� uJ <br />HRELATED:Dristol <br />�- <br />�i <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />am 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 refresh ing=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 willoffer 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.expansib.n 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 you; <br />NAME; 1 ENTAIL: G <br />ADDRESS: cv l <br />Yes; lam willing` to speak publicly as a supporter of Related Bristol. <br />
