UNFINISHED BUSINESS: (continued)
Mike Holzmiller explained the Citizens Committee for Land
Use Review made several recommendations in terms of parks;
one, from a land use standpoint, they supported the
concept of community parks. They asked for an increase of
the park dedication requirements from two and one half
acres per 1,000 residents to three acres per 1,000
residents, which Is the maximum State Law allows. They
required upfront planning for community parks, as a
requirement of the master plan. That has been implemented
and is part of the Ordinance. The Committee also required
pocket neighborhood parks as part of private development,
emphasizing active use. There was to be 15% open space in
each local facility zone, and 200 square feet of
recreational area per unit. Previously that could be
either passive or active recreation, but now it has to be
both. The change was made from 150 square feet per unit
to 200 square feet per unit, with a portion of this
required area to be active recreation area.
Mr. Holzmiller continued, stating as part of the Growth
Management Plan they require 15% open space in every one
of the 25 zones in the city. Also, that open space cannot
be constrained land and cannot count toward parks. Mr.
Hoizmiller stated the Growth Management Plan is a way to
Insure, as development or growth occurs in the City, the
City will always be providing an adequate level of public
facilities and services. Eleven facilities were addressed
In the Growth Management Plan, with parks being one of
those.
There are two major elements. One is the performance
standards, which means the adequacy standards must be
complied with at all times. The second element is the
fact the City was divided into 25 planning zones.
Mr. Holzmiller stated Proposition E tied the Growth
Management Plan and growth density to a cap of a little
over 52,000 dwelling units in the City, or a population of
135,000.
The park standard part of the Growth Management Plan Is
different from the other adopted standards. The City can
accept the dedication of land or fees for three acres of
park area per 1,000 persons for a neighborhood community
park purposes. The second standard is in the Parks and
Recreation Element adopted in 1982, which says that five
and one half acres per 1,000 population will be dedicated.
This would be for community parks 2.5 acres, special use
areas .5 acres and special resource areas 2.5 acres per
1,000 residents. The park element now says five acres,
but when the Citizens Committee recommended community
parks it changed the Parks and Recreation Element. The
wording has not been changed in the Element, but will be
done this year.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: (continued)
Dave Bradstreet explained when the Element was revised, an
assessment of land In Carlsbad was taken. It was found
there was enough land for special resource areas. The
consultant said that a standard throughout the nation is
five acres. Carlsbad far exceeded the standard in special
resource areas and did not need any more land in that
category. The Citizens Committee said raise the
requirement up to the maximum, which would really be five
and one half acres. The Element will be changed to
indicate that, but Carlsbad already has the special
resource areas.
The park requirement has to be scheduled for construction
completion within a five-year period. As the development
proceeds, the park must be in the City's CIP Program. As
the population increases, there must be park construction
no later than five years. The standard is applied on the
park district basis. Mr. Holzmiller stated the Parks and
Recreation Commission has recommended using an overlay of
the park districts on the city wide map to apply the
standards by park districts, rather than the 25 zones.
This would determine whether the plan was acceptable for
the entire park quadrant.
Phil Carter continued the report, using transparencies to
explain the different exhibits contained in the packet.
He stated the city wide facilities plan is the first
phase, with next the Local Facilities Management Plan.
The Local Facilities Management Plan guarantees the future
sites, not only in their district, but for the entire
quadrant. The Parks and Recreation Commission and Parks
and Recreation Department will design ail future
facilities. The local plans will show how the buildout
will be spaced over each year In the zone and in the
quadrant.
The Commission will be able to determine whether it will
be all community park, special use or a combination.
Staff and Commission combined with community input will
determine how to design the park facilities. The zone
plans will include the impact on parks and recreation,
must show existing and future park sites, identify funding
sources and assure conformance to the standards as growth
occurs.
Dave Bradstreet stated staff will see the developers
provide enough land to meet the needs of each quadrant.
