Exhibit 1 <br />While the types of capital projects emphasized are new acquisition, design, and development, all <br />capital projects together will affect more existing sites and existing park acreage (Figure 7-2). <br />FIGURE 7-2: PERCENT OF EXISTING AND PROPOSED SITES AND <br />ACREAGE IDENTIFIED FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS <br />SITES <br />. Existing Parks <br />ACQUISITION AND EXPANSION <br />ACRES <br />Planned, Proposed, and Expanded Parks <br />The Parks Master Plan recommends an aggressive strategy to acquire more parkland over the next <br />ten years. Specifically, the City of Santa Ana should strive to add approximately 173 additional <br />acres of parkland, which would grow the park system to 532 acres. If achieved, this would increase <br />the City's park system by 32.5%. It would provide parkland level of service of 1.5 acres per 1,000 <br />residents. While residents would like to see the City of Santa Ana invest in more parkland over time, <br />this represents and aggressive 10-year acquisition strategy. <br />FIGURE 7-3: RECOMMENDED PARKLAND ACQUISITION AND EXPANSION BY PARK TYPE <br />NEW PARKLAND (ACRES) <br />Special Use Facilities I .

The City of Santa Ana should identify <br />the additional operations funding needed before developing new parks. Figure 7-4 <br />illustrates recommended maintenance. All Citywide and Community Parks should receive <br />an enhanced level of maintenance to take care of specialized assets and support heavier or <br />more frequent use, including events and programs. All other sites should receive a standard <br />level of maintenance. Natural resource stewardship applies to parks with significant natural <br />resources. (See Appendix C for details on recommended maintenance tasks and frequencies). <br />FIGURE 7-4: MAINTENANCE NEEDS AT EXISTING AND PROPOSED SITES <br />60 % <br />50% <br />40% <br />30 % <br />20% <br />MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS (% OF SITES) <br />52% <br />Figure 7-3 shows the amount of acreage recommended for acquisition or expansion by park type. <br />10% 5% <br />The greatest opportunity for adding park acreage is associated with acquiring and developing the <br />Willowick Golf CQ-- — a rr,,- irao PnrU 0 % <br />City Council 14 — 98 Maintenance Maf ten nce 5/1S'tA�6aid?-F <br />Exhibit A <br />SANTA ANA PARKS MASTER PLAN CHAPTER 7: SITE RECOMMENDATIONS <br />
