RELATED DEVELOPMENT SOUTH BRISTOL
Please do not approve this project without completely addressing these issues. These must be iron clad in the Development Agreement.

More Public Benefit from the developer, (at a minimum, adjusted for inflation from the last 4+ years) spent in the area around the development, with active input from the residents and businesses most impacted. 13 ACRES
In various meetings, we've heard folks positively gush about the great 13 acre "park" in this development. Realistically, this is open space only for the residents. No one from outside the development will be going there specifically to enjoy the park, walk the dog, or have fun with the kids. (maybe with an ice cream from Hans') there is nothing in the renderings that resembles a play area or sports facility, much less public restrooms.

If there is no playing field, it can't possibly take any pressure off of any of the parks that currently host multiple soccer games, basketball, etc. on every weekend. (more residents will exacerbate the situation) If there is a provision for that, it will be difficult for people to use it.

Where are "outside" visitors going to park? They're not going to use valet. Currently in many Santa Ana parks, the leagues bring their own goals, corner flags, etc. That won't be an option. How will they gain access to the area to unload / load equipment?
It won't be a convenient walk. How are they going to get their picnic baskets (?), beer and soda coolers, and chairs / umbrellas to the site? That issue currently exists; several parks are under-utilized (for sports) because of access issues. (e.g. Lili King... really can't park unless we pay off / twist the arms of SAUSD. Sandpointe... constant street parking already filled
There are folks that think the addition of 13 acres to the City resume is a great thing; and any increase helps. But the over-all value to everyone outside of the property is marginal. There will be resistance to any organized sports if it upsets in any way the atmosphere of expensive luxury apartments. Referees' whistles, boisterous players, cheering, fans and their kids are not part of this development; not to mention evening practices and pick-up games. If you visit a "league play" day in a Santa Ana park, you know that activity would not work in this development.

If this is truly a windfall for the city, it should have provisions for weekend organized sports for the community. It should be ironclad in the Development Agreement. We know from sad experience that terms of Development Agreements are not always met (see Nexus NS2691). Any less-active amenities, tennis or pickle ball, for example, will undoubtedly be restricted by "reservations," card or code access, lack of restroom access, and parking issues. And consider that tennis / pickleball in Sandpointe isn't exactly booked solid.

The open space is private. Santa Ana Parks has not been a part of the discussion. There are no guarantees; and this isn't the windfall that some proclaim it to be. It is illusional.

EIR / Quality of Life
The area surrounding this proposed development will be subject to high disruptions in the quality of life; up to 15-20 years of construction issues, culminating in a 260% increase in "unmitigable" traffic by phase II. They propose to use commercial ride sharing, which only INCREASES the number of trips v. a personal vehicle.

Macarthur is already the de facto alternate for issues on the 405.

This is in an area that already has some of the busiest intersections in the County. Between Thanksgiving and Lunar New Year, the area is already frequently gridlocked.

There is a development under construction now at Macarthur and the 55 freeway.

THE VILLAGE (adjacent to this proposal, and across from South Coast Plaza) has already been presented.

Think what a project like this would do to the area where you live.

The Development Agreement must contain more mitigation for the area. Remember, the owners of this property also own property on the East side of Bristol. Parts of this could contain modified right turn / access -egress provisions to mitigate the issues.
"PUBLIC BENEFIT FUNDS"
$22,000,000 has been suggested for "Public Benefit". Considering the current costs of just about everything, this is absurdly inadequate. What does it cost to fully reconstruct 2 miles of Macarthur Blvd? ( Hint: roadway reconstruction costs have been rising by 24% per year; UP 69% since December of 2020. One intersection, Spruce and Segerstrom, will cost $800,000.00 today; what will things cost in another 2-5-10 years? )* The increase in construction traffic alone will accelerate the need for work on Macarthur and other arterials, already in jeopardy. This will need to be done before the RELATED project is fully contributory. Traffic on Flower, Sunflower, Macarthur, and Fairview will greatly increase, with a need for increased maintenance. The proposed funds will be exhausted just maintaining** what we have, and nothing will improve or be mitigated. The majority of the funds proposed need to be allocated to the area that will be most impacted by the development. There needs to be local citizen input, with full voting on how funds would be used.

