[ ] Yes [ ] New Policy or Exceptio Statement of Issue, Recommendation,Analysis, Funding Source,Alternative Actions, A achmeks: STATEMENT OF ISSUE- Six proposals have been received according to City Council direction for the development of a golf facility in Huntington Central Park. RECOMMENDATION Approve the concept of an eighteen hole golf course in the undeveloped portion of Huntington Central Park and direct staff to negotiate with American Golf Corporation for the design, construction and operation of the golf course. ANALYSIS On April 3, 1989, City Council directed staff to send out Request for Proposals (RFP) for a golf facility in Huntington Central Park. The intent of the RFP was to determine if there was interest in the private sector for some type of golf facility in the park. The due date for completed proposals was July 14, 1989. The six applicants are American Golf Corporation (Lead Person: Lynn Shackelford); Art Schilling and Landmark Land Company of California (Lead Person: Art Schilling); General Golf (Lead Person: Christopher Jones); Anderson and Dickey Golf Course Management (Lead Persons: Jerry Anderson and Perry Dickey, Jr. ) ; Central Park Golf Associates (Lead Person: Prentice Taylor) ; and CCA Silband Sports Corporation (Lead Person: James Husband) . The City Council Ad Hoc Committee has reviewed the six proposals submitted and chosen the top finalist, which is American Golf Corporation. The other five proposals are being held in abeyance until negotiations are completed and a final decision is made by City Council . The committee feels that negotiations must now commence in order to move to a more complete, concrete proposal including finalizing variables such as size of course, facilities to be included and the details of the development/operation agreement. Issues such as equestrian trails, methane gas and the Driftwood Mobile Home Park relocation will also be addressed as part of this negotiation process. The American Golf proposal and park site appear to best support an 18 hole executive golf course with driving range/practice area, a pro shop, and food and beverage area. I P10 4/84 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIMTION SEPTEMBER 5; 1989 HUNTINGTON CENTRAL PARK F COURSE 0 PAGE TWO The following is a summary of the open space/recreation areas in Huntington Beach: 1 . 280 acres in Huntington Central Park, not including the land for the proposed golf course; 2. 113 acres in the proposed regional linear park; 3. 9 miles of open public beach; 4. 57 public parks covering 300 acres; 5. 1 ,150 acres of proposed wetlands/open space. Relative to other urban communities in the Los Angeles/Orange Counties area, it is doubtful that there are many who can match these statistics. The City Council Ad Hoc Committee feels that a golf course is a viable recreation facility for Huntington Central Park. It will attractively develop an area that is currently an eyesore without incurring maintenance costs for the city. It will also serve a large segment of the community's golfers who have only minimal public golf facilities available at this time. The site will also produce substantial revenue for the city. The minimum guarantee is $200,000 per year for the first five years; it escalates to t500,000 per year after twenty years. The city would also receive a percentage of the gross receipts. FUNDING SOURCE N/A ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS 1 . Direct staff to reduce the golf concept from an executive golf course to a driving range/practice center on twenty acres. 2. Do not develop a golf course in Huntington Central Park. 3. Direct staff to build and administer a city-operated golf course.

M1 4 V CONSTRUCTION AND TIME FRAME (see following pages) Y i I 5 GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE CENTRAL PARK GOLF COURSE July 11, 1989 t t+ Introduction• The Preliminary Plan for the Central Park Golf Course - City of Huntington Beach as attached reflects the character and quality of the improvements American Golf proposes for the project. The scope of the proposed improvements include: (1) An 18 hole golf course designed by architects Williams, Gill and Associates, (2) A practice/teaching range with practice chipping and bunker areas, �- (3) A full clubhouse including pro shop, restaurant, and bar, (4) A limited clubhouse at the practice center with snack bar, and club repair, (5) A maintenance building and service area (6) A cart storage and repair facility for 25 carts. The proposed golf course will be designed by Williams, Gill and Associates, Golf I Course Architects. They will provide all golf course related documents and Bob Dur- ham, AIA will provide all documentation for buildings. Documentation of the proposed project will consist of all necessary construction drawings for the successful ,p execution of the project and will include: Golf Course: Ito -Staking, layout and dimension plans -Grading and drainage plan -Individual green, tee and bunker detail plans -General construction detail sheets -Seeding and planting plan -General landscape development plans -Practice range detail plans -Irrigation piping plans r -Irrigation program plans -Water supply plans Buildings: -Floor plans -Elevations and typical sections -Door/window and interior schedules -Footing and related structural details -Utility and related structural details -Electrical, water supply and waste piping plans 6 �tl pl A �I- ;M Outline specifications