WReferred to:
^ Date: March 18, 1975
Submitted by:
Planning Commission
Subject: Request for approval of the Parks and' Recreation
Element of the General Plan
Applicant: cu Qf Car1sbad _ _ ^_, . . — . __
Statement of the Matter: The draft of the proposed Parks and Recreation Element
was presented to the Planning Commission at a Public Hearing on February 25,
1975. The proposed Parks and Recreation Element was approved with three
recommended changes, two of those in wording only. These recommended changes
have been incorporated in the draft forwarded to the City Council.
One additional recommended change is that only pages 1 through 26 be adopted
as a part of the General Plan. The balance of the plan should be made
available as an appendix to the document. A reference, perhaps in the table
of contents, noting that the appendix material is available should also be
included. .
The planning Commission is recommending approval of the Parks and Recreation
Element of the General Plan.
Exhibit:
Parks and Recreation Element Draft
Planning Commission Resolution No. 1138
Staff Recommendations to City Manager: staff recommends that the Parks and
Recreation Element of the General Plan be approved for reasons outlined
in Planning Commission Resolution No. 1138. If the City Council concurs
with the Planning Commission recommendation, the Council should direct
the City Attorney to prepare the necessary documents.
,„ „ ^ March 18, 1975A3 No. Date:
City Manager's Recommendation
The Council has on this agenda an item relating to the
establishment of General Plan Review and dates. Since
the Park and Recreation Element is technically an
amendment to an existing General Plan Element, you
cannot make a decision without utilizing one of your
three annual General Plan amendment options. This
matter was inadvertently advertised for public hearing,
. prior to the staff making recommendations on the General
Plan amendment dates.
It is therefore recommended that the Council consider one
of the two alternatives in handling this matter. It can
be filed at this time without-a public hearing and the
staff will readvertise it along with the Circulation
Element and the Goals Element in May, 1975; or you may
hold the public hearing at this time, receiving any
testimony that may be offered but postpone actual .adoption
of the Plan until the May, 1975 General Plan amendment date.
Council Action
3-18-75 By motion of the Council the matter was ordered filed.
4-20-75 It was moved that the matter be continued to the regular
meeting:- of June 3, 1975.
6-3-75 By motion, the matter was continued to the regular meeting
of June 17, 1975.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Special recognition should be given to the Citizens Committee
(Mr. R. W. Sullivan, Chairman) and to the Parks and Recreation
Commission (Mr. Eric Larson, Chairman) for the time and effort
they spent in reviewing and preparing this plan. These two
groups, comprised of citizens of Carlsbad, volunteered their
services to become part of the parks and recreation planning
process. They both met regularly with the consultant and
City staff to develop, discuss and approve the goals, policies
and principles of this document.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
The committee had found that Carlsbad has 8.5 acres of park
land that is developed and city owned.
The City of Carlsbad has been experiencing rapid growth and
the demand for parks and recreation areas has increased.
Fortunately, the City has been able to acquire park sites.
There are approximately 54 acres of existing park sites
throughout the City awaiting development. These range in
park type from neighborhood to community parks. Other pro-
posed parks can add an additional 823 acres to the parks and
recreation facilities. Many of these facilities are planned
as regional in nature or special use such as Equestrian Center,
Motorcycle Center or the Calavera Park and the HUB Center.
There may be possible County participation on some of the
regional developments.
ANALYSIS OF EXISTING FACILITIES
The existing parks and recreation facilities are parks and
recreation sites owned by the City, sites that the City has
acquired through lease or other arrangement, recreation facili-
ties at the local schools, or parks and recreation facilities
supplied by the State of California. Table II describes all
the facilities within the parks and recreation system and
classifies them as to size, type of facility and the character
of development.
At the present time the City has the use of approximately 500
acres of land that is developed for parks and recreation pur-
poses. Of this, only 8.5 acres belong within the City parks
and recreation system. The Carlsbad Beach State Park and the
South Carlsbad Beach State Park make up approximately 64 acres
of the existing park lands. While this beach facility is
regional in nature, it does also provide much special use or
neighborhood park functions, particularly for those people who
live within walking or bicycling distance from the beach.

