I would <br />like to hear from you on any past or future support from the developer - either in contributions to your campaign <br />or other promises of support. This would assure me that you have the best interests of your Ward <br />residents/voters in mind. And that you take the careful decisions of your Planning Commissioner to heart. <br />You stated that you make your own decisions based on traffic and economics. Well if that is the case, you have <br />to agree that the EIR traffic report is flawed and even the traffic engineer could not explain it. Traffic from an <br />office/professional building will be in the opposite direction than a residential apartment with everyone going in <br />the same direction as the current residents. And a recent study of traffic with millennials have proven that <br />traffic is worse than before with additional lift & uber & delivery vehicles. <br />And as far as economics, there are over 3000 new luxury apartments being built or already built within 1/2 mile <br />of 2525 Main. The current vacancies are many with even lower rent than proposed by 2525 Main. One of two <br />things will happen - either the rents will be lowered to increase occupancy or more realistically, more people <br />will move into one apartment which will reduce their share of the rental price and increase the proposed amount <br />of cars. Either way, this is a bad economic decision for Santa Ana. <br />Please vote to not rezone & take away prime office/professional space for all of the new apartment dwellers <br />near 2525 Main. Those residents will need a place to work. Right now 70% of Santa Ana residents work outside <br />of the city. Let's give them a place to work so they can live and work in Santa Ana. Then they will most likely <br />shop in Santa Ana instead of near their work outside of the city. <br />Thank you for listening. I do not want to feel that I made a horrible mistake moving to Santa Ana from Irvine. I <br />have to say that my neighbors have been extremely nice and welcoming here. <br />Carol Slaton <br />Park Santiago Resident <br />4628 <br />
