The proposed project is a restaurant, tasting room and small brewery located at 501 N French St, on the corner of 5th and French. The current office will be improved and upgraded and include both indoor and outdoor seating, including a new rooftop seating portion. The project will help activate the corner on the edge of Downtown that sits directly between the incoming streetcar stops on 4th/French and Santa Ana/French. The project will also help provide an integral "connector" to the Lacy Neighborhood / Station District. The operator is Noble Ale Works, who currently has a large scale Brewery and tasting room in Anaheim. Noble is well regarding the business and we are excited to bring them to Downtown Santa Ana. Would appreciate you and your commissioners support and any questions let me know. Thank you. From:Lisandro Orozco To:eComment Cc:Bernal, Sarah; Orozco, Ivan Subject:Please Approve - Item #2 - 501 N. French Street Date:Monday, September 23, 2019 8:51:22 AM Planning Commission - I would like to voice my support for the proposed restaurant/brewery at 501 N. French Street. I own a home just outside the 500 foot notification area and also spend lots of time walking by this building. This project will help activate this otherwise dead intersection (5th/French) with aesthetic improvements and increase pedestrian activity. This project is also only one block away from fourth street and fits well into the fabric of our downtown commercial. I would like to request your support for this project.

From: Mimi Mar <mimi.mar Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2019 9:21 PM To: eComment <eComment@santa-ana.org> Subject: Noble Ale Works Dear City of Santa Ana - I learned recently that Noble Ale Works is joining DTSA with a restaurant and brewery on the east end. I think anytime a business establishment want to be part of the DTSA community is a good thing. This business can only contribute to making this part of Santa Ana more appealing. I currently own The Pizza Press, located at 117 W 4th Street and have been here a little over a year and a half. I can tell you that operating a business here has been a challenge with so many vacant stores around me. I am urging you to support new restaurants such Noble Ale Works and other eateries that want to do business here in Santa Ana. Please make your approval process simple for them. I would appreciate you and your commissioners support and any questions let me know. Thank you. Mimi Mar The Pizza Press 7 September 23, 2019 Chairman McLoughlin and Members of the Santa Ana Planning Commission City of Santa Ana 20 Civic Center Plaza P.O. Box 1988, M31 Santa Ana, CA 92701 Sent via email: sbernal@santa-ana.org RE: Noble Ale Works Project, 501 N. French Street Dear Chairman McLoughlin and Members of the Santa Ana Planning Commission: My name is Jon Gothold. I have been a resident of Santa Ana for over 31 years. In addition, I have owned the Old Santa Ana City Hall building on 3rd and Main Street for nearly 20 years. I am lending my voice of support for the proposed Noble Ale Works project located at 501 N. French Street. When I first moved to Santa Ana in 1988, I lived just up the street from this location, at 1116 N. French Street. I lived there for over 15 years. My neighbors and I dreamed of amenities like this coming to within walking distance of our neighborhood, but during the time I lived there with my family, nothing like that ever arrived. In fact, many of our favorite neighborhood amenities went away instead, such as the Trader Joes that was at Main and Washington. This is a wonderful project which deserves our support. The residents of French Park and the Lacy Neighborhood/Station District have waited a long time for this type of thing to happen, and this will also benefit all of us the live, work and play Downtown. Sincerely, Jon Gothold Santa Ana 92706 From:Allen Moon To:eComment Subject:Comments for 9/23 Meeting - Support for Nobel Ale House Date:Monday, September 23, 2019 10:12:34 AM Dear City of Santa Ana - I am reaching out to you with regards to a proposed project coming to the planning commission next week.
