Home My WebLink About8.1 Parks and Recreation Master Plan AGENDA STATEMENT JOINT MEETING OF THE CtTY oF HERITAGE AND CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION AND DUBLIN PARKS AND COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION MEETING DATE: April 20, 2015 SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Master Plan Report by Paul McCreary, Parks and Community Services Director ATTACHMENTS: 1) Proposed Parks and Recreation Master Plan RECOMMENDATION: Receive report and recommend the City Council adopt the proposed Parks and Recreation Master Plan FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None DESCRIPTION: A new Parks and Recreation Master Plan has been prepared for adoption by the City Council. The Heritage and Cultural Arts Commission and Parks and Community Services Commission are being asked to recommend the City Council adopt the new Master Plan. The purpose of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan is to establish goals, standards, guiding policies, and action programs to guide the City of Dublin in the acquisition, development and management (operations and maintenance) of Dublin's park and recreation facilities through the ultimate build-out of the City in accordance with the General Plan. The Parks and Recreation Master Plan was originally prepared by David Gates and Associates and adopted by the City Council in July 1994, and was last updated in May 2006. It has been over 20 years since the original Master Plan was prepared. At that time the City was in the early stages of development in eastern Dublin and the Master Plan was geared toward a large expansion of the park system. Now the City is approaching build-out which changes how the City approaches planning for parks and recreation. Therefore, Staff has prepared a new Parks and Recreation Master Plan that is more reflective of current conditions than what was developed 20 years ago (Attachment 1). Staff will provide an overview of the proposed Master Plan and new park and facility standards at the meeting.

Historically, parlcs have played a inajor role in the formation of a succcssfiil ciry. Siilce the early twentieth century, parl:s have held a variery of ineanings to dif�erent groups of people at differenr times. "lo some, parlcs ar� for children with an ernphasis on playgrourids and ball fields.To another group, parlcs address the cultural needs of the communiry, providing theaters, muscums, art exhibits, and meeting facilities. And to others, the park sysrem is a way to pr�serve and enhancc the natural cnviron�nent, providing opportunities to interact with na�ture in a more passive, non-structured sctting. A successful park system shot.ild ineet all these ilceds and more. In rhe absrract, a park syste�n can be thought of as oiie o4' the organizing elcments of a ciry. Parks and trails represenr ari extended e�pression of the public realm that reaches out into the private fabric of the city. Thc parks �nd �ithering spaces havE: become the tlew Ainecican backyard. Th�. green space and visual amenities such as ��laygrounds, s��orts fie lds, trails, gardFns, and open spaces found within the park systern become an integral part of rhe ptiblic's perception of�he communiry. �h�is, the park system reflecrs a communiry's self image. A strong image thro�.lgl�r strong visual character is one ke�� component th�zt malces a communitv memorable. On� of the tnost i�nportanr functions of parks in suburban environments is to provide spaces for—and to encourage—social inceraction. "Ihe p�irlc s}'s�em can help to build unity by providing a place where the divergent �opulations and interests can interact with, learn from, and appreciare each other. A park can k�e a place wh�re seniors rneet �ind roddlc�:rs play, where the athlete and the arcist find a c,ommc�n ground and where social as well as E�hvsical n�cds arc mct. `Ihe purpose of rhis IVlasrer Plan is to identify the�vays in which the City inrends to build and maintain ��arlcs and faciliti�s rhat both enhance the positive image of the Ciry and meet rhe needs of the City into the future. „.,.. �`” �,i ? �-....�... �� `r�.., ��.d"§ ��,,,.<,� � ��: u ��F" � �.ac "11�e plcrpose of the 1''arks and Recreation Master Plan is to esta6lish goals, standards, guiding policies, and accion programs to guide thc Ciry of Dublin in thc acquisirion, dcvelopment and managemcnt (operations and maintenance) of Uublin's park a�lc� recrcatioii f��ciliries rhrough the ultimate build-out of the Ciry in accordance with thc C�eneral Plan.

