|x] ACTION
Approve the Parks and Recreation Commission recommendation for the design concept of the
Pine Avenue Park Madison Expansion and forward the recommendation to the City Council for
their approval.
BACKGROUND:
During 2001 and 2002, 4 public workshops were held to gather input for the Pine Avenue Park
Master Plan. In January 2003, the City Council approved the Master Plan and directed staff to
proceed with processing entitlements (Exhibit 1). On December 17, 2003, the Planning
Commission adopted a Negative Declaration and approved the project's Conditional Use Permit.
Following CUP approval, construction drawings were prepared. In October 2004, the City Council
approved plans and specifications and authorized bidding for construction. On February 2, 2005,
the City Council awarded the construction contract. Construction began in April, 2005 and is
anticipated to be complete in June, 2006.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
At the October 17, 2005 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, an option was presented
for the expansion of Pine Avenue Park into the Madison Street property. The option included the
addition of a bronco-sized baseball field, a plaza area, and parking. After public comment, the
Commission determined the issue needed further consideration before a decision could be
made. The Commission appointed a subcommittee to work with staff in organizing a workshop
where the public could provide additional input.
On January 9, 2006, the Pine Avenue Park Expansion Workshop was held. Attendees were
assigned a design exercise and given a questionnaire (Exhibit 2) with a list of amenities for their
prioritization. Following the workshop, the questionnaires were synthesized into a summary of
"Questionnaire Findings" (Exhibit 3).
On March 21, 2006, the PRC subcommittee reviewed the workshop results and then directed
staff to create a design concept for the expansion property showing passive park, open space,
and an ornamental garden, with the appropriate parking (Exhibit 4).
The design has been completed and the PRC subcommittee is now recommending it's approval
by the PRC's. If the PRC approves the design concept, it will be presented to the City Council for
their consideration. Following Council approval, the concept would be subject to the formal permit
process prior to review by the Planning Commission.
