J.R.

Summary/Background:

Each fiscal year, the Council considers a Resolution to place assessments on the property tax roll for collection. The total parcels and amounts requested are preliminary until the final filing date of August 11, 2025, with the County of Tulare. The placing of special assessments on the Tulare County property tax roll is an annual process which allows the City to collect fees for the LLMAD’s.

The following is a description and the preliminary amounts expected to be placed on the tax roll in fiscal year 2025/26 for the twelve LLMAD’s:

I. With proposed increases - Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Assessment Districts (LLMADs): 602 Parcels totaling $106,024.11
II. With no increase - Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Assessment Districts (LLMADs):
602 Parcels totaling $104,394.24
The City has formed fourteen Landscape and Lighting districts since 1990 as a part of the approval of various subdivisions for the purpose of maintaining the landscaping and lighting in common areas. In each district, the City manages the maintenance of the turf, shrubs, trees, irrigation systems, sidewalks, and walls. Each parcel within each district is assessed according to the benefit it receives from the services and improvements. Each fiscal year the City is required by the rules for the assessment districts to do a cost accounting of the assessments for the upcoming year.

An Engineer’s Report for each district has been prepared based upon the actual revenue/expense for 2024/25 and projected revenue/expense for 2025/26. Minor nonsubstantive changes may be made prior to final submission to the County for recording. These assessments are based upon the Council’s previously approved tiered system. This public hearing is for the proposed assessments on the fourteen districts as follows:

If the proposed increase was approved:
• There are seven (7) districts (Nos. 04-02; 05-01; 05-02; 06-01; 08-01; 97-01 and 98-01) for which the recommendation is a 3% increase in assessment per the allowable formation limits.
• Country View Estates No.1/County View Estates No.2/ Awbrey Estates (91-01A), assessment amount is recommended to increase by 10% per the allowable formation limits previously approved.
• Wildrose Estates No. 1 (91-01B) assessment amount shall remain the same since the district did not previously pass an allowable annual assessment increase. All other districts will have no increase due to a positive fund balance.

If the proposed increase was not approved:

July 22, 2025 Regular Meeting of the Exeter City Council

Page 340 ends

• All fourteen districts will not have an increase over what is currently approved for each district.

Although City staff manages maintenance of the common areas in each LLMAD, the full financial responsibility is with the property owners. Funding for each LLMAD comes directly from property owners through special assessments that were approved by owners in each district. Each annual update reviews the costs from the previous year and adjusts fees as may be necessary to cover costs of maintenance as approved by the property owners. After preparation by staff and certified by the City Engineer, 2025/26 LLMADs Engineer’s Reports have been finalized for review by City Council (with minor non-substantive changes prior to final submission).

Next Steps:

Subsequent to Council action, City Staff deliver assessment information to the County Assessor's office. The assessments listed today will be added to the County's assessment rolls in August and the City would receive (from the County) monies from the two normal semi-annual property tax collections in December and April to pay the expense of providing the LLMAD’s maintenance.

Fiscal Impact:

This action will result in a proposed collection of $106,024.11 if an increase was approved or a collection of $104,394.24 in Landscape and Lighting Maintenance Districts Assessments if increase is not approved. If these assessments are not collected through tax collections the General Fund and Landscape and Lighting District Fund would be severely impacted financially and could potentially incur an increase in costs due to additional fees and charges for collections on the accounts.

Prior Council/Board Actions:

Previous years approvals for assessments.

Attachments:
• Attachment “A” - Resolution 2025-29 certifying the process to the County of Tulare with proposed increase
• Attachment “A” - Resolution 2025-30 certifying the process to the County of Tulare for no increase
Recommended motion to be made by the City Council:

I move to adopt Resolution 2025- , A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Exeter certifying the process to place this Special Assessment on the Tulare County secured property tax roll as presented.

occupy the frontage of Vine Street to a depth of 110 feet and will extend eastward from a proposed 4-acre park in the Fugate Subdivision.

Summary:

The applicant, San Joaquin Homes, is seeking approval of the above-described amendments to match a modified tentative subdivision map that was approved by the Exeter City Council in 2006. Recently, San Joaquin Homes has taken over the Fugate project and has requested a modification in the location of multi-family residential development from parcels that front onto the proposed park/basin to lots that front onto Vine Street. Originally, the Fugate Subdivision contained 13 multi-family residential lots. Under the San Joaquin Homes map this has been reduced to 12 lots (see map below).

The number of single-family residential lots has remained relatively the same, as has the circulation layout and the location of the park/pond, which is now larger under this map than the one approved in 2006. Under the new subdivision design a trail system has also been added to the proposed subdivision (see below).

July 22, 2025 Regular Meeting of the Exeter City Council

Page 347 ends

Once these amendments are approved by the City Council, San Joaquin Homes intends to file a final subdivision map. In addition to constructing the subdivision consistent with the final subdivision map, the construction of the residential dwellings will need to comply with the conditions of the Planned Unit Development overlay zone. These conditions are as follows:

1. The applicant shall submit elevation drawings and plot plans for (1) residential units that will be constructed on corner lots, (2) residential units that will have alley-loaded garages, and (3) examples of other dwelling units that will be constructed throughout the project. These drawings and plot plans shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission prior to the applicant securing building permits.

2. Multi-family development that will be constructed on the subject property shall be required to undergo site plan review, consistent with the Exeter Zoning Ordinance. Said development will also be required to undergo architectural review.

3. Alley-loaded lots, corner lots and lots smaller than 6,000 square feet shall be allowed to deviate from the front, rear and side yard setback standards of the R-1-6 zone district, subject to approval of the city planner.

4. Residential dwellings that have garages that front onto a public street shall be designed so that the garage is generally 10 feet behind the face of the dwelling unit, however, the PUD can allow for variation, ranging from the face of house being even with the garage to setting the garage 10 feet behind the face of the house. Furthermore, all dwelling units shall be encouraged to contain useable porches on the front of the house which are five feet or wider.

As mentioned above, prior to any home construction the Planning Commission will need to review the home elevations mentioned above.

Applicant:

San Joaquin Homes
Visalia, Ca. 93291
Location:

The northeast corner of the extension of Elberta Road and Vine Street in Exeter. APN 138-130- 037.

A redesignation of approximately 1.67 acres from low density residential to high density residential and a reclassification from the R-1-6 (single family residential, one unit 6,000 square feet) PUD (planned unit development) overlay district to the RM-3 (multi-family residential, one unit per 3,000 square feet) district. The RM-3 district will occupy the frontage of Vine Street to a depth of 110 feet and will extend eastward from a proposed 4-acre park in the Fugate Subdivision.

Request:

Amendments to the Exeter General Plan and Zoning Ordinance that pertain to parcels of land designated for high density residential and zoned to the R-3 (one unit per 3,000 square feet) district. The 13 lots that fall into this category currently surround the proposed park/pond.

These lots will be relocated to the Vine Street frontage and will be reduced to 12 lots. The area where these lots currently exist will be redesignated and rezoned to low density residential and the R-1-6 district, respectively.

Access:

Vine Street and Elberta Road. Vine is designated as a minor collector while Elberta Road is designated as a local roadway.

Infrastructure: Storm water runoff will be directed to the proposed park/basin located in the southwest corner of the subdivision. The project will connect to the city’s sewer and water system. These lines exist in Vine Street and Meadow Avenue. Both of these systems have the capacity to serve the Fugate Subdivision. In addition, a future well is planned for the proposed park area of this phase of the subdivision. While an exact date is not available at this time, the proposed park will provide the land necessary for addressing the future water needs for the city.

General Plan:

The subject site is designated to three land use categories – open space (the park), low density residential (single family dwellings) and high density residential (multi-family dwellings).

Background:

July 22, 2025 Regular Meeting of the Exeter City Council

Access to the subject property will be from Vine Street, Meadow Avenue, Elberta Road and an alley east of the subject property just north of Vine Street.

Section 16.12.040 of the current City of Exeter Municipal Code establishes that the city council shall have final jurisdiction in the approval of tentative and final subdivision maps, the establishment of requirements for and standards of design of public improvements, and the acceptance of lands and public improvements that may be proposed for dedication as a result of the subdivision process.

Section 16.12.050 of the current City of Exeter Municipal Code outlines the Planning Commission’s role in the review of a proposed subdivision map in relationship to the Subdivision Map Act. This section authorizes the Planning Commission to recommend to the City Council that the Council approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove tentative maps of subdivisions prepared and filed with the city according to the provisions of this title and the Subdivision Map Act.

Section 17.48 of the City of Exeter Municipal Code details the process for zoning ordinance amendments.

Interdepartmental Coordination:

An interdepartmental request for review was sent to all required departments and affected agencies for review and any comments and conditions have been incorporated into the final Conditions of Approval.

Public Participation:

Effective as of January 1, 2025, Assembly Bill 2904 (2024), now requires all local agencies to provide at least 20 days public notice before holding a public hearing on a zoning ordinance or amendment that affects the permitted uses of real property. Previously, only 10 days' notice was required for such hearings. The change in requirement is intended to increase transparency and allow for greater public participation in land-use decisions by providing sufficient time for residents and property owners to understand proposed zoning changes.

July 22, 2025 Regular Meeting of the Exeter City Council

The public hearing for the Fugate Subdivision was adequately noticed for twenty (20) days and advertised for the regularly scheduled City Council hearing. While no written comments or phone calls were received on this matter, the public will have the opportunity to provide comments on this item prior to the City Councils action.

Environmental Review:

The original 2006 request and all of its phases complied with the City of Exeter General Plan and was approved with a Negative Declaration at that time. The latest phase being proposed now requires a General Plan Amendment and Rezone to relocate the original location of the multifamily land uses. While the densities remain relatively the same overall, the relocation of the uses does require the proposed amendment and rezone.

Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the proposed Land Use Amendment and Rezone are Categorically Exempt per CEQA Guidelines Section 15305 – Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations. Class 5 consists of minor alterations in land use limitations in areas with an average slope of less than 20%, which do not result in any changes in land use or density.

Furthermore, no new change in the surrounding area has occurred that would contribute to findings that would be considered significant or represent a major change to the physical environment.

Conclusion:

The above-described Amendments will move the current planned location of the multi-family development that front onto the park/pond to the parcels that front onto Vine Street. This change will move any traffic generated by the multi-family development onto Vine Street rather than onto local roadways that surround the park.

