GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No DISCUSSION The 10t" and Flower Park Project (Project No. 26-6642) will construct a new one -acre neighborhood park located at the intersection of 10t" and Flower Streets, transforming an underutilized site into an open space that provides recreational opportunities. The project includes essential site improvements and supporting infrastructure to accommodate recreational use, including a restroom, playground with interactive learning elements and shade sail, outdoor exercise equipment with shade sail, skate park, basketball court, walkways, utility connections, and amenities that support safety, accessibility, and long-term functionality (Exhibit 1). Along with the development of a new park, 10t" and Flower Park Stormwater Capture Project (No. 26-6601) features an underground stormwater infiltration system and Bioretention Basis that will help improve water quality, capture trash, and reduce flooding on Flower Street and Civic Center Drive. The stormwater quality improvements were incorporated in the park plans and the natural landscape features will complement the recreational elements. Construction of the new park and stormwater improvements will be completed at the same time allowing the City to leverage stormwater grant funds to increase open space and improve stormwater management. The projects are consistent with the City's Parks Master Plan to expand access to parks and open space in underserved areas. Prior planning efforts, along with grant funding, identified this location as well -suited for park development to address existing service gaps. The project will provide a safe and accessible recreational space for residents, contribute to neighborhood revitalization, and support the City's long-term goals of increasing equitable access to high -quality parks and community amenities.
