DATE: 10/28/02 MASTER PLAN ACTION STAFF: BRADSTREET RECOMMENDED ACTION : Staff recommends that the Parks and Recreation Commission endorse the "Preferred Plan" outlined for the Northwest Quadrant Community Park Master Plan and recommend approval by the City Council. In addition, it is recommended to apply Proposition 40 and 12 park bond funds to assist in funding this project. ITEM EXPLANATION: In February of this year, the Schmidt Design Group (SDG) was hired to prepare a park master plan for the Northwest Quadrant Community Park. The goal was to create community consensus for the park design through a series of public workshops, supplemented by staff and consultant input. The information would be synthesized into a master plan, which would be the foundation for the development of the 7.7-acre property on Harding Street, formerly known as Pine Sch.ool. On May 28'h, 2002, the City held the first master plan workshop in the form of a Special City Council meeting with the Council participating in the role of a steering committee. At the meeting, City staff presented some preliminary issues to Council for clarification, which was followed by an opportunity for public testimony. Council then providedstaff with guidance for the park emphasis and design parameters. The issues and decisions were: Should an aquatic facility be included within this park site? No. Should the Park Master Plan incorporate the recent/y acquired Madison Street properties within its boundaries? Yes, but with sensitivity to surrounding neighbors. Should the Park Master Plan consider incorporating the Chase Field property? Yes, but there must be a definition of how it would fit in and any new development should maintain a sensitivity to its previous use as a ball field complex. What form should the community facility fake (Eg. Community CentedGym, Cultural Orientation, Auditorium)? It should be similar to the community centers and gymnasiums at other Carlsbad community parks. Should the Centro De lnformacion be included as part of the park site? No, but a permanent location should be established in the area. In addition to providing typical recreational amenities and program opportunities, should the park site include cultural anaYor social services components? Yes, similar to those found in other Carlsbad communlty parks. AB## Page 2 On June 1 8th, 2002, a second park development workshop was held at the Carlsbad Senior Center. Staff summarized the results of the first workshop and then introduced SDG, who led the community attendees in a design exercise. The exercise resulted in the formation of eight groups of people that were tasked with designing a Northwest Quadrant Park within a specific set of parameters developed at the onset of the exercise. Consequently, eight concepts for the park were generated by the workshop attendees and presented for clarification by a representative of each group. On August 28‘h, 2002, the third public workshop was also held at the Senior Center. SDG presented and displayed three conceptual design alternatives. Each alternative was developed as a direct result of compiling the information collected from the eight designs produced at workshop number two. Alternatives for the community building design and the art element were also presented and displayed.‘The public attendees then completed questionnaires providing commentary for the three alternatives, the architecture, and the art element. /“ The fourth and final public workshop, a “kid’s workshop” was held with a recreation department day camp. This was to gain park design insight from the children in the community, something that was noticeably absent from the three previous public workshops. There were some consistent thoughts apparent in the designs produced at the Kid’s Workshop. Most of the children’s designs included a skate park and all indicated a multi-use turf area and some version of a playground. - In addition to these workshops, a number of presentations and discussions occurred with the Carlsbad Senior Commission, Carlsbad Unified School District, Carlsbad Youth Baseball, Youth Enrichment Services, Recreation Area Managers and recreation staff. These presentations and discussions were conducted to achieve additional input from all of the park stakeholders. One of the presentations took place at a Senior Commission meeting to inform the seniors of the intentions for the proposed park and communtty building. Due to the complexity of this project, staff conducted a number of studies to adequately develop the park program. These studies include the following; and are attached as exhibits. Analysis of parking demand (Exhibit 4) Inventory of relative existing parks and facilities (Exhibit 5) Analysis of field use and layout (Exhibit 6) Analysis of future Senior Center and community building space requirements (Exhibit 7) The final Northwest Quadrant Community Park Master Plan is a product and result of the many public workshops, stakeholder input, and project studies. This product contains two refined design concepts termed the “Preferred Plan” and the “Alternate Plan”. Preferred Plan (Exhibit 1) The Preferred Plan is the recommended solution for the park design that will best serve the majority of needs for the community from the perspective of staff and the park design consultants. While complying with the many constraints of the project, it is staffs and the consultant‘s park uses and most closely meets the construction budget requirements. .