The developer has touted the economic boon (sales tax, real estate taxes / valuation, increased economic activity) this will be for the City. That "largess" is in the future: 10-15 years. But the area will suffer and degrade in the interim. There will be an immediate decrease in funds from businesses, and increase in infrastructure deterioration. The investment of the Public Benefit funds in the immediate area is needed to off-set this impact, AND to ensure that the area is prepared and attractive to future residents, investors, and retail customers. If this does not happen, if the funds are parsed throughout the city on short-term pet projects and feel-good promotions, the development will not deliver the future projected gains. We must maintain the long view on the investment of the area. Remember the pain, economic impact, and ongoing traffic issues of the trolley? And how we were hamstrung by the County? The City needs to utilize the funds to offset the issues, anticipated and unanticipated, for the local area. This project impact will be an order of magnitude greater in volume and duration; in the area that is a large (largest?) contributor to the City budget. The project will undoubtedly impact that budget when we can least afford it, the next 2-6 years. *https://enotrans.org/article/fhwa-highway-construction-costs-continued-to-grow-at-24-annual-rate/ **https://www.santa-ana.org/documents/draft-2022-pavement-plan "the arterial network will change from "Good" to "Fair" condition from FY 2022/23 to FY 2028/29 ...level of funding is insufficient to stabilize the backlog since the unfunded deferred M&R projects will increase by 43 percent for the arterial network and increase by 35 percent for the local network.

Subject: Agenda Item 26 - Related Bristol Project
I strongly urge you to approve the Related Bristol project on October 1. A project of this size and magnitude will provide an unprecedented economic package that the city desperately needs, and should be approved.

We cannot lose sight of what is at stake. Related Bristol will generate 16,800 new jobs, $500 million in new tax revenue during its first 30 years and a $544 million community benefits package. As part of your civic duty to vote in the best interest of your constituents, it is imperative to prioritize the needs of the overall community and not jeopardize the financial feasibility of the project over additional union issues, components and other requirements.

Time is of the essence! Nearly 100 local businesses at Metro Town Square shopping center need certainty about their future and business location. With leases for all tenants expiring imminently and the very real prospect of a vacant retail center that is an important generator of sales tax revenues to our City, we cannot delay this project any further, nor jeopardize its feasibility.

Related Bristol is proposing new and improved community amenities that will enhance and elevate the quality of life in this city, including:
• 13 acres of publicly accessible and actively programmed open space, • $22M towards a Community Benefit Fund that could be used towards street improvements, a community center, or anything else the City prioritizes, • A public safety office to shorten police response times, and • $18M in affordable housing in-lieu fees.

More than ever, people want safe, secure public places to connect and build community with family and friends. For these reasons, I support the visionary Related Bristol project, and l urge you to approve this important, new gateway to Santa Ana for the benefit of all.

Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links.

Esteemed City Council Members,
As a resident of the South Coast Metro neighborhood in Ward 4, I strongly oppose the proposed Related Bristol development. Nobody in this neighborhood wants or needs increased traffic. Nobody is asking for luxury apartments to be built where our community shopping center is. Very few people who already live in this area will be able to afford the rent for luxury apartments, so you will be pushing working class people out of their neighborhood and adding to the affordable housing crisis. I love Santa Ana and I love this neighborhood, please stop trying to gentrify her.

We all agree that shopping center needs to be revitalized, but please do anything else with it other than building ugly high-rise apartments that nobody asked for. Build hotels if you want to build them there, but the traffic in this neighborhood can't support that many additional residents. If anyone actually believes that the people who "live in those apartments will work where they live" needs to wake up and join us in real life because those people will have jobs elsewhere and they will commute in their car to their jobs.

What will this development add to our community? What will it do to address the homeless problem our neighborhood currently has? The homeless people who sleep on Bristol can't afford luxury apartment rent.

Don't say it will address the homeless problem because the "affordable" housing you are offering is for seniors and it will do nothing to alleviate us on Bristol who have to deal with homeless people doing drugs in our parks and in the neighborhoods that are already here.

