I EXECUTIQE SUMMARY
INTENT OF STUDY
Purpose
The city requested that a study be conducted to determine the best possible recreational land use for approximately 502 acres of land in the center of the city. This study is the first specific study of the total 502 acres of private and public owned land for a city wide park.
Study Area
The assigned study area includes the following parcels of land:
. Macario Canyon - 288 acres, approximately . HUB (leased S.D.G.&E. property) - 92 acres, approximately . Kelly property - 50 acres, approximately . S.D.G.&E. property - 72 acres, approximately
Site Description
The site is undeveloped with gentle to steep sloping terrain ranging from sea level to an approximate elevation of 235 feet.
The study area includes environmentally sensitive lagoon shore, wetlands, and canyon lands.
The site can be described as having three areas of experience - the flat open wetland area, the gentle to steep slopes and restricted linear beach along Agua Hedionda Lagoon and Macario Canyon with ravine: plateaus, ridge7 ine and canyon floor. These three distinctly differenl environments provide opportunities and constraints which are to be explored in this study.
INTERAGENCY INTEREST AND COOPERATION
A number of existing documents and/or agency policies affect the study area: I Documents
. Carlsbad General Plan . Carlsbad Local Coastal Program . Agua Hedionda Specific Plan . Parks and Recreation Element, 1975

Agencies
. Coastal Commission . . Department of Fish & Game San Diego Gas & Electric I
These documents and agencies establ ished constraints and opportunities for the planning of the study area. Major issues that are to be dealt with include preservation of wildlife and vegetation, and compatibility of proposed land uses with each other and with existing conditions which are to be sustained. Major guidelines include developing recreation oriented land uses, which support on-going natural systems - wetlands, Agua Hedionda Lagoon, riparian areas - recognizing the limitations created by major man-made elements, i .e. utility easements and agricultural land and natural physical site constraints - i.e. slopes, soils, hydrology.
DESIGN PROCESS
The design process to propose the best recreation land use for the study area included a site analysis, identification of recreation activities and an evaluation of land uses which would be most feasible for the site. The site analysis/inventory included inventory of the sites physical conditions including slopes, geology, soils, hydrology, wild1 ife, vegetation and archeology and other site characteristics including airport noise, utilities, view points and access. information was analyzed and synthesized into a map of constraints and opportunities for the entire 502 acre study area. This plan served as the base from which the land use plan was established. Recreation activities were identified through the following processes, record of initial city desi res, ci ti Zen survey , and recommendations from the consultant team based on past experience. generated a shopping list of activities from which a defined design
program was established through process of weighing each use according to its physical and economic feasibility within the study area. The final design program includes the following recreation activities to be established by public (PU) and/or private (PR) investment.

I DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The development plan is a synthesis of a1 ternate 1 and-use diagrams exploring how the design program elements could best be located to maximize physical site conditions. A final presentation development plan was developed at 400 scale deliniating the complete park plan identifying all of the elements of the design program.
The development plan defines three distinct land use areas in which the design program elements previously listed occur:
.
I
1. Lagoon and Beach - for boating, limited beach activity and access along the south shore of the lagoon.
2. Natural and Agricultural Preserves - cultivated crop land on S.D.G.&E. property and natural preserves including the wet1 and and archeological sites, for nature and historical study through control1 ed circulation and observation areas.
Canyon - Macario Canyon for active and passive recreation provided by both pub1 ic and privately supported facil ittes.
The phasing recommended for the implementation of the development plan is based on a fifteen year program. For the first five years land would be used for non-intensive recreation activities - nature study, and cross country running and boating - low key investment type uses establishing site identity. For the remaining ten years the phasing program would respond to demand from recreational services providing for intensive land uses requiring major public and private investment.
1st Year - Land acquisition and leases, establish access points, site planning.
2nd Year - Establish rough access roads, initial interpretive facility, boat launch, sign trails and important site features, initiate tree planting program (perimeter, uti1 ity buffer).
facility, initial parking, initial water lines, continue tree planting, prepare construction documents for roads and bui 1 ding pads.
3.
The phasing program sequence foll ows:
3rd Year - Expand interpretive facility, initial park administration
4th Year - Initial playfields and picnic, initial utility spine.
5th Year - Continue utilities, initial controlled entry points, restrooms , pave roads, compl ete pl ayf i el ds .
6th Year - Add picnic facilities, initial athletic center.

