The Council also state that the Northwest Quadrant Park Master Pian should stay within available fundin sources and, give Community Facility District (CFD) financing and tb acquisition/development of the Magnolia flower field property a low priority. ThE further requested that the Commission study the possibility of a joint-ventur community center proposal. In addition, the Council determined that lease property and land for which the City has use agreements will be counted to met park standards. PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION ACTION During the February 1993 meeting, the chair of the Parks and Recreatio Commission appointed Commissioners Castner, Heineman, Strayer, and Lawso as an alternate, to a subcommittee to analyze options and to prepare a report fc Commission and Council consideration on the Northwest Quadrant Par Enhancement Program. I 0 w PAGE 2, AB # jzj q38 The subcommittee met with staff from March 5 to April 7, 1993, to review, analyze, discuss and make recommendations on the following materials and information dating back from 1988 to present: (Attachment A) A.

The original Hosp Grove/Buena Vista Study (October '91) included a number of projects that were relatively costly. In response to input from the Northwest Quadrant Ad Hoc Citizen Group, the Parks and Recreation Commission and the City Council, the study was revised to reduce the overall scope. The major reductions included elimination of property costs for projects such as sidewalks and trails that are already included as part of other current City projects were not included in the financing for this project. acquisition and major development in proposed park areas.

The length and term of implementation of a master plan for the Northwest Quadrant. SUBCOMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION After review of all the data pertaining to the Northwest Quadrant, taking into consideration previous Council direction and public comments, the subcommittee recommended the following: A. To stay within the existing identified funding sources and not pursue a Community Facility District (CFD) for the Northwest Quadrant at this time. PIL . PFF CFD Grants B. Presently, not to sell, trade or lease any existing city-owned properties and continue with existing leases and agreements for use of land for park purposes, C. Keep options open to purchase the Pine School property and/or the acquisition of the 13 parcels adjacent to Chase Field, including the closure of Palm Avenue and Jefferson Street. 0 w PAGE 4, AB # jai q38 D. Staff is to monitor available redevelopment funds and apply for funding when and where appropriate. E. Consider the acquisition of the 11 + acre parcel on the north side of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon during the master plan process of Zone 8 and 24. F. Omit the acquisition and development of the Magnolia Flower Fields adjacent to Valley Junior High. G. Abandon efforts for a joint-use development agreement with other community groups, instead construct a community center/gymnasium operated and controlled by the City. H. Consider Alternative 1 or 2 of the Hosp Grove/Buena Vista Plan at this time. However, if additional funding sources were identified, Alternative 3 would be recommended. I. Finally, recommend that the Parks and Recreation Commission should implement the following short/long range park enhancement program. 1. Two options are being suggested. The preferred Option A outlines a program that would include the purchase of the 7-acre Pine School and includes Alternative 2 of the Hosp Grove/Buena Vista Lagoon Study. If the Pine School site does not materialize within seven (7) years, in accordance with the Agreement between CUSD and the City of Carlsbad for the use of the Senior Center and District administrative offices, Option B would be incorporated. This option suggests the purchase of 13 parcels adjacent to Chase Field and recommends closure of Palm Avenue and Jefferson Street. Option B also includes Alternative 2, of the Hosp Grove/Buena Vista Lagoon Study. If Option 8 is enacted, at a future date, the purchase of the 13 parcels is not recommended to be by condemnation, rather, through a long-range acquisition program. e w PAGE 5, AB # /54 38 Option A 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

