RECOMMENDED ACTION :
Accept and file staff report.
ITEM EXPLANATION :
Staff recently received City Council authorization to proceed with efforts to acquire property for
the Industrial Recreation Site. The property is 10 acres in size, located in Zone 24 immediately
adjacent to Zone 5.
The Commission may recall the subject property being a site which was included as part of the
Commission tour of specific parksites during the April Commission meeting.
The attached report (Exhibit I) was prepared as part of the process to evaluate the opportunities
to secure a location for the Industrial Recreational Site. As identified in the report, several
alternatives exist to provide for the recreational needs of the industrial based population.
If acquisition attempts are successful, staff would anticipate working through the Commission,
with representatives of the industrial community in an effort to design the parksite incorporating
appropriate amenities.
Staff will present an update of the acquisition process to date, review the contents of the
alternative industrial recreation site locations and be available to answer any questions.

ALTERNATIVE INDUSTRIAL RECREATION SITE LOCATIONS
During the closed session City Council meeting on May 5, 1998, staff was requested to
prepare a report which provided alternative considerations for a site@) to provide for the
Industrial Recreation Facility. The subject site(s) will facilitate the development of
Recreation Areas for which fees are collected within Zones 5, 13, 16. The following is a
list of alternative locations which could meet the recreational needs of the industrial
based population:
1. ALBERT’S LANDING (MALLON) PROPERTY (Zone 24)
10 acres gross, approximately 9 acres net usable. Property appraised at
$2,550, 000 based upon $6.%,, per square ft. of usable property. Preliminary
park design work indicates the site could support:
Basketball courts
Volleyball
Parking
Park Service Road
1 baseball/softball field & multi-use open space free play area (turfed)
10,000 - 15,000 square feet fitness center
Corpora te/i nd ivid ual picnic a re as (w/vi s ta s)
This property is located in Zone 24, but it is immediately adjacent and contiguous to
Zone 5.
2. Zone 5
Although there are limited sites available within Zone 5, they are for the most
part smaller finished infill lots which would be suitable for one (I) or two (2)
recreational amenities. Over the last year, industrial and office rents have
appreciated rapidly. As a result, developable sites within this zone are becoming
scarce, willing sellers are limited and sale prices are skyrocketing. Approximate
land costs, if available are $10 -$12/sq. ft. with reported offers as high as
$20+/sq. ft. Several smaller parcels off Palomar Oaks Road are currently
available.

3. Zone 16
Located in the general vicinity North and West of the Carlsbad Raceway, its
present status is undeveloped and lacks infrastructure. It is also reported that
significant habitat issues exist within the Zone and has a major habitat corridor
as identified within the HMP.
In discussions with real estate agents, property values range within the $6.50/,w
sq. ft. range. Significant funding in addition to that would be required for
infrastructure, grading and probable mitigation. Access to the location will, in all
likelihood, become a issue and may necessarily be required through the Vista
Business Park. Consequently, it raises the question of user impact of the
recreational facility by employees of the Vista based industrial population.
4. ZONE13
According to Carlsbad based Real Estate agents, "Zone 13 property, if available,
is at a premium". With the exception of SDG&E holdings, the availability of
property (and willing sellers) within Zone 13 is unlikely. In all likelihood, the city's
ability to purchase land and develop a recreation area with existing and future
industrial recreation fees would not produce a facility which would be considered
adequate, in itself. A recreation facility provided within this zone, augmented
with another facility outside the zone may meet the needs and expectations, but
the reality remains a very expensive proposition.
The uncertainty of SDG&E holdings within Zone 13 may produce future
possibilities. However, at this time those possibilities, if any, remain unknown.
The future of SDG&E holdings may present interesting possibilities in any event.
5. FUTURE CITY PARKSITES (ADJACENT TO THE INDUSTRIAL COORIDOR)
In considering alternative locations that will provide and/or augment the
recreational needs of the industrial based population, staff would recommend
considering the use of future community park locations which are immediately
adjacent to the industrial corridor.
