o We are hopeful that the quality of the community will change these <br />opinions and the neighbors will take the time to learn and better <br />understand about the community and City benefits. <br />6. Need to disclose previous mortuary use on site to people. <br />o Asa part of the environmental impact report, it will investigate all <br />former uses and of course the report will be made public. <br />7. Would you rezone a property next to your neighborhood? <br />o We believe in urban areas the future of housing is denser than in years <br />past The data is overwhelming that developing multi family in close <br />proximity to job centers will reduce traffic, reduce environmental <br />issues, and is less taxing on the infrastructure. <br />8. On this site you can put 40 single family/for sale homes and they will sell. <br />o The cost of urban infill sites such as this one (17mm) make it cost <br />prohibitive to develop single family. In addition, this is a major <br />thoroughfare with a mixture of uses and significantf-eeway noise, all <br />making for the site to be incompatible forsingle family residences. <br />9. Oppose apartments of any kind. <br />o It is our understanding the neighbor's impression of an apartment <br />project is not consistent with what we intend to develop. In the <br />upcoming weeks, we will launch a website detailing the quality of <br />construction and vast amenities. The project will resemble a fine resort; <br />notsome of the underwhelming projects from years ago. Keep in mind, <br />the folks that will occupy this community will make a minimum income <br />of$58,000 peryear, with an average income of$85,000 ayear. <br />10. Our neighborhood is a jewel, don't want your project it will damage our <br />neighborhood. <br />o It is our intention to leave the community better than we found it We <br />intend to post on our website all of the benefits the project will bring to <br />the City and the Community. <br />11. Rezone would take away our quality of life, some business use ok. <br />o Again, we are hopeful that the quality of the community will change <br />these opinions and the neighbors will take the time to learn and better <br />understand about the community and City benefits. <br />12. If the rezoning is going to happen, why are we even talking? <br />o The City of Santa Ana has a process for review of the application that <br />includes an environmental review before Planning Commission and City <br />Council hearings. The developer would not have acquired this site had <br />City staff not identified it as an unlimited density and unlimited height <br />residential site over 3 years ago. Nevertheless, the site is not re -zoned, <br />City staff, Planning Commission and City Council will take into account <br />both the needs of the City and the existing community in coming to a <br />determination if the site is ultimately rezoned. Please be mindful that <br />Main Street and its businesses, which include the hospitals, retail and <br />services, are supportive of more quality housing stock to its workforce. <br />In addition, the project application will be following the process of City <br />75E-224 <br />
