MAIN STREET <br />Dear Mayor Pulido and Council Members, <br />Orange County Business Council (OCBC) is the region's leading voice for business and <br />economic issues. OCBC firmly believes that a diverse housing market is critical to the <br />long-term success of Orange County, including a broad spectrum of rental, for -sale and <br />affordable choices. Therefore, OCBC urges you to approve The Addington apartment <br />project. <br />The project's proposed residential units will reduce the housing strain throughout Santa <br />Ana and support the local business community. In addition, the project team has created <br />a design that respects the surrounding neighborhood's privacy, parking, and traffic <br />concerns. Furthermore, the project will bring significant fiscal benefits and services that <br />will help the city as a whole. <br />When evaluating the necessity of housing projects, it is important to remember that <br />housing is where jobs go to sleep. In the absence of housing, many members of the <br />County's talented workforce will be forced to live and/or work in neighboring counties. <br />Projects like the Addington apartment are critical for sustaining and driving local economic <br />success. Orange County Business Council asks the Santa Ana City Council to <br />consider the economic prosperity of this development as well as its impact on the <br />local workforce and approve the proposed Addington apartment community. <br />Sincerely, <br />Alicia Berhow <br />Senior Vice President of Government Affairs <br />THE LEADING VOICE OF BUSINESS IN ORANGE COUNTY <br />
