Main St - Bad Planning Practice -The revised project is Still High Density (58/DUAs) adjacent to Single <br />Family Residential (4.4/DUAs) <br />Importance: High <br />Mayor Pulido: <br />On November 19th, you have the opportunity to act upon your fiduciary responsibility as the Mayor of the City <br />of Santa Ana by rejecting the proposed high density protect of 58/DUAs and upholding the City's General Plan <br />designation. <br />It is your civic duty to see something developed that is more inline with the goals and policies of the City's <br />General Plan as well as a project that would be a benefit to the entire community. One such aspect would be <br />to encourage a use complementary to the Bower's Museum or Discovery Cube since this site is located within <br />the Museum District. <br />Another option which is supported by the Park Santiago neighborhood would be a Medium Density (MR 15) <br />project, demonstrating good planning principles as it is a more compatible use adjacent to Single Family <br />Residential of 4.4/DUAs. <br />I'm sure in your travels throughout Orange County, you've seen many of these 5 story high density buildings <br />going up ...... there's no shortage as they are everywhere! And given the fact that there are already 3,600 units <br />within 114 mile from this site that are built, under construction or approved, does Santa Ana really need <br />another 5 story high densitv building or could this be an opportunity to do something better for our <br />community?? <br />Planning Commissioner Cynthia Contreras-Leo's said it best in her closing comments on October 28th, ".....the <br />proposed project reminds me of the child's toy where you fit the shapes into the right shaped holes....) feel like <br />we are trying to force something that doesn't fin. " <br />Don't just settle for less because its easy...... demand the best for our City! Vote NO ..... we all can do better! <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Diane Fradkin <br />27 year resident of Santa Ana <br />