['olicics �znd progra�ns are included that are flexible enough to �ccommodare new opportuniries and s}iil=ts it7 prioritics. �Ihe I�)ublin clirnate allo�vs for almost year-rotind use of the park facilities. ��Ihac fact, combined with the activc, recreatioi7-oriented Iifesryle of� the populatic�n, placcs a significant emphasis on the provision oF high- qualiry amenities �u�d a�nple recreational opporrunities for the �oinmunity. Over the past five years, the City has ex��erienced noticeable growth in sports and fitness activities taking place in parks and Eacilities. Additionally, sports seasons are becoming longer and new sports are becomin�, popular with residents. Nationally recognized staizdards for parlc and recreation facilities establish thresholds that ofren do not reflect the recreational demands of a specific communiry. The standards and policies set forth in this Master Plan, whilE recognizing national and pecr community standards, are unique to Dubliri. This Master Plan is a reflection of the Ciry of Dublin's commitment to ensuring a high qualiry of life for d1e communiry. Since d�e C;iry's incorpor<�ti�>r� in Februarj� 1982, the(.:iry's population llas increascd as both residents and businesses fo�ind rhe benefits of callir�� Dublin hoil�e. Dublin is locared approaimatel��350 miles nordl of Los Angeles anc{ 35 miles easc of San Francisco. Uublin is 14.59 square milcs in area. Dublin is located within the Tri-Valley region of the B�y Area, and is gencrally bounded by t�ie Ciry of San Ran�on to the north, unincorporated Castro Valley ro rhe wcst, th� Ciry of Pleasanrorl ro the soutli, and the Ciry of Liverinore ro the easr. Because ot this srrategic locarion at the intersection of two major freeways (Interstates 580 and 680), the City is a grcat place to live, �vc7rlc, and play. Uublin has become known for its high qua(iry of life in the areas of public sai'ery, exccllent cduca�ional opportutiities, aild abundant and diverse housing opportunitics. Dublin's new residents include more families with children, more young active adults, and an expanding senior population —all of whom are sceking qualiry recreational opportUnities. Open space planning� by other regional agencies plays a role in Dublin's pl<znning as �vell. Zl�ie Last Bay Re��ional Park District (�.BRPD) is actively seeking to complete a seglnent of the ridgeline trail corridor through Westecn Dublin. �Ihey have also developed "Guidelines for O��en Space Planning and Management," which could have a significant influence on the provision and design ofopen space in the Dublin area.'The"I'ri-Valley'Ii-ails Council and adjacenr comi7luriities support the development of a regional network oF rrails and bilccways utilizing rhe railroad righr-uf-way,Hood contiol chatlnels an�i eYisting bilceways thrc�ughout the area's communities. I�evelopmenr plans in San Ramon and Contra Costa Co�inry to the north and Livermore to the cast and Ple<�santon to thc south are proposii�g potential oper� space and trail connecrions, all of��hic6 could providc opportunities to lii-�k the various communities with a vasr recreatiunal ncr�voriz. 1 � � �� , �� . . ; SL Helena �. ;' "� -- SACRAMENT ; Santa �1 �' � Rosa � Elk � Dixan Grove �� Sebastopol � � � Rohnert � Ba Park Sonoma �� P i fie Vacaville � Btltkga Cotati Napa � � � � �o� Petaluma n� �� d r ld Suisun Ci1y � �� ' �� , Galt *': , �:� `�''�, �� Rio , �� - � � � ,, ° . � �� Vista . �`� � �� Ualle�o � � � � �> � �� Lodi � Novato � �� Bemsia �� °`�, ^��.�� r•'' ��i�y' ` � �i�� ,�y� �� ;�. „r `�<<� r ,�, j 4��v,"' : ' �'"'�'vpy��'' �^`�`.

'I�he Parl<s arid Rec:re<:ition Masrer Plarl was origitially prepared by David Gares arid Associates and adopred by the C:iry Couiicil in J�_ily 19)4. "�Ihe iiiformatioi� for the Master Plan was garherec� through a series of public meetings, inrecvicws, sire visits, joint srudy� sessions, and the careful ceview of local ageticy policy docunlents. Additionally, rher� ��as a Stecxing CotYlmitree conlposed of r�presentativ�s of C;iry Commissions and spccial recrcation i�lterest groups such as little league (baseball), soccer, and senior groups. Through mectings with che Steerin;Committee, Stat�and the consultancs iclentified and evaluated various recreation standards and parlc site alternatives. Throtigh a process of demand assessment> park land requirement allocation verification, and alternativc site testing, the hnal Park and Recreation M�ster Plan emerged. In March 2004, the Master Plan was updated with the goal of revisiting the assumptions that were used in the original document to ensure that they wece still realistic and that adequatc park and recrearion facilities were available for t}ie current and future population of rhe City. "Ihis update took ii7to accounr updated population projectio�ls and the most current land use assumptions for ultim:�te build-out iii accordance with the General Plan. "lhe March 2004 update anricipated a 5.3-acre parkl��nd deficir at buil��l-ouc of rhe Ciry and identif ed the need to sc:lect and d�:si�nate sit�s for new �arks to alleviate the deficit.