The following are the group's comments: Alternative 2 of the Hosp Grove Buena Vista Plan is preferred by the group. There may be a safety issue at the crossing of State and Carlsbad Boulevard without a traffic signal installed in order to gain access to Maxton Brown Extension. The realignment of State and Carlsbad Boulevard may be accomplished as a city-wide project in the future. A rest room facility may be needed at the west end of the Hosp Grove/Buena Vista Lagoon study area. Surveillance lights may be needed along the trail in the Maxton Brown expansion area. There are trespassing problems at the gated area adjacent to the Army/Navy tennis courts. The City should investigate the selling of the Harding Street Community Center to the Big Bear Market. Indicated support of the overall Northwest Quadrant Park Enhancement proposal as outlined by the Parks and Recreation Commission Subcommittee. PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION On May 17, 1993, after staff and the Subcommittee's presentation, the Parks and Recreation Commission voted (5-1-1) to recommend Alternative 2 of the Hosp Grove/Buena Vista Lagoon modification plan. In addition, the Commission unanimously voted (7-0) to accept all the recommendations as presented by the Subcommittee pertaining to the Northwest Quadrant Park Enhancement Program. FISCAL IMPACT: One of Council's goals was that any park enhancement program in the Northwesi Quadrant should stay within the existing funding sources. To that end, staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission has developed a short and long range Capita Improvement Program (CIP) that enhances the subject quadrant, meets the city's park obligation, satisfies the public demand, and is financially feasible staying within existinc funding sources. EXHIBITS: Attachment A - Northwest Quadrant Park Study Attachment B - Hosp Grove/Buena Vista Lagoon Study a 0 May 17, 1993 TO: PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: Commission Subcommittee NORTHWEST QUADRANT PARK STUDY Introduction During the February 1993 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission appointed Commissioners Castner, Heineman, and Strayer (Lawsodalternate) to analyze options and prepare a report on the Northwest Quadrant Park Enhancement Program. The following is a brief review of background information, a summary of actions, a list of approved projects, funding sources, Hosp/Buena Vista Lagoon alternatives and recommendations by the subcommittee for the Commission’s consideration. Background On April 7, and April 21, 1992, staff presented information to the City Council pertaining to the following: A. The creation and cost of a Community Facility District (CFD) for Northwest Quadrant Park Enhancement Funding. B. A detailed, long-range cost study and implementation program for the enhancement area reaching westerly to Maxton Brown Park extension area, and the Maxton Brown expansion, ending at the Pacific Ocean. of Hosp Grove, the south shore of Buena Vista Lagoon including the Duck Feeding C. A list of all projects and their cost including maintenance impacts. D. Information pertaining to the joint-venture proposal for the Magnolia site with CUSD. E. Information relative to Council’s suggestion of a joint-venture community center proposal and a meeting held with various community groups. In addition, staff reported on a field trip to Dana Point regarding a joint-venture community center project. By consensus, Council referred the matter to the Parks and Recreation Commission for further consideration and a recommendation on the noted projects as outlined in the stafi report, or a modification of the projects (as noted in the Hosp/Buena Vista Lagoon Study); noting Council preference to stay within available funding sources; giving CFD financing a low priority; and requesting the Commission study further the possibility of a joint-venture community center. ATTACHME 0 0 Summary of Actions From the various comments made by the Council, the Northwest Quadrant Citizen’s Group, and other members of the community, the Parks and Recreation Commission is to consider the following and then forward a recommendation to Council: 1. The enhancement plan is to stay within available funding mechanism and sources. 2. The Community Facility District (CFD) financing source is not viable. 3. The acquisition and development of the Magnolia flower field site would not work because CUSD requires exclusive use of 5 + acres and there are insufficient funds for acquisition and/or development for this project. 4. The Commission is to consider existing CIP projects and/or a modification thereof as recommended by the various studies. 5. There is support for the Hosp Grove Buena Vista plan. However, it requires modification and scope reduction. 6. The Council would like the Commission to further explore the joint-venture community center concept. 7. Incorporate future land acquisition in the Agua Hedionda Lagoon/North Beach area through the park land dedication process of future development. 8. Leased property and land for which the City has use agreements, will be counted to meet park standards. Discussion One of Council’s guidelines was that any enhancement program in the Northwest Quadrant should stay within existing funding mechanisms.

