<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Chairman McLoughlin <br />Santa Ana Planning Commission <br />City of Santa Ana <br />P.O. Box 1988, M31 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> <br />RE: Toll Brother’s Apartment Living project at 4th and Main <br /> <br /> <br />On behalf of our membership, I write to state our support for the Toll <br />Brothers Apartment Living project in downtown Santa Ana. <br /> <br />The Building Industry Association of Orange County (BIA/OC) is a non-profit <br />trade association of over 1,100 member companies employing over 100,000 <br />people affiliated with the home building industry. Our mission is to champion <br />housing as the foundation of vibrant and sustainable communities. <br /> <br />As such, we support this project because it will bring much needed housing <br />while simultaneously supporting and encouraging new business opportunity and <br />economic growth. Additionally, this project implements the vision described in <br />your General Plan and Transit Zoning Code. This project represents the <br />opportunity to bring further vitality through housing to your downtown corridor. <br />Further, considering the recent and significant investments/improvements to <br />downtown Santa Ana, this project serves as a natural complement, if not <br />capstone. With projects like the Santa Ana Streetcar, improved pedestrian and <br />bike access and the existing parking capacity of the area, this project ties <br />together multiple endeavors that will collaboratively enhance the regional <br />desirability of Downtown Santa Ana. <br />In light of the multiple factors discussed above, BIA/OC strongly requests your <br />support for the Toll Brother’s Project at the First American site. <br />Thank you for your thoughtful consideration <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> Steven C.
