<br />• Density: Dwelling units per acre; a measure
<br />of residential development.
<br />E
<br />• Environmental Justice (EJ) Community
<br />or Area: The City uses a mapping tool
<br />from CaIEPA called CalEnviroScreen
<br />(CES) to identify the most vulnerable
<br />and disadvantaged areas in Santa Ana
<br />(in the context of SB 1000). The CES tool
<br />measures indicators for every census tract
<br />in California related to people's exposure
<br />to pollution and quality of life. The results
<br />for each census tract are combined and
<br />measured against every other census tract,
<br />producing a composite score that ranks
<br />census tracts from the least impacted to the
<br />most impacted. Those ranked in the top 25
<br />percent —shown with values between 75 and
<br />100 percent —are considered disadvantaged
<br />or environmental justice communities. These
<br />communities are frequently discussed in
<br />terms of the geographic areas where they are
<br />located.
<br />• Equitable: A condition or treatment that
<br />is fair and impartial. Equity recognizes
<br />individuals, neighborhoods and communities
<br />have different circumstances and needs,
<br />and therefore different groups of people
<br />need different resources and opportunities
<br />allocated to them in order to thrive.
<br />F
<br />• Facilities: Facilities are elements or
<br />structures that provide recreation
<br />opportunities in parks. Examples of outdoor
<br />facilities include playgrounds, sports fields,
<br />sports courts, picnic shelters, outdoor
<br />fitness equipment, dog parks, skate parks,
<br />amphitheaters, and community gardens.
<br />Because of their specialized uses and
<br />operational requirements, some larger
<br />facilities, such as pools and recreation
<br />centers, are classified as major facilities or
<br />specialized facilities.
<br />W
<br />• High Need Unserved Area: Unserved
<br />areas were further evaluated to determine
<br />the severity of community need. Unserved
<br />residential gap areas were considered
<br />"high severity of need" if three or more
<br />of the equity metrics applied per area
<br />(Environmental Justice Community, Land
<br />Use Element Focus Area, Below the Poverty
<br />Level, Majority Non -White, and/or High
<br />Projected Population Density).
<br />J
<br />• Joint -Use Sites: Owned by other agencies,
<br />joint -use sites are managed or maintained
<br />by PRCSA through a joint use agreement, to
<br />increase access and opportunities for fitness
<br />and recreation. Examples include school
<br />sports fields and other facilities owned by the
<br />School District.
<br />• Landscaped Areas: Landscaped Areas are
<br />a type of open space that is maintained for
<br />community aesthetics and beautification, but
<br />not for park use. These may include medians,
<br />street rights -of -way, gateways, public grounds
<br />around buildings, etc.
<br />• Land Use Element (LUE) Focus Areas: LUE
<br />Focus Areas were defined in the 2022 General
<br />Plan as areas targeted for more specific land
<br />use planning and design guidance. These
<br />areas were selected based on their ability
<br />to provide new housing options, encourage
<br />a range of businesses, promote access
<br />and linkages to leisure amenities, preserve
<br />industrial land, and concentrate development
<br />along transit corridors.
<br />• Level of Service (LOS): LOS is qualitative or
<br />quantitative measure describing the scale or
<br />amount of service desired or provided. For
<br />parkland, LOS is typically measured as a ratio
<br />of acres per 1,000 residents. For facilities,
<br />LOS is measured in terms of one facility
<br />per number of people served. "Existing
<br />LOS" is calculated based on the City's
<br />current inventory and population numbers.
<br />"Proposed LOS" is based on anticipated
<br />future needs and future population forecasts.
<br />M
<br />• Major Facilities: Some facilities in parks
<br />require a greater investment in maintenance,
<br />operations, and programming. These are
<br />referred to as "major facilities." They include
<br />facilities such as amphitheaters, recreation
<br />and community centers, senior centers,
<br />gymnasiums, the zoo, indoor and outdoor
<br />swimming pools, sports stadiums, and tennis
<br />centers.
<br />• Multi -Use Fields: Multi -use fields typically
<br />are rectangular sports fields with dimensions
<br />and markings that accommodate a variety of
<br />sports, such as soccer, football, and lacrosse.
<br />Fields may include amenities such as lighting,
<br />bleachers and permanent or movable goals of
<br />multiple configurations.
<br />1
<br />• Neighborhood Parks: This park classification
<br />includes small parks, typically 1 to 5 acres
<br />in size, intended to serve nearby neighbors.
<br />These sites provide small-scale opportunities
<br />for play, picnicking and leisure activities for
<br />residents that live within walking or biking
<br />distance. Typical facilities include playgrounds,
<br />picnic tables and open lawn areas. Sports
<br />fields, sports courts and trailheads also may
<br />be located within neighborhood parks to
<br />provide opportunities for local recreation.