for Central Park Golf Course are presented below. The outline ' specifications cover the materials to be used and addressed: r, -Greens and teeing ground construction -Fairway construction -Sand bunker construction -Irrigation system installation -Water supply system construction -Seeding and planting installation l -Cart path construction 1t, -Driving range construction -Driving range lighting installation 1 -Parking lot construction ,! Eighteen Hole Executive Golf Course: The proposed minimum par 61 full length golf course to be designed by Williams & Gill will provide all ability levels of players a chal- lenging and enjoyable round of golf. The course will have modest sized undulating greens and large expansive tees. Sand and turf bunkers will guard greens and direct t fairways shots. Water will be an integral element in the layout of the links and a large lake is proposed for irrigation purposes. The course will be professionally managed during the maturation phase to provide outstanding turf quality when the course opens. Greens and Teeing Ground Construction: Greens to be constructed on the proposed golf facility will be of the contemporary, built-up style utilizing the Modified California Greens Construction Method. This method uses 12 to 14 inches of special top-mix con- sisting of approximately 80 percent sand and 20 percent peat uniformly spread over the prepared subgrade contour. To promote deep root development, drainage tile will be installed beneath each green. The surface contouring of the greens will be designed to � shed excess water in at least two directions. Greens will average-approximately 5,500 square feet in size and will be designs so that a minimum of 85 percent of the green area is satisfactory as possible pin set locations. Teeing grounds will be constructed in a manner similar to the greens using four inches of top-mix or a minimum of six inches of quality topsoil. The grounds will be slightly elevated and sloped to surface drain and will average approximately 6,000 square feet in size. The teeing grounds will be designed to accommodate three sets of markers. Turf bunkers or other earthen mounds within the fairway will be graded in such manner that mowing operations will not require specialized equipment or excessive man-hours of labor. Slopes will be maintained at a maximum of 3 to 1 (horizontal to vertical) on exterior banks and 2.5 to 1 on interior banks. Fairway areas will receive a minimum of 4 inches of on-site topsoil over the prepared subgrade contours. 7 Sand Bunker Construction: Sand bunker will be constructed to conform with USGA rules regulating bunker play. Bunkers will be of the raised contemporary type con- structed such that surrounding surface water will not drain through the bunker. All sand bunkers will have a sub-surface drainage system consisting of 4 inch perforated tubing. Exterior and interior bunker slopes will be the same as those specified for the turf bunkers or earthen mounds. I Irrigation System Installation: The proposed irrigation system will consist of a fully automatic, centrally controlled, hydraulic or electric control system utilizing major manufacturer components designed and sold for golf course use. The system will fea- ture individual head control on the greens and tees and individual or dual head control i in the fairways. Greens and tees will be centrally controlled separate from fairway or rough areas. The system will be designed to operate using subsurface ground water and will utilize contamination resistant valves and sprinkler heads as necessary. The electri- cal components of the system, valves, field controllers and central controller, will be surge protected from lightning strikes. The pro shop, putting green and maintenance building areas and other non-golf areas such as entrance drives and parking lots will be irrigated using institutional and com- mercial grade components. This system will be controlled separately from the golf -, course system. Water Supply System Construction: Water for the system will be supplied from the fol- lowing: -Existing city water. Supply water will be transferred to the irrigation pond where it will be pumped into the irrigation system using a pre-engineered/package pump station of approximately 1000 gpm capacity. Pump station will be fully automatic in operation. Backflow prevention devices will be installed to protect all potable water connections as required. 1 Seeding and Planting_Installation: Prior to the last cultivation all seed beds will be I amended with appropriate materials or chemicals to achieve the correct soil balance for optimum turf growth of the type specified. Amendments may include applications of sulfur, gypsum, lime, iron chelate or other types of soil acidifiers or alkalizing com- pounds to create a soil ph range of 5.5 to 7.5. Immediately prior to seeding the contractor will apply the specified ratio of starter fer- tilizer at the rate indicated on the drawings. Greens will be seeded in two directions with Pencross Creeping Bentgrass at the rate of approximately (1) pound per 1000 square feet. Tees, fairways and rough areas will be seeded with turf type perennial ryegrass at the rate of 350 pounds per acre and then overseeded with common ber- mudagrass at the rate of approximately 30 pounds per acre. 8 Golf Course Clubhouse: Our objective is to ultimately create a clubhouse facility that exceeds the expectations of our customers and our