BRELATED Bristol To Whom It May Concern f am in support of the proposed Related Bristol mixed -use project because of the signif►cant economic benefits, community benefits and add tional housing it will provide for the City of Santa Ana for decades to come. Redeveloping the aging, auto -centric suburban shopping center on South Bristol Street into a walkable, people -first community of residences. shops, restaurants and programmed open green space vnT be a major economic boost to the City. Approximately 7.500 jobs wtll be cCeated, along with an estimated $10 7 million in annual tax revenue to help fund the expansion of services and programs throughout Santa Ana. Once built. nearly one-thL d of the development will be dedicated to open space with an active mix of programmed parks. open-air plazas and pedestrian -only paseos—a sharp contrast to the asphalt -heavy shopping center that exists there today. Open space on this scale in the heart of Orange County is in high demand, but short supply, which is why Related Bristol is such a vita' and refreshing--altemative to other urban developments. Moreover. Santa Ana is central to many major emp:oyers and the City reeds more housir:g to retain and attract skilled wdrkers. Related Bristol will offer a diverse mix of housing and lifestyle options that will meet this critical regional need I believe Related Bristol is the type of mixed -use development that City officials envisioned and advocated in the General flan for the South Bristol Street Corridor. Approval of this Innovative and dynamic project is essential to sustain Santa Ana's grovrth and prosperity for years to come and contribute to the ecor.am;c, social and cultural expansion of one of the largest, most important sties in Orange County I support Related Bristol and urge you to approve this visionary development.