I. INTRODUCTION
This plan sets forth goals, policies and guidelines which shall
serve as a guide for the acquisition and development of a city-
wide system of parks and recreation areas.
Recreation enriches our people and strengthens our community—
socially and economically. Some of our most meaningful words
and life experiences—happiness, fulfillment, creativeness,
adventure, challenge, identity, recognition, accomplishment,
satisfaction, self-expression, contentment, acceptance, friends,
companionship, health, democracy—are identified today with
recreation.
We live in a time of great social, physical and economic change
and challenge. These impacts affect all people. Within this
change leisure and recreation are critical and interwoven seg-
ments that must be considered for the well-being of our indivi-
dual citizens and for each social group to which they belong.
It is vital to gauge these changes, as well as our current pro-
jected situation and to estimate their impact, in order to pro-
vide for our recreational needs tomorrow, next vear, and for the
next twenty years and beyond.
In themselves, these changing patterns of life and the necessity
to provide for these human needs are not unique to our time;
however, the rapid urbanization of our City and the concurrent
disappearing open space; the rise in land and development costs
compounded by changes in leisure, work, mobility, economics, etc.,
calls for close attention to this element of our planning.
These challenges, brought about by accelerated scientific and
technological advances and by decreasing natural resources,
have our society embarking into the "future shock" that is being
increasingly felt as we face the stress which accompanies this
change.
As stress accumulates, increased and new demands are placed upon
our society to provide facilities and programs to meet or provide
an "outlet" to constructively meet the needs of our citizens.
Socially and economically it is difficult to provide our people
with all the skills, training, programs, and facilities to cope
with this challenge. These facilities must be supplied for the
full spectrum of activities from physical to cultural and fine
arts.
The fact is that people will attempt to meet their needs in their
leisure. As we have seen from other societies, past and present,
we cannot afford the expense and problems incurred when positive
means have not been provided to meet these needs. On the other
hand, significant economic and social benefits can be realized by
providing for these needs.
PR 1
The ever increasing speed and complexity of our lives, accom-
panied by the changes and demands described, command the wise
use of leisure both as a period of recovery and of recreating,
revitalizing, completing, and enriching the lives of our people.
Therefore, we should carefully review the words and meanings that
are synonymous with recreation. It is toward these most signifi-
cant ends and the aspects of the "good life" which they describe
that the recreation facilities of the City of Carlsbad are aimed.

A. STATE LAW - PARKS AND RECREATION ELEMENT
The General Plan of the City of Carlsbad may include a recreation
element of any part or phase of the element. It is not a mandatory
element of the General Plan.
The Government Code reads as follows concerning the recreation
element:
"A recreation element (of the General Plan) showing a
comprehensive system of areas and public sites for
recreation, including the following and, when practicable,
their locations and proposed development:
1. Natural reservations
2. Parks
3. Parkways
4. Beaches
5. Playgrounds
6. Other recreation areas
B. INTENT AND CHARACTER OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION ELEMENT
This document, the Parks and Recreation Element of the General
Plan, is a guide for the acquisition and development of a city-
wide system of parks and recreation areas, and for the coordin-
ation of the recreation programs of government, private
organizations, and individuals. The Parks and Recreation
Element emphasizes the importance of public recreation and
the development of the city's potential resources in estab-
lishing needed recreation programs and the quality of the
living environment of this city.
The plan:
1. Sets forth goals, policies, and guidelines.
2. Presents methods of preserving recreation open
space and solving park space deficiencies and
outlines specific methods for implementing the
plan.
3. Identifies opportunities for access linkages
which ties the recreation areas together by
closely coordinating park site selection and
the adopted Open Space and Conservation Elements.
PR 3
4. Includes recommendations and cost estimates
for acquistion and development of additional
recreation sites.
5. Coordinates the role or function of each recreation
area as it relates to the total park and recreation
system.
6. Projects long-range maintenance and operational
costs for each existing and proposed site.
7. Defines the recreation program responsibilities
of the city in light of community needs and
resources.
8. Estimates the scope and cost of implementing a
community recreation program to meet the above
responsibilities.
C. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER ELEMENTS
Special concern has been taken to specifically design and
coordinate the Parks and Recreation Element with the Land Use,
Open Space, and Conservation Elements.
Residential densities established in the Land Use Element have
been related to the type and size of recreation areas. The Open
Space and Conservation Elements reflect recreation design prin-
ciples in that formal recreation areas are utilized as recreation
cores and open space linkages tie these core areas together.
Flood plains, seismic areas, utility easements, and scenic high-
way corridors are utilized as linear recreation and scenic
amenity corridors.
The Circulation Element was used, at least in part, to establish
some degree of barrier for service area of park and recreation
units.

II. PARKS AND RECREATION STANDARDS AND NEEDS FOR CARLSBAD
A. RECOMMENDED PARKS AND RECREATION STANDARDS
As stated in the County-wide Local Park Program, "while there
is no definitive standard for measuring recreation services,
the ability of a park system to accommodate increasing use
and to adapt to changing recreational preferences is most
directly related to the amount and location of the park land.
Thus, an adequate standard based on park size, service radius,
population served, and acres per thousand population, with
built in flexibility to adopt to varying communities, will be
most likely to remain a viable guide."
After consideration of the density and intensity of Carlsbad's
likely future land use, the goals and aspirations of citizens
for their city, and the likely future ability of the city to
pay for quality recreational services, it is recommended that
the city give consideration in its planning to the standards
developed and presented in the County-wide Local Park Program
and adopted in the County's Recreation Element as included in
Table I. It is clear that these standards, for the most part,
are appropriate considering the city's topography, future land
use pattern, economy, fortuitous possession of public and quasi-
public lands, and population and housing characteristics. These
standards are basically consistent with the standards developed
by the National Recreation and Park Association, the California
Department of Parks and Recreation, and the U.S. Outdoor
Recreation Resources Review Commission. These organizations
have done the greatest amount of basic research relating demo-
graphic characteristics, recreational desires, and recreational
facilities and space standards.
An overall standard of 30 acres per thousand persons should be
given consideration, of which half should be devoted to regional
facilities and half, or approximately 15 acres per thousand
persons, devoted to local facilities. The local park standard
includes a combination of local parks, riding and hiking trails,
school play areas (where designed for public recreational use),
and other public facilities which meet part of the need for
local recreational facilities. The actual allocation within
the local park standard will vary within the needs and priorities
of the Service Districts^identified in Carlsbad's Parks and
Recreation Element.
B. SITE SELECTION STANDARDS
1. Local Park Site Selection Standards
The State Legislature approved Business and Pro-
fessions Code Section 11546, the park land dedica-
tion statute, specifying that the governing body
PR 5
of a citv or county mav bv ordinance reauire the
dedication of land, the payment of fees in lieu
thereof, or a combination of both, for park or
recreational purposes as a condition to the approval
of a final subdivision map, provided that (among
other requirements):
"(b) The ordinance includes definite standards for
determining the proportion of a subdivision
to be dedicated and the amount of any fee to
be paid in lieu thereof."
"(d) The legislative body has adopted a general
plan containing a recreational element, and
park and recreation facilities are in accor-
dance with definite principles and standards
contained therein."
In conformance with this statute, the Park Dedica-
tion Ordinance includes standards determining land
and fee requirements. In addition, considering
the acreage dedication reauirement, the following
standards should be utilized in selecting sites
for parks, and are specified as guidelines govern-
ing the acceptance of land dedicated to satisfy
the Park Dedication Ordinance No. 9190.
2. Neighborhood Park Site Selection Standards
a. Ideally the neighborhood Dark should be
located in the center of a neighborhood with
equal population on all sides. Preferably it
should be surrounded by homes, several blocks
deep, but if so it should be improved in a
manner equal to the vard improvements of its
neighbors.
b. The site should have water, storm drains,, sewers
and electricity available.
c. The site itmst have access to local streets.
d. Slope Standards for site:
Maximum slope of 6% over 60% of the area.
Maximum slope of 10% over 30% of the area.
— Maximum slope of 30% over 10% of the area.
