<br />Flores, Dora <br />From:ED GUTIERREZ <talk2edg@gmail.com> <br />Sent:Tuesday, February <br />To:!City Clerk; Arias, Fernanda <br />Cc:Janet Brown; Mills, Susan <br />Subject:Limited Timeframe to Submit or Speak in Opposition – Appeal Application No. <br />2025-02 <br /> Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br /> <br />Dear City Clerk and Members of the City Council, <br /> <br />I am writing in advance of the February 3, 2026 public hearing on Appeal Application No. 2025-02 concerning <br />Conditional Use Permit No. 1982-18-MOD-1, to formally note and preserve concerns regarding the limited <br />timeframe available for submitting written opposition and providing oral testimony. <br /> <br />The notice for this appeal indicates that written comments must be submitted no later than 4:00 p.m. on the day <br />of the hearing and that oral testimony will be taken subject to time constraints established by the Council. Given <br />the complexity of the project, the volume of issues raised, and the significance of the appeal—including land <br />use compatibility, operational impacts on an R-1 residential neighborhood, and CEQA exemption <br />determinations—the available time to submit or present opposition is materially limited. <br /> <br />This correspondence is submitted to ensure the administrative record reflects that any inability to fully present <br />evidence, play audio exhibits, or articulate the legal and factual basis for opposition during the hearing is a <br />function of procedural time constraints, and not a waiver of issues, objections, or arguments related to the <br />proposed CUP modification or the City’s reliance on a categorical exemption under CEQA. <br /> <br />I respectfully request that this email be included in the official administrative record for the appeal and <br />considered in conjunction with any oral or written testimony submitted before or during the hearing. This <br />submission is intended to preserve all objections and positions raised or intended to be raised in opposition to <br />the CUP, whether or not sufficient time is ultimately afforded during the public hearing itself. <br /> <br />Thank you for your attention and for including this correspondence as part of the record. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Edward Gutierrez <br /> <br />Inviato dal mio iPhone <br />1 <br /> <br />
