Dale Helvig <br />2536 N. Valencia St. Santa Ana CA 92706 <br />714-541-7254 helvig_denny@msn.com <br />ITEM 14 <br />IMPLEMENTATION <br />The Land Use Element does not address the absence of 200 acres of parkland and the profound impact <br />this will have on the physical, social, mental, and economic health and well-being of Santa Ana <br />residents. <br />ITEM 15 <br />GENERAL COMMENTS <br />Why were areas north of the 1-5 Freeway excluded from the environmental justice consideration? <br />Homes next to the freeway in the communities of Mabury Park, Grand Sunrise and Park Santiago are <br />areas that have environmental issues as well. There is lead in the soil, as well as other pollutants. Heavy <br />particulates and noise concerns are also an issue due to the proximity to the freeway. <br />In summary, I see don't see much meat in General Plan. Although a tremendous amount of effort has <br />been spent on this project, I see the General Plan as a blueprint for development rather than a vision <br />for the City of Santa Ana. The draft vision of the city to strive to maintain the parkland space is not <br />even met. With the buildout population increase of over 96,000 people, just to maintain the current <br />deficient ratio of 1 acre per 1000 residents we need to have a vision of 192 of additional parkland <br />space. Notice the 2045 vision for increased parkland space is ZERO. <br />Page 8 of 9 <br />2021-12-07 Letter to City Council - GP Comments on Land Use Element <br />