Predicting Dublin's Future Population In 2014, the C;alifornia Department of Finance's 2014 population data estimated that Dublin 6ad approximately 48,000 residents (excluding group quareers). Ttle goals, policies and standards adopted in the 200G Master Plan Update asswned a build-out population of 59,900. Since 2006, two key popLtlation factors changed, which resulted in the expected �opularion of Dublin ar build-out of the General Plan to increase to 76,000. 7-his change in population forccastiilb is due to: 1. 17ie average densiry per unit uscd to calculare the population was amended in the General Plan. Instead of differei�t populacion figures assumec� for dif�erenr residential densities, rhe Ciry now uses a blended figure of 2.? persons per residenrial unit, whic:h was based on the 2010 Censtzs figures rhar showed this as Dublin's averag� household size. 1he means of calculatirig pt.rsons prr househ<�ld contrik�tited to population forecasts rhat were hi�hcr than previously predicted. 2.

'Il�e l:ast Ba�� Rc�;ii>nal Parl: Disrricr (EI�RPC)) has overlapping jitrisdicrion in the Master Plan Study Area. EBRPD is stri��ing �o prc�vidc regional trail c:onii�ctions wirh adequate corridor widths and btii�ers. They value thc preservation of t�he natural and rural essence of tl�ie undeveloped portions of the communiry. These natural open spaccs are an important part of Di�blin's characrer. 7here ar��also op��or�uniti�s to makc�rail connections wich the adjacent comrrit�nities of�San Rarnon and Plcasantori and with other trail faciliries operated by the East Bay Regional Park Districr and the Livermore Area Recrcation alld Parlc District Trails that follow crcek a��d drainage channcls may provide opportunities for new connections. Along rhe Union Pacific/So�_irhern Pacific Railroad righr-of-way, rhe Iron Horse Trail has been developed as a regional faciliry, lii�king cities in Contra Costa Counry, Dublin, �che Dublir�/Pleasanton B�IZT station, and beyond into Pleasantc�n. Existing Resources 'Il�ere are nur�lerous creeks and drainage channels throughout. the Srudy Area which provide opportuniries to �evelop creelc-side trails. 1-he contiriuous connections these creeks and drainage channels provide are especially critical in the developed areas of Di.iblin. In 2Q13, the City acquired 12S acres of land adjacenr ro South San Ramon Cceck and thc Icon Horse"I'rail betwcen Amador Vallcy I3oulcvard and the ciry limit with San Ratnon to tl��e north. This fand�vill be used for rhe future °Iron Horse Nature Park and Open Space," a community pack wirh a focus on crc°aring passive recreational amcnities aud restoring open space areas to natural conditiocls. (;urrently there arc t��iir inajor pedestrian/bikcways in Dublin: along San Ramo❑ Road, along Dougherry Road, the regional-servin�;Iron Horse�Ti�ail, r6e AlaiT�o Creelc I�rail, and Alan10 Canal.'I�hese paths are separated From the ,, , ,, � ,�� : I , � �.' . ... �.., ,-. ' A �� street and are well utilized by the local comn�uniry. Additional open space trails include the Martin Canyon Creek Trail and nc�'I'assajara Cr�elc"I rail. These paths and rrails are the foundation for Dublin's separated pedestriati and bicycle network. "1he D�iblin t_:ivic Ceprer complex includes rhe Ciry Hall, rhe Police Faciliry, and a plaza area to accommodate outdoor fcstivals and civic evcnts, and an adjacent Puhlic Safery Complex partially serving Alameda Counry Firc. A ncw I,ibra�y w�is completed in Spring 2003, which provic�es additional communiry mcering and function spaces and completc:s rhe Civic Cenrer Cornplex. �I7zc adjacent Sports Grc�unds contain n�iany of the comperitive spe>rts fiel�is in I�ubliti. Additiunal sports fields are at E:merald Glen Park, FalLon Sports Park, and the Ciry has �vorked coopexati��clr��irh the Du61in lJnified Sc}lool District ro lapgrade e�xisting sc}iool yard f�cilicies to provide additional sports fielas for rhe a��mmunity. "Ihe hist�rical herirage of rhe Dublin communiry has been preserved by rhe Ciry wirh help from the Dublin Historic�l Preservation Association arid t�ie Amador/Livermore Valley Historical Society. The Old Murray School House and St. Raymond's Chucch, which were acquired by the Ciry, are locatcd adjacent to the Dublin Pioneer Cemetery. This historic site, wliich is locared near powntown Dublin, has provided che community with a special place to preserve and celebrate local history. 