In answer to query regarding the time frame for the
developers to get the park plan ready, Phil Carter stated
developers must present the full facilities plan, that
goes through a review process, all department review, and
that takes approximately 30 days. The comments come back
and go before the Planning Commission and City Council for
public hearing and adoption. If everything is perfect, it
will take approximately 90 days. If a project is approved
in 90 days, as they built dwelling units, they have a lag
of five years for the park. The Commissioners asked why
there is a lag time of five years. Mike Holzmiller stated
that is the normal planning and construction time it takes
for public facilities. The City plans on a five year CIP
Program. Council has to make the decision, there has to
be funding, and the plan has to be in place to build the
park in no more than five years.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS: (continued)
Mike Holzmilier stated the City will not allow any more
development to occur in the City until the park plan is in
place and on a five-year program of building. The comment
was made from the Commission they would like the park
development along with the project before the first unit
is occupied. Mike Holzmilier answered it takes three to
five years before there are any houses built in a normal
development. When the new units are ready for occupancy,
there will be a park site.
Dave Bradstreet explained the developer provides the land
and the development comes through the PFF Fund. That
money comes to the City thru developer fees.
Commissioner Popovich commented there was very little
change between now and what was done in the past. The
developers had to give the City money or land. Mr.
Carter stated it is the same procedure, but the standard
has been added that the park must be developed within five
years, and five years is not a long time. It would not be
feasible to have a fully developed park at the beginning
of a development, as there would be no people to use the
park. When you have 500 units built, then it would be
feasible to have a park.
In answer to Commission query, Mike Holzmilier stated it
has to be definitely stated how the open space of 15
percent would be accomplished.
Mike Holzmilier stated, from the beginning, they have said
that certain facilities in the service standards would
have to he provided within five years. The program was
presented stating facilities would be provided concurrent
with development, but at no time was it stated that those
would be before development. It normally takes about five
years from the beginning of the plan submittal before any
people live in a new development.
Commissioner Lawson stated as the growth takes place,
those facilities might exceed the standards for the
remainder of the area's growth for a number of years.
Then they would be above the standards and the park
dedication would catch up with that standard.
Mike Holzmilier stated it was certainly not proper to
build such things as libraries and parks in small
increments, but they must be built at a certain time.
Vice-Chairperson Donovan stated she was thinking
differently from what Mr. Holzmilier explained. She
wondered Inasmuch as the Commissioners were thinking that
way, if the citizens at large were also thinking that the
parks would be built concurrent with the development.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT;
Dave Bradstreet reported the La Costa Canyon Park slides
had burned some children while sliding down the bed
portion of the slide. The City was sued and the beds of
the slides have now been replaced with a new type bed
which will not get hot during the warm weather. The suit
against the City was dropped because of this action.
Dave Bradstreet further reported Stagecoach Park is
approximately 80% completed, with the building 90%
completed. He stated the Commission should be getting
ready for the park dedication. Mr. Bradstreet suggested
the date of May 30th be selected as the dedication date
for the park. This would be a Saturday and time would be
from 10:00 a.m. to *f:00 p.m. There would be classes
giving demonstrations, and an all-day celebration. There
would be ceremonies between the hours of 2:00 and 2:30
p.m. In the gym, and a ribbon cutting opening the doors to
the center. From 2:30 to *:00 p.m., there would be tours
and refreshments.
Mr. Bradstreet reported the Calavera Hills Park bids are
In, and there were six bids. The low bid was
approximately $180,000 under the revised estimate.
Mr. Bradstreet stated there is a citizens' group that has
asked for additional restrooms at Holiday Park and an
additional horseshoe pit. The cost would be about $15,000
to $28,000. The citizens' group would put the facilities
in themselves. Staff is analyzing these requests.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
1. That City Council introduce Ordinance No.
2. Upon adoption of the proposed Ordinance, adopt Resolution No.
realigning the City's park districts to agree with the boundaries
set by Ordinance 9824, the Growth Management Plan.
3. Upon adoption of the proposed Ordinance, adopt Resolution No. ,
appropriating funds for the appraisal of park property.
ITEM EXPLANATION;
To accurately reflect the current standard applied in the formula for
determining park acreage to be dedicated under Section 20.44.040 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code, the phrase "two and one half acres" in Section
20.44.030 should be replaced with the phrase "three acres". Additionally,
to prevent this issue appearing before Council at a future date, the phrase
"based on 1980 census" in Section 20.44.040 should be replaced with "the
most recent federal census".