No fiscal impact is associated with this specific action at this time.

In 2006, the Exeter City Council approved the original tentative subdivision map for the Fugate Subdivision. Since that time, no formal amendments to the subdivision map or zoning designations have been approved by the City Council.

RESOLUTION NO. 2025-31

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EXETER APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 2025-01 – SAN JOAQUIN HOMES PROJECT (FUGATE SUBDIVISION AREA)
WHEREAS, in 2006, the City Council of the City of Exeter approved the tentative subdivision map for the Fugate Subdivision, which designated portions of the project site for both single-family and multi-family residential uses, as well as open space for a park/pond and related infrastructure; and
WHEREAS, San Joaquin Homes, the current applicant, has acquired the Fugate Subdivision project and has requested modifications to the subdivision layout to better reflect current market conditions, improve neighborhood design, and relocate multi-family residential development to the Vine Street frontage to reduce traffic impacts on interior residential streets; and
WHEREAS, the proposed changes require an amendment to the Exeter General Plan to adjust the residential land use designations on the affected parcels; and WHEREAS, General Plan Amendment 2025-01 proposes the following changes:
• Amendment No. 1: Redesignation of 1.45 acres from High Density Residential to Low Density Residential (near the park/pond area); and
• Amendment No. 2: Redesignation of 1.67 acres from Low Density Residential to High Density Residential (along the Vine Street frontage); and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Exeter held a duly noticed public hearing on May 15, 2025, to consider the proposed General Plan Amendment and, after reviewing the staff report, project materials, and public input, recommended approval of General Plan Amendment 2025-01; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Exeter held a duly noticed public hearing on July 22, 2025, in compliance with Assembly Bill 2904 (2024), which requires a minimum 20-day public notice for General Plan and Zoning amendments affecting permitted uses of real property; and
WHEREAS, no written comments or phone inquiries were received in advance of the hearing, and the public was given the opportunity to comment during the public hearing; and WHEREAS, the proposed amendment is consistent with the overall goals, objectives, and policies of the City of Exeter General Plan and provides for orderly development of the community consistent with sound land use planning principles; and July 22, 2025 Regular Meeting of the Exeter City Council

Page 353 ends

WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the City has determined that the project is Categorically Exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15305 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) because the amendment involves minor adjustments to land use designations without increasing overall development density or causing significant environmental impacts.

3. The proposed amendment maintains substantially the same overall residential density for the subdivision as previously approved in 2006.

4. The project is Categorically Exempt from CEQA under Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines (Class 5 – Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations).

5. Public notice was provided in accordance with the requirements of state law, including the provisions of AB 2904 (2024).

City Staff recommends that the City Council review the Draft Parks Master Plan, hear comments from the public, provide feedback, and direct any edits to be made.

On August 27, 2024, the City of Exeter approved QK Inc. task order, to prepare the City’s first Park Master Plan.

Over the past 11 months, City staff and QK have collaborated closely on developing this document, conducting significant public outreach and engagement to ensure the Master Plan reflects community priorities.

The Parks Master Plan is designed to serve as a long-range planning document that will guide the improvement, expansion, and maintenance of Exeter’s parks and recreational facilities over the coming years. The Plan provides a framework for both immediate improvements and longterm strategies to support recreation needs of the City.

City staff and QK held regular coordination meetings throughout the process to incorporate input and ensure the Plan is comprehensive and aligned with community needs.

“You can’t tell a kid that it’s time to exercise; that’s a turn off…you have to say, ‘Let’s go to the park and have some fun!’
Then you get them to do some running, play on the swings, practice on the balance beam, and basically get a full workout disguised as play.”– Arnold Schwarzenegger

Draft Executive Summary

Parks Master Plan July 2025
City of Exeter Page 1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Exeter Parks Master Plan (Master Plan) will guide the Administration, Recreation, Public Works, and City Council in allocating resources over the next 15 years, adapting to changing conditions and community needs. The Master Plan was developed through substantial community input, demographics and current trends analysis, assessment of parks and facilities, and review of existing policies to revise and/or draft new policies. The Master Plan describes various types of parks and identifies park facilities designed to maintain and improve Exeter’s quality of life for everyone.

Section 1. Introduction—The Master Plan is organized into 11 sections. After introducing the Master Plan, the goals and policies for parks in Exeter are described.

Section 2. Community Profile and Demographics—Section 2 of the Master Plan provides an overview of the demographics, housing, income, and socioeconomics associated with demographics for the City of Exeter. Exeter has experienced relatively slow population growth compared to Tulare County and the State of California. Data sources used for this Master Plan are primarily from the U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey estimates.

Population and demographic characteristics will influence the level of service (LOS) needed for parks in the City of Exeter. According to 2024 data, the City’s current population is 10,179.

The population is projected to be 14,830 in 2040, the time period planned for in this Master Plan.

Exeter Population Estimate and Projections
2024 2040
Total Growth
Rate
Average Annual
Growth Rate
10,179 14,830 69% 2.38%
Section 2 evaluates the City’s age distribution, a critical component in determining the City’s need for park opportunities. Parks are used by people of all ages. They offer health benefits by providing opportunities for regular exercise and activity. Over half of Exeter’s population is under 34 years old.

This section further discusses Exeter’s demographics. Like the rest of California, Exeter is comprised of a range of culturally diverse populations. Like many Central California cities, Exeter has a near majority Hispanic population, with 51 percent of the population being Hispanic. Census data indicates that approximately 68 percent of people are English-only speakers, and 28 percent of residents of Exeter are Spanish-speaking.

This section discusses health-related demographic information and the critical role parks play in residents’ health, such as reducing healthcare costs.

Section 3. Community and Stakeholder Input—At the start of the project, a Public Outreach Plan was created, which established the project’s public outreach strategies. The Public Outreach Plan provided the formation of the community vision and goals, community workshops, stakeholder interviews, and the community survey.

A community workshop kicked off the Parks Master Plan public engagement. Interactive questions and information were exchanged with community members who were present. The project team provided exhibit boards and a PowerPoint presentation and released the
community survey the night of the workshop.

The community survey asked questions focused on key issues raised in the project research, interviews, and tours. The questions were geared toward gathering further information regarding the demographics of participants, community
attitudes/most significant issues facing Exeter, recreation behavior, facility use, satisfaction with facilities and programs, and desired improvements. Survey results were summarized and are found in the appendices.

The project team held in-person stakeholder meetings to understand community perspectives on the existing and future needs of the City as they fall within the Exeter Parks Master Plan review. Discussions at the stakeholder interviews gave interviewers a perspective on the successes, issues, concerns, and desires of groups like sports organizations, schools, community leaders, and
service clubs. The general feedback received was
that the City is doing better with recreation
programs, but there is a need to improve
maintenance and upgrade park amenities.

Section 4. Trends—This section identifies local,
regional, and national recreation trends that occur
in parks and recreation. Aquatic centers, disc golf,
aerobics, outdoor yoga, dog parks, pickleball,
themed playgrounds, and community events are all
trends that are occurring at the local, regional, and
national levels. Some of the trending strategies being utilized by parks departments include increased security measures at parks and elevating the purpose of parks in a community so that they are part of an overall economic development strategy by drawing people to the community.

Section 5. Inventory and Needs Assessment—The City of Exeter aims to create a community through people, parks, and programs. The current park acreages are analyzed against a ratio of park or recreation facilities per 1,000 population. Understanding existing resources is essential to beginning the needs evaluation process.

provides opportunities for many community and personal activities related to recreation, health, education, and cultural enrichment.

The City has 12 existing parks: Dobson Field, City Park, Brickhouse Park, Joyner Park, Dale Sally (Water Tower) Park, Rose Garden Park, Schelling Park, Planter Park, Schroth Park, Unger Park, Exeter Bark Park, and Mixter Park. The parks range in size from 0.07 acres to 17 acres. The total acreage of the 12 parks is 31.76 acres. Each park has a mix of amenities, including playgrounds, restrooms, drinking fountains, picnic shelters, benches, and trails.

The Master Plan inventories the type and number of amenities found in each park.

The California Code of Regulations, Title 24,
Part 2 mandates that all publicly funded
buildings, structures, and related facilities
shall be accessible to and usable by people
with disabilities. These regulations pertain
to Exeter’s public buildings, parks, and
facilities that were constructed using State,
City, or municipal funds or that are owned,
leased, rented, contracted, or sublet by the
City. This Master Plan identifies the
necessary modifications to playgrounds and
public sidewalks adjacent to parks to ensure
accessibility.

The Master Plan classifies the City’s parks into five categories: Pocket Parks, Neighborhood Parks, Community Parks, Trailways, and Specialty Parks. This Master Plan proposes expanding the classifications of parks in Exeter within these categories. Expanding the classifications by which parks are identified can help to better plan for their maintenance, development, and budget. It also helps when comparing parkland with neighboring communities.

The City currently has a population of 10,179 and 31.8 acres of developed parkland. This translates into a ratio of 3.1 park acres per 1,000 population. With a recommended ratio standard of 5.0 acres per 1,000 residents, the City will need to boost the quantity of park acreage available within a comfortable walking or biking distance for residents. The park acreage needs to increase by a total of 42.4 acres to 74.2 acres by 2040. However, because the community feels expansion of parks is not needed at this time, until operations and maintenance of existing parks are improved, the Master Plan recommends that the City methodically and thoughtfully take the time over the next few years to improve existing parks to ensure what is built can be maintained. This does not speak to the development of parks within new subdivisions; this only speaks to the park identifying new sites for additional City-maintained parks.

LOS standards were reviewed using a combination of local, regional, and national resources, including:
• 2020 General Plan Policy Document (Open Space and Conservation and Parks, Schools, and Community Facilities Elements).
• National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) 2024 guidelines. • Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Update (2024).
• Other standards from Parks Master Plans from communities in the region. • Community stakeholders and City staff input and general observations. This allows standards to be customized specifically for the City of Exeter’s parks system.

Park and recreation agencies are as diverse as their communities, and what works well for one agency may not be best for every agency. To make these standards relatable to local conditions, several Central California cities with recent Park Master Plans were evaluated.

Specific cities with available data were selected to establish an average LOS for each park classification. Similar criteria used to choose these cities were demographics, population, and size. Exeter’s current park acreage per resident is considerably lower than that of comparable cities.

