Main Street ("Project") <br />Honorable Mayor Pulido and Members of the City Council: <br />Santa Ana Citizens for Responsible Development ("SACRD"), a coalition of interested <br />property owners in the City of Santa Ana ("City'), submits this comment for inclusion in <br />the record on Agenda Item No. 60A, set for hearing before the Santa Ana City Council <br />("Council") tonight, at this regular meeting on January 21, 2020. <br />By way of brief background, Agenda Item No. 60A presents Council with two <br />alternatives. First, Council may approve a second and final reading of Ordinance Nos. <br />NS-2979 and NS-2980 ("Option One"). If approved, Option One will adopt Development <br />Agreement No. 201E-01 ("DA-2018-01") with AC 2525 Main, LLC ("Applicant") and <br />Amendment Application No. 2018-10 ("AA-2018-10") to establish Specific Development <br />No. 93 ("SD-93") for the Magnolia at the Park Project or the "Addington," located at <br />2525 N. Main Street (the "Project"). Alternatively, Council may discuss and direct staff <br />to prepare an initiative measure for consideration at its next regular meeting, which will <br />submit the proposed legislative enactments to the City's voters in accordance with <br />California Elections Code section 9222 ("Option Two"). <br />SACRD respectfully requests that Council vote against Option One and do not approve <br />a second reading of Ordinance Nos. NS-2979 and NS-2980 because the final <br />environmental impact report ("FEIR") for the Project remains woefully inadequate. If <br />Council must take action on the Project, SACRD requests that it discuss and direct staff <br />to prepare an initiative subject to a vote, as outlined in Option Two. <br />4516.101 18600269.1 <br />Las Vegas I Newport Beach I Walnut Creek <br />newmeverdillion.com <br />