In thal effort, staff has revised the scope of the project and is recommending three alternatives fol consideration. Alternative 1 proposes the least development, with correspondingly moderate costs; while Alternative 2 proposes the most amenities at the greatest cost. All the alternatives have a number of environmental and engineering issues that need to be furthel explored and/or resolved (Exhibit A). Alternative 1 $ 2,690,000 Alternative 2 $ 3,225,000 Alternative 3 $ 5,800,000 3 - 0 0 Subcommittee Evaluation The subcommittee met on March 5 & 29 and again on April 7, 1993, to review the material compiled by staff relating to background information and prior direction relating to the Northwest Quadrant Park Enhancement Study. Primary discussion centered on the following: 0 Potential of selling existing owned properties. - Cannon Park - 405 Oak Street - Pi0 Pic0 Park - Oak Park - Harding Street Community Center e Potential of buying additional park property. - Pine Elementary School - Property adjacent to the south and west side of Chase Field - Closing off Palm Avenue and Jefferson Street adjacent to Chase Field 0 Can redevelopment funds be considered. - Requested representation from the redevelopment agency at next meeting 0 Acquisition of the 11-acre parcel adjacent to Agua Hedionda Lagoon. 0 The merits of acquiring and developing the 15-acre Magnolia parcel adjacent to Valley Jr. High. e A joint venture in the development and operation of a community centedgymnasium. 0 The establishment of a Community Facility District (CFD). 0 A review of the revised Hosp Grove Buena Vista Lagoon Study. 0 Review of the available funding mechanisms and sources. 0 The duration of implementing the ongoing master plan program. 4 " 0 0 Subcommittee Review and Comments _I 0 Potential of selling existing owned City property. After review and evaluation of prior Commission and Council direction, the Subcommittee determined that at this time it may not be appropriate to sell any of the existing park property. However, the option to sell sometime in the future should be left open. 0 Potential of buying additional properties. After discussion and review, the Subcommittee determined that the City investigate the purchase of the properties adjacent to Chase Field and the closing off of Palm Avenue and Jefferson Street. This Alternative has the potential to provide a comprehensive park facility in one location. Staff has reviewed the acquisition of the 17 parcels located to the south and west of Chase Field with a local, established realtor. He indicated that the owners are reluctant to sell the subject properties, and it would take many years for the City to buy all of them. He also indicated that he thought the properties would sell between $200,000 to $300,000 each depending if they were single family dwelling units or of a duplex type. In discussing this acquisition proposal with the Planning and Redevelopment Directors, they both felt this proposal would be very difficult to achieve and if condemnation efforts were used, individual relocation might be required. should keep the option of buying the Pine School 7-acre parcel open and to 0 Are redevelopment funds available? According to a representative from the Redevelopment office there are not a lot of funds available today. However, there are CDGB monies for low and moderate income that can be used for projects on a competitive basis. 0 Agua Hedionda Lagoon 11+ acre parcel. This parcel along the North Shore is still to be considered as a part of the Zone 8 & 24 master planning process. 0 Magnolia flower field parcel adjacent to Valley Jr. High . The acquisition and development of the Magnolia flower field site would a work as the CUSD requires exclusive use of 5+ acres and there are insufficient funds for acquisition and/or development for this project. 5 .d 0 0 0 Community center/gym joint venture proposal. -# In April of 1992 staff met a number of community and social service groups to see if there was an interest in working with the City on a joint venture to construct and operate a large community centerlgymnasium. The general consensus of the groups indicated such a proposal was interesting. However, most of the comments brought out a number of constraints primarily in funding ability, duplication of services, territorial issues, programming constraints, control and timing. The general consensus of the community groups was that they all could perform better independently. The Subcommittee’s recommendation is that they do not want to consider such a joint-venture concept. The reason cited was that the City should have control of the facility and in addition it would be difficult to satisfy all the groups’ needs. The Subcommittee did state they had no problems with the City working with all the noted groups as far as renting the City facility for community wide programming. 