Hector’s Mariscos is right next door to Kennedy elementary <br />school and adjacent to densely populated neighborhoods. This area is challenged with continuous loitering, <br />vandalism, violence that has included stabbings and shootings, drunk drivers, and graffiti. Permitting the sale of all <br />types of liquor will increase alcohol consumption and exacerbate our safety and public health crisis in our already <br />taxed environment for our residents and the SA Police Department. <br /> <br />SAHNA also opposes any possible requests to expand and approve the current hours of operation that are <br />permitted by the City. The current hours permitted are appropriate for a family restaurant. <br /> <br />Most Sincerely, <br /> <br />Susana Sandoval, Co-chair Santa Ana Healthy Neighborhoods Alliance <br />Santa Ana Resident 35 years <br />Community Volunteer at Lathrop School <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />
