Dear Honorable Members of the Santa Ana Planning Commission: I am writing on behalf the Sustainers Alliance For Environmental Responsibility (“SAFER”) concerning the Mitigated Negative Declaration (“MND”) for the Sunflower Legacy Apartments Project ( “Project”) in Santa Ana. After reviewing the MND, we conclude that it fails as an informational document and fails to rely on substantial evidence. Therefore, we request that the City of Santa Ana prepare an Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) for the Project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code section 21000, et seq. I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Project applicant proposes the development of 226 multi-family apartments on a 3.59-acre site located at 651 Sunflower Avenue. The property is developed with the Sound Church and would be demolished. The Project proposes 226 apartments in a five-story building. A six level parking structure, which includes one level of subterranean parking and five levels above ground, is proposed for the middle of the site along the northern project boundary with a five- story apartment building wrapped around the five level parking structure on three sides.