landlord. We expect to service our golfing and dining cus- tomers with great service in a comfortable and appropriately appointed environment. Attention will be given to every customer service detail and to functional operation. The clubhouse will encompass the restaurant/bar, snack bar, pro shop, and starter areas. The clubhouse will be appropriately positioned to service the first, and loth. tees while taking advantage of a good view. We believe the building would be a "GROUP A OC- CUPANCY"3 type building,TYPE 5 non-rated construction. The building will be handicap accessible. The exterior facade, roof, and landscape of the structure will be designed to be consistent with the architectural pallet of the over- all project and subject to the City of Huntington Beach's approval. Floor space within the structure will be allocated approximately as follows: -Pro shop retail sales, bags, shirts, clubs, etc... 1500 sq. ft. -Starter area and behind the counter sales......... 95 sq. ft. -Snack bar and self service food area..............680 sq. ft. • -Restrooms.........................................250 sq. ft. -Manager's office..................................100 sq. ft. -Dressing room..................................... 16 sq. ft. -Restaurant area....................... 2264 sq. ft. l Practice Center Clubhouse: The practice center clubhouse will be approximately 1,680 I square feet in size. The building will be handicap accessible. The exterior of the struc- ture will be covered with T 111 grooved siding. The mansard style roof will be con- structed of color coordinated ribbed metal.. Floor space within the structure will be allocated approximately as follows: -Pro shop retail sales, bags, shirts, clubs etc....560 sq. ft. -Starter area and behind the counter sales......... 95 sq. ft. -Snack bar and self service food area..............580 sq. ft. -Rest rooms........................................250 sq. ft. -Ball washing/storage.............................. 95 sq. ft. -Managers office................................... 60 sq. ft. -Dressing room..................................... 16 sq. ft. Complementing the building will be an exterior hard surfaced landscaped patio area which will connect the pro shop/snack bar with the practice and teaching range tee line and the golf putting course. ,. 9 1 The golf putting course will provide a fun and enjoyable eneral recreation experience. g P g Pg P 1 The course will occupy an area of approximately 16,000 square feet. The desig n of the putting course will be challenging with contoured and rolling fair- way/green areas and natural hazards such as rocks, water, sand and landscaped areas. The golf putting course will be night lighted to extend the hours of operation for the residents of the area. The golf putting course will be secured and landscaped as re- quired. Golf Maintenance Building and Area: The golf maintenance area will be located away from the clubhouse with dedicated access. The maintenance building will be ap- proximately 3,600 square feet in size and will contain the golf superintendents office, chemical storage room, equipment service/storage area, employee lunch room and rest room facilities. The maintenance building and general service area will be fenced, screened, landscaped and security lighted. It's road access has not been determined. The maintenance area will service both the golf course and the golf practice center. The maintenance yard is designed in the most economical and efficient way to handle 7 all storage and traffic problems. The two 16 foot sliding chain link gates, allows the .sand and gravel trucks to enter the yard, back into the storage bins and exit without 7 much trouble. The fencing around the compound may also be totally chain link fenc- ing, 10 feet in height. Depending on the size, the square footage may be modified changing the length, and width, to achieve the same square foot objective. The gas tanks, (both diesel and regular), will be located near an opening to allow easy access for maintenance equipment and to have a concrete apron surrounding the pumping area. There will be a designated wash area close to the building and carport structure so the equipment may be cleaned and then stored close by. The wash area must incorporate the use of a sand trap and also a floor drain with a leaf catch. The yard area may be as- phalt or crushed decomposed granite, depending on the size of lot. t On the attached plan, the dotted line represents where the yard should end for an 18 hole complex. The extra area passed the line would be used only for a 36 or 54 hole complex. This would be required to house the extra equipment necessary to maintain the course. 