From: darcie cancino [ Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2019 8:06 AM To: City Council <CityCouncil@santa-ana.org> Cc: Pulido, Miguel <MPulido@santa-ana.org> Subject: City Council Meeting of February 5, Agenda Item 75E, Development of 2525 N. Main St. This letter is to voice my concern over what appears to be a deliberate misleading of the procedures to take place tonight regarding agenda item 75E, 'PUBLIC HEARING - FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NO. 2018-01, DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT NO. 2018-01, GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 2018-06 AND AMENDMENT APPLICATION NO. 2018-10 FOR THE PROPOSED MULTI -FAMILY DEVELOPMENT LOCATED AT 2525 NORTH MAIN STREET {STRATEGIC PLAN NO. 3, 2} - Planning and Building Agency - Planning Commission recommended denial of Development Agreement No. 2018-01, General Plan Amendment No. 2018-06, and Amendment Application No. 2018-10 on January 14, 2019 by a vote of 4-2 (Alderete and Benavides dissented; Cano abstained). Legal Notice published in the Orange County Register on January 25, 2019 and notices mailed on January 24, 2019. The recommended action is "that the City Council not open the public hearing and direct staff to reschedule and publish notice of public hearing to a date specific." North Santa Ana Preservation Alliance was told by Staff last week that a vote would not be held tonight and the item would be deferred to a later date; however, late yesterday we were told a vote may occur. This confusion has resulted in insufficient time for interested parties to make arrangements to attend this essential meeting and insufficient time to review the Staff Report to prepare comments. I ask that a vote NOT be held tonight. I remain staunchly opposed to this development, for reasons I have previously communicated orally at Planning Commission meetings, and in writing. Please do not sell out one of the finest neighborhoods in our city -to a big - money developer. As the Planning Commission rightfully concluded, this project is wrong for the parcel and will result in irreparable harm to Park Santiago and the City overall. Respectfully,
