• Service Area 11 - Corona del Mar
Lincoln School - approximately 17 acres
The seventeen acres of playing fields at the Lincoln School site will transfer to neighborhood
park use. The existing building improvements are proposed to remain in this situation.
However, intensification of the facilities in the fields is recommended.
2. Oasis Expansion
The existing Oasis Senior Center will be expanded. Total area will be consistent with
current development and master plan studies for this public area.
Buck Gully - approximately 49.4 acres
Protection of this environmentally sensitive area is planned consistent with the Local Coastal
Plan. Public access facilities are not recommended due to difficulty in maintenance, fire

application of the Open Space Overlay zoning district would be appropriate in exchange for
increased densities on other parcels.
