ITEM EXPLANATION: In accordance with Council Policy No. 48 (Exhibit 1) adopted in June, 1991 the Parks and Recreation Commission is recommending a name for the park site located immediately adjacent to the Alta Mira residential development, east of Paseo Del Norte between Palomar Airport Road and Camino De Los Ondas. The recommended name is Poinsettia Community Park. Public Review Process x a ?A % 2 s 5 a As per the Council Policy guidelines, the Commission appointed a subcommittee (Castner, Ward and Strayer) who met on November 5, 1992. At this meeting the subcommittee decided to add additional residents to assist them in the task. The subcommittee also directed staff to prepare a press release to be sent to the local newspapers and to be passed out to all the local schools requesting suggestions from the public (Exhibit 2). The subcommittee met again on December 3, 1992 with appointed residents (Pat White, John Earle, Juanita Rhodes and Mario Monroy). Twenty eight (28) names proposed from the community were reviewed by the subcommittee. After considerable discussion, and primarily because of the park site geographic location tc the flower fields, the committee selected "Poinsettia Community Park" as the preferred name. Alternatives suggested were 1) Hidden Valley Community Park, 2) Paseo Del Norte Community Park. In addition, because of the proximity to various proposed park sites (Alta Mira and Zone 19), the subcommittee recommended that the Commission consider changing the names of Hidden Valley Road to (Hidden Valley Parkway) and Poinsettia Lane be changed to (Poinsettia Parkway). On December 7, 1992, information regarding the subcommittees decision was shared with a coalition of homeowner association's representatives who indicated they woulc pass the information on to their respective members. They were also informed of the time, place and date of the Commission meeting where the naming of the park would be discussed. The general consensus of the homeowner association coalition was support for the name "Poinsettia community Park". g z Parks and Recreation Commission Action 3 8 After a committee report and input from the public, the Commission at their December 21, 1992 meeting recommended to Council that they consider naming the subject park site "Poinsettia Community Park". , PAGE 2, AB #- 0 0 The Commission took no action on the suggestion to change the names of Hidden Valley Road and Poinsettia Lane pending further information from staff.
