DESCRIPTION: The Schaefer Ranch development Vesting Tentative Map (VTM)
approved by the City in 1998 included two neighborhood parks for a combined total of 10.25 acres. The
"Sports Park" was 6.75 acres and the "Leisure Park was 3.5 acres. Condition 120 of the VTM requires the
developer to dedicate 10.25 acres of park land to the City and that the developer is required to design and
construct the park in accordance with the neighborhood park standards as contained in the City's Parks
and Recreation Master Plan. The final design of the park shall be approved by the City. The Condition
also discusses timing for dedication and construction of the parks (the "Sports Park" shall be completed
within one year of the issuance of the first building permit for Phase I of the project and the "Leisure
Park" shall be completed within one year of the issuance of the first building permit for the Phase that is
in closest proximity to the park.)
The proposed Lot Reconfiguration Concept that was approved by the City Council in December 2004
combines the park acreage into one park site (Attachment 1). Because there are no longer two parks, the
timing outlined in Condition 120 of the VTM is no longer applicable. In order to change the Condition, it
is necessary to enter into an Improvement Agreement with the Developer prior to approval of the final
map (anticipated by December 2006). This requires that the Developer design the park for City Council
approval and provide a surety bond to secure the construction of the park at a later date.

ITEM NO.
\:)
The Developer's design consultant, Nuvis Landscape Architecture has prepared two conceptual park
designs for review by the City Council. The proposed park site is approximately 10.25 acres with 6.6
acres of flat usable park land. The site sits on a knoll which is relatively flat on all but the south east
comer which has a slope that reaches to 35 feet in height. Both options include picnic areas, walking
paths, benches and terraced grass seating.
Option 1: As shown in Attachment 2, this design places the play area and hard courts together toward the
east side of the site, maintains the large grass area in the center and has a formalized entry at the primary
intersection. Across the street on the west side of the park the plan proposes locating several horseshoe
pits and a picnic area.
Option 2: As shown in Attachment 3, this design places the play area and main entry plaza at the primary
intersection of the park with a large grass area in the center and hard court facilities towards the east side
of the site. Across the street on the west side of the park the plan proposes locating a basketball court and
a plcmc area.
The two options were presented to the Parks and Community Services Commission on September 18,
2006. At that time the Commission made several comments regarding the placement of proposed park
uses adjacent to residences. They also discussed the option to leave some flexibility in the design of the
hard court areas to allow for input from the residents once the development has been built. Based on this
discussion the Commission voted to recommend Option 2 to the City Council. As mentioned previously,
the developer is required to provide to the City a surety bond to secure construction of the park. The
surety bond is based on the estimated cost of the improvements per the approved conceptual design.
Because of this, it is not possible to change the design at a later date once the City has selected the
preferred conceptual design.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council receive the report from Staff
and the Consultant, receive public comments and select the preferred conceptual design. Staff will return
at a future meeting with the proposed Improvement Agreement that will address the timing and budget for
the parks construction based on the preferred conceptual design of the Council.
