Omar Dominguez <br />903 N. Euclid St. #C <br />Santa Ana, CA 92703 <br />June 19, 2020 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />20 Civic Center Plaza <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />To whom it may concern: <br />I am a homeowner and resident of the City of Santa Ana at the above address. I am writing to you today <br />to give my input regarding the proposed 7-11 project at the southeast corner of Hazard and Euclid in the <br />City of Santa Ana. I have supported this project since it was presented to the planning commission. I <br />attended those meetings and spoke in favor of the project. I also saw the project evolve as the <br />developer took input from both residents, like myself, and the planning commission. <br />I grew up in the neighborhood and I was able to experience the previous convenience store that was at <br />the proposed project site. Since its closure the area no longer has an accessible convenience store for us <br />to easily reach, let alone a 24 hour location. Locations like 7-11 take on a vital role for our <br />neighborhoods due to their ability to provide essentials like food, drinks, toiletries, women hygiene <br />products and much more. These items, that cannot be bought at other places late at night or on <br />holidays, would become accessible to residents in the area. <br />When the previous location was operating, I would make my stops there on my way home from school. <br />Even with traffic coming in and out of the location there was never any safety concerns. Thanks to the <br />traffic patterns I was able to safely cross the street and reach the convenience store after school. It also <br />served as safe location to be picked up from by my parents. I am now fortunate enough to live directly in <br />front of this location. <br />Since the departure of the family owned convenience store the property has been invaded by <br />transients. By approving this 7-11 project, you will bring positive activity and lighting to the area. The <br />planning commission even worked with the developer to plan the landscape to help deter graffiti and <br />transients loitering. From my understanding it seems residents from Garden Grove have come against <br />this project. Although it is neighborly to take the input of those nearby, they are still not residents of the <br />
