Box 1988, M31 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br /> <br />Sent via email: sbernal@santa-ana.org <br /> <br />RE: First American project -Toll Brothers project <br />Dear Chairman McLoughlin and Members of the Santa Ana Planning Commission: <br />I am writing to you as the President of Downtown Neighborhood Association, a Downtown Inc <br />Board Member and a 20 year resident of Downtown Santa Ana. I have been involved in <br />working with the Toll Brothers Multi-family team in the development of this exciting project. <br />This project implements the vision of the City’s Transit Zoning Code and will provide the <br />catalyst to the downtown area that we have supported since the zoning was adopted. <br />I am excited to see the proposed project and how it will connect the downtown. Right now this <br />area is disconnected by a fortress, that in my opinion has become an eyesore. The significant <br />dollars that the City of Santa Ana has spent in public improvements in downtown will begin to <br />come together with this project: the streetcar, the pedestrian and bicycle improvements, the <br />public parking structures all justify approving the project as proposed. I am thrilled that they <br />voluntarily incorporated a 5% or 11 units of this project to be affordable to low income families. <br />Something that many developers have not been willing to do. And I am also happy to see that <br />the project accommodates an on site place for their dogs. <br />I urge your support of this project without delay. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Tish Leon <br />DTNA President <br />714-401-8312
