BY THE CITY OF F.C.C. PROPERTY FOR PARK SITE
WHEREAS, the Federal Communications Commission (F.C.C.) owns
97 acres of land situated in the City of Santa Ana, and bounded by
Edinger Street on the north, Fairview Street on the east, the Santa
Ana River on the west, and privately owned, undeveloped property on
the south (G.S.A. Control Number: F.D.D. Monitoring Station, Santa
Aha, California 9-2-Calif-598-B); and
WHEREAS, the F.C.C. has declared this property to be surplus
except for two portions: a 20 acre parcel being retained by F.C.C.,
and a 48 acre parcel being retained for use by the Bureau of Prisons;
and
WHEREAS, the Board of Education has requested 20.7 acres of the
said surplus land for school purposes; and
WHEREAS, the City of Santa Ana has requested the remaining
8.6 acres of said surplus property for park purposes.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Santa Ana, California, that the two United States Senators
representing the State of California, menlbers of the United States
House of Representatives representing the Santa Ana area, and all other
appropriate persons and agencies affected by this matter, be sent a
copy of this resolution and hereby be memorialized to make all
proper efforts to urge the Bureau of Prisons to relinquish its claim
to the 58.17 acres of land above referred to, in order that said land
may also be used for park purposes by the City of Santa Ana, for the
following reasons:
1. This site has been recommended for development as a major
park in the Master Plan of the City of Santa Ana after years of
exhaustive study and research;
2. The City of Santa Ana has no major park consisting of
more than approximately 20 acres to serve our 143,000 residents, and
the rapid physical development of open spaces, and the population
increase, make it extremely expensive and difficult to develop any
major park other than at this site;
3. Any possible use of this site by the Bureau of Prisons
would be incompatible with our environment.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Santa Ana
at its regular meeting held on the 6th day of February, 1967.