Some communities listed above, such as the City of Woodlake, maintain a majority of their city's parkland under their Landscape and Lighting districts. This lightens the cost and maintenance for parks, but also superficially lowers the technical number of parks within the jurisdiction.

Section 7. Recommendations for Renovation —The
design guidelines in Section 7 are to be used to
discuss, review, and approve new developments or
improvements to the park system. Exeter should use
the guidelines to measure all projects for
conformance with the intent and direction of the
Master Plan. Developers and builders, designers and
planners, decision-makers, staff, and members of the
community should all use these guidelines when
considering the following overarching questions.
• Does the project exemplify the type of improvement or outcomes envisioned by the community as stated through the Master Plan vision, goals, and policies? • Will the project meet the intent of the respective park classification, with improvements that are compatible with the specific park type? Park classification guidelines for size and location are recommended in Table 7-1 to ensure that future parks in Exeter are properly sized to support the appropriate amenities for their intended purpose and so they can be located along streets with appropriate traffic levels.

Draft Executive Summary

Parks Master Plan July 2025
City of Exeter Page 7
The evaluation of Exeter parks’ operations
and maintenance indicates some room for
improvement to increase efficiency.

Discussions with staff indicate that facility
maintenance is a challenge and one of the
many responsibilities of Public Works staff.

Suggestions for establishing better practices
can help increase operational efficiencies.

The community indicated throughout the
public outreach process that they were
aware of the limited resources available to
the City for park maintenance, but there was
a strong indication that more could be done.

The Master Plan proposes best practices that could be employed to achieve a high level of maintenance with limited staff.

Potential for any park renovation and major
improvement should be ranked annually from
high priority to low priority. An estimated cost
for the renovations and improvements for
each park project should be identified prior to
budget development. At any time, the City
may consider that any one park or any specific
renovation/improvement may need to take
priority over another park based on several
factors such as timing for a grant, concerns,
changing needs of residents, and available
funding.

Section 10. Funding, Partnership, and
Acquisition—Several sound and strategic
funding options were identified to continue to
build and maintain the parks and recreation
system for the capital improvement projects
presented in this Master Plan. Fiscally
sustainable and realistic funding sources are essential to implementing a capital improvement plan (CIP), and there are significant existing funding sources to fund capital improvement and operational costs. These sources include public sector grants, fees and tax measures, assessment districts, non-traditional methodologies, and a wide range of private and corporate foundation sources. The Master Plan identifies specific grant programs that are available to fund park improvements. The Master Plan also discusses other funding mechanisms, such as local sales tax measures, impact fees and dedications, business sponsorships, and community volunteer groups.

Section 11. References—The Master Plan was prepared using several sources, which are listed in this section.

Draft Introduction

Parks Master Plan July 2025
City of Exeter Page 1-1
SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION
In September 2024, the City of Exeter (City) began preparing a City of Exeter Parks Master Plan. The City’s 2020 General Plan has goals, policies, and standards, some of which describe the need for Open Space and Conservation and Recreation, but a comprehensive Parks Master Plan has never been prepared. This Parks Master Plan will help direct and guide the City’s decisions with a plan prepared with input and support from the public, stakeholders, staff, and City Council officials.

1.1 - Purpose
The new Exeter Parks Master Plan will guide City departments, such as Administration, Public Works Department, the Recreation Department, and City Council, in allocating resources over the next 15 years, adapting to changing conditions and population needs. The Parks Master Plan has been informed by substantial community input, demographics, and current trends analysis, assessment of parks and facilities, and existing and new policies. The Master Plan describes various types of parks and identifies park facilities and access improvements designed to maintain and improve Exeter’s quality of life for everyone.

This Master Plan will review the 12 existing parks in Exeter, describe known future parks being developed, and plan for future parks. It will not analyze or make recommendations about the Exeter Veterans Memorial Building, which is privately owned and not a public facility maintained by the City.

1.2 - Plan Organization
The Master Plan is organized into the following sections:

Executive Summary. The Executive Summary provides a brief description of key components of the Master Plan.

Section 1: Introduction. The introduction describes the purpose of the Master Plan and how it is organized, the location of the City of Exeter in a regional context, and the General Plan’s policies on parks.

Section 2: Community Profile and Demographics. This section details the City’s demographics, including population forecast, age distribution, race/ethnicity, households, socioeconomics, and health and related issues.

Section 3: Community and Stakeholder Input. This section includes a description of the community engagement plan, the meetings and interviews held with stakeholders and the public, and a summary of the community survey results. Full community survey results are in the appendices.

Section 4: Trends. This section examines local, regional, and national parks and recreation trends.

Section 5: Inventory and Needs Assessment. This section organizes City parks by pocket parks, neighborhood parks, community parks, and trailways. Based on individual site visits, it identifies each park’s existing conditions. Population growth estimates and future park needs are also analyzed.

Section 6: Level of Service Analysis. LOS standards are guidelines that define service areas based on population and distance that support a city’s investment decisions related to parks, facilities, and amenities. This section looks at recommended standards by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), similar regional standards, the City’s current standards, and a summary of key findings.

Section 7: Recommendations for Renovation. This section recommends standards for the development of new parks, such as the types of park amenities appropriate to each type of park classification. It also recommends specific improvements for each of the City’s existing parks.

Section 8: Park Development Recommendations. This section describes future park opportunities. The recommendations are based on community input and national trends.

Section 9: Maintenance and Operations. This section provides guidelines and recommendations for the maintenance and operation of parks, including irrigation efficiencies, recommended low-water plants, and maintenance staff procedures and efficiency opportunities.

Section 10: Funding, Partnership, and
Acquisition. This section provides some
recommendations for budgeting and lists
methods of funding, from grants to impact fees.

Section 11: References. This final section lists
the references consulted in preparation for the
Master Plan.

Appendices. The appendices include supporting
materials like the results of outreach efforts.

1.3 - Location/Geographic Context
The City of Exeter is situated in the central eastern portion of Tulare County, which is in the south-central portion of the San Joaquin Valley; see Figure 1-1. Exeter is located south of the junction of California State Route (SR)-198 and SR-65, approximately 16 miles east of Visalia and three miles east of Farmersville. Exeter is bisected by SR-65. Exeter is surrounded primarily by agricultural uses. Exeter takes pride in and is known for its murals, antiques, and small-town charm.

1.4 - Consistency with the General Plan
The Exeter General Plan identifies opportunities to improve and integrate parks into Exeter’s planned growth. The following General Plan goals and policies are relevant to the provision of quality parks in Exeter.

The General Plan creates a foundation for land-use planning in Exeter. The adopted General Plan creates a vision for the foreseeable planning horizon. The General Plan is made up of a variety of objectives, goals, and policies that lead to implementation programs guiding the physical development of the City. Although the 2000–2020 Exeter General Plan is not overly specific, it does provide some opportunities to guide the improvements of parks. The following are goals for recreation found in the General Plan Open Space, Parks, and Recreation Element.

Open space, parks, and recreation add to the quality of life in a community. Open space delineates the edge of a community and affords the public views of range groves, fields, and/or the Sierras. People who live in a city that is surrounded by open space benefit psychologically because they can visually or physically take advantage of an open space feature.

A park is an outdoor open space feature that can accommodate an assortment of recreation and leisure activities. A park can include playgrounds, community recreation facilities, playing fields and community centers. Paralleling a city’s park system is its recreation program. A city’s recreation department is responsible for programming various activities, services, and events in its park system. To have an effective recreation program, a city must also have a good park system. • Conserve, restore, and enhance significant natural, cultural, and historic resources. • Create and preserve open space in the Exeter area to meet the community’s needs now and in the future.
• Develop a high-quality public park and recreation system that is convenient, accessible, and affordable to all segments of the City. • Implement the Conservation, Open Space, and Recreation Element through a combination of public and private funds, regulatory processes, and innovative strategies.
• Preserve the existing scenic qualities of the community by adopting standards regulating entryways, view preservation, and landscaping.

The development of the Exeter Parks Master Plan will provide more specific details to further guide the City to meet these General Plan policies.

Draft Community Profile and Demographics

Parks Master Plan July 2025
City of Exeter Page 2-1
SECTION 2 - COMMUNITY PROFILE AND DEMOGRAPHICS
This section provides an overview of the demographics, housing, income, and education associated with poverty levels in the City of Exeter. Data sources used for this Master Plan are primarily from the California Department of Finance and the Exeter General Plan estimated growth projections.

Population growth is critical to increasing demand for parks and recreation facilities in most areas. Demographic characteristics can influence the LOS for parks in the City of Exeter. For example, age and income affect an individual’s ability to pursue and utilize facilities. To a lesser extent, employment, education, and ethnicity can also play a role. A demographic overview is presented here to determine park and recreation demands.

2.1 - Population Forecast
According to 2024 data from the California Department of Finance, the current estimated population for the City of Exeter is 10,179. According to the estimated growth rate of the Exeter General Plan, the population of Exeter is projected to increase to 14,830 in 2040, a 69 percent increase. The population projections are shown in Table 2-1. Although the approximately 2.38 percent average annual growth rate will be at the high end of growth rates, it is what the Exeter General Plan calls for during this same period.

Exeter Population Estimate and Projections
2024 2040
Total Growth
Rate
Average Annual
Growth Rate
10,1791 14,830 69% 2.38%

2.2 - Age Distribution
Age distribution is often used to determine a city’s need for park opportunities. It is understood that people in younger and older demographic groups utilize park facilities more often, while age groups 35 to 54 typically do not use parks as often as other age groups tend to; there is evidence that parks are used by people of all ages and phases of life. Recent trends show that senior activity levels are on the rise, given the health benefits of getting outside and regular exercise. Locally, younger Exeter residents comprise 49 percent of the population, and seniors 65 and older comprise 13 percent. Table 2-2 depicts age distribution in the City of Exeter. Residents based on each age group comprise the overall population.

Comparatively, the largest age groups are under 18, making up 29 percent of the population (U.S. Census Bureau, 2022).

2.3 - Race/Ethnicity/Primary Household Language
Exeter has a culturally diverse population, as shown by the San Joaquin Valley demographic trends. The population is split at 51 percentHispanic and 49 percent non-Hispanic (see Table 2-3). The City contains a below-average number of other prominent ethnic groups (Asian, Black/African American, Native Hawaiian, and American Indian). Often, languages that reflect the heritage of the residents are spoken. In this specific case, English and Spanish are the predominant languages spoken in Exeter homes.