'Ihe recently-expanded Historic Park coinplements tkie existing Heritage Center by providing additional facilities for the programs rhat already exist there and by providing additional parkland foc the comn-�unity. '1'he Downtowri Dublin Specific Plan, adopted by the Ciry Council in 2011, aims to facilitate the creation of a vibrant arid dynamic commercial and mixcd-usc cenrer that provides a wide array of opportuniries for shopping, s�rviccs, dining, working, livir�g and entertainment in a pcdestrian-friendlv and aesthctically pleasing setting that �zrn-acts borh 1<�cal ancl rc:�ional iesidcnrs., "lhe size and locarion of I�ownrown Dublin of�ers rhe opportunit�� ro crr.�re ��cc�ssible �7ublic spac�s and a central ga�herin�; place for civic celebrations and activities rhat take place in t}1e Downrow�n. �Il�ie Spec:iEic Plan Eo�uses on inr��rating desigil teatures such as monuments, sigriage and public plazas with ii�lpro��ements tu landscaping, green spaccs and wic�cr sidewalks to uni�y the predominantly retail area. Widzin the cxistir�g ciry liirlits, the pocential for tizrth�r expansion of parl< and recreation facilitics is cxtrcmcly limited. `Ihe 1986 Parks Masrer Plan Report and subsequent 19)0 Sports Ground Master Plan Report and School Facilitics Plan illustrate maximum utilization of existi�lg park sites and joint use of several school play yards to mcct th�° currcnr�i�mands ot�hc con�imunity. �ihus, th� wcight of providing parlc land and Facilitics for che future growth falls rnaii�l}� upon the undevcloped wcsr anc{ east portions of the community, althoubh there may be somc o�porrunities in the primary planning area as properties redevelop. '1'l�e easrern porric�n e�f Dublin is cl�iaracterized by rolling grass lands divided into three canyons. In this area, the �entle topography and proposed roadway system have been able to accoinmodatc larger Comnniniry Parlc facilities sttch as Einerald Glen Park and Fallon Sports Park as well as several smaller Neighborhood Parks. 7he creeks and swales have provided natural opportunities for open space linl�ages berween parks. 'Il1e�-vesteri�� porcion of Dublin is characterized by se�eep topo�rap�iy and a dense cover of�oak woodland. The steep terraiil liinits the opportuniries for large active communiry recreation facilities, although have been opporrunities ro locare and devclop Neighborhood Parks such as Schaefer Ranch. Zhe natural fearures of rhe area warrant protcction throt.igh thc development of passive recreation areas and regional trail con��ections such as to Martin Canyon Crccic. Currently, thc Citv of Dubli�l's Subdivision Ordinance requires rhe dedic��tion of 5-acres of park land for every 1,000 p�rsons.

At fitll build- our ot the Cin� in 2040 as envisioned bv the General Plar�, the resic{ent population is expected to be 76,000. Thc population �rowrli since 1982 can be attribured to the annexation and developmenr of rhe Eastern Dublin Specific Pla�� area, the Schaefc��r R��nc:h General �Plan Area, new development planned for in the Dublin C;rossing Planning Area, additional devc:lopinent plar�ned in the Downtown Diiblin Specific Plan area, and build-out of approved developments and infill growth including residential areas around the City's two BATZI' srations. "�Ihis projecred in�:rease over the next twenty-five ycars will create demand for additional recreational facilities and prograrns. Population Structure Accoi�ding to the 2010 U.S. Census, Dublin's largest populazion segment is represented by adults aged 25 to 44. "Iliis group statisticilly representing over 38%of the City's population in any given year and incltzdes young adults and families as well as single adults and co�tples without children. Individuals and families in this category have the mosr diverse needs in rernls of recreation facilities aild available programs based on age and intcrest. Statiseically, it is cxpecrcd that dual-employed families with children will continue rhe nationwidc growth trend in thc Dublin area. 'Ihis growth will irnpacr c1�e need for increased day care services for young children as well as heightened dcoland for after-school programs for school-a�,ed youcll.

