[ ] Yes ( ] New Policy or Excep idT1— 6 - / 7 19-V--" Statement of Issue, Recommendation,Analysis, Funding Source,Alternati Ie c 1 s, ac meg STATEMENT OF ISSUE There is a need to initiate the proper zoning to designate a park in the quartersection southwest of Ellis and Golden West. RECOMMENDATION Direct staff to initiate the proper zone change to designate a neighborhood park site in the quartersection southwest of Ellis and Golden West; said location to be Alternative A, the most centrally located site. ANALYSIS At its January 8 , 1990 meeting, City Council adopted the Holly/Seacliff Master Plan which established four parks, minimum four acres each, within the 768 acre area. One park is within the quartersection ( 160 acres ) bounded by Ellis Avenue, Golden West Street,' Garfield Avenue and Edwards Street, known as the Ellis-Golden West Specific Plan (EGSP) area . The Community Development and Community Services Departments have evaluated three possible locations for the EGSP park. On April 22 , 1990 , the Community Services Commission chose Alternative A because it is centrally located within the quartersection and has the best overall terrain for a neighborhood park. The commission recommended a four to five acre size park. The specific size and amenities would be determined during the design stage. On June 4, 1990 , City Council directed Community Development, with input from Community Services, to reevaluate park locations in the Holly/Seacliff Master Plan area. Attached is the report . It reconfirms the original recommendation made by staff and the Community Services Commission that centrally located Alternative A is the best site for the neighborhood park in the Ellis/Golden West quartersection. No 5/85 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION Page two To move forward with the process , City Council direction is necessary for staff initiation of a zone change to put a recreation overlay designation on the property. The current zoning is "Ellis/Golden West Specific Plan. " The matter would then be referred to the Planning Commission and then back to City Council . The process will entail public hearings at both the Planning Commission and Council levels. The zone change is necessary to enable staff to begin acquiring the property for park purposes . FUNDING SOURCE Not applicable ALTERNATIVES 1 . Select another park location. 2 . Do not designate a park within subject quartersection.

Uberuaga From Mike Adams, Director To City Administrator Community Development Subject PLANNED- PARKS IN THE HOLLY- Date June 21, 1990 SEACLIFF AREA (STUDY SESSION) The following is a discussion of the neighborhood park sites adopted as part of the Holly-Seacliff General Plan Amendment in January, 1990 . In addition, information is provided relative to sidewalks in the Ellis-Goldenwest Specific Plan area. Holly-Seacliff Neighborhood Parks : The Recreation Element of the General Plan includes a goal to provide for adequate neighborhood recreation facilities -for all areas of the City. To achieve that goal, the following general policy statements are included: a. Provide neighborhood parks that are generally 2 . 5 to 5 acres in size. b. Centrally locate parks within neighborhoods . c. Design neighborhood parks to serve the area within a one-quarter mile radius . d. When possible, locate neighborhood parks adjacent to schools so that both facilities can provide more functional uses . e. Place a high priority on developing a neighborhood park to serve the Seacliff area . f. In new residential tracts, consideration should be given to providing and maintaining neighborhood recreation areas through a homeowner' s maintenance association. To implement this g.oal in the Holly-Seacliff area, four neighborhood parks were designated in four distinct areas (see Attachment No. 1) . The General Plan Amendment proposed four neighborhood parks totalling a minimum of 13 acres . . The parks would vary in size from 2.5 to 5 acres in accord with the Recreational Element policies . Size of each park would be further identified at the specific plan review for each area based upon resident park need. At the Council meeting on January 8, 1990, a minimum neighborhood park size of 4 acres was established for a total of 16 acres . 'T� ClIftNr 4 Holly-Seacliff Stue Session Page Two The following matrix contains a breakdown of the planning sub-areas of the Holly-Seacliff General Plan Amendment and park area- calculations : PARK AREA (ACRES) SUB- ALLOWABLE HOLLY-SEACLIFF ADOPTED HOLLY- AREA UNITS POPULATION GPA PROPOSAL SEACLIFF GPA A 170 474 0 0 B 470 1537 3 4 C-1 310 1014 3 4 C-2 1225 2250 3 4 D 1450 2579 3 4 E . 785 1570 0 0 TOTALS 4410 9424 12 16 Further analysis of population clusters in each quartersection indicates that the neighborhood park designated in sub-area C-1 would be better situated and serve a greater population density in sub-area E. In addition, a minimum park size before specific plans are developed may cause for disproportionate park sizes per population density. Thus, deleting reference to minimum park size in the General Plan and evaluate park size and needs during the Specific Plan rezones would be recommended. If the City Council feels changes to the planned parks in the Holly-Seacliff area- are warranted, it is recommended that staff be directed to initiate a General Plan Amendment. Sidewalks • .. The Ellis-Goldenwest Specific Plan does not require sidewalks to be constructed. The absence of sidewalks create an estate theme and rural atmosphere extablished by Country View Estates and Central Park Estates . Existing easements and provisions for private easements contained in the Specific Plan require that space be set aside for pedestrian use along the sides of the streets . The City Attorney has determined that the absence of paved sidewalks does not create a future liablility for the City. If sidewalks are desired in the future, there is adequate space for them. ' Holly-Seacliff Stu( Session Page Three Although sidewalks are not required throughout the quater section, one side of the internal collector street will include a sidewalk. The internal collector would then have a pedestrian orientation on one side and equestrian orientation on the other . ATTACHMENTS: 1. Holly-Seacliff Open Space Element Map. . 2 . ' Sub-Area Map 3 .