The following language breakdown is calculated by including the population of people aged five years and over who speak English at home. According to the U.S. Census, 68 percent of the population are English-only speakers, 28 percent speak Spanish, and four percent speak a language other than English or Spanish. (U.S. Census Bureau, 2022).

City of Exeter Page 2-3

2.4 - Housing
Exeter housing is approximately 95 percent occupied, meaning there are not many unoccupied homes in the community. This may be an indication that the community is much more settled and less transitional/transient in their living accommodations. Exeter makes up two percent of the total houses available in Tulare County, with Housing Occupancy Rates for Exeter and Tulare County shown in Table 2-4. The U.S. Census Bureau’s quick facts indicate that over 84 percent of residents live in the same house they lived in one year ago.

Total housing units 3,667 150,652
Source: 2020 U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey Occupancy Characteristics, Table H1
Typically, parks located in areas where housing prices and income are lower will be better utilized than parks located in other neighborhoods. The median price for a home in Exeter in 2025 is $372,407 (Zillow, 2025). Comparatively, the approximate median home price in Tulare County is $347,173 (Zillow, 2025). Exeter has had slow but steady development within the City. Unger Park has helped add acreage to the overall City park acreage, allowing for greater park access in the southern part of the City.

2.5 - Socioeconomics
Trends in park planning illustrate that many low-income families take advantage of free or low-cost recreation opportunities, such as playing in parks and attending City-sponsored programs and events. However, low-income families may also spend more time at work, leaving less time for recreational pursuits.

The City of Exeter’s median household income is $71,198 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2024), compared to the average California median income of $96,334. According to CalEnviroScreen 4.0, there are two census tracts under which Exeter falls. The top half of the City (north of Visalia Road and Pine/Rocky Hill Drive) falls into the 69th percentile for cumulative impacts (exposures, environmental effects, sensitive populations, and socioeconomic factors) in California communities, while the south half (south of Visalia Road and Pine/Rocky Hill Drive) falls into the 77th percentile.

2.6 - Health and Related Factors
Exeter has two major public health
concerns: poor air quality and obesity. A
Parks Master Plan can help reduce the
effects of both issues. Exeter is located
near the foothills of the Sierra Nevada,
which is home to Sequoia National Park.

The City is surrounded by mountains,
and the infrequent strong winds
exacerbate air pollution, primarily
caused by fuel particulates and
agricultural activities, which is a
significant problem in the San Joaquin
Valley. The San Joaquin Valley has been
deemed an “extreme non-attainment
zone” by the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) for select pollutants.

Although the inclusion of parks does not
directly affect the air quality in Exeter or
the San Joaquin Valley, the planting of
trees can sequester carbon in the
atmosphere and convert it into oxygen
in a process called photosynthesis.

Diseases that may be caused by or
exacerbated by poor air quality include
asthma and asthma attacks, valley
fever2, lung and heart disease, cancer, and more. Furthermore, improving and adding more parks promotes a healthier lifestyle, which can reduce ailments that may be exacerbated by poor air quality.

Building and maintaining parks promote a healthier and less sedentary lifestyle. According to the County Health rankings, Tulare County has an approximate 38 percent adult obesity rate, although 73 percent of residents have access to available exercise opportunities (Countyhealthrankings.org, 2024). The statistics also indicate that air pollution in terms of particulate matter, although improving, exceeds the annual average micrograms per cubic meter of fine matriculate measured in the air, compared to the greater State of California and the United States. There is a measurably higher prevalence of obesity among people who are low-income Hispanic than among people of higher incomes or people who are classified as white.
2 Center for Disease Control (CDC) claims valley fever is endemic in the San Joaquin Valley. This fever is caused by fungus in the soil getting trapped in the air and inhaled by residents. It can cause pneumonia and is especially dangerous for seniors.

Draft Community and Stakeholder Input

Parks Master Plan July 2025
City of Exeter Page 3-1
SECTION 3 - COMMUNITY AND STAKEHOLDER INPUT

3.1 - Community Engagement Plan
The community outreach throughout the project provided a variety of methods for participants to interact, learn, and engage in meaningful and comfortable ways (by providing a range of written, verbal, and in-person input options). A Public Outreach Plan was developed for this project. A public workshop was scheduled and planned at the project kickoff meeting to spark community engagement and solicit their input. The workshop was advertised with banners at parks in both English and Spanish. An online survey was made available to the public after the workshop. The survey was available on social media and was advertised on the City’s website. Stakeholders were identified, and two half-day sets of oneon-one interviews were conducted to get an initial understanding of their needs and desires from the community. Various other community events and club meetings were attended to solicit feedback and establish relationships with stakeholders. The City’s Administration, Public Works, and Parks Department staff were involved throughout the community outreach process.

3.2 - Community Vision and Goals
Prior to the kick-off of the Parks Master Plan with the City of Exeter and the consultant team, we identified at least seven goals at the start of this project. Additional goals were identified during the planning process, and public outreach with the community and stakeholders was conducted. A list of policies to pursue to meet those goals was established. A review of past policies that still needed to be implemented entirely or policies that could be maintained was identified in the 2020 General Plan. The six initial goals were:

GOAL #1: Identify the community’s needs and
interests.

GOAL #2: Prioritize projects that the community
service groups can contribute to.

GOAL #3: Create a Master Plan that will
successfully compete with other
communities for funding opportunities.

GOAL #4: Develop a Master Plan that receives
community buy-in.

GOAL #5: Address accessibility, including park
visitors with disabilities.

GOAL #6: Develop a 15+ year “vision” and roadmap for the future of parks and park budgets in the City.

3.3 - Community Workshop: Introduction to the Parks Master Plan A community workshop was held at the Exeter Memorial Building on Thursday, October 10, 2024. The meeting was advertised through posters at local parks, City events, City Hall, the City’s website, social media, and word of mouth from community stakeholders.

The meeting was held in the evening over an approximately two-hour period and was divided into three parts: exhibit boards with voting dots; a PowerPoint presentation with a survey accessed via their phone and a QR code; and a question-and-answer period/open discussion whereby participants expressed their opinions, ideas, and concerns individually.

A Spanish translator was available at the public meeting.

Exhibit boards with images of City park amenities were available for viewing and discussion at the entrance as participants walked in, and they could select their preferred amenities for future and existing parks. Participants could also view the boards before and after the event.

Participants were asked to locate their neighborhood and the park they frequented most often using voting dots on maps. At a third station, they were asked for ideas to improve existing parks by providing a sticky note to each relevant park. The completed posters with dots can be seen in the appendices.

The preference for the types of amenities
the community would like to see in new and
improved parks was ranked below as
follows:
• Splash Pad.
• Amphitheatre.
• Increase Trails.
• Community Gardens.
• More Playgrounds.
• Skate Park.
• Gathering Places.
• Outdoor Exercise Equipment.
• Baseball Fields.
• Outdoor Basketball.

The question was also asked whether users
preferred to expand or improve existing
parks and facilities or to develop new parks,
and a strong majority voted that they prefer
to improve existing parks. The City was
divided into quadrants, with Pine Street and
the railroad tracks as the north/south
boundaries and east/west boundaries,
respectively. When asked where they

City of Exeter Page 3-3
wanted to see new parks, over 25 percent indicated they wanted to see new parks north of Pine Street, east of the railroad tracks.

Additional information that was collected
indicated that social media was the most often
used source for information about events and
activities in the City, followed closely by
friends/neighbors/family word of mouth. The
City’s website and local newspapers were the
next preferred sources of information.

Workshop participants were the first to access
the community survey by scanning a QR code
shown on the presentation screen at the
workshop. The survey allowed participants to
respond to specific questions, including
answers to a multiple-choice selection, and select a preference or range of preferences posed to them. A list of the survey questions and the responses can be found in the appendices.

General feedback received at outreach meeting
#1 centered around the premise that the City
needs to improve maintenance and park
amenities at existing parks before building new
parks. Safety and security measures like
maintenance, lighting, and public restrooms
would make the parks more user-friendly. More
opportunities for shade from the Central Valley
heat and access to water and restrooms are
needed. Improved recreational leagues and
community events would bring the community
to parks in Exeter. As a continuation of public
outreach, a booth at the Fall Festival at City Park
was secured on behalf of the project. From the early morning on October 12, 2024, through the early afternoon, residents had the opportunity to share their thoughts on City parks and future amenities they would like to see in parks. A copy of the final boards is available in the appendices of this document.

3.4 - Stakeholder Interviews
Stakeholder interviews were held to better understand their perspective on the City’s existing and future park needs. Stakeholders provided valuable information that provided context and framework. Information was provided to stakeholders who could not attend the interviews, and additional meetings were held seeking stakeholder feedback. All information received from stakeholders was summarized and incorporated into the planning process.

Stakeholders included members of the Recreation staff, the Planning Commission, the City staff, Exeter School District, key sports organizations, local community organizations, and July 22, 2025 Regular Meeting of the Exeter City Council

others identified by the City staff to discuss the project and solicit comments, issues, problems, and preferences. The two-day event (approximately four hours daily) included pre-arranged timeslots to interview individuals and solicit responses. Interviewees also had the opportunity to offer their input regardless of the list of prepared questions.

The scheduled interviews with the stakeholders provided a beneficial perspective on the successes, issues, concerns, needs, and desires of groups like volunteer and sports organizations, community leaders, educators, and the Planning Commission. Below are summaries of the findings.

The participants’ most often used facilities in the City included, in this order, City Park, Dobson Field, and Schroth Park. The general feedback stakeholders provided was that there is general contentment with recreation coming back with programs post-COVID years. The new playgrounds that were installed have been good, but maintenance and amenity upgrades at parks need to be improved.

Stakeholders indicated that the City should increase recreation and rental fees to help improve the quality of park maintenance. Find a solution for reporting and reducing vandalism. Communication regarding recreation league sports is weak and unorganized.

Parks need restrooms. Art should be brought to the parks, and the City should continue to improve and support organizations that use the park systems.

The stakeholders interviewed identified the most desired aspects for new facilities or improvements added to the City’s parks. Most of them indicated that something needs to be done to improve the condition of City parks, which would help the City get the community back into the parks. All stakeholders indicated they wanted most or all of these items:
• Improve lighting at parks.
• Improve the look of parks by keeping them clean and providing desirable amenities (barbecue pits, picnic tables, benches, and restrooms). • Improve safety at parks by eliminating hiding spots for campers and keeping them clean.
• Find a way to let the community volunteers help to maintain parks and increase a sense of ownership.
• Irrigation and weed control were some of the most significant complaints regarding park conditions.

