Haber Mixetl Use liansil Corridor Flan <br />Public Park Space <br />Pudic park space serves the community at large and may consist of a variety <br />of recreational amenities, including parks, playgrounds, open grass fields, <br />community gardens, and plazas. This type of open space is available on <br />publicly accessible land for all residents and visitors. Existing examples include <br />Santa Anita Park, Campesino Park, and Spurgeon Park (the latter two located <br />just outside of the Specific Plan area). <br />All new residentlal development in the planning area is required to pay a <br />Residential Development Fee to the City to achieve the goal of two acres of <br />open space per 1,000 residents. This fee is described in Chapter 35, Article <br />IV of the SAMC. See Chapter 7 of this Specific Plan, Implementation and <br />Financing. <br />Initial thoughts about possible locations for creating new park space include <br />land adjacent to Santa Anita or Campesino Parks or the conversion of land <br />within the Santa Ana River Channel to passive open space . <br />Land in the channel is publicly owned, designated for open space, contains <br />bike facilities, and is directly accessible by foot and bicycle to homes and <br />businesses along and around Harbor Boulevard. Conversion of he channel <br />area is consistent with he regional Mountains to the Sea effort and could <br />position the City for grant funding as an infill, transit - oriented Specific Plan <br />area with qualifying income levels. The Residential Development Fees collected <br />from new development would serve as matching funds to compete for state <br />and federal grants. <br />All <br />11. <br />� v t <br />all <br />Wuic p rk stwu is a cri &al darr'nent tw Ne cdrivantl imp. —ill, of th carnal Smaller, <br />centrally loand gags are hahlyencauraea anti mould canned m the sheell visually and <br />physiaty Park speRS povide visual relief hair the urban environment and sem Indihduals, <br />coupe, and families. uhhtn apicadt re and community ppkens should W inaor led roan <br />individual paoj E and Wblic spacos abng Harbor Boulevard, <br />314 City of Santa Ana <br />
