Belsito From Norm Worthy, Director City Administrator Recreation, Parks & Human Services Subject SUNSET HEIGHTS PARK Date November 12 , 1976 REALIGNMENT Attached is the Planning Department study update which relates to the projected park needs in Sunset Heights . The study indicates there will be less children in the Sunset Heights quartersection than anticipated in the 1974 report therefore they feel the neighborhood park site could be reduced from 6 acres to between 3. 5 and 5 . 7 acres . You have recommended that only Tract #185 of Sunset Heights be acquired (184 ,973 sq. ft. or 4. 25 acres) and allow the 1. 75 acres , previously earmarked as part of the park in Tract #184 to be excluded and allowed to develop privately because of the money problems related to acquiring the land, a major one that of purchasing two houses reportedly worth over $60 , 000 and relocating the families . A subdivision map has been filed on over half the property and a decision on that will have to be made soon. The Recreation and Parks Commission studied staff reports that they had investigated the possibility of acquiring an additional acre (99 ' x 440) of vacant property north and adjacent to Tract #185 -which would allow further flexibility for acquiring additional park property through dedication from the Janes Company who contemplate building apar.t.mentson the former Eds Daisy site . RECOMMENDATION: The Recreation and Parks Commission unanimously recommended the City Council authorize a change in the proposed boundary of the Sunset Heights neighborhood park by eliminating all of Tract #184 (1 . 75 acres) from the plan, substituting the Evelyn Miller property (1 acre) on the north side of Tract #185 and the potential of adding up to 3/4 acre to the park through dedication from the Janes Company.

The analysis has _been conducted in 'three separate ways : (1) Applying the City' s neighborhood park standards (Figure 1-1, attached) to the Sunset IIeights quarter section alone, resulting in a projected park need of 5. 611 gross acres . (2) Applying the City standards to a multi-neighborhood study area (the Sunset Heights quarter section and three surrounding quarter sections, Figure 1-3 attached) , resulting in a pro- . jected park need for the Sunset IIeights quarter section of 3. 68 gross acres. (3) Applying modified neighborhood Dark standards to the Sunset IIeights quarter section, based on the presence of fewer children in Sunset IIeights within the target age group (13%) as compared to the citywide average (21%) , resulting in a projected park need of 3 .5 gross acres. Consequently, park demand in the Sunset heights quarter section ranges from 3.5 acres to 5. 6 acres , depending on the park standards used and the boundaries of the area under study. EDS:EJ: ja Attachment �y SUNSET HEIGHTS PARKS ANALYSIS Fes. Provision of adequate park facilities in Sunset Heights and vicinity has long been a concern because of the population generating capacity of the area. Prior to March, 1975 , no neighborhood parks were planned within the Sunset Heights quarter section. In March, 1975, however, an amendment to the Phase I Land Use Element was adopted which designated a 6-acre park site for the small lot area at the intersection of Pearce and Lynn Streets . Park size was based on a parks analysis for Sunset Heights and vicinity conducted by Planning Department Staff employing population projections to estimate park need (as included in the Sunset Heights Study , June , 1974) . Population projections were based on land use d sie gnation averages rather than actual demographic data . With over two years having passed since the original parks analysis was performed, the need for a more recent analysis is recognized, this time using actual demographic data as a base to reflect actual ,park need. The adequacy of a 6-acre park site can then be determined. The City currently uses the neighborhood park standards reco.(uaended by the American Public Health Association Committee on the Hygiene of Housing (Figure 1-1) . The key element in determining park demand in Sunset heights is neighborhood population and total dwelling units by type (Figure 1-2) , FIGURE 1-2 r.., NEIGIIBORHOOD PARK DEMAND Sunset Heights Quarter Section Dwelling Type Dwelling Units Population Projected Park Need One -or Two Family 92 204 . 306 gr.acs . Multi-Family 2 ,267 4 , 244 5 . 305 gr.acs . Total 2 , 359 d. u. 4 , 448 pop. 5 . 611 gr.acs . Treating the Sunset Heights quarter section in isolation, a park need of 5 . 61 gr. acs . at ultimate development is anticipated. With this in mind, a 6-acre park site is justified in this location to satisfy ultimate park demand . l,;ven though park need vs . demand is customarily evaluated on a quarter section by quarter section basis , it seem; appropriate to expand the study area to include three surrounding quarter sections and perform a multi-neighborhood analysis (Figure 1-3) . The reasoning for this is simple . Each of the three surrounding quarter sections will contain an elementary school with adjoining park, 2. 5-3. 5 acres in size. Because no school site is planned for the Sunset Heights quarter section, children will have to travel to one of these quarter sections for school and most likely will visit the park nearby . Quarter sections east of Boisa Chica Street and south of Warner Avenue were not considered _( ,l3 14 ' 11 vi id V �✓ � � r r NEIGHBORHOOD PAR: REQUIREnENTS } TYPE 0- DEVELOPMENT NEIGHBORHOOD POPULATION 1000 2000 300C 4000 5000 Persons Persons Persons Persons Persons One or 1,wo Family With private lot area per family of : More than 1/4 acre Park : No neighbor- hood requirement --- --- --- --- --- Less than 1/4 acre Park : Total Acres 1 . 50 2 . 00 2 . 50 3 . 00 3 . 50 Park : Acres per 1000 1 . 50 1 . 00 . 83 . 75 .70 persons Multi-family Or other predominantly wit::out private yards Par Total Acres 2 . 00 3 . 00 4 . 00 5 . 00 6 . 00 Park : Acres per 1000 2. 00 1 . 50 1. 33 1. 25 1 . 25 persons (As recommended by the American Public Health Association Committee on the Hygiene of Housing ) 1 Figure 1-1 because of the barri-er created by these ueavily traveled arterial highways .

