City of Santa Clara
MenuPark Projects
Since September 2013, Council has prioritized the enhancement of community sports and recreational assets. Capital Improvement Project (CIP) funding has been allocated to park projects from available sources including the City’s Capital Project Reserve Fund, grants, corporate donations, and individual contributions. In addition, fees may be collected from new housing development pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act and/or Quimby Act that the City may allocate toward acquisition, development, expansion and in some cases rehabilitation of existing neighborhood and community parks (see Santa Clara City Code 17.35 “Park and Recreation Land.”) New residential developments are required to provide developed parkland and recreational amenities as a part of their residential project application and/or provide fees “in lieu” at a ratio of 2.6 acres - 3.0 acres for every 1,000 new residents. The City conducts studies and community outreach to inform the prioritization, scope and design of park projects based on available resources and legal requirements.
