Recreation NORTHWEST QUADRANT COMMUNITY PARK APPROVAL OF “PINE AVENUE PARK” AS THE OFFICIAL NAME FOR THE RECOMMENDED ACTION : CITY MG- Adopt Resolution No. 2004-243 currently known as the Northwest Quadrant Community Park as recommended by the Parks and Recreation Commission. approving “Pine Avenue Park as the official name for the park ITEM EXPLANATION : The Northwest Quadrant Community Park is a proposed 7.7 acre park located adjacent to the Carlsbad Senior Center and at the former site of the Pine Elementary School (refer to Location Map, Exhibit 2). Final plans are near completion and construction is scheduled for the start of 2005. As yet, the park has not been officially named. City Council Policy #48 establishes the guidelines and procedures for naming parks, facilities, and amenities within parks and for renaming parks. The policy requires the Parks and Recreation Commission to solicit public input to establish recommended park names. The policy procedure reads: “When considering proposals, the Commission shall emphasize the following criteria in making their recommendation to the City Council: 0 Geographic location Community significance Historical significance 0 School name, when adjacent to a school Individual person who shall have made a significant contribution to the City. ” During the Northwest Quadrant Community Park master plan process, public workshop attendees submitted potential names for the park. These names were compiled and a shortlist of potential names was generated. In May, a flyer ballot (see Exhibit 3) showing six potential names, and a space for other suggested names, was disseminated to the Northwest Quadrant public with a May 31, 2004 submittal deadline. Flyers were sent to previous participants in the master plan process and placed at the Cole Library and several businesses in the vicinity of the park. Over 200 suggestions were received with 64 various names. The top three names were Fiesta Park (122), Carlsbad Village Park (46), and Pine Street (Avenue) Park (26). After receipt and tally of the suggestions, a Parks and Recreation Commission subcommittee met to discuss the ballots and came to the following conclusion: Of the three top names, “Pine Street (Avenue) Park” meets the policy procedure criteria of geographic location, community significance, historical significance, and school name, making it the best choice for the park name. The name “Fiesta Park” has community significance, making it a favorable alternative. The name “Carlsbad Village Park” is too specific for a quadrant community park and should not be considered. Based upon this analysis, on June 22, 2004, the name “Pine Avenue Park” was recommended by the subcommittee to the Parks and Recreation Commission as the official name for the Northwest Quadrant Community Park. The Commission concurred with the recommendation and therefore is recommending to the City Council to approve the name “Pine Avenue Park” as the official name for the Northwest Quadrant Community Park.
