C 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 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 contrast 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 -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 />soc'ial: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 :� : Y [ "' h [ .... <br />City .