1/2 Park Dedication Ordinance credit for
slope areas greater than 30%.
PR 6
e. The site should provide at least two (2) acres
of land for park developmentt where possible,
f. The service area should not be divided by natural
or artificial barriers such as arterial highways,
railroads, freeways and commercial or industrial
areas which would render the site inaccessible
or undesirable as a neighborhood park. (The
neighborhood park is primarily designed for con-
venient pedestrian access with a great number of
youthful users who should not be reauired to cross
these barriers to get to the park facilities.)
g. Desirable Service Area Radius:
Optimum: 1/4 - 3/8 mile service radius.
Maximum: 1/2 mile in urban area
1 mile in estate residential area
h. Neighborhood parks should be located adjacent
to elementary school sites where possible.
If a. site is to be-selectedfor a ^neighbor- ,'
hood park, the first consideration should be whether
the existing school has adecruate play space to serve
both its own educational recruirements and the needs
of its neighborhood for playground space. If not,
the best location for a public neighborhood park
would be adjacent to the school site—provided,
of course, that the property adjacent is reasonably
attainable.
i. A site for neighborhood park purposes adjacent
to a school should be of such size and demin-
sions as would accommodate the conventional outdoor
play activities and facilities that can be used by
preschools, adults and senior citizens during the
day while school is in session with due consideration
of convenience of the school, safety of users and of
neighbors, and aesthetics of the neighborhood.
j. Since it will be desirable to provide facilities
on such a school connected, but city-owned, neighbor-
hood park for preschool children, older children
and adults, the area should be large enough to allow
separation of groups (especially of senior citizens
in their outdoor recreational activities) with "buffer"
treatment to provide separation.
PR 7
k. Every neighborhood park should have park-like
features, with grassed surface, shrubs and trees,
border landscaping, and as much more as the size
of the site will permit.
1. The site should ideally be of sufficient size
to include a recreation building unless adjacent
school facilities can be so appointed and operated
to take care of this need.
m. Should a neighborhood site apart from a school
be desired, it should be so located as to serve
a neighborhood removed from the school site.
This would afford such a neighborhood with services
which are in some respects supplied by the school
to its immediate environs.
n. The site for a neighborhood park, especially when
not attached to a school, should have street footage.
Improvement of the streets is as important to the
park as to a homesite. If located in a well-built-
up neighborhood, where adjacent streets are not
sufficient for parking, the site should have a parking
lot. The site should have sufficient level land to
permit the conventional games to be played on grassed
surfaces and paved courts and picnic areas. Addition-
al land for park-like treatment need not necessarily
be level, in fact some undulation of terrain is ad-
vantageous .
o. A site must always be considered in relation
to its soil both as to fertility and suitability
for recreational activities. Adequate drainage is
also important.
3. Community Park Site Selection Standards
a. A community is a group of neighborhoods. The com-
munity park may include within itself the essential
neighborhood park and playground facilities; but it
is intended to provide additional facilities not
capable of being supplied to all neighborhoods. To
serve its purpose well, it should have a minimum size
of approximately 20 acres.
b. The site must have water, sewer, electricity and storm
drains available.
c. The site should have access to an arterial street.
Slope Standards:
PR 8
Maximum slope of 6% over 50% of the area.
Maximum slope of 10% over 30% of the area.
Maximum slope of 30% over 20% of the area.
1/2 Credit for slope areas greater than 30%
d. The site should provide at least 20 acres for park
development.
e. Besirafele Service Area Radius:
Minimum: 1/2 - 3 miles service radius.
f. Community parks may be located adjacent to junior
or senior high school sites and should be located
near a traffic artery or feeder street where possible.
g. The site should be accessible to the people of the
community by foot travel, bicycle or short automobile
run. Preferably it should be surrounded by residential
neighborhoods.
h. The site should be of such size and conformation as
to permit the development of sports fields and courts,
children's play areas, green areas for assembly and
picnics, special unit for senior citizens' activities,
swimming pool, clubhouse, border and buffer landscaping,,
cultural center, recreation center, water features if
practicable, interior parking lots, and other facilities
designated for populations of over 10,000 people —
excluding large city-wide facilities.
i. The existence of unique indigenous flora, geologic
formations or ecological systems sometimes commends
a site for selection as a community park, especially
if it possesses additional open land for functional
development.
j. All community parks need not be similar in all respects.
