RELATED <br />To Whom It May Concern; <br />I am in support of the proposed Related Bristol mixed -use project because of the significant economic benefits <br />community benefits and additional housing it will provide for the City of Santa Ana for decades to come. <br />Redeveloping the aging, auto -centric suburban shopping center on South. Bristol Street into a walkable, <br />people -first community. of residences, shops, restaurants and programmed open green. s.pace will be.a major <br />economic boost to the City. <br />Approximately 7,500 jobs will be created, along with an estimated $10.7 million in annual tax revenue to help <br />fund tl';e 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 mix of <br />programmed parks, open-air plazas and: pedestrian -only paseos—a sharpcontrast to the asphalt -heavy <br />shopping center that exists there today. Open space on this scale in the heart of Orange County is in high <br />demand, but short supply, which is why Related Bristol is such a vital —and refreshing —alternative to other <br />urban developments.. <br />Moreover,. Santa Ana is central to many major employers and the City needs more housing to retain and attract <br />skilled workers. Related. Bristol will offer a diverse. mix.of housing and lifestyle options that will meet this critical <br />regional need. <br />I believe Related Bristol is the type of mixed -muse development that City officials envisioned and advocated in <br />the General Plan for the South Bristol Street Corridor. Approval of this innovative and dynamic project is <br />essential to sustain Santa. Ana's growth and: prosperity for years to come and :contribute to the economic, <br />social and cultural expansion of one of the largest, most important cities in Orange County. <br />support Related Bristol and urge you to approve this visionary development. <br />Thank you, <br />Signature: <br />Print Name r' <br />city� <br />Address <br />_Email <br />Optional.: <br />
