Development of the park is outlined in the Parks and Recreation Element of the General Plan and is needed to meet the standards established under the Growth Management Plan (3 acres park per 1000 population). A project design team was formed that consisted of City staff from various departments as well as the City’s park planners, P&D Consultants. After data gathering, site analysis, and preliminary discussions of the initial program for the park, several conceptual layouts were produced for consideration. On November 20, 2000, staff presented an update on the progress of the master plan to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Staff explained two alternative park layouts and described the proposed public outreach program. An “open house/ public workshop” was held on December 7,200O at the Dove Library. The workshop was noticed using mailings and newspaper advertisements. Staff and the consultants were in attendance to explain the exhibits and to encourage input from the attendees. Comment forms were provided. Approximately 50 residents attended the open house and staff received valuable input from the citizens. Following the public meeting, the design team met and analyzed the public input. Along with the expertise of staff, they developed the final program for the park and recommended the “preferred alternative”. The proposed Zone 19 Park Master Plan is attached as Exhibit 3. Amenities include: One *Large soccer field w/2 smaller One Community center (approx. 17,000 over-lay fields square feet) One *Ball field One Large picnic area Two *Basketball courts (half court Two Restrooms design) One Large tot lot Walkways and trails *will include sports lights. One Maintenance bldg. Parking (approx. 175 spaces) The community center is intended to be different than the City’s other community centers. It will be slightly smaller and will not include a gymnasium. The vision for the center is to accommodate meetings, banquets, weddings, dance classes, and other like uses. Additionally, there will be a “senior component” that will include a dedicated “senior family” room for “drop in” services that cater to seniors (e.g. library, meeting rooms, computer station, occasional health services, etc). The architecture is proposed to present a generally higher quality of aesthetics than the more purely functional designs of Calavera Hills and Stagecoach community center/gymnasiums.
