Rebuttal to Developers View on Sunshine Meeting Sunshine Meeting Report ‐ Neighborhood Rebuttal‐Table View Page 4 of 14 2018‐11‐13 Land Use: COMMENT QUESTION REPORTED TO DEVELOPER DEVELOPER RESPONSE: NEIGHBORHOOD RESPONSE: 12. If the rezoning is going to happen, why are we even talking? The City of Santa Ana has a process for review of the application that includes an environmental review before Planning Commission and City Council hearings. The developer would not have acquired this site had City staff not identified it as an unlimited density and unlimited height residential site over 3 years ago. Nevertheless, the site is not re‐zoned, City staff, Planning Commission and City Council will take into account both the needs of the City and the existing community in coming to a determination if the site is ultimately rezoned. Please be mindful that Main Street and its businesses, which include the hospitals, retail and services, are supportive of more quality housing stock to its workforce. In addition, the project application will be following the process of City review including the CEQA environmental process before any decisions are made. Third time for this response as well. Our answer remains this property is zoned P (PROFESSIONAL), and it should stay that way. The fact the applicant paid an outrageous price based on an Envision map identified it as an unlimited density and unlimited height residential site over 3 years ago is not our concern. On the Envision map it clearly states: “Note: This map represents a conceptual effort and its contents are in a draft format and do not represent any formal efforts to rezone or redesignate properties shown. Dated November 16, 2015” 13. So it is a foregone conclusion that the re zone will happen? The City of Santa Ana has a process for review of the application that includes an environmental review before Planning Commission and City Council hearings.

In addition, the project application will be following the process of City review including the CEQA environmental process before any decisions are made. Fourth time with this response as well. 14. Why bring apartments to this neighborhood? Office vacancy in this sub‐market is approximately 20%, whereas multifamily vacancy is less than 3%. Clearly the need for housing in Santa Ana is extreme. . It is well known that Santa Ana is one of the most overcrowded/dense cities in terms of people to housing ratios (for every 1 housing unit, there are 4.5 people; whereas Irvine is 1 to 2.6 and Newport Beach is 1 to 2.2). The existing housing ratio in Santa Ana is detrimental, by creating a shortfall of housing results in over‐crowding and unaffordable housing options. Duplicate answer.