Stakeholders indicated that their service club and organization would be interested in sponsoring clean-up days or providing semi-regular maintenance of parks. Some organizations indicated there was a greater desire to enhance parks than maintain them.

Feedback from stakeholders to the City consisted of a few recommendations to improve current and future parks in the City of Exeter.

Some of the most significant issues of concern for stakeholders were:

• Lean into the community support being offered by making these seemingly impossible roadblocks, like liability, clear.
• Find ways to make money through community support and find a way to say yes. • Formalize agreements, uses, and roles with the school district and other users of parks.

A summary of all comments received from stakeholders can be found in the appendices of this document.

3.5 - Summary of Surveys
The community survey was released live at public workshop #1 and was open until the end of November 2024. It was advertised to all present at the meeting, including stakeholders, and printed on flyers and banners at City parks. City staff also provided the survey and plan information at community events throughout October and November.

In developing the survey, questions were created
based on collected information and presented to City
staff for review and comment prior to the workshop.

The survey was conducted on SurveyMonkey and
contained questions aimed at providing responses
that would provide valuable information for decisionmakers. The survey included questions about critical issues such as Exeter’s existing park needs, overall
satisfaction with parks, future needs, and untapped
opportunities. Some of the questions were geared
towards gathering the stakeholders’ and community’s
responses to the following:
• Demographics of participants.
• Community attitudes/biggest issues facing Exeter parks. • Recreation behavior/frequency of use.
• Facility use/perceived barriers to participation at park facilities. • Satisfaction with facilities and programs.
• Desired improvements.
• Desired outcome of addressing the wading pool at City Park.

There were nearly 400 survey respondents. Given Exeter’s population, the number of respondents means the responses produce a 95 percent confidence level. In other words, the results have a five percent margin of error. Some of the survey results included:
• Over 91 percent of survey respondents indicated they live within the city limits of Exeter. Over 99 percent of respondents indicated they either lived in Exeter, considered it their hometown, or lived nearby.

• Over 54 percent of survey respondents indicated they have lived in Exeter for over 20 years.
• Over 67 percent of survey respondents had three or more members in their household. Most households had two or more kids (ages 1–17). • The majority of households
responding did not have senior
citizens living in them.
• The most provided response
was that members of the
household use parks more than
once a week, while the second
highest response indicated they
use them several times a year.
• Most respondents (68 percent)
walk to access the park. Driving
(59 percent), riding a bike,
skating, or rolling (16 percent)
to the park was also a common
method of accessing parks.
• A majority of respondents indicated they use City Park, Schroth Park, and Dobson Field the most often.
• The number one response people indicated was what keeps them or members of their household from using City parks: lack of restroom access (58 percent), not enough shade (43 percent), followed by safety and security issues (30 percent). • Most people who visit parks indicated that their top three reasons for visiting were:
walking, jogging, and biking; playground play; and outdoor gatherings at picnic sites. • Nearly 40 percent of respondents indicated some level of satisfaction with the current maintenance of park facilities. On the other end of the spectrum, 42 percent were not very or not at all satisfied with the current maintenance of the City parks’ facilities.

The majority cited better care of grass, trees, and shrubs as the most important maintenance issue to invest in.
• The top four amenities survey respondents indicated they would like to see in parks to meet their household needs were: restrooms/concession facilities (56 percent); trails and walking paths (50 percent); splash park/water play (45 percent); picnic areas/picnic pavilion/barbecue areas that can be reserved (41 percent). • The number one response regarding where funding should come from to fund park improvements was donations from community groups.
• Over 51 percent of survey respondents indicated they have fond memories of the historic pool at City Park, while just over 15 percent indicated they were not familiar with it. All but 10 percent of survey respondents had suggestions and insight as to how the pool can be revitalized or preserved.
• Many respondents indicated Dobson Field needs many improvements, including improving the quality of the ballfields, improving the quality of the grass/turf, making driveways safer, and additional parking is needed.

3.6 - Public Workshop #2
The second public workshop was held on Monday, April 7, 2024, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

The purpose of the workshop was to recap the Master Plan’s efforts to date, share improvement recommendations, and provide an interactive opportunity to prioritize improvement needs. Concepts of a revised layout for both Dobson Field and City Park were displayed. With the opportunity for discussion and the availability of some cost estimates for improvements, people asked questions specific to their interests.

After just over 30 minutes of open conversation, the group gathered for a presentation on the Master Plan’s progress and discussed opportunities for prioritizing the recommended improvements.

The prioritization recommendations include the following top five recommendations.

1. Make visible improvements to the most-used parks.

2. Address ADA access needs/hazards.

3. Improve safety lighting.

4. Formalize school use agreements and service group agreements to allow for continued partnerships for park use.

5. Implement a work order system to keep track of and prioritize park maintenance.

Overall, there was general contentment with the display of concepts of what Dobson Field and City Park could look like after full build-out. The community provided insight into opportunities to help accelerate some recommendations that are incorporated into later sections of this document.

Draft Trends

Parks Master Plan July 2025
City of Exeter Page 4-1
SECTION 4 - TRENDS
This section reviews local, regional, and national recreation trends and relates them to Exeter’s demographics and identified interests.

4.1 - Local Trends
Local trends can be determined by observing other actions and programs undertaken by nearby communities. Preferences by a specific community do not necessarily result in the creation of a trend, but improvements in one community may encourage other communities to follow suit. Interest in similar programs and improvements in parks and recreation results in a local trend. Recent park renovations in neighboring Central Valley communities showcase some trends that have captured local appeal.

The City of Visalia has completed the final phase of the 80-acre regional sports park, which provides much-needed space for tournaments, games, celebrations, and open space. The sports park allows the City and local sports leagues to host tournaments, bringing visitors to the region and providing an economic benefit.

The City of Woodlake has completed updates to Woodlake City Park, a revitalized park in downtown Woodlake that contains one locally fabricated arbor, a gazebo, electrical connections, a performance stage, a skate park, a western-themed playground, and restrooms.

The City of Lindsay is celebrating food trucks and local cuisine options by providing dedicated spaces and advertising for festivals and events held at their Wellness Center.

The City of Fresno recently installed a very large splash pad and water play area at the new, universally accessible location. The City is also adding shade sails over existing playgrounds and converting existing tennis courts to be used dually as pickleball courts.

The City of Huron has been awarded a Proposition 68 Statewide Park Program grant to create La Placita Park. The downtown park will include an amphitheater, a covered playground, a splash pad, exercise stations, and picnic areas.

The community of Earlimart has recently installed a new park space that contains an outdoor classroom, community gardens, ball courts, a performance venue, and a stage. The four-acre park site features aesthetically pleasing infiltration swales that capture, direct, and filter stormwater runoff. Local high school students were involved in designing ‘cartoon’ tiles that represented life in their community.

The City of Tulare’s downtown Zumwalt Park has recently received an entire makeover. New improvements include a high-end, concert-quality amphitheater and stage, tiered audience seating, all-new lighting and landscaping improvements, a playground, a splash pad, fencing, and a restroom building.

July 22, 2025 Regular Meeting of the Exeter City Council

Draft Trends

Parks Master Plan July 2025
City of Exeter Page 4-2
The City of Corcoran recently completed the new Gateway Park. The park includes a pump track for bicycling, which is currently one of the largest tracks for the sport in North America.

Other amenities include restroom facilities, a shaded inclusive playground, splash pad, and water play area, a natural grass athletic field, an amphitheater area, public art, a walking/jogging loop trail, and exercise equipment stations.

Some of the more common trends occurring in nearby
cities include:
• An increase in field sports activities.
• Local walking circuits and multi-use pedestrian
and biking trails.
• Revitalizing existing parks.
• Community and youth centers.
• A wider variety of inter-generational, low-impact
activities.
• Dog walking.
• Security measures to deter vandalism.
• Enhancing natural or artificial water sources.
• Early morning and later evening opportunities
during the cooler hours of the day.
• Music and movie events.

4.2 - Regional Trends
Regional trends identify recreational facilities and programs being proposed by cities throughout California. Common themes observed include a focus on active sports play fields, passive walking and hiking opportunities, and indoor and outdoor pools designed not only for traditional competition swim teams and organized events but also for aquatic-based activities like water aerobics, swim lessons, and public free swim times. Pickleball and disc golf have both experienced surges in participation numbers in recent years.

Most Central Valley communities struggle to maintain
appreciably smaller amounts of park and open space than the more densely populated areas in the north and south of the State. Furthermore, Central Valley communities
contend with significantly lower median and household
income rates in conjunction with increasingly higher
rates of disadvantaged populations than other regions of the State. Disadvantaged communities typically also have deficiencies in local parks and recreation facilities.

Below is a description of specific trends in parks and recreation that are being observed on a regional scale:

July 22, 2025 Regular Meeting of the Exeter City Council

Page 396 ends

Draft Trends

Parks Master Plan July 2025
City of Exeter Page 4-3
Aquatic Centers. To help mitigate the prohibitive construction and operational costs of new pool installations, the trend in aquatics center development is moving toward the creation of multi-purpose facilities with combinations of uses to keep the facilities active and generating revenue over a more extended period. Newer facilities may still include traditional recreational and competition pools, but now also may include water slides, water play areas, splash pads and splash play areas, shallow areas for swimming lessons, water exercise classes, water challenge courses, and programmed movie nights with concessions and other activities often tied to events.

Lower Impact Activities. Pickleball, eSports, and disc golf have all experienced significant increases in participation in recent years, while more traditional sports, like tackle football and fastpitch softball, have seen significant declines in recent years.

Concerns over injury and concussions resulting from football and other high-intensity/high-impact activities have spurred interest in reviving touch football programs and other lower-impact sports.

Synthetic Turf. Many of the natural grass sports fields get used nearly all year long and have little time to recover and be repaired before the next season of use begins. Many communities and parks departments are moving to synthetic turf fields. While initially more expensive to install, the long-term savings in water use and associated maintenance cost savings make it a more sustainable system that provides more hours of play without significant repairs, mowing, and fertilizing. Careful analysis of operation costs can indicate whether this option is viable for smaller cities.