ECONOMICS
The development plan mixes public and private investments to create a unique recreation facility for Carlsbad.
Tne development plan phasing/implementation program is based on a gradual long-term build out. The recreation opportunities of this development plan are to be provided through a combined economic investment of both public and private funds. Cost components for the first five years without inflation are summarized below with a detailed table of investments program and distribution of program I effort in the report:
. . Capital improvements - $2,513,000 .
Acquisition and leases - $2,015,000
Maintenance operation and administration - $1,255,000
The public/private investment program for the full 15 year development period is summarized in three five year increments as follows with detailed tables of costs and revenues in the report.
1st five years $ 5,278,000 $ 215,000 $ 5,493,000 I 3rd five years $ 1,845,000 17,505,000 $1 9,350,000

The revenue potential is primarily based on the benefits of privately devel oped faci 1 i ties in the park with secondary revenues generated from private donation and user fees from organized recreation activities. The primary potential revenues for private facilities include:
. Ground rent contracts . Public facilities fees . Possessory interest real estate tax . Percentage of sales tax, property tax, and hotel guest tax
The secondary revenues generated from donation and user fees would be sought to defray operations costs. Donations would be encouraged from organizations that would benefit from the proposed facilities and related programs provided by the park (i .e. interpretive center - nature/hi story; sensitive habitats - wildlife, vegetation, archeology, botanical gardens and scout facilities). recreation facilities (i.e. athletic fields, group picnic, botanical garden , interpretive center/museum) and for organized recreational activities (i .e. entry fees to major competitions, tournaments, company events, and nature study and botanical courses , wal ks) .

The intent of this Report is to determine the best possible recreational
land use for the Macario Canyon property and related areas including
the S.D,G.&E. and Kelly properties, totaling approximately 502 acres.
The city nas envisioned the site as a Special Resource/Community Park.
To propose recreational land uses, consideration will be given to environmen
site factors which affect the project area and to governing issues
and policies established by a number of jurisdictions. These physical
site factors, political jurisdictions with current city desires , are
the foundation for constraints and opportunities of the site that will
be examined to establish the best uses to meet public needs, and to be
environmental ly sensitive to site and surroundings.
Privately owned land within the study area, S.d.G.&E, and Kelly
properties, will not be subject to the uses proposed in this stu-dy
unless the city obtains ownership of these lands or the proposed uses
are acceptable to the land owners.

that the project includes all the above areas. The park land lies
partially in the City of Carlsbad and in the county of San Diego and
all 502 acres are within the coastal zone as established by the
California State Coastal Commission.
Macario Canyon Park is located approximately 30 miles north of the City
of San Diego and within I mile of the coastline. The site is primarily
undeveloped, with gentle to steep sloping terrain ranging from sea
level to an approximate elevation of 235 feet. A major portion of the
site is presently designated by the Carlsbad Local Coastal Plan (LCP)
as Planned Agriculture (agriculture and low density residential uses) -
Other portions of land covered under the Agua Hedionda Specific Plan
identifies the area south of the lagoon as Open Space and the area
northeast of the lagoon as a wild life preserve area. Land to the
south of the park site is currently used for agriculture.
Lagoon extends along a portion of the site's northerly boundary.
To the east of the site lies land to be developed as industrial; to
the southeast the Palornar Airport. North of Macario is undeveloped

A number of existing documents and/or agency policies affect the Macario
area. These include: The Carlsbad General Plan, Carlsbad Local Coastal
Program, Agua Hedionda Specific Plan, Department of Fish and Game and the
existing Parks and Recreation Element 7975.
Together, the policies established in and by these documents and agencies
determined the ground rules and conditions that were considerations in
land planning the Macario area.

