2. This project is not compatible with the adjacent existing single-family dwellings. <br />• A density for apartments of 84 D.U. per acre is not compatible with single-family <br />homes of 7 D.U. per acre. <br />• An 8 -story parking structure, with 3, 4 and 5 story apartment units are not <br />compatible with 2 stories and 1 story single-family homes. <br />3. There are approximately 3,600 multi family units that are built, being built and/or <br />proposed within a one -and -a -half -mile radius of this proposed project. Existing multi- <br />family units, as close as Town and County Rd., still have a high vacancy rate. There is no <br />need for additional multi -family rental units. <br />4. Consider an alternative, which may be more acceptable to the Park Santiago residents <br />and provide much needed low-cost housing and home ownership in the City of Santa <br />Ana. <br />• Alternative: 200 -unit condominium, 34 D.U. per acre <br />o Develop a 200 -unit condominium project with amenities, clubhouse, <br />pool, gym, children's playground etc. <br />o30/ea. 1 -bedroom; 110/ea. 2 -bedroom; 60/ea. 3 -bedroom. <br />o Build 1 & 2 story buildings, with most units above garages. <br />o Provide additional carports and parking as necessary. <br />• This alternate project would reduce traffic congestion and visual impact. <br />As a City Councilmember; you have been elected to serve the needs and desires of the <br />residents of the City of Santa Ana. Considering the negative impact of this project, please do <br />not approve; as it is neither beneficial for the City nor the City's residents. <br />Thank you for your consideration in reviewing our comments. <br />Regards, <br />Gil Wilksen <br />Terry Wilksen <br />