- recommendation to implement this most inclusive design. This Preferred Plan offers a variety of c 1.. 9 AB# Page 3 -- Alternate Plan (Exhibit IA) The Alternate Plan shows a second design option for the park, including many ideas mentioned by the citizens at the workshops. However, several of the ideas are costly and when grouped together in one plan, would cause the park to significantly exceed the budgetary parameters. The design ideas are; a larger community building, a parking structure, the closure of Chestnut Avenue to increase open space area, and a snack bar renovation. Staff does not recommend this plan due to; the budgetary constraints, issues related to the closing of Chestnut Avenue, and the overall determination that this plan would over-develop this small site. Synthetic Turf The City has made a commitment to install synthetic turf at Poinsettia Park and the proposed Aviara Community Park. Staff is also pursuing the potential of installing synthetic turf to several fields at Stagecoach Park. Studies have indicated that because of the intensive use by athletic organizations and because of associated maintenance costs, it is best to install this material for soccer fields. Additional benefits relate to water conservation and the environmental benefits of eliminating fertilizer and pesticide use. For these reasons, staff is also recommending the use of synthetic turf for the multi-use field at this park. FISCAL IMPACT Funding for construction of the park is defined in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget. The current FY 2001-02 CIP Budget authorizes $5.3 million in Public Facilities Fees. Although the - actual cost to develop the park will be subject to the bidding process, preliminary estimates (Exhibits 2 and 3) indicate that additional funding to develop the preferred alternative will be required. When staff initially prepared the cost estimates outlined in the CIP Budget, the development costs did not consider the installation of synthetic turf for the multi-use field. Consequently, development estimates have risen significantly as experience has shown the cost of an adult size soccer field with synthetic turf to be about $1,000,000. As a means of funding any additional construction costs over the amount authorized in the CIP Budget, staff is recommending applying grant funding available through Proposition 40 and 12. Both of these Propositions, approved by the California voters, were Park Bond Acts and will provide guaranteed funding for qualifying park and recreation projects. This Northwest Quadrant Park will, without question, be considered a qualifying project. Currently, available grant funding to the City of Carlsbad under Proposition 40 is $982,754 with a required matching City contribution of $71,626. Although not yet encumbered in the FY 2002-03 State Budget, available grant funding to the City of Carlsbad under Proposition 12 is anticipated to be $634,000 with a required matching Ctty contribution of $71,400. These funds are expected to be available in FY 2003-04 budget process. AB# - Page4 Collectively, available grant funding is estimated to be $1,600,000 and staff is recommending that the Parks and Recreation Commission endorse the application of these funds for this project. Assuming approval by City Council before the end of the year, this project will transition into the entitlement phase in January 2003. The project is anticipated to be complete in 2005. EXHIBITS: 1.

TO: SENIOR PLANNER, GRIM From: Park Planner, Bradstreet PARK PARKING ANALYSIS Summary There is currently no actual City standard for parking requirements as they relate to parks. The Park Development Team has considered using the standard that was used during the design of Poinsettia Park for the design of the Northwest Quadrant Community Park. To verify the accuracy of the ’‘Poinsettia Standard, the team has performed an analysis, comparing it to the actual parking demand at existing Carlsbad community parks. We have found that the Poinsettia Standard for parking exceeds actual parking demand. We now want to create a new design standard for the Northwest Quadrant Community Park that would be less than the Poinsettia Standard. This would ensure that under-utilized parking would not consume valuable park land. Through our study, we have found that