Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Dear Councilmember Lopez, <br />I'm writing to you today regarding the SD-84 TZC Rezoning proposal. I recognize that you've heard from many <br />stakeholders —both residents and business owners —and while the discussion has grown somewhat tense, I remain hopeful <br />that totnorrow's meeting will be guided by level-headed deliberation and a shared desire for a mutually beneficial <br />outcome. <br />I am a fourth -generation owner of Pacific Plumbing of Santa Ana. Our company has proudly served this community since <br />1929, and with a deep appreciation for our long-standing relationship with Santa Ana, I am folly committed to building a <br />prosperous and sustainable future here. That said, some of the vague language in the rezoning proposal being brought <br />forward puts my future in jeopardy. Many of the current proposed compromises seem tailored to long-time business <br />owners nearing retirement. While I deeply respect their contributions, these short -terra allowances simply do not work for <br />a younger businesswoman with a bright vision for the future. The truth is that if the initiative were to be approved, it <br />would directly impact property values to the point where I could not reinvest in Santa Ana. Relocating to an industrial <br />area would not be financially feasible, nor would I be able to improve the building or grow the business to better serve our <br />cotntnunity. I understand why some short-term concessions have leaned towards their concerns —they have been the most <br />vocal —but I am speaking up now to ask for a broader, future -focused perspective. <br />1 am asking you to vote no tomorrow on SD-84. I am asking for the chance to collaborate with the city on a path forward <br />— one that supports economic vitality, honors our history, and empowers the next generation of Santa Ana's business <br />community. <br />appreciate your time and the work you do. I look forward to seeing you at tomorrow's meeting. <br />Rcspectfu l ly, <br />Jenna Zech <br />SINCE J919 <br />PACIFIC <br />OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA <br />Jenna Zech <br />Pacific Plumbing gf.5'owbern C'alifbrnia <br />P 714-547-6967 x210 <br />E lcnnaz(a,_ppsocal.com <br />W www.pacificplumbinasocal.com <br />
