<br />Alcala, Abigail <br />From:Nathaniel Greensides <mynci90@gmail.com> <br />Sent:Tuesday, October 17, <br />To:eComment <br />Subject:item 23 <br />I wish to express opposition to the project. While I am generally pro construction of housing and always in <br />favor of affordable housing, the project simply will not provide enough affordable housing to long term Santa <br />Ana residents who have lived for too long in overcrowded housing units. Additionally, it would be helpful for <br />city staff to include in these types of items' reports an explanation (for both council and the general public) to <br />understand why individual projects are or are not subject to the Affordable Housing Opportunity and Creation <br />Ordinance (f/k/a the HOO). In this instance, the project is not subject to the HOO (HOO applies to projects of <br />five units or more) because it does not meet one or more of the five criteria where the HOO applies. The state <br />density bonus can apply in this instance however - meaning the developer will be able to build more units (not a <br />bad thing in and of itself) so long as a portion of the units constructed become affordable housing units (in this <br />case only one out of sixteen units). Additionally, many affordable housing programs require US citizenship and <br />many undocumented Santa Ana families who live in overcrowded, over-priced rental units in Santa Ana (who <br />want to move into their own units) will never qualify for federally funded programs which require citizenship <br />for eligibility. <br />Sincerely, <br />Nathaniel Greensides <br />Ward 5 resident <br /> <br />1 <br />
