UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
A. Scribe Report
There was no reply to the Scribe Report sent to
Council Members last month.
B. Board Sail Agenda Bill
Dave Bradstreet reported the attached Agenda Bill will
be reviewed by Council June 16, 1987. The Risk
Manager and staff are recommending lagoon use be kept
as it is at the present time, not having mixed use
during the peak months.
NEW BUSINESS;
A. Proposed 1988 Bond Act
Keith Beverly reported this bond act is In the
preliminary stages and Just starting to gain momentum.
B. Local Facility Zone Plan
Phil Carter, Planning Department, distributed material
to the Commissioners regarding the requirements for
the local facility plan for Zone 5. Staff felt a new
fee of 50 cents per square foot of industrial space
should be imposed for this zone, inasmuch as there is
a need for park facilities for the employees working
in that area.
The Commissioners questioned receiving this
information tonight, rather than previously, In order
to have time to study it. Some Commissioners were
upset over the procedure and requested staff to insure
this does not happen again. Other Commissioners
felt staff does a good job getting Information to the
Commissioners, and if this information was not
available soon enough to get to the Commissioners for
study, they were willing to read through the material
and give their comments within a week.
Dave Bradstreet stated staff would call the
Commissioners after a week and ask for their comments.
The comments are needed by July 1, 1987, to relay to
the Planning Commission.
Mr. Carter apologized to the Commission for bringing
this item to them without previous knowledge, but the
Zone Plan had to progress rapidly through staff to the
Commissions.
The Commission requested information be in their hands
at least 2* hours before a meeting, if they are to
discuss an item and ask questions in an intelligent
manner.

C. Recreational Use of Cadencla Park
Dave Bradstreet reported this acreage was dedicated to
the City as open space/recreational use, and was a
canyon area. The developer fiiled in the area with
decomposed granite and then put in top soil. In 1980
or 1981, the southern section of the City came to the
Commission requesting additional hallfields, and
Cadencia was one of the areas considered.
The Commission approved the use of Cadencia Park, and
some of the homeowners asked the park not be for active
play. The appeal of the residents was denied, but the
park was limited to a facility for children 12 years
and under. Again, the residents complained about the
noise, etc., and both sides met together. An agreement
was made to schedule Cadencia for practice only and not
scheduled games.
The key was Fuerte Park, and when it was built,
Cadencia would not be needed for active use.
In December of 1984, the City was to stop scheduling
Cadencia Park for league use. User groups then
started scheduling girls' T-ball games on that field
and the phone calls from neighbors resumed.
Staff felt the development was legal, and there was an
agreement with the users, Commission, City Council and
homeowners. It was felt the agreement had been
breached. If the user groups felt they needed to use
that Park, the matter should have been brought before
this Commission.
Dave Bradstreet stated he had the backstops taken
down, as the park is for passive use and practice
only.
Richard Martin, President, La Costa Youth
Organization, told of the need for fields and and
waiting list for children wanting to play on teams.
He explained the girls 5 to 8 years old play on
Cadencia and can hardly hit out of the infield. He
asked the Commission to consider there are not
adequate facilities available for the children, and to
allow the use of Cadencia Park until other facilities
are available.
Glrard Anear, 1728 Calavo Court, stated the area where
Cadencia Park is now, was just a dumping ground and a
fire hazard. He stated he was one of the proponents
for making this into a park. The children need a safe
place to play and he stated his concern with the
removal of the backstops and the stoppage of active
play. There is no traffic problem in that area and
the park has very small exposure to the houses. Mr.
Anear urged the Commission to make Cadencia an active
park and keep it that way. He felt the maintenance
costs were too high to maintain this as a green spot.

