Euclid Street @ Hazard Ave Proposed 24-hr. 7-Eleven convenience store and gas station Dear Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: Thank you for the opportunity to conduct additional community outreach and for your consideration of 7- Eleven's Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application for 24-hours. On Friday, April 17' I knocked on approximately 90 doors of residences located within a 300 ft. radius of the subject property and engaged in discussions regarding the proposed 7-Eleven convenience store, gas station and request for 24-hours. I handed the attached flyer (Exhibit A) to those that came to the door and were willing to engage in a discussion regarding our project in English or Spanish and left flyers with those that were not home or not willing to come to the door. At the request of Staff, I expanded the community outreach to a radius of 500 ft. to include an additional 118 residences and went door knocking again on Tuesday, June 16`h, Wednesday, June 17' and Thursday, June 18' between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. While there are admittedly a select few within the community that do not want a 24-hour 7-Eleven convenience store and gas station on the corner of Euclid and Hazard, there are many more members of the community that want this project. Please see the attached petition containing 68 signatures in support of the project (Exhibit B). Below is also a summary of those residents that signed the petition: Six (6) of the signatures come from the residents that live within the condominiums located directly across Hazard Avenue to the north. Omar Dominguez, who spoke in favor of our project at the first Planning Commission hearing, also lives here. He emailed Staff a letter in support of our project on Friday, June 19' (Exhibit Q. But Nguyen, who owns and lives in the 2-story home located on the southwest corner of Euclid Street and Hazard Avenue and directly across the street from the project site to the west, signed the petition and also sent Staff an email in support of our project on Friday, June 19' (Exhibit D). Rene Garcia, who lives adjacent to and south of the subject property has been an advocate for this project since the beginning of this effort. He too signed the petition in support of the project. The resident who lives one parcel over to the south at 805 N. Euclid Street also signed the petition. 75A-87