0 Establishing a Community Facility District (CFD). The Subcommittee’s feelings were that establishing a CFD Assessment District that would require a two thirds vote for the Northwest Quadrarit was not feasible at this time. 0 Hosp Grovemuena Vista Lagoon Revised Study. After a staff update, the Subcommittee recommended the Commission consider either Alternative 1 or 2. 0 Funding Mechanisms. It was determined that the enhancement plans would stay within available funding mechanisms and sources i.e. PIL, PFF, CFD, and various granl programs. 0 Enhancement Program. The Committee felt that it would take many years for the existing funding mechanisms to materialize. Therefore, the enhancement plan for thc Northwest Quadrant will be a long-range program. 6 rC a W Northwest Quadrant Citizen Group Comments On April 28, 1993, staff met with members of the Northwest Quadrant citizen group to discuss the subcommittee’s park enhancement recommendation, which included the Hosp Grove/Buena Vista Alternative. The group echoed many of the same comments that the i *& subcommittee raised. The following are the group’s comments for consideration: 0 There may be a safety issue at the crossing of State and Carlsbad Boulevard without a traffic signal installed in order to gain access to Maxton Brown Extension. 0 The realignment of State and Carlsbad Boulevard may be accomplished as a city-wide project in the future. 0 A restroom facility was needed at the west end of the Hosp Grovemuena Vista Lagoon Study area. 0 Surveillance lights were needed along the trail in the Maxton Brown Extension area. e There were trespassing problems at the gated area adjacent to the Army/Navy tennis courts. 0 The City should investigate the selling of the Harding Street Community Center to the Big Bear Market. 0 Alternate 2 of the Hosp Grove Buena Vista Plan is preferred by the group. 0 Indicated support of the overall Northwest Quadrant Park Enhancement proposal as outlined by the Parks and Recreation Commission Subcommittee. Subcommittee Recommendation 1. Not to sell, trade or lease any existing City owned property at this time. 2. Keep options open to purchase the Pine School property and/or the acquisition of the 17 parcels adjacent to Chase Field, including the closure oj Palm Avenue and Jefferson Street. 3. Staff is to monitor available redevelopment funds and apply for funding where appropriate. 4. Consider the acquisition of the 11+ acre parcel adjacent to the Aguc Hedionda Lagoon during the master plan process of Zone 8 and 24. 5. Forget the acquisition and development of the Magnolia Flower Field adjacent to Valley Jr. High. 7 I- a W 6. Abandon efforts for a joint use development agreement with other community ” groups, but rather construct a community center/gymnasium operated and’ controlled by the City. 7. Give up the idea of a CFD for the Northwest Quadrant at this time. 8. Consider Alternative 1 or 2 of the Hosp GroveBuena Vista Plan at this time. However, if additional funding sources were identified, Alternative 3 would be recommended. 9. Stay within the existing identified funding mechanisms. 10. The Subcommittee recommends that the Commission consider the following long range park enhancement program. Two options are being suggested. The preferred Option A outlines a program that would include the purchase of the 7-acre Pine School and includes Alternative 2 of the Hosp GroveDuena Vista Lagoon Study. If the Pine School site does not materialize within seven (7) years, in accordance with the Agreement between the CUSD and the City of Carlsbad, Option B would be incorporated. This Option would purchase 17 parcels adjacent to Chase Field and recommend closure of Palm Avenue and Jefferson Street.

STUDY OVERVIEW INTRODUCTION The Hosp Grove/Buena Vista Lagoon Study Area is part of the larger Northwest Quadrant Park Enhamcement Study, which explores additional park opportunities over and above the existing and currently proposed parks in this quadrant of the City. The Hosp Grove/Buena Vista Lagoon Study Area focuses on recreational opportunities in Hosp Grove, the south shore of the Buena Vista Lagoon, and the Maxton Brown Park passive parks, trails and boardwalks that take advantage of the splendid natural resources of Hosp Grove and the Buena Vista Lagoon. The original Hosp Grove/Buena Vista Study (October '91) included a number of projects that were relatively costly. In response to input from the Northwest Quadrant Ad Hoc Citizen Group, the Parks and Recreation Commission and the City Council, the study was revised to reduce the overall scope. The major reductions included elimination of property acquisition and highly developed park areas (vs natural/passive parks). Also costs for projects such as sidewalks and trails that are already included as part of other current City projects were not included in the costs for this project. area (including expansion west of Carlsbad Boulevard). These opportunities include For the purposes of this report, the study area has been broken down into three "sections"; the "Hosp Grove Section" to the east, the "Maxton Brown Section" to the west and a "Linkage Section" connecting the two (refer to map on the previous page). Each section is then broken down further into specific "projects". The general nature of the projects per section are as follows: Hosp Grove Section 0 Passive park sites consisting of picnic areas, tot lots and other "low key" recreational amenities consistent with the natural grove environment 0' Staging areas and trails Maxton Brown Section 0 Picnicing 0 Staging areas and trails 0 Boardwalks Interpretive and viewing areas Linkage Section 0 Boardwalks . Interpretive and viewing areas . Sidewalk linkages .. 