UPDATE (ACTION)
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve revisions to the Parks and Recreation Element of the General Plan.
ITEM EXPLANATION;
The Parks and Recreation Element was approved by Council in September 1991.
Since that time, the Planning Department, via Council direction has undertaken a
complete revision to the City's General Plan. The revision in essence updates all
elements contained within the General Plan and brings them in to conformance with
each other.
Because the Parks and Recreation Element had recently been revised and updated,
the changes to the former element are relatively few and do not significantly alter the
intent of what the Commission and Council has previously approved. However, the
primary changes to this document do include;
1. Formatting changes in the text
2. Statements relating to open space and the trails system (for consistency with
the Open Space Element).
3. Recommendations made by the Commission since September 1991 (i.e.
exclusion of split pavilion from the parks inventory)
4. Modifications of the population figures and the impact to the future park
acreage (as per Growth Management).
For a more detailed break down of the element revisions, please refer to the attached
staff report and revised Park and Recreation Element.
Staff will give a brief report and respond to any inquiries the Commission may have.

REVISED PARKS AND RECREATION ELEMENT
As part of the General Plan update, all Elements of the General Plan are being updated,
including the Parks and Recreation Element. The Parks and Recreation Element was last
revised in September 1991. As the Element was recently updated, there are not many
changes recommended. The major changes or revisions that have been made to the
element include the following:
A. The Background section was updated by deleting references to previous element
amendments.
B. The language in the State Law section was modified slightly to be consistent with
the other elements of the General Plan.
C. The language in the Relationships to Other Elements section was modified slightly
to be consistent with the other elements of the General Plan.
D. The Growth Management Program section was modified by adding that the number
of dwelling units identified in Proposition E was estimated at 54,600. Population
estimates both existing and buildout, were changed to reflect the best data available
as of June 1992.
E. The Park and Recreational Needs Generated By Industrial Uses section was modified
by identifying that the park mitigation fee was also a requirement of Local Facilities
Management Zones 13 and 16.
F. The Park Inventory Introduction section was modified by identifying three Special
Resource Areas and one Community Park as Regional Open Space Parks. The
Regional Open Space Park designation is a regional designation established by
SANDAG in their Regionally Significant Open Space report. Staff is recommending
that these park sites be identified in the Carlsbad General Plan as Regional Open
Space Parks consistent with the recommendations of SANDAG's Regional Growth
Management Strategy.
G. The Future Recreational Development section was modified by consolidating the
information of the Anticipated Future Park Development Projects section into a
table. We believe that new Table 3 more clearly describes the information
previously included in the element as a list. Also, language has been added to this
-<- 17
PAGE TWO
section summarizing the Recreational Facility Financing Committee
recommendations.
H. The format of the Goals. Objectives and Implementing Policies and Action Programs
section was modified to be consistent with the other elements of the General Plan.
In particular, some objectives have been moved to the policy section, as they were
originally articulated as policies rather than objectives, and new objectives have
been added to address existing policies (all policies must have corresponding
objectives, although objectives need not have implementing policies). In addition,
the following Goals, Objectives or Policies have been amended or added to be
Consistent with the other elements of the General Plan, including the Open Space
and Conservation Element.
1. Policies C.10 and C.ll, of the Park Development section, have been written
to reflect the trail recommendations of the Open Space and Conservation
Resource Management Plan, accepted by Council in September 1992.
2. Policy C.21, of the Park Development section, has been added to reflect
biological and conservation concerns of the habitat management planning
effort and the Open Space and Conservation Resource Management Plan.
3. Policy C.6, of the Recreation Programs section, was added to be consistent
with the Recommendations of the Open Space and Conservation Resource
Management Plan.
I. A Parks and Recreation Development Plan summary section has been added to the
element. This section was added to summarize the information of the element and
to provide a reference to the park location maps and the Uses in Recreation Areas
Table.
J. The inventory included in the Uses in Recreation Areas Table was modified by
deleting sculpture park in the northwest quadrant, and by adding the ballfields in
the northeast quadrant. Additionally, future park demand acreages have been
modified to reflect the new population estimates (obtained from the 1990 Census)
accepted by the City Council in 1992. The decreased population estimates have
resulted in a lower demand for future parkland. The park buildout demands have
been reduced appropriately reflecting the new census data.
K. The Glossary of Terms has been deleted from the element. The terms will be
included in the General Plan Glossary.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. BACKGROUND
The City of Carlsbad is strongly committed to the development of park facilities and
recreation programs to meet the needs of its citizens, tourists and employees. The
City has determined that park and recreation facilities contribute significantly to the
quality of life of its residents, and consequently, have required a Parks and
Recreation Element to establish the foundation for current operation and future
development of park facilities and recreation programs.
The intent of this element is to provide the policy framework by which the City will
plan, develop, and provide quality active and passive park facilities and recreational
programs to ensure that the residents, tourists, and employees of Carlsbad are
afforded the opportunity to enjoy optimum leisure experiences.
B. STATE LAW
Under State Law (Section 65000 et seq. California Government Code) all cities and
counties must adopt a General Plan with seven (7) mandatory elements which
include: land use, circulation, housing, conservation, open space, noise, and safety.
In 1985, the state law was amended to allow cities and counties to include other
elements in its general plan which, in the judgement of the City Council, relate to
the physical development of the City. The City Council has determined that the
planning and development of parks facilities and recreation programs are an integral
part of the physical development of the City, and must be included as part of its
General Plan.
C R.T.ATmNSHlPS TO Q
California law requires that General Plans contain an integrated, internally
consistent set of policies. This Parks and Recreation Element, although not
mandatory, has been prepared consistent with all other Elements of the General
Plan.
Additionally, goals, objectives and implementing policies and action programs have
been fbonulated to be consistent with the objectives established in the City's Local
Coastal Program.
The Parks and Recreation Element is strongly influenced by the Land Use Element,
in that each recreational facility has been located within a compatible land use
area. This Element does not dictate specific locations for recreational facilities,
with the exception of special resource areas, but rather recommends general areas
and site criteria for future recreational facility development.
vm-i
- 21
The Parks and Recreation and Open Space and Conservaton Elements have a strong
relationship. The Open Space and Conservation Element identifies areas desirable
for future open space. These areas are geographically shown on the Conceptual
Open Space and Conservation Map and may be suitable for recreational activities.
The Parks and Recreation Element proposes recreational use in some of these areas
when they are compatible to land use and potentially appropriate to public
recreational needs. The intent of the Parks and Recreation Element, however, is not
to establish land use policies for these areas, but rather to provide recreational
opportunity within the context of the existing General Plan policies.
The Circulation Element contains designated bicycle routes and pedestrian access
provisions so it bears a relationship with the Parks and Recreation Element.
Finally, because the classification of parks (size, location, recreational amenities)
relates to the amount and location of the population, the Parks and Recreation
Element is related to the Housing Element.
D. OUIMBYACT
The principle authorities for parkland dedication include the Subdivision Map Act
and the Quimby Act (California Government Code Section 66477). The Quimby Act
was established by the California Legislature in 1965, in response to California's
increased rate of urbanization and the need to preserve open space and provide
parks for California's growing communities.
"Quimby" provides local government with the authority to place into law an
ordinance requiring developers to provide land and/or fees to acquire and develop
parks and recreation facilities.
Parkland dedication or in-lieu fees, as they relate to Carlsbad, are identified in the
Municipal Code (Chapter 20.44). Simply stated, the ordinance requires the
dedication of three (3) acres of land for community parks and special uses areas for
each 1,000 population. In addition to this required dedication of three (3) acres for
park purposes, an additional City standard not required of the development
community identifies 2.5 acres per 1,000 population for special resource areas.
E. GROWTH MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
As part of the City's Growth Management Plan, a performance standard for parks
was adopted. The park performance standard requires that three (3) acres of
Community Park and Special Use Area per 1,000 population within a park district
(quadrant) must be scheduled for construction within five (5) years. Special
Resource Area acreage does not count towards meeting this performance standard.
The program further requires that this standard be met before any additional
VIII-2
development may occur within a park district. The program also enables the City
to project and provide accurately for future park demands.
Proposition E, approved by the voters November 4, 1986, estimated the number of
dwelling units to be built with the City at 54,600. Table 1: Park Acreage Demand,
summarizes the estimated amount of dwelling units per quadrant with a
corresponding estimated population and park acreage requirement at buildout.