The Carlsbad Municipal Code, Section 20.44.080, establishes the amount of
park-in-lieu fees to be collected from developers. The purpose of these
fees is to provide funds for the purchase and improvement of community
park property. It is, therefore, important to insure that the fees being
collected are adequate to provide sufficient funds for the purchase of
park property.
The present Municipal Code includes no procedure for how park-in-lieu fees
are to be established or how often fees should be revised.
Staff is recommending that Council consider adopting the proposed Ordinance
which established the annual revision of park-in-lieu fees based on the value
of benchmark parks in each of the City's four park districts. This method
will guarantee that park fees will be sufficient to purchase and develop
new or rehabilitate existing park and recreational facilities within each
of the park-in-lieu quadrants.
The process for revision of fees under the proposed Ordinance is as follows:
1. The City Council will establish one park in each quadrant to be
considered the benchmark park. This park represents the type of
land desired by the City for park purposes.
2. The staff will annually retain an MAI Appraiser to provide a
certified appraisal of the benchmark parks.
3. A per-acre cost of land for each park would be established using
the annual appraisal.
4. The Council will adopt this revised per acre cost as the basis for
computing park-in-lieu fees.
-2-
AGENDA BILL NO.
This annual revision of park-in-lieu fees will require the expenditure of
approximately $10,000 to $15,000 per year in appraisal fees to establish
the current market value of each benchmark park. This charge should be
divided evenly between the four park districts.
FISCAL IMPACT;
The annual revision of park-in-lieu fees will increase the level of fees
collected by the City dedicated to the acquisition of community park land.
At this time an estimate of the amount of the increase is not available
because new land values and levels of development subject to park-in-lieu
fees has not been determined. An annual cost of approximately $10,000 to
$15,000 per year will be experienced in appraisal fees related to this
program. This cost should be budgeted annually in the Park-in-Lieu Fund.
An appropriation of $12,500 is necessary to pay appraisal costs to establish
values for the benchmark park sites for 1987. This appropriation should be
made from park-in-lieu funds, one quarter from each district. Sufficient
funds are available for this appropriation.
EXHIBITS:
1. Memo from Finance Director - dated 11/2/86, Park-in-Lieu Fees
2. Ordinance No. .
3. Resolution No. , realigning the park district boundaries.
4. Resolution No. , appropriating funds for the appraisal of
park land.
NOVEMBER 3, 1986
TO: ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER - PATCHETT
FROM: Finance Director
PARK-IN-LIEU FEES
Recommendation
The City should establish a method of setting park-in-lieu fees based on
the appraised value of benchmark park land in each quadrant as described
below. This method provides a fair and equitable measure of land value
based on the purchase price of land suitable for park development.
Discussion
Park-in-Lieu fees must be revised annually to guarantee that revenues
will continue to provide sufficient funds to purchase park land. If the
City is to continue to maintain the park land-to-population ratio set
by Council, an equitable means of setting the new fee each year must be
established.
City staff has reviewed several alternatives for setting park-in-lieu
fees. These alternatives include:
1. Establishing an average fair market value for land city wide.
2. Establishing an average fair market value for land within each
quadrant.
3. Across-the-board percentage adjustments to present park-in-lieu
fee schedules using a variety of indexes as the basis for the
increase.
4. Appraisal of benchmark parks in each quadrant to establish fees.
The attached reports from Parks and Recreation and the Finance Department
discuss these alternatives in detail.
The alternatives described above have been evaluated for equity, ability
to maintain park-in-lieu fees at a level sufficient to provide funds for
park land acquisition and reasonableness.
Alternative 1—setting an average fair market price for land for all park
quadrants does not provide equity to the City or the developer paying
the fee. Some developers would be substantially overcharged while others
would be undercharged for park fees based on the actual cost to acquire
land in their quadrant. A City-wide average is also very difficult to
set due to the wide variance of parcel values.
-2-
Alternative 2 — setting an average fair market value for land within each
of the City's four park districts provides a more equitable measure of
the required .fee. However, the establishment of an average value for all
land within a quadrant has proven to be very difficult. A recent attempt
at setting these average values provided widely varying prices for land
without specifically addressing the cost of land that might be suitable
for park use. In particular, values of land in the northwest qaudrant
proved to be two to three times the value of land in other parts of town
due to the extremely high valuation of land in the downtown area.
