MAIN STREET PROJECT 08/27/2018 TIM JOHNSON X COMMENTS RECEIVED PRIOR TO DEADLINE OF 8/27/18, 3:00 P.M. My name is Dale Helvig and I have been a resident in Park Santiago for the past 27 years.    During this stretch I have seen many good changes in Santa Ana.  I have been here for the creation of  the Kidseum, the expansion of the Bowers museum, the widening of Main Street and the I‐5 freeway,  the improvements to Main Place and the creation of City Place.  I have seen the transformation of the  Bekins Van Lines depot into a wonderful science museum.  The city pitched a museum district that the  city and the rest of Orange County could look at as a destination site.  I am proud of these changes and I  often refer friends to visit these places.  Several projects are proposed or going up around the North Santa Ana area.  A six‐story, 135 room  Hampton Inn on Main Street next to the I‐5, which will include changes to 2 historical sites, the Melton  House and MacFarlane House; the 2700 N. Main Residential Development, a 247‐units just north of the  I‐5, the Park View at Town and County Manor, 174‐ units, and the Jeannette Lane Residential Project,  182‐units, which is almost completed.    The City of Orange has almost completed the Eleven 10 West Project, 260‐units, right near the Jeannette  Lane Project.  And there is a proposal for the 999 Town and Country project of 262‐units.  In total, this is  roughly 1000 multi‐family units or hotel rooms.  The most interesting fact is not one is next door to a  single‐family home, except the 2525 Main Residential Development.  This appears to be “spot zoning”.  A Sunshine meeting was held last week for the 2525 Main Residential Development, 517‐units.  The  almost 500 people in attendance at this meeting were opposed to the project.  The North Santa Ana  Neighborhood Alliance categorically opposes any rezoning and general plan amendment for the  2525 Main Residential Development to residential use, regardless of any future design changes  proposed.  We need to support the vision we had for current businesses and museums along Main St.  The city has  been doing good work over the past decades, so don’t go backwards.    City leaders are soliciting for businesses to come to Santa Ana.  Don’t allow a project to remove a great  work location.  It comes down to the value we place on residential areas versus the money the city  generates with high density living spaces.  The Santa Ana Strategic Plan vision that was adopted on  March 18, 2014 states: “The City’s vision sets the focus for the future”.  It goes on to mention things like,  safe and healthy community, neighborhood pride and quality government services.  The residents of Santa Ana have a lot of neighborhood pride and again, the North Santa Ana  Neighborhood Alliance opposes any rezoning and general plan amendment for the 2525 Main  Residential Development to residential use, regardless of any future design changes proposed.  From the Planning Context  Page 15:  NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS:    Santa Ana has a rich mosaic of neighborhoods, each distinguished by its history, architecture, housing types, and  amenities. More than 60 neighborhood associations have been formed to address neighborhood issues.  As is  common with many communities in Orange County, approximately 70 percent of all residential areas within the  City are single‐family residential neighborhoods. Many of these neighborhoods are established and well  maintained, and several neighborhoods contain state and local historic resources.  Page 16: The American dream is often intertwined with homeownership, which can provide financial  independence, economic stability, and personal safety. Home investment and pride in homeownership are  perceived to contribute to neighborhood quality and stability.  Page 25: HOUSING PRODUCTION NEEDS   [The Southern California Association of Governments] SCAG projects the job base within Santa Ana will decrease  by approximately 11,000 jobs through 2020, stabilizing the demand for housing in the City.  Housing Plan  Page 58,  Item 21:  Zoning Ordinance Update   The comprehensive update of the general plan will create a need to review the Zoning Ordinance for consistency  and for additional direction to implement the vision, goals, and policies of the general plan. To that end, the  Zoning Ordinance update will include a revision to development standards that will align the zoning ordinance  with the General Plan. To the extent determined, the effort will include provisions that address parking, height,  setbacks, and open space requirements to facilitate sustainable, quality housing and mitigate potential constraints  to housing. The City may also explore the feasibility…    Page A‐18: Overcrowding   Overcrowding is a critical issue for many communities. In recent years, considerable public concern has been  voiced regarding the level of overcrowding in Santa Ana and its impact on available parks and recreation services,  facilities for students, parking and traffic management, and overall condition of infrastructure and its ability to  support residents. In order to understand the issue, two working definitions for overcrowding are cited.  Planning & Building Agency (M-20), P.O.

