Subject: Re: CUP 2U22-UUU9
Mr. Barra8an,
It has come to my attention that there has been discussion about putting a Methadone Clinic at
535 E. First St,Tustin.
| implore you toplease not bring this clinic toour neighborhoods.
My mother is a recovered heroin addict and has been to clinics over the years.The people she has
known to use the clinic (including herself) are getting "free fix."
It ends up being a place to meet fellow addicts and continue their mission to get high. A place to
congregate.
| would rather these people congregate inAAmeetings orrehab.
Why do we need to bring troubled lives into our communities when we are following the rules of
society, and trying tolive our lives the right vvay??
Please help us keep Tustin safe. We want to protect itfor our children and our children's children.
Thank you.

I am writing to provide my objection to the City of Tustin granting approval for the above-referenced
CUP.This type of use is not appropriate in the intended location.This property is located in a vital
shopping and office area for the surrounding residential neighborhoods.
The patients that come to this type of clinic are often disruptive to neighboring establishments.
There is a similar clinic on First Street in Santa Ana. It is between a small shopping center and
medical laboratory I have frequented for years. Once the drug treatment clinic went into that area, I
experienced and observed problems when I went to the shopping and medical center with people
begging, camping out on the sidewalk, and drug deals taking place in the parking lot.
At the Labcorp location at the corner of First Street and Tustin Avenue in Santa Ana, where I
frequent for lab tests, I witnessed similar happenings since this clinic went in of people dealing drugs
in the parking lot, loitering, and begging on this property. Labcorp eventually had to hire a security
guard to monitor the parking lot.This has helped alleviate some of the problems but has not
eliminated them.
At my last appointment at the Labcorp location, the police were there arresting someone who was
causing problems in the parking lot. Due to these problems, I have stopped frequenting any
businesses on First Street, west of the 55 Freeway.
Should this clinic come to this location in Tustin, there is a strong possibility of the same problems
impacting the surrounding businesses. Businesses have suffered enough negative impacts these past
few years.The City does not have to add additional obstacles for them to overcome by approving
this CUP and permitting this business to move into this area.
I want to continue to shop and eat in Tustin. However, if this business moves to this location, I will
surely find safer places to do so.
Sincerely,
Sharon Hennessey-La IBont

SUII�Ject: California Treatment Services(Methadone Clluvc)to be Ilocated at 535 E.First St,Second Floor,

Dear Pl,anning Coir nrn�ssioni for the City of"Fusdri
I would like to ask that you deny the request of California Treatment Services to open
their clinic at 535 E. Furst St. for the following reasons'.
The clinic is servicing clients with addiction problems. What I am concerned about is
people following the clinic to Tustin because of the drugs dispensed which is less
than two hundred feet from our condo community (Palmwood) and two blocks from
Columbus Tustin Middle School.
More police/medical intervention will be requiired in dealing with loiteriing, theft. The
current ciiinic had to install an iron bar fence around their building to secure the drug
storage and for employee/client safety,
The City of Santa Ania, has dealt with these problems for the past few years and what
make us thinik that problems are not going to follow CTS down the street to Tustin.
Please deny the permiit, for these safety concerns, in our community
�Dale and Iliialne Willuirnson