Do something meaningful with the opportunity you have to redevelop this space. Build real affordable housing for working families, build a homeless shelter or a drug rehab facility. Something that will actually be better for our existing community instead of trying to replace us all with rich people.

Thank you,
Katie Perez

Please prioritize the general good of our community and make the right decision. I am in full support of the visionary Related Bristol mixed-use development because of it promises unprecedented benefits for the City of Santa Ana for decades to come.

Approval of this innovative and dynamic project will help fuel sustainable growth and prosperity for Santa Ana. It will help contribute to the economic, social and cultural expansion of one of the largest and most consequential cities in Orange County.

I urge you to approve Related Bristol now or risk losing this once-in-a-generation opportunity.

Dear Mayor and Council Members,
The Planning Commission approved this project 7-0. The Commission saw the benefits of this project to the city, resident and union workers. So did the major of the union workers who were present at the commission meeting. They spoke highly in support of the project.

So I did understand some of the concerns of the Unions expressed at council. Last week I talked to a few trades. I learn that due to work in Orange County they could only supply 10% of the work force needed for this project. I was told this is a well know secret in the the trades. Also some Union members felt the trades should of perused this issue months ago. So please do not cause us to lose out on this project when the trades cannot supply the man power needed. Accept the pledge from Related to use Union Labor where possible and let's move on.

Please do not kid yourself that the Collins family or Relate will not walk away from this project. I have seen too many companies like my beloved Dow Chemical where I worked for 20 years, pulled projects from California and relocate them in others states. The residents in those state now benefit from the taxes and high paying jobs those projects bring. Projects which should of been built in California. So l urge you to approve Related Bristol now or risk losing this once-in-a-generation opportunity.

Time is of the essence! Nearly 100 local businesses at Metro Town Square shopping center need certainty about their future and business location. With leases for all tenants expiring imminently there is very real possibility of a vacant retail center will occur and a large lost of income to the city.

So approve this project that will generate 17,000 new jobs and $500 million in new taxes during the first 30years. Something the city will need with the sun-setting of measure X.

I would like to add that I am president of Com-Link, live in the area and have talked to many of the residents/neighborhood leaders. The majority once their concerns were addressed do see the benefit to our area. They urge you to approve this project as I do.

Thank you,
Carl Benninger

Subject: OPPOSE the Related California Bristol Specific Plan project Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana. Use caution when opening attachments or links.

Dear Councilmember Lopez,
My husband and I are residents of Santa Ana living in the Sandpointe neighborhood of south Santa Ana area. I am writing to express my view to OPPOSE the Related California Specific Plan project that is proposed for 3600 S. Bristol Street.

The issues we have with the Related California Bristol Specific Plan is:
3750 units X 800 (Avg sq ft?) = 3,000,000 sq ft of residential. At 3 people average per apartment unit that is 11,250 people generating 30,000 more vehicle trips on Bristol and surrounding streets. Bristol is a crowded and busy street, especially by the In and Out. That intersection is busy all of the time. Adding more residents in such a small space will make traffic unbearable.

Estimating that maybe 50% of the 200k sq ft commercial is retail. The retail is 3% of the residential. There is no anchor retail. That is not mixed-use, it's a mixed ruse. Where do we go shopping? The amount is not big enough for a Vons plus other retail. Is it only going to be donut shops and nail salons? If that is the case, where do I go for my groceries? Irvine or Costa Mesa? The alleged "14 acres" of underwhelming open space is grossly exaggerated as it appears to count sidewalks, and maybe drive aisles, etc. There is no nice 5-acre central park with lots of grass and trees. (All that concrete/asphalt from the ground and stucco side of 5-story and 10-story buildings throws off a lot of heat.) Where do kids kick a soccer ball or adults throw a frisbee? Where is the landscape plan? What are the size of the apartment units?
Who are the proposed residents who will live here? Are there deed-restricted low-income units and if so, how many? Also, with an open design, will there be security assigned to keep the homeless out of the landscaping? With that many residents in a small area, most people will have pets. Where is the dog park or do the animals share with the children in the "green space"?
It feels dishonest to pretend this is a benefit for Santa Ana residents when it's not. This is probably the largest, most dense residential project ever in Orange County. (Or close to it). There will be over 10,000 people living there. The City should candidly present this project for what it is and let everyone then give their opinion based on accurate information and presentation, and not misleading spin. 1 Are there at least provisions to ward off multiple changes to the design after approval? Will the developer be responsible for holding to this exact plan or will there be a bait and switch due to costs or desire for higher profits to change significantly later to line pockets?
This project is not what our area needs. Revitalization and improvements of the retail area are always welcome, but this project will ruin the lifestyle of current Santa Ana residents and cause us to spend our money elsewhere or eventually move to get away from the high-density, wall-to-wall buildings that will block the horizon view.