    Tuesday, December 05, 2017  Mayor Pulido  City of Santa Ana  20 Civic Center Plaza, 8th Floor  Santa Ana CA 92702  Dear Mayor Pulido,  My name is Dale Helvig and since the City Council meeting held on Nov. 21st, I have  assumed the position of Chairman of the North Santa Ana Preservation Alliance.  We do  not oppose development, we do oppose any rezoning and general plan amendment for the  2525 Main Residential Development, regardless of any future design changes proposed.  The people that want to develop this property should be ashamed of themselves.  At the  Sunshine meeting they informed us of their short‐comings.  They purchase property at a  premium price, neglect it, then report crime has increased in our area and they are here to  help with a new development. How wrong they are. Their development represents  everything but help.  Five on this standing council signed off on the 2014‐2018 City of Santa Ana General Plan.   Amongst other items, this plan addresses in this order neighborhood characteristics,  housing production needs, zoning ordinance updates and overcrowding.  Regarding neighborhood characteristics:  It says, “The City has undertaken extensive efforts  to stabilize residential neighborhoods through appropriate land use direction and housing  programs.”  Rezoning property adjacent to residential zoning that would allow a 5‐story  building, with an 8‐story parking structure is not appropriate land use.   2 The plan goes on to say, “The American dream is often intertwined with homeownership,  which can provide financial independence, economic stability, and personal safety.  Home  investment and pride in homeownership are perceived to contribute to neighborhood  quality and stability.”  Well, I have recently seen homes go up for sale that abut to this  proposed development.  The 2525 Main Residential Development project is bad in so many  ways for the city and it is not needed.  No one wants to invest in a house where they  cannot feel safe to enjoy their lives in the privacy of their own homes and backyards.  It is  difficult to imagine how pride of ownership, neighborhood quality and stability can be  improved by adding rental units to an already projected nearby 1000 plus rental units.  The General Plan also states the Southern California Association of Governments [SCAG]  “projects the job base within Santa Ana will decrease by approximately 11,000 jobs  through 2020, stabilizing the demand for housing in the City.”  This city does not need this  development.   I understand the city needs to cover its budget shortfalls, but it should not  do so to the detriment of those who have already invested their hard‐earned money in  support of this city.    Last week I heard residents oppose the Tiny Tim Plaza for pretty much the same reasons  we have.  Santa Ana does not need housing…it needs high paying jobs.  The Alliance  opposes any rezoning and general plan amendment for the 2525 Main Residential  Development, regardless of any future design changes proposed.  Help the city and its  residents by creating long‐term job growth.  Sincerely,   Dale A. Helvig  cc:

I wish you and your staff a happy holiday season.  I am writing to keep you appraised of the 2525 Main Residential Development.   Since the  last council meeting the current legal owner of the property, Jeremy Ogulnick, AC 2525  Main St. LLC, for the 2525 Main Residential Development published their view of the  Sunshine Ordinance meeting held on November 15, 2017.  Unlike the applicant for the  Hampton Inn project, Net Development Co., who choose to use a court reporter to  document their meeting, Jeremy Ogulnick choose to comment on their version of the  meeting.  The applicant did not meet the requirements of the city’s Sunshine Ordinance NS‐2843.   Which in part states, “The applicant shall also provide to the City a copy of the minutes and  the written record of, and response to, the public comments made at the community  meeting. The public input will be made part of the public record and included as  attachments to Planning Commission staff reports.”  The applicant completed the meeting  and checked it off on their to‐do list.  While the applicant provided the city a report, they  omitted questions by community members, and some of the answers that were provided  were never mentioned at the community meeting.  It further failed to mention the over  2 400 community members in attendance that are opposed to this project.  The applicant  had a signup sheet, they know the numbers.    We feel the applicant should either 1) provide a copy of the minutes and the written record  of, and response to, the public comments made at Sunshine Ordinance Meeting held on  November 15, 2017 or 2) schedule a second Sunshine Ordinance Meeting to allow them to  accurately meet the city requirements  Please hold them accountable if/and when they come before you.  Sincerely,   Dale A. Helvig  cc:  Ward 1 Councilmember Vincente Sarmiento

