Santa Ana City Council <br />20 Civic Center Plaza <br />Santa Ana, CA 92702 <br /> <br />GL L i <br />CITY 0¡ ::'ii\¡<¡ ~j., :;'1(11 <br /> <br />RE: One Broadway Plaza <br /> <br />Dear Mayor Pulido: <br /> <br />I am a concerned Santa Ana resident, and am writing this letter to protest the build/development <br />of this 37 story building plus 7 story parking structure covering the area between Broadway, <br />Sycamore, Tenth and Washington Streets. <br /> <br />The Mid Town Specific Plan, which the Council approved in 1996, specifically limited the <br />development of structures in this area to no more than 3 stories not to exceed 35 feet in height. <br />This was approved with the intention of preserving the historic Broadway Corridor. <br /> <br />I am opposed to this project and ask that you vote against One Broadway Plaza. Here are <br />some of my concerns: <br /> <br />Affect on Broadwav Corridor Properties - I understand that at least three historic properties <br />along the Corridor would be destroyed or relocated. There goes our cultural and historical <br />heritage to say nothing of the impact on those historical properties surrounding them. <br /> <br />Affect on Traffic/Conaestion - Should the project be approved it has been estimated that there <br />will be 6000 vehicle trips per day. This will not only lead to severe congestion in and general <br />access to the downtown area, but will also overburden freeway on ramps and off ramps leading <br />to downtown. <br /> <br />Affect on Area Schools - Specifically, the Orange County High School of the Performing Arts, in <br />the vicinity of the project, would certainly be adversely impacted. <br /> <br />Affect on Residential Neiahborhoods - Who wants a looming monolith of this proportion casting <br />a shadow over his/her home and backyard? No one. And after construction of this project, who <br />knows what further development and destruction of existing properties would follow in the wake <br />of Broadway One. <br /> <br />I urge you to vote against approval of the One Broadway Plaza Project. <br /> <br />sin7' r,el,t, <br />.j .// <br />L/ I, /)~ <br />,rV'/ <br />SARAH P.