Assessment ot riecd, however, is also one of the n-�ost dif�icult tasks because many variables will influence public recreation parricipa�iot7 and den�iand. Addirionall��, in t}le case of Dublitl, a portion of the popularion being planned for does not y°�t reside ii� rhe Ciry. Ic is, therefoi�e,nec�ssary to make�rojecrions and assumptions rcgarding the characreristics and preferenccs ot the furlire population. Underestimaring the fi�ture need c�in result in overutilization of facilities whereas overestimating the need can also result in expendinires for facilities that are not required. The Master Plan does, however, provide Rexibiliry to modify the rypes of Eacilities and/or the priority for implementarion. This will allow the Ciry to develop facilities in a sequence tl�at matches the recreation demand of the new residents. Zhe original Master Plan docuinent scudied the demand for recrearion facilities and activities and developed a quantifiable srarement of need based on a process that includecl six sreps. Zhey were: 1. An analysis of rrends in recreation participation 2. A stuciy of who prescutly provides rccreation service in Dublin 3. An analysis of who etirrenrly pai-eicipares in recreation 4. Results of public ��orkshop mcetings 5. �ll�e de��elopmenr of park and facility standacds G. 1�.lcntification c�f p;arl. ancl fa�ili�y nerds F:ach i��cthod is dc�crik�>cc� in morc d�xail b�lo��. Participation Ratios Parricipation rarios are �uidcs by which raciliries and park arreage rec�uired ro meet population demand is quantified. By- attaching a standard to a po��ulation variable, the future park and faciliry needs of the Ciry of Dublin are forccast based on p��pulariorl growrh. 'The most recogilized standards used for mtznicipal planning are rhose devclo��ed by tli� Na�ional Recreation and Parlcs Association (NRPA). These are only one facet to consider when escablishing standards foc Dublin. User Trend Analysis Facility demand esrirnates are developed by extrapolating historical use statistics for each facility.This meThodology prodiices reasonably accurate data because it reflects specific communiry use. However, the u�end analysis merhodology can be influenced by local condirions or current trends in recrearion interest. As an example, if one charts tenllis playing over the last 20 years, a cycle of interest and level of play emerges. Also, opecating conditions such as qua(iry of the courts, their location, usec fees and hours of operation can impact the level of use. Actual user data From 2014 was evaluated in preparing this master plan. Public Input Inpur from nc� �;eneral public is a�7othcr med�iod ot ass�ssing comm�iniry needs. Ca�ition is required in relying sc�lelv e�n diis, he��vev�r. sin�� sp�cial inr�rest gruu��s can dominate th� process ancl may nor reflect the broader eornrnuniry inceresr. In 2008 the City conducted an intci7sive necds assessinent to preparc t�ie Department Strategic Plan. Zlic process included input frorn over I,000 residents. Methods included a statistically valid mail-in survey, online stirvey, bcus groups and public workshops. In 2012 the Ciry cotzducted another intensive needs assessrnent � i' � ��. ��'�' ('!<. �'' � as an �_ip<�<�re r�� thc Strarcgic L'lan. �ll�ie dara from rhose snidies was uscd to prcpare this upaarc to the Masrer Plan. Standards Definitions Anorh�r rnrans of mcasi.irin�,n�cd is ro dcv�lop a standard and mc:asure that standard against the existing inventory. Kecreation tirandards are guides b�� which Dublin car� estimate in quantifiable terrns the number of acres and squar� feet of facilities r�quired to tneer recreation demand. By attaching the scandai-d to a populatioti variable, i� is possible ro forecas� futurc necds as the population grows. Stand�lyds arc important for � number of reasons including: • Standards can be an expression of minimum acccptable f<�cilities and areas.They can 1�e looked upon as goals. • A standacd is a guideline to determine land requirements for various rypes of park and recreation facilities. • Standards are a basis for relating recreation needs to spatial analysis within a community-wide system of park and open space areas. As part of the current upd��te to the Master Plan, analysis was done on die curreut standard being provided based on the existing faciliry inventory and current population. Additionally the occupancy rares of facilicics during peak high-dcmand periods were analyzed to derermine if the cUrrent standards are meering community needs or need eorrectioi� ro avoid a stirplus or deficit of faciliries ar build-out. � .. � l. � � t)., iiil-�, i,��t�`.f � � .i'�� ..( , ...1�r�, `il "� , l::j' E�_... - '� .Y ��.., _, f 3 r t,� c:, , : : ",; � �`, ,.. {y,., � -,.

