In addition, when completed, the OC Streetcar will have a platform stop at the SARTC. <br />The facility is open to the public seven days a week from 5 a.m. to midnight, and contains <br />approximately 35,000 square feet of total rental space, including ten bus bays, two surface parking <br />lots, and a parking structure. <br />The County of Orange conducted a site assessment and has expressed an interest to install a <br />ballot box at the SARTC. There are various modes of public transportation that converge at the <br />SARTC, along with adequate parking, which makes it an ideal location. By licensing space to the <br />County of Orange to install a ballot box, it provides an amenity to Santa Ana residents, patrons of <br />the SARTC, and serves the community. The ballot box would remain at the SARTC for the five- <br />year term and the County of Orange would be responsible for the installation and maintenance of <br />the ballot box. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #3 - Economic Development, Objective <br />#2 (Create new opportunities for business/job growth and encourage private development through <br />new General Plan and Zoning Ordinance policies), Strategy C (support business development and <br />job growth along transit corridors through the completion of critical transit plans/projects including: <br />25J-1 <br />
