determines and declares as follows:
A. The City of Santa Ana is requesting approval of Public Facilities Naming No.
2019-01 to name a new City park at 720 East Sixth Street "Parque

(SAMC), the Planning Commission is the decision making body for the
naming of public facilities including parks and recreational facilities,

in the SAMC pertaining to the naming of public facilities states that names
which serve to identify the location, environmental and development

consistency in the naming of City parks, the proposed park be named

of the butterfly and of the neighborhood residents as they moved into the
Lacy Neighborhood and became key members of the community.
