DISCUSSION In November 2004, the City and Agency entered into a Right of Entry and License Agreement with Latino Health Access, Inc. (LHA) in order to undertake certain improvements to operate private recreation activities on properties owned by the City of Santa Ana and the Community Redevelopment Agency. LHA is a non-profit health care provider and facilitator. Its goals include helping to build healthy families and neighborhoods. The City and Agency wish to assist LHA in accomplishing this goal and, therefore, entered into the License Agreement. In early January 2006, the City entered into a contract for the preparation of the Santa Ana Renaissance Specific Plan. The boundaries of the Specific Plan encompass a 440-acre area that includes the subject site. With the Specific Plan underway, LHA was invited to join in the planning process in developing its concept. 80A-1