Other regional facility and program trends include:
• Themed special events.
• Social recreation events.
• Fitness enhancement classes.
• Health and wellness education.
• Community center/youth center.
• Dog parks for both large and small dogs.
• Gymnasiums and indoor sports venues that are independent of schools. • Greenways, paths, and interconnected trailways for running, biking, and dog walking. • Outdoor event spaces and venues for concerts and special events. • Universal access playgrounds.

4.3 - Nationwide Trends
Some local trends that we are familiar with are part of much larger national trends. Their extensive popularity implies that interest in them will likely be strong well into the future.

Nationwide parks and recreation trends include:

Aerobics Trends. According to the Sports and Fitness Industry Association (SFIA), highintensity interval training (HIIT) and cross-training style workouts, or CrossFit, are two top July 22, 2025 Regular Meeting of the Exeter City Council

Page 397 ends

Draft Trends

Parks Master Plan July 2025
City of Exeter Page 4-4
trending aerobic activities. These workouts combine elements of gymnastics, weightlifting, running, rowing, and other sports to create a varied fitness regimen.

Outdoor Yoga. Nearly one-third of yoga enthusiasts practice the activity outdoors. A park can add an outdoor yoga space in a serene location away from the noise, cultivating a sense of calmness and peace, and potentially less costly than boutique yoga studios. Outdoor yoga spaces require little room and are usually located in an isolated area or next to a playground.

Dog Parks. Dog parks are one of the fastest-growing types of parks in the country. The nearly 90 million dogs in the United States must have a place to run, play, and socialize with other dogs. Larger dog parks have become destinations and can contribute significantly to agency revenues and tourism.

Where stand-alone dog parks are not possible, it is also a good idea to integrate dog amenities into parks, such as basic obedience stations along an exercise course and dog waste bags available at parks with walking paths and trash
receptacles.

Pickleball. Roughly 4.8 million people play pickleball in the United States. A reason for the sport’s popularity is that many people are migrating from tennis to pickleball. Tennis courts can be easily striped for pickleball players. Utilizing tennis and pickleball courts for dual usage can be a cost-saving approach for two sports on one court. The popularity of pickleball tournaments continues to grow.

Themed Playgrounds. Themed playgrounds
continue to be a popular trend. Whether
they echo a medieval castle, pirate ship, or
outer space, these themed play spaces break
the mold of traditional playgrounds to battle
ever-shrinking attention spans.

Private-Sector Indoor Activities. Indoor
commercial recreation experiences are
replacing some traditional public park
facilities. Some new private-sector indoor facilities that are growing by leaps and bounds include trampoline centers, climbing facilities, and multi-sports ‘bubbles’ with turf-play areas for baseball, lacrosse, football, soccer, and other field sports.

Nationally, specific goals, purposes, and strategies that appear to be trending include:

Combating Obesity with Parks. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the United States’ obesity rate rose from 14 percent in the mid-1970s to 42 percent in 2023. The availability of facilities where fitness activities are possible, such as parks and trails, can help turn that statistic around.

Draft Trends

City of Exeter Page 4-5
Increased Security. Park designs to increase safety and security include improving the sight lines into park use areas, adding dividers, removing or relocating benches, monitoring or closing picnic shelters after park hours, installing security cameras and motion sensors, and adding security lighting.

Electric or Battery-operated Equipment and Vehicles. One trend affecting parks and public works maintenance is the move toward electrification of fleet vehicles, mowers, and landscape maintenance equipment and devices. The changeover from fossil-fueled to electric power is occurring quicker than anticipated.

Beacon Counters and Geofencing. Beacon counters and geofencing can be utilized by park staff to monitor park use times and numbers. Beacon counters are simple, relatively inexpensive Bluetooth-enabled devices that detect a person’s presence through their cellphone signal and then relay that information to a central collector location. Geofences utilize RFID or GPS technology to locate people within larger open space areas. This information can be helpful in understanding how many people are using the park both during and outside of posted park hours.

Parks as Anchor Institutions. Anchor institutions are enduring nonprofit organizations that create strong social, economic, and healthy bonds within communities. Traditionally, most anchor institutions have been “eds and meds,” that is, universities and hospitals. Park and recreation systems have not often been regarded as anchor institutions. There is an increasingly strong case to include parks and leisure as a critical community support system in the top ranks of anchor institutions. Positioning parks and leisure in this way will help shape a new narrative of the value of parks and recreation to communities.

Connectivity. Many cities have set active transportation goals that include having accessible trails and greenways that connect neighborhoods and local parks. While this concept has been trending for some time, the implementation of good plans may take a community a couple of decades to implement. The cities of Davis, Chico, Visalia, and Merced are examples of communities that have established systems of greenbelts and trails over a long period.

Caltrans and partner agencies have prioritized multi-modal transportation in community improvement projects and encourage all new developments to include the concept of a connected community.

5.2 - Future Park Developments
As development occurs, the City aims to complement the new housing growth with proportional parkland. There are some tentative land development subdivisions. The location of some future parks is known as part of larger subdivisions or housing developments. The park areas that are planned within the subdivision being built should reference the amenities by park type listed within this document.

To maximize the development of parks by new developments in the community, the City should consider assessing impact fees and Quimby Act Fees (discussed further in Section 10). Doing so may assist the City in further developing new parks or improvements to existing parks that aim to accommodate population growth impacts to existing or new parks.

5.3 - Access to Parks and Facilities
To evaluate how accessible the existing parks are for the City of Exeter, an evaluation of how people might access the parks follows. Their proximity to amenities, as well as physical access, is discussed.

A goal of this plan is to allow all community members to be able to walk to a park within onequarter to one-half mile of their residence. Pocket parks may be accessed from neighborhood local streets or cul-de-sacs. Neighborhood parks should have access from local streets or collector roadways. Community parks should have access from major or secondary arterial roadways. Park sites should also be located to provide maximum accessibility from the areas to be served, meaning that they shall not be inaccessible to adjacent neighborhoods by development patterns, street layouts, block walls, or other obstructions to accessibility. The following exhibit indicates the walking distance to each park in Exeter. Overall, the vast majority of the City is within a 15-minute or less walking distance from parks.

Figure 5-2 demonstrates overlaying park locations as they relate to planned corridors and the existing bikeway network, parking, and rest areas. Because Exeter is built out with limited opportunities for off-street corridors for things like Class I trails, the City will continue to develop Class II and Class III bikeways. The City should aim to continue developing and extending existing trails that provide access opportunities to and within parks.

5.4 - Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Access
The Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA) is a civil rights law that
mandates equal opportunity for
individuals with disabilities. The ADA
prohibits discrimination in access to
jobs, public accommodations,
government services, public
transportation, and telecommunications. This Master Plan is intended to be in conformance with the City of Exeter’s Complete Streets with ADA Compliance and Active Transportation Safety Enhancement Plan (February 2022).

The California Code of Regulations, Title 24, Part 2 mandates that all publicly funded buildings, structures, and related facilities shall be accessible to and usable by people with disabilities. These regulations pertain to Exeter’s public buildings, parks, and facilities that were constructed using State, City, or municipal funds or that are owned, leased, rented, contracted, or sublet by the City. This section identifies playgrounds, access to parks, and streets adjacent to a City park that need ADA access.

Below is a summary of ADA improvement recommendations for existing park facilities.

ADA Access Evaluation for Existing Facilities
Unger Park

• Provide an accessible route to the playground and benches from the sidewalk.
• Provide accessible routes to frisbee golf tee areas.
• ADA improvements needed at curbs/intersections.

Schroth Park
• Improve access to playgrounds.
• Sidewalk needs expansion joints or to be replaced when possible. • Improve access to drinking fountains.

5.5 - Park Classifications
The Exeter General Plan does not go into detail regarding parks and their designations, meaning there is no standard for designating parks by their general size and service area.

The Exeter General Plan discusses the need for parks and open space and the opportunities that they provide. Although the General Plan does not specify the types of park classifications, it discusses that a park can include playgrounds, community recreation facilities, playing fields, and community centers. The following classification categories provide categories by which the City can classify their existing and future parks.

5.5.1 - POCKET PARKS
Pocket parks are typically open spaces of
one acre or less and generally serve a
small residential neighborhood or an
urban setting, like downtown. They
generally serve residences located up to
one-quarter mile away and are mostly
accessed by walking. They are often
developed on difficult, leftover lots that
are too small to develop. They may also be
developed around a large tree that is
being protected from new development,
as a wide greenway connecting adjacent
streets.

Pocket parks typically have minimal
improvements, such as benches, tables,
shade trees, and sometimes a playground
or a barbecue grill. Some neighboring
communities maintain pocket parks as
their own citywide landscape and lighting maintenance district. Lighting is usually provided by streetlights from adjacent streets, but supplemental lighting should be provided for security purposes if this is not the case. Larger pocket parks (between one-half and one acre) may provide restrooms, picnic tables/shelter areas, or small play areas for children.

July 22, 2025 Regular Meeting of the Exeter City Council

Page 413 ends

Draft Inventory and Needs Assessment

Parks Master Plan July 2025
City of Exeter Page 5-15
There are currently three parks in Exeter that can be classified as pocket parks. New proposed residential developments are expected to include pocket parks. • Brickhouse Park – 0.97 acres
• Joyner Park – 0.5 acres
• Schelling Park – 0.07 acres
TOTAL: 1.54 acres
The City does have smaller open spaces that
could fall into this category, but due to their
specific purpose, parks like Rose Garden Park,
Mixter Park, and Dale Sally Park will be classified
as specialty parks.

5.5.2 - NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS
Neighborhood parks typically range from one to eight acres in size. They are intended to be within walking or bicycling distance of less than one-half mile and designed to meet the needs of the local residential neighborhood and the extended community. They usually emphasize child and family-oriented activities with playgrounds and turfed open space almost always available. These parks generally have sports fields and courts, picnic areas and plazas for larger gatherings, off-street parking, perimeter walking/jogging trails, and security lighting. They can also serve as good locations for splash pads, small amphitheaters, and exercise venues.

