ANA AS FOLLOWS:

determines, and declares as follows:
A.The City of Santa Ana is requesting approval of City-initiated Public
Facilities Naming (PFN) No. 2024-01 to name the park located between
Fairview Street and King Street as Artesia-Pilar Park
B.Pursuant to sections 33-5 through 33-8 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code
(SAMC), all requests for naming or renaming of public streets, public
buildings, parks or recreational facilities owned or controlled by the City,
shall be referred to the Planning Commission for determination, subject to
confirmation by the City Council. Further, the policy guidelines in the SAMC
pertaining to the naming of such facilities specify the criteria that shall be
used in such determination.
C.On July 25, 2024, the Parks, Recreation and Community Services
Commission held a meeting regarding PFN No. 2024-01 and, after receiving
information on the item, voted 6-0 to recommend that the Planning
Commission adopt a resolution approving “Artesia-Pilar Park” as the name
of the park located between Fairview Street and King Street.
D.On October 14, 2024 the Planning Commission held a meeting and
discussed PFN No. 2024-01.
E.Based on the established guidelines, the name of Artesia-Pilar Park
satisfies the criteria of SAMC Section 33-6(c)(1) of the SAMC, which directs
the promotion of names which serve to identify the location of the subject by
reference to district, geographic, environmental or development features in
the immediate area.
Section 2. The Planning Commission finds and determines that this Resolution is
not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to sections
15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines because the naming of a public
facility (a park) will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change

environment and is not a “project,” as defined in section 15378 of the State CEQA
Guidelines. Furthermore, the Resolution falls within the “common sense” CEQA exemption
set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen
with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant
effect on the environment.”
Section 3. The Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana hereby approves
Public Facility Naming No. 2024-01 to name the park located between Fairview Street