Engineering - The shrink-swell behavior of the soil effects the
stability of buildings and roads and is important
in determining appropriate construction practices.
Soils within the study area are characterized by moderate to very slow
permeability, moderate to severe erodibility, and low to high shrink/
swell behavior.
E. HYDROLOGY
The Macario area is a part of the Agua Hedionda drainage basin. The
basin is 28 square miles (17,900 acres) and has an average slope of
35 feet per mile and is located within the Carlsbad 210 square mile
hydrologic unit.
The major drainage within the study area is Macario Canyon which
contains a central stream course, and several smaller tributaries
that is a significant contribution of water and sediment to the
Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Major changes to the flow of this drainage
could create adverse impacts in the wetland and tidal mud flat area.
Further discussion of hydrology occurs in the hydrologic inventory of

VI CONSTRAINTS & OPPORTUNITIES
In this area that is characterized by rolling hills with broad, curving
canyons opening into a wetland and mudflat area, there are a number of
physical constraints ana opportunities.
k CoNSTRAtNTs
The major constraints include landslide areas, steep slopes, major utility
easements, airport and freeway noise, agriculture (existing and class I1
soil) , biologically sensitive areas, and archealogical sites. I
. Landslide areas are characterized by unstable soil and geology
that can be left untouched or engineered to accommodate improvemen
A major limitation is the cost of engineering required to acnieve
a stable site.
. Steep slopes are aefinea in the LCP as slopes 20% and greater,
development is discouraged in these areas by the LCP.
Major easements for overhead utility lines traverse the site.
land under these lines must be limited to short term uses; the
utility towers have nigh visual impact and are potential safety

To develop the Land-use Feasibility Map, site inventory plans were used
to determine the areas of land with the least number of non-mitigatable
natural and man-made constraints. Upon identification of these areas and
the review of coastal zone policies that govern them, areas were rated fo
recreational development from highly feasible to feasible and infeasible.
The hiqhly feasible land for recreational development is the major canyon
floor and portions of gentle slopes that extend from the canyon floor up
into the secondary canyons.

E. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT INVESTMENTS COST ASSUMPTlONS
1. S.D.G.&E. leases assumed at cost of $1,000 per year and will
rise by an additional $1,000 per year through the tenth year.
2. The project costs are very raw estimates without exact qualificz
and are expressed as potential capital improvement project leve'
of funding in 1981 dollars.
3. A slow and deliberate phasing of capital projects proceeds durir
the first five years, leading to a major private investment in z
combination athletic facility in the sixth year which equals prc
jected city investment to that time.
Access roads remain temporary surfaces until the fifth year wher
the privately developed public recreational facility is built.
Primary emphasis in the first five years, besides preparation of
the private investment "pad", is placed upon development of
running/jogging-type athletics and nature observation trails.
Major park facilities design does not commence until the third
program year.
Landscape change in the canyon lands is proposed in modest
increments as mass tree planting and as hillside stabilization
efforts.
Permanent athletic fields are proposed in the fourth program yea
once an initial recreation administration building is built (for
supervision and emergency services ) , with restrooms.
The first five-year program concentrates on opening the park for
public access uses not for investment intensive uses. Intensive
uses are proposed to be built and operated by private operators.

F. PROGRAM EFFORTS COSTS
Macario Canyon Park is presumed to be the major new park development
program in the City of Carlsbad during the next decade; it will be achiev
on a carefully phased basis -- as city and private resources are availabl
. Macario Canyon Park system revenues will come from: lease revenues
paid to the city by the privately developed and operated recreational
facilities; development donations (cash or in-kind) made by local
organizations -- to both capital projects and ongoing maintenance,
operations and administrative costs; collection of modest user fees
for specialized facilities within the park itself -- the publicly
developed and city-operated facilities (not the privately built
and operated facilities which also provide revenue).
Only modest amounts of federal and state grant funds are expected to
be available in future years -- and are not projected to be significan
resources which the development program should rely upon.
.
. No bond funding is proposed at this time; it may prove useful later
in securing a lower construction and long-term debt for the commercial
recreation facilities.
. Maintenance of the entire study area, in ownership and under lease,
approximately 502 acres of land surface, is conceptually projected
at $838/acre/year.
concentrating on protection and conservation, rather than an intensive
maintenance effort based on accelerated facilities development and
landscape change.
This is based on an extensive maintenance effort

Maintenance costs could double after the first five years, but should
then be partially reimbursed by regular user fees and by limited inco
from the privately built recreational facilities.
. A full-time staff is proposed for the park in ordev to adequately pro
tect the resources and to interpret the natural settings for visitors
as shown on the Distribution of Program Effort Chart, page 39.
Funding and fund sources for operation, administration and maintenanc
of the proposed park improvement are addressed in the attached tables
.
Basic costs are developed for each activity to build out of Macario
development (these costs are based on current construction costs with-
’ out an inflation factor) and through the first five years of operations
(these costs include a 12% per year inflationary increment).
Cost components for the first five years, without inflation are:
I
. Acquisition and leases - $2,015,000 . Capital Improvements - $2,513,000 . Maintenance, operations and administration - $1,255,000

