Subject: Building Owner- Support of the Downtown Commercial Core Specific Plan (DCCSP)
Dear Planning Commission,
I am not able to make the meeting tonight regarding the proposed DCCSP, but wanted to make
sure you know I fully support your proposed plan.
As the owner of 661 W. 1st Street, your plan (specifically 2.3.1.2, as noted below)will
directly and positi�cly impact my building and enh21 ic e my tenants' ability to meet client
needs. ParkiiiL; is a real challenge for us. There is a ti,iwdator business operating on Yorba with
many employees and little harking of there o\%n--th , �Iw employGcs there arrive early and park
on all the open spaces on Myrtle. With much of the 1 i III
e t etl on-street parking soaked up by them,
it adds to our challenge.
Your plan would open up much needed additional parking and create enhancements/curb
appeal to the entire area.
You have my support. I love the plan!
With appreciation,
Chuck

2.3.1.2 First Street The conceptual First Street improvements are consistent with the
preliminary adoption of the N PAH reclassification amendments and promote a pedestrian
friendly corridors by reducing the number of traffic lanes .and lane widths,thus expanding
opportunities for other modes of travel and transforming the character of the street. The
conceptual improvements, represented conceptually in Figure 2.10, reduce the number of
travel lanes from two to one in each direction and narrow the lane widths to 11 feet.This
allows for a 5-foot on-street bicycle lane(Class 2), a 17-foot diagonal parking lane on both
the north and south sides of the street,and a 16-foot-landscaped median. Pedestrian travel
is also facilitated by expanding the existing sidewalk to 8 feet on the north side and 10 feet
on the south side.
