(Linda Hale) Ms. Linda Hale, Senior Planner, provided a brief overview of the Main Street study session held with the City Council. She focused on the directed actions that came out of the study session. Particularly, the rezoning of property to the Professional (P) zoning district south of MainPlace Drive and north of the I-5 freeway. There would also be a General Plan Amendment to redesignate these properties to the Professional and Administrative Office (PAO) land use category. In the Museum district, an interim zoning is proposed for properties with Main Street frontage called Community Commercial-Museum District (C1-MD). This zoning would revise the permitted uses on an interim basis. Mr. Larry Yenglin, Associate Planner, provided an overview of modifications to the Professional (P) zone uses and standards. These changes will revise the Professional (P) zone and impact all Professional (P) zoned property, not just property in and about North Main Street. Mr. Howard Burns, representing McDOnald's, spoke in protest of the proposed P zone change on the Red Roof Inn site. He passed out a rendering of the proposed McDonald's site. The proposed franchise operator introduced herself and was looking forward to coming into the City of Santa Ana. Ms. Ruth Ornsby of Red Roof Inn, spoke in favor of McDOnald's given they are unable to get a sit-down restaurant adjacent to their hotel. Mr. Bon Enger, representing Mr. McClure at Edgewood and Main Street, spoke in opposition to the Professional (P) zone change on his client's property.