Oune 15, 1987 COMMISSIONERS
John Speer, 201 Cima Court, Carlsbad Athletic
Association, spoke about the programs for CARA and
stated he would like to see the continued use of
this field. He stated there are never enough
ballfields in Carlsbad, and recommended the
continued use of Cadencia Park and develop other
areas as quickly as possible.
3ohn Mitchell, La Costa resident, spoke in favor
of the use of Cadencia Park, stating in the East,
they never give in to the neighbors when it comes
to providing parks, and he could not understand
curtailing the use of this park because of
complaints.
3an Husenta, 2132 - 14th Street, Encinitas, spoke
as a parent, and stated this field is needed for
the small children, who pose no threat to the
neighbors. She stated it was unfair to allow a
small group to dictate the use of this area.
Andy Anderson, 7251 Carpa Court, stated there are
40 homeowners in the vicinity of Cadencia Park,
and did not feel they were a handful of people
who didn't like children trying to dictate policy.
Mr. Anderson stated they are parents and
grandparents, but felt this area was to be open
space and/or recreational use, and playing fields
were to be excluded. Mr. Anderson stated there
is a safety problem with using this field, as
parents park cars on both sides of a major street.
The noise level is another problem with the use
of that field for league play. The noise is not
from the eight-year olds, but from the parents.
The surrounding residents cannot use their
backyards or patios because of the noise level.
The residents had thought the problem was solved,
but it obviously is not. The residents have been
accused of wanting their own private park, but
that is not true. The land was accepted by the
City for open space and the residents request
Cadencia Park not be used for league play.
Commissioner Regan commented the complaints in
1984 were because of soccer and not because of
Softball. She added there was not anywhere near
the amount of noise this year from the small girls
playing T-ball.
Query from the Commission determined the league
play is over for this year. The residents feel
the play there this spring was in violation of the
agreement, and they do not want this to continue
in the future.

3une 15, 1987 COMMISSIONERS
George Devereaux, 3202 Fosca Street, spoke in
favor of using Cadencia Park, stating it was the
only place his young child could walk to safely.
He stated it would require carpooling to get the
youngsters to Stagecoach Park, and his children
might be left out. On the weekends, this park is
not in use, with only the small children using the
park at the present time.
Ron Piazza, 7772 Rocio Street, stated there were no
patios bordering Cadenia Park, and the children
using that park are small, and he could not
understand how those children could disturb the
neighbors to the extent they are stating.
Cheryl Martin, 3015 Pueblo, commented about the
traffic, stating there is the same type of traffic
by the canyon area off of Levante, and she could
not understand why this created such a problem for
the people near Cadencia.
Dennis McDonogh addressed the Commission, stating
the children were on that field less than 100 hours
during the season, which was certainly not an
excessive amount of time.
Susan Hartley, 333* Cabo Way, asked for a show of
hands of people present who were in favor of re-
opening Cadencia Park, and this was a majority of
the people in attendance at the meeting.
Fred Ellmendorf, 7121 Manzanita, said there should
be a positive statement for their children.
Scott Pieratt, 7201 Manzanita, invited the
Commissioners to come to the games and see the
problems. He stated the park belongs to the people
of Carlsbad.
Commissioner Dahlquist stated this is not a new
issue, and it is a matter of numbers. It is
important for the City to have signs indicating a
park and whether is is active or passive.
Dave Bradstreet stated this was not a code issue.
He cannot order anyone off of the fields because
they are playing league activity. This is a policy
matter, and in this case, Cadencia Park was to be
used for league play only until that certain league
finished. The Commission had stated this area was
not to be used for league play after December 15,
1984.
Mr. Bradstreet suggested staff investigate
accommodating additional fields during the time of
league play. There are portable backstops that can
be used to allow two games to be played at the same
time. He would ask for time to try to work out
some solution. There is no place for parking at
this field and no sanitary facilities.
MINUTES

