In 1979, the City licensed approximately 1.76 acres of land to the Rancho Santiago Community College District (RSCCD) to build and operate an educational facility for 30 years. The City then allowed RSCCD to expand its facility to include a total of approximately 2.6 acres of land, the facility is known as Centennial Education Center (CEC). The 30 -year license agreement with RSCCD was set to expire in November 2009, but was extended by the City as RSCCD expressed interest to convert the license agreement into a long4erm lease in order to make improvements to its facilities. This request was initially denied by the National Service (NPS), the agency in charged with enforcing and Interpreting the use restrictions, because it did not satisfy the public recreational use restrictions. NPS then requested that RSCCD vacate the site by 2019 or work with the City on a land conversion plan. On August 18, 2015, the City Council authorized an agreement with RSCCD to move forward with a land conversion plan to consider allowing CEC to remain at Centennial Park. The NPS established a protocol for land conversion approval which is identified as an Evaluation Criteria Study. Six properties, including the subject properties, met the Evaluation Criteria Study standards and were selected by the City as part of the conversion plan. Transaction of Land and Prior Community Outreach On November 17, 2015, the City Council approved staffs recommendation to move forward with the administrative process required to acquire the subject properties to provide for new open space using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. On January 19, 2016, the City Council held a public hearing and approved a Substantial Amendment to the 2015-2016 Annual Action Plan for the reallocation of CDBG funds for the acquisition of these properties. This amendment to the Annual Action Plan required a 30 -day public comment period from December 14, 2015 through January 13, 2016. Following the 30 -day public comment period, the Redevelopment and Housing Commission held a public hearing on this action; no comments were received, On April 5, 2016, the City Council adopted a resolution making findings with respect to the consideration to be received by the Housing Authority as the Housing Successor Agency pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement between the Housing Authority and the City for the sale of 415 and 423 South Raitt Street and authorized the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the Purchase and Sale Agreement and all required documents for the acquisition of the subject properties. 75A-5 GPA No. 2016-03 & AA No. 2016-03 January 23, 2017 Page 4 Prolect AnalvsIs General Plan Amendment The existing General Plan land use designation for the project area is Low Density Residential (LR,7), which only allows the construction of single-family homes or seven dwelling units per acre. In orderto facilitate the future construction of a park, this land use designation needs to be changed to Open Space (0), which allows for the construction of parks, water channels, cemeteries and other open space uses. Currently, a total of 1,014.7 acres are included in this land use designation. Of this total, 358 acres of public park land are Included in this land use designation, This General Plan amendment application will change this to a total of 1,015,13 acres of land, The creation of additional public open space or park area implements the City's Open Space, Parks and Recreation Element Goal I of providing' sufficient open space to meet the recreational and aesthetic needs of the community. Furthermore the City's Land Use Element Goal 1 promotes a balance of land uses to address basic community needs and Policy 1.7 calls for the support of open space in under -served areas, such as the project site. The change to an Open Space land use designation will provide an additional 45,911 square feet or 1.1 acres of public parkland and will provide park space in a neighborhood Currently under -served. Amendment Application The project area is currently zoned Single -Family Residential (R-1), which does not Identify park or open space as a permitted use. The proposed zone change (amendment application) is required to change the zoning for the 1.1 acre site from Single -Family Residential (R-1) to Open Space (0) to facilitate the future park construction to serve the surrounding community. In addition, the project site is physically suitable to be developed as a park and will conform to the development standards of Division 23 (Open Space) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC). The zone change would need to be approved in conjunction with the proposed General Plan amendment. This would result in a project that is consistent with the goals and objectives of the City's General Plan land use designation of Open Space. Because the proposed General Plan Amendment is consistent with the General Plan Open Space, Parks and Recreation Element, the zone change would be consistent with the overall visioning for the project site and immediate vicinity. In addition, the project will alleviate a disparity in access to parks and recreation in the city and will serve this park deficient neighborhood. Parks and open space offer multiple benefits. These benefits include the joy of playing in the park; social cohesion; bringing people together; improved overall physical and social health; and promote conservation values of clean air, water and land. The proposed park, when built, will assist in enacting residents into open space and community 75A-6 GPA No. 2016-03 & AA No. 2016-03 January 23, 2017 Page 5 building. Neighborhood parks have been identified as key components in supporting healthy communities and social support. Furthermore, parks play an important role in providing people with places to celebrate culture and art and will support the City's efforts of creating a park sustainable future.

Box 1988 Santa Ana, CA 92702 RE: Notice of Public Hearing -Proposed Zoning of Parcel Land (�D 415 & 423 Raitt Streets I am writing this letter because I will be unable to attend the hearing on 2/21/2017 @ 5:45 pm. My husband and I currently live across the street from this parcel land and we are totally against the proposal of turning it to a park due to the extreme limited parking in the area. Currently, we are experiencing a high volume of cars parking directly in front of our house, with three cars squeezing close together or around the curb, which is a parking violation. I have notified the city several times about it and nothing has been done, such as parking enforcement to issue parking citations. When they park in front of both of our properties, they will sometimes leave trash on our front yard, which is totally uncalled for because we have to clean it up. If this park were to be proposed and taken in effect, the parking would become terrible. Also, I had suggested parking permits to limit the number of people parking in this area. My neighbor next door is just as frustrated with the parking in the area because he cannot park directly in front of his property too. Please take this lefter into consideration ASAP. Thank you.
