Main (Public Hearing Item 75E) <br />Mayor Pulido, City Council Members, <br />I have been a resident of Park Santiago for 48 years. I oppose the Residential Development at 2525 N. Main <br />St. <br />The magnitude of this project density is outrageous. The Planning Dept. Executive Director stated at the Feb <br />5th meeting, per the EIR, the mass and scale of this project cannot be mitigated. the density of 84 units per acre <br />is over DOUBLE the next highest density residential development next to single family homes in Santa Ana <br />which is 38 units per acre. This development belongs next to commercial or retail areas, not single family <br />homes. I wish the traffic studies would have included all of the additional proposed developments in north SA <br />to adequately reflect the increase in traffic during peak periods. If even half of the 900+ cars projected at 2525 <br />were to be leaving out of the one exit on to Main St. during AM rush hour, it will be a substantial increase to <br />this already congested morning traffic on Main St between the 5 frwy south on-ramp and LaVeta St. Too many <br />people, too many cars... <br />In an article in the LA Times, it was noted that the rental market is slowing after years of rapid growth - <br />particularly high end rentals as there is a limited pool of people who can afford them. Two residential <br />complexes already completed in the area across from the mall both currently still have apartments <br />available.... With all the proposed No. SA/Orange residential developments in the queue, proposed, or starting <br />to be built, there will be considerable competition for tenants in this area's rental market. <br />I support no re -zoning of 2525 N. Main St. and feel the best use of this property would be, as currently <br />zoned, Professional and Administrative offices bringing more local jobs to this area. <br />Please support the residents of Park Santiago and VOTE NO on 2525 N. Main!!! <br />Susan Hyatt <br />Resident, Park Santiago <br />
