4. There was continued concerns from residents on the short time frame' for public input. Staff response: "We heard.your concerns in many previous meetings." Note: To my personal knowledge there were only two neighborhood meetings (other than Com -Link) where GF was addressed — and staff could name only one such meeting. There were one or two Council sub -committee meetings at which GF was discussed. Further staff response: "We are willing to do that again" and "We will use Neighborhood Improvement to reach out to you." "If we have a need to get additional input we will take that time." Note: Staff did not make a commitment for additional public meetings concerning Granny Flats before it would go to Planning Commission and Council. 5. Further Staff response: "We heard what you said- you talked about how these units impacted your neighborhoods." "We are working with our City Attorney's office — we want to get it 'right." "We heard your direction in terms of regulating units so that they are safe and that they don't impact our neighborhoods." "And to be honest l am hoping that we have some open communication._ I'm hoping that we can really talk'about, this because we have limitations on what we can do as a community." 6. "Will there be further community meetings (on GFi." Staff response: "We will if we are requested to do so." Worth notin' again 1. In the previous 13 years the City has approved a total of 40 GF 2. The City has received 29 applications since Jan. V of this year Note: Staff did not make a commitment for additional public meetings concerning Granny Flats before it would to to Planning Commission and Council. Important note - The State "mandated" law has "wiggle room" built into.it— it can be adjusted to fit the needs of Santa Ana's neighborhoods - otherwise we would not be talking about it now.
