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. <br /> <br />There are several businesses in the area that emit a foul odor, making it impossible to open our windows or <br />spend time outside without being overwhelmed by the smell. Walking my dog around the neighborhood is a <br />challenge due to the poor air quality, contaminated sidewalks, trash, and the constant presence of transients <br />using drug paraphernalia. It’s heartbreaking to see young children attending Garfield Elementary exposed to <br />these conditions every day. <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 />M.Rangel <br />Resident of Santa Ana <br />  <br />Planning Commission 1 – 159 3/6/2025 <br />
