Orozco, Norma <br />From: <br />Diane Fradkin < <br />Sent: <br />Tuesday, February 19, 2019 8:16 AM <br />To: <br />Pulido, Miguel <br />Cc: <br />Mitre -Ramirez, Norma; eComment <br />Subject: <br />Reasons to deny the proposed project at 2525 N. Main Street <br />Attachments: <br />Project Comparisons Not Adjacent to SFR.docx <br />Importance: High <br />Honorable Mayor Pulido: <br />You will hear many speakers tonight for and against the proposed project once again. <br />However, I would like to direct you to page 75E-23 of the "Request for Council Action" document under <br />Conclusion - Paragraph 2 ...... The Planning Commission recommended denial due the increase in traffic resulting <br />from the project, the massing and density of the project, the project's incompatibility with the surrounding <br />community, potential adverse effects of the project on the adjacent Park Santiago neighborhood, the lack of <br />community support for the development, potential long term impacts associated with the proposed <br />development, and concerns with the potential parking intrusion on the adjacent neighborhood." <br />These are many of the reasons why the proposed project should be denied by Council. However, one item I <br />would like to add is that this proposed project (6 story building surrounding an 8 story parking structure) is <br />unlike the other projects this applicant has developed in Santa Ana. <br />The main reason this one is different is that its the only project that shares property boundaries with single <br />story, single family residential on 2 sides and is located adjacent to the western entrance of the <br />neighborhood. (Please see attached) <br />That is why there have been so many people speaking out in opposition unlike the other projects that were <br />approved using the Specific Development - high density multi -family zoning. <br />Please make the right decision for the City and its citizens by denying the proposed project on Feb 19th. <br />The project needs to be re -envisioned and redesigned so it can provide a win/win/win for the City, the <br />developer and the citizens of Santa Ana. <br />Thank you for your service to our City. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Diane Fradkin <br />Park Santiago <br /> <br />133 <br />
