1. SR# 1120~1 NAMING OF THE PARK AT THE BUENA VISTA RESERVOIR SITE
Parks & Recreation Director Kyle Lancaster presented the City Council Policy back-
ground and intentions for the naming or renaming of parks. Mr. Lancaster went over the
policy and criteria for granting of naming rights. Mr. Lancaster gave a brief background
on the history of the Buena Vista Reservoir site. In 2014, several residents expressed
an interest in turning the site into a small park. In 2017, Community Benefit and Settle-
ment Agreements were entered into by six parties. Those agreements obligate Lennar
Homes to construct this park. The original concrete shell that formed the reservoir will be
demolished with construction however, an existing water tank will be refurbished as a
monument sign for the park entry, and a water pump station will continue to be serviced
by the Carlsbad Municipal Water District. Mr. Lancaster provided the recommendation
received by another party from the agreements. The Friends of Buena Vista Reservoir
sent an email indicating their recommendation would be option one -naming the park
the Buena Vista Reservoir Park.
The City Council will be presented with the following three options on Nov. 17, 2020:
1) Adopt a resolution naming the park the "Buena Vista Reservoir Park," or
2) Direct staff to solicit written proposals for naming the park and return to City Council
for further consideration, or
3) Provide other direction as appropriate.
The Parks & Recreation Commission was asked to advise staff as to which of these
three options it recommends for City Council action.
After a discussion, the Commission moved to recommend option one to the City Coun-
cil.