H. REVENUE POTENTIALS FROM PRIVATELY DEVELOPED FAClUTfES
Basic Concepts
1. Ground rent contracts establish minimum lease incomes which are
convertible to a percent of operating gross revenues once the
operating gross formula returns exceed minimum rent proceeds.
2. All private developments pay the one-time public facilities fee at I 2% of improvements.
3. All private developments pay possessory interest real estate taxes,
based upon the value of the improvements.
mill ion in private investments have been defined.
of Macario Park into the City , the City might expect to receive
14.5% of new property taxes collected on the private improvements.
The City can provide to Macario Canyon Park operations the value of
the sales taxes, property taxes and hotel guest taxes which the
faci 1 i ty operators pay.
Some $25.8 to $26.28
After annexations
4.
5. Carlsbad will receive 1% of all taxable sales within Macario Park,
after full annexation into the City. Some $9,487,300 in annual
taxable sales has been forcasted for the six major facilities
defined bel ow.

J, 15 YEAR ESTIMATE OF COSTS AND REVENUES
The two tables which follow demonstrate the flows of public and private
investments in Macario Canyon Park. They have been created from close
analysis of the concept plan which has been developed for the park which
purposefully features a gradual phased long-term build-out.
The development scheme mixes public and private investments to create a
unique City/region park -- with careful regard for the fragile environmental
resources of the canyons, wetlands and lagoon.
Both tables are computed in 1981 value dollars.

operate recreational facilities, restaurants and a conference center. The
total City investment of $11.7 million is matched by $26.3 million in privat
investments. Each City dollar generates $2.20 in private development value.
On-going park access and facilities costs by the City during the 15-year tim
period have been included in the estimates -- as a true reflection of real
future City costs.

It is possible to rearrange the recommended capital development program
to reduce front-end City investments in non-revenue-producing facilities
and maximize earlier capture of private recreation facility investments.
That would bring on earlier revenue streams than are shown in Table II.
City would still need to bear substantial on- and off-site costs (access,
utilities, pads) in order to induce private investment.
Table 11, Maintenance, Operations and Administration Costs and Revenues
Concept, displays the revenue assumptions which have been proposed in the
Macario Canyon Park Oevel opment Pl an.
I
There are five "yields" :
1. Private donations of operational funds or in-kind services --
primarily in the start-up years.
Revenues earned from the privately developed pub1 ic recreation
and visitor facilities, including land lease income, possessory
interest property taxes, sales taxes, and hotel guest taxes.
3. Public Facilities Fee payments by the private investors: these

have not been credited to Macario Canyon Park costs.
System Revenues - Potential modest user fees charged to users
of the public recreational facilities (athletic fields, group
picnic areas, botanical garden, museum, etc.).
Fees collected for recreation operations by the Parks Department
for organized recreational activities offered within the park --
according to the current City policy at least 60 percent of recreatio
operations will be self-sustaining within five years.

The revenue concepts have purposefully included very low yields from the
initial long-term land leases as inducements to the investors to build
and operate the public recreation and visitor facilities for profit.

The minimum land rents would then convert to a percentage of business gross
revenues at an early point, but still at a level designed to encourage
both profit and high quality recreation operations and visitor services 1 performance.
Table I1 indicates a long-term nature of Macario Canyon Park revenue generat
Table I1 shows the concept that eventual revenue generation would reduce Citq
annual maintenance and operations exposure to $150,000 to $200,000 per year.
This Economic Study did not build in a requirement that the City receive
a return or any eventual pay-off of its sunk acquisition and public
improvements investments. That would be a further alternative investigation
For comparative purposes, please note that:
1. Macario Canyon Park acquisition and development (pub1 ic costs)
as proposed herein at $11.7 million would be equal to roughly
one-fourth of the proposed commitment of $40.7 million to all
parks in Carlsbad from Public Facilities Fee revenues.
Average Macario Canyon Park net operational costs ($225,000)
over the 15-year projection period would be equal to roughly
one-fifth of the current Department of Parks and Recreation