11 Parking: A 75 car asphalt parking area will be built adjacent to the practice center tee line and a 160 car asphalt paring area will be built adjacent to the golf course club- house. The parking areas will be landscaped to compliment the practice center and _ golf clubhouse. Handicapped spaces will be provided as required. The parking lots will be constructed using cast in place integral 3,000 psi concrete curb and gutter at all parking lot edges and landscape medians with either a 3 inch built-up jbituminous surfacing over a 5 inch crushed stone base or 4 inch full depth asphaltic con- crete pavement over prepared sub-grade. (The final determination will be made upon completion of the area design.) The parking lot will be graded to achieve positive sur- face drainage at a minimum slope of 0.5%. Access to all buildings will be barrier free through the construction of ramps or other portages. al 10 r i I " Cart Storage Building; American golf proposes plan for the "drive-thru" cart storage building that will accommodate up to 25 carts. The "drive thru" plan is the most operationally functional plan allowing the cars to drive through to ease cart rotation. By driving through it is also less damaging to both the cart and the cart storage building itself. r_ Each cart storage building will be equipped with double 2' X 12's with the bottom at J 12" above the finished floor attached the length and width of the interior of the build- ing. This prevents damage to the wall studs and the exterior finish when the carts hit the wall. The doors will be the metal roll-up type for ease of operation and easy main- tenance. The floor will be sloped from front-to-back (in the drive-in) and with a high point in the center, slope the drive-through from side-to-side. This is to allow drainage for cleaning purposes. rJ Golf Practice and Teaching Center: American Golf proposed to build a stand alone practice center comprised of a practice tee-line, practice chipping area, and a putting course.The driving range element of the teaching center will consist of a 65,000 square foot turf teeing ground area and a 14 foot by 300 foot all weather tee line. The turf tee will be constructed in a manner identical to the golf course teeing grounds. The turf tee area will be fully irrigated and seeded with common bermudagrass and then over seeded on a continual basis with annual rye. The all weather tee will be constructed of 2,500 psi, stiff broom finished color impregnated concrete to blend with surrounding building and landscape colors. The out field of the range will be planted in common bermudagrass and is intended to be fully irrigated. The range will be fully enclosed with driving range netting and fence of approximated 35 feet in height. The net and fencing will be color coordinated to augment other color schemes in the project. The range will be comprised of a two-tier tee line, one at park- ing lot-clubhouse grade, and the second at approximately 14 feet below tee-level one. Each proposed range level will provide for 30 to 40 golf stations offering the patron a choice between an all weather quality artificial mat surface or professionally groom and maintained natural turf surface. The tee line will orientate in the most advantageous direction with respect to winter and summer sun angles and wind patterns of the area. We propose to have the range night lighted using a combination of subgrade lighting and above grade light standards to accomplish a uniform lighting without pollution to adjoining property. The practice range will be lighted with metal halide lamps mounted on 35 foot poles. At the practice tee the standards will be located approximately fifty foot on center across the width of the tee. Each pole would typically support four 1,000 watt luminaries. Average maintained light levels will be about 20 foot candles horizontal on the tees and 10 foot candles vertical at 200 yards. 11 Golf Practice and TeachingCenter: The range will be landscaped and architectural) g P Y featured to create target greens with bunkers and target fairways. Because the range area will be depressed to accommodate water drainage, golfers will have an excellent ' view of target areas and the flight of the ball. The tee line is oriented in the most ad- vantageous direction with respect to winter and summer sun angles and wind patters of the area. As a part of the practice and teaching center, a practice chipping area and practice .� bunkers will be developed to provide golfers a location to improve their skills in this area of play. The chipping/bunker area will be night lighted and will be comprised of a minimum of 8 independent greens, and rough areas as shown on the plans.

Irrigation Management � From the start, all of the parties involved realized that the concept of a , wall-to-wall green golf course was ga simply out of the question. The man- datory restrictions required a different approach, one that would likely run counter to the commonly accepted per- ception of what a golf course should be. The basic framework of this new approach was first crafted by Garrett Gill, a golf course and landscape Ailarchitect and engineer who had worked ± ,;. with American Golf on a number other projects. Borrowing a page out of the desert courses'"target golf"philosophy, Gill's irrigation management summary subdivided Applewood's acreage into 1 five distinct turf areas, in descending order of maintenance requirements: • Greens and teeing ground areas (5 - acres). • Landing areas and approaches (22 acres). • Other fairway areas (35 acres). • Rough areas (60 acres). • Out-of-play aeas (25 acres). For each area, Gill recommended grass strains and irrigation levels to reduce the amount of water needed and to establish a more healthy turf that would be more tolerant of disease and insect infestation. For example, he prescribed seedings of Penncross or Penneagle creeping The irrigation management plan for Applewood divided the course into live turf- bentgrass for the greens and either bent- grass areas. For each area, the architect recommended grasses and irrigation levels grass or a rye/bluegrass blend for the to reduce the amount of water needed and to establish a healthier turf. tees.

