Dale Helvig Resident, Santa Ana CA 92706 12. Page 26: Section 17 General Plan. Statement reads: "If the goals established in the plan are not Comment being met, the plan will be amended as needed." Why not take the approach of providing more resources to ensure the goals can be met? Revising the plan admits defeat. I No. 12 13. Page 42: Table 2, Housing Implementation Summary Item No. 12B. 'Proactively reach out to at least 20 owners of properties eligible for placement on the local register of historic properties to Comment encourage voluntary listing and preservation of resource during the planning period." Time frame No. 13 is by June 2029. So, the way I read this is the City will reach out to roughly 3 homes per year. Is this the intent, and if so, how is a maximum of 20 homes in seven years acceptable? 14. Page A-2: Population Growth Table A-1, Population Growth Trends. Comment Data in column for "4 Change 2020-2030" needs to be revised. Santa Ana' should be 5.8% No. 14 versus 8.6%; . Santa Ana (rev.)' should be 6.7-9.0%versus 6.3-8.3%. 15. Page A-3: Santa Ana has one of the larger and faster growing Vietnamese -American populations Comment in the county, representing 8 percent of the city's total population. Table A-2, Race And Ethnicity shows Asians make up 12.1 percent. This should be fixed. No. 15 16. Page A-4: Employment. The sentence 'The number of employed residents in Santa Ana increased 7 percent from 126,100 in May 2020, to 145,100 in August 2021."leaves me guessing. Is it saying Comment less than half of Santa Ana the residents are employed or less than half of Santa Ana the residents No. 16 work in the City of Santa Ana? I think some clarification is needed. 17. Page B-38: Code Enforcement. Would like to see stronger language here. The recent removal of Comment over 30 cars on a residential property took over 7 years to enforce. I would like to see stronger No. 17 language here. 18. Page B-38: Overcrowding. This paragraph provides almost zero substance to the average reader. Even after reading Briseilo v. City of Santa Ana, it leaves me guessing as to what the City of Sant Comment Ana considers overcrowding. This section should define overcrowding. I believe a 2-bedroom No. 18 unit is allowed 2 in each bedroom and one more in a living room for a total of five. Please confirm. 19. Page C-12: LAND INVENTORY. Delete the word "allocation" in the following sentence: The housing element must identify available sites in the city if the Housing Development Credit does Comment not meet or exceed the RHNA allocation... " since RHNA stands for Regional Housing Needs No. 19 Allocation. [Page D-11, Table D-3 has same issue]. 20. Page C-26: Table C-6, Summary of RHNA and Housing Sites Table. Interesting to note Site Comment rezoning is listed as "NOT Necessary". No. 20 Page 5 of 6 2022-07-18 Letter to City Council -Housing Element
