Orozco, Norma <br />From: N. A. DePano < <br />Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2019 6:13 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: DENSITY BONUS AGREEMENT 2018--01 (LEGACY SQUARE PROJECT) <br />My name is Adiel DePano, Lead Pastor of Santa Ana United Methodist Church. I would like to thank Mayor <br />Pulido and the City Council members for how Santa Ana has been at the forefront of addressing the serious lack <br />of affordable housing in our fair city with the innovative ways you have brought more permanent supportive <br />housing online. <br />I am deeply grateful for your leadership in the countywide effort to bring more PSH (permanent supportive <br />housing) units online. <br />I write to urge the City Council to approve Density Bonus Agreement No. 2018-01 as recommended by the <br />City's Planning Commission involving our LEGACY SQUARE project—a mixed-use community featuring <br />affordable apartment homes (93 units) and flexible office/retail space adjacent to the future OC Streetcar station <br />on the corner of Santa Ana Boulevard and French Street. <br />Santa Ana United Methodist Church—a faith community made up of five language groups (Cambodian, <br />English, Tagalog -English, Spanish, and Tongan)—stand united behind our LEGACY SQUARE development <br />project, from the pastoral staff down to every member of our 330+ congregation. <br />By passing staff recommendation (Density Bonus Agreement No. 2018-01) concerning the project, Santa Ana <br />will continue to be a leader in our county, paving the way forward for us to increase the stock of affordable <br />housing units available for our low-income working families. <br />Thank you, again, for exercising visionary leadership in addressing the need for more, a lot more, affordable <br />housing in Santa Ana! <br />Rev.