F. PARK AND RECREATTPNAJr NF-F-DS GENERATED BY INDUSTRIAL USES
Although the Quimby Act itself does not apply to industrial or commercial
subdivisions, a local agency is permitted to impose fees or exactions as a condition
of approval of a proposed development, provided those fees and exactions do not
exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service or facility. In
addition, the Growth Management Ordinance (CMC § 21.90) authorizes special
facility fees to pay for improvements or facilities which are related to new
ili i ilnpaMiit Since there is a substantial impact on existing recreation facilities
from «i increasing industrial employment base, a need to impose and implement a
park mftiptfjin" fee for industrial development was recognized and created. In
November 1987, the City Council adopted its first park mitigation fee for the Zone
5 Local Facilities Management Plan. Additionally, a park mitigation fee was
required as part of the Zone 16 Local Facilities Management Plan and is also
provided for in the adopted Zone 13 Local Facilities Management Plan. The purpose
of a fee is to ensure adequate recreational facilities to accommodate the demand
VHI-3
22
created for them by the daily influx of the industrial work force and population as
industrial development grows throughout the City.
G. PARK INVENTORY INTRODUCTION
The pre-1982 Parks and Recreation Element emphasized more passive use concepts
with the acquisition and development of smaller neighborhood, mini, and vest
pocket parks. Additionally, natural open space areas, meant to serve as connective
corridors and greenways throughout the City, were accepted as park requirements
dedicated under the Quimby Ordinance. Due to the characteristics of these natural
open space areas, many of the sites once accepted for park purposes are considered
undevelopable by today's park development standards.
Today, current and future parkland dedicated under the Quimby Ordinance is
subject to more stringent conditions than were once required. Noting the shift in
acquisition policy, developable parkland is considered to be buildable acreage similar
to acreage associated with the subdivision for which dedication is required.
Typically, it has slopes of less than 10% and is not to be located in an area on
which building is excluded due to environmental constraints as defined by City
ordinance, geological constraints, flooding, easements, or other encumbrances
and/or restrictions.
The revised 1982 Parks and Recreation Element indicated a shift in recreational
trends toward those uses which are more active in nature. In order to accommodate
those trends, parkland dedication requirements became geared toward the
acquisition of developable parkland which could provide both active and passive use.
Carlsbad's present park development philosophy concentrates on providing larger
community parks which incorporate a balance of both active and passive
recreational amenities. The result has created a more realistic park program in
terms of meeting the recreational needs of the residents, tourists, employees, the
Growth Management requirements, and is more financially feasible from an
operational and maintenance standpoint.
The development of Mini and Vest Pocket Parks is no longer pursued primarily
because of the reduced use and the high cost of maintenance. Because these parks
typically provide one or two recreational uses, they have been incorporated within
the cuncat Special Use Area park classification. Sites once acknowledged as
Neighborhood Parks have been incorporated Cgrandfathered") into the Community
Park classification, and although they may not meet the current acreage
requirement, they do provide amenities characteristic of the Community Park
category.
Vin-4
1. PRIMARY PARK CJ.ASSIFICATIONS
Presently, the Qty of Carlsbad's Parkland Inventory is composed of three primary
park classifications:
Community Parks
Special Use Areas
Special Resource Areas
Although these classifications are the basis for the City's standards to assure
optimum park and recreational facilities, three special resource areas and one
community park have been identified as Regional Open Space Parks within the San
Diego Association of Governments Report, "Regionally Significant Open Space". The
standards for each park classification are as follows:
Community Parks 2.5 acres/1,000 population
Special Use Areas .5 acres/1.000 population
(Collectable Park Standard) 3.0 acres/1,000 population
Special Resource Areas 2.5 acres/1.000 population
OVERALL PARK AC STANDARD: 5.5 ACRES/1,000 POPULATION
The City defines these Park Gassifications as follows:
Community Parks - These are leisure facilities, approximately 20 to 50 acres in size;
however, due to the 1982 revision of the Park and Recreation Element to the
General Plan, pre-1982 neighborhood parks of less than 20 acres have been
reclassified and "Grandfathered" into the Community Park classification. This
reclassification was approved by the Parks and Recreation Commission in May 1987
and by the City Council in August 1987. Any future acquisition and development
of community park sites within the northwest quadrant, where a near buildout
situation exists, in all likelihood will require community park development of sites
under 20 acres in size.
