A proveable pattern for the "critical view angle" was shown to some 70 persons at a meeting at the Anaheim Library yesterday, in conjunction with the city's desire to set a standard for development in the Disneyland Park area. John Wise, of the Disneyland Engineering Department gave data on a study made to establish a "level or height in space" elevation for the surrounding areas near the Disneyland Park. Maps were shown with levels of satisfactory heights that would not destroy the "illusion of a fantasyland for the visitors of the park." From a reference point in the hub of the park, a line representing a "point in space" above mean sea level was established. Developers would determine the height of the building by measuring down to the ground and provide for the land grade of 10 feet higher on the northern sections and 10 feet lower on the southern. A public hearing will be on July 8 at 7 p.m. by Anaheim Planning Association. All interested parties were asked by Mayor Chandler to present their views at that time.

A public hearing will be held on July 8 at 7 p.m. before the Anaheim Planning Commission. All interested participants were asked by Mayor Chuck Chandler to present testimony at that time. Also released at the meeting was an Economics Research Associates (E.R.A.) of Los Angeles study on the "Economic Impact of the Disneyland Recreation Complex on the City of Anaheim". A summary reports that the 1955-1964 economic impact to Anaheim was approximately $560 million. The annual impact is presently slightly above $60 million. This impact is only on that which is dispersed within the city limits of Anaheim and not the surrounding area. In each case the total estimate is derived from the following constituent elements; in-park sales, retail trade and service sales in Anaheim generated outside the park, whole sale trade purchases in Anaheim, construction expenditures, property tax payments to the City of Anaheim, and Anaheim sales tax collections generated by the Disneyland recreation complex. The analysis shows that a $46 million private investment in the Park brought twelve times that amount of economic activity to the city in the first decade of its operation. A conclusion of the analysis and prior work which led to its development is that the Disneyland investment is the prime force back of the total commercial recreation impact in Anaheim. On the order of 80 to 85 per cent of the total impact is derived directly from the Park. The report in full has some astounding figures. Copies are on file at the Library for public use. "Future expansion, investment, and development of the Park hangs on this decisions for height limitation," according to Ed Ettinger of Disneyland.
