While we appreciate all work on education in the local community, the traffic and noise implications for the residents are unacceptable. Wright St., Linwood Ave. and Eastside Ave. were not designed for the kind of traffic burden this presents. the residents of our neighborhood will struggle every morning to get to our jobs and schools because of the jams on either side of our street. What would happen if an Emergency Vehicle needed to reach us at that time? They would be stuck at the jam on either side, there was a traffic study done for the planning commission but when it was presented at the last meeting it made no sense to any of us in the neighborhood, the diagram presented a much longer parking lot for drop offs than actually exists. I believe there is some "funny business" going on here because there is no way that area of 17th nor our small residential inlet on EASTSIDE AVEIWRIGHT ST. can handle this much traffic without trapping residents in on both sides. We are united as a community and will fight this development because the character of our neighborhood is in jeopardy. Once the school is complete, we will have no say and will be stuck with a poorly planned school causing unacceptable inconvenience to the tax paying and voting residents of our neighborhood.

My husband and I are residents on Eastside Ave. located 6 houses down the street from the location being considered to be rezoned for Ednovate Charter High School. I am a long time resident of Santa Ana and I have never before expressed an opposition to any ordinances or applications brought before the City Council, but after watching this application get approved at the 6/25/18 Planning Commission meeting, I was compelled to write to you to express my concern that our community safety is in jeopardy. During the Planning Commission Meeting several of my neighbors spoke on our behalf and I was very disappointed to see that there was only one vote against the application and that it has now moved to the City Council for review. When my husband and I purchased our home over 28 years ago one of the main considerations of selecting a neighborhood, was finding a safe, secluded quiet neighborhood. We were fortunate to have found a home where neighbors have also been long time residents and have become friends over the years. Our neighbors truly care about the safety of our homes and street environment and having a high school just around the corner with over 500 students in attendance will directly impact our street traffic. I am very concerned since our neighborhood has young families as well as grandchildren that live on our street. This also directly affects our commute to work since we exit our neighborhood onto 17th Street. I hope that you take into account my personal petition to vote against this application. Sincerely, Mitra Moya 34 Year Resident of Santa Ana July 10, 2018 The Honorable City Council 20 Civic Center Plaza, M-30 P.O. Box 1988 Santa Ana, CA 92702 RE: AA 2018-05 1440-1450 E. 17th Street Dear City Council: We are residents of Santa Ana and reside at Linwood Avenue. The purpose of this letter is to voice our protest of the project at 1440-1450 E. 17th Street due to traffic issues. A few years ago, 141h and 15th Streets east of Grand Avenue were closed to incoming traffic to allow for cul de sacs. Due to this, we have experienced an increased volume of vehicular traffic entering our neighborhood on Linwood Avenue via 17th Street. As we understand this project, AA 2018-05, traffic would be increased on Linwood due to entering and exiting students from this school. This increased traffic would have an adverse impact on our street and many residents have expressed their disapproval and great concern over this situation. Since we have increased traffic due to the closure of 14th and 15' Streets, we are therefore very concerned what effect this extra traffic from the school would have on our street. We are requesting that the Council take a very close look at the adverse effect this project will have on our street and neighborhood. If this project is approved we are requesting parking permits be issued to residents on the 1500 and 1600 blocks of North Linwood.

