These Plans, if kept intact, lead to a cohesive city. When Planning <br />Commission and City Council go off the Plan and approve changes not consistent with the Plan, cities end up with <br />neighborhoods like French Park. I drove through there last week after remembering that Mayor Pulido had commented <br />at a previous City Council meeting that it was regretful what had happened to French Park .... two and three story <br />apartment complexes built right next to single family houses. While they did not appear to be high density apartments, <br />they were still large buildings right next to single family homes. A neighborhood ruined because of poor planning and a <br />city allowing it to be built. <br />The property at 2525 Main is zoned for Professional & Admin., not high density residential development. Even with the <br />proposed reduced number of units it is still way over the highest current level of density per acre. While I am not <br />looking forward to the traffic and number of people the current under construction development at Town & Country will <br />bring to the area, the location is more appropriate for these developments. There are currently thousands of units <br />either under construction, proposed or approved within .5 miles of 2525 Main. There is no reasonable reason for <br />another complex of apartments. Jobs are needed in the area for current residents and potential residents of all these <br />new units being built. Every city in OC is building these same large high density residential units. Renters will look to <br />find housing near theirjobs, especially with these units available all over OC. Keep the current zoning that is consistent <br />with the current General Plan and bring jobs to the area. <br />Protect Park Santiago from becoming another French Park by voting NO on 2525 Main! Too big, too dense for this <br />property. <br />Thank you, <br />Susan Hyatt <br />Resident, Park Santiago <br />