Community differences and adaptability of the sites
to unique development will indicate variable planning.
k. A high school complex, while meeting some of the needs
of the community park, rarely can satisfy all or most
of the requirements needed in communitv parks. In-
tegration and joint planning of high school and park
is frequently advisable where this will not create
problems for the school program and facilities or
park users and facilities.
PR 9
4. Special Purpose Parks
a. Because of the unique uses associated with special
purpose parks, standards cannot be applied.

C. PARKS AND RF . i'lON NEEDS
Recreational guidelines, in terms of land for local and
regional parks, can be logically related to population
projections and other demographic and geographic factors.
1. A projected population of 208,291 (an averacre of the
maximum/minimum densities from Table I of the Land Use
Element) planned use of 15 acres per thousand for local
parks would require 2,010 acres for active recreation
purposes and 1,110 acres for passive recreation.
The major recreation day use activities will require a
peak use design capacity for 13,954 persons and a capacitv
of 2,450 persons for overnight use.
Translating these generalized park needs into specifics,
it is anticipated that 210 playlots and vest pocket
parks, 60 neighborhood parks, and 9 community parks, or
a total of 3,120 acres would be reoruired.
2. The city has approximately 500 acres of land devoted to
parks and recreation purposes. These may be categorized
as follows:
8.5 City owned parks
3.7 Privately owned (public use)
. .. 373.0 Lagoons (State and privately owned)
68.2 Beaches (State and County owned)
46.6 School yards and recreation facilities
500.0
3. There are approximately 877 acres of land which have been
acquired or have been identified for possible parks and
recreation use. Fifty-four (54) acres of this total
have been dedicated to the city and require development.
Eight-hundred twenty-three (823) acres have been identified
for possible park use and should be acquired and developed.
Table II provides more detailed information. Parks and
Recreation Element Exhibit 'A1 portrays all existing and
proposed parks within the Citv of Carlsbad.
4. The total land which has been dedicated to, or has been
identified as, potential parks is 1,377 (500 + 877),
acres or 6.6 acres per thousand population. Thus, 1,742
additional acres, or 8.4 acres per thousand population,
would have to be dedicated to public use if a planning goal
to achieve a goal of 15 acres per thousand population is used.
Part of this "short-fall" can be offset by the 253 plus acres
of future school areas, consisting of open space, play area
and athletic facilities, which may be used by the public
during non-school hours. Additional privately funded but
publicly utilized areas such as golf courses, campgrounds,
parks, fountains, raceways, and lagoon development may furhter
reduce this short-fall and contribute to the goal of 15 acres
per thousand population for the City of Carlsbad.

III. GOALS
A goal is a desired state or condition toward which effort is
directed. It is an ultimate end to work toward, although it
may not be immediately or completely attained. Within the
goal to provide a recreation environment for optimum human
expression and development, the following sub-goals or ob-
jectives have been defined for the City of Carlsbad.
A. Provide a full, balanced and readily accessible program
of facilities and activities to meet the needs of
persons of all ages, physical conditions and socio-
economic situations.
B. Enhance neighborhood livability, positive interaction
and personal expression, health, enrichment and develop-
ment through a complete spectrum of recreational
activities.
C. Develop an appreciation of nature by expanding the
opportunity for contact with the outdoors.
D. Develop an appreciation of cultural fine arts by providing
programs and the opportunity to learn and use skills in
dance, drama, art, music and other performing arts.
E. Develop an appreciation of athletics,, sports and physical
exercise, health and well-being, by providing training in
the skills of and the opportunity to participate in these
activities.
F. Provide a balanced park and recreation system which
recognizes Carlsbad's facility needs, climate and other
physical amenities.
