Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Dear Planning Commission, <br /> <br />I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the proposed elimination of industrial zoning in <br />Santa Ana and the severe impact it will have on my business, Knight Towing. <br /> <br />My husband and I started this business 22 years ago with nothing but hard work and determination. We <br />are required to operate within a 10-mile radius. The forced relocation due to zoning changes means we <br />will lose critical contracts, putting our livelihood at serious risk. Furthermore, there are no other <br />permitted towing locations available within Santa Ana, making it impossible for us to continue <br />operating within the city we have long served. <br /> <br />It is incredibly disheartening that a city I was born and raised in, the city where my husband and I built <br />our business from the ground up, is now pushing us out. What makes this even worse is the lack of <br />clarity on whether the City of Santa Ana intends to provide relocation assistance or compensate <br />businesses like mine for the revenue we will lose due to these changes. Are we expected to absorb <br />these devastating financial losses on our own? <br /> <br />This decision will have long-term consequences—not just for our business but also for our employees <br />and the essential towing services we provide. I urge you to reconsider the impacts of this proposal and <br />work with affected businesses to find a viable solution. <br /> <br />I appreciate your time and look forward to your response. <br /> <br />Mayra Ruiz <br />Knight Towing <br />1001 N Logan ST <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />714-667-0373 <br />714-604-3339 <br />Www.KnightsToTheRescue.com <br />  <br />Planning Commission 1 – 206 3/6/2025 <br />