Typica%; Community Parks are designed to serve the recreational needs of several
neighboAoods. The nature of this type of facility encourages and attracts family
unit populations from a nearby vicinity on a daily frequency. Community Parks
generally provide active and passive use amenities; however, they are not limited
to the exclusive use of either.
VIII-5
- 23
Minimum facilities should include:
Family-oriented picnic areas
Group picnic areas
Turfed open space areas for free play
Multi-purpose playfield(s) (lighted when appropriate)
Tot lot areas
Structures for lectures, meetings, skills, instructions, etc.
Buffer areas
Special use facilities such as swimming pools, tennis courts, horseshoes,
handball and racquetball courts, bicycle paths, etc. as per specific community
demand may be located within these parks if appropriate to the interest and
need of the community in which the park is located.
The service radius for community park sites is approximately two miles. The
primary access orientation is vehicular. It is therefore established that
community parks should be located adjacent to a secondary arterial or
circulation route of greater hierarchy as defined within the Circulation
Element.
Special Use Areas • These are typically local facilities that contain only one or two
activity type uses, either passive or active in nature. They are between one to five
acres in size and generally provide the basic universally accepted facilities found in
a community park site. Facilities of this type are, but not limited 10, swim, tennis
or racquetball complexes, meeting halls, athletic complexes, play lots, picnic and
interpretive walk areas.
Based on City Council action in August 1987, and confirmed in November of 1990,
community school activity fields can be incorporated within the Special Use Area
classification and included within the Park Area Inventory. However, only these
current school sites which operate under "joint-use11 facility agreements between the
City of Carlsbad and the corresponding school district are, in fact, incorporated
within the Parks Inventory.
The pre-1982 Parks and Recreation Element included mini and vest pocket
paries. The revised 1982 Parks and Recreation Element has incorporated
these parks into the special use category which typically defines the nature
of these areas.
Adequate access should be a primary siting criteria utilized in determining
the location of a Special Use Area.
Special Resource Areas - These are local amenities that have either Citywide or
potential regional significance. The significance is in the quality of the site that
VIII-6
makes it unique as either a passive and/or active recreation area; this quality may
be of a natural (water, geological, ecological, etc.), historical (architectural, etc.),
or a combination thereof. Consequently, the Special Resource Area as defined has
a visitor attraction or drawing power to users locally and beyond.
Typically, Special Resource Areas provide a unique character and/or use not found
in Community Parks or Special Use Ares. In general, they are larger than
community parks. They are recreational sites characterized by the existence of a
special or unusual feature, natural or manmade, i.e., a water body, earth formation,
historical amenity, ecological reserve, etc.
2. ACTIVE/PASSIVE AREAS
In addition to a parks primary classification, the City may describe a park as
containing active and/or passive areas. Parks can be developed with either active
or passive park amenities or a combination of both. Active park areas typically
provide a form of organized, supervised, often extracurricular recreation. Park
amenities denoting active use may include gymnasiums, swim complexes, multi-use
ballfields, tot lots, hard court play surfaces, volleyball, horseshoe areas, or a
combination thereof.
Passive park areas often provide minimal or no amenities associated with
active use. The very nature of passive use implies undemonstrative,
nonparticipating, complacent, subdued activity. Park amenities generally
associated with passive use include nature trails, walkways, picnic tables,
benches, and small turf and/or landscaped areas.
3. REGIONAL OPEN SPACE PARKS
Three special resource areas and one community park (Lake Calavera, Agua
Hedionda Lagoon, Veteran's Memorial, and Batiquitos Lagoon) have been identified
as Regional Open Space Parks in addition to their primary city park classification.
These sites have been identified as Regional Open Space Parks consistent with the
recommendations of the San Diego Association of Governments' (SANDAG) report,
^ffJQPjJlY Significant Open Space - Definition. Although parks have been identified
as part of die regional park system, they will continue to function pursuant to their
primary park classification as identified above. The identification of a city park as
a RegHXttl Open Space Park simply denotes that the park is part of the region's park
system.
A regional park is a major park that may contain any one or combination of such
attributes as natural beauty, unique topographic features, historical structures or
unusual scenery. Such parks are usually developed for at least two outdoor
activities, but the greatest part of the acreage may remain as undeveloped open
VIII-7
- 24
space. Usually a regional park has at least 200 acres, 50 acres of which are usable.
The size may be smaller for unique regional resources.
