Orozco, Norma <br />From: nichole pham <nicholepham@yahoo.com> <br />Sent: Monday, July 13, 2020 7:16 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: City Council Meeting <br />Categories: Correspondence <br />This is in regards to the 7-Eleven Convenience Store and Service Station located at 813 North Euclid Street in <br />the Community Commercial (C-1) zone. Hearing set for Tuesday, July 21, 2020 at 5:45p. <br />I am 100% against this project as I believe a 24 hour, 7 days a week Convenience Store and Service Station will <br />bring trouble and harm to the area. I live within close walking distance as I received the letter to submit my <br />comments on this matter. I have two young children and one goes to the elementary school that's a few minutes <br />walk from this location. I believe a 24/7 establishment will open the doors to more possible crime and loitering <br />to the area. When I was looking at houses to buy with my husband, we wanted an area away from gas stations <br />and convenience stores. We would not have purchased our house if this convenience store and service station <br />was already there. I do not want more reason to fear for my children's safety and do not want an establishment <br />that's 24/7 within walking distance. This convenience store will be selling alcohol and cigarettes, and that is not <br />something that should be near any school let alone an elementary school. Many neighbors on my street do not <br />speak English and are not the home owners so I fear that there won't be as much response against this project as <br />there should be. A service station will also bring more traffic to this main street and I fear more accidents, <br />especially when kids are walking to and from school, will happen. We have already had small issues of theft <br />and vandalism, and I can only imagine it would be worse with alcohol readily available at all hours of the night. <br />Nothing good happens in the middle of the night and I do not want to have to be concerned about higher <br />activities from lOp-5a next to my home. I do not see anything good from this and do not want this to <br />happen. <br />Nichole Pham <br />