Landing areas and approaches were to be seeded with a ryegrass/bluegrass blend, irrigated at a rate of 52 inches per acre, or 95 acre feet total per year, and mowed at a height of 5/8 inch. Moving down the scale, other fairway areas were to be seeded with a bluegrass chewings fescue/hard fescue blend, which is more t drought tolerant and features a lower fertility requirement. When mowed at a height of 1 inch, water usage was - " projected at 31.5 inches per acre, or 92 +�" acre feet total per year. Taking the philosophy one step fur- ther, Gill suggested that the rough areas gg g •; ti be seeded with buffalograss, turf-type hard fescues and turf-type tall fescues ' that could withstand a mowing height of 3 inches and an irrigation level of 11 inches per acre, or 58 acre feet total annually. ' And out-of-play areas, once estab- lished- would require no active main- tenance at all. Gill recommended rein- troducing native landscape plantings that, once developed, would result in a water savings of 22 inches per acre, or 46 acre feet total per year. The native materials would also provide screening _ between the golf holes and provide a vegetative filter for run-off water enter- ing the course's lakes and ditches. "We mapped out the course and dis- covered that there was quite a bit of room between fairways,"said Gill. "We also found that it was laid out on a square plot of land. That usually means you end up with a lot of triangular dead space. We just started (developing the plan) with those areas and expanded inward from there." One of the many improvements made to Applewood, which sits in the shadow of A New Irrigation System the Rocky Mountains, was the renovation of the driving range. ' The plan also pointed to another cru- cial change for Applewood. The exist- ing irrigation system was 35 years old on Auxer, who had already anticipated again. and had been allowed to fall into dis- significant patron resistance to the rad- "Play for those months was next to repair.

More than t 100,000 pounds of seed were spread in 1988 alone. "Once we started seeding and aerify- ing intensely, some of the older players started to come back," he said. "It wasn't long before we started to hear comments like, `The fairways haven't ` looked that good in years.' I think they were starting to see that what we were doing was right-" Y More Work To Be Done Although a precise assessment of the ` course's progress in its first year won't r 1: be known until the winter thaw, Auxer said much more work still needs to be r r.

Other problem areas include trees in need of extensive pruning,ditch work around lakes,reno- vation of the cart and walking paths and a general upgrade of the landscaping around the clubhouse. •• -�,,,.� "'�,i j+��J,,, r, :, Much of this work will be slowed by I the tight restrictions on chemical usage.

There are approximately fifty-seven acres of undeveloped land available west of Golden West Street and north of Ellis Avenue that currently include horse trails. There are also approximately fifty acres east of Golden West between Talbert and Ellis Avenues. This acreage east of Golden West is an estimation because it includes the land around Sully-Miller Lake, which may or may not be usable area because of the steepness of the lake banks. See attached map for the undeveloped sections of the park that can be considered. A mobile home park is also being developed northeast of Golden West and Ellis on an additional twenty-five acres of parkland. The plans for this mobile home complex include a three par nine-hole golf course. This proposed three par course should be included with or without modifications in length, number of holes, etc. in a proposal for a golf facility. The proposal will include any one of the three alternatives or combination thereof: 1. A facility on the east side of Golden West ly 50 acres in size adjacent to the Ocean View Estates Mobile Homes. fo 2. A facility on the west side of Golden West approximately 57 acres. 3. A facility combining both sides of Golden West of approximately 107 acres. Proposal should be specific as to types of facilities and services to be provided, amount and location of area required, term of agreement and benefits to the city, such as estimated revenue. The proposal must indicate in enough detail for the city to make a decision on the golf facility to be developed in addition to the nine-hole, three par course adjacent to the mobile home park; and if the facility will include clubhouse, pro shop, driving range, etc. A copy of the attached map with area to be utilized must accompany the proposal. All proposals will receive due consideration by a panel established by the City Council. A recommendation will be forthcoming from this panel to the City Council. The City Council will make the final determination. A pre-proposal meeting will be held on at to allow companies who may submit proposals to ask the city panel questions about the project. REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL PAGE TWO HUNTINGTON CENTRAL PARK GOLF FACILITY Due date for proposals is 5:00 p.m. , in an envelope with the following notation "Central Park Golf Facility" to: City of Huntington Beach Community Services Department 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach, CA 92648 Each proposal should include the following information: 1.