H. MTSTpyj-ANEOUS LANDSCAPE/OPEN SPACE AREAS
Miscellaneous landscape/open space areas are secondary classifications within the
park inventory. This category has been established to provide accountability for
additional acreage currently under maintenance responsibility of the Park Operations
Division, however, is not useable to meet the City's park standards. In addition,
accountability is provided for the natural open space areas once considered as
parkland; however, by today's standards, they are not considered to be conducive
to park use and/or development. These miscellaneous landscape/open space areas
are identified in Appendix 1, Miscellaneous Landscape/Open Space Areas.
i. PACK ny STANDARDS

J. FUTURE RECREATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Several areas have been earmarked for future park development and identified in
the current park inventory. Although the timing for acquisition and development
depends primarily on the requirements of the Growth Management program as
development occurs, the City Council ultimately approves the financing methods for
acquisition, construction, and ongoing maintenance and operation costs.
Typically, parkland acquisition is provided under the Quimby Ordinance and/or
park-in-lieu fees, while development funds are provided by the Public Facilities Fee.
Future park acquisition and development projects are, for the most part, identified
in the Capital Improvement Program Budget. However, actual development may be
VIII-9
25
subject to delay based upon demand, the priority established for Public Facility
construction and the cost associated with ongoing maintenance and operation.
Additional funding sources for acquisition, development, maintenance and operation,
or rehabilitation may be provided by general obligation bonds, special taxes, state
and federal park bond acts, assessment districts or donations.
Prior to acceptance, all future parkland acquisition is subject to a stringent
environmental review process to identify and eliminate constraints in an effort to
maximize site potential in terms of park development. Public review during the
master planning process of all future park sites will guarantee the recreational needs
of the community are being addressed. Table 3: Anticipated Future Park
Development Projects, summarizes the anticipated future parks to be developed in
the City.

In addition to these anticipated future parks, the City Council, on March 7, 1989, directed
the Parks and Recreation Commission to incorporate the recommendations of the
Recreation Facility Financing Committee within this Element. The Recreational Facility
Financing Committee consisted of eleven (11) Carlsbad Citizens whose goal was: (1) to
identify recreational amenities as outlined in proposition M (Carlsbad City Ordinance No.
NS-29); and, (2) to recommend alternative funding methods for the development of these
amenities. The committee recommended to provide the following Facilities:
o Two (2) Municipal Golf Courses

service dubs, civic groups, individual donors or organizations shall be consistent
with the standards/guidelines of this element.
C.10 Provide, if feasible, a Carlsbad Trail System to be owned and maintained by the
City, and wherever possible, the trail system shall be used to provide linkage
between park facilities.

appropriate. These smaller recreation areas will be maintained by a homeowners'
association or through a property owners' tax maintenance district unless the area
is specifically designated as a public use area by the City.
C.20 Establish a program that encourages private owners and public agencies to sell,
dedicate, donate or lease, at minimal cost, surplus land to provide land suitable for
recreational use.
C.21 Consider the following during the development of Park Master Plans: Developing
specific sites to minimize impacts to biological resources; visual impacts of the
development of park sites; expanding minimum buffers around sensitive resources;
utilizing natural plant species in park projects; incorporating plant species which
provide food such as seeds, nuts and berries for wildlife and bird species; protecting
and buffering drinking water sources such as small ponds and wetland areas; and,
limiting turf grass use to recreational areas.
C.22 Work cooperatively with specialized user groups to identify, acquire and develop
land for their exclusive use.

m. PARKS AND RECREATION DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The City of Carlsbad Growth Management Plan establishes the mechanism by which the
City acquires and develops parkland in the City. The Growth Management Plan further
enables the City to project accurately for future park demands. Consistent with the City's
Growth Management Plan, a minimum of three (3) acres of Community Park and Special
Use Area per 1,000 population, will be provided within each of the four (4) park districts
of the City. Table 4: Estimated Park Acreage at Buildout, summarizes the projected total
acres of Community park and Special Use Area to be provided within each park district at
Buildout (See Map 1 for the location of park districts). Based on an estimated buildout
population of 126,552*, the City's park standard would require 404.74 acres of parkland
at buildout. As can be seen in Table 4, that approximately 417.65 acres of parkland will
be provided in the City at buildout, exceeding the standard by approximately 38 acres.
