PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT NO. 2020-03 TO <br />AMEND CHAPTER 41 (ZONING) RELATING TO THE HOUSING OPPORTUNITY <br />ORDINANCE AND ADOPT AN AMENDMENT TO THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FUNDS <br />POLICIES AND PROCEDURES - CITY OF SANTA ANA, APPLICANT <br />Dear Mayor and City Council, <br />My name is Angela Meyer, a resident of the City of Santa Ana and I am in strong support of reducing the $15 <br />per square foot Housing Opportunity Ordinance fee to $5 for ALL Projects - both proposed and entitled, and <br />giving the entitled projects a year to be eligible for the reduced fee. Due to the pandemic, and the fact that <br />not ONE development has pulled a permit under the current $15 dollar fee, now is the time to give all projects <br />the staff proposed $5 option - especially projects that are so close to construction. <br />Further, mandating any type of labor can have significant consequences on the cost and viability of a <br />project. In no way am I opposed to skilled or union labor, but these decisions should be made by the applicant <br />and not mandated as a blanket policy by the City. <br />As a resident of the City of Santa Ana, I thank you for bringing this topic forward and considering the positive <br />impacts reducing this regulation will have on my industry and the residents of Santa Ana. <br />Thank you , <br />Angela Meyer <br />1909 Poinsettia Street, Santa Ana <br />
