COMMUNITY PARKS MASTER PLAN UPDATES
□ INFO
[R) ACTION
Approve Aviara, Pine Avenue, and Poinsettia Community Park's master plan updates and recommend City
Council acceptance.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Background
On Dec. 17, 2013, the City Council accepted the Parks & Recreation Department's needs assessment. The
report included a comprehensive action plan which has and will continue to serve as a guide for priority
development, CIP planning, and park, facility, and amenity development for a five year period.
A component of the needs assessment was to identify system wide community needs and vision. Based
on the report findings, key action items were created and divided into three groups; short term (0-3
years), midterm (4-5 years), and ongoing tasks. These three specific parks master plan updates were
undertaken based on a recommended short term action item, "Update master plans for future facilities to
ensure amenities are consistent with the community vision as identified in the needs assessment."
In May 2014, after concluding an extensive request for proposals process, PROS Consulting along with
RHA Landscape Architects-Planners, was selected to partner with staff to develop the department's
master plan updates (Exhibit 1).
Master Plan Updates to Aviara, Pine Avenue, and Poinsettia Community Parks
The purpose of the master plan updates process is to ensure that planned (and yet to be realized)
facilities and amenities at Aviara, Pine Avenue, and Poinsettia Community Parks are consistent with
community needs and with the department's long term vision -"to strengthen community connectivity
through world class offerings and exceptional customer service."
After an initial project kickoff meeting and review of all existing planning documents, staff worked with
PROS Consulting to conduct a trends analysis. The demographic projection study performed as a part of
the needs assessment was reviewed and equity maps were consulted to assess where services are offered
currently, how equitable the service distribution and delivery is across the city and how effective the
service is as it compares to population density.
