We appreciate the additional clarification provided <br />in your letter. Garden Grove remains concerned, however, that the Open Space (0) District <br />regulations that would now apply to the Willowick Golf Course (the "Property ") may not be <br />applied in a manner that permits the full range of commercial recreational uses that are currently <br />conditionally permitted on the Property, as previously represented to Garden Grove by Santa Ana <br />officials. This includes, without limitation, a theme park with enclosed components. <br />It is Garden Grove's understanding that the Santa Ana City Council does not intend to <br />inadvertently downzone Garden Grove's Property in this way through its adoption of the proposed <br />Ordinance. Although we continue to believe it would be mutually beneficial to clarify this point in <br />the Ordinance, Garden Grove appreciates the time and energy Santa Ana has put into the adoption <br />process for the Harbor Mixed Use Transit Corridor Specific Plan and does not wish to further <br />delay that process, Garden Grove further recognizes that any future change in land use on the <br />Property will require collaboration and cooperation between the Cities. <br />On behalf of Garden Grove, we would like to thank the City of Santa Aria's, Staff and City <br />Council for considering Garden Grove's concerns and interests, Garden Grove looks forward to <br />working collaboratively with Santa Ana in planning for the future use and development of the <br />Willowick Property. <br />$55 A14T01 1 OVLFVAR4, SUrrC 1200 r COSTA MESA, CA 92626.7670 s (714) S5S -7000 ■ FAX (714) 835.7787 <br />WWW.WSS- LAW.COM <br />1036263.1 <br />RECEIVE; NO. 0a 59 10 /07It %A%T 10411AM <br />
