• In reference to Mrs. Whitaker's staff comment about the developer interest <br />in Santa Ana, Commissioner Sarmiento asked if there was an area that the <br />developers were more interested in. Staff replied that interest has been in <br />residential and mostly in the vacan# lots, especially in the Bristol area. <br />• Stated that he thinks the Renaissance Project should be carefully <br />analyzed, as high density is not necessarily better than low density. <br />• Asked when the senior tenant and tenant applicants would be joining the <br />Commission. Staff advised tha# their applications are in the City Clerk's <br />office. <br />Commissioner Jauregui <br />• Inquired as to what services are factored into the Plan in regards to high <br />density. Josie La Quay explained that the Council is aware of the high- <br />density issues and has seen those issues overcome b <br />involvement by the City. As an example, she explained that the City is <br />staff to the Cornerstone Village Board and offers comments and <br />recommendations about the complex to the Board and property <br />management. This open communication and hands-on method has been <br />very effective in ensuring the success of the Cornerstone ViNage project; <br />and she feels that, even though the Santa Ana Boulevard Renaissance is <br />a larger project, it would be treated the same. Chairperson Macres <br />explained to the new members that Cornerstone Village is the old Minnie <br />Street/McFadden apartments, first built for use by the Marines. <br />Chair erson Macres <br />• Welcomed Commissioners Jauregui and Soto and hopes that the two <br />tenant applicants are approved and the positions filled soon. <br />• Attended his first meeting of the Historic Resources Commission (HRC). <br />Mentioned that the HRC is aware of the French Park issue and will work <br />with the Planning Commission on this topic. <br />ADJOURNMENT - 4:21 P.M, to February 7, 2006, at 3:30 p.m, in the City Council <br />Chambers, 22 Civic Center Plaza, Santa Ana, California. <br />Mary Rotter <br />Recording Secretary <br />M h el L, ac , Ch ~rper <br />Community edevelopment and <br />Housing Commission <br />Patricia C.
