Ocampo, Nuvia <br />From: Nancy <nnc.mejia@gmail.com> <br />Sent: Sunday, February 25, 2024 9:35 PM <br />To: eComments, PBA; Gomez, Pedro <br />Subject: Agenda Item 2: McDonald's on Santa Clara <br />Dear Planning Commissioners, <br />I am writing to urge that you deny the Conditional Use Permit for the proposed McDonald's project on <br />2101 and 2109 E Santa Clara St. I am a property owner across the street at 2030 E Santa Clara Ave, and I am <br />very concerned about this project due to the nuisance it will create in the neighborhood in terms of traffic, <br />smell, and noise. This is a fairly peaceful and quiet area, and adding a McDonald's would go against the <br />residential fabric of the neighborhood. This would create a different scenario than the Del Taco, given the Del <br />Taco is across from the vacant lot on the Southwest corner and on the corner of the arterial (Tustin), not to <br />mention within the shopping center. The McDonald's would be directly across from a condominium complex <br />and a preschool, and would cause unwanted disturbances to both. It is not technically on an arterial street, and <br />should not be allowed a C5 (Arterial Commercial) designation. Furthermore, the land use would eliminate <br />agricultural land, which could be developed as a community garden or micro -farm that would bring more public <br />benefit to the area, which has many families and children in the condos and apartment complexes. We do not <br />want another fast food establishment in this area - there are already many with the newer ones that went up on <br />17th and Tustin. Please don't turn our neighborhood into an unhealthy one by design. Our families deserve <br />access to healthy food and air free of the strong smells that come with fast food joints. <br />I am highly opposed to this project. Please do not approve the McDonald's in this location. <br />Sincerely, <br />Nancy Mejia <br />
