PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION - AGENDA BILL 0 INFO AB# 499-8 TITLE :
MTG. DATE: 4/19/99 LA COSTA YOUTH ORGANIZATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION :
DEPT. CSD
DIV. REC
STAFF: BETTIN
Staff recommends that no action be taken regarding a City commitment to schedule use of
playfields at the future La Costa Valley site until LCYO and Lightning Soccer can resolve
outstanding issues and requirements outlined to staff by the San Dieguito Union High School
District .
(LCYO) REQUEST ACTION
ITEM EXPLANATION :
Staff received a request from LCYO to provide ballfield scheduling services for the advanced
development of activity playfields at the site of a future junior high school in the La Costa Valley
development. This request was presented to the Commission at the March 15* meeting by LCYO
and Lightning Soccer and was directed back to staff by the Commission for further research.
Staff contacted Eric Hall, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services with the San Dieguitg Union
High School District, to discuss the matter. Mr. Hall estimated the timeline for construction on the school to begin in approximately 2004-2005. At this time, the school district does not own the subject property. However, it is anticipated a future school site will yield approximately 21 acres. The district
estimates seven acres will be developed into fields. The following outstanding issues/requirements
were identified to staff by the school district as requiring resolution prior to the district considering
approval of this request for advanced development of activity playfields. Staff will discuss each issue
in more detail during the presentation.
0 Planning and design of site approved by district
0 Lease of property and/or use agreement
\ Liability and indemnification provided by other organizations (including the City)
Access road and parking must be provided by organizations
0 School District ownership of site
0 Future use expectations
Provisions for utilities, restroom facilities, ongoing maintenance
The school district indicated they would not be responsible for any of the above issues, but would
require provisions for all these issues and approval of each by their school board.
Staff would recommend that further negotiations take place between LCYOLightning Soccer and the
school district to resolve all issues. Once this occurs staff would recommend the Commission
reconsider this request to schedule the facility until the school construction is completed. However,
once the school site is developed, staff would recommend relinquishing the scheduling responsibilities
to the school district.
