Approve the re-naming of Logan Park to Chepa's Park.
Board of Recreation and Parks Action
Recommended to the Planning Commission and the City Council to approve
the re-naming of Logan Park to Chepa' s Park by a vote of 6:0:2 at its
March 28, 2007 meeting.
DISCUSSION
Logan Park is located within the Logan Neighborhood. The Logan
Neighborhood is located just west of Interstate 5 and south of
Seventeenth Street. It borders Historic French Park Neighborhood on the
west and the Regional Transportation Center on the south. Logan Park is
rectangular in shape and is approximately .41 acres in size (Exhibits 1
and 2).
On August 26, 2006, the Logan Neighborhood Association discussed the re-
naming of Logan Park to Chepa's Park in recognition of the late
Josephine "Chepa" Andrade. On March 17, 2007, the Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Agency received a formal letter from the Logan
Neighborhood Association requesting the park name be changed to "Chepa's
Park" (Exhibit 3).
Josephine "Chepa" Andrade lived her entire life in the Logan
Neighborhood and many residents in the area referred to her as "Chepa".
She was an advocate for neighborhood improvement and was involved in
forming the Logan Neighborhood Committee that stopped the rezoning of
this small neighborhood into an industrial area. She was also involved
in the community building of Logan Park and received many recognitions
E~~T_,~
Public Facilities Naming No. 2007-01
May 14, 2007
Page 2
and awards for her community involvement (Exhibit 4). A petition from
over 70 residents was also submitted to the city supporting the re-
naming of the park to Chepa's Park (Exhibit 5).
Sections 33-5 and 33-6 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code identify the
criteria for the naming of streets and public facilities. The criteria
include the consideration of a name which serves to identify the location
of the subject area, a name which references the history of the site or
area, a name which identifies a person or family which made extraordinary
donation of land or funds to promote the improvement of the public
facility, or a name which recognizes a person or family who made a
significant contribution to the well being of the city, including city
council, commissioners, officers and employees of the city, but not anyone
who currently holds such position.
To attain public input on the re-naming of the park, a meeting was held on
August 26, 2006 with the Logan Neighborhood Association and on March 28,
2007 with the Board of Recreation and Parks. At these meetings, the
public expressed the various awards Chepa received for her dedicated
community service to Santa Ana and expressed support for the re-naming of
the park.
The proposed name change was presented to the Board of Recreation and
Parks on March 28, 2007. Chepa's Park meets the public facilities naming
criteria established in the Santa Ana Municipal Code and was unanimously
approved. As a result, staff recommends that the Planning Commission
approve Chepa's Park as the new name for the park.
CEQA Compliance
This project was reviewed in accordance with the Guidelines for the
California Environmental Quality Act. The recommendation is exempt from
further review pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) The park renaming is
covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which
have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
The park renaming will not have any significant impacts on the
environment and is therefore not subject to CEQA.

This letter is in regards, to a request in changing, the Logan Park name W CYepa's Pack, in recognition of
the late Josephice Andrade (Chaps) whom resided her whole/full Gfe ce Logan Shell, in Santa Ana
This request is endorsed by the Logan Neighborhood Association, previous and cinreat residents of the
Logan neighborhood, family and friends. A signed petition is also enclosed.
Chepa's family moved to the Logan neighbor before she was bom in 1918. l:hepa was bom 12/16/26 and
resided on Logan until she passed 4/17/06. She significantly contributed to her community her entire life
and started at ate early age of 8. At that young age she weal from door to door collecting money to help a
neighborhood family with food, when their father was not able to work due to an accident. Chepa married
a neighbor boy Jce Andrade, whose family also resided on Logan since 1916. They raised their 6 children
on Logan and they always had great pride in their family and thev rnighbothood.
Chepa was a community activist and was known for gathering signatures for petitions and
persuading/encouraging neighbors to attend City Hall. In the late 1980's Chepa took the lead in a newly
formed Logan Neighborhood Committee, the purpose was to stop the rezoning of the family oriented
neighborhood into m industrial pads. She advocated for neighborhood improvements, and
was involved innumerous community projects, such as:
• Neighborhood watch
• Logan Community Center and after school progams
• Toys for Tots for neighborhood children
• PTA
• Food Bags
• Development of Logan Park
• Annual Trash Bins
• Street re-pavement
• Unconstitutional traffic barriers/diverters in French Park & French Court
• Logan Neighborhood Reunions- keep neighborhood history alive for the oldest Santa Ana Barrio
Chepa received many recognitions and awards for her community involvement. Most of them her family is
not aware of, due to she did not display or talk about them. However, later is her life the family either went
with her or went on her behalf to accept the tributes bestowed upon their mother/grandmother. They
included the Poverty Fighter Hero Award and the Joan of ARC Award
Attached is a list of the last few aclmowledgments know to the family.
In conclusion Chepa's family, friends and community are asking for your approval in changing the name of
Logan Park to Chepa's Park, in Josephine Andrade's memory far all she accomplished m making the
Logan neighborhood a much better place to live.
Sincerely,
