Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Dear Planning Commission, <br /> <br />I am writing as a resident of the Transit Zoning Code area to strongly urge <br />you to support the amendments to the TZC, with one change - storage units <br />are industrial uses and do not belong in a transit zone. <br />The health and safety of our community, especially our children and <br />families, should remain a top priority. As found in the research from UCI, <br />industrial zone proximity is associated with increased pediatric asthma.* <br />Metal recyclers and waste dumps have no place 200 feet away from an <br />elementary school, and a crematorium has no place around the corner from <br />homes and a neighborhood park. These types of industries bring noise, air <br />pollution, and health risks that are incompatible with the residential and <br />transit-oriented development we are working to build. The City Council has <br />twice agreed unanimously that industrial uses in this zone have placed an <br />inequitable environmental and health burden on those of us in the Logan <br />and Lacy neighborhoods. The General Plan adopted by the City Council in <br />2022 compels you to address these inequities by approving the proposed <br />amendments. <br />Please do not allow outside business interests to override the concerns of <br />the thousands of residents who live here and deal with these health and <br />safety concerns everyday. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ryan P. Madden <br />Resident of Santa Ana <br />   <br />Planning Commission 1 – 216 3/6/2025 <br />