This grant encompasses acquisition of approximately 55 . 62 acres within the Second Phase Acquisition Program of Huntington Central Park (see Exhibit A) . The application submitted herewith is for the purpose of commencing First Phase Development of that portion of Huntington Central Park consisting of 55 . 62 acres and generally referred to as Huntington Central Park - Second Phase. The City ' s acquisition efforts under Second Phase Acquisition are as follows : Property Negotiated for Sale or -Exchange - 34 . 77 acres Property Currently Under Negotiation - 20. 85 acres Total Second Phase Acquisition 55 . 62 acres The attached photographs should give an indication of the proposed natural development of Huntington Central Park. Letter No . OS-17 This project is classified under Program Output Group F which includes all open space development activities . A letter dated July 22 , 1969 , from Samuel Weinstein of HUD, emphasized the significance of this project and has been enclosed for your perusal (see Exhibit B) . City' s Growth In 1960 the urbanization sprawl coming out of southern Los Angeles County caused a subdivision boom in the agricultural flat lands of the city. This boom is still under way and is increasing the city' s population by 700 to 1200 people per month. The city' s present population exceeds 124 , 300 . The city has recently embarked on a planning-action program which will determine its future . Basically the program recognizes that the old town area (referred to as the Mid-Beach Growth Area) is the area of highest potential . It is this beach oriented section of the town that will contain the concentrated commercial , office , apartment and recreation oriented development that will provide the future tax base of our city and create those attributes for which Huntington Beach will be most proud. Huntington Central Park will create the necessary positive transitional use which will act as the buffer between the residential flat lands and the Mid-Beach Growth Area. Also , the park will act as a buffer between the residential areas , the adopted Route 1 Freeway and existing and proposed industrial development . INTRODUCTION Huntington Central Park will create the first visual impact. of the Mid-Beach area for freeway travelers coming down the coast from Los Angeles . This impact will have a definite effect upon the image. and therefore the development of the Mid-Beach. Visual impact will be carried on throughout the area. Where the Route 1 and Route 39 Freeways intersect along the coast , the city has completed a 2 . 3 million dollar revenue bond program which total-ly landscapes the north side of Pacific Coast Highway, the center . divider and the new 2500 space beach parking facility on the south side of the highway for slightly over one mile . Other visual impact. points are also being considered for major upgrading. The Mid-Beach Program is proceeding with various projects such as the beach parking lot and landscaping. In addition , master planning . . of land use patterns and future projects will augment and implement various policy decisions which have been made for the area. It is apparent to the city' s planning program that Huntington Central Park has much greater ramifications than just providing for the recreational deficiencies of Southern California. Status of Priority Huntington Central Park acquisition and development is a stated top priority item of the Huntington Beach City Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission . Therefore , development is anticipated to commence as soon as funds , both municipal and federal , become available . The architectural firm of Eckbo , Dean , Austin Williams has been contracted to prepare a land use plan and outline engineering and architectural solutions for the project . A copy of the land use development plans economic analysis and illustrated report have been included for your review. The essential point is that this area, because of its natural assets , allows the possibility of high use with minimum First Phase develop- ment . Evidence of- Community Need for Federal Assistance , Including Frequency and Volume of Prior Grants The city is actively pursuing implementation of a comprehensive parks and recreation program. This program includes acquisition and development of 32 neighborhood parks , 6 community parks , special facilities (18 hole golf course , recreation centers , harbors , beaches and development under Edison Company high line easements) and the Huntington Central Park. In June 1969 the voters of Huntington Beach approved a $6 million bond issue for the financing of this comprehensive program. The city was successful in selling these bonds to Bank of America on February 16 , 1970 at the surprising interest rate of 5 . 940 . In conjunction with this revenue , our Open Space Grant Application CALIF-OSA-375 (G) covering a grant of $704 ,412 for First Phase Acquisition of Huntington Central Park was approved by HUD. INTRODUCTION J The success of this grant request for First Phase development of Huntington Central Park - Second Phase would have a significant affect on the total comprehensive parks program and enable the city to acquire in perpetuity sufficient land to create a desirable environment for its citizens.

