Dear Respected City of Santa Ana Council Members and Planning Commissioners,
I was hoping to be able to make it to tonight's City Council meeting to attend the hearing for the Conditional
Use Permit for Super King Market located at 2741 W MacArthur Blvd, but unfortunately, I will not be able to
make it and hope that this email submission will suffice in lieu of my presence for consideration.
First, I do want to start by saying that we were very excited about the news that Super King will replace the
former Ralphs space as the new anchor for the South Coast Marketplace and we are very excited to have a local
market with fresh produce. As a resident of Canopy Lane, the community of newly constructed homes located
directly behind the market, we are looking forward to having a market within walking distance of our home.
While I am not contesting the CUP for alcohol sales, I was hoping to use this opportunity to bring up the topic
of the aesthetics of the building. I had initial concerns regarding paint color choices when the back
side of the building was painted a bright chartreuse green, but since the visibility was limited, this was not much
of an issue. However, the front of the store has recently been painted in preparation for the store opening. The
color palette for the shopping center generally consists of an olive green and subtle tones of brown. Super King
has been painted with a green, but it is more of a Christmas green against a strong cherry red. Additionally, the
accent details on the sides of the store have been painted a bright mustard yellow in contrast to the less
obtrusive maize color used throughout the rest of the
center. For your reference, photos are attached.
I will respect whatever decision the Council and Planning Commission ultimately decides on this matter, but as
someone who was born and
raised in Santa Ana and who chose to proudly purchase a home here to raise my family, I hope that this issue of
paint choices be strongly considered as we work together to uphold the property values in our beautiful city.
Respectfully,
Vangie Ramirez
