RE: AMENDMENT APPLICATION (AA) NO. 2023-03, TENTATIVE TRACT MAP (TTM) NO. 2023- 01, AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (DA) NO. 2023-02 FOR THE 41-ACRE SITE GENERALLY LOCATED AT 3600 SOUTH BRISTOL STREET LOCATED WITHIN THE GENERAL COMMERCIAL (C2) AND COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL (CR) ZONING DISTRICTS. As a resident of Santa Ana, Sandpointe Community, I am expressing my wholehearted supportfor the Related Bristol project application referenced in the Subject above, for many reasons. • We have considered moving from Santa Ana in the past for many reasons, and this project is greatly needed in our community to enhance and upgrade the area, while creating opportunities in housing and upgrades that are way overdue in our region. We have been residents here in the same home since 1974, some 50+years. • The aging shopping and retail centers, need a major upgrade, as they are degrading and attracting an unwelcome element in the surrounding neighborhoods. Businesses have moved or close repeatedly in this area as a result, and we often drive distances to other areas in Orange County for essentials and dining as a result. • The specific plan proposed will serve to upgrade the area considerably, and offer a greater level of security and cleanliness to this part of our area, with strongerties to the one area of neglect, adjacent to South Coast Plaza, with appropriate and needed changes. • Related Companies of California is a major player in the Western US, particularly in the Los Angeles greater Metro area, with absolutely top-drawer luxury projects in this arena, specifically in the South Bay LA, Century City, Downtown LA,'s Civic Center among many, many others, helping upgrade property values, attractiveness and more favorable images for these and many adjoining neighborhoods throughout the region. We need this help. I firmly believe that this plan is sound, greatly needed at this time, and showing more than adequate provisions for the community, the City of Santa Ana, the greater regions and the overall image of what has been a slowly declining neighborhood over our 5 decades of residency here. It's about time, and long overdue. Thank you for your consideration, respectfully Michael J. Hixson 302 Juniper Ave Santa Ana, CA 92707 L19.1 43