Currently, the industrial based population utilizes facilities at existing park
locations such as Stagecoach and Calavera Parks for corporate sponsored
noontime and evening basketball and softball league play. Group picnics are
also popular at existing parks and the Swim Complex provides noontime lap and
Master Swim programs. The open play turfed area at the Safety Center is also
heavily used.
Staff believes the City can further enhance the recreational opportunities of the
industrial based population in conjunction with the development of future park
sites which are in close proximity and immediately adjacent to the industrial
corridor. Moreover, priority scheduling during specific hours of operation would
coordinate and maximize facility use by the employee and community based
population.
2
b .' f laA
i i
I
rc
,"--
Specifically, the future park areas and amenities which would augment industrial
use are:
A. Veteran's Memorial Park (Macario Canyon)
If the development of a fitness center is determined to be an option,
consideration could be given to locate the facility in Macario in lieu of other
master planned amenities. Efforts could be made to maximize open space
free play/picnic areas, while priority scheduling of tennis facilities during noon
hours for industrial employees could also be implemented. The site is
contiguous with and immediately adjacent to Zone 5. Extension of Faraday
Road will facilitate ease of accessibility.
B. Zone 19 (Aviara)
Located immediately adjacent to and south of Zone 5, this future park site will
provide areas of open space free play, hard court surface and
baseball/softball field play during the noon hour. Scheduled use of lighted
ballfields would guarantee corporate league play on a specified number of
weekday evenings. There is a lack of easily accessible vehicular access
from Zone 5.
C. ALGA NORTE PARK
The City currently retains ar, irrevocable offer of dedication (I.O.D.) for up to
32.9 acres of land for the Alga Norte Park site from the Villages of La Costa.
The sits is located immediately south of Zone 17 (Bressi) and is immediately
east and adjacent to Zone 5.
Based on estimated dwelling units and an established park credit, the
anticipated park dedication requirement from Villages of La Costa will be 11
acres. Consequently, if the City decides to retain the entire 32.9 acre Alga
Node Park site, we will be required to pay for 21.9 acres at a rate of
$1 75,00O/ac. ($3,832,500)
Because the Alga Node site is identified as a future Community Park, its
minimum size according to the Parks Element must be 20 acres. At a size of
20 acres, the Park Standard in the Southeast Quadrant at build out would still
be exceeded by 4.75 acres and the Recreational requirements of the
residents would be met. By releasing the I.O.D. for the remaining 12.9 acres,
the City would only be required to pay for 9 acres of land at $175,00O/acre.
($1,575,000)
In staffs opinion, consideration should be given to retaining the I.O.D. for the
12.9 acres and utilize Industrial Park fees to purchase/develop those acres as
an industrial park site in conjunction with a 20 acre Alga Norte Community
Park site. With visionary park design and priority scheduling of park amenity
use, the combined facility could create enhanced recreation opportunities for
3
,-
f
industrial em[ jees and community residents. T If L [ypes Of amenities which
could be provided at this site would be:
50 meter Swim Complex
Lighted baseball/softball complex
Hard court play surfaces
Roller Hockey
Fitness Center
0 Picnic/Open SpacelFree Play etc.
6. Golf Course Property
As part of the plans which are proposed for the Carlsbad Municipal Golf Course,
there are three (3) individual lots ranging in size from 5 to 8 acres that may serve
as lease or sale property for industrial development. The concept is that these
lots will be graded to pad as part of the golf course project and because of their
location frontage to Palomar Airport Road and / or College Blvd., will provide
significant leaselsale revenue as a means of offsetting the cost of the golf course
project.
Depending upon a number of factors, this property may provide some
opportunity to create an industrial recreation site. However, the value of the
property should be weighed heavily both in terms of ongoing lease revenue or
premium sale price to the City versus consideration for use as a recreational site.
Due to the size of the parcels and depending on the types of amenities, the
individual sites could provide three (3) or four (4) recreational uses per lot.
Consequently, this alternative might best be considered as a way in which to
augment another site chosen for industrial recreation if necessary.
If you should have any further questions, please call me at extension 2827.