Mayor Pulido and Santa Ana City Councilmembers  City of Santa Ana  20 Civic Center Plaza, 8th Floor  Santa Ana CA 92702    Subject: 2525 Main St. Development Review Process and Meeting Requests  Dear Mayor Pulido and Santa Ana City Councilmembers,  The North Santa Ana Preservation Alliance (NSAPA) remains concerned about the 2525 Main  Residential Development project that is working its way through the City’s planning process.   The developer continues to skirt the spirit of the Sunshine Ordinance by not providing its  November 15, 2017 presentation.  We have made many requests for a copy of this presentation  and continue to receive responses that either ignore the question by referring to a new and  updated presentation or, effectively, a “Why do you want it?” reply.  Sadly, we cannot obtain  the presentation from City Planning either, not because staff is being unhelpful but because,  although they too have requested it multiple times from the developer, the developer is not  providing it to them either.  We would like this presentation, as it was initially made, to  objectively track the proposal as it changes over time so that we accurately present that  information to Park Santiago and other adjoining and impacted neighborhoods in the City.   We hope, as our representatives, you can help in this effort by prevailing upon the developer to  enable your city residents to perform a thoughtful and thorough analysis of this proposal.  We also take strong issue with the developer’s account of what transpired during the Sunshine  Meeting itself.  It is completely inaccurate on many salient points (number of people attending,  traffic, feeling on scope of project) which would provide the City Council with a true  Page 2 of 2 understanding of the neighborhood’s concerns at that time, and would allow it to understand if  those concerns had been met over time.  I am concerned when the City Council maintains it can’t discuss or comment on the 2525 Main  Residential Development project until it is brought before the Council and yet hear Tiny Tim  development related councilmember comments during the 12/19/17 council meeting like,  “this project [Tiny Tim Plaza] has gone way too far” to stop it now.  How can a project already  have gone “way too far” when it is being brought up for the first time in Council chambers?  NSAPA does not want this to be the perspective of councilmembers when the 2525 Main  Residential Development project is brought before the Council.   I, along with a couple of fellow residents, would like to meet with each one of you to discuss  the 2525 Main Residential Development.  Please respond to the email requests that have  already been submitted, copies of which are attached.  Sincerely,   Dale A. Helvig  President, North Santa Ana Preservation Association (NSAPA) Attachments: Councilmember meeting requests cc:

20 Civic Center Plaza, 8th Floor  Santa Ana CA 92702    Subject: 2525 Main Residential Development   Dear Mayor Pulido and Santa Ana City Councilmembers,  I guess what really concerns me the most while I continue my research on the 2525 Main  Residential Development project is 1) the constant and consistent referral by the developer to the  infamous bus ride the city provided to a bunch of developers in July of 2015,  and 2) the  applicant’s reference to a Santa Ana Visioning Map, or the Envision Map, which by the way is a  draft document and includes a note stating, “This map represents a conceptual effort and its  contents are in a draft format and do not represent any formal efforts to rezone or redesignate  properties shown.”  So I ask myself why would a developer invest almost $17 million in a property  based on a bus ride and a draft document (http://www.ci.santa‐ana.ca.us/pba/planning/documents/QuiltMap_Dec_2016.pdf).   What has already been promised that would cause the developer to take such a risk?  Do you  know the answers to these questions?  We meet with the developer last Tuesday because they said, “We look forward to presenting a  comprehensive update of our plans at our meeting on January 30 and…”.  This meeting was  anything but that.  They came in with no change and a request for us to answer 5 questions about  the community.  This is not the open dialogue we expect from someone that wants to be a good  neighbor.  Again, why are they so confident and assume it’s a done deal?  Page 2 of 2 NSAPA is not in opposition to the development of the 2525 N. Main St property.  We are in  opposition to essentially being told this is going to occur on our doorstep and if we don’t talk to  them (the developer), they will make decisions in a vacuum.  I have reached out to the developer  again, to schedule a meeting in order to see the comprehensive update that was committed for  the January 30th meeting and open up a meaningful dialogue.  I hope this time they come  prepared.  We have met with 2 of the councilmembers and we look forward to meeting with the rest of you  soon.  I would also like to know if you are receiving these biweekly letters.  Sincerely,

