40 Development Architecture-&neiueering-Conetructiou 5932 Bolsa Avenue, Suite 107 - Huntington Beach, CA 92649 Tel (714) 892-8810 Fax (800) 342-0507 • Nine (9) of the signatures come from the residents of the nearby apartment complex located south of the site at 721 N. Euclid Street. Fourteen (14) of the signatures come from the residents that live across the street to the west between the addresses of 706 - 816 N. Euclid Street. Many of these residents grew -up in this community and have fond memories of the convenience store that used to be located on the subject property. They also shared stories of the strawberry fields that once were located where the gated condominium project is now located in the City of Garden Grove. These residents of Santa Ana support our project and desire to have a convenience store within walking distance again and also like that it will be open 24-hours. Approximately twelve (12) additional signatures in support of the project are from residents that live on Seventh Street located south of the project site. Four (4) residents on Evonda Street also signed the petition and look forward to having a 24-hour convenience store within walking distance. Four (4) of the six (6) residents in the condominium project located on the south side of Hazard Avenue and at the outer edge of the 500 ft. radius are also in support of the project and look forward to having a 24-hour convenience store within walking distance. In addition, with the help of a translator, we were able to make contact with the Buddhist Temple located adjacent to the subject property to the east and we now have their support for this project as well. Please see the attached support letters in both English and Vietnamese (Exhibit E). These residents and property owners, who are nearest the subject property, want to see the property redeveloped and look forward to having a 24-hour 7-Eleven convenience store and gas station within walking distance. Please see the attached 500 ft. radius map with all of the properties corresponding to the 68 signatures, email correspondence and letters in support of the project highlighted in green (Exhibit F). I would also like to take this opportunity to address some of the issues and concerns raised at the last City Council hearing. Concern no. 1: Councilwoman Iglesias and Councilman Penaloza both expressed concerns in approving 24-hours because the property is adjacent to residential and how that might negatively affect the quality of life for the residents that live within the area. Response for Council's consideration: Planning Staff required the preparation of a comprehensive CEQA Initial Study be performed by a third -party environmental consulting company. The CEQA Study included a 74 page Noise Impact Analysis that concluded the project would have a "less than a significant impact" regarding noise with the implementation of two (2) minor mitigation measures, which 7-Eleven has agreed to and are included as conditions of approval. 2 75A-88
