Dear Mayor Amezcua and Members of the City Council,
I am writing as a resident of the Transit Zoning Code to express my strong support for the proposed amendments to the SD- 84 zoning code, and specifically the removal of the M1 and M2 industrial use overlay. These amendments are a long- overdue fix to the decades of incompatible land uses in the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods. The amendments should also remove the allowable use of public storage facilities, as these are incompatible land uses for a transit oriented development.
I appreciate that the proposed amendments will not force out any existing businesses currently operating within the affected areas. Rather, they will create flexibility for business owners to sell their business and for property owners to re-tenet their buildings with a broad range of businesses. This will allow for responsible business owners to continue to positively contribute to the neighborhood and prevent vacant buildings.
These amendments also provide the city with an essential tool to address the bad actors who are negatively affecting the quality of life in the neighborhood, such as the dump and metal recycling facilities next to Garfield Elementary School. With these amendments, we can better encourage responsible business ownership, ultimately improving the quality of life for residents and business owners alike.
I encourage the City Council to approve these amendments for the benefit of the 1,500 families in the historic Logan and Lacy neighborhoods, and the city as a whole.
Sincerely,
Scott Knudson

Subject: Subject: Support for Item 24 - Remove Madison Ware Dump! Attention: This email originated from outside of City of SantaAna. Use caution when opening attachmentsor links.
Dear Mayor Amezcua and Members of the City Council,
I am writing as a resident of the Transit Zoning Code to express my strong support for the proposed amendments to the SD- 84 zoning code, and specifically the removal of the M1 and M2 industrial use overlay. These amendments are a long- overdue fix to the decades of incompatible land uses in the Lacy and Logan neighborhoods. The amendments should also remove the allowable use of public storage facilities, as these are incompatible land uses for a transit oriented development.
I would like to primarily focus your attention on what is the largest issue in the transportation zone. The Dump known as Madison/ Ware Materials which is adjacent to the Train station. This facility is currently receiving well over 1000 tons per day into the facility and then the same amount out of the facility everyday. The constant traffic from oversized trash trucks is destroying the newly updated roads and bike lanes as well as covering the entire area with dust and particulate matter. It is a violation of the lease agreement for them to use the roads as a que for the facility. It is also a violation for them to un-tarp on the public roads which is contributing to the worst air quality in all of Orange county. Madison/ Ware has made no effort to add misting equipment or undercarriage wash systems to mitigate these issues. Many local residents have reported this to the AQMD but with no consequences. The consistent truck traffic is a hazard to people walking to and from the local elementary school as well as the train station. I continually see the Ware trucks get loaded with outbound loads and then circle around our neighborhood ( at high speeds) just to go from one entrance to the other with no regard for the trash spewing from the open truck. This facility was once intended to be for local landscapers and construction debris but now it is a full scale trash dump that has outgrown its footprint. Please help save this area as no future transportation hub can exist here with the dump abusing the health of all residents and local businesses alike. Please do something before the lawyers have to get involved as it will be very costly for everyone including the City of Santa Ana.
Thank you for your attention on this
Sincerely,
Barney Richer