Please vote to OPPOSE this Related California Bristol Specific Plan.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Dear Honorable Mayor & City Council Members,
On behalf of the Orange County Business Council (OCBC), we encourage you to approve the Related Bristol project during the upcoming vote on October 1. This transformative development represents a significant economic opportunity not only for Santa Ana, but to the entire County, promising to deliver substantial benefits that align with the city's long-term fiscal health and community growth goals.

The economic impact of Related Bristol is undeniable. The project will create 16,800 new jobs, generate $500 million in new tax revenues over its first 30 years, and provide a $544 million community benefits package. These contributions are vital to fostering the city's economic resilience and competitiveness. It is crucial that we remain focused on the broader economic benefits for the entire community, rather than allowing additional requirements or union-related concerns to hinder the financial viability of this project.

There is an urgency to act. Nearly 100 businesses within the Metro Town Square shopping center face uncertain futures, with leases expiring soon. The prospect of a vacant retail center—one that currently provides essential sales tax revenues to the city—poses a real threat. Further delays to the Related Bristol project risk undermining local business stability and economic growth.

Approving this innovative mixed-use development will not only support Santa Ana's economic expansion but will also enhance its cultural and social fabric. Related Bristol stands to be a cornerstone in driving sustainable growth, prosperity, and opportunity for generations to come. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity that Santa Ana cannot afford to lose. I strongly urge you to approve the Related Bristol project and secure the economic future of our city.

For these reasons, OCBC is in full support of Related Bristol, and we ask you to vote yes to approve this project.

Dear Honorable City Council Member,
I strongly urge you to approve the Related Bristol project on October 1. A project of this size and magnitude will provide an unprecedented economic package that Santa Ana desperately needs.

There is a lot at stake. Related Bristol will generate 16,800 new jobs, $500 million in new tax revenue during its first 30 years and a $544 million community benefits package.

Time is of the essence! Nearly 100 local businesses at Metro Town Square shopping center need certainty about their future and business location. With leases for all tenants expiring imminently and the very real prospect of a vacant retail center that is an important generator of sales tax revenues to Santa Ana, this project cannot be delayed any further; nor have its feasibility jeopardized.

Related Bristol is proposing new and improved community amenities that will enhance and elevate the quality of life in Santa Ana, including:
• 13 acres of publicly accessible and actively programmed open space, • $22M towards a Community Benefit Fund that could be used towards street improvements, a community center, or anything else the City prioritizes • A public safety office to shorten police response times, and • $18M in affordable housing in-lieu fees.

More than ever, people want safe, secure public places to connect and build community with family and friends. For these reasons, I support the visionary Related Bristol project, and I urge you to approve this important, new gateway to Santa Ana for the benefit of all.

Thank you,

Dear Mayor and Council Members,
The Planning Commission approved this project 7-0. The Commission saw the benefits of this project to the city, resident and union workers. So did the major of the union workers who were present at the commission meeting. They spoke highly in support of the project.

So I did understand some of the concerns of the Unions expressed at council. Last week I talked to a few trades. I learned that due to work in Orange County they could only supply 10% of the work force needed for this project. I was told this is a well known secret in the trades. Also some Union members felt the trades should of perused this issue months ago. So please do not cause us to lose out on this project when the trades cannot supply the man power needed. Accept the pledge from Related to use Union Labor where possible and let's move on.