20 Civic Center Plaza, 8th Floor  Santa Ana CA 92702    Subject: 2525 Main Residential Development   Dear Mayor Pulido and Santa Ana City Councilmembers,  I read that a city’s General Plan is considered its constitution for all land‐use decisions.  As such we  should not be willing to change the General Plan when a developer shows up and waves a  promises prosperity to the city if their project is approved.  We have a Housing Plan so let’s follow  it.  The Housing plan is to ensure we the maintain the vision, goals, policies, and programs of the  city.  The purpose for using specific development is for “protecting the health safety and general  welfare of the people of the city”.  I recently attended a meeting of the PSNA board and the developers.  And, I must say the

use of the land.  The size went from 517 units to 505 units.  This is a move in the right direction,  but a 2.3% drop is unacceptable.  This developer does not take us seriously.    The General Plan should be taken seriously by all of you.  Granting amendment changes and  rezoning should be and exception to the plan not a course of normal business.      Page 2 of 3 In our General Plan there are 2 tables, B‐6 and B‐7.  Both relate to parking ratios:  Table B‐6 of the General Plan says that for District Centers Mixed Use and found require 2.5  parking spot per unit.  At 505 units this comes to 1262 parking spots.  The developer’s proposal is  910 spots or a ratio of 1.8 per unit, and he thinks this is too high.  I obviously feel it is way too low.  Table B-6 Parking in Growth Areas to Address the RHNA Location of Housings Bedrooms Studio One

Mayor Pulido and Santa Ana City Councilmembers  City of Santa Ana  20 Civic Center Plaza, 8th Floor  Santa Ana CA 92702    Subject: Thanks! And 2525 Main Residential Development   Just a little twist to my bi‐weekly letter to you.   I would like to let you know how much we appreciate  the effort of the Santa Ana Police Department, especially that of Sgt. Blake and the mounted patrol.   As you know Santiago Park is a haven for drug users and homeless individuals.  Sgt. Blake has been  very helpful in the community in turning this around.  While the park is looking better the  neighborhood has seen an uptick in crime.  Just this past week there have been 2 home invasion  robberies at night while the residents were home and asleep.  Needless to say, several people are  quite upset.  This is despite having a Neighborhood Watch Program in effect and many people  participating on the NextDoor website who warn neighbors of suspicious activity while it is  happening.   Regarding the 2525 Main Residential Development.  I attended the Historical Resources Commission  (HRC)meeting last Thursday, April, 26, 2018.  This meeting had an agenda item to “Adopt a resolution  opposing the Magnolia at the Park residential development proposed at 2525 North Main Street.”   However, at the beginning of the meeting Legal Counsel recommended the pulling of this item and  chairperson agreed.  This resolution was discussed at length in the previous HRC and it was agreed at  that time Legal Counsel and planning would work together to provide the HRC with guidelines for the  proposed resolution.  To my knowledge this was done, and the resolution met these guidelines.   What stopped this resolution from being discussed was a communication from the applicant’s legal  team.   We would like to know on what legal grounds this was acceptable.    Page 2 of 3 Park Santiago represents over $600 million in assets to the city.  We should not be just pushed aside  because an applicant wants to add an unreasonable development to the city with promises of more  money.  We would like to see the land used in a responsible way and would like to work with the  applicant to make this happen.  The people of Santa Ana are speaking out loud and clear that we do not want, nor need the current  design proposed by Vineyard Development, Inc., which is a 5‐story 496‐units complex next to  single‐family homes and in an area that is already being saturated with this type of development.  We are still looking to meet with Councilmembers Juan Villegas and Sal Tinajero.  Sincerely,

The first Specific Development, SD‐1 was approved on April 29, 1976.  Over the past 42 years an  additional 91 Specific Developments have come before the City Council.  Of those only 17 have been  approved in which they had an adjacent property line with Residential Development; and of those  17 only 2 had a height restriction greater than 35 feet.  This being the SD‐21, OC Register Building on  Grand Avenue and the recently approved SD‐92, Tiny Tim Plaza on 5th Street, which is limited to  45 feet.  The applicant of 2525 Main Street Development is proposing to construct a five‐story building  apartment building wrapped around an eight‐story parking structure with a height in excess of  85 feet.  I encourage you to look at the attached list of which highlights these 17 SD/R1 projects.  You’ll quickly  see how far out of the norm the 2525 project is, and realize this project is not good for Santa Ana.  Sincerely,  Dale A Helvig  Chairman, North Santa Ana Preservation Association (NSAPA)