When dt�v�lopin�; tl�c• �>ri�;inal Master Plan, the City worked with the Dublin Unified School District ro up�;rade school faciliri�s in rhe Primary Planni�lg Area co add to tlre existing pack and sports fielci inventory and to expand existing E��rogr,zms to h�tt�r scrv�: the interest and neecis ot the existing populatioi�. Diiblin, lil<c all�l��ri-Valley communities, has a vcry l�igh demand for ocganized sports pro�rams. Again, the faciliry iniproverY�ents at the schools, the irnplernenratioi� of the S��orrs Ground Masrer Plan, and rhe newer sports fields at F.inerald Glen Pack and Fallon Sports Park, will meet most of tlie existing demanci. This Master Plan update addresses the program and faciliry needs of the anticipated future population growth.The development standards for new parks and facilities will provide for qualiry parks, trails, sports fields and recreation and cultural facilities needed at build-out in a manner that is fiscally sustainable to operate and maintain. The previous Parks and Recreation MasCer Plan only referred to "Commuriity Parks." Based on commuriity input �his Master Plan divides this category into two different rypes: Active and NatLiral: Active Community Park (new category) �'�cti�� C:<>mmunitv Parl:s oHer a varietti c>f recreational o}�purt�inities that attract a wide rangc of local �ge groups an�1 itltcresrs. �I�hev feat�irt: large oE�en spacc at�eas, unique riatural and cultural areas as �vell as group picnic areas, bic�rcli��g and hilcing rrails> sporrs fields and cotirts, aquatics tacilities, corrimunity cenrer or other unique features or faciliries. ilctive°C;o�Y�munir�� Parks are��n�rally 10+ acres in siu. E:xamples of Active Communiry Parks inelude Emcrald Gl�n ['arl<, I)ublin Spor�s ��rounds, Fallon Sporrs pai-k, and the Dublin I-Iistocic Park. Natural Community Park (new category) Natural Communiry Parks of�er a mix of quieter, passive uses such as trails and outlook areas with a few nodes of�nore active uses such as a n�iture interpretive �rca, picnicking sites, a communiry and/or children's garden, or orher low-intensir�� uses. ��I�here are no Nar�u-al Cornmuniry Parlcs thar are already developed in Dublin, biit the Iron Horse Nature Parlc and Open Space is planned for a site in rhe Primary Planning Area. "T�11e other parlc t�ypes in Dublin incl�.ide: Neighborhood Park Neighborhood Parks are designed to meet rhe local residents' recreational needs while reflecting the unique characrer of each neighborhood. They rypically feature s�aces for relaxation, pracrice fields (not for competitive use), open miilti-use areas, playgrounds, and unlit sports courts (e.g. baslcetball, tennis, bocce). Neighborhood Parks are generally around five-acres in size. F,samples of Neighborhood Parks are Kolb Park, Schaefer Ranch Park, and Positano Nills Park. Ne+ghborhood Square Nei�hborhood Sqiiares of�er speci��lized faciliries thar serve a concentrated or limited population or special interesr �;roup such as ��otrng chi(dreil, senior citizens, or in some cases, dogs ancl their owiiers. 1he Neighborhood Square is a scal�d-down version of rhe Ncighborhoc�d P��rk, �vith an averabc size of two acres and located in high densiry rrsidcncial urban areas �-vhcre a green pocket is thc central focus of the neighborhood. Exatnples of Neighborhood Squares inclucic Piazza Sorrcnro and Devancy Squarc.

"I1ie Recreatioii Needs Assessment also identified several rriajor buildirigs for iriclusion in che Master Plan. "Iliese f�cilities have signihcant costs assoc�iated wirh both the consrrucrion and annual operation and maintenance. On �he ather hand, du� co th� dernarld for faciliries and programs these buildings cazl of�er, th�re can be revenuc generatea w ot}set a portion of the o�erating custs. A discussion of each of�the major facilizies follows. Community Facilities D�iririg peak demand titnes, there is rhe need for space for rhe public to meet for social gatherings such as weddings, familv reunions, bauquets, fund raising events; nci�hborhood �neetings; or�;�nizational meetings; and clubs, sucl� as Girl aiid Boy Scouts, gardening clubs, ete. Through the proaision of multi-use space, a myriad of activities can also be accommodated. T}�ese uses can inclttde a preschool, crafts classes, fimess programs, dance, coolcing, and a place for youth to "11ang-out" as well as participate in activities and games. Indoor Recreation Center ��I}ie klecreation Needs Assessmc:nr, complered i�i 2005 and approved by [he Ciry Council, indicated thar the demand exists for a multi-purE�ose: rec:rearion ce�7ter. �Io meet eoinmuniry demaiids and to g�nerate suf�'icient rc�venue ro uf��se� oper��ting cos�s, rhe C;enrer must of��er a wide ran;e of activities and facilities.

High q�zaliry acrobics and danc� studio Senior Center When the study was coinpleted, thcre was dernand for an enhanced Senior Ce��rer designed solely to serve the needs of Dublids mature adult communiry. Approxirnately 7.3% of the population is 65 years or older. Dublin's Senior Cenrer was replaced in 2005 witli a state-of-the-art faciliry tl�at meets the programming needs of today's active senior �opulatiorl. Aquatic Facility When the srudy was complered, therc was dernand for a {'ull-scalc communiry pool faciliry, complere with an indoor pool with lanes for competitive and recceational swimming, teaching bays for swim lessons, lap swimming ;�nd water exercise and firness progran�s, an c��_itdoor sport pool for�ompetitive swimming and water polo.

