MTG. DATE: 6/21/04 PRC SUBCOMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION/ NAMING -
OF NORTHWEST QUADRANT COMMUNITY PARK ACTION
STAFF: BRADSTREET .
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
To consider the recommendation of the PRC subcommittee charged with the task of facilitating
the naming of the Northwest Quadrant Community Park.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
City Council Policy #48 establishes the guidelines and procedures for naming parks, facilities,
and amenities within parks and for renaming parks. The policy requires the Parks and Recreation
Commission to solicit public input to establish recommended park names.
The policy procedure reads:
When considering proposals, the Commission shall emphasize the following criteria in
making their recommendation to the City Council:
0 Geographic Location
0 Community significance
0 Historical significance
0 School name, when adjacent to a school
0 Individual person who shall have made a significant contribution to the City. ”
During the Northwest Quadrant Community Park master plan process, public workshop
attendees submitted potential names for the park. These names were compiled and a shortlist of
potential names was generated.
In May, a flyer ballot (see exhibit A) showing six potential names and a space for other suggested
names was disseminated to the Northwest Quadrant public with a May 31, 2004 submittal
deadline. Over 200 suggestions were received with 64 various names (see exhibit B). The top
three names are Fiesta Park (122), Carlsbad Village Park (46), and Pine Street (Avenue) Park
(26). After receipt and tally of the suggestions, the PRC subcommittee of Commissioners
Pacheco and Comstock met to discuss the ballots and came to the following conclusion:
Of the three top names, “Pine Street (Avenue) Park” meets the policy procedure criteria of
geographic location, community significance, historical significance, and school name, making it
the best choice for the park name. The name “Fiesta Park” has community significance, making it
a favorable alternative. The name “Carlsbad Village Park is too specific for a quadrant
communrty park and should not be considered.
Based upon this analysis, the name “Pine Avenue Park” is the recommended final name for the
Northwest Quadrant Community Park and the name “Fiesta Park” is a recommended alternative.
If the Commission concurs with this recommendation, it will be presented to the City Council for
their approval.

NAME OUR PARK
The City of Carlsbad Parks and Recreation Codssion is soliciting public input for the
naming of the Northwest Quadrant Community Park.
Also known as “Pine Street Park,” this park is being developed at the former site of Pine
Elementary School. The project design will soon be completed and ready for construction
before the end of this year.
As part of the park development process, the City has a policy for naming community
parks, in which citizens are given the opportunity to suggest names. Based upon input
from previous public meetings, a list of potential names has been created. The list has
been condensed into the names shown at the bottom of this document.
If you would like to participate in the naming of the park, please select and mark
one name from the list below or provide another name you would like for the
park. Then send the form to the Recreation Administration office, drop it in the
suggestion box at the Cole Library, or visit the City’s Recreation Department
website at www.ci.carlsbad.ca.us. Sorry, no suggestions will be received by phone.
