Use caution when opening attachments or <br />links. <br />Dear Mayor Amezcua and Members of the City Council, <br /> <br />My name is Ryan and I am writing as a homeowner (and landlord) in the Transit Zoning Code area to <br />strongly urge you to make permanent the ban on industrial uses within my neighborhood. The health <br />and safety of our community is a top priority for me and my wife, and the industrial uses in the zone are <br />incompatible with the quality of life we want. <br />Santa Ana is a great place to live and work, but litter and waste, chemical pollution on the streets, and <br />air pollution are key indicators that industrial neighbors are not being good stewards. <br /> <br />Metal recyclers and waste dumps have their place, just not 200 feet away from an elementary school <br />and a neighborhood park. These types of industries, though essential, need to be placed outside of the <br />residential and transit-oriented development zone we are working to build. The City Council has twice <br />agreed unanimously that industrial uses in this zone have placed an inequitable environmental and <br />health burden on those of us in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. The General Plan adopted by the <br />City Council in 2022 compels you to address these inequities by permanently banning industrial uses in <br />the Transit Zoning Code. <br /> <br />Please do not allow outside business interests to override the concerns of the approximately 10,000 <br />residents who live here and deal with these health and safety concerns everyday. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Ryan Friesen <br /> <br />Homeowner in Ward 6 <br />1 <br />
