CITY MANAGER' S REPORT
DECEMBER 8, 2025 CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING
ITEM: APPROVE THE 2025 AMENDMENT OF THE

RIVER ISLANDS PHASE TWO PARKS AND OPEN

SPACE MASTER PLAN
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt a Resolution to Approve the 2025
Amendment of the River Islands Phase Two
Parks and Open Space Master Plan
SUMMARY:

The Parks and Recreation Commission recommend City Council approve the 2025 amendment of the River Islands Phase Two Parks and Open Space Master Plan that was presented at the Parks and Recreation Commission Regular Meeting that was held on November 6, 2025. The proposed amendment to the River Islands Phase Two Parks and Open Space Master Plan allows for dwelling units and layout adjustments, a park amenity study and simplification with the design phase for each individual park and neighborhood as development occurs.

BACKGROUND:

The River Islands Parks and Open Space Master Plan is intended to provide a network of master planned parks and open spaces throughout the River Islands development.

The park locations along the river provide opportunities to experience the river in multiple ways. The Parks and Open Space Master Plan incorporates spaces that are woven throughout the River Islands community, at varying scales, to support an assortment of passive and active recreation. Several types of sports fields, ample opportunities to enjoy nature, and both pedestrian and bicycle circulation are included throughout the community.

In June of 2021, the City approved the River Islands Phase Two Parks and Open Space Master Plan for the River Islands Modified Phase Two Project. A total of 230.9 acres in the River Islands Modified Phase Two area are devoted to a variety of parks. The parks, in and around the developed areas, include neighborhood parks, community parks, linear parks ( trails), and pocket parks. There are also over 272 acres of other open space areas, including levees, drainage swales and protected wetlands.

In August of 2023, the City approved a Substantial Conformance request from River Islands Development LLC., for the Woodlands East District. The application for Substantial Conformance with VTM 6716 was submitted to include various modifications to the road alignments, lot size, and for the two Neighborhood Parks N5 and N7 which increased in acreage from 5. 39 to 7. 8 and 5. 12 to 5.4, respectively, and increased the size of lake L14.

In March of 2024, the City approved a request from the River Islands Development CITY MANAGER REPORT PAGE 2

PARKS AND OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN
LLC., to build, own, and operate an auxiliary gym, utilizing 0. 91 acres of the land previously designated as the future C2 Community Park, resulting in a reduction of the park from 22. 50 acres to 21. 59 acres for the benefit of the new River Islands High School.

In September of 2025, the River Islands Development LLC., requested an amendment to the August 2, 2023, amendment. The proposed amendments to the River Islands Phase Two Parks and Open Space Master Plan simplifies the document to allow for the following:

Dwelling Units and Layout Adjustments
Changes to the number of dwelling units and expected population led to revisions in the overall development layout. The result is a change in some park locations, park sizes, and total acreages. As a result of these layout changes, two neighborhood parks ( N3 and N4) were consolidated into a single larger neighborhood park ( approximately 5 acres larger in size than the two smaller parks), to align with the geometry and use of the area. The plan still complies and exceeds Quimby Act requirements for parks and open space.

Park Amenity Study
A study was conducted to align park amenities with current population trends and community recreational needs. Some design elements were reduced or removed, such as dedicated sports fields, in favor of multi -purpose facilities that better meet community needs.

Simplification for Flexibility
Individual Park amenity listings were combined into a standard park format to simplify the planning document. This allows for flexibility in the design phase for each individual park and neighborhood, while still maintaining a minimum standard for compliance with park typology minimum requirements and performance benchmarks. A standard list of minimum amenities is now identified for each park type ( community/ neighborhood), rather than specifying amenities for each park area. The changes to the master plan do not reduce the quality and acreage of coverage of recreational amenities, but rather ensures that the park facilities are well -distributed, flexible, and responsive to the community' sevolving needs.

The proposed changes remain to be consistent with the Quimby Act for required park acreage. Pursuant to the Quimby Act, the project is required to provide approximately 161. 87 acres of neighborhood and community parks. The amended Phase Two Parks and Open Space Master Plan is compliant with the Quimby Act by providing approximately 167. 76 acres of parkland total.

staging area location due to its proximity and access to the levee trail. If equestrian access is required prior to development of the staging area, an interim location can be determined to provide parking, potable water access and other amenities necessary.

3. 7 PLANTING
Plant materials for all parks and open
j spaces will be selected from Table 3. 1 -
r1 - Parks & Open Space Plant Species List.

S Alternative species may be substituted
or added and will be considered on a
project by project basis by the agency
listed in Table 4. 3 - Agency Review Table.