the Carlsbad community parks developed prior to the Poinsettia Standard do not conform to the standard, yet they are able to meet the parking demands. For example, the quantity of 165 parking stalls at Calavera Hills Park is only 65% of the Poinsettia Standard of 252, but is sufficient. In addition, the parking stall quantity of 239 at Stagecoach Park is only 87% of the Poinsettia Standard of 276, but is more than adequate. Based upon our analysis, a parking standard 15% below the Poinsettia Standard would meet the demand. Therefore, we are recommendinq that the standard we use to desiqn the Northwest Quadrant Communitv Park be 15% less than the Poinsettia Standard. ,/- 1 Background Prior to the development of Poinsettia Park (previously called Alta Mira Park), there were no City standards for parking requirements as they relate to parks. In the mid go’s, as the Master Plan for Alta Mira Park was being created, the Recreation Department worked together with the Planning Department to develop a standard, which is now unofficiafly termed “the Poinsettia Standard” (See Exhibit ‘A’). This standard included a detailed analysis of parking needs per recreation use (e.g. ball fields, tennis courts, community centers, etc.). The analysis was documented and used in conjunction with the Master Planning of Poinsettia Park. These standards were also recently used to calculate the parking requirements for Aviara Community Park (See Exhibit ‘B’). ~ ” (L EXHIBIT 4 I- ,) I ,- The Park Development Team is now considering using the Poinsettia Standard for the Northwest Quadrant Community Park Master Plan. The design of this new park is highly dependent upon the amount parking, so the accuracy of the Poinsettia Standard is crucial to the future of it’s success. If the design does not afford a sufficient amount of on-site parking, it would create an excess of street parking, which would directly impact the surrounding neighborhood. Because the size of the park property is limited (about 7 acres, compared to about 30 acres for a typical community park), an excess of on-site parking would impact the park by restricting the amount of recreation amenities. It is for these reasons that there is an immediate need to verify the accuracy of the Poinsettia Standard through further analysis. Since Carlsbad has two existing community parks that have been in operation for over ten years, there is an opportunity to verify the accuracy of the Poinsettia Standard, by analyzing the relationship between amenities and parking. The result of the analysis will provide the proper parking requirements nd only for the Northwest Quadrant Community Park, but possibly for other future parks. Analysis To verify the accuracy of the Poinsettia Standard, the first task was to inventory the existing amenities and parking of relative community parks and neighboring city facilities. This was done by reviewing existing as-built plans and by performing field verifications. The quantity of each park amenity and ‘parking stall was documented. This information was then summarized and entered into a spreadsheet (See Exhibit IC’). The next task was to verify whether the quantity of parking at the City parks and facilities (especially Calavera Hills and Stagecoach parks) is sufficient, based upon actual reality. Carlsbad staff members Gail Lynn and Kevin Granse were contacted to discuss the parking lot use for Calavera and Stagecoach. For Calavera Hills, the 165-stall parking lot is adequate for normal use, but does reach maximum capacity frequently. Though the lot is usually well used, the current scheduling allows for the parking to flow in and out without an impact. At Stagecoach, the parking is always sufficient and, under normal use, there is always at least 30 stalls available. For both of these parks, special events,cause a need for overflow parking; Jazz in the Park, Tournaments, and Opening Day Ceremonies require on-street parking. If it is true that the parking at these parks is sufficient under normal conditions, we can conclude that the relationship between the number of amenities and the number of parking stalls is correct, and we can use it to verify the accuracy of the Poinsettia Standard. This was achieved by calculating a % compliance with the Poinsettia- Standard for each park and facility based upon the Poinsettia Standard being a baseline of 100%. By dividing each park and facility’s existing quantity of parking stalls by the number of stalls recommended by the Poinsettia I Standard, we have created the YO compliance. If a % compliance is over loo%, 1 the park or facility has even more stalls than the Poinsettia Standard recommends. If a park or facility has a % compliance below the Poinsettia Standard (under 100Yo), this indicates that it operates sufficiently (as confirm.ed by recreation staff) with a lower number of stalls than the standard recommends. If the parks are able