Subject: 2018-12-04 City Council Meeting — Item 65A
As I have found out this past year the General Plan, Strategic Plan and related maps are all very
important. Therefore, I request you look closely at Item 65A CITY OF SANTA ANA GENERAL PLAN UPDATE -
STATUS REPORT AND POLICY FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT, specifically page 65A-11 (11) as it relates to FOCUS
AREAS. Two items are of major concern, 1) Focus Area Main Place Mall and, 2) Adaptive Reuse Project
Incentive Area along Main Street.
The Main Place Mall Focus Area has been extended south of Memory Lane. The Focus Area includes amongst
other properties: the Discovery Science Center, the Lincoln Town and Country Building, Polly's Pie, Red Rood
Inn and property currently listed and as part of the Park Santiago neighborhood. I think this a mistake that
needs to be corrected. The Main Place Mall Focus Area should be property north of Memory Lane.
Likewise, the Adaptive Reuse Project Incentive Area along Main Street north of the 1-5 freeway includes
residential areas located within the Park Santiago neighborhood. Homes on Edgewood and
Bush Street are shown to be a part of this Incentive Area and should be removed. This Adaptive Reuse Project
Incentive Area use to be a part of the Museum District. What happened?
Respectfully,

Energy Feasibility Study
City of Irvine is inviting cities to piggyback on their CCE feasibility study solicitation
process to save cities staff time and costs. Irvine would also like to partner with other
cities in launching a CGA if it is determined to be viable at the completion of their study
in early -mid 2019.
Benefits of CCE
• New revenue stream for city

• Cost savings for residents and businesses
• Cleaner mix of energy - protect residents from climate change
• Local green jobs
• Helps meet state targets for emission reductions
