Height Hearing For D-Land Set Future expansion, investment and the economic life of Disneyland have prompted the Anaheim Planning Commission to set a hearing for tonight, 7 p.m. to consider the establishment of a height limitation on high-rise buildings in the area surrounding the Disneyland area. The economic impact on the Anaheim city economy was the object of a study by the Economic Research Associates. ERA President Harrison Price released such astounding figures as: In its ten years of operation, Disneyland has attracted 49,000,000 visitors. The attendance has been larger than the attendance at any one-season World's Fair ever held, and is five times greater than attendance at Seattle. Visitors spend $5 and $6 per capita in the Park — an amount previously unheard of at recreational attractions. Investment in construction and design has totaled nearly $50 million. Disneyland has paid nearly $2 million in property tax to the City of Anaheim — in addition to added millions by increasing the value of surrounding land. It is the single largest taxpayer in the city. Other factors include sales tax revenue, 1,800,000; Disneyland generated construction in Anaheim, 54,000,000; Disneyland support establishment wholesale trade in Anaheim 15,000,000. Not all of the values of Disneyland to Anaheim are measurable in dollar increments. According to the report, Disneyland has helped Anaheim become the most important community focus in the county in many segments of economic life. Indicative of this fact: (1) the success of the Melodyland Theater is due to its county-wide drawing power; (2) the same influences will operate on the new convention facility — with out Disneyland the opportunities available for this facility would be dramatically diminished; (3) another example of this focusing effect is the placement of major airline ticket agencies. No other airline ticket offices exist in the county. City officials and Disneyland officials hope to reach an agreeable solution. The factors on both side are many. The Planning Commission realizes that with increasing land costs developers will not be able to afford anything but high-rise. Disneyland officials continue that buildings seen from inside the Park will destroy the "illusion of another world" cut attendance. The City knows full well without the ERA report, that the importance of Disneyland is more than economical but has changed the destiny of the city and undoubtedly will continue to be the impetus behind the vast commercial-realational community as well as the industrial development. The height limitation plan prepared by John Wise of the Disneyland engineering department, shows the areas of "point in space" that a developer may build down to grade level depending on the distance from the park. If the height limitation map was made policy by the city, the possibility exists that it may have to be revised in the future. Disneyland, official point out the park has the potential (as shown in the map) of doubling in size. There is no easy solution to the problem. However, Mayo Chuck Chandler has said "we must do something, in the next 15 years it may not have been the best solution, but at least we have tried." Disneyland has paid nearly $2 million in property tax to the City of Anaheim — in addition to added millions by increasing the value of surrounding land. It is the single largest taxpayer in the city. MUSCLES NEEDED — Physical fitness as well as intelligence are required to complete the firemen's course in the Anaheim Fire Department. Many hours of practice must be spent before the rookie fireman works smoothly with the team to raise and lower the large, wooden, three-story ladder.
