KRELATED Bristol To VW"" It May Concem, I am in support of the proposed Related Bristol mixed -use project because of the significant economic benefits, community benerits and additional housing it w;J provide for the City of Santa Ana for decades to come Rede,relop:ng the aging, auto -centric suburban shopp ng center on South Bristol Street ,nto a walkabie. people -first community of residences shops. restaurants and programmed open green space wX be a major econom c boost to the City. Approximately TWO jobs will be c eated along with an es!imated $10 7 rr illion n annual tax revenue to help fund the expansion of services and programs throughout Santa Ana. Once built. nearly or.e-third of the devebpment will be dedicated to open space with an adive 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 vital —and refreshing--altemative to other uroan developments. Moreover, Santa Ana is centrat to many major employers and the City needs more housing to retain and attract skilled wdrkers Related Bristoi will offer a diverse mix of housing and Lifestyle options that will meet this critical regional need I believe Related Bristol is the type & mixed -use oevelopment that City officials envisioned and advocated in the General Plan for the South Bristol Street Corridor.
