Land Use Consistency: The project site is currently zoned as Professional and Office (PAO). The <br />proposed project is not consistent with the current zoning. This is highly significant. The proposed <br />change in zoning should be rejected by the City, as zoning should not change to accommodate what <br />a developer wishes to build. The existing PAO zoning provides an opportunity for residents to secure <br />professional jobs with salaries that allow residents to afford housing in Santa Ana and adjacent <br />Referring to Section 4.7, Land Use Planning, Table 4.7-1 SCAG RTP, last row. The proposed project is <br />not consistent with protecting stable existing single family areas. The proposed project puts a density <br />of 84 dwelling units per acre (DUA)adjacent to the single family Park Santiago neighborhood with a <br />density of 7 DUA. The increase of 12 times the density is not consistent with protecting the Park <br />Santiago neighborhood. Can this project really be considered an improvement to'the quality of life? <br />Of course not! <br />Noise and Air Quality <br />The community would be affected by the additional noise from all of the traffic listed above. Car alarms <br />going off at all hours. Delivery trucks, UPS etc. <br />The community would be affected by the gas emissions from all the vehicles traveling into the area. <br />The use of BWs would affect the home owners that are backed up to the proposed project. Just <br />imagine what it would be like to have all of those smells migrating into your backyard. It would not be <br />like your typical weekday/weekend with one or two of your neighbors using a BBQ. <br />Water & Sewe <br />Do we have enough water available in Santa Ana to accommodate this project? <br />We are already ona schedule to lower our usage. <br />Will this project affect the overall rates? <br />What about the new plans for the Mainpiace Mall transformation and also for the 2700 Main Street <br />project? How much water will be needed for all of the residents, stores, restaurants etc.? <br />We are very concerned for our whole community. <br />We feel our elected officials and city planners have a moral and civic responsibility to make our city <br />better, not continue to approve developments knowing it will make quality of life decline for the current <br />residents in Park Santiago and surrounding communities. They need to continue to protect our stable, <br />existing single-family community. <br />The proposed project has no net benefit on our neighborhoods, and does not enhance quality of life of <br />current residents of Park Santiago and our adjacent neighborhoods. <br />Sincerely, <br />
