Exhibit 1 MATRIX INTRODUCTION This appendix presents two tables to summarize park system recommendations. • Table C-2: Recommendations for Existing and Proposed Parks • Table C-3: Additional Recommendations for Trail Corridors and Joint -Use School Parks PARK RECOMMENDATIONS Table C-1: Recommendations for Existing and Proposed Parks presents a matrix noting recommended capital projects for existing parks and potential future park sites. Table rows are divided into two main sections: 1) Existing Parks; and 2) Planned, Proposed and Expanded Parks. Within these two categories, parks are divided into park types as inventoried. The matrix uses a checklist approach to identify sites where specific site interventions are needed. This allows the City to quickly assess which sites are in need of renovation, and how many sites may be targeted for acquisition and new park development. The City may consider other projects not noted in this matrix, as long as they fit with the vision, values, key initiatives and policies of the Parks Master Plan. The intent of this matrix to provide general guidance on systemwide enhancements needed. It informs the costs shown in Appendix E. The matrix includes the following information: City Council SITE INFORMATION • Site: The name of the park or a reference name. Where the new park is intended to meet needs noted in the park access and equity analysis, the corresponding number of the park gap is noted. (See Chapter 4.) • Total Acreage: Total acreage of and existing site or the proposed acreage for a new site. • % of Acreage Developed: The area of the site that is currently developed or will be developed upon completion of recommended improvements. This percentage is an estimate that help account for the natural resources present on site. 14 — 148 SITE INTERVENTION OR OPPORTUNITY As noted in the Chapter 4 and Appendix B, several existing sites could benefit from the following interventions and opportunities to improve park access within several park gaps areas (areas unserved by existing parks). • Potential Expansion: Adjacent properties to park may have the potential for City acquisition for park expansion. As a capacity enhancement project, these expansions are noted under Planned, Proposed and Expanded Parks and simply cross-referenced here. • Enhancement to Attract Residents From Farther Away: Currently, some of Santa Ana's parks attract visitors from mile away, as noted in the City's park service standards. The development of more and more unique recreation facilities at sites noted in this column could help serve nearby unserved areas. • Improved Access to Existing Park: The service area reach of some park sites is limited because of a nearby barrier that impedes walking to the park within a 5- or 10-minute walk. (1/4 or mile) These sites would benefit from access improvements. CAPITAL PROJECTS • Acquire/Expand: Where appropriate, obtain new land for future park development. • Master Plan or Design: Where appropriate, create site master plans, design concepts and/ or feasibility studies. This applies to proposed new parks and to existing sites slated for significant enhancements. Before any major facility is renovated, expanded or developed, the City should create a financial feasibility analysis and market study to ensure that the building is successfully operational when open. • Develop Park: Construct the site to include any infrastructure, utilities, landscaping, recreation facilities and support amenities at the site. • Develop Through Partnership: Contribute to the cost of a new park or facility developed through public/private partnership or public/ public partnership. • New Major Facility Additions: This column includes notes about the addition of any new major facilities at the site. • Improve Comfort Amenities: Make improvements to comfort amenities such as lighting, seating, shade shelters, trash receptacles, bike racks, etc. that are damaged, worn or at end of their lifecycles. These represent minor improvements that affect approximately three percent of the developed portion of the site. 5/17/2022 Exhibit A ® SANTA ANA PARKS MASTER PLAN APPENDICES
