FILE NUMBER
Adopt a resolution authorizing the submittal of a Housing Related Parks Grant application in the
amount of $714,450 for the construction of a park at Memory Lane and the Santa Ana River.
DISCUSSION
The State of California issued a Notice of Funding Availability for the Housing Related Parks
Program to provide funds for parks and recreation projects that benefit the community and add to
the quality of life. The program awards funds on a per- bedroom basis for residential units,
affordable to very low- and low- income households, created or converted during the designated
program year.
The proposed project site is approximately a half acre of undeveloped, vacant land next to the
Santa Ana River Bike Trail. The project will add a park to the inventory of park sites in the City.
Improvements will include installation of a rest area with drinking fountains, bike racks, equestrian
hitching station, playground equipment and shelter, exercise area, drought tolerant landscaping
and river rock bio- swale, security lighting, hard surface and decomposed granite walkway and
other site amenities. The project site is intended for use by the nearby Vista Del Rio Housing site
as well as users of the Santa Ana River Bike Trail.
On January 22, 2014, the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency will submit a grant
application under the Housing - Related Parks Program for the construction of the proposed
project located at Memory Lane and the Santa Ana River, next to the Vista Del Rio housing site.
A resolution is required authorizing the submittal of the application.
