I. amin 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 .prograrnmed 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 />retai.ri 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 />supportRelated Bristol and urge you to approve this. visionary development <br />Thank you, <br />DAME; t'1 j.4i .