This application covered First Phase Acquisition of Huntington Central Park. This Master Plan indicated surpluses and deficiencies of park facilities in Orange County over a three-phase , 20 year program. A request was made to the Orange County Planning department for their comment on this proposed facility (see attachment) . Their reply appears under OS 113 . The City has contracted the landscape architect firm of Eckbo , Dean , Austin and Williams (EDAW) to prepare a development plan which would incorporate the proposed development activities with the open space . acquisition and development program for the urban area. In preparing such 'a development plan , EDAW formulated the following concept for the park. Concept for the Park Central City Park will be a community park. It will be passive with emphasis on a natural landscape . There will be beautiful large groves of trees and generous open areas . Walks. and paths will wind in and out of the trees taking people to hills and valleys in the park . There will be views to the lakes and distant mountains . The ocean will be seen from the bluffs while dining at the restaurant in the park. Parking will be minimal but conveniently located. It will be concentra- ted and on the periphery of the park. Landscaping will bring all parts of the park together forming beautiful settings for buildings and delightful areas for people to play and relax. Music in the amphitheater and art at the library will expand the park' s appeal . A beautiful garden in a .quarry and nature walks through isolated meadows will create worlds apart from the suburbs . The meadows in spring will have wildflowers , the trees beautiful blossoms . Birds and small animals will find refuge and food in the plants of the park. Migrating ducks will have breeding and feeding grounds isolated for their protection . Nature buildings will allow man to view nature ' s world. OS 112 Warm, clear days will see softball and football on the lawns . Children will play nearby. A shelter will offer protection for picnics if a drizzle should happen by. All the park will come alive on holidays - a boat ride , a golf game , lunch by the lake , a bike ride or a dinner as, the day ends . For the camper of Huntington Beach a site will be near. There will be places for tents , fires and groups to sing. An area down the trail will have fishing and a canoe practice pond. The child- ren will see , feel and begin to understand animals in the nearby animal farm. The park will be fun ; it will be colorful , changing and exciting . There will be areas for every person, animal and bird. It will be a part of the city and the city a part of it . OS 112 Huntington Beach Planning Commission P.O.

Reynolds Planning Director City of Huntington Beach Post Office Box 190 Huntington Beach, California 92648 Dear Ken: I have reviewed your plans . for Huntington, Central Park with interest and I'm pleased that the city is moving. forward with an acquisition program. Our current assessment of the recreation picture here in Orange County indicates that our most serious deficiencies are in the area of neighborhood and community parks. The acquisition and development of Huntington Central Park appears to be critical to the city if it is to retain a reasonable standard of recreational _ facilities for its citizens. As you probably remember we studied this site to determine its regional park potentials last April. Our conclusion at that time. was that the site was best suited to community park status and was too small to compete with the proposals of the county's Master Plan of Regional Parks as a regional park. We felt that at very best it would rank in the lower part of Priority Group III of the Master Plan. We recognized that the pressures of urbanization. in this area would require immediate acquisition and that inclusion in the county's Master Plan could not assist any acquisition program prior to 1980 The relationship of Huntington Central Park to the county' s regional park proposals in the north coast area appears to be. a very important .one. I think the location', number and size -of the regional park proposals will only meet the demands of the popu- lation of this area if the cities can develop neighborhood and community parks. We must jointly provide a balance of types and sizes of recreational facilities. 4 4.: _ fir. �.�K,• OS 113 pow Mr. K. A. Reynolds March 20, 1969 Page Two I foresee no conflict between the uses proposed for Huntington Central Park and those proposed for the system of regional parks designed to serve the north coast area of Orange County. I think the city of Huntington :Beach is fulfilling a very important responsibility by providing recreational facilities at the community level that are compatible with the regional parks program.

