Lopez, Kenia <br />From: Santa Ana Needs Equity SANE < <br />Sent: Monday, October 14, 2019 6:36 PM <br />To: eComment <br />Subject: Yatziri Sangado Opposes Item 75A <br />Dear Mayor Pulido and Members of the City Council, <br />I ran a community member in the City of Santa Ana, and I am writing you in opposition to Item 75A, the Russell Fischer Car Wash Project (CUP No. <br />2019-30, Variance Amendment No. 2018-10, CUP No. 2019-31, and CEQA Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No, 2019-69). 1 urge you <br />to reject the Planning Commission's recommendation to approve this car wash project, deny the applicable permits, and require compliance with <br />CEQA. <br />The proposed car wash at 301 N, Tustin Avenue would negatively impact our community. We deserve to be more than the Car Wash Capital of <br />Orange County. While other cities protect the integrity of their neighborhoods and work to attract businesses that provide good jobs and contribute to <br />the General Fund, the City of Santa Ana's approval of a CUP and variance to allow yet another car wash — the 23rd in the city — is an affront to our <br />community. Why was this car wash allowed an exemption from the General Plan when regular residents find it so difficult to deal with the city on <br />similar issues? Why was no attempt made to ensure that, if a car wash comes in, it meets strict labor standards given car washes' known history of <br />exploiting its often immigrant and vulnerable employees? Why was a more comprehensive traffic safety study not undertaken and a more adequate <br />noise study not required? Why was this massive car wash approved without first completing environmental review required by CEQA? <br />These are questions that have yet to be answered and demand further examination. When this item comes before you, please consider the opinions of <br />your constituents and vote to reject it. Thank you for your time and attention. <br />Sincerely, <br />Yatziri Sangado <br /> <br />stand with SANEand demand that the Santa Ana City Council restore <br />nnity to our planning process and roject the new car wash an 301 N. Tustin Avenue — Iecaose we <br />usarve Inner than to be the Car Wash Conlin] of Ctrango Cavntyl <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Em <br />16 <br />