3une 15, 1987 COMMISSIONERS
There are City standards to be met, and there is to
be one fieid for every 4,000 population. At the
present time there is a shortage of one field in the
southeast quadrant. There are fields that could be
divided to allow for two or more games to be
played at the same time. Mr. Bradstreet stated
the City has a good policy, and he would request
time to Investigate this matter further to work
out re-scheduling, if necessary.
Commissioner Regan stated Cadenia was a good field
for the very small girls, as it was small and the
parents were close to the children, giving them a
sense of security. She felt it was a good pick-up
field and should be used for practice—but not for
scheduled games. The negatives are: no
washrooms, no off-street parking and close
neighbors. However, the girls are happier in a
small field.
Commissioner Regan stated her concern about the
money spent for maintenance at Cadencia,
especially since it is hardly utilized. She
suggested the Park Site Committee look into the
field and what the best uses would be. If the
area can't be utilized, then it should be sold and
the money put back into multi-purpose fields.
Ken Price stated Parks 4 Recreation had not
scheduled games into Cadencia Park, and it was too
small for adult practice. Since there is nothing
scheduled or in progress at the present time,
there is no urgency for a decision.
Commissioner Morrison felt the children need a
place, and the noise is a problem for everyone.
She would like to see that park used, and
recommended it be designated for small children
only. She did not want to put off the people who
had come here tonight to give their input.
Commissioner Lawson stated he did not feel the
Commission was putting those people off, and did
appreciate their input. He felt the Commission
wanted to make the correct decision.
Commissioner Dahlquist stated the Park Site
Committee should study this problem. The
Committee will consist of Commissioners Lawson,
Regan and Oahlquist, with a decision by the Duly
meeting.
Parks 4 Recreation Commission referred the use of
Cadencia Park to the Park Site Committee, to be
studied and discussed with staff, the homeowners
and the users, and brought back to the 3uly
meeting as an action item.
Dave Bradstreet reiterated the Commission's policy is
there is to be no league play at Cadencia Park.

Judy Piazza, 7772 Rocio Street, addressed the
Commission, stating if the neighbors want to own
Cadencia Park, she suggested the City sell it to them
and let them maintain it.
Staff Indicated other activities can take place
there, but there can be no scheduled league play.
It is possible to picnic there or have organized
play, as lona as it is presented by other than City
staff.
Commissioner Morrison stated if this park is being
used by a lot of people, that would be "use". There
should be swings there for the children, a drinking
fountain and facilities.
Oessie Hinrichs, 7127 Babilonia Street, stated this
has been an issue for a long time and should have
been resolved.
Philip Kahn, 3206 Azahar Place, stated they were made
award of this meeting two weeks ago at the Youth
Association meeting. Now it will be another month
for a study to be made. He said he was frustrated at
the lack of a decision, and asked whether the 1984
agreement was just a crutch to deprive his children
playing on that field, or was it legitimate,
aware of this meeting. Now it will be another month
for a study to be made. He stated he was frustrated
by the lack of a decision, and asked whether the 1984
agreement was a crutch to deprive his children
playing on that field or was it legitimate.
George Debber stated Cadencia should be a park for
the neighborhood, if not a practice field. It needs
swings, barbecues, benches, etc.
The request was made for the backstop to be replaced
by Parks 4 Recreation. Mr. Bradstreet stated he
would have it re-installed, but it was to be for
practice use only.
Parks 4 Recreation Commission requested staff re-
install the backstop at the Cadencia Park field on a
temporary basis until there is a final determination
made by the Commission at the Duly meeting.
Commissioner Morrison opposed the motion due to the
timing. She did not feel this should be done prior
to the decision at the 3uly meeting.
COMMITTEE REPORTS;
Commissioner Dahlquist reported she had attended a
community concert at Magee Park. She recommended
Magee House be opened for the public.
ADDITIONAL BUSINESS;
Keith Beverly announced he had received the North
Beach Planning/Traffic Study, which Includes the area
between Agua Hedionda Lagoon and Buena Vista Lagoon,
1-5 and the Ocean, with a Special Treatment Area from
the railroad tracks to the Ocean. He stated he had
put together an executive summary for the
Commissioners to read.

COMMISSIONERS
Commissioner Lawson commented that on each
gathering of the sub-committees it should be
evaluated whether it is necessary to have public
information input. He felt in the Cadencia
situation, it would be beneficial to have public
input. There should be representatives from the
youth organizations and the homeowners.
The representatives from the various groups were
invited to meet with the sub-committee on the
Cadencia Park issue.
Mr. Bradstreet stated the matter of the backstop
needs to be addressed specifically at the Duly
meeting.
Chairperson Donovan announced Commissioner Regan
will be the new PTA President at Levante and has
submitted her resignation from this Commission.
She stated a cake has been brought to the meeting
tonight, to be enjoyed by those in attendance
following the meeting. Scott Wright's name also
appears on the cake, as he will be leaving theCommission.