Substitutions will be based on the suitability
of the species in terms of similarity of theme,
characteristics, size, form, tolerance of
climatic conditions, soil requirements and
water usage. Plant species have been
selected to mimic existing characteristics
and habitat of the delta waterways and
vegetated agricultural hedgerows. Plant
material selection will strongly consider
the use of drought -tolerant, durable
and long-ived species that give the
appearance and imagery of the Delta
Valley. Species are well adapted to the
climatic conditions and soil types typical
of the River Islands Development. Large
naturally shaped flowering shrubs species
should be selected to mimic the image of traditional hedgerows typical of the surrounding agricultural region. Flowering species that create year- round interest are of high preference. Plant and tree selections do not include invasive characteristics, such as: surface roots that can spread, creating trip hazards or that can be destructive to surrounding curbs and walks, species that produce large wind blown seed varieties that become invasive or destructive, varieties that are extremely allergenic and varieties with toxic properties that can be digested by humans or animals.

C Levee trail access points
While fruiting varieties of trees or shrubs may hearken to the true agricultural use of the River Islands project, the use of such species can create maintenance challenges and become problematic as litter creating rodent or pest problems. These species will be avoided except in specific locations where maintenance and control can be exercised. Plant selections have been determined based upon natural shape of species with minimal pruning or maintenance. Shrubs will be used as a screen for fences or utility structures in parks and open spaces. Evergreen plant material as a background is preferable to maintain year- round screening, however, the usage of decorative deciduous plant species is desirable and recommended with care being taken to maintain year- round interest and structure.

Spacing of plant material will be made based upon the species being utilized to create fullness and allow for ultimate growth impact.

The use of traditional " lawn" species and spaces will be limited to parks and public open spaces that encourage active recreational use. When " lawn" species are utilized, varieties will include deep rooting species that use less water than traditional varieties. The use and application of "lawn" species will follow the guideline and requirements set for in AB1881. Where bio- swales will be incorporated, species will be selected that filter and slow the movement of water from curb inlets to drain inlets. Species will be tolerant of flooding and will be irrigated to maintain an alternative appearance year- round.

Tree varieties have been selected to imitate a rural Delta Valley aesthetic. Evergreen varieties will be used to frame and give additional interest year- round to selected areas. Flowering or accent trees will be selected for year- round interest through flower characteristics, branching patterns, bark color and shape.

Connecting parks to their users is an important piece of increasing community investment and use of parks facilities. Best practices typically involve locating new parks centrally within a neighborhood or adjacent to other community amenities, such as schools or community centers, in order to increase visibility and use. Alternately, locating walkable streets and bicycle paths to connect parks with other community hot spots provides alternative access for users who cannot or do not prefer to drive. The same efforts may be made to align public transportation stops with parks, in an effort to coordinate parks and trail heads adjacent to public transit.

In the case of River Islands, geographically adjacent amenities such as schools, town center, lakes, and the rivers are opportunities for establishing walkable, bike - able connections. A non -vehicular option to navigate these sites and others within the community might encourage users to walk or bike between natural and cultural amenities firsthand rather than driving between each. Establishing and utilizing levee trails and connecting them to park locations helps establish a non -vehicular connection in River Islands.

Easy pedestrian and non - motorized access to the levee trail is crucial to the concept of a walkable community. Multiple off -site parking options will be available for access to the trail for those who need to travel to an access point for vehicle or horse off- load.

An equestrian staging area is proposed near the transit oriented area due to its ample space and access to the levee trail. These off - site access locations, designated with appropriate signage, may be included at Community Park C1, the transit oriented development area, the employment center, and at the high school site.

3. 10 ACCESS AND INCLUSION
ADA and Beyond Planning for inclusion
Trends in park development nationwide are beginning to include varied recreation opportunities such that all members of a community may enjoy public recreation facilities. It is standard best practice to comply with all local and federal guidelines for universal accessibility in public spaces per the Americans with Disabilities (ADA) regulations. New projects and retrofits to existing parks and facilities must seek to include all members of the community. In addition to complying with ADA standards for basic accessibility, park designs may include standards from the California State Parks Accessibility Guidelines in order to increase accessibility to its facilities for all users.

Recreation amenities such as walking paths may include signage and wayfinding for persons with visual impairment, while play areas may include accessibility options for caregivers with varied levels of physical ability. Play areas should include solid impact -attenuating surfaces in order to ensure a safe path of travel for all users.

Universal Design and Social Inclusion
In more recent years, park features have moved toward including universal access, social inclusion, and sensory integration to include everyone. Incorporating these elements increases the parks' ability to attract many unique users and increases the functionality of the amenity. Parks and recreation amenities which encourage participation by all residents and visitors, regardless of physical or mental ability, demonstrate investment in the public.

Playground areas provide children space to develop essential emotional, social and physical skills. Therefore, these spaces should include elements appropriate for supporting all facets of childhood development in a safe environment. Cutting -edge studies of children and nature suggest a myriad of benefits in integrating opportunities for spontaneous learning with natural systems into playgrounds.

Examples may include non -programmed areas consisting of varied topography and surface materials, planting of trees within the playground space, flexible play space edges to encourage play to extend to other natural areas of the park. As a valuable experience in childhood development, nature play may be explored as a signature resource to be developed.

Social equity in parks refer to a person' sability to access health and wellness benