The site is a remnant of <br />nine residual parcels created by the widening of the Santa Ana (I-5) <br />Freeway. The City acquired the parcels from Caltrans though a <br />Transportation Enhancement Activity (TEA) grant and park development fees. <br />Since these parcels were considered to be too small to accommodate new <br />single-family residences, the parcels were acquired by the City for use as <br />a new neighborhood park (Exhibit 3). <br />Sections 33-5 and 33-6 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code identify the <br />criteria for the naming of streets and public facilities. The criteria <br />include the consideration of a name which serves to identify the location <br />of the subject area, a name which references the history of the site or <br />area, a name which identifies a person or family which made extraordinary <br />donation of land or funds to promote the improvement of the public <br />facility, or a name which recognizes a person or family who made a <br />significant contribution to the well being of the city, including city <br />council, commissioners, officers and employees of the city, but not anyone <br />who currently holds such position. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />39A-2 <br />
