Main Street <br />Final Environmental Impact Report, No. 2018-01 (SCH No. 2018021031) <br />Honorable Mayor Pulido and Members of the City Council: <br />This office represents the Park Santiago Neighborhood Association ("PSNA"), a <br />coalition of interested property owners located in the City of Santa Ana ("City"), within <br />the zone of impacts of the proposed residential development project commonly referred <br />to as Magnolia at the Park Multi -Family Residential Project or the Addington, located at <br />2525 N. Main Street ("Project"). This letter addresses AC 2525 Main LLC's ("Applicant") <br />appeal of the City of Santa Ana Planning Commission's ("Planning Commission") recent <br />denial of the Proposed Project at its meeting on October 28, 2019. <br />PSNA is concerned regarding the Applicant's continued pursuit of approvals that do not <br />conform to the policies and objectives of the City's General Plan and its efforts to do so <br />by way of bribing adjacent property owners. In addition, the City's continued willingness <br />to consider a high density multi -family residential development in an area where it would <br />not mesh raises concerns as to why the City has not asked the Applicant to consider <br />other viable development options for the site that would not have a detrimental effect on <br />the community and that would conform with the policies and objectives of the General <br />Plan. <br />PSNA respectfully requests that the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council <br />("City Council") affirm the Planning Commission's denial, in accordance with <br />recommendation one in the Staff Report. PSNA submits that the Planning Commission <br />correctly rejected the modified Project. Indeed, despite multiple revisions, the Project <br />remains grossly inconsistent with the City of Santa Ana's General Plan and the <br />character of the surrounding community.
