-4 _& <br />NEPA & CEQA FOR PARK REPLACEMENT <br />Federal Lands to Parks Land Exchange for Centennial Park in Santa Ana <br />The proposed project involved the construction and operation of <br />parklands to replace 2.6 acres in Centennial Park that were leased <br />to Rancho Santiago Community College District. The replacement <br />parklands encompass three park sites —a 6th Street site, a Raitt Street <br />site, and the Pacific Electric Park on McFadden —that total 2.76 acres. <br />Although the replacement park sites are in the city of Santa Ana, the <br />property in Centennial Park is subject to a public benefit conveyance <br />deed from the federal government, and the replacement sites will be <br />brought under that deed. The Department of the Interior is the federal <br />sponsoring agency, and the National Park Service is the bureau that <br />administers the Federal Lands to Parks Program. Therefore, the project <br />required NEPA approval through an environmental assessment as well <br />as CEQA approval through a mitigated negative declaration. Different <br />federal agencies/departments have slightly different processes and <br />formats for EA and N EPA processing, which required coordinating with <br />the National Park Service and its program. <br />Location <br />Santa Ana, California <br />Size <br />2.76 acres <br />Client <br />City of Santa Ana <br />Date Completed <br />2020 <br />Services Provided <br />Environmental Assessment, Initial <br />Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration; <br />Coordination Between Agencies; <br />Public Noticing <br />Return to Proposal page 1-19 <br />@D PLACEWORKS A-69 <br />