The following would be classified as neighborhood parks:
• Schroth Park – 5.0 acres
• Unger Park – 4.7 acres
TOTAL: 9.7 acres

5.5.3 - COMMUNITY PARKS
Community parks are designed to serve
both a group of neighborhoods and the
city as a whole. While community parks
may include neighborhood park
amenities and act as neighborhood parks,
they provide those amenities on a larger
scale and often include facilities that
would not fit in with a typical
neighborhood park. Typically, the service
July 22, 2025 Regular Meeting of the Exeter City Council

Page 414 ends

Draft Inventory and Needs Assessment

Parks Master Plan July 2025
City of Exeter Page 5-16
area ranges from one mile to as much as a three-mile radius. Parkgoers typically drive to community parks, so off-street parking is required. The acreage for community parks ranges in size from eight to 26 acres. Although the City Park is only 2.53 acres, it is a focal point for the community of Exeter and is best classified as a community park, considering all the special events that have and will continue to occur at the park. Community park facilities are most often oriented towards families and adults, such as tennis courts, community centers, swimming pools or splash pads, sports fields, walking paths, picnic shelters, and on-site lighting. Community parks are ideally located on an arterial street so that traffic does not have to travel through residential neighborhoods to reach the park.

Exeter is unique in that it is considered home by the surrounding community, which may not live within city limits but considers Exeter their hometown. Community parks provide an opportunity to partner with agencies such as Tulare County to make improvements that have a regional draw. Although Tulare County does not provide the types of parks cities do, it does support and encourage improvements to existing parks that serve the needs of Tulare County residents.

The following are classified as community parks:
• City Park – 2.53 acres
• Dobson Field – 17.0 acres
TOTAL: 19.53 acres

5.5.4 - SPECIALTY PARK OR FACILITY
Specialty parks or facilities are typically used for a very specific type of recreation and usually do not involve the typical green open space that makes up a more common park.

Specialty parks can include theme parks, aquatic parks, skateparks, and indoor parks. They should have unique names so members of the community and the surrounding community find them more attractive and creative. Specialty parks are often equipped with facilities that draw special groups via creative design and amenities.

Dale Sally Park, Rose Garden Park, and Planter Park should all be considered specialty parks due to their location along State Route 65, and each of their unique uses. Gardening and demonstration gardens tend to draw more specialized groups to visit. All three parks are recommended to include increased seating to serve more as passive and informational parks. Dale Sally Park is also recommended to include a bicycle rest area.

In Exeter, Bark Park is considered a specialty park due to its unique nature. Mixter Park would also be a good example of a specialty park because of its urban nature. Each park draws crowds depending on the time of year or scheduled event. These specialty parks are the ones best suited to enter into maintenance agreements with service groups and clubs to determine if the adoption of a park might be a good fit for Exeter.

The following is classified as a specialty park:
• Dale Sally Park – 0.25 acres
• Rose Garden Park – 0.22 acres
• Planter Park – 0.07 acres
• Exeter Bark Park – 0.34 acres
• Mixter Park – 0.11 acres
TOTAL: 0.99 acres

5.5.5 - TRAILWAYS
Trailways are linear paths either surrounded by greenspace or located along a canal, waterway, abandoned rail line, or travelway. The right-of-way space is typically between 20 and 100 feet wide for a trailway. The paths usually have a concrete, asphalt, or compacted decomposed granite surface from eight to 10 feet wide. Besides the walkway and/or bikeway, trailways are usually improved with shade trees, bench seating, and trash containers. A trailway can be considered a Class I Trail under Caltrans’ bikeway classifications if it complies with certain design standards.

In the City of Exeter, there is one fully developed Class I trail along Belmont Avenue. At Dobson Field, a
decomposed granite trail surrounds the perimeter of
the field. In the proposed bicycle network, there are
many potential locations for future trails and trail rest areas. Just outside the city limits of Exeter, Rocky Hill Drive is a popular regional recreation destination for
walkers and bikers from all over Tulare County.

Throughout the public outreach process, there was a strong indication and request for trails and greenways to connect throughout the city. The Exeter Active Transportation Plan has captured community needs and plans for enhancing a network of sidewalks, bike paths, lanes, routes, and bikeways. The ATP calls for the planning and improvement of 5.97 miles of existing bike facilities and 7.5 miles of proposed bike facilities. The network would provide connectivity to key destinations (schools, parks, and civic buildings), create a system of trails, consider collision history and level of traffic stress, alignment with existing plans, and community input. The City has worked to apply for and start securing ATP grants to implement the proposed network of trailways. The City of Exeter has explored the option of utilizing Measure R funding to pay for facility enhancements to support the trail network in Exeter. Some of the proposed projects include safety enhancements such as rest areas, drinking fountains, restrooms, and lighting. As the City continues to identify funding opportunities, it is recommended that a phased order of implementation be prioritized to ensure a usable and connected network of trails is established. • Belmont Trail – 1.72 acres
• Dobson Field – 0.56 acres
CURRENT TOTAL: 2.28 acres

5.6 - Analysis of the Existing Parks System
This Master Plan recommends that the City maintain its current ratio of 5.0 acres per 1,000 residents, which, based on feedback, seems acceptable to the community. This ratio is equal to or better than that of other California cities of comparable populations.

Table 5-2 lists the current acreage of Exeter’s parks by park classification. The City currently maintains 12 parks and one trail, which is a combined size of 33.48 acres. The City currently has a population of 10,179 and 31.8 acres of developed parkland. This translates into a ratio of 3.1 park acres per 1,000 population. Table 5-3 calculates the parks’ acreage goal and need for the years 2025 and 2040 using the General Plan goal of providing 5.0 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents.

2040 14,830 74.2 42.4
To reach the goal of 5.0 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents, the City will need to focus on increasing the quantity of park acreage. The park acreage needs to increase by a total of 19.1 acres today to reach the City’s current park acreage goal, and to reach 74.2 acres by 2040. A total of 42.2 acres will be needed in addition to what exists today. Based on community input and feedback from stakeholders and the City, increasing the quality of the parks in Exeter is more important than the quantity.

As Exeter’s population grows, it is projected to reach 14,830 by 2040. The City’s expansion of the current parks system and its requirements for private developments to include parks and greenspaces within their communities, as well as paying development impact fees, would assist the city in increasing the amount of park space for new developments. However, development impact fees cannot be used to fund the ‘catch-up’ acreage for new parks.

Expansion will be difficult due to limits on funding for parks and programs. The City is currently focusing on improving their efforts in maintaining existing parks, systems, and programs with a limited budget. However, to
dramatically improve the condition and
maintenance of existing parks and acquire and
develop new parks, park funding will need to be
reprioritized or increased from other resources.

It should be noted that the public outreach
efforts indicated that residents prefer improving
existing parks first. That could mean that while
total acreage is behind the goal, the public does
not view it as an immediate problem. The City
can take the time over the next 15 years to
increase the acreage of parks methodically and
thoughtfully.

City of Exeter Page 6-1
SECTION 6 - LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS
The City will need to invest in new parkland as it grows and meets residents’ desire for additional amenities and services at existing parks. Existing park facilities and amenities need to be revisited to better serve the community, meet new trends, and provide or update the types of facilities that residents prefer to use. LOS standards are guidelines that define service areas based on population that support a city’s investment decisions related to parks, facilities, and amenities.

LOS standards were reviewed using a combination of local, regional, and national resources, including:
• 2020 General Plan Policy Document (Open Space and Conservation and Parks, Schools, and Community Facilities Elements).
• National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) 2024 guidelines. • Additional standards from Parks Master Plans from communities in the region. • Community stakeholder, City staff input, and general observations. This allows standards to be customized specifically for the City of Exeter’s parks system.

Park and recreation agencies are as diverse as their communities. What works well for one agency may not be best for every agency.

6.1 - National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) Guidelines Historically, the NRPA has created a hierarchy of park classifications and a set of acreage standards for different park classifications. For years, nationally accepted standards called for 10.8 acres of parkland for every 1,000 residents. However, by the 1990s, the NRPA relaxed that point of view, suggesting that each city establish its standard based on its growth patterns. In California, we are blessed with nine national parks, including three that are close enough for Exeter residents to visit on a day trip. So, the need for locally provided parks and open space can be less than in other areas of the country. The NRPA produces an annual report summarizing benchmark data contributed by nearly 1,100 park and recreation agencies.
• Park and Recreation Full-time Equivalent (FTEs) per 10,000 Residents—The typical park and recreation agency has 8.9 FTEs on staff for every 10,000 residents in the jurisdiction served by the agency.
• Annual Operating Expenditures—The typical park and recreation agency has annual operating expenditures of nearly $6.5 million.
• Operating Expenditures per Capita—The typical agency has annual operating expenses of $99.47 per capita.
• Operating Expenditures per Acre of Park and Non-Park Sites—The agency’s median operating expenditures are $8,260 per acre of park and non-park sites. • Operating Expenditures per FTE—The typical park and recreation agency spends nearly $111,000 on annual operating expenditures for each employee.

6.2 - Regional Comparisons
According to statistics from the Trust for Public Land (www.tpl.org), just over one percent of the land within the City of Exeter is used for parks and recreation. On a larger scale, 21 percent of residents of California live more than half a mile from a park. Sixty-one percent of Californians live in census tracts with less than three acres/1,000 residents, with the largest concentration in the communities of the San Joaquin Valley; see Figure 6-1.

Table 6-2 compares how well cities in the north, south, and central regions attain and maintain the park acreage goals identified in each of their General and/or Parks Master Plans.

Currently, Exeter is 62 percent of its goal for parkland acreage per 1,000 residents, which is on the higher end of the community’s goal of five acres but meets the goal on the lower end of existing parkland, three acres per 1,000 residents. It is also apparent that communities with higher median incomes have an easier time providing parks for their residents, likely related to the availability of ongoing maintenance costs.

In an effort to make these standards relatable and measure Exeter’s progress in park development, a number of Central California cities with recent Park Master Plans were evaluated. Specific cities that had available data were selected to establish an average LOS for each park classification. Similar criteria used to choose these cities were demographics, population, and size. The cities include Manteca, Madera, Tulare, and Los Banos; see Table 6-

Each city may have slightly different classifications for park spaces and included amenities, given each city’s uniqueness. Many factors can be attributed to a municipality’s LOSfor parks and recreation activities.

Table 6-6
Maintenance Cost Guidelines per Park Classification
Park Classification Average Maintenance Costs
Pocket Park $18,999–$21,000 per acre
Neighborhood Parks $16,000–$21,000 per acre
Community Parks $12,000–$16,000 per acre
Specialty Parks Costs vary depending on amenities
Trailways $10,000–$15,000 per acre
Per Rectangular Field 15,000–$20,000 per field
Per Diamond Field $29,000–$25,000 per field
Other Facilities $7,000 per acre
Note: Maintenance costs typically increase 3–4% annually and as high as 6% during a robust economy.