Please do not kid yourself that the Collins family or Related will not walk away from this project. I have seen too many companies like my beloved Dow Chemical where I worked for 20 years, pulled projects from California and relocate them in others states. The residents in those state now benefit from the taxes and high paying jobs those projects bring. Projects which should of been built in California. So l urge you to approve Related Bristol now or risk losing this once-in-a-generation opportunity.

Time is of the essence! Nearly 100 local businesses at Metro Town Square shopping center need certainty about their future and business location. With leases for all tenants expiring imminently there is very real possibility of a vacant retail center will occur and a large loss of income to the city.

So approve this project that will generate 17,000 new jobs and $500 million in new taxes during the first 30years. Something the city will need with the sun-setting of measure X.

I would like to add that I am president of Com-Link, live in the area and have talked to many of the residents/neighborhood leaders. The majority once their concerns were addressed do see the benefit to our area. They urge you to approve this project as I do.

Thank you,
Carl Benninger

Dear Honorable City Council Members,
I strongly urge you to approve the Related Bristol project on October 1. A project of this size and magnitude will provide an unprecedented economic package that the city desperately needs, and should be approved.

We cannot lose sight of what is at stake. Related Bristol will generate 16,800 new jobs, $500 million in new tax revenue during its first 30 years and a $544 million community benefits package. As part of your civic duty to vote in the best interest of your constituents, it is imperative to prioritize the needs of the overall community and not jeopardize the financial feasibility of the project over additional union issues, components and other requirements.

Time is of the essence! Nearly 100 local businesses at Metro Town Square shopping center need certainty about their future and business location. With leases for all tenants expiring imminently and the very real prospect of a vacant retail center that is an important generator of sales tax revenues to our City, we cannot delay this project any further, nor jeopardize its feasibility.

Related Bristol is proposing new and improved community amenities that will enhance and elevate the quality of life in this city, including:
• 13 acres of publicly accessible and actively programmed open space, • $22M towards a Community Benefit Fund that could be used towards street improvements, a community center, or anything else the City prioritizes, • A public safety office to shorten police response times, and • $18M in affordable housing in-lieu fees.

More than ever, people want safe, secure public places to connect and build community with family and friends. For these reasons, I support the visionary Related Bristol project, and l urge you to approve this important, new gateway to Santa Ana for the benefit of all.

As part of your civic duty to vote in the best interest of your constituents, it is imperative to prioritize the needs of the overall community and not jeopardize the financial feasibility of the project over additional union issues, components and other requirements.

Time is of the essence! Nearly 100 local businesses at Metro Town Square shopping center need certainty about their future and business location. With leases for all tenants expiring imminently and the very real prospect of a vacant retail center that is an important generator of sales tax revenues to our City, we cannot delay this project any further, nor jeopardize its feasibility.

Related Bristol is proposing new and improved community amenities that will enhance and elevate the quality of life in this city, including:
• 13 acres of publicly accessible and actively programmed open space, • $22M towards a Community Benefit Fund that could be used towards street improvements, a community center, or anything else the City prioritizes, • A public safety office to shorten police response times, and • $18M in affordable housing in-lieu fees.

More than ever, people want safe, secure public places to connect and build community with family and friends. For these reasons, I support the visionary Related Bristol project, and I urge you to approve this important, new gateway to Santa Ana for the benefit of all.

Thank you,

Dear Honorable City Council Member,
As one approaches the City of Santa Ana on Bristol Street, one passes by the beautiful area of Costa Mesa, South Coast Plaza and its surrounding venues on the way to Santa Ana. As you pass through this area and cross Sunflower it is indeed evident you are in Santa Ana, the poor stepsister of Orange County. All around you are tired, outdated, shopping centers. I used to live just up the street, so I know whereof I speak.

Imagine driving by the proposed Related Bristol project, an actual destination and revitalized area. This project would be such an addition to a city that really needs a facelift. When I tell people I live in Santa Ana they roll their eyes as if to say why? I strongly urge you to approve the Related Bristol project on October 1. A project of this size and magnitude will provide an unprecedented economic package that the city desperately needs and should be approved.

Our city will be losing the sales tax increase revenue we voted for several years ago, So look for a funding shortfall when this occurs.