I would like to kindly bring to your attention our opposition to the construction of Ednovate Charter High School on 17th and Wright Street, as a valued member of the community for over 27 years. The traffic flow and noise generated by the school is unacceptable. The more I have dialogue with fellow members of the community whom will be affected by the build, the opposition increases. Therefore, I don't only speak for my household but for other member of the community whom have not been able to attend the meetings or face communication issues such as the inability to utilize electronic mail or speak English. I trust you as leaders in serving our community who strive to cater to all realms of the neighborhood and tax paying residents. Furthermore, I'd like to indicate that while traffic has been analyzed by the planning members, the information has not been presented to community members. The claim is made that it will not affect the neighborhood. However, there is a possibility of human error in the analytics. Many proposals look great on paper, but I strongly believe the building of this institution will be catastrophic to our immediate community. This neighborhood was our desired location to grow as a family due to the low traffic flow and quite environment. This is at risk! I'd like to end the statement with my love and passion for education. Simply because we disagree with the establishment of an education institution in our neighborhood, does not mean we oppose the benefits education promotes and creates in our society. -1 serve as a mentor and leader at my California State University, Fullerton and donate endless hours by facilitating future opportunities to marginalized students. Please assist us in stopping the build of Ednovate Charther High School on 17th and Wright Street. I look forward to hearing back and please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.

I apologize I do not have the time to come to the meeting in person. This time of the day I'm picking up my kids and working my way back home from the surrounding area. Two young children at a city council meeting... is a poor decision. I am specifically writing about my opposition to the proposal to rezone the property at 1440-1450 E 17th Ave to a public charter high school (Ednovate CHS). I live on Linwood Ave. I am daily getting on 17th from Linwood and heading towards the 55. 1 drive past the area on a regular basis. Traffic in the morning is decent, it flows well and the congestion really begins at Tustin Ave. The traffic will certainly be horrendous with a school there. The traffic will certainly back up badly for people living on and Wright street. The neighbors who have friends there are dreading it as well. Even if the school is as small as initially claimed, it will grow over time, we have seen this happen at Muir Elementary. Try driving down Mabury before school gets out. You'll be sitting on 18th for a long time. The folks I've talked with there are very frustrated trying to get home or go out during school hours. Parents park all over, illegally (red zones) and no action is taken. As far as my family and neighbors life on Linwood Ave. We live on a beautiful street, wonderful neighbors and it's a lovely pocket here on this side of town. Parking is easily found normally (outside of a weekend party which usually clears by 11 pm at the latest). We don't have those horrible parking permits like many parts of Santa Ana does. My friends and family can visit and park in front of my house anytime they wish usually. It's wonderful. We have no desire to start a parking permit on our street. The addition of a high school will most certainly increase our traffic on the street as well as surrounding streets. With Wright congestion significantly increased it's only a matter of time before parents (and students) figure out that parking and waiting on Linwood (both sides of 17th) for drop off/pick ups is much easier. Just a walk around the block. Linwood is a busy street at times and a feeder into the lower streets off 17th. With the added congestion it will be noisier and busier in general. Which is a shame, being that currently one can sit outside, enjoy the breeze and have some peace and quiet with out seeing people idling in their cars waiting for a student(s) or waiting to drop someone off. Finally, my last concern and reason my family opposes such rezone is that the light at Linwood is very slow and not so hot. 17th is busy at end of day and parts of the morning. I assume parking would be from 17th onto Wright. I can see an increase in accidents when one is heading westbound on 17th and attempting an unprotected left turn onto Wright. Also anyone attempting to come down Wright and cross 17th and all 6 lanes + center turn (insane) will happen. Poor decisions are made in rushed times. An increase of accidents will be a significant increase and delays on all neighboring areas and streets. When Wright becomes backed up, the far right lane (#3) on 17th would also be backed up to a stop while traffic slowly creeps onto Wright. Recipe for disaster. Usually when traffic backs up as such (as seen by 17th/Tustin Ave/55) red lights are ran through, people hang their cars in the intersection and safety is significantly reduced for pedestrians, drivers and their occupants. We feel (and talking with my neighbors here on Linwood Ave) that a relocation of this idea would be a better solution. There are many great buildings in Santa Ana that could be used for a nice Charter High School that would not significantly impact residential areas and the residents who regularly use the streets and parking for themselves and their families. I am sure that a suitable location off a major street can be found. For the safety of the students and the reduction of congestion in this area of Santa Ana. I hope my statements would be reviewed and considered by the council. I thank you for your time on this issue with us. God Bless America.