National Parl< Standard Comparison `lhe National Recreation and Parlc Association (NRPA) published standards in 19?0 rhar have becn widely used since being adopted. In I�)79, NRPA developed a task force that worked three years to revise and update park and rea�eation standards. Published in 1983, tlle report tided "Recreation, Park and Open Space Standards and Guidelines", represenred the consensus on spacc anc� faciliry staudards at the national lcvel at the timc. In rccent years municipalitics hav� started to usc other �nethods to establish standards, realizing that dze NRPA standards are more of a one-size-fits-all approach, and do not take into account the unique demands of individual re�;ions and comm�inities.

While those facilities arc grcat arncnities for tlic cominu�iiry, they are not coulltcd as parkland,whercas a trail that is impr�ved to rhe standards contained within this Master Plan and dedicated to public use can be considered parkland. 'lhe rypes of trails th.at have standards in this Masrer Plan include: Parkway Tr�il: Paved p��th suitable for bicycles and pedestrians which is physically separated from the streer and not a part of the road section. Crccicside 1i-ail: P�ived trails along a-eelcs for pedestrian and potcntial bicycle use. Open Spacc TraiL Unpaved trails for equestrian �nd hikiug use. Hilcers, joggers and srrollers make tip the majority of trail users. 'Ihis gcolzp narurally� preFers ro �ise rrails thar are safe, that provide good footing and that are routed through interesting landscape with attainable destination points and offer soine amenities along the way such as benches �nd rest areas. Pedestrians will use all of the trail rypes noted above. Cyclists typically use rhe Parkway aild Creekside Trails. Recrcational cyclisrs rypically prefer trails which have sr�ioorh surfaces (preferably paved) and which are separated from orher types of traf�ic. Often trav�ling a distance of�25 iniles on an outing, ehe serious rccreational ryclist prefcrs trails with sweeping culves, good visibiliry, and a minimum oFcross srrcets.

Zhe final design of rhe trail must accominodare appropriarc mainrena�ICe. • Wkiere possible, creelc trails should be located at top of bank. Becatase thes� areas arc flat, grading is kept to a minimum and existing vegecation can be preserved. Erosion and banlc stabilization problems are also rninirnized. Access to and from sereets and accESS by disabled persons is gcnerally easier wl�en the trail is locaced at the top of bank. • Wher� creek trails must be located on slopes, a bench will have to be cut into the slope ro provide a Hat platform for rhe trail. The cuc shotild be minimized to preserve as much native vegetation as possible. • Gcnerally, tkie trail should be located�s high above� the creck as possible. Ease of access to and from tkie street and by disabled persons should be considered when locating a trail on a slope. • Provid� rest areas and overloo(�s with educational signa�,e to enhai�ce enjoynlent� of creek area. • Special wile�life habitat arcas sliould be prorected from access. �-�Iabitat restoration and creek revcgetation shottld occur in dcgraded creek �ireas. • Where e recks are d�epl}r incised, railing<>r fenci�ib may be necessary to prevenr access ro the creek. Open Space Trail Design Open space trails, at a rnini�num, may be narrow corridors tl�iat provide critical linkage to important facilities. Howe��er, at l�est, oE�en space trail corriciors may incorporare manv hundreds of acres of significant open space and provide �he public �vith u��ique o�portunities to enjoy the natucal environment between developed areas. Frequently, �r�iils in open space areas follow old jeep roads or tire roads. Tf�e ideal alignme��r will "fit�" rhe n-ail to the ground and will af�ord users the best views from the trail as well as follow the topography of che land. • Long, straight stretches should be avoided as well as excessive switch backs. • Avoid areas with high soil erosion> high fire hazard or unstable slopes. • Where possible, route rrails away from residences in order to mainrain privacy. • Esr��blish trail cights-of-way that are wide enough t�>accommodare the designated uses. For single or doub(e- usc trails that permit hiking and/or equestrian use, provide a miniinum right-of-way width of 20 feet. Mulriple-tise rrails that perrnit lliking, equestrian and bicycle use, provide a minimum right-of-way widrh of�0 to 4p feet.

