We are eager to discuss these ideas with the City. <br />Because the RFP did not include this element, we ask that the City Council incl~~de consideration of <br />on- and off-site preservation and protection of historic properties as part of the Development <br />Agreement currently being prepared. We ask that the City establish a moratorium on demolitions in <br />the area during the planning phase. We ask that the City, perhaps through formaiion of an ad hoC <br />committee of the City Council, take the lead to work to explore preservation opt:~ons with the Society <br />and representatives of this coalition of interested groups, along with discussion of the other needs of <br />these organizations. <br />All of the groups we consulted with are in agreement that we do not want to sta~~ the Statlan District <br />rroject. Revltaliza6on of the area has been needed for a long time. Instead, our goo[ is to ensure that <br />the final project represents the best possible blend of the varying interests of thy. community. We <br />i5elieve the Council has the long term good of Santa Ana's citizens as their prin-:ary motivation, and will <br />¢upport this approach of consensus building to ensure that this project is of the highest quality and <br />benefit to the people of Santa Ana_ <br />'Thank you for your consideration of this matter and of efforts toward historic preservation in our city. <br />Sincerely, <br />Alison Young, President <br />SSanta Ana Historical Preservation Society <br />