Alternative 3 — setting park-in-lieu fees by using an inflation factor or
index, does not provide any defensible support for changes in the fee.
No index has been found that could be applied to the Carlsbad real estate
market to adjust land values. The Finance staff searched many different
sources for such an index without success."
Alternative 4 — setting the value for a "typical" park in each quadrant
has proven to be the most practical approach to setting park-in-lieu fees.
By identifying existing "benchmark" parks in each part of Carlsbad, the
City has set a standard for park land quality. In addition, the developer
in each quadrant will be paying fees designed to provide adequate park
land equal to that standard. Also, the appraisal of specific pieces of
park property can be done by any certified appraiser, while the development
of average land values in a quadrant cannot be accurately set by any means
available to the City. The necessary park-in-lieu fee can be found by
using the following formula based on 3.00 acres of land per 1000 population.
FBe "
where Av * Appraised value per acre of the benchmark

For example, assume the following situation exists:
- Appraised value of a benchmark park in a given area is 5125,000
- Development of 100 condominium units have been proposed for this area
- The Municipal Code Section 20.44.040 says condominiums have a density
of 2.0 people per unit

-3-
Staff recommends that the City adopt the following procedure in setting
park-in-lieu fees:
1. The Parks & Recreation Director shall establish one park owned
by the City in each park-in-lieu quadrant to be designated as
the benchmark park for that area.
The Parks Director has indicated that the following parks would
be selected as benchmark parks:
A. Northwest Quadrant - Chase Field
B. Northeast Quadrant - Calavera Hills Park
C. Southwest Quadrant - Sammis Park
D. Southeast Quadrant - Stagecoach Park
2. The Finance Director shall retain an MAI Certified Appraiser to
establish the fair market value per acre for each of the four
benchmark parks.
3. The Appraiser shall determine the value of land for each of the
City's benchmark parks.
4. The Finance Director shall submit revised land values to the City
Council for approval.
5. Park land values shall be revised annually on or before January 1,
each year.
If this method meets with your approval, we will draft the appropriate agenda
bill and amendment to the City Code.

COMMITTEE REPORT FACILITY STANDARD UPDATE
The Parks and Recreation Commission on December 15, 1986, directed
staff to re-examine the ballfield standards as they relate to the
Growth Management Plan.
Mike Holzmiller, the Planning Director, met with the Commission on
January 19, 1987 and explained that the Growth Management plan
dealt with the issues of land dedication and that the Parks and
Recreation Commission was responsible for administering the
facility standards.
The Park Site and Facility Planning Committee, Popovich, Lawson,
Bradstreet, Price and Courtney met on February 9, 1987 to discuss,
analyze and simplify the Facility Standard that were adopted on
November 17, 1986.
The following revised data is submitted for consideration at the
next Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting.

DATE: FEBRUARY 10, 1987
TO: MARTY ORENYAK, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
FROM: Planning Director
SUBJECT: GROWTH MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
EXPLANATION
The Growth Management Program identified 11 performance
standards. These eleven performance standards can be categorized
into three different classifications based on the timing in which
a facility is needed:
1. Prior to Development - These are essential
services, i.e. Sewer and Water.
2. Concurrent with Development - These are
public facilities which related to the
health, welfare, and safety of the community,
i.e. - Circulation, Drainage, Fire, Schools
3. To be planned and guaranteed in advance of
development and constructed at a specific
time as development occurs - These public
facilities are more "quality of life" items,
i.e. - City Administrative Facilities,
Library, and Parks.
Parks Performance Standard
Some specific questions have been raised as to why the Parks
performance standard falls into a category which requires a
constructed park within 5 years. The best way to explain this is
to provide two brief examples:
Example 1. - Calavera Hills
Development of this area began in 1980. There was no plan to
provide the necessary park acreage to serve the demand created by
this development. It is 1987 and the construction of Calavera
Hills is beginning.
If the Growth Management Program existed in 1980, there would
have been a specific plan to provide a constructed park to meet
the demand generated by the Calavera Hills development. By 1985
there would have been a constructed park.
Example 2. - The Southwest Quadrant of the City
Today there are approximately 3,000 residential units in this
quadrant of the City and there is no constructed park facility to
ATTACHMENT D
serve this demand. The first units were constructed in 1975 and
1976.
