Re: 4th & Mortimer Project
Honorable Mayor, members of the City Council and others:
As a life-long resident of Santa Ana, I write to express support for the proposed 4th & Mortimer
development. I have had an opportunity to review the proposed plans and support the project for the
following reasons:
• This development will help support downtown by placing bringing much-needed residents and
prospective customers near our businesses.
• We desperately need investment, jobs and housing to strengthen downtown. This project will
generate a large private investment at a time when it will do much good.
• This will serve a second generation of Santa Ana residents who need a place to live, like myself.
• This project will enhance the neighborhood and improve an area that needs it, especially the
eastern block between Mortimer and Minter.
• This will be a nice place to walk when the project is done
• The building plans are beautiful and visually appealing.
• The 2.35 stalls per unit parking ratio.
• Northgate has been a long-time presence in downtown and is a name we know and trust. We
are glad Northgate is choosing to continue to invest in downtown.
I hope that I can have the opportunity to bid on this project. It would be delightful for me to work on a
nice project like this that will beautify and enhances the city where I live and that I love.
I hope you will approve this project for the good of our community, businesses and neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Sammy Carmona
