NAIOP SoCal recommends that the City Council be inclusive and allow the MI and M2 overlays to continue to <br />exist alongside other Zones Established (see Section 41-2006 of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code) <br />within the plan area set by the Regulating Plan. The removal of the two existing industrial overlays would suggest <br />poor land use policy and create unnecessary problems between residents and industrial property owners and <br />operators where none exist today. In fact, during recent City Planning Commission hearings and stakeholder <br />engagement sessions regarding the Transit Zoning Code SD-84, several residents articulated their desire to find <br />common ground with neighboring industrial owners and operators by maintaining the M1 overlay zone, in addition <br />to redirecting the City's attention towards improved code enforcement relative to three "bad actors" in the Logan <br />and Lacy neighborhoods. NAIOP SoCal agrees with such residents' appeals to seek solutions that will not harm the <br />long-term viability of dozens of industrial property owners and operators in both affected neighborhoods. <br />NAIOP SoCal is committed to working with the Santa Ana City Council and staff to look for areas of commonality <br />in the Transit Zoning Code Specific Development No. 84, which would benefit the City, its residents and industrial <br />property owners and operators alike. <br />Sincerely, <br /><��r�k <br />Timothy Jemal <br />CEO <br />NAIOP SoCal <br />CC: Mayor Pro Tern, Thai Phan - tphan@santa-ana.org <br />Councilmember Benjamin Vazquez - bvazquez@santa-ana.org <br />Councilmember Jessie Lopez - jlopez@santa-ana.org <br />Councilmember Phil Bacerra - pbacerra@santa-ana.org <br />Councilmember Johnathan Hernandez - jryanhernandez@santa-ana.org <br />Councilmember David Penaloza - dpenaloza@santa-ana.org <br />City Manager Alvaro Nunez - ANunez@santa-ana.org <br />City Clerk - cityclerk@santa-ana.org <br />
