ANAHEIM — Threatened by the imposing public costs of locating Walt Disney's $3-billion Westcot Center here, residents on Wednesday said they also fear that an influx of new employees would overrun an already depleted stock of affordable housing.

In two meetings Wednesday, local homeowners and business people also expressed concern about traffic and the impact of the project on schools, which has yet to be addressed by the city or Disney officials.

"We have seen nothing but watercolors," said Curtis Stricker, president of Anaheim Home, a local homeowners' group. "I have seen nothing but the puff and the fluff. . . ."

City officials held the meetings so consultants from Michael Brandman Associates of Santa Ana could incorporate residents' concerns in the draft report. That report will be submitted to the City Council by the end of the year.

Anaheim officials had planned for an overflow crowd and had prepared a basement area where people could watch the meeting on television. But only about 100 turned out for the evening meeting and about 75 for the afternoon meeting.

Although Disney has proposed a new hotel district, retail center, a new theme park and lush public plaza areas for Anaheim, the entertainment company has yet to decide whether it will build its second Southern California attraction in Anaheim or in Long Beach, where it has planned a 414-acre ocean theme park called Port Disney.

Disney officials said that local public support, including the willingness of the two local governments to pump millions in public money to offset the cost of the project, will be key factors in determining which city will win the lucrative development. A decision is not expected until the end of the year.

Maria-Elena Romero, a planning director for the Anaheim City School District, told the consultants Wednesday that the district "has serious concerns already. Thousands of new employment opportunities will (mean) new residents and add students to our already overcrowded schools."

Romero said her department figured that for every 100 new hotel rooms, 90 employees will be needed. Disney's plans call for three new hotels, providing more than 4,000 new rooms.

"This is going to bring a lot of $6- to $7-per-hour employees who will not be able to afford the commute from Riverside," Romero said outside the council chamber. "These people are going to have to move here and bring their families with them.
