Orozco, Norma <br />From: <br />Ryan Chase < <br />Sent: <br />Monday, June 17, 2019 11:37 PM <br />To: <br />eComment <br />Subject: <br />Fwd: Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 209-03 <br />Categories: Correspondence <br />Please distribute to Mayor and Council. <br />Thank you! <br />I am writing as a 4th generation and longtime business/property owner in downtown Santa Ana. The <br />Planning Commission recently approved Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 209-03, which provided <br />for amendments to certain development and design standards in the Transit Zoning Code Specific <br />Development SD-84. <br />Since SD-84 was adopted in 2010, no significant development has occurred in the downtown district <br />while our neighboring rival cities, especially Anaheim, have seen a development boon around their <br />inferior Downtown. This Amendment is what is needed to streamline the development requirements in <br />the downtown area which will allow developers to move forward with mixed use projects that the <br />Downtown needs to support the growing business district and compete with our neighbors. <br />It is my understanding the City Council will review this item at the July 2, 2019 hearing, and I hope <br />and strongly urge your support of this Amendment as it is needed to help encourage development <br />and in turn jobs, tax revenue and much needed investment in our great City. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Ryan Chase <br />S&A Management <br />9 <br />
