SPACE PARK DEVELOPMENT
WHEREAS, the Nike Base, in the Second Supervisorial District, has been
identified as a park site since 1963; and
WHEREAS, the original park site was reduced from 240 acres to 85 acres
because of a desire for more industrial land in the City of Garden Grove; and

plan from open -space park land to industrial zoning in February, 1976; and
WHEREAS, the Second Supervisorial District has only one 92 -acre park
of which one (1) acre is usable as a picnic area; and
WHEREAS, this will be one of the last opportunities to acquire a park
site in the Second Supervisorial District; and
WHEREAS, the residential land planning of higher density in the local
areas was accomplished with the intent of an open -space park on the Nike
Base; and
WHEREAS, the Second Supervisorial District has only three -tenths (.3)
acre per 1,000 population, compared to the Orange County average of 4.84
acres per 1,000 population; and
WHEREAS, the City of Cypress is adamantly opposed to any consideration
being given to the location of a regional park facility on the adjacent
Arlan property located within the City of Cypress due to the large acreages
currently developed for non -tax producing public uses;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Cypress
does hereby urge the Orange County Board of Supervisors to acquire land on
the Nike Base for open -space park development.
