Exhibit 1 <br />EVALUATING PARK ACCESS AND EQUITY <br />A park access analysis evaluates park service <br />based on the actual routes and distances <br />people must travel to get to parks or <br />recreation facilities. It is based on the notion <br />that everyone benefits from living within <br />walking distance of park. The park equity <br />analysis evaluates level of need to help <br />inform and prioritize future investment in the <br />park system. Together, they provide a more <br />detailed snapshot of Santa Ana's need and <br />opportunities. <br />The maps and analysis tables in Appendix <br />B inform the findings presented in Chapter <br />4. Maps and supporting analysis tables are <br />described below. <br />ACCESS ANALYSIS <br />Using ArcGIS Network AnalystTM, the following <br />maps take into account the actual paths of <br />travel to parks to identify residential areas that <br />are served and unserved by parks. <br />• Map B-1: Park Access (City Parks): This <br />map notes the areas that served with walking <br />distance to Citywide, Community and <br />Neighborhood parks. <br />• Map B-2: Park Access (All Parks and <br />Facilities): This map notes the areas <br />that served with walking distance to all <br />classifications and types of Santa Ana parks. <br />• Map B-3: Park Access (Service Areas <br />and Gaps): Unseved residential areas are <br />illustrated by applying current City of Santa <br />Ana standards, as noted below: <br />• Provide Citywide and Community Parks <br />within a 10-minute walk (112 mile) <br />• Provide smaller parks, including <br />Neighborhood Parks, joint -use school sites <br />and special use facilities, within a 5-minute <br />walk (1/4 mile) <br />EQUITY ANALYSIS <br />The 43 unserved residential areas were further <br />evaluated using equity -based characteristics <br />to note areas with a higher severity of need. <br />All equity analysis maps are shown with the <br />unserved residential areas (identified in the <br />access analysis). <br />• Map B-4: Environmental Justice + LUE <br />Focus Areas: Environmental Justice (EJ) <br />Communities were identified through the <br />General Plan process using CalEnviroScreen <br />4.0 data. See Chapter 4 for additional detail. <br />The City has identified five focus areas <br />along major corridors as most suitable for <br />new development. Focus Area boundaries <br />are taken from the General Plan, Land Use <br />Element (LUE). <br />• Map B-5: Below Poverty Level: Using U.S. <br />Census data, tracts with greater than 20% <br />of its residents living below the poverty <br />threshold were noted. (The overall U.S. <br />5-year ACS poverty rate from 2015-2019 was <br />13.4%). <br />• Map B-6: Majority Non -White or Hispanic/ <br />Latino: Block groups with populations for <br />which the racial majority (51 % or more) <br />is non -white or Hispanic/ Latino were <br />identified. <br />• Map B-7: Projected Residential Unit <br />Density: High density areas with 15 dwelling <br />units per acre or more were identified <br />based on General Plan residential land use <br />designations and densities. <br />• Table B-1: Analysis of Severity of Need: <br />This table summarizes the characteristics of <br />each unserved area, indicating which are <br />impacted by the equity metrics outlined <br />above. If three or more the equity analysis <br />characteristics were present, the area was <br />considered as having a greater need. <br />SYNTHESIS <br />Results of the combined access and equity <br />analysis identified a baseline for the <br />opportunities analysis. <br />• Map B-8: Park Access and Equity Analysis <br />Synthesis: This map summarized the access <br />and equity analysis, highlighting 43 unserved <br />residential areas with limited access to parks <br />and recreation opportunities. Of which, 23 <br />unserved residential areas were considered <br />"high severity of need." <br />OPPORTUNITIES ANALYSIS <br />All underserved areas were further assessed to <br />identify recreation opportunities. Considering <br />Santa Ana's built -out nature and limited <br />resources, acquiring new parkland was only <br />considered as an option if the combination <br />of identified opportunities did not have the <br />potential to serve the entire gap area. The <br />following tables include details that support <br />this analysis. Map B-8: Park Access and Equity <br />Analysis Synthesis: This map summarized <br />the access and equity analysis, highlighting <br />43 unserved residential areas with limited <br />access to parks and recreation opportunities. <br />Of which, 23 unserved residential areas were <br />considered "high severity of need." <br />• Table B-2: Analysis of Opportunities to Serve <br />Park Gaps: This table describes other park <br />or recreation opportunities in each of the 43 <br />park deficient areas. <br />• Table B-3: Detailed Summary of Key Needs <br />and Alternative Interventions: This table <br />summarizes opportunities and key needs <br />used to inform systemwide recommendations <br />(see Chapter 6). <br />City Council 14 — 127 5/17/2022 <br />