G. To the degree possible, work toward seeing that land is
acquired and facilities are developed on a "pay-as-you-go"
basis. This cost should be prorated back to the people
who will use and enjoy these facilities via the city's
park land dedication or in-lieu fee ordinance. Facilities
not directly serving new living units should be provided
by other revenues collected from persons who enjoy Carlsbad's
recreational amenities on a city-wide basis. As an example,
such funds may include transient or motel-hotel taxes, sales
taxes and park taxes.
H. Provide needed recreation facilities within reasonable
access of all residents.
I. Maximize the function and use of parks by locating them
next to the schools where this is in the best interest
of the citizens and service.
PR 18
J. Through physical development, create an invigorating,
refreshing atmosphere in the City's parks.
K. As a "people-oriented, social service", parks should be
financed by methods which enable all residents to enjoy
an adequate level of service. The level of service
provided should depend on the total wealth of the total
City and not on the fortuitous location of wealthy resi-
dents or of taxable property.
L. Wherever possible and best for providing service, local
parks should be located adjacent to school sites, thereby
augmenting the open space facilities and recreational
aspects of the school facilities.
PR 19
IV. POLICIES
Policy is a widely used term with many connotations. Basically,
policy may be considered as an expression of guidelines for

A. Promote the cooperation of all private and governmental
entities in achieving the acquisition and development
of needed public facilities and programs based on a

affected area.
G. Develop within each site, facilities that are attractive,
pleasant, functional and safe.
H. Acquire sites and develop facilities to provide for special
recreation needs including: passive and acf,ive recreation
parks, nature areas, aquatic, and athletic facilities, motor

areas for outdoor relaxation, exercise and socialization
as appropriate to the specific subdivision plan.
PR 22
V. ACTION PROGRAM
The adoption of specific goals is to indicate an action pro-

PR 25
VI. THE PARKS AND RECREATION PLAN
Following the background information concerning goals,
policies, and a determination of needs, an analysis of
the physical properties of parks and recreation is needed.
A. SERVICE DISTRICTS
The City of Carlsbad has been divided into several service
districts for parks and recreation administrative functions
and to provide the best possible local services. There is
also an area called the "HUB"—the future center of major
city-wide recreation activities.
Recreation HUB
The concept of a central HUB serving the several recreation
districts is an axiom of the Carlsbad Parks and Recreation
Plan. Some of the basic advantages of this plan are outlined
as follows:
The HUB is centrally located to population areas
and service districts.
Utility easements, roadways, trails and some water
courses extend from parts of various districts into
the general area of the HUB.
The HUB and the several parks and recreation districts are
designed to function as a unit. However, the more broad
based parks and recreation programs will be located in the
HUB.
The following is a list of factors relating to the develop-
ment of the service districts:
1. The service districts will create a device whereby
recreation monies derived from construction of new
residential units will receive parks and recreation
benefits within their immediate area. The monies
will not be distributed on an even basis throughout
the city.
2. These districts will allow a measuring device that
is smaller than the entire city whereby recreation
demands and needs can be pinpointed, thus allowing
built-in neighborhood areas.
3. The boundaries of the park districts which emanate
from the proposed HUB on the San Diego Gas and Electric
property will take advantage of the utility easements
that emanate from the HUB. These utility easements,
in conjunction with streets, can provide physical
connectors between the recreation areas.
4. The districts create an administrative device to
help develop the recreation HUB.
PR 26
The HUB Park
It is the intent of the parks and recreation plan to make
the HUB park a major activity center. The central location
allows physical contact or trail linkages to the Service
districts.
The HUB park is intended to comprise at least 100 acres. It
is anticipated that the easterly portion of the Sain Diego
Gas and Electric multiple use utility corridor area be used
as the basis for the HUB. Some private land may be acquired,
however.
Proposed parks and recreation uses in the HUB park would
include a full range of opportunities. The HUB will function
as a community-regional style facility.
The following is a list of potential development at the HUB
park:
Parks and recreation headquarters
Parks and recreation - maintenance headquarters
— Community building
Theatre arts building
Multipurpose rooms and gym
Multipurpose recreation courts
Water oriented sports and activities
Play apparatus
Open free play area
Softball diamonds
Tennis courts
— Picnic areas
Riding - hiking trails
Model airplane area
Little League fields

Soccer fields
