Public Facilities Naming (Frank and Irene Palomino Park)

The City of Santa Ana has formally renamed Rosita Park located at 706 N. Newhope Street to Frank and Irene Palomino Park under project number PFN-2026-0001, a ministerial action that qualifies for exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15268 due to its purely administrative and ceremonial nature with no physical alterations or environmental impact. The renaming was approved on July 13, 2026, and officially filed on July 16, 2026, with the Orange County Clerk-Recorder and the State Clearinghouse, accompanied by a Notice of Exemption and supporting documentation including a California Department of Fish and Wildlife determination of no effect and a cash receipt for a $0.00 filing fee. All administrative tasks were managed by the City of Santa Ana’s Planning & Building Agency, with Assistant Planner I Byron Luk listed as the primary point of contact and the City itself as the project applicant. No federal acquisition regulations or clauses apply, as this is a local government action governed solely by CEQA procedures, and there is no procurement value, contract type, or bidding process involved. The project required no performance period, delivery schedule, or payment obligations beyond the routine filing and recordation of official documents. The renaming is effective upon approval, with all municipal databases, signage, and records to be updated accordingly. The action was completed via paper-based filing, with no electronic submission systems or digital requirements, and no special contractual conditions, inspection criteria, or quality standards were applicable beyond the administrative compliance with CEQA exemptions.
