The Parks and Recreation Element of the City's General Plan identifies Aka Mira
Community Park as the first major facility to be developed in the southwest quadrant
of the City. Responding to both current and projected needs for parks and recreation
facilities in this quadrant, the City has appropriated funds in the 1991-92 and 1992-93
Capital Improvement Program budgets for master planning the park and development
of phase one (1) of a multi-phased plan.
In 1991, the City of Carlsbad entered into an agreement with The Dike Partnership,
Incorporated, for preparation of a comprehensive Master Plan for Aka Mira Community
Park. The Master Plan report has been completed and is ready for review by the City
Council. At this Council meeting, City staff will review the history, process, major issues,
and alternatives outlined in the Master Plan document which is submitted for
acceptance. Additionally, staff will present the recommended project development
alternative, referred to as "Alternative A-2".
In developing the Master Plan alternatives for Aka Mira Community Park, input from
Parks and Recreation Department staff, the Parks and Recreation Commission,
surrounding property owners, and the general public was solicited. On March 1 1, 1992,
an "open house" was held at the Public Safety and Service Center where approximately
200 people from the area surrounding the future park attended and reviewed the
various park layouts, asked questions of the design team and provided input on the
numerous park program components. The information presented at the open house
1 culminated in the presentation of three park design layout alternatives, "A', "6" and "C"
Based on input from the public, and review by staff and the consultants, a consensu5
was reached to pursue "Alternative A'. The general concept of "Alternative A" was tc
feature a large central passive greenbelt surrounded by active park uses.

Alternative "AI was further refined into two variations, ."A-l" and "A-2'. As will be
reviewed at this Council meeting, the park program components for "Alternatives A-I'
and "A-2" are virtually identical. The only two (2) differences between these variation:
are that "A-1 It provides a total of two (2) baseball/softball fields and a slightly large1
unstructured, open area in the center of the park. Alternative A-2 provides a total o
three (3) baseball/softball fields and a slightly lesser amount (by approximately on(
=! 0 acre) of unstructured, open area in the center of the park.

On April 20, 1992, the Parks and Recreation Commission approved the concept of
"Alternative A" but were split 3-3 (with one member absent) on whether to recommend
"A-l", or "A-2". The primary issue of discussion centered around the importance of an additional ballfield Yersus a larger central open space,
Staff recommends Alternative "A-2" because the additional baseball/softball field in "A-2"
is needed to meet the city wide and quadrant adopted park standards for ballfields.
The preliminary park program for the 42 acre Alta Mira Community Park ("Alternative
A-2") includes the following amenities:

Staff intends to return to the City Council within the next thirty (30) days with the
completed design agreement with The Dike Partnership for Phase one (l), project
schedule, and a general outline of the components proposed to be constructed within the
Phase 1 budget. Tentatively, at this point, Phase I will consist of grading the entire 42
acres to include required utilities and underground infrastructure, construction of a lighted
soccer and baseball/softball field, rest room facility, some tennis courts, tot lots, passive
picnic area, parking and will provide access off of the soon to be constructed Hidden
Valley Road.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City Council has previously appropriated a total of $3,087,000 for the first phase of
Alta Mira Community Park in the 1992-93 fiscal CIP budget. Additionally, the City
Council appropriated $750,000 in the same CIP for the design and construction of adjacent
Hidden Valley Road which will provide permanent access to the park site. These funds
are proposed to be utilized by the City to construct the road subject to full reimbursement
by adjacent property owners. An agreement outlining these issues is currently being
negotiated with three (3) surrounding property owners and will be the subject of future
City Council review and approval.
There will be no maintenance and operation impact this fiscal year, however, when Phase
I of the park is completed, the maintenance and operation impact will range from $8,000 -
$10,000 per acre per year.
