Solution: This master plan proposes a vision to transform a brownfield site into a verdant landscape for a diversity of public uses including: transit-ori- ented development adjacent to the park, connection to nearby public transit, a sports park with multiple active recreation fields, a cultural terrace com- prised of a diversity of cultural institutions, a botanical garden, a day lighted stream, constructed wetlands, a wildlife habitat corridor, and community gar- dens/orchards. This master plan outlines the following sustainable solutions:

• Four buried watercourses crossing the site will be day-lighted and restored to a riparian state, collect stormwater runoff, promote infiltration and save over 1,000 acre feet of water from entering the storm drain system.
• Reduce the dependence on potable water for irrigation and include 75% na- tive and California-friendly non-native plants.
• Salvage, recycle and ecologically re-engineer more than 3.5 million tons of concrete and steel.
• Add over 50 miles of park trails and 200 acres of sports fields and other recreation facilities to promote a healthy and active lifestyle.
• Install over 1 Megawatt of renewable energy on site through photovoltaic cell panels and other technologies.
• Balances cut and fill on site, thereby creating topographic balance and reduc- ing construction costs.
• The Master Plan was approved by the Planning Commission of the City of Irvine in February 2008.