Recently it was brought to my attention that the city is considering a High School on the intersection of 17th and Wright St. measure to which I am totally opposed for the same reason the whole neighborhood is opposed to. This plan will bring a whole lot more traffic in our neighborhood and it will be chaotic specially in the mornings. Please reconsider this plan. Instead I will suggest to build the High School across the Main Place Mall, on Main St. where the city plans to build new apartment complex. I have lived in Santa Ana many years and I think we are over populated already. Please NO MORE APARTMENTS COMPLEXES in Santa Ana. I wish I was able to attend the meeting this evening, but here by I express my discontent to the High School plan.

We are respectfully requesting that the council DENY the recommended actions outlined in the agenda item 75A-5 Exhibit A, but specifically to the first item which references the rezoning of a properly from ,Single -Family Resident (R-1) to Arterial Conrrnercial (C -S) and a properoj fi•ora Single-FamHy ResidenceIB paridng ,suffix (R -1B) and Arterial Commercial (GS) to theAr•terird Commercial (C-5) zoning district We oppose this request for the following reasons: • By approving this item, the council will in essence be allowing the charter school from growing fiom 220 students to 350 students in the 2019.2020 school year with an overall enrollment of 460 students as cited in the agenda item. We question the charter school's ability in recruiting these students to their intended targets. • An approval for decision would be in direct contrast to the last city council meeting which capped the enrollment of Citrus Springs Charter. • We don't believe a need exists in this area for a high school as students in this area are currently served by our dependent charter, the Advanced Learning Academy which provides students with competency -based learning and an early college program where students will eventually earn college credits leading up to an associative of arts degree in coordination with our educational partner, Santa Ana College; and home to the 2018 National Speech and Debate winners. • Traffic will be added to this area should the charter reach its projections. We welcome the students from Ednovate, or now known as Legacy College Prep by the Orange County Department of Education (OCDE), to enroll in our schools as we provide innovative opportunities across the district. The district has a 93% high school graduation rate and 97% of our students expressing that they will move on to college as success indicators. This year, our students earned $11,272,672 in total FAFSA, Grants, Scholarships, Awards, an indication of academic persistence and rigor. We also offer other programs such as our XQ Super Schools which provides students with project -based and place -based innovative learning environments. We also have an International Baccalaureate program, Filar Academy, Legal Academy, and 32 Career Technical Education (CTE) pathways across the district. 1601 East Chestnut Avenue, Santa Ana, CA 92701-6322, (714) 480-5349 BOARD OF EDUCATION Valerie Amezcua, President • Rigo Rodriguez Ph.D., Vice President Alfonso Alvarez Ed.D., Clerk • Cecilia "Ceei" Iglesias, Member • John Palacio, Member We greatly appreciate the Council'sconsideration of our common goals related to public schools which greatly benefit Santa Ana residents.

PETITION We feel very strongly against this Public Charter School. For one this isn't the proper location for a school. This is a residential neighborhood with small children and there isn't enough room for people to drive down the street and drop-off and pick-up without putting our children and grand children at danger. People already use this street instead of Linwood or Maybury to cut thru to get to 14th Street, 15th Street, Washington, and several more Streets. There has been numerous times where kids have almost been hit because of this. There will be hundreds of cars before school and after school on our Street and there is just not enough room for this kind of traffic.

We believe that their proposed loading/drop off system will create queuing on 17th St. resulting in a jam which will force parents to detour into the adjacent neighborhood. The area nearest the school (using the best available alternate route) is Eastside Ave. We believe this will be a more efficient loading/drop area for the parents. The problem is that 8-10 driveways will be blocked multiple times a day. We measured the proposed property lines. With 400-500 students (factoring in carpools and pedestrian students), the proposed facility does not have an adequate drop off zone. The data supports our hypothesis. In an emergency, police and fire dept will not have clear access to approx 6 houses on Eastside Ave. during loading/drop times daily. Please see attached. Asim Sultan ( 1')2 Y f w r " '+..
