In 2019, the City submitted a grant application for the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program and was awarded $3,600,000 for the construction of the subject park. In 2021, the City entered into an agreement with David Evans and Associates, Inc. to provide design and construction support services for the subject park. On September 19, 2023, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Legion Contractors, Inc. in the amount of $3,366,625 for the construction and completion of the public park. The park construction is estimated to be completed in winter of 2024. On October 23, 2023, the Planning Commission received a report and staff presentation, as well as public comments, on the subject actions. As part of the deliberations and actions, the Planning Commission discussed impacts from eliminating parking spaces on the project site and impacts to residents residing in the vicinity. Following deliberations, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to (1) adopt a resolution approving Public Facilities Naming No. 2023-01, (2) adopt a resolution finding Abandonment No. 2023-03 consistent with the General Plan; (3) recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving General Plan Amendment No. 2023-01; and (4) recommend that the City Council adopt an ordinance approving Amendment Application No. 2023-01 , with the stipulation that additional public engagement be conducted prior to the City Council hearing. The Public Works Agency scheduled an evening community meeting at Kennedy Elementary School on November 15, 2023 to further inform the community of the park improvements and the proposed elimination of parking from the park site. Public Facilities Naming (PFN) No. 2023-01 In accordance with Section 33-8 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC), staff is recommending that the City Council affirm the Planning Commission's adoption of a resolution approving Public Facilities Naming No. 2023-01 naming the subject park to "Gerardo Mouet Park." From June 22 to July 14, 2023, staff from the PRCSA solicited park names through a social media survey campaign. Staff used the naming criteria prescribed per Section 33-6(c) of the SAMC as the benchmark for submittals. The naming criteria includes the following requirements: Standard and McFadden Park located at 1117 S Standard Avenue November 21, 2023 Page 4 1 . A name, which serves to identify the location of the subject by reference to distinct geographic, environmental, or development features in the immediate area; 2. A name, which references the history of the subject site or its immediate area; 3. A name, which identifies a person or family, which made an extraordinary donation of land or funds to promote the construction or improvement of the subject public facility; or 4. A name which recognizes a person or family who made a distinct, significant contribution to the well-being of the City, including past mayors, council members, board or commission members, officers or employees of the City, but not anyone who currently holds any such position. Staff reviewed over 200 naming suggestions. The list below was developed as a priority for consideration, as the names closely fall under the criteria mentioned above: 1. Gerardo Mouet Park (Former PRCSA Director & Interim City Manager) 2. Salvador Quintana Park 3. Hibiscus Park (Santa Ana's Flower) 4. Cornerstone Park After consideration of the list above, the Parks, Recreation & Community Services Commission recommended on July 27, 2023 by a vote of 4-1 to recommend that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution approving "Gerardo Mouet Park" as the name of the subject park and on October 23, 2023, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to adopt a resolution approving Public Facilities Naming No. 2023-01 and naming the subject park Gerardo Mouet Park. Abandonment (PW) No. 2023-03 In accordance with Section 8333 of the California Streets and Highways Code, staff is recommending that the City Council adopt a resolution approving PW No. 2023-03 vacating a portion of a public service easement adjacent to the subject park site. The portion of the alley to be vacated is located on the south end of the alley between Wakeham Avenue to the north and McFadden Avenue to the south, adjacent to 1117 South Standard Avenue. The 4,848 — square foot portion of the alley was dedicated to the City of Santa Ana as a public easement, which is currently being utilized by vehicle traffic to access residential apartment complexes located to the north. On October 23, 2023, the City's Planning Commission adopted a resolution finding the vacation of the portion of alley to be in conformity with the City's General Plan as required under Section 65042(a) of the California Government Code. As part of the park construction plan, the alley is proposed to be abandoned and redesigned/replaced approximately 20 feet to the east. This replacement dedication will provide equivalent street circulation and function for vehicles traveling between Wakeham Avenue and McFadden Avenue to access the apartment complexes. Further, the Public Works Agency has determined that there are no issues with this portion of the alley being Standard and McFadden Park located at 1117 S Standard Avenue November 21, 2023 Page 5 abandoned, presently or in the future. Utilities, other government agencies, and City agencies have been advised of the portion of alley vacation. Standard and McFadden Park located at 1117 S Standard Avenue November 21, 2023 Page 6 General Plan Amendment (GPA) No. 2023-01 In accordance with Section 27-12 of the SAMC, staff is recommending that the City Council adopt a resolution approving GPA No. 2023-01 which is required in order to change the land use designation of portions of the park site from Low Density Residential (LR-7) to Open Space (OS) for consistency purposes. The OS designation applies to those areas of the City designated to provide for recreational and green spaces, including parks, commercial open space, and public facilities such as water channels and rail infrastructure.

Amendment Application (AA) No. 2023-01 In accordance with Section 41-664 of the SAMC, staff is recommending that the City Council adopt an ordinance approving AA No. 2023-01, which is required in order to change the zoning district designation of the park site from Multiple-Family Residence (R-3) to Open Space Land (0) for consistency with the General Plan land use designation of OS. The O district designation applies to those areas of the City that provide permanent open space. Therefore, the proposed O zoning designation is the appropriate zoning designation for the park.

By assessing and preparing for levels of risk, the city can endure the range of safety hazards and adapt to changes over time. This element works in tandem with other elements of the General Plan, such as the Public Services Element, which has goals and policies related to police, fire, and health services; emergency planning; and resiliency. The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) for the City of Santa Ana planning area was developed in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and followed FEMA's 2011 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan guidance. The LHMP incorporates a process where hazards are identified and profiled, the people and facilities at risk are analyzed, and mitigation actions are developed to reduce or eliminate hazard risk. The implementation of these mitigation actions, which include both short and long-term strategies, involve planning, policy changes, programs, projects, and other activities. i ne most recent LHMP for the C: ty of Santa Ana can be tound at the following link: https://www.santa-ana.org/hazard-mitigation-plan/.

By assessing and preparing for levels of risk, the city can endure the range of safety hazards and adapt to changes over time. This element works in tandem with other elements of the General Plan, such as the Public Services Element, which has goals and policies related to police, fire, and health services; emergency planning; and resiliency. The Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) for the City of Santa Ana planning area was developed in accordance with the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (DMA 2000) and followed FEMA's 2011 Local Hazard Mitigation Plan guidance. The LHMP incorporates a process where hazards are identified and profiled, the people and facilities at risk are analyzed, and mitigation actions are developed to reduce or eliminate hazard risk. The implementation of these mitigation actions, which include both short and long-term strategies, involve planning, policy changes, programs, projects, and other activities. i ne most recent c-Wl for the C: ty of Santa Ana can be tound at the following link: https://www.santa-ana.org/hazard-mitigation-plan/.
