Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Dear City of Santa Ana Planning Commission, <br />I am writing as a resident of the Transit Zoning Code area to strongly urge you to approve the <br />amendments to the TZC. The health and safety of our community, especially our children and <br />families, should remain a top priority, and the industrial uses in the zone are eroding the quality of life <br />for us residents. I am a mother of two toddlers and we cannot walk by there to go to the park around <br />the neighborhood due to transient's hanging around all over our neighborhood and not feeling safe. <br />Due to all the drugs being done in plain sight. This metal dump is just causing more and more <br />problems to our community. <br /> <br />Metal recyclers and waste dumps have no place 200 feet away from an elementary school, and a <br />crematorium has no place around the corner from homes and a neighborhood park. These types of <br />industries bring noise, air pollution, and health risks that are incompatible with the residential and <br />transit-oriented development we are working to build. The City Council has twice agreed unanimously <br />that industrial uses in this zone have placed an inequitable environmental and health burden on those <br />of us in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. The General Plan adopted by the City Council in 2022 <br />compels you to address these inequities by approving the proposed amendments. <br />Please do not allow outside business interests to override the concerns of the approximately 10,000 <br />residents who live here and deal with these health and safety concerns everyday. <br />Sincerely, <br />Oddallis Osornio <br />Resident of Santa Ana <br />FYI: 10,000 resident estimate is based on press release from city (linked below) which states that the <br />TZC is approximately 450 acres (.7 square miles) and that “Lacy and Logan are more densely <br />populated than Santa Ana as a whole, with a combined population density of 15,531.7 persons per <br />square mile.” <br />https://www.santa-ana.org/city-of-santa-ana-moves-to-protect-oldest-neighborhoods-from-industrial- <br />pollution-under-historic-environmental-justice-initiative/ <br /> <br />  <br />Planning Commission 1 – 154 3/6/2025 <br />
