Flores, Dora <br />From: john hale < <br />Sent: Tuesday, April 1, 2025 1:36 PM <br />To: eComment; Penaloza, David; Amezcua, Valerie <br />Subject: Support for Item 22 <br />Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Dear <br />Mayor Amezcua and Members of the City Council, <br />am writing as a resident of the Transit Zoning Code to express my strong support for the proposed <br />amendments to the SD-84 zoning code, and specifically the removal of the M1 and M2 industrial use <br />overlay. These amendments are a long -overdue fix to the decades <br />of incompatible land uses in the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods. <br />appreciate that the proposed amendments will not force out any existing businesses currently <br />operating within the affected areas. Rather, they will create flexibility for business owners to sell their <br />business and for property owners to re -tenet their buildings <br />with a broad range of businesses. This will allow for responsible business owners to continue to <br />positively contribute to the neighborhood and prevent vacant buildings. <br />These <br />amendments also provide the city with an essential tool to address the bad actors who are negatively <br />affecting the quality of life in the neighborhood, such as the dump and metal recycling facilities next to <br />Garfield Elementary School. With these amendments, <br />we can better encourage responsible business ownership, ultimately improving the quality of life for <br />residents and business owners alike. <br />encourage the City Council to approve these amendments for the benefit of the 1,500 families in the <br />historic Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, and the city as a whole. <br />Sincerely, <br />John <br />Hale <br />Ward <br />6 <br />
