The Anaheim City Council approved the $5.3-million purchase of the property under its motel conversion program.
Just three miles from Angel Stadium, the chance to bring more affordable housing to Anaheim arrived with less political acrimony than recent plans for the stadium site., the stadium sale and affordable housing, council members more plainly decided the fate of a run-down motel last week.But under the city’s motel conversion program passed in 2019, the 32-room motel will soon become an affordable housing site after Anaheim pledged to purchase the half-acre property for $5.3 million.
City staff identified Tampico Motel as an alternate site; it will be Anaheim’s third motel conversion project since the start of the program, which is similar to the state’s Project Homekey effort. Councilman Stephen Faessel said the Tampico Motel “has been the focus of police actions for decades.” “You were too kind in the adjectives you used about that property,” Faessel told Ruiz-Stepter. “This is a huge, huge win for State College [Boulevard]. The Tampico has been the focus of police actions for decades.”“This property is close to popular restaurants, shopping [and] services to the community,” he said. “It is also in a major intersection. State College Boulevard needs and deserves some attention.
