ATTACHMENT <br />The City further resolves to work in collaboration with Santa Ana residents and community based <br />organizations and businesses that historically have served them to: <br />A. Implement wellness policies in planning and economic development: <br />1. Ensure an equitable, inclusive economic development plan, as called for in the City's five - <br />year strategic plan, that acknowledges and prioritizes the wellness needs and vision of <br />underserved resident communities; that focuses on supporting Santa Ana residents, local <br />small businesses, workers, youth and families; that creates opportunities for anyone to <br />support themselves and their families in Santa Ana; and that allows for a health lens on <br />economic development, in line with Health In All Policies. <br />2. The City will work with the Orange County Health Care agency, local health systems, non <br />profit organizations, and neighborhoods to produce a baseline assessment of health and <br />wellness and establish indicators which will be used to measure performance and success in <br />health and economic development outcomes. <br />3. Implement strategies that ensure development aligned with Wellness District principles and <br />approaches, including but not limited to the following: active programming of healthy <br />recreational and cultural activities, creating incentives and eliminating disincentives for local <br />businesses offering wellness goods and services, and creating incentives for businesses <br />committing to long term provision of good jobs, affordable housing, and economic stability <br />for Santa Ana residents. <br />4. Proactively develop and implement strategies for Santa Ana residents to remain and thrive <br />in Santa Ana while minimizing negative impacts of development, including increases in the <br />cost of living and other indirect catalysts of displacement. <br />5. Engage the street vendor community to ensure that the City's plans and policies do not <br />impede and are inclusive of their contribution to servicing low- income residents and their <br />families as well as downtown employees and visitors, while maintaining consideration of <br />brick - and -mortar businesses. <br />B. Increase activity in the downtown through culturally relevant programming, increased public <br />use of public spaces, and infrastructure improvements to allow for such uses: <br />6. Support the resolution Establishing "La Calle Cuatro" as the official and historical name of <br />Fourth Street in Santa Ana, and the designation of Plaza Santa Ana as Plaza Calle Cuatro, <br />affirming the name and branding of La Calle Cuatro and Calle Cuatro Marketplace. <br />7. Support community- organized events and programming in the downtown that promote <br />health, wellness, and culture in the public's interest through establishing criteria and a <br />procedure for funding scholarships to cover fees associated with permits and public safety <br />for "temporary outdoor activities" and "special events" including in public and private <br />parking lots. Establish an application process that specifies criteria for eligibility to apply for <br />City sponsorship of the events, using a variety of funding sources allocated through the <br />City's strategic plan and /or discretionary funds. <br />8. Implement infrastructure improvements that promote safety, walkability, cycling, family <br />shopping trips, and access to food vendors including but not limited to improvements along <br />Fourth Street from Ross to Grand, a street promenade on Sycamore between Fourth and <br />Last Modified: 3/4/2015 <br />WS -A -103 <br />Page 3 of 5 <br />
