PLAN SERVICES FOR PINE SCHOOL PARK DEPT. Recreation
CONSULTANT AGREEMENT FOR PARK MASTER
RECOMMENDED ACTION :
“t
Adopt Resolution No. 2002-108 approving the consultant agreement with Schmidt
Design Group for master planning of Pine School Park.
ITEM EXPLANATION :
The City Council has approved funds in the Fiscal Year 2001-2002 Capital Improvement
Program for master planning of Pine School Park. The proposed 7-acre park is located in the
Northwest Quadrant of the City, bordered by Pine Avenue, Harding Street, Chestnut Avenue and
the Madison Street alley. The site is the former location of Pine Elementary School and was
purchased by the City in 2000.
The first step in the Master Plan process is selection of a park planning consultant. Staff sent out
Requests for Qualifications and received 12 submittals. A Review Committee of 6 staff and 2
Parks and Recreation Commissioners evaluated the submittals, short-listed 4 firms, and after
interviews, unanimously recommended the award-winning firm of Schmidt Design Group (‘SD”’)
as the most qualified to assist the City in preparing a park Master Plan.
SDG’s scope of work includes data collection, opportunities and constraints analysis, public
outreach, preliminary park design alternatives, final Master Plan, and participation in
presentations to Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council.
There is also a public art component to the project and it is proposed that the artist will be hired
separately from the contract with SDG. The Art’s Office will issue a Request for Qualifications
and will make a recommendation as to the most qualified artist for this project. It is anticipated
that the artist will be involved during the master plan process in order to integrate the art into the
design of the park.
PROPOSED MASTER PLAN PROCESS
To begin the planning process, staff would recommend that a community workshop be held
which includes City Council participation. As such, the workshop would assume the structure of
a regularly noticed City Council meeting. However, the only agenda item would be dedicated to
the future of the park site. During the initial meeting, staff would propose outlining several
existing planning documents which, to date, have contributed to a vision for this community park.
Such documents include, but are not limited to, the Parks and Recreation Element of the
Carlsbad General Plan, the Capital Improvement Program Budget, and the Park Site Facility
Standards and Guidelines for community park construction. These documents, while flexible, are
typically used as starting point for discussions around new park programming.
After considering the planning documents, the size and location of the site, and most importantly,
previously received public input, staff would request that Council establish “guiding principles’’ for
the park development. More specifically, staff would look to the Council to establish “parameters”
within which to create the park Master Plan. For example, the “guiding principles” or “parameters”
might consider such things as including or restricting the development of a swimming pool, a
EXHIBIT I I?”
Page 2
community center/gymnasium, or a cultural center. Other considerations might include additional
areas, which should or shouldn’t be considered in the Master Plan (i.e. Chase Field, the recently
purchased Madison Street properties, etc.)
By establishing the “guiding principles” of this park Master Plan, any subsequent public input
process can become more focused on the ultimate recommendations for development of this
It has been determined that approval of the consultant agreement for master planning services of
Pine School Park is exempt from CEQA Guidelines under Government Code Section 15306. I FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff has negotiated a contract for the master planning with SDG for $155,309, There is currently
an available balance of $683,000 in the Pine School Park account (Public Facility Fee funds) that
will cover the cost of the master planning effort. These funds are also earmarked for the
demolition of existing school buildings and implementation of the “interim use plan” adopted by
Council last year. A separate Agenda Bill will be following shortly to address the demolition
project.

April 2, 2002
To All Interested Parties:
This letter is meant to inform you of the status of several issues that are
presently occurring with respect to the Pine School Property. Over the past
several months, City staff has been actively involved in the following efforts
which will soon have a direct impact on the site, they include:
The Geotechnical and Environmental Sciences Consulting firm of
Ninyo and Moore has been contracted to perform a Pre-Demolition
Hazardous Building Materials Survey for all of the Pine School
buildings (including the maintenance yard) and three residential
properties on Madison Street. The report was recently completed.
The Survey Report is required in order to identify and properly
dispose of environmentally toxic materials associated with the
buildings before demolition can occur. Such materials include lead
base paints, fluorescent light ballasts, thermostat controls containing
mercury, asbestos tile, etc. . City maintenance crews have installed utility hook ups to the location
on site where the Centro De lnformacion and Stay-N-Play recreation
program will be temporarily housed in modular units. The City has
contracted with a modular manufacturer that will soon be installing
those units. Each of the modulars will be equipped with internal
restroom facilities.
City staff has been preparing bidding documents and a Public Works
Contract for the demolition and removal of the former residences
from three properties on Madison Street and all buildings on the Pine
School property, with the exception of the Carlsbad Village
Academy. The Academy has been authorized to operate under the
current lease at its existing location until December 31, 2002.

. The Park Planning Manager solicited and received proposals from
twelve firms to provide park-planning services for the Master Plan
process. After a considerable revi,ew process by our staff and
representatives of the Parks and Recreation Commission, we are
recommending the firm of Schmidt Design Group (“SDG”) out of San
Diego. The firm has significant background in terms of previous park
master planning and design experience both locally and throughout
California.
We anticipate going to City Council April 9th and requesting them to
approve the consultant agreement with “SDG” for park master plan
services for the Pine School site. As such, we will also be requesting
to begin the master planning process and hold public workshops
sometime in May and June.
When the date(s) for the public workshops are confirmed, notices will
be sent to you seeking your involvement and input to the park master
planning process. In addition, an extensive outreach program to
notify other interested parties will also be undertaken.
In the meantime, thank you for your patience with this matter and we
look forward to collaborating with you as part of the master planning
and development of this Northwest Quadrant Community Park.
Respectfully. I
