<br />Orozco, Norma <br />From:Lisandro Orozco <orozcolisandro@outlook.com> <br />Sent:Monday, November 30, 2020 9:15 PM <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:Item 75C - 4th & Mortimer (City Council) <br />Hello Mayor and Members of the City Council, <br /> <br />I am in support of the housing project at Fourth and Mortimer. <br /> <br />My name is Lisandro Orozco, I am a homeowner in French Park. I am voicing my support for this housing <br />project due to the positive impact it will have on our Downtown. This is the type of project that was <br />envisioned with the approval of the Transit Zoning Code: a dense, mixed-use development along a transit <br />route. This project will also improve the connection between the busy 4th Street mixed-use corridor with the <br />dense residential neighborhood to the east (Lacy). <br /> <br />The existing Northgate building turns its back to Fourth Street with two large blank walls, a lack of pedestrian <br />connections, and a surface parking lot, something we should not have in the core of our Downtown. This new <br />project will do the opposite of what the existing conditions do and will improve the streetscape while adding <br />much needed housing to the core of Downtown. This market-rate project will also complement the hundreds <br />of affordable housing units the City has funded in the Lacy neighborhood over the last 15 years. <br /> <br />I hope you see the value of such a project and vote in support. <br /> <br />Thank you, <br />Lisandro <br />1 <br />