17 only 2 had a height restriction greater than 35 feet.  This being the SD‐21, OC Register Building on  Grand Avenue and the recently approved SD‐92, Tiny Tim Plaza on 5th Street, which is limited to  45 feet.  The applicant of 2525 Main Street Development is proposing to construct a five‐story building  apartment building wrapped around an eight‐story parking structure with a height in excess of  85 feet.  I encourage you to look at the attached list of which highlights these 17 SD/R1 projects.  You’ll quickly  see how far out of the norm the 2525 project is, and realize this project is not good for Santa Ana.  Sincerely,  Dale A Helvig  Chairman, North Santa Ana Preservation Association (NSAPA)

The 2525 project is wrong in so many ways that I find it hard to believe the City of Santa Ana is  entertaining such a proposal.  I find it ironic that Vineyard Development is saying office space is not  needed in north Santa Ana and the developer of the Main Place Mall Transformation Project has the  potential to adding 1,400,000 total square feet of commercial space, and up to 750,000 square feet of  office space.  On a recent trip to New York City I came across a sign that said, “Retrofitting an existing structure –  REDUCES energy use by eliminating the manufacturing and transportation of new materials” and  “Building a new structure – INCREASES energy use by manufacturing and transportation of new  materials”.   It’s a small point but it reflects the desire to preserve rather than tear down existing  structures.    In the coming months you will be asked to decide on the fate of the 2525 Main Residential  Development.  We realize money talks, and it has a loud voice.  However, NSAPA and the residents of  Santa Ana have a loud voice as well.  We encourage you to listen and wipe away the dollar signs that  are being placed before you.  Do what is right, this project is not good for Santa Ana.

the 2525 Main Street Development.  This prompted Mr. Solorio to seek clarification from the City  Attorney, which he received.  City council‐members should not take a formal stand on the project,  doing so would but then at risk of voting on the issue.  What I was asking for, and received, was the  City Attorney’s saying it was acceptable for councilmembers to ask questions and voice concerns.    I have heard councilmembers comment on the project, but only in favorable terms to the  developer…nice design, great amenities, good price point.  I have not heard comments reflecting any  concerns to the project.  If it is felt that concerns about the project must be reserved for a later, then  I request comments that present the project in a favorable light be reserved as well.

This is a wonderful single family neighborhood but the proposed development at 2525 Main St. will be a negative impact on our neighborhood. This project will require a change in the city code and I oppose this change. I believe there are other areas in Santa Ana that the city can build these apartments. I believe Main Place is considering major changes and will give apartments to the area. Thank you for considering the community your serve, Susan Westrom August 20, 2018 To: City of Santa Ana Planning Commission cc: Mayor Miguel Pulido, and Council Members Subject: 2525 Main Residential Development  Dear Commissioners Verino, McLoughlin, Alderete, Nguyen, Reyna, Contreras-Leo, and Mendoza, I am writing to say that as a voting and tax-paying resident of Santa Ana, I am opposed to the proposed 2525 Main Residential Development. The current professional building at 2525 N. Main Street serves as an important transitional buffer between the established neighborhood of Park Santiago and Main Street.  Not only is this transitional buffer important for the neighborhood and traffic patterns, but the professional job opportunities it provides are important for the well-being of the entire city.  We want good paying office job locations to stay in Santa Ana for our existing Santa Ana residents. In support of The North Santa Ana Preservation Alliance (NSAPA), I oppose any rezoning and General Plan amendment for the 2525 Main Residential Development, regardless of any future design changes proposed. No Rezoning No General Plan Amendment No Apartments I insist that the zoning at 2525 N. Main St. remain professional as it has long been, and I intend to persist in making this known to the city council and planning departments. Should this issue be presented to the Santa Ana City Council, I will be there. I am one of many concerned residents that will be tracking how you vote on this very important issue. City Council members not only represent the city, but they also represent their constituents. I put my faith in you to do what is right, and any rezoning or general amendment change on the 2525 Main Residential Development is not for the common good of the city or the Park Santiago Neighborhood.