Total 5,328 11,633 12.68 gr.ac. 6.5 gr.ac. 2.5 gr.ac. -3.68 gr.ac. Based on the multi-neighborhood analysis , a park site totaling 3. 7 gr. acs. would be adequate for the Sunset Heights quarter section . (A half acre beach in Huntington Harbour , not quantified by this analysis , also helps to satisfy park demand in the area. ) This reduction in necessary park size is due to an excess in park land of 1 . 78 acres in the three quarter sections surrounding Sunset Heights . A park site of 3 . 7 acres, however, would provide only 290 of the total ;dark land in Sunset Heights and vicinity . (Projected population .in Sunset heights accounts for 380 of the estimated total population for the four quarter sections. ) In contrast, a park site of 5. 6 acres (as required by the Sunset Heights quarter section alone) would provide 38% of the park land in the area, approximating Sunset heights ' share of the area ' s population. One additional factor to consider is the share of the population of Sunset Heights and vicinity that is between five and fourteen years old, the age group for which neighborhood park facilities are primarily planned. Current neighborhood park standards do not consider variations in population composition. On a Citywide basis , the five to fourteen age group constitutes approximately 21 percent of the total population . In the Sunset Heights quarter section, however, only 13% of the popula- tion is in this age category. By making adjustments in the neighborhood parks standards to reflect the presence of fewer children in Sunset Heights within the target age group, the neighborhood park demand is somewhat _less or 3. 5 gr. acs .

Belsito , City Council Members City Administrator Subject SUNSET HEIGHTS PARK/ Date December 1, 1976 GALLO PROPERTY Attached is a communication from Norm Worthy, Director of Recreation, Parks and Human Services , in which he recommends the City Council apply eminent domain proceedings on the 9 small lots on the NE corner of Lynn and Pearce Streets in Sunset Heights owned by Mr . and Mrs . Francis Gallo. This property is within the 6 acres of lots which were originally desig- nated for neighborhood park purposes on March 22 , 1976 , by the City Council . Also attached is a recommendation from the Recreation and Parks Commission that City Council authorize a change in the approved boundary of the Sun- set Heights Park site due to the Planning Department Study update which relates to the projected park needs in Sunset Hieghts . Soon after the moratorium was lifted on Tract #185 in Sunset Heights, Mr. Gallo was issued a building permit on his buildable parcel and proceed- ed with plans and ultimately construction of a single family house and two rental units . In the meantime, the paperwork was being processed for acquisition of all the lots within the 6 acre designation. Mr. Gallo ar- ranged financing and proceeded with construction about the same time he was given a notice of "Intention to File Eminent Domain. " Even though he was temporarily stopped by failure to observe the boundary of an easement he has since corrected his plan and continued construction. In my opin- ion, it would be costly for the City to acquire his property including the current on-going improvements . Since the Planning Department has recom- mended we reduce the size of the park site to between 3 . 5 to 5 . 7 acres , I would suggest we eliminate 1- 3/4 acres of title problem lots in Tract #184, Mr. Gallo ' s 1/4 acre and acquire Mrs. Evelyn Miller ' s 1 acre of vacant property north and adjacent to Tract #185 . This would make the total park site 5 acres . RECOMMENDATION That the City Council adjust the boundary of the Sunset Heights neighborhood park site by excluding the previously approved 1 . 75 acres of small lots in Tract #184, 9 lots (#130-136, #155 and 156) in Tract #185 and acquiring, by eminent domain if necessary, the remaining 9 property parcels (32 lots or . 92 acres) and the Evelyn Miller parcels (1 acre) north and adjacent to Tract #185 .

The dark colored lots on the attached map plus a single lot in tract #184 are those that have been agreed for purchase and up- on approval by the City Council would add to Mrs .

The agreed upon price is $25 , 506 or $55 , 690 per acre for R- 2 land plus escrow and closing costs . RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council of Huntington Beach approve the purchase of 16 lots .from 11 owners within the area designated as a neighborhood park in Sunset Heights , Huntington Beach , for the sum of $25 , 506 (19 , 929 sq . ft . ) .

In the meantime , I received a pre- liminary ' ti.tle report from Title Insurance Co . of Santa Ana which described a 20 ' wide private easement through his prop- erty for access benefit to other lot owners in the tract . He had planned for a 20 ' easement in the design of his proposed structures , but it was 4 ' off according to the title report . The Department of Building and Community Development then , upon notification from the City Attorney and. myself , applied a "stop work" action on the building project on Friday , Novem- ber 12 . At that time forms for the foundation, trenching , and some plumbing were in. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the acquisition of lots #130- 9136 , 155 and #156 (9) tract #185 , in the City of Huntington Beach, County of Orange , State of California , as shown on a map re- corded in book 12 , page 28 of miscellaneous maps , in the office of the County Recorder of said City , by the process of eminent domain through approval of Resolution # as this property is necessary for proper design and configuration of the Sunset Heights neighborhood park.
