City of Sonta Ana • 1RFP X14 -036 _andscare Architectural Design for �oclflc Electric Park <br />Project Experience <br />Community Inspired Spooes ,®, <br />M DESIGN <br />RJ GROUP <br />Citrus Ranch Park <br />Tustin, CA <br />Project Summary <br />Citrus Ranch Park is home to one of the last remaining citrus orchards in Orange County, <br />and is being preserved by the City of Tustin for posterity. The nearly 1,000 lemon trees <br />were a viable lemon- producing venture when citrus growing was the county's major <br />commerce. The grove is situated on a knoll that rises 40 feet above the surrounding <br />park area. A trail leads to the top of Vista View Point offering a 360 degree view of <br />Orange County, the San Gabriel Mountains, and Catalina Island in the Pacific Ocean. Soil <br />sampling was performed to verify any presence of contaminants that may be harmful <br />to the general public health and welfare, with remedial measures recommended. <br />The park includes Citrus and agricultural themed elements found in the playground <br />and amenities within the park. Citrus Ranch Park incorporates sustainable design <br />practices that include selective use of California native plant materials, decomposed <br />granite trails, vegetated swales to collect diverted parking lot runoff, and a weather <br />station to efficiently monitor the irrigation system's use of recycled water. The passive <br />park also includes restrooms, picnic shelters, overlook pavilion, picnicking, open play, <br />and seating areas. <br />SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO • SACRAMENTO 12 <br />wwwRJMdeslgngroup.com • [9491495 -2600 <br />