From: ray sanders [mailto:raysanders10@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2018 1:11 PM To: eComment <eComment@santa-ana.org> Subject: planning commission Aug 27 Good day, Regarding the proposed 496 unit apartment project @ 2525 N. Main Street, I think it is a very bad idea to continue to increase population density by such leaps and bounds in a City which has an infrastructure that cannot adequately support the population that we currently have. An example being the police department not being able to respond at 4:00AM. There has been the regular completion of high density housing projects in North Santa Ana and then where have the "park in lieu funds" been going? Adjacent Santiago park is now a ground squirrel and flea infested squalor that we don't even feel safe to take a walk through. I have lived on North French Street on a off for 37 years. My parents are both passed away and we currently live in the family house. Prior to that, my uncle owned. I have been around here almost 40 years. Things change. Yes, we need to embrace change but not with our eyes closed. Even with Main Street at its current number of lanes can in no way handle an additional influx of another 1,000 residents given the limited access there is available from Edgewood. Bad idea. No apartments on 2525 Main. Too bad Discovery Cube didn't acquire property and use for administration and parking. -- Raymond Sanders 714.356.5994 From:Mitre-Ramirez, Norma To:Bernal, Sarah; Magalona, Jocelyn; Barela, Rosa Cc:Huizar, Maria; Orozco, Norma; Rojano, Michael; Garcia, Stephanie Subject:FW: Planning Commission Date:Monday, August 27, 2018 1:55:34 PM Attachments:image001.png The following communication pertaining to an item on tonight’s Planning Commission meeting, has been received for your review and consideration.

From: FLOR Barajas-Tena [mailto:fbtena@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, August 27, 2018 1:18 PM To: eComment <eComment@santa-ana.org> Subject: Planning Commission I am writing this e-mail to oppose the 2525 N.Main Street Development Project (magnolia park) and I support a No-Build approach. I am a homeowner of 2015 Valencia Street 92706. We moved to Park Santiago because it was a walkable family friendly neighborhood. 2525 Main Street negatively impacts this. The project would impact me as a resident and my Santiago Park neighborhood negatively and would not bring any additional community benefits to my neighborhood. There is already pass-through traffic down north valencia street and people are going speeds upwards of 35 miles per hour near a school zone and in a neighborhood that has a lot of speeding issues. This project proposes to add an additional population which would only increase this pass through traffic. We need speed humps now, but these speed humps would not deter all of the traffic going down my street. Main street cannot support additional cars. It takes me 20 minutes to get my kids to school at 7:30 am. There is no additional infrastructure added to support all of these additional housing units and Main street would become a parking lot. This project would have negative issues on parking. Transportation planners spend a lot of time thinking about how expensive parking is and so Santiago Park would become a parking lot. Santiago Park should have permit parking now. Discovery Cube visitors park along edgewood because they do not want to pay the parking fee. Adding an entire population would increase the parking issues we have. You need to close down edgewood and make it a one way street as to avoid that issue because it affects my neighborhood now. These are all quality of life issues and the built environment affects people's quality of life and 2525 n Main Street would negatively impact the built environment, air quality, noise pollution and traffic . Santa Ana needs quality parks with usable facilities. My middle class property taxes support the schools in my area and the roads. I have choice to live in Santa Ana, but I also have the option to leave. The construction of this development would make me strongly consider leaving this neighborhood.