B��sed on a pr��jecrcd service popul:acion of 7C>000 at builcl-out, a 380-aa-e park systein is required based on providin�, � acres<�f parlclaud per 1,000 residents, which has been �he Ci�y srandard since che Master Plan was first dcv�lop�d. As th� cxisrin�, parl�systcm (irlcluding decded, but undeveloped, parkland) consists of approximarely 278 acres (including five school parlc sires in the Primary Pla7lning Area), this plan calls for th� acquisition of an addiric�nal l 02 acres c�f parkland. The total park acreage currently planned for che eastern and western growth areas in �he General Plan, combined wi�h tlie existiirg park acreage anticipates a deficir of approximately I6 acres at build-out of the City. Consequenrly it will be necessary ro pursue additional oppoctunities for parkland acquisition as th� City ceaches its ultimate population. Since there is little undeveloped and entided la��d remaining in the Ciry limits, the Ciry will need to consider alternative parkland dedication standards to meet the needs of existing and future residents. '�lliis plan, corrlbined with the Ciry's recenrly updated Pedesrriar� and Bicycle Master Plan, also provides for a network of park trails, bikeways, staging �reas atld open space tha� will linlc rhe parks into a communiry-wide system. 'Ihis system will serve to visually link rhe new eastern and westc�rn gro�vth areas into a visually unified ciry. Since tl�e ad��tion ot the latest Park and 'Recreation Master Plan (updated in 200�), the costs to operate a�id maintain parks and faciliries has increased si�ni6cantly. �Therefore the updared goals and policies in this Masrer Plan update are foci_ised on balancing th� dernands wie�i the need to develop a fiscally-sustainable park syster�i. �the C:irv will plan to meet the future parlcland needs usina rhe follo��ing srracegies: • �11�e acqiiisirion and cic:��elopment�of commi_init��and neighborhood park faciliries in the yer-to-be-developed portions ot�nc� Ciry; • '�Ihe a�:c�uisirion �xnd developmc:nt of passive, un-programmed, nature parks as part of the communiry park standacd; a��d • The assumprion that rhe City of Dublin will urilize all available and appropriate school properry in eastern Dublin (as has been d��ne in the primary planning area) to allow for park acquisitioil while minirnizi�ig f�uture operation and maintenance costs. : ., � � , ��, � �.� � „ ,. f, ��f„ �i � f�<. riC f �.., ��i j"� .�,!t �� 1� _ �v , _, ,� `Ih� gili�lin� principlcs ��n whicli I)ublin has built rrs Parlc and Kecrearion �Vlaster Plan are: • Meecing com�nunitv-widc recr�ation rieeds; • Meeting local ncighborhood recreation needs; • I'rovidi�lg ope�i space areas which prorec� the existin� natural charactec of the�rea; and • Esriblishin�, linkages (trails, streets, bik�ways) which unite the park systein into a cohesive whole. E.ach of nc�se principles has been incorporated into an overall plan,with the Guiding Policies and Action Programs outlined bclow: GOAL1: Provide for a high-quality and diversified park system to meet the recreational needs and quality of life goals of existing and future residents of Dublin. Guiding Policies 1.1 Ensure a minimum standard of 5.0 acres of public park per 1,000 residents with tlle following ratios: A. Establish a comm�init�� park srandard of 3.2 acres for every 1,OOQ residents. 711e �ommuniry park standards shall be further divided as follows: ,Al. 2.8 acres tor Active Co«�muniry Parks on usablc aceeage that is l�vel land thar can be utilized for ac tive farilities (i.�:. ball fields, builciings, cour�s, eu.). AZ. 0.4 acres �or Naniral Commiinitv Parl:s. 13. Esrablish a Neighborhood 1'<Xrlc standard of 1.8 acre for c:v�cy I,000 residents. Ncigliborhood Parks should be dispersed throughout tl�e comtnunity: Included in this standard are Neigl�borhood Squares and I:)uwntown Plazas. �Ihe parlcs shoul�i be designed and sitc:d to providc a ncighborhood identiry and social focus a�1d be on level land dlar can be urilized for active recreational facilities. 1.2 Use d�e following crireria when considering the suitabiliry of potential park sites: • Accessibiliry of the sitc to rhe toral Dublin communiry. Avoid sites that are reinoved from multi-modal circularion corridors; • Proximiry to other p�iblic facilities such as schools; • Relationship to rlatural features (creeks, Icnolls, o�en space). �X�hcre possible, parlc sites should be selected to relate to natural features such as creeks or open space; • Visual presence (visibility from major roadways).The park s5�stem is an integral part of the communiry's image thus, the �iew of rccreation facilities f�rom roadways is critical not only to eticourage use but to enhance the"lool<"oFrl��e City.
