ICHA Office & Community Center Reservations

As you know, federal, state and local health departments, and the UCI campus, have updated COVID-19 prevention guidance to help reduce the spread of the delta variant. Following this guidance, the ICHA office will continue to operate as it has been, with staff working hybrid schedules. There are no walk-ins to the ICHA office or the Community Center at this time. The Community Center is open for reservations for private resident and Homeowners Representative Board (HRB)-sponsored events (no campus events at this time). These rules and protocols will be updated and communicated to the community as the guidance changes. Thank you for your cooperation!

About Reservations Each reservation sponsor is responsible for implementing any required COVID-19 protocol (State of California, OC Health) practices. ICHA is not and cannot be responsible for sponsors or their guests. One (1) event per day in the Community Center (Community Room, Activity Room or Social Center/Lounge). The Community Center will be cleaned once a day.

Los Trancos Park Recreation Amenity Survey Part II Results

In the spring, ICHA and the HRB invited residents to submit ideas for potential recreation amenities for the Los Trancos Park redesign. Amenities were grouped into categories including Sports & Exercise, Gathering Spaces, Kid/Youth-Related, Nature, Infrastructure and Pool-Related. In June, Part II of the survey asked residents to indicate the desirability of the suggested amenities (the survey closed July 14, with over 500 responses collected).

The goal of the survey was to measure the intensity of attitudes (positive and negative) toward the potential amenities. All amenities scoring below a 2.5 weighted average (1 is the highest score; 4 is the lowest score) are considered in future planning. Next Steps: The HRB will appoint a member to work directly with the ICHA Planning & Construction team to develop a concrete plan for the redesign. The HRB and ICHA will work together to refine the plan based on feasibility. The goal is to implement as many of the desired amenities as possible, as was done in the Area 11 parks. Once completed, specific site plans will be shared with the entire community. We are anticipating the planning period to last 6 months at minimum. The timeline is subject to change depending on the outcome of the Area 12 proposal. Thank you for participating!
