Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Dear City of Santa Ana Planning Commission, <br /> <br />I am writing as a resident of the Transit Zoning Code area to strongly urge you to approve the amendments to <br />the TZC, with one change - storage units are industrial uses and do not belong in a transit zone. <br /> <br />The health and safety of our community, especially our children and families, should remain a top priority. As <br />found in the research from UCI, industrial zone proximity is associated with increased pediatric asthma. This is <br />a vibrant area where people live, raise families, walk, and thrive, and we should ensure that we're not putting <br />our safety and health at risk. <br /> <br />Metal recyclers and waste dumps have no place 200 feet away from an elementary school, and a crematorium <br />has no place around the corner from homes and a neighborhood park. These types of industries bring noise, air <br />pollution, and health risks that are incompatible with the residential and transit-oriented development we are <br />working to build. The City Council has twice agreed unanimously that industrial uses in this zone have placed <br />an inequitable environmental and health burden on those of us in the Logan and Lacy neighborhoods. The <br />General Plan adopted by the City Council in 2022 compels you to address these inequities by approving the <br />proposed amendments. <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 />Nate Paladino, <br />Resident of Santa Ana <br />  <br />Planning Commission 1 – 191 3/6/2025 <br />
