Box 5881, Orange, CA 92863 <br /> phone (714) 289-1092 • www.octax.org <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />April 25, 2019 <br /> <br />Mr. Mark McLoughlin <br />Chairman <br />Planning Commission <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. McLoughlin: <br /> <br />The Orange County Taxpayers Association recognizes that a thriving business community is <br />essential to providing municipalities with the tax revenue necessary to provide essential public safety <br />services and infrastructure repairs and improvements. <br /> <br />To that end, it is heartening to see that the new owners of MainPlace Mall, Centennial Real Estat e, <br />have chosen to invest in Santa Ana and Orange County. It is clear that this type of investment must <br />be encouraged so Santa Ana is able to balance its budget. <br /> <br />Santa Ana’s spending strategy should not rest on the backs of the residents. Since the City already <br />chose to support an increase of its sales tax, it should facilitate the process for businesses who wish <br />to create economic revenue in the City. <br /> <br />Therefore, I encourage you to support the application of Centennial Real Estate as proposed in its <br />application. This will allow for the economic growth the city needs and will be paid for by the patrons <br />who choose to visit the revitalized mall. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Carolyn Cavecche <br />President and CEO <br />Orange County Taxpayers Association