TARGET DATE-FORMAL APPLICATION February 3, 1971 SLAG Planning Dept., 15 Oct.'69 CIRCULAR A-95 CLEARINGHOUSE NOTIFICATION ATTACHMENT 4 . Brief Description of Project Huntington Central Park was originally divided into three phases of acquisition and development . First Phase consisted of 147 acres , Second Phase adds another 98 acres and eventually Third Phase would include a 155 acre golf course . However, due to imminent threat of development in some of the Second and Third Phase areas , as well as elimination of an 18 hole golf co-urse in Third Phase to be replaced by additional open space and recreational elements , it has become necessary to depart from our original phasing and re -structure the Park' s phases according to criticalness of acquisition. Therefore , the revised phases would be : Phase I - 147 acres Phase II - 60 acres Phase II-A - 37 acres Phase III - 156 acres This park contains two natural lakes and appears to be the last undeveloped natural fresh water lake area in the heart of the urbanized area. In addition to the proposed regional and sub- regional uses planned for the park, such as ; overnight camping , fishing and nature trails , there is a -scenic benefit to local residents and freeway travelers that would be difficult to duplicate (see enclosure from HUD) . Under First Phase Acquisition , the City currently owns 76 . 73 acres , and is in the process of negotiating for an additional 70.27 acres . We received a- $704 ,412 Open Space Grant from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for 50% of the acquisition cost in First Phase . The City also received a $172 ,153 Development Grant from HUD which covers First Phase Development of Huntington Central Park-Phase I . It became imperative to file another Open Space Grant for approximately 60 acres within -Second -Phase Acquisition. because of impending development within the area, since 9. 36 acres were being considered by a large developer for a residential sub- division immediately adjacent to one of the lakes . Most of the remaining acreage within Second Phase- represents the finest natural breeding area for water fowl in the entire state . It also contains the greatest variety* of natural vegei�tign in the total park site . As a result , we received an additional $582 , 816 from HUD for assistance in acquisition of Second Phase property. It has now become necessary to initiate First Phase Development of the 60 acres comprising Huntington Central Park-Second Phase . 1 5 . Relationship of Project to.: a. Comprehensive Planning Huntington Beach is involved in a comprehensive planning program. It adopted a Master Plan in 1958 upon which the City was divided into five study areas . Each area is updated periodically adding elements as they are adopted. b . Functional Element Planning The following elements are adjuncts to the City ' s Master Plan: 1 . Land Use 2 . Arterial Streets & Highways 3. Public Facilities 4. Parks , Open Spaces , Schools & Recreation 5 ._ Non-Structural Blight Two recent ordinances dealing with the City ' s concern with beautification are being implemented by: 1 . Underground Utilities Commission 2 . Design Review Board The City has also adopted Resolutions establishing a time schedule for adoption of a Housing Element to the Master . Plan (see enclosed resolutions) . 6 . Area-Wide Coordination The City received a response from the Orange County Planning Department on March 25 , 1969 indicating the City of Huntington Beach is fulfilling a very important responsibility by providing recreational facilities at the community level which are compatible with the County' s regional parks program (see enclosure) . The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) received copies of our previous applications covering Huntington Central Park for its review.

The proposed facility is oriented to community-wide service and constitutes a special purpose feature of the Parks , Open Spaces, Schools and Recreation Element of the Master Plan of Huntington Beach adopted in 1966. The city has a vigorous program of neigh- borhood park lands acquisition supported in part by requirements of the Subdivision Ordinance. The .proposed project has been endorsed by the County Planning Department as an appropriate . supplement by both location and service category to the Orange County Plan of -Regional' Parks,. 3. This application was considered by the SCAG Council of Planning on March 21, 1969 as to relationship to comprehensive planning and area-wide coordination at which time a recommendation to the Executive Committee for favorable action was adopted.

Review Data for Executive Committee Meeting of March 12, 19`70_: 1. The proposed project represents phase two of an acquisition and development program for a central community park which will take advantage of unique physical features of this site located at the geographic center of the city. Urgency of acquisition is attested to by the fact of one portion being considered by its owner for residential subdivision and by dumping taking place on another portion which would eliminate a natural lake if permitted to continue. 2. This application is parallel in all respects to that for phase one acquisition which was favorably reviewed by the SCAG Execu- tive Committee as to its relationship to comprehensive planning . and to area-wide coordination on 'Apri1 10, 1969 (SCAG File Num- ber 340-OS-60) . 3. This application was considered by the . SCAG Council of Plan- ning at its meeting of February 20, 1969 at which time a recom- mendation for favorable action was adopted. Staff Recommendation: That the Executive Committee certify that the proposed project is not inconsistent with the regional plans, policies and programs being developed by the Association.

Floyd G. Belsito Administrative Assistant City of Huntington Beach P, 0. Box 190 Huntington Beach, California 92648 Re: Huntington Central Park Dear Mr. Belsito: The above listed project was received in this office for review. It was circulated through various state agencies and the following comment was generated by the Department of Fish and Game. "Paragraph four (4) under this heading makes mention of the high value of a portion of the proposed park acquisition as a natural breeding area for waterfowl. In recognizing this value and its potential for enhancing the total benefits of the park to the public the applicant should take steps to ensure maintenance of these values during development of the park. Assistance related to this phase of park planning should be requested from the Department of Fish and Game, 107 South Broadway, Room 9012, Los Angeles 90012. Although no State funding is being sought, the recognition of State resource values noted above indicates that coordination with at least the State Department of Fish and Game is appro- priate. It would also appear that coordination with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wild- life might be advisable." If you desire more information regarding this comment, please contact Mr. Chester M. Hart, Chief, Water Projects Branch, Department of Fish and Game, 1416 Ninth Street, Sacramento, 95814.