Based on the existing performance standard. No park acreage is
required for this non-residential zone.
Staff is proposing a park-in-lieu fee be implemented for all non-
residential development in Zone 5 at $.50 per square foot of
development.
-55-
PARKS
I.PERFORMANCE STANDARD
Three acres of Community Park or Special Use Area per
1,000 population within a Park District, must be scheduled for
construction within a five year period.
Special Considerations
Zone 5 does not include any residential uses, but is
instead composed exclusively of non-residential uses. The Growth
Management Program does not identify a Parks performance standard
for non-residential uses. Currently, non-residential uses are
required to pay Public Facilities Fees. A percentage of all
Public Facilities Fees collected are allocated for the
construction and improvements to City parks. Non-residential
uses are however, not required to pay Park-In-Lieu fees, which
have historically been utilized for the purchase of park land.
Zone 5 is located within Park Districts 1-3. At full
buildout of Zone 5, there will be approximately 22,000,000 square
feet of non-residential building area. This structural square
footage corresponds to a potential average workday population
within the Zone of at least 40,000 people. In view of this
potential number of people being located within Zone 5 on a daily
basis, the Director of Parks and Recreation believes there is a
need for park facilities within Zone 5 (see Appendix 9). These
park facilities should include active recreational facilities.
In accordance, staff recommends that a Parks performance standard
be adopted for non-residential uses within Zone 5.
Listed and discussed below are four alternative Parks
performance standards which may be applied to non-residential
uses within Zone 5. A staff recommendation for a preferred parks
performance standard will follow.
1. Park-In-Lieu fees shall be required to be paid for
all non-residential development. This fee shall be
established at a rate of $.50 per square foot of non-
residential building area, and shall be utilized for
the purchase of park land within Zone 5. The fee
shall apply to all projects or properties that do not
as yet have buildinq permits. Implementation of this
fee will result in the potential allocation of
approximately $8,969,845 for the purchase of park
facilities. Construction of the park(s) will remain
dependent upon the allocation of Public Facilities
These new funds will be earmarked for
their specific use will be determined when
and Recreation Element is revised. The
currently being updated.
-56-
Fee funds
Zone 5 and
the Parks
element is
Non-residential uses in Zone 5 shall be required to
pay a special parks fee to be utilized to initiate
development of Macario Canyon Park, which is located
immediately north of and adjacent to Zone 5. The
rate of this fee shall be $.50 per square foot of
non-residential building area and shall apply to all
projects or properties that do not as yet have
building permits. This fee will result in a similar
allocation of funds as the first alternative does.
Require that four separate areas (active recreational
parks) each totaling 3 acres in area, be developed
within Zone 5. The first active recreational park
shall be required to be constructed within one year
of approval of this Zone Plan (in 1998). The second,
third and fourth active recreational parks shall be
required to be constructed by 1993, 2002 and 2013,
respectively. This phasing of park facilities would
ensure that a 3 acre park is available for
approximately every 5,500,000 structural square feet
of non-residential development within Zone 5. With
this alternative, the property owners/developers
within the Zone would be responsible for allocatinq
property for and fully developing the parks. The
specific location of each park site would be closely
associated with the major ongoing and anticipated
concentrations of development within the Zone.
This alternative entails a hybrid of alternatives 1,
2 and 3, whereby, the property owners/developers
within Zone 5 shall be required to; (1) pay a park
fee at a rate of $.50 per sq. ft. of non-residential
building area and (2) create four separate areas
(active recreation parks) within Zone 5 which shall
be operated as active parks until Macario Canyon Park
is open for active recreational uses. The park fee
shall apply to all projects or properties that do not
as yet have building permits. Similar to alternative
3, each temporary active recreation park shall be
required to be 3 acres in area and shall be located
relative to concentrations of development within the
Zone.
At the time that Macario Canyon Park is open for
active recreational uses, the four Zone 5 temporary
park sites may be phased out and developed with
industrial uses. The separate park fees that are
collected may be allocated for either the purchase of
parks within Zone 5 or the fee may be used to improve
Macario Canyon Park.
-57-
Staff is recommending as part of this Zone Plan, that alternative
No. 1 be adopted as a Performance Standard for non-residentia1
development in Zone 5. This alternative provides the greatest
amount of flexibility, yet still assures that park facilities
will be provided in a timely manner.
Special Conditions
Staff is recommending that a park-in-lieu fee of $.50 per
square foot of non-residential be collected at the time of
building permit issuance, to be used for park facilities within
Zone 5.