to operate Sufficiently with fewer stalls than the standard, then the standard may be higher than necessary and should even be decreased. Reviewing the o/o compliance for each existing park and facility, we have found that this is the case and that the Poinsettia Standard is at least 15% higher than necessary. Since Calavera Park and Stagecoach Park provide the most relative data, the % compliance for each was used to arrive at the excess standard. It is possible to decrease the standard by 15% and still have both of these parks comply (see Exhibit ID’). Therefore, we are recommendinq that the standard we use to desicln the Northwest Quadrant Community Park be 15% less than the Poinsettia Standard. Explanation of Exhibits Exhibit ‘A” This is the original document used for the development of Alta Mira Park and which we are referring to as the “Poinsettia Standard”. - Exhibit “B” I This is the standard that was produced for Aviara Community Park (formerly I Zone 19 Park), based upon the Poinsettia Standard. Exhibit ‘IC” This chart compares the Poinsettia. Standard to the parking demand at existing Carlsbad parks and facilities. The column to the left titled “Poinsettia Stall Std’ provides the standard number of stalls required per one amenity based upon Exhibit ‘A’. For each park and facility, two columns exist; one for the quantity of amenities in the park, the second column for the required number of stalls by multiplying the Poinsettia Standard by the quantity. The bottom row titled “Total Stalls to Meet Std” indicates the total number of stalls that each park should have based upon the Poinsettia Standard. On the lower portion of Exhibit ‘C’, the “Actual Parking” for each park is provided. By comparing the “Total Stalls to Meet Std” with ”Total Actual Stalls”, one can see the discrepancy between the two. By dividing the “Total Actual Stalls” by the “Total Stalls to Meet Std”, there is a ‘I% Compliance w/ Standard”, which shows a percentage of how close the actual demand is to the Poinsettia Standard. P- c37 e Exhibit “D” I This Exhibit illustrates that a standard that is 15% less than the Poinsettia Standard, will still meet the parking demand. The exhibit is the same as Exhibit “C, except that in the column to the left, tiled “Revised Stall Std”, the numbers have been reduced by 15%. This, when multiplied by each park’s quantity, yields a lower number of stalls and thus a lower “Revised Total Stalls to Meet Std. The “Revised % Compliance w/ Standard” becomes a higher percentage’, because the standard has been decreased. Calavera Hills Park, for example, would have a 76% compliance with the revised standard, while Stagecoach park would be 100% compliant. I .. If the parking at Stagecoach Park and Calavera Park is 15% less than the Poinsettia Standard, but is sufficient to meet the demand as confirmed by recreation staff, then we can conclude that a similar parking standard for the Northwest Quadrant Community Park would be adequate. The Northwest Quadrant Community Park should be designed with a parking standard 15% less than the Poinsettia Standard. L , .' _. J x .: .. I . !

As you are aware, the park design is somewhat constrained by the size of the site, so we are attempting to get an accurate count of the required parking to determine the available space for amenities. There are three issues that could affect the amount of parking. 1) Chase Field Some of the ideas that have come forward suggest modifying Chase Field by expanding the play fields or by relocating the snackbarhestroom facility. If this was to be done, would additional parking then become required to meet current parking standards or would it be possible to “grand-father” the site? - 2) Senior Center Parking Sue Spickard provided us with a count of parking that occurs on a daily basis at the count. The count indicates a period of high use at 12:30 p.m., but low use for the rest of the day. Considering that the existing 134-stall parking lot is rarely fully utilized, how many stalls can be credited toward the park’s development? You will notice that the count includes weekdays only. We are in the process of conducting weekend counts also, which we will send to you later. 3) Parking Requirements During the master planning process for Poinsettia and Aviara Community Parks, the Planning Department worked with the Recreation Department, Park Development Division to create a standard for parking requirements (see Exhibit ‘G’). As a beginning point, we plan to use the same standards to calculate the number of stalls required at the Northwest Quadrant Community Park. For further analysis, we are doing a study of parking volumes for Calaveras Hills and Stagecoach parks to determine if the existing parking at each is adequate. This should provide a better understanding of the parking requirements for the Northwest Quadrant Community Park. ? Senior Center (see Exhibit ‘A’).

