To Whom It May Concern: <br />lam in'support of the proposed Related Bristol mixed -use project because of the significant <br />economic benefits, community benefits and additional housing it will provide for the City .of <br />Santa Ana for decades to come. <br />Redeveloping the aging, auto -centric suburban shopping center on South. Bristol Street into a <br />walkable, people -first community of residences, shops, restaurants. and programmed open <br />green space will be a major economic boost to the City. <br />Approximately 7,500 jobs will be created, along with an estimated $10.7 million in annual tax <br />revenue to help fund the expansion of services and programs throughout Santa Ana. <br />Once built, nearly one-third of the. development will be dedicated to open:space with an active <br />mix of programmed parks, open-air plazas and pedestrian -only paseos—a sharp contrast to the <br />asphalt -heavy shopping center that exists there today. Open space on this scale in the heart of <br />Orange County is in high demand., but short supply, which is why Related Bristol is such a <br />vital=and refreshing —alternative to other urban developments. <br />Moreover, Santa Ana is central to many major employers and the City needs more housing to <br />retain and attract skilled workers. Related Bristol will offer a diverse mix of housing and lifestyle <br />options that will meet this critical regional need. <br />I believe Related Bristol is the type of mixed -use development that City officials envisioned and <br />advocated in the General Plan for the South Bristol Street Corridor. Approval of this innovative <br />and. dynamic project is essential: to sustain Santa Ana's growth and prosperity for years to come <br />and contribute to the economic, social and cultural expansion of one of the largest, most <br />important cities in Orange County. <br />support Related Bristol and urge you to approve this visionary development. <br />Thank yo.u,. ] <br />NAME:. 1 fit% 1 '�!�'; cli�� 3 EMAIL:... . <br />ik. g�tJ' <br />ADDRESS � `� .
