Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br /> <br />Dear City of Santa Ana Planning Commission, <br />I am writing as a resident of the Transit Zoning Code area to <br />strongly urge you to approve the amendments to the TZC. The <br />health and safety of our community, especially our children and <br />families, should remain a top priority, and the industrial uses in the <br />zone are eroding the quality of life for us residents. Almost daily <br />when we go out for walks we see metal scraps left behind by <br />patrons of Bruce Metal. <br />Metal recyclers and waste dumps have no place 200 feet away <br />from an elementary school, and a crematorium has no place <br />around the corner from homes and a neighborhood park. These <br />types of industries bring noise, air pollution, and health risks that <br />are incompatible with the residential and transit-oriented <br />development we are working to build. The City Council has twice <br />agreed unanimously that industrial uses in this zone have placed <br />an inequitable environmental and health burden on those of us in <br />the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. The General Plan adopted by <br />the City Council in 2022 compels you to address these inequities by <br />approving the proposed amendments. <br />Please do not allow outside business interests to override the <br />concerns of the approximately 10,000 residents who live here and <br />deal with these health and safety concerns everyday.   <br />Planning Commission 1 – 161 3/6/2025 <br />
