December 17, 2017 <br />Mayor and City Council <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />CONCERNING: Item 11A: ORDINANCE SECOND READING: APPROVING DEVELOPMENT <br />AGREEMENT NO. 2018-01 WITH AC 2525 MAIN, LLC AND AMENDMENT APPLICATION <br />NO. 2018-01 TO ESTABLISH SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT NO. 93 (SD-93) FOR 2525 NORTH <br />MAIN STREET <br />Mayor Pulido and City Council — <br />It would be unfortunate for the Council to move forward and approve the proposed 2525 N. Main Street <br />project. In recent years, there has been no other project so vehemently opposed than this project. I <br />have seen only a handful of items over the last 35 years that haven energized the community so much. <br />It remains a curiosity why the cogent, precise, and heartfelt wishes to prevent project are being <br />discounted or ignored. This high density project is unwanted and will not be a plus for Santa Ana. The <br />proposed actions represent a miscarriage of the public process if the long standing zoning of the <br />proposed site is approved. <br />I urge you to consider the idea of asking the voters to decide this matter given the community's deep <br />and broad interest in this precedent setting project. The City Manager and City Attorney can explain <br />how this mechanism would work. <br />It will be long remembered where you each stood in this conflict between developer greed and the <br />interests of Santa Ana residents. We will work tirelessly with others to remind voters from this day <br />forward until the first Tuesday of November 2020 about your respective positions. Please side with the <br />residents. <br />Thank you for your thoughtful consideration <br />Sincerely, <br />Rob Richardson <br />2336 Oakmont Avenue <br />Santa Ana, CA 92706 <br />
