<br />Hello,
<br />I would like to express my concerns and oppositions regarding Conditional Use Permit Nos 2014 -25 and 2014 -26 for the
<br />property at 204 W. Fourth St, Santa Ana. I am a neighbor who resides in the Santa Ana Lofts at 211 N. Sycamore Street,
<br />Santa Ana, 92701 and will be adversely affected should the conditional use permits be approved.
<br />At present time, all the neighboring businesses close their doors at2pm. For us as neighbors, that means we hear all of
<br />the patrons exiting the bars and restaurants starting at 1 :30am through about 2:30am. They do not exit quietly, and
<br />they hoot, howl, laugh, giggle, and yell while they are exiting the bars and headed towards any number of parking
<br />areas. Now, with the local taco trucks camping out on 3rd Street and Sycamore Street, these patrons are staying in DTSA,
<br />outside of bars /restaurants, and hanging out at the taco trucks until 3am. Code enforcement does not work at 3am and
<br />the police do not shuffle the taco trucks off, so we as residents endure the sounds, trash, and overall effects of the
<br />patrons of the local business even after the 2am closing of the businesses. Again, they are not quiet, as they have been
<br />drinking and having a good time, and as residents, we can hear them and our sleep is often affected by their
<br />presence. We can hear their conversations almost word for word, we can hear their fights as boyfriends and girlfriends
<br />quarrel, and we can hear them throwing up and urinating just outside our doors. Mind you, this is all between 1:30am
<br />to 3am. We hear the conversations of the drunks who can't find their cars because they are so drunk they can't
<br />remember where they parked, and we hear the cries of the broken hearted as they cry their hearts out for the ones they
<br />just lost or got away inside the bar. We knew this would occur when we decided to buy and live in DTSA but we never
<br />thought this would occur through 4am or 4:30am. What city would allow a bar /restaurant /establishment to operate
<br />through 4am? It's kind of crazy, especially with residential homes less than 100 yards away,
<br />Allowing the conditional use permit nos 2014.25 and 2014 -26 to operate until 4am would exasperate the problems here
<br />in the Artists Village and as a resident who lives here, our peace and quiet in the wee hours of the morning and Our sleep
<br />would be adversely impacted.
<br />The patrons of 204 W. fourth St. would surely be parking on the streets, in the flat parking lot behind chapter One and
<br />Proof, in the parking structure on P Street, and even in the parking lot behind the Santa Ana Lofts. Should the
<br />conditional use permits be approved, the residents ofthe Santa Ana Lofts will hear the sounds from the parking
<br />structure, the sounds of the car alarms incessantly going off, the beep beep as car alarms are turned on /off, and the
<br />usual sounds of cars speeding past our front door and all of our front facing windows. My particular unit has 53
<br />windows total and yes, we can hear the sounds of the cars and people as they drive past our unit. To make matters
<br />worse, we have a metal door /latch /sewer cover on Sycamore Street, almost in front of the electrical box, that we can
<br />hear every time a car drives Over it. Dunk, dunk Dunk, dunk — is what we hear as the cars exit the parking structure on
<br />3`d /Sycamore and drive past our home to get to First Street. Dunk, dunk. Dunk, dunk. Imagine hearing that sound,
<br />through at least 4:30am, how would anyone get sound sleep?
<br />We contended with PayanX doing their unpermitted workouts on the top floor of the parking structure for one full
<br />year. During that time, we had in excess of 100 people flash mobbing the parking structure at 4am and Sam to work
<br />3'IiO T
