TITLE: CARRILLO RANCH SUBCOMMITTEE (ACTION) RECOMMENDED ACTION: Activate the subcommittee which was formed in relation to the Carrillo Ranch. ITEM EXPLANATION: Approximately one year ago, a request was fulfilled to form a subcommittee with representatives of the Parks and Recreation, Historic Preservation, and Arts Commissions so that the representatives could report back to their respective commissions relative to the development of the Carrillo Ranch. As the Commission is aware, preliminary park proposals with respect to development in Local Facilities Management Plan (LFMP) Zone 18 have been received relating to the Carrillo Ranch. Staff is currently meeting interdepartmentally to discuss specific aspects of the park proposal prior to meeting with Rick Engineering, the development consultant for the property owners in Zone 18. As a result of those meetings, a recommendation has been made by staff members that the subcommittee once formed relating to the Carrillo Ranch development be reactivated in order to provide input from and report back to their respective commissions concerning the development of the Carrillo Ranch Park. Please refer to the attached memos pertaining to this matter. FISCAL IMPACT: None at this time. EXHIBITS: 1. Memo, Assistant City Manager, October 8, 1991 2. Memo, Parks and Recreation Director, October 15, 1991 oo October 8, 1991 TO: ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER FROM: Parks and Recreation Director CARRILLO RANCH PARK MASTER PLAN Based on the attached memo regarding the processing of the Zone 18 LFMP, in particular how it relates to the Carrillo Ranch, I am recommending for your consideration, the following: 1. That the subcommittee with representatives from the Parks and Recreation, Historic Preservation, and Arts Commissions be activated so that they may play an integral part in the planning process for the ultimate development of the Carrillo Ranch Park, and 2. That consideration be given during this year's Capital Improvement Program budget review by City Council for the advancement of seed money to implement the planning process relating to the Carrillo Ranch. Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions, please contact me. DAVID BRADSTREET dm 47 EXHIBIT 1 October 15, 1991 TO: PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR FROM: Senior Management Analyst LOCAL FACILITIES MANAGEMENT PLAN ZONE 18/CARRILLO RANCH Recently, Zone 18 of the LFMP was submitted to the Planning Department for processing and ultimately, consideration and approval of the City Council. As you are well aware, the Carrillo Ranch is located within Zone 18 and should be considered an integral part of the Zone Plan in terms of park dedication requirements and the ultimate development of the park site. The park dedication requirements relative to Zone 18 is an additional 8.5 acres of parkland for the southeast quadrant. Previously, the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended that staff pursue the dedication of the required 8.5 acres adjacent to the existing 10.5 acre Carrillo Ranch Park site. That dedication/acquisition is also identified in the 1991 Parks and Recreation Element. In accordance with the park requirements associated with Zone 18, Rick Engineering, who are the consultants to property owners, have approached parks staff with a proposal for additional parkland. Rick Engineering, who has prepared and submitted master plans for the development of Zone 18, is requesting to finalize their park dedication proposal in order that they may assure expediency in the processing of their zone plans. Departmental staff in cooperation with Planning and Engineering staff have met to discuss Rick Engineering's proposal for their park dedication requirements. City staff will soon meet with representatives of Rick Engineering to discuss in detail the specifics of their park proposal. However, as a result of the meeting between City staff, it was recommended that the subcommittee with representatives from the Parks and Recreation, Historic Preservation, and Arts Commissions be activated so that they may play an integral part in the planning process for the ultimate development of the Carrillo Ranch Park. Another recommendation from staff discussions was that now is the appropriate time to begin the master plan process for the Carrillo Ranch. Unfortunately, current funding ($250,000) for this process is not scheduled in the Capital Improvement (CIP) Program budget until fiscal year 1993-94. The parkland dedication proposal currently under review by our staff is very much predicated upon the master plan for the overall development of Zone 18 as prepared by Rick Engineering. Much of the park property offered for dedication relates to the design that Rick Engineering is currently processing in relation to grading requirements, environmental concerns, etc. revolving around their development. However, in order to make a proper evaluation of the land being proposed for dedication, proper park master planning for the entire Carrillo Ranch site should be performed prior to any acceptance of parkland dedication. EXHIBIT 2 rage AJthough the entire amount of $250,000 identified in the CIP may not be necessary at this point, if we are to initiate the master plan process for the Carrillo Ranch, some initial seed money to begin this process would be beneficial in terms of expediting our park planning efforts. The implementation of the park master planning process at this time would ensure that whatever parkland dedication is offered by Rick Engineering and accepted by the City will present optimum results in terms of the future development of the Carrillo Ranch Park.
