Comment L13: Teresa Saldivar (1 page) Late Comment Letter <br />Hello Madame Chair and honorable Santa Ana Planning Commissioners. <br />My name is Teresa Saldivar, owner of Teresa's Jewelers, a family owned and operated <br />business in the heart of downtown Santa Ana for more than three decades. <br />I grew up in Santa ana and my roots are here. As a business owner in this City, I have a <br />deep and vested interest in Santa Ana and its future. <br />When I first heard about Related Bristol two years ago and how it will dramatically <br />improve the existing Metro Town Square on south Bristol Street, I was excited. And my <br />enthusiasm has only grown as I have learned Related Bristol will create thousands of <br />new jobs and generate millions of dollars in new and needed tax revenue for our historic <br />City to help fund so many important City programs and projects. <br />Just as important, I believe Related Bristol will become a new gateway to our City and it <br />will be the type of development all of Santa Ana can point to with pride. This City, a <br />place I love, needs to keep growing and changing to attract new businesses to open <br />their doors in Santa Ana and to attract new visitors to shop and dine here whether it is in <br />historic downtown or at new destinations like Related Bristol. <br />During the past two years, I have come to know the Related Bristol team while attending <br />community events across the city. This developer cares about Santa Ana's future. They <br />have already invested and supported our City because they will be our neighbors and <br />partners for years to come if this project is approved and built. <br />This evening, I respectfully ask you to recommend this project to the City Council for <br />their final approval. I make this request for the continued betterment of our special city. <br />Thank you. <br />L13.1 <br />28 <br />
