Community Parks Community parks are leisure facilities of 20 to 50 acres specifically designed to serve the broader recreational needs of several neighborhoods. They are best located near major artetials and when possible, near junior and senior high schools. Additionally, they are intended to provide diversified activity, both active and passive to meet the needs of the populations surrounding them. The land use map indicates specific locations for Stagecoach Park and Alga Norte Community Park. The other community park locations indicated on the map are approximate and are intended as a planning tool. Based on projections of population and community needs,, a community park site should be located in the general vicinity shown. These park sites are anticipated to be dedicated and developed in conjunction with surrounding development. 9. Special-Resource Areas Special-Resource Areas are local amenities under the jurisdiction of the City of Carlsbad that have either city- wide or potential regional significance. Although they are usually greater than 100 acres in size, it is not size alone that makes them significant. Significance is found within each site's unique potential to attract users from a greater distance than a local facility. Consequently, the facilities offered at a special-resource area have a specialized use attractive to users locally and beyond. Designated special-resource areas, within the Carlsbad sphere of influence include: Buena Vista Lagoon Agua Hedionda Lagoon Batiquitos Lagoon State Beaches Macario Canyon Park Lake Calavera Rancho Carrillo . . 10. Special-Use Facility A special use facility is a local recreational facility of only one or two activity-type uses (tennis courts, pool, etc) and are generally 1-5 acres in size. Special use facilities may be developed and maintained by either private, public or joint-effort funding. These facilities may also be developed on school district property as a joint effort with the school districts. 1 ' PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2041 2 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD, CALIFORNIA, RECOMMENDING APPROVAL 5 OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE LAND USE ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN TO INCLUDE THE CLASSIFICATIONS OF 4 .COMMUNITY PARKS AND SPECIAL RESOURCE AREAS FOR PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE CARLSBAD SPHERE OF 5 INFLUENCE.

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND On June 15, 1982, the City Council approved an amendment to the Parks and Recreation Element of the General Plan. The amendment revised park standards and classifications, established maintenance and development standards, and revised and established goals, policies and action plans which provide for a more self-supporting system. The element also designated special resource areas and community park sites, existing and proposed. This proposed amendment to the land use element would bring the two elements into conformance. The text of the land use element would be amended to include the classifications of special resource areas and community parks. The land use plan would be amended to reflect the specific or general location of these sites. The changes to the text of the land use element are indicated on attached Exhibit "A". The changes to the land use map are shown on attached Exhibit "B" (location map). II. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Land Use Planning Manager has determined that the environmental effects of this project have been reviewed in con- junction with the Environmental Impact Report which was certified for the new Parks and Recreation Element and, therefore, has issued a Notice of Prior Compliance dated, October 14, 1982. III. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission ADOPT Resolution No. 2041, recommending APPROVAL of GPA-64(G), based on the findings contained therein.
