Dale Helvig <br />Resident, Santa Ana CA 92706 <br />21. Page D-5, Item 4: According to the City website httos://www.santa-ana.org/our-neighborhoods/ <br />there are 64 distinct neighborhoods, not 54. <br />22. Page D-10, Item 14, Historic Neighborhood Preservation. Request this program remain in place. <br />23. Page E-72: Overcrowding. Well, here is the City's definition of overcrowding: "A household is <br />considered overcrowded if there is more than one person per room and severely overcrowded if <br />there is more than 1_5 persons per room." In general, the federal Department of Housing and <br />Urban Development's Fair Housing Act recommends an occupancy limit of two people per <br />bedroom in rental units. So, the simplest answer to the question of how many people can live in <br />one two -bedroom apartment is: usually four. I understand where the one per room and 1.5 per <br />room comes from but I just don't buy it. Example: According to the City, a 2500 sq. ft., <br />3-bedroom house, occupied by a young couple [2 people, one bedroom] with one child [one <br />bedroom], and 2 grandparents [2 people, one bedroom] living with them it is considered an <br />overcrowded situation. <br />24.

Stay safe, stay healthy. <br />Respectfully, <br />Qk A.t <br />Dale A Helvig <br />Resident, Santa Ana <br />cc: Kristine Ridge <br />City Manager, Santa Ana <br />Sonia Carvalho <br />City Attorney, Santa Ana <br />Steven Mendoza <br />Assistant City Manager, Santa Ana <br />Minh Thai, <br />Executive Director, Planning <br />Fabiola Zelaya Melicher, <br />Manager, Planning <br />Page 6 of 6 <br />2022-07-18 Letter to City Council - Housing Element <br />Comment <br />No. 21 <br />Comment <br />No. 22 <br />Comment <br />No. 23 <br />Comment <br />No. 24 <br />
