PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION -AGENDA BILL AB# 101 -8 STAFF: STEYAERT ZONE 19 PARK PRELIMINARY MASTER MTG. DATE: 1/22/01 TITLE : RECOMMENDED ACTION : PROCEDURE RECOMMENDATION 0 INFO PLAN APPROVAL AND PARK NAMING ACTION Approve the Zone 19 Park Preliminary Master Plan including the “preferred concept plan”, community center plan, park and building programs. Recommend procedure for selecting a name for the park. ITEM EXPLANATION : MASTER PLAN On September 19, 2000, the Zone 19 Park Master Plan process was started with a “kick - off meeting with the design team. The City design team consists of City staff from Recreation, Parks, Community Development, Planning, and Engineering as well as the City’s park planning consultants, and P&D Consultants of San Diego. The following tasks have been completed to date: 1. Site topographical mapping. 2. Site analysis including opportunities and constraints mapping showing utilities, biology, and archeological and paleontological surveys. 3. Project meetings to determine the desired park program. 4. Preparation of alternative conceptual park layouts. On December 7, 2000, the City hosted an “Open House / Workshop” at the Dove Library. The purpose was to invite the public to participate in the park planning process. Public notice included mailings to all homeowners within 600’ of the park, handing out flyers at Villa Loma (the affordable housing project on El Camino Real and Cassia), sending flyers to other Aviara Home Owner Associations as well as all the organized sport groups, and posting an add in the North County Times twice. Finally, there were articles in the North County Times describing the open house. The majority of the design team was in attendance to answer questions and gather input from the public. All the pertinent data from thesite analysis as well as two alternative site layouts were displayed for the public. Only 40 - 50 people attended, and of those, 28 filled out the “Public Comment Forms” that were provided. Although the turnout was low, the interaction with those in attendance, as well as the information provided on the input forms, helped the design team with formulating the plan. Exhibit 1 is a summary of the public comments from the input forms. Following the public meeting, the design team met and analyzed the public input. Along with the expertise of staff, they developed the final program for the park and selected the “preferred alternative”. The major difference between the alternatives was the location of the community center. One alternative places the community center in the eastern portion of the site. The second alternative places the community center on the highest western point of the park site. This second alternative was ultimately considered the optimum location to place the building because of the extensive views to the west and of the ocean. (427 AB# 101-8 Page 2 .- With input from the community, and staffs expertise in recognizing current recreational facilities needs, the following park program was developed: 1. *(One) ballfield (275’ outfield) 2. *(One) adult sized soccer field (360’x225’) with (two) smaller over-lay soccer fields (31 0x1 80 ea.) 3. *(Two) basketball courts (half court design) 4. (One) large tot-lot 5. Group picnic areas 6. (Two) restrooms 7. Walkways 8. Parking for approx. 280 cars. 9. (One) community center (approx. 18,000 sf.) *will include sports lights. The community center is intended to be unique from the City’s other community centers. It will be meetings, banquets, weddings, dance classes, and other like uses. Additionally, there will be a “senior component” that will include a dedicated “senior family” room for “drop in” services that cater to seniors (e.g. library, meeting rooms, computer station, occasional health services, etc). The design of the center is proposed to present a higher quality of aesthetics than the more institutional and functional designs of Calavera Hills and Stagecoach community centedgyms. - slightly smaller and will not include a gymnasium. The vision for the center is to accommodate After the Commission’s input, the design team will finalize the Zone 19 Park Master Plan. Staff anticipates presenting the plan to the City Council for their approval on February 13th. Following Councils approval, the plan will be submitted for environmental review, permit processing, and Planning Commission review. PARK NAMING Staff is also asking the Commission to consider a process for naming the park. Attached is the Council Policy No. 48 for naming parks (Exhibit 2). The public input forms for the Zone 19 Park open house included a place to write in suggested park names. Those suggestions are as follows: 1. Let the children from Aviara Oaks decide (suggested twice). 2. La Costa Community Park (I don’t think this is in La Costa! ) 3. Carlsbad Community Center 4. Aviara Community Center. 5. Blink 182 Park (is this a rock band?) 6. Oaks Park 7. Seaport Park 8. Skyview Park 9. Aviara Community Park (suggested twice) IO. Dave Bradstreet (if wasn’t me! ) 11. Chaparral Park 12. Slipknot Park (? ) 13. Poinsettia Park (don’t we already have one of these? Maybe Son of Poinseftia Park? ) - r AB# 10118 Page 3 E - Considering the few suggestions, and the short time that the public had to consider a name, staff is recognizes that it may be appropriate to seek additional public input. Some alternatives to consider are: 1. Have a name the park contest. Solicit names via the newspaper. 2. Have Aviara Middle and Elementary School hold the contest. 3. The Commission could select from the names submitted above or create their own list and ask the public which of the selected names they would prefer. 4. The Commission could create their own recommendations (either from the above list or modification of the names above) for Council to consider. Staff feels any of the above alternatives would be in compliance with the park naming policy. EXHIBITS: 1. Public input summary 2. Park Naming Policy 3.

The single adult field will overlay the two youth / practice fields. 2. It is assumed that the programmed tot lot will accommodate 3 times as many people as the standard tot lot for which we have parking requirements. 3. Since the actual uses for the Community Building have not been determined, the number of users and parking requirements are an estimate. 4. Parking for the Maintenance Facility will be accommodated within the Maintenance Facility area. 5. Total assumes all facilities will be in use simultaneously. It is assumed that the separate restroom buildings, which are programmed, will generate no additional users on their own.
