Main St - Live/Work Opportunity in Santa Ana <br />Honorable Mayor Pulido: <br />In the words of a former City Councilmember, 70% of Santa Ana residents work outside the City of Santa Ana. <br />Within a 1/4 mile of the proposed project there is approximately 4,000 units either existing, currently under <br />construction or in the entitlement process. <br />Given these above facts, the proposed site would be best suited to be developed as an office park or campus <br />like setting for perhaps medical, technology, research & development or government use. This property's <br />proximity to downtown along with easy freeway access would be ideal for most businesses. By way of City <br />incentives and recruitment, a good medium sized company could be relocated to this location and provide job <br />opportunities for Santa Ana. <br />Ideally, those working at the project site would have the opportunity to live in a newly constructed luxury <br />apartment building just around the corner or even perhaps purchase a single family residence in one of our <br />nearby historic Santa Ana neighborhoods. Imagine having a live/work relationship here and how purchasing <br />dollars would then stay in Santa Ana. <br />The development of an office park would also generate fees to the City and in fact, would put less strain on <br />City Services compared to a 6 story multi -family building with over 1,000 residents. Again, an office park <br />would be a symbiotic use adjacent to single family residential. <br />With this information, I continue to encourage you to deny the proposed project at 2525 N. Main St. as <br />currently proposed. There's a better use for this site that would be mutually beneficial to all parties <br />involved.... City, Citizens, Developer and Park Santiago Residents. Please vote NO on February 19th. <br />!z2 <br />
