Flores, Dora From: Deborah Cottle <dcottle@ptwww.com> Sent: Monday, August 17, 2020 8:31 AM To: eComment Subject: Item 75B. PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT Dear Mayor and City Council, My name is Deborah Cottle, and I am in strong support of reducing the $15 per square foot Housing Opportunity Ordinance fee to $5 for ALL Projects - both proposed and entitled, and giving the entitled projects a year to be eligible for the reduced fee. Due to the pandemic, and the fact that not ONE development has pulled a permit under the current $15 dollar fee, now is the time to give all projects the staff proposed $5 option - especially projects that are so close to construction. Further, mandating any type of labor can have significant consequences on the cost and viability of a project. In no way am I opposed to skilled or union labor, but these decisions should be made by the applicant and not mandated as a blanket policy by the City. As a member of the Building Industry Association, I thank you for bringing this topic forward and considering the positive impacts reducing this regulation will have on my industry and the residents of Santa Ana. Thank you, Deborah M.
