C RELATED <br />To Whom. It May Concern: <br />I am in. support of the proposed Related. Bristol mixed -use project because of them significant economicbenefits, <br />comm'.anity 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.programrhed open green space 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 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 mix of <br />programmed parks, open-air plazas and pedestrian -only paseos—a sharp contrastto the asphalt -heavy <br />shopping center thatexists 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 RelatedBristol is the type of. mixed -use 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 />I support Related Bristol and urge you to approve this visionary development. <br />Thank you, <br />Signature: i <br />