These averages indicate that current expenditures may not align with the best practice costs as recommended in the 2024 NRPA Agency Performance Review.

6.4 - Staffing Guidelines
According to the 2024 NRPA Agency Performance Review, the typical park and recreation agency has a range of FTEs on staff for every 10,000 residents living in the jurisdiction served by the agency. These employees typically make up staff for: operations/maintenance, program staff, administration, capital development, and others as needed, specific to Parks.

The City of Exeter currently has 10 full-time dedicated Public Works staff (one Public Works Director, one administrative assistant, one operations manager, one crew leader, and six maintenance crew members). These employees are dedicated to the entire needs of the Public Works Department, not only for Parks. Parks represent 20 percent of the budget allocated for one staff member responsible for maintenance.

Comparing staffing levels across agencies can be difficult, considering the level of pay, step classification, and varying job titles. Staffing levels span the median, lower quartile, and upper quartile levels of staffing by population. Table 6-7, below, shows that with the City’s current population, the FTE staffing average would equal 6.9 in the lower quartile of FTEs per 10,000 residents and 10 for its 2040 projected population. Exeter is far below the range of having adequate staffing levels to maintain their existing park system. This does not speak to the level of pay or step classification for each position.

City of Exeter Page 6-8
As Exeter’s population grows, so will parks. It is important to know that staff should increase as population increases, but the ratio of FTEs does not increase. The ratio of FTEs per 10,000 residents decreases as population increases.

For example, a city of similar size, the City of Woodlake, currently spends approximately $275,000 of the General Fund annually on park maintenance. Of that budget, 23 percent is allocated to staff salaries and benefits, and no maintenance services are
contracted out. This would be equivalent to approximately one FTE employee, and Woodlake maintains a total of five parks on 22 acres of parkland under this budget. This is equivalent to one FTE per 22 acres of land and per 10,000 residents.

In Exeter, the annual park budget is closer to $140,000 from the General Fund, excluding any contracted services. Of the $140,000 from the General Fund, approximately $13,000 (or 20 percent of one FTE) covers the cost of employees. This amount covers the entirety of the inhouse maintenance staff. With current expenditures on staffing levels, Exeter is currently maintaining 31.8 acres annually with 0.20 percent of one employee per 10,000 residents.

6.5 - Operating Expenses
According to the 2024 NRPA Agency Performance Review, the typical park and recreation agency, similar in population to the City of Exeter, has annual operating expenses of $74.22 per capita in the lower quartile of agencies. According to NRPA, median operating expenditures per capita on the upper end are closer to $263.21 per capita, and the median is closer to $135.53 per capita. Table 6-8 shows that this would come to a budget of close to $750,000 for the 2024 population and over $1.1 million for the 2040 population.

Table 6-8
NRPA Average Operating Expenses by Exeter Population
2024 2040
Population 10,179 14,890
$74.22 per capita (bottom quartile) $755,485 $1,105,136 According to the NRPA, the typical distribution of annual operating expenses is:
• Fifty-four percent (54%) for personnel.
• Thirty-eight percent (38%) for operating expenses.
• Six percent (6%) for capital expenses not in the CIP. • Two percent (2%) for others.

Exeter is currently distributing annual operating expenses as follows:
• $5,997.25 for personnel*.

City of Exeter Page 6-9
• $79,035.00 for contracted maintenance services (operating expense)*. • $40,805.00 for operating expenses*.
*The amounts are estimates from the final General Fund account expenditures of the 2024/2025 fiscal year to date as of May 2025. On a per capita expenditure, Exeter is currently spending $230,700 annually for all park expenses, breaking down to $22.66 per capita.

When comparing Exeter’s current expenditures per capita, you can draw the conclusion that there is a significant distance in the amounts being spent nationwide at agencies of a similar size to Exeter, versus what Exeter has available for expenditure. There is a strong need to have Exeter establish additional streams of funding to improve existing parks and to be able to maintain parks in the future with improved infrastructure. There is no doubt that additional revenue is needed by the City of Exeter to improve park maintenance programs, as improved processes can only provide limited cost savings.

Draft Recommendations for Renovation

Parks Master Plan July 2025
City of Exeter Page 7-1
SECTION 7 - RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RENOVATION
Design guidelines support consistency and quality in planning, building, and maintaining new and updated parks and facilities. The guidelines support the Master Plan’s vision and goals and provide greater detail on plan recommendations for future parks and park improvements. The guidelines also allow for flexibility and creativity to respond to different conditions. Current and future Exeter park facilities have unique situations, circumstances, and design challenges. The guidelines should be seen as best practices in park design for Exeter, but deviations can be made to accommodate specific circumstances. Specific recommendations for existing park improvements are made in Section 9.

7.1 - Use of Guidelines
The design guidelines should be used to discuss, review, design, and improve new parks and improvements to existing parks. Exeter should use the guidelines to measure all projects for conformance with the intent and direction of the Master Plan. Developers and builders, designers and planners, decision-makers, staff, and members of the community should all use these guidelines when considering the following overarching questions:
• Does the project exemplify the type of improvement or outcomes envisioned by the community as stated through the Master Plan vision, goals, and policies? • Will the project meet the intent of the respective park classification, with improvements that are compatible with the specific park type?

7.2 - Park Size and Location Guidelines
Park classification guidelines for size and location are recommended in Table 7-1 to ensure that future parks in Exeter are properly sized to support the appropriate amenities for their intended purpose and so they can be located along streets with appropriate traffic levels.

Table 7-1
Standard Park Acreage by Classification
Park Type Size Location
Pocket Park 5,000 sq. ft. to 1 acre One or more local streets Neighborhood Park 1 to 8 acres Two or more local streets Community Park 8 to 26 acres At least two streets, one being an arterial or collector
Specialty Park No specific size Depending on expected traffic Trailway 30 to 100 feet wide rightof-way–varies in length Preferably along streets for
visibility

7.3 - ADA Improvements Common to All Parks and Facilities ADA-compliant improvements need to be
incorporated into both new and existing parks of
all sizes. The following are the minimum
necessary improvements.
• Furnish and install ADA-compliant ramps
and pathways to playgrounds.
• Ensure that parking lots and on-street
parking meet the minimum standards for
the number of ADA-compliant parking
spaces and that there is access to the
adjacent paths of travel.
• New and replacement picnic tables, drinking fountains, and restroom fixtures should be ADA-compliant.
• Consider installing accessible playground equipment at one of the neighborhood or community parks.
• Provide ADA access from the street for all visitors, including curb cuts, ramps, and even sidewalks.

7.4 - Guidelines by Park Classification

7.4.1 - POCKET PARK GUIDELINES
The smallest park that will be classified in Exeter is the pocket park. It is defined as a small open space area serving the immediate neighborhood that can be reached on foot in approximately five minutes or less. Pocket parks are typically no more than one acre. They can be small spaces in a neighborhood, such as linear parks and paseos, protection for a large tree that predates development, or an urban public open space. Designs with a public street on at least two sides and residences facing the park are strongly preferred. Due to their central location in neighborhoods, the time it takes the City maintenance staff to visit and maintain these smaller parks tends to be on the higher side when considering the cost to maintain per acre. When the pocket park is in a residential neighborhood and is over onethird of an acre, it is likely to include a children’s playground for ages 0–5 (minimum 5,000 square feet). The park size and location should be consistent with Table 7-1, and the required and optional amenities should be consistent with Table 7-2.

7.4.2 - NEIGHBORHOOD PARK GUIDELINES
Neighborhood parks are medium-sized parks designed primarily for child-oriented and family-oriented activities. The parks primarily serve people living within an approximately one-half-mile radius of the park and are ideally within walking and bicycling distance of most users. Neighborhood parks provide access to basic recreation opportunities for nearby residents, enhance neighborhood identity, and preserve open space. Neighborhood parks July 22, 2025 Regular Meeting of the Exeter City Council

Page 429 ends

Draft Recommendations for Renovation

Parks Master Plan July 2025
City of Exeter Page 7-3
generally provide both passive and limited active recreation opportunities. Neighborhood parks should be located on at least two local streets or a local street and a collector street.

Neighborhood parks on arterial streets are not preferred. It is strongly preferred that homes face the park. While competitive sports fields may not be appropriate for this size, practice fields should be incorporated into the design. The park size and location should be consistent with Table 7-1, and the required and optional amenities should be consistent with Table 7-

2. 7.4.3 - COMMUNITY PARK GUIDELINES
Community parks provide active and passive recreational opportunities for a larger and more diverse user group. They will serve a group of neighborhoods or the City as a whole.

Typical sizes for community parks can range from eight to 20 acres. The park will serve an area ranging from one mile to as much as a three-mile radius. Access to the site should be provided via collector or arterial streets with accessible sidewalks and bicycle lanes.

Residents will typically drive to community parks, so parking spaces should be provided.

Community park facilities are most often oriented towards family and adult activities, such as tennis courts, community centers, swimming pools or splash pads, sports fields, walking paths, picnic areas, and picnic shelters. Restrooms are required, especially when a splash pad is included. These parks usually offer athletic fields and provide a venue for community athletic organizations. The park size and location should be consistent with Table 7-1, and the required and optional amenities should be consistent with Table 7-2.

7.4.4 - TRAILWAY GUIDELINES
Trails provide a linear path, usually parallel to a feature such as a watercourse, railroad, or an easement that allows access to canal/railroad trails. Trail easements can vary in width.

Trailways in Exeter serve as linear parks, often with amenities such as shade trees and other landscaping, benches, trash containers, picnic tables, dog waste stations, and sometimes exercise stations and drinking fountains. Neighborhood and community parks should be located along or near the City’s trailways where possible.

7.4.5 - SPECIALTY PARK GUIDELINES
A specialty park or facility covers a broad range of specialized park and recreation facilities, such as golf courses, sports parks, historical sites, veterans’ memorials, community centers, water parks, tennis clubs, skateparks, dog parks, community gardens, disc golf courses, and other special-use facilities. Special use sites may vary in size based on intended use. The site should accommodate special use and have necessary support facilities. Access should be provided via trailways and collector or local streets.

7.5 - Required and Optional Amenities
Table 7-2 lists park amenities and provides a recommendation on whether the amenity should be considered required or optional, depending on the type of park.
