The proposed park, in conjunction with another <br />parcel at Raitt and Myrtle Streets, will assist in mitigating the loss of 2.6 acres of public park land <br />at Centennial Park, which is being used by the Rancho Santiago Community College District for <br />educational purposes. <br />The three properties, originally owned by the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Ana, were <br />sold to the City of Santa Ana with City Council approval on April 5, 2016 for the development of a <br />neighborhood park. Currently, three unoccupied, deteriorating, and boarded homes are located <br />on the properties which City staff monitors regularly due to vandalism, unauthorized persons on <br />the property, and other safety concerns. The homes on these parcels may be demolished, in <br />accordance with the Settlement Agreement with the Friends of Lacy Historic Neighborhood <br />( "Settlement Agreement "), once the City formally designates the parcels for park /open space <br />uses, which was completed in January 2016. <br />25F -1 <br />
