Araiza, Fatima From:Nathaniel Greensides <mynci90@gmail.com> Sent:Tuesday, April 30, 2024 To:eComment Cc:Hernandez, Johnathan Subject:May 7 City Council Meeting - Public Comment Agenda Item 13 Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. Dear City Council, Regarding the quarterly report, please see my comments below. The item was also on the CDC meeting agenda for April 30th. Tl;dr: I am happy to see that in-lieu fees collected are going towards programs which positively impact Santa Ana residents. It is great to see projects coming to fruition which provide wraparound services and resources to those who need it. I think it is still not enough if we are to completely resolve or ameliorate the matter of housing un-affordability. Our successes as a City should set the bar for surrounding cities; we can maintain our top spot as an example by going above and beyond what the state or federal government requires. We can make the world a better place and we can make our City even better if we work towards a vision where all who lack safe and affordable shelter can have one with as little barriers for such in the process.Sincerely, Nate Greensides Ward 5 Resident ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Nathaniel Greensides < Date: Tue, Apr 30, 2024 at 1:20 PM Subject: April 30 2024 CDC Public Comment - Item number 3 To: Zurita, Bianca <BZurita@santa-ana.org> Dear Commission members and City Staff, Thank you for the comprehensive and informative Quarterly Report for Housing Division Projects and Activities for the period of January 1, 2024 to March 31, 2024. One request I would like to make about Exhibit one of the item is on page 5 regarding the table of the density bonuses: would it be possible to add in a column of total units constructed (both affordable and market rate) so that the public can see how many new residential units in total are being constructed during the period? A point of input as an advocate of the RSO and JCEO: besides listing inquiries, it would be helpful for the general public to know the outcome of the inquiries fielded. For example, this could include the number of enforcement actions the Department has acted on whether it be forwarding inquiries to Code Enforcement or number of inquiries resulting in the inquirer being informed to seek independent legal counsel, the number of new residential units registered, number of tenant vs non-tenant inquiries. A point of input regarding the HOO information at the bottom of page 8: it would be helpful to see any numbers of upcoming affordable units to be constructed per the HOO in the same table alongside the numbers for the affordable units which now exist because of the ordinance. 1
