Tustin, California 92780
Dear Members of the Tustin City Council,
CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
NOV 18 2024
RECEIVED
I am writing to express strong opposition to the proposed rezoning of the Enderle Center
for the state -required affordable housing and to ask you to vote no for a housing overlay for the
Enderle site.
While I, along with other citizens, support the revitalization of the Enderle Center, and
understand the requirement for affordable housing, the proposal to allow 413 housing units on
the Enderle location is not in the best interest of our city residents. Enderle Center is a Tustin
landmark and currently offers city residents dining, shopping, and a place for community
musical performances, children's shows, car shows, outdoor concerts and holiday celebrations.
Rezoning for housing and the vertical structures required for housing units and parking raises
concerns about the loss of a loved Tustin landmark and a gathering place for the community of
Tustin.
Furthermore, the proposed 413 housing units on the Enderle site, with possibly more than
826 people and cars in an already dense area with businesses, condos and houses will cause
increased traffic congestion on 171h street and Yorba, and infrastructure problems and safety
issues.
For these reasons and more, I respectfully implore the City Council, as our elected
representatives, to find a location that truly serves the best interests of our community and does
not compromise the Enderle area with vertical housing, parking structures and more traffic
congestion. Thank you for your dedication to the well-being of our city and for voting no for a
housing overlay for the Enderle site.
Sincerely,