Main Dear Planning Commission, Councilmembers, and Mayor…I am writing you this email to express my thoughts on the 2525 N. Main development. I am unable to attend the Planning Commission's meeting on August 27th but I am hopeful that you will have an opportunity to read this email prior to making and decisions. I also hope that you closely consider the thoughts, needs, and desires of the surrounding community, Draft EIR, the Planning Department Staff, and the Developer as well as the needs of the City of Santa Ana as whole. I am a resident of Santa Ana and have no affiliation to the developer other than I have discussed this project at length with him so that I fully understand it and he hears my thoughts on it. I initially sent him a scathing list of things that were wrong with his project after the Sunshine Ordinance Meeting. To my surprise, he spoke to me and took some of my thoughts into consideration…not all, but some. Some were not remotely reasonable while others still should maybe even be considered now. There is a fair amount of public opposition to this project, however do not believe that those who are most vocal speak for everyone. I for one was previously very opposed to this project. However, the more that I learn about it and also the needs of our city, the more I become in favor it. I am not alone in this thought process. Even though the most vocal crowd will be opposed, rest assured that there are a fair number of residents in the area who are in favor of this type of development for a variety of reasons. There are some that are even afraid to speak up because they do not want to be viewed as not being neighborly or they once opposed it and now are neutral or even in support of it when weighing the alternatives. The North Santa Ana Preservation Alliance (NSAPA) does not speak for everyone in our end of town. There are a lot of folks who even despite being opposed to the project on their survey are now saying, "Let's make this project the best we can for our community." I would like to address what I believe to be the main opposition: The Developer Is Not Listening to Us! You will likely hear folks say that the Developer is not listening to NSAPA. This is simply not true. Yes, it is still a residential development, which they are opposed to, however the Developer has made significant changes to the project based upon community feedback during council meetings, neighborhood meetings, direct discussions, etc… Some of these changes may be considered minor while others are quite extensive and likely changed the economics of the project for the Developer. For example: · There is no longer an egress on Edgewood which will significantly reduce cut through traffic. This looks to have been in response to the community concern about cut through traffic in PS. Now for a resident of 2525 to leave through PS, it will be very difficult requiring at least one U-Turn and a left turn and the traffic lights associated with such. · They increased the set back against the back wall. This is not required by code by the way. This was in response to the community being concerned about the project being too close to residential back yards. · They are doing a "stair step" on the levels in the back of the project- from 3 to 4 to 5 stories. Again, this appears to have been in response to the community being concerned about the project looking into their backyards. · They changed the look of the project. This was in response to folks not liking the original concept drawings. They also offered to meet with NSAPA members if the current look of the project was not acceptable. It is my belief that this type of meeting did not take place. · They reduced the density. The focus should be on the number of bedrooms, not units. They significantly dropped the number of bedrooms which is how density is often measured. · They have increased the parking ratio above industry norms and increased the ratio as they have decreased density. They have also removed general pedestrian access on Edgewood I believe. These are in direct response to concerns of overflow parking into PS (especially the no pedestrian access...no one is going to want to pay these rent rates and half to walk a fair distance to their apartment). · They are providing security patrol for PS neighborhood. This appears to have been in response to concerns about crime in the area. · They are trying to be a good neighbor by sharing. They are providing an Amazon Locker area for Park Santiago residents. They are also allowing Park Santiago residents to utilize the amenities of the project which is more than most neighbors do! Building Usage Unfortunately, I think that a lot of folks do not realize that the project site is currently zoned for a 3 story office project with 3 stories of parking (likely 4 with one sub-terranean). The reality of the situation is that the site should not remain underutilized. It will not remain a small footprint 2 story building with a massive amount of surface parking- that is not feasible nor should the city want it. I personally believe that a 3-story building, which likely will be around 387K square feet, can have even more of a detrimental effect when compared to the current alternative for 2525. I believe that most folks who are opposed to the development and using items such as traffic, parking, visual look, etc…as reasons to be opposed are comparing it to the existing state for that parcel which is a small underutilized (or even un-utilized) office space with a vast amount of parking. It is not good for the fiscal impact to the city. It is not good for the surrounding businesses and it very well may not be the best for the surrounding residents. The No Project/No Build alternative in the EIR, although an alternative, simply is not a realistic alternative and it will also deprive the city of some benefits. By not developing the property to its highest and best use, the city will lose out on valuable property taxes and development fees. The amount of money that this project could provide to the city will be substantial in both recurring property taxes and also one-time fees. Although the project cannot and should not be viewed in an economic bubble, the revenue side certainly has to be of high importance especially considering the fiscal crisis we are in at a time when the economy is supposedly doing relatively well. The amount of money that a developer would need to invest in rehabbing the current property simply is not a realistic use of their capital when compared to the annual cash flow potentially provided. A reasonable investor will strive to increase cash flow and the current building would not provide that return. The North end of Santa Ana is a great community. We desire strong businesses to be located here. We desire to have a nice grocery store like a Trader Joe's. If we desire those things, unfortunately, it