INTRODUCTION 1.1. NEIGHBORHOOD SETTING The Santee/Yerba Buena neighborhood is centrally located within the City of San José and is approximately two miles east of the downtown area. Situated near the intersection of Highway 280 and U.S. Highway 101, the Santee/Yerba Buena area is one of a number of residential neighborhoods that make up the western portion of San José. For the purposes of this community assessment, the “Santee neighborhood” includes the area bounded by Story Road to the north, Holly Hill Drive to the south, Highway 101 to the east, and McLaughlin Avenue to the west. The study area shown in Figure 1-1 corresponds to the Franklin McKinley Children’s Initiative planning area, which is described in more detail below. As shown in Figure 1-2, the Santee neighborhood is located within the broader Tully/Senter Neighborhood identified by the City of San José Strong Neighborhoods Initiative (SNI). Figure 1-3 shows the Santee/ Yerba Buena as a subarea of the Tully/Senter Neighborhood in the context of 13 total focus neighborhood areas targeted by SNI in its neighborhood revitalization program. The “Tully/Senter Neighborhood Improvement Plan Amendment” characterizes the “Santee Neighborhood Area” as a community “primarily made up of fourplex apartments, Figure 1-1: Franklin McKinley Children’s Initiative Planning Area SANTEE NEIGHBORHOOD | COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS 7 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION condominiums, duplexes, row houses in a court injunction neighborhood.” The Plan identifies Fair Middle School and the Fair Swim Center as the neighborhood’s primary assets. The Plan identifies the following as the “Top Ten Priorities” for the Tully/Senter neighborhood as a whole: 1. Establish a multi-service community facility that also provides space for multi-service providers within the Santee neighborhood, which benefits the entire SNI area. 2. Conduct and implement neighborhood traffic calming studies to address pedestrian safety/access, heavy traffic volume, speeding and the aesthetics of any traffic calming devices. 3. Improve and enhance neighborhood open space. 4. Increase and enhance Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services Programming and other events in the community for children, youth and families. 5. Provide the multilingual community educational opportunities to establish their own home businesses. 6. Continue to work with the current code enforcement coordinator or “ombudsman” to address the whole range of code, blight and nuisance Figure 1-2: Tully/Senter SNI Planning Area problems present in the Tully-Senter 8 SANTEE NEIGHBORHOOD | COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Figure 1-3: Santee/Yerba Buena Subarea SANTEE NEIGHBORHOOD | COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT ANALYSIS 9 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION community.

  • Park Ranger Program Annual Report Page 2 of 8
    PSFSS COMMITTEE: 3/16/17 ITEM: (d) 3 CITY OF SAN IPSE Memorandum CAPITAL OF SILICON VALLEY TO: PUBLIC SAFETY, FINANCE, AND FROM: Angel Rios, Jr. STRATEGIC SUPPORT COMMITTEE SUBJECT: PARK RANGER PROGRAM DATE: March 8, 2017 ANNUAL REPORT Approved Date .5 A - n RECOMMENDATION Accept the 2016 Annual Report on the Park Ranger Program. BACKGROUND The City of San Jose's Park Ranger Program is an integral part of the Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services Department (PRNS). Its mission is to provide a safe, enjoyable park experience by protecting and educating the public, providing recreational opportunities, and protecting, preserving, and enhancing the natural and cultural resources of the City's parks, trails and open spaces. The Park Ranger Program has its roots in resource and visitor protection. The City established the Park Ranger Unit in 1972 after a period in the 1960's and early 1970's when San Jose's park system expanded rapidly and crime and vandalism were deterring residents from using parks. A community task force convened to address crime issues at Alum Rock Park and other neighborhood parks and recommended adding Park Rangers. Originally, Park Rangers were Auxiliary Police Officers, appointed by the Chief of Police and granted Peace Officer powers while on duty. The Park Ranger Unit provided law enforcement services along with land management and visitor services. Park Rangers underwent police academy training, and the Police Department provided them with equipment and vehicles for their work. By the late 1970's, the San Jose Police Department created a Parks Enforcement Unit to provide a higher level of enforcement (rather than arming San Jose's Park Rangers).
