CITY OF CARLSBAD -0 AGENDA BILL AB# 16; 1 oa TITLE : MTG . -3-b4/ DEPT. Recreation ZONE 19 PARK MASTER PLAN RECOMMENDED ACTION : Adopt Resolution No. 400 1 - 7.3 , approving the Zone 19 Communtty Park Master Pian and direct staff to proceed with environmental and permit processing: ITEM EXPLANATION : Zone 19 Community Park is 24 acre park located in the Southwest Quadrant of the City and in the northern portion of the Aviara community (refer to Exhibit 2). Development of the park is outlined in the Parks and Recreation Element of the General Plan and is needed to meet the standards established under the Growth Management Pian (3 acres park per 1000 population). A project design team was formed that consisted of City staff from various departments as well as the City’s park ptanners, P&D Consultants. After data gathering, site analysis, and preliminary discussions of the initial program for the park, several conceptual layouts were produced for consrderation. On November 20, 2000, staff presented an update on the progress of the master pian to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Staff explained two alternative park layouts and described the proposed public outreach program. An “open house/ public workshop” was held on December 7,2000 at the Dove Library. The workshop was noticed using mailings and newspaper advertisements. Staff and the consultants were in attendance to explain the exhibits and to encourage input from the attendees. Comment forms were provided. Approximately 45 residents attended the open house and staff received valuable input from the citizens. 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 recommended the “preferred alternative”. The proposed Zone 19 Park Master Plan is attached as Exhibit 3. Amenities include: One I *Large soccer field w/ 2 smaller 1 I One I Community center (approx. 17,000 over-lay fields square feet) One Restrooms Two *Basketball courts (half court Two Large picnic area One *Ball field design) Walkways and trails Parking (approx. 175 spaces) One ‘will include sports lights. Maintenance bldg . One Large tot lot ~ The community center is intended to be different than the City’s other community centers. It will >e slightly smaller and will not include a gymnasium. The vision for the center is to accommodate meetings, banquets, weddings, dance classes, and other like uses. Additionally, here will be a “senior component” that will include a dedicated “senior family” room for “drop in” ;ervices that cater to seniors (e.g. library, meeting rooms, computer station, occasional health iervices, etc). The architecture is proposed to present a generally higher quality of aesthetics han the more purely functional designs of Calavera Hills and Stagecoach community :enter/gymnasiums. EXHIBIT I The recommended plan was presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission on January 22, 2001. After reading a letter addressed to the Commission advocating the development of a new pool complex as soon as possible, and hearing public comment from a citizen requesting the same, the Commission directed staff to investigate the possibility of incorporating a pool into the Master Plan. The incorporation of an Olympic size pool complex into the plan wobld result in the displacement of the soccer fields and either the community center or baseball field. Currently, the Capital Improvement Program outlines the future pool to be located in Alga Node Park. For a variety of reasons, staff continues to believe that this is the best location for the pool and recommends the Zone 19 Community Park Master Plan be approved as presented, Finally, due to the “senior component” of the community center, staff presented the plan to the Senior Commission on February 1, 2001. The item was informational only, and the Commission generally approved of the plan. Should Council approve the Master Plan, staff will proceed with submittal of the plan for environmental review and processing of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission. Should Council wish to investigate including a pool at Zone 19 Park, staff will conduct additional design studies, and return to the Parks and Recreation Commission and/or City Council for further direction. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW No environmental review has taken place to date on the Zone 19 Community Park. The site itself was identified in the Pacific Rim (a.k.a., Aviara) Master Plan Environmental Impact Report (1987) as a future park site. Staff is requesting that Council approve the Zone 19 Community Park Master Plan and direct staff to submit the project for environmental review and processing of a Conditional Use Permit. c FISCAL IMPACT: In the Fiscal Year 2000-2001 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), Council has appropriated the following funds: Phase Phase I Budget Account Fiscal Year Description of work $3,030,000 Public Facility Fee 2010-2020 Community Center Phase II $4,898,000 Public Facility Fee 2001-2002 Entire park (less community ctr.) TOTAL $7,928,000 In the proposed FY 2001-2002 CIP, staff has presented a recommendation to increase the park construction budget (based on the preliminary cost estimates developed through the Master Plan process), as well as merging Phase I and II (to complete the entire park at one time). These funding issues are anticipated to be addressed by Council during the upcoming CIP review. EXHIBITS: IC 1. Resolution No.J&/*?Japproving the Zone 19 Community Park Master Plan 2. Location Map 3.