We cannot lose sight of what is at stake. Related Bristol will generate 16,800 new jobs, $500 million in new tax revenue during its first 30 years and a $544 million community benefits package.

Dear Esteemed City Council Members:

As a member of South Coast Metro Alliance, 4 Hutton's ownership, Ares Asset Management, LLC strongly urges you to approve the Related Bristol project on October 1-2024. A project of this size and magnitude will provide an unprecedented economic package that the city needs and should be approved.

We cannot lose sight of what is at stake. Related Bristol will generate 16,800 new jobs, $500 million in new tax revenue during its first 30 years and a $544 million community benefits package. As part of your civic duty to vote in the best interest of your constituents, it is imperative to prioritize the needs of the overall community and not jeopardize the financial feasibility of the project over additional union issues, components, and other requirements.

Time is of the essence! Nearly 100 local businesses at Metro Town Square shopping center need certainty about their future and business location. With leases for all tenants expiring imminently and the very real prospect of a vacant retail center that is an important generator of sales tax revenues to the City of Santa Ana, this project should not be delayed further, nor jeopardize its feasibility.

Related Bristol is proposing new and improved community amenities that will enhance and elevate the quality of life in this city, including:
• 13 acres of publicly accessible and actively programmed open space, • $22M towards a Community Benefit Fund that could be used towards street improvements, a community center, or other City priorities,
• A public safety office to shorten police response times, and • $18M in affordable housing in-lieu fees.

More than ever, people want safe, secure public places to connect and build community with family and friends. For these reasons, 4 Hutton and Ares Asset Management, LLC support the visionary Related Bristol project, and we urge you to approve this important, new gateway to Santa Ana for the benefit of all.

Dear Honorable Councilmember Hernandez,
I strongly urge you to approve the Related Bristol project on October 1. A project of this size and magnitude will provide an unprecedented economic package that the city desperately needs, and should be approved.

We cannot lose sight of what is at stake. Related Bristol will generate 16,800 new jobs, $500 million in new tax revenue during its first 30 years and a $544 million community benefits package. As part of your civic duty to vote in the best interest of your constituents, it is imperative to prioritize the needs of the overall community and not jeopardize the financial feasibility of the project over additional union issues, components and other requirements.

Time is of the essence! Nearly 100 local businesses at Metro Town Square shopping center need certainty about their future and business location. With leases for all tenants expiring imminently and the very real prospect of a vacant retail center that is an important generator of sales tax revenues to our City, we cannot delay this project any further, nor jeopardize its feasibility.

Related Bristol is proposing new and improved community amenities that will enhance and elevate the quality of life in this city, including:
• 13 acres of publicly accessible and actively programmed open space, • $22M towards a Community Benefit Fund that could be used towards street improvements, a community center, or anything else the City prioritizes, • A public safety office to shorten police response times, and • $18M in affordable housing in-lieu fees.

More than ever, people want safe, secure public places to connect and build community with family and friends. For these reasons, I support the visionary Related Bristol project, and l urge you to approve this important, new gateway to Santa Ana for the benefit of all.

Thank you,

Dear Honorable Mayor: Valerie Amezcua,
As a resident, community member and business executive, I am writing to express my strong support for the approval of the Related Bristol project on October 1st, 2024. This initiative represents a significant economic opportunity that our city urgently needs, and it is crucial that we prioritize the best interests of our residents.

This project has the potential to create 16,800 new jobs and generate $500 million in tax revenue over the next 30 year, along with a substantial $544 million community benefits package.

Nearly 100 local businesses at Metro Town Square shopping center need certainty about their future and business location. With many leases expiring soon, we face the very real risk of a vacant retail center, which would significantly impact sales tax revenues for our city. Delaying this project is not an option.

I urge you to please prioritize the general good of our community and support this project. I am in full support of the visionary Related Bristol mixed-use development because of it promises unprecedented benefits for the City of Santa Ana for decades to come.

Approval of this innovative and dynamic project will help fuel sustainable growth and prosperity for Santa Ana. It will help contribute to the economic, social and cultural expansion of one of the largest and most consequential cities in Orange County.

I kindly ask your support for Related Bristol now, for we risk losing this once-in-a- generation opportunity.

Sincerelv.