can be said that additional high income residents will strengthen the case for a grocery store like a Trader Joe's to consider the area. I personally would not like it at that location simply because of the traffic generation but there certainly are other areas that could possibly support it. Key Comparisons- 2525 vs Current Zoning When comparing the current proposed housing development versus the existing zoning of a 3-story office building, it is important to consider the following: · Traffic- An office building of this size will produce more traffic than the 2525 proposal. If traffic is a concern of the opposition, then they should not be in favor of the current zoning but instead be in favor of something else. A 3-story office building as allowed under the current zoning simply has the potential to be much worse for our community traffic- wise as compared to a residential alternative. · Traffic Flow- An office building will not have just one entrance on Main. Instead, it will have its entrance on Edgewood as is currently provided for. They may be able to add a secondary entrance on Main, however since the entrance is already on Edgewood, a developer of the property as an office building can keep it there. This appears to be worse for the Park Santiago neighborhood and the resulting cut through traffic. Not to mention that those travelling North on I-5 will simply exit 17th Street and cut all the way through Park Santiago making a morning commute even worse with cut through traffic. · Parking- An office building of this size will likely provide enough parking for tenants and guests. However, this size of a building will also often have paid parking. This means that some guests and even some tenants may be tempted to save the parking fees and park in the residential area. Overflow parking is a concern of the neighbors but it should also be a concern under the existing allowed zoning. · Green Space- We all love green space. I believe that the current housing development proposal would provide for more overall green space. Now, it will not necessarily be public greenspace, but it will be good for the environment and since the Park Santiago residents may be able to use it, it may also be good for them in certain instances. · Low Income Housing Fees- We have a lot of concern about housing the homeless and otherwise our city's homeless problems in our area town. An office redevelopment will not provide the in-lieu of fees associated with a multi-family residential development. These fees, which likely will exceed $6M, will help our city with our affordable housing crisis. · Visual Appearance- 2525 will be situated next to a very charming and historic neighborhood and in close proximity to others. Looks are important to neighbors. The develop has expressed his availability to discuss the visual appearance of the project, however I do not believe that anyone from NSAPA took him up on this offer. Additionally, will a 3 story, 387 square foot office building provide all that much of a better visual experience as you enter Park Santiago? We also must consider that even though the setback against Spurgeon will now be 50 feet, they will likely have 3 stories at that setback line as opposed to the proposed 2-story building under the 2525 proposal. I would suggest that after approval, the developer work with a committee of some sort to help revise the looks of the building. · Availability of Housing- Yes, the prices of these apartments will be high. They may be the highest in Santa Ana. They are also in an area of town that has the highest single family residence values in the city. Our city is in need of housing. Our city is need of all types of housing. By having more supply of housing, even premium priced housing, we should see some relief of housing stock. Plus, it will help due to the low income housing fees paid by the developer to provide even more housing. · Population Density- Sure, an office building will not bring additional housing to Santa Ana on that site. We will hear folks say that Santa Ana is already so very densely populated. Well, our end of town is an outlier in Santa Ana. If we are to rely upon the density figures for Santa Ana as a whole, then we should be OK in allowing other Orange County cities to piggy back off of our homeless housing…we should not do either. If we cannot have additional housing in our part of town, how do we justify it in other parts of town that are much more densely populated? Whether we want to admit it or not, when our vacancy rates are as low as they are right now, which is essentially just vacant turn over time, we have a housing issue to deal with. The entire city has a housing issue to consider. Even the areas of town that are less densely populated should be considering how we can be part of the solution. We need to consider that if this project is stopped, which I don't think they should, that the next one may be worse for all parties (including the city due to residential development fees) and due to the current zoning on that property, we may be stuck with what we can get. We have an opportunity right now to be sure that any positive changes to the project that can be made, are considered. Residential Property Values There is a lot of concern about what a high density development will do for our property values. Sure, there may be a short term decrease as those who are so opposed to living next to apartments decide to sell their homes despite the residents of 2525 quite possibly paying more per month for their rent than our cost of ownership. However, I believe that the residents of 2525 will be the future home buyers of our houses when we are ready to move on. If they are willing to pay the prices proposed, they will soon be trying to buy a home- and hopefully in our great neighborhoods. Conclusion There are positives that can come about from this project if we keep an open mind when comparing it to the existing 3-story building zoning…less traffic, more city revenue, more low income housing availability through development fees, etc…. Yes, there are negatives such as a possible lack of fit with the Park Santiago neighborhood and also a change from the current status quo of a vacant building and these need to be weighed and considered when viewing this project. Please consider all voices and not just those that speak the loudest or in the most numbers, but also consider the entire city. As a resident of North Santa Ana, I want the best not only for my current neighbors, but my fellow residents who live in a completely different part of town and also future neighbors who do not even know they will be moving into Santa Ana in the future. I trust you will also and as such, please consider all aspects of this project when determining the best course of action. Thank you for your service to the City of Santa Ana, its businesses, and residents.
