Zuniga, Diana From: Garrett Gee < Sent: Saturday, March 29, 2025 12:54 PM To: eComment Subject: Support for Item 22 Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear Mayor Amezcua and Members of the City Council, I am writing as a resident of the Transit Zoning Code to express my strong support for the proposed amendments to the SD-84 zoning code, and specifically the removal of the M1 and M2 industrial use overlay. These amendments are a long - overdue fix to the decades of incompatible land uses in the Lacy and Logan neighborhood. I appreciate that the proposed amendments will not force out any existing businesses currently operating within the affected areas. Rather, they will create flexibility for business owners to sell their business and for property owners to re -tenet their buildings with a broad range of businesses. This will allow for business owners to continue to positively contribute to the neighborhood and prevent vacant buildings. These amendments also provide the city with an essential tool to address the bad actors who are negatively affecting the quality of life in the neighborhood, such as the dump and metal recycling facilities next to Garfield Elementary School. With these amendments, we can better encourage responsible business ownership, ultimately improving the quality of life for residents and business owners alike. I encourage the City Council to approve these amendments for the benefit of the 1,500 families in the historic Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, and the city as a whole. Sincerely, Garrett Gee Ward 6
