CM I PROPERTY TO SCHOOL DISTRICT W -+ CITY ATTY\jFA CITY MGR.& RECOMMENDED ACTION: Direct staff to prepare deeds conveying land to school district as determined by Council. ITEM EXPLANATION: On September 27, 1984 a subcommittee of the City Council and Carlsbad Unified School District School Board met to discuss return of excess land at the swimming pool to the school district. The district asked for return of two parcels of land identified as Exhibits A and B on the attached map. The city has had legal descriptions prepared for the parcels, identified as A, B, C and D on the attached map. If the Council wants to return parcels A and B as requested, the staff will prepare deeds to convey the property to the school district. The city will need to maintain access rights over parcel A in order to gain access to the solar collector area for maintenance and storage purposes. As an alternative to returning parcels A and B to the district, the Council may wish to propose the return of parcels B and C and retain A for city use. The city currently conducts a volleyball program on parcel A. The staff has reviewed the parking requirements for pool use. The Zone Code does not have a category of use that would clearly spell out the parking requirements for the pool. The CUP issued for the pool is also unclear as to the parking requirements. and at peak use periods this is not enough according to observations of the pool manager. Additional parking spaces are therefore needed on parcel C, or would have to be created on parcel A if the city could no longer use parcel C for overflow parking. If the city were to return parcel C to the district, the city should retain overflow parking rights on parcel C. There are 29 parking spaces on parcel D, The advantage of returning parcel C and retaining parcel A is that to the casual observer parcel C appears to be part of the school facilities and the public therefore may not believe that it is available for use during school hours. The city does not currently schedule recreational programs on the tennis courts. To the casual observer parcel A appears to be part of the pool complex and in fact has been used as a picnic area for events and parties scheduled at the pool. The disadvantages of returning parcel C involve loss of the area for future recreation programs. Two groups have approached the city about using this facility. One group proposes converting the facility to paddle tennis courts and the other proposes using it for speed soccer. The Parks and Recreation Commission will be discussing these proposals at a future meeting. In order to facilitate these uses the courts would have to be modified. The other disadvantage is that unless the school district allowed the use of parcel C for overflow pool parking, the city may not have sufficient parking at peak pool use time. If the Council feels this alternative has merit you may wish to have it discussed at the next City Council - School Board subcommittee meeting and have the concept reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Commission to assess its impact on the city recreation program. FISCAL IMPACT: City maintenance costs will be reduced. EXHIBIT: 1. Map of parcels at pool site. I I ,/ / i !: $; .- - I I Lf I I 21. $! . >s .- .. . , .- .I .I 4 -3 9 -- ? !; ? -. - : ..+..