1 " 'I 0 0 CONCEPTUAL LEVEL The recreational enhancement proposals set forth in this study are very conceptual in nature and would require further environmental, planning, engineering, and survey/title work for more in depth feasibility analysis and ultimate project development. For example, one of the proposed projects calls for realignment of State Street into a "T" intersection at Carlsbad Boulevard. Although from a preliminary standpoint this appears feasible, further engineering, circulation studies and the necessary environmental permits (i.e. impact to wetlands) may ultimately prove to be fatal flaws for the project. These types of "ISSUES" are identified and discussed in each project description that follows. Additionally, there may also be some other unforeseen issues that exist. ALTERNATIVES ' As a further refinement from the October '91 study, three (3) options for development were explored (Alternative 1, 2, and 3). Alternative 1 proposes the least level of development with corresponding least cost. Alternative 3 proposes the most amenities at the greatest cost. Alternative 3 also has more potential issues associated with it (i.e. environmental, engineering) that would need to be exploredhesolved. COSTS Costs estimated for each project are also preliminary and based on concepts only. Unil costs used are based on previous similar projects in some cases, while other figures are simply allowances based on staff's past experience and judgment. TOTAL COST FOR ALL PROJECTS IN THE ALTERNATIVE 1 $2,6 HOSP GROVE/BUENA VISTA LAGOON STUDY ALTERNATIVE 2 $3,2 AREA (INCLUDING CONSULTANT STUDIES) ALTERNATIVE 3 $5,8 ORIGINAL $1 1,2 Costs are broken down on a per project basis in Section II "Project Descriptions." In a the basis for the costs is found in Appendix A. NOTE: Costs for environmental mitigation (if required) are not included because tl unknown at this time. If costs occur, it may be possible to pay for the mitigation ou "contingency" percentage that has been added to each project cost. 2 " 0 0 " II.

SIZE: 2 3 acres OWNERSHIP: Private with various easements over the private property. PROPOSED USES: (Alt. 1 & 2 are the same projects) 1: Walks, trails 2. Fishing 3. Bird watching 4. (Alt. 3 only). Pedestrian overpass (over railroad tracks bridging Maxton Brc Extension Expansion [MB-11 and Maxton Brown Extension [MB-2]). ISSUES: 1. ACQUISITION -- Requires acquisition of the site. This land may be available for ( acquisition due to the likelihood that private land uses (Le. residential, commercial) ma) undevelopable because of constraints. In-lieu of dedication of the entire site, a easement might be pursued. 2. ACCESS -- (Alt. 3 only). Proposed off Carlsbad Boulevard to a parking lot on the "Ma) Brown Extension" site. Would involve realignment of State Street and other related isst (Refer to discussion under "Maxton Brown Extension - Project MB-2.") A fallback access might be at an existing private dirt driveway that leads from Moun View down to the project site. This involves several problems including acquisition of driveway and access issues off of Mountain View (which is a substandard reside street). 3. ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITS -- Should not be a problem because it appears to be loc' on an old wetland fill and not b wetlands. However, no biological reconnaissance been performed on this site. 4.

ACCESS -- (Alt. 2 & 3 onlv) Depends on ability to realign State Street into a 'IT' intersec at Carlsbad Boulevard. This is currently being studied by Municipal Projects ar included in the C.I.P. The T' intersection is needed for vehicular access to the propc parking. Another problem is that the City has deeded a 100-foot buffer on the north portion o site to the Coastal Conservancy. The deed restricts the use of this buffer to pedes trails and wetland mitigation. Vehicular access to the site would need to cross easement and, therefore, the deed restriction would need to be modified thrt negotiations with the Coastal Conservancy. 2. LEASE AGREEMENT -- (3) A portion of the parking may encroach on the rail R.O.W. and, therefore, require a lease agreement. COST: (Refer to Appendix A, page 13 for breakdowns.)
