4 General Plan Community Outreach Executive Summary CC 10/18/16 Individual group discussions included a staff facilitator and scribe who transferred ideas onto a paper flip chart. All members were asked to participate in the smaller discussions. One participant at each table was later selected to represent the group as part of the next exercise which involved reporting out to the larger audience. Through a series of small presentations, each group leader shared their findings based on the smaller discussions. CONVERSATION SUMMARY The following pages provide a summary of the discussion and small group presentations, as well as highlights from the individual handwritten “important topic” surveys submitted to the City by the community. In organizing and reviewing the community comments, a number of reoccurring topics or themes were identified. These themes and related comments shared by the community are provided below, and will be referenced as the General Plan is updated to clearly describe Santa Ana’s new Shared Vision, policies and programs for action. The General Plan Update will also build on the 2014 Santa Ana Strategic Plan created through extensive community engagement. This Executive Summary will be used together with an upcoming video to be shared with various boards, commissions and the newly established General Plan Advisory Committee. These groups will serve as a “sounding board” to ensure that the voice of the community was acknowledged and establish direction for the creation of draft policies as part of the new General Plan.