The recreation leaders described the activities presently occurring at the Senior Center, the Harding Center and Holiday Park and made recommendations for the future facility to be built at the Northwest Quadrant Community Park. The individuals in attendance were: Lori Swenck, Recreation Area Manager Gail Lynn, Recreation Area Manager Gian Lauro, Recreation Area Manager Mark Steyaert, Park Development Manager Scott Bradstreet, Park Planner The following is a summary of the items discussed during the meeting. Uses at Existing Facilities Senior Center CUSD currently occupies about 15,000 sf. of office space, which the seniors would like to use in the future. Since the Senior Center is currently about the same size (15,400 sf.), which includes the auditorium and dining room, the entire 15,000 sf. of additional space would be more than enough for the seniors. The senior auditorium is currently under utilized. Although the seniors might not desire, it could be used in the evenings for more city recreation functions. In addition, the seniors essentially vacate the property at about 4:30, so any recreation functions after that time would not conflict with senior activities. Hardina Center The auditorium (250 people) is used for theater, aerobics, yoga, karate, preschool, and Carlsbad Academy events. The recreation hall (100 people) is used for large meetings and classes. Both rooms are highly used for rentals, space, which could mostly be housed independent of the Harding Center. ,- grossing $65K in rentals last year. Recreation staff offices occupy 2,890 sf. of EXHIBIT 7 G58 Holidav Park There are three small buildings at Holiday Park; Holiday House (570 sf.), the Scout House (1,750 s.f.) and Krueger House (1,135 sf.). Holiday House has recreation staff offices that will probably be relocated to the Farmer’s building in two years. The Scout House is primarily a large room (50 people) that is used for toddler day care (ages 1-3) during the day and is used for scout (boy, girl, cub, etc.) activities in the evening and at night. Krueger House is a preschool (ages 4- 6) with two classrooms. Housina and Redevelopment If there is an opportunity to move the Housing and Redevelopment department into Harding or the Senior Center (CUSD area), we should explore that option. Future Uses Northwest Quadrant CommuniW Park The recreation leader’s main recommendation was to have the gymnasium be a multi-purpose gym that could accommodate not only basketball, but indoor soccer, hockey, boxing, or other popular local sports also. They mentioned that basketball and volleyball were not popular sports in the local community. They thought that it is important to include a youth “drop-in” center for teens. This would be in an area separated from other activities like dancing, band, and clubs; possibly in another building or separate room. It was even mentioned that this could occur at the Harding Center. The following list is what they feel would be best if cultural and passive activities occurred elsewhere (Alternate ‘C’ per Mark‘s memo). Gymnasium/Arena for indoor soccer & hockey Activity room (1 00 people) 2 Multi-purpose rooms (30 people each) Reception/lobby area Off ices for this facility’s staff only Storage Computer room Youth “droD-in” center Some of these elements could be incorporated into a portion of the Senior Center (the area currently occupied by CUSD) or the Harding Center. Other comments were that the park’s totlot should be situated next to one of the multipurpose rooms for the preschool class. Senior Center There was a discussion to use the upstairs CUSD area only for the Dark community center use and to allow seniors to use downstairs. The upstairs might be accessed via a second story on the new community center building. Hardina Center It will likely be recommended that the Harding Center be razed and rebuilt. If In the future,-the Harding Center will continue to require a 250-people auditorium to house the cultural activities and classes, similar to what presently occurs. There will still be a need for a 100-person recreation hall. Both of the large rooms would require kitchens, unless a new kitchen could be designed between the rooms that would accommodate each of them. The staff offices will be sent to either the Senior Center or the Farmer’s building. We will need SDG to provide a proposal to analyze the Harding Center property, which could possibly include an entire new facility with possible underground parking. Holiday Park There was some discussion regarding the future of the Holiday Park buildings. If recreation staff are relocated to another facility from Holiday House, the building could be used by youth sports groups. Recreation staff would like to add one more classroom to the Krueger House building.

They outline how we see the options being layed out. I discussed this briefly with Glen today, but since he is out until Monday, I wanted to get them to you ASAP: To summarize, our options have the following general characteristics: 0 OPTION #I (which generally follows what I called Alternative A in my email (7/2/02)) o Larger com. ctr. (+I- 18,000 s.9 o Not necessary to relate to existing Sen. Ctr. o Parking structure o Close Chestnut o Locate Chase Field restroom/snack bar in abandoned Chestnut o No budget constraints a - f’ “4 ULJ Transmittal, SMG pg. 2 - OPTION #2 (which generally follows what I called Alternative B in my email (712102)) I?<..