TO: PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: SITE FACILITY PLANNING COMMITTEE
CADENCIA PARK
On Thursday, June 25, 1987 the Site Facility Planning Committee met
with staff, a representative from the area homeowners and the La Costa
Youth Association past president. After discussion of everyone's
concerns an agreement was reached by all parties that resolved the
Cadencia Park use issue.
This agreement was sent to all the committee members for review and
comments. The following is the agreement with those comments
incorporated in the text.
Agreement (Changes Incorporated)
The Parks and Recreation Commission Site Facility Planning Committee
recommends the Commission adopt the following:
The Cadencia Special Use area shall be utilized for general recreation
purposes to include a picnic area, tot lot and a turfed softball
field.
When no other adequate softball fields are available in the Southeast
quadrant, the Parks and Recreation staff is authorized to grant
approval, upon appropriate request, to schedule only youth softball
league games on a case by case basis, Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to
1:00 p.m. only.
League games will be limited to any Boys T-ball and Girl's Pee Wee
softball nine (9) years and younger.
Staff is directed to incorporate the park improvements in a timely
manner, utilizing funds from the 1987-88 Parks and Recreation operating
budget.

Dear Dave,
This past Friday, July 10, 1987, I met with Keith Beverly and Ken
Price to discuss the Hope Elementary Field Usage Agreement.
In order to clarify the direction in which I'm going, I felt the
need to correspond with you.
The direction the Board of Education has set, in regards to the
Hope Elementary School usage, is that the District maintain Hope field
and the City maintain Buena Vista and the upper Valley field.
If you are in agreement with this, we should move ahead with the
scheduling. The Hope School field will not be ready for use until Sept.
1, 1987. If there is work that needs to be done prior to that such as
backstops, soccer goals etc: you can have access by notifying us.
My study is more entailed than just the usage, it covers the entire
Grounds Department. I'm looking at equipment replacement programs, staff-
ing effectivness etc. The bottom line is I'm evaluating all activities
not just the part which involves the City.
With the information that I've layed out I hope you can see my
motives. As the survey and the study comes together I would be happy to
share with you the parts that have an effect on our working relationship.
If you should have any questions, please give me a call.
Sincerely,
ATTACHMENT E

July 15, 1987
TO: DAVID BRADSTREET, PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR
FROM: KEITH BEVERLY, MANAGEMENT ANALYST
MONTHLY REPORT
A presentation by the Planning Division of Rick Engineering
has indicated that the development feasibility of Larwin Community
Park has potential. A preliminary plan indicates that a number
of park amenities including a baseball/softball field, soccer
field, tot lots, parking, tennis, basketball and picnic areas can
be incorporated into the design process. Grading and SDG&E
easements within the park boundries are of major concern and
details are currently being evaluated.
Negotiations for the purchase of property adjacent to the Alta Mira
park site are continuing between staff, Sammis Development and the
property owner representatives. The possibility of acquisition of
that land is uncertain at this time, however, negotiations are and
will continue in order to acquire parkland within the Southwest
quadrant.
Year-round boardsail use and an additional pedestrian access to the
Eastern portion of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon have been analyzed by
Planning, Engineering and Parks staff. City Council will be presented
with a recommendation from staff that will create a passible
access point and allow both boardsails and jet ski activity on the
Lagoon at the same time. Separate use areas will be protected by
a restricted buffer zone in order to reduce possible liability
exposure.
Recreation staff has recently been concentrating their efforts
towards the 1987 Carlsbad Triathlon. The event held July 12 was
a tremendous success again this year. Over 740 applicants
participated in the Triathlon and Recreation staff was supported
by 175 community volunteers.
The Park Operation Division has been involved in a number of
projects including the re-landscaping of City Hall courtyard,
Administration office renovation and the Poinsettia bridge
re-landscape. The Parks Division is anticipating the responsibility
for the landscape maintenance of Stagecoach Park towards the end
of July. Details of assuming that responsibility are currently
being discussed with the contractor.
The Senior Citizen Center Architect Selection Committee has
selected a firm after a very rigorous review process. Wolff/Lang/
Christopher Architects Inc. is the firm that will be recommended
to the City Council for the design of the new Senior Citizen
facility.