If the Growth Management Program existed in 1975, not one unit
would have been allowed to proceed without planning and
guaranteeing that a park would be constructed. With Growth
Management a developed park would have existed by 1980.
Currently, there is no guaranteed plan to provide park facilities
in this quadrant.
However, the first Local Facility Management Plan in the quadrant
will provide this guarantee or no development will be allowed to
proceed.
Parks Summary
The standard for Parks takes into account several factors which
requires a constructed park within 5 years.
1. There is a lag time before there is an actual need for a
developed and operational park. It takes three and a half
years under good circumstances before the first residential
unit will be occupied.
2. Parks are not built in small increments. They are
built to serve the long-term demands of the community.
3. It takes time to plan, budget, construct, and gear up
to staff an operational park.
In short, the standard ensures the needed park facilities to
serve the demand of development.
Additional Information
Attachment "A" provides the specific standard for each of these
public facilities. Attachment "B" shows how each of the separate
public facilities is evaluated to determine conformance with the
adopted performance standard.

BEECH STREET ACCESS
Enclosed please find a memo from the Risk Manager regarding the
liability concerns involved with the construction of a stairway
facility at Beech Street.
As per our discussion on February 3, 1987, the council has
already approved the construction of this facility contingent
upon grant funding from the Coastal Conservancy. Funding of
$26,000 has been approved by the Conservancy and has been tied
into a recent grant award for the seawall project.
As you will note from the Risk Manager's memo, a chain link
fence enclosure has been recommended. Funds for chain link were
not anticipated at the time cost estimates for the accessway
were made and therefore are not included in the grant award.
Depending upon the actual bids received, the cost for chain link
fencing could be absorbed through:
1. Project contingencies
2. Additional request to the Coastal Conservancy
3. Park-in-lieu fees.
Please contact me if you should have any questions regarding this
matter. Thank you once again for your cooperation with the
construction of this beach accessway.

ACCESSWAY AT BEECH & OCEAN
Our discussion of the potential acquisition of the accessway and an inspection
of the actual site revealed problems which should be relatively easy to resolve.
1. The sign at the entrance to the accessway gives the impression that it is
already owned by the City (by its mere presence) and would seem to imply
that the accessway is safe for use. It is recommended that the sign be
removed until the accessway renovation is completed.
2. The Coastal Conservancy wishes to transfer title to the accessway to Carlsbad.
It is recommended that (A) title not be taken until the renovation is completed,
or (B) that the accessway be closed at both ends if title is taken prior to
the initiation/completion of the renovation.
3. If the renovation project is undertaken, the stairway should be brought up to
current code standards; be enclosed by a chainlink fence; and be wide enough
to permit access to the beach area by emergency personnel and their equipment.
If you have any questions, or if I can be of any other assistance to you, please
free to contact me.
Thank you,

PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL - LARWIN COMMUNITY PARK
The City requests your proposal for a Feasibility Study to develop
a City owned park site of approximately 34 acres in the northeast
quadrant of Carlsbad. The study should provide the City with a
recommendation as to the best possible uses for the site given
existing site constraints and the current recreational needs of
the City. The consultant will work with Parks and Recreation
Staff to determine what concept is most "feasible" and "realistic."
The study should provide the City with the following product:
1. Master Plan
A. Existing conditions
B. Recommended amenities
C. Proposed grades (approximate)
D. Circulation links to adjacent properties
E. Any other information deemed pertinent.
2. Preliminary cost estimate (including grading quantities).
3. A written report describing:
A. Reasons for recommendations
B. Possible alternatives to recommendations (ie., less
intensive use, more intensive use).
The proposal should be in the form of a letter briefly describing
the terms capabilities, recent similar work, estimated time to
complete study, and estimated fee (lump sum and hourly fees of
all personnel-allow for meetings with Parks and Recreation Staff
to develop and review concepts as necessary and presentations at
two formal hearings). The City will provide base topographic maps.
Vvork is expected to commence around the start of the year.
The consultant will be chosen based on all the information provided
in the proposal. Any questions should be directed to Mark Steyaert,
Park Planner, at 438-5571. Proposals are due by 4:30 on Monday,
December 15, 1986 to the Parks and Recreation Department's main office
