TOPIC: Adopt a Resolution Approving a Grant Application from the Urban Greening
Program
AGENDA TITLE
Adopt a Resolution Approving the Application for Grant Funds from the Urban Greening
Program
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution approving the application for grant funds for Urban Greening
Program for the Bristol -Tolliver Street Urban Greening Project.
DISCUSSION
The California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) Urban Greening Program was
created on September 14, 2016 and is funded by the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund
(GGRF). In 2021, Senate Bill 170 allocated $50 million from the General Fund to CNRA
for its Urban Greening Program for projects that reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
emissions and provide multiple benefits.
The Bristol -Tolliver Street Urban Greening Project features the transformation of vacant
City -owned parcels at the intersection of Bristol Street and Tolliver Street into a 1.25-
acre new community park. The project will include drought tolerant landscaping, shade
trees, recreational features, pedestrian pathways, signage, lighting, picnic benches, a
stormwater bioretention basin, and a stormwater capture and reuse system (Exhibit 1).
The project will provide significant aesthetic and environmental benefits, and received
several letters of support from the community (Exhibit 2).
This project is currently in the conceptual design phase and Public Works Agency staff
submitted a concept proposal for $3,502,500 of grant funding to the Urban Greening
Program. A resolution is a required component in the final step of the grant application
process (Exhibit 3). Should funding be awarded, completion of project design is
anticipated in late 2023 and construction is anticipated to commence in early 2024.

RE: Letter of Support for City of Santa Ana Bristol -Tolliver Urban Greening Project
Dear Mr. Foster,
We understand the City of Santa Ana (City) is seeking grant funding from the California Natural
Resources Agency Urban Greening Grant Program for the Bristol -Tolliver Urban Greening
Project (Project). The Project area currently consists of vacant and unused parcels located along
the west side of Bristol Street, between McFadden Avenue and Tolliver Street, in a dense urban
community. These lots are immediately adjacent to King Elementary School, and the park would
be a significant benefit to the children of our community. The Project will transform the unused
area into a beautiful new green space with drought tolerant landscaping, shade trees, seating and
benches, signage, waste receptacles, pedestrian walkways, recreational/educational features,
lighting, and a stormwater treatment system. The Project will dramatically improve the
neighborhood and provide numerous benefits for the neighborhood.
The Santa Ana Unified School District supports the Project and the City's efforts to beautify
Santa Ana, enhance the environment near the major street and school, and improve water quality.
The Project takes steps towards increasing urban green space, meeting important water quality
goals, and addressing climate change.
