Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Dear City of Santa Ana Planning Commission, <br /> <br />My name is Ryan and I am writing as a homeowner (and landlord) in the Transit Zoning Code area to strongly <br />urge you to approve the amendments to the TZC. The health and safety of our community is a top priority for <br />me and my wife, and the industrial uses in the zone are incompatible with the quality of life we want. <br />Santa Ana is a great place to live and work, but litter and waste, chemical pollution on the streets, and air <br />pollution are key indicators that industrial neighbors are not being good stewards. <br /> <br />Metal recyclers and waste dumps have their place, just not 200 feet away from an elementary school and a <br />neighborhood park. These types of industries, though essential, need to be placed outside of the residential and <br />transit-oriented development zone we are working to build. The City Council has twice agreed unanimously that <br />industrial uses in this zone have placed an inequitable environmental and health burden on those of us in the <br />Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. The General Plan adopted by the City Council in 2022 compels you to address <br />these inequities by permanently banning industrial uses in the Transit Zoning Code. <br /> <br />Please do not allow outside business interests to override the concerns of the approximately 10,000 residents <br />who live here and deal with these health and safety concerns everyday. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Ryan Friesen <br />703 N. Poinsettia St. <br />Homeowner in Ward 6 <br />  <br />Planning Commission 1 – 155 3/6/2025 <br />