OPTION #3 (which generally follows what I called Alternative C in my email (7/2/02)) o Scaled back com. ctr. to basically a gym with minimal supporting rooms. o On grade parking. o Chestnut 2 way with diagonal parking one side or? o Com. Ctr. elements from Option #hot included in this option would be fit into the abandoned CUSD area of the Senior center. o This Option should assume that a direct connection to the CUSD area of the Senior Ctr. will be made with the park project. Possibly, a connection from the CUSD upstairs, to the new com. ctr. o This Option should be within budget. F her all the talk of “Options” and “Alternatives”, these names should be only for our reference. For ’: ”9 how, I would like the options exhibits for the Work Shop to be unnamed. This is in case we decide at the last minute, not to show one of the options. We can always add option numbers to them the night of the workshop should we need to refer to them more clearly. Chris, please call me on Friday if you have any questions. Thanks, Mark C: Manuel Oncina Pine Goal Team Recreation Director Recreation Services Manager I I- Q, -* . 'I I I I" s u -" I " 1- I Northwest Quadrant Community Park a - Marlaine Hubbard 10/28/02 Summary: 7.7 acre park, constrained by existing community therefore 20-30% of normal size Excellent public input through 4 workshops 5/28-City Council Steering Comm/public 6/ 18-Senior Center workshop/design exercise/8 presentations 8/28-3 presentations by design group ftom input of last meeting Kids WorkshopSOY~ wanted skate park and all wanted multi-use turf area/some version of playground. Evolution resulted in reduced outside space due to parking requirements and sensitivity to neighbors. However this area West of El Camino Real and North of Tamarack does contain 10 park areas totaling nearly 50 acres and including a pool. It is the highest density of parks to geographic size area in Carlsbad. It also has over 100% more indoor building space than any other quadrant in the city. Additionally the timing of this park makes it able to take advantage of grant funding of nearly $1,000,000 with a possibility of another $600,000. These dollars could be earmarked for other facilities. ,- Lastly this project presents an outstanding opportunity for intergenerational usage with linkage to Chase Field and Holiday Park. Before we begin discussing the preferred versus the alternative plan there are two issues that could impact this outcome qreatlv.. - . . . . . . First: OUTSIDE SPACE VS. INSIDE SPACE Note the ratio of this in the three newest regional parks Calavera 21 Acres/ 17,000 square feet Poinsettia 42 Acres/ 17,000 square feet Stagecoach 28 Acres/ 17,000 square feet NW Quadrant 8 Acres/ 19,492 square feet So here we have a park that is only 20-30% as large as the other regional parks and yet has a larger community building? Additionally there exists the Senior Center adjoining this park, which has about 30,000 square feet, 15,000 that may be available soon. Interestingly what we heard from participants at all 4 workshops was about outside space. Most of the input for the community building was from the staff at 5e Harding Center. Doesn’t it make sense to size back the community building or connect it to the upstairs of the Senior Center? Give back the space to the kids outside. rc e Second: PARKING REQUIREIVIENTS Since there currently is not an actual City Standard for parking as they relate to parks, and your research and analysis on page 34/35 support at a minimum a 15% reduction from the Poinsettia Standard, I suggest the commission encourage staff to ask for a 20% reduction (-10 spaces) because of the synergistic opportunity with the existing Senior Center parking. The weekday study (exhibit A) shows that after 4:3Opm there are over 107 spaces available on average in the Senior Center parking lot. The weekend study revealed even more available. I understand there was a credit of 50 spaces factored in the total required parking determined at 261 spaces (page 49). Perhaps this could be increased to 80 (-30 spaces). This eliminates about 40 parking spaces, which would result in a new total of 22 lspaces. The preferred alternative has 273 spaces. Certainly redesigning the parking with 52 less spaces would open up valuable space for outside recreation usage. The neighborhood kids, many who live in apartments, need outside space other than a parking lot to call their ," own. Recap of concerns from audience and suggested mitigations: 1. Buffer between Seniors and skate park / consider design used in 2. More arts and education /expand the covered picnic area to multiuse alternate plan. as a stage. Reverse earth berms to face the stage and graduate up for elevation interest and noise abatement. 3. Consider traffic calming measures on Harding between Pine and Oak. 4. Be sensitive to neighborhood appropriate space and activities aside 5. The flower art needs some written description explaining the cultural from organized scheduling. history behind the designs, i.e. stone set in the ground with text. Lastly, at a low cost with great visual impact, consider connecting Holiday Park by lining Chestnut Avenue with Jacaranda trees and special inlaid crosswalks that tie together with the new NW Quadrant Park. Especially beautiful is the African Tulip tree in place of the crepe myrtle, which is prone to mildew, and breakage from kids. The purple and red blossoms some competitive bids for the trees; they appear 20-40% higher than customary. --vould create a signature street for all visitors to remember. I suggest you get
