Zoning Debate, Transit Changes and Disneyland Scare Lead Anaheim Headlines

A busy week in Anaheim brought policy debate at City Hall, a looming transit deadline and a high-profile police response at the resort district.

City Council Weighs Zoning Update, Dog Park Proposal

The Anaheim City Council met Tuesday, March 24, with several community-focused items on the agenda.

Among the key discussions: updates to the city’s zoning code procedures and a proposal tied to a future dog park project. Council members also received routine financial reports and the latest police crime statistics for February.

The zoning conversation continues a broader effort to refine how development applications are processed, while the dog park item reflects ongoing neighborhood interest in expanding park amenities. Additional debate and potential follow-up votes are expected in coming meetings.

Resort Transit Service Set to End March 31

Anaheim Resort Transportation, which has long provided shuttle service around the resort area, is scheduled to cease operations on March 31, 2026.

Officials previously cited rising operating costs and stagnant revenues as reasons for the shutdown. The change will affect visitors and workers who rely on the system to move between hotels, parking areas and major attractions.

Disneyland has indicated it will continue operating its own parking lot shuttle service, but the broader network of resort-area routes will no longer run after this month.

Police Investigate Disneyland Swatting Incident

Anaheim police are continuing to investigate a recent swatting incident at Disneyland after reports of an active shooter and bomb threat triggered a major law enforcement response.

Authorities later determined the threats were unfounded. The incident temporarily disrupted operations and drew concern from guests and employees. Investigators are examining whether online activity played a role in the false report.

While no injuries were reported, the episode underscores the ongoing challenge of responding quickly to potential threats in one of the nation’s most visited destinations.
