CITY RECOMMENDED ACTION: REST ROOM CONSTRUCTION NORTH BEACH AREA Consider the recommendation by the Parks and Recreation Commission to construc rest room facility in the north beach area and direct staff accordingly. ITEM EXPLANATION: During the 92-93 Council budget hearing, there was discussion about providing a 1 room facility along the beach in north Carlsbad. Council suggested rest ro construction should be reviewed first by the Parks and Recreation Commission an1 recommendation be brought back to the Council for consideration. The rest room issue was brought before the Parks and Recreation Commission at tl July 20, 1992 meeting. Three (3) options, the costs, funding sources and a sugges location were discussed: Option A Pad with (2) portable units $ 30,00( Option B Pad with block building $ 97,00( Option C Pad with State prefab unisex model $125,00 Staff determined that the most suitable location for the facility would be between P and Walnut Avenue, east of the sea wall, adjacent to the existing shower structure State Parks and Recreation property. This subject location is also identified and i: compliance with the State Parks Beach General Plan. Presently, the State provides ( or two portable units at this site on a seasonal basis. Staff suggested the Commission consider and recommend Option B (pad with blc building), and that it be developed as a Northwest Quadrant Park Enhancement proj funded through future designated park funds (PFF or PIL funds). After discussion and recognizing that there is a need for a rest room facility in the nc beach area, the Commission voted unanimously (6-0) not to use the Northwest Quadr park funds to build a rest room complex on property owned by the State. Rather, Commission recommended the City should encourage the State to provide hnds for si a facility. 0 Q Page 2, AB# 14 241 However, the Commission did state that if the rest room was to be constructed, that should have running water, meet A.D.A. requirements, and have hooks to hang towel or clothing on. If it is Council's direction to provide a rest room facility for public use on the State Park and Recreation property, staff recommends that the City enter into an operatir agreement with the State, build Option B, (pad with a block building) at an estimate cost of $97,000 and fund construction through the General Capital Construction fun( FISCAL IMPACX: The cost for a rest room facility along the north beach area has been estimated to rani from $30,000 for a portable unit to a high of $125,000 for a State prefab unisex mode Potential funding sources for the construction and the approximate amounts availat from each source include the following: 0 General Capital Construction fund balance $1,000,000 0 Contingency $1,000,000 0 General Fund Balance $6,500,000 It should be noted that these funding sources are the same as those that would available to offset any loss of revenues to the City due to the State's budget balanci proposals. Council may want to consider postponing their decision on this project UI the State has adopted their budget and the effect on the City is known. If Cour decides to proceed with the project, it is staffs recommendation that the General Capi Construction funds be utilized. Maintenance and operation costs are estimated to range from $3,000 to $11,000 1 year depending on the type of facility. These additional costs would be borne by i general fund. EXHIBITS: 1. 2.

According to the San Diego Coastal State Park System General Plan, page 65, two locat have been delineated for comfort station replacement. Station 1 is located between Pine 2 I;; 47 , m e c -8 Walnut Avenue, while Station 2 is located between Acacia and Cherry Avenue, both were contingent on beach replacement and installation of beach protection devices and were to be portable units. In checking with the area state officials, they indicated that there are no funds identified in the Master Plan for any improvements along the Carlsbad coast. Staff recommends that if a rest room facility is constructed that it be located between Pine anc Walnut Avenue, east of the sea wall walkway, adjacent to an exiting outdoor shower fixture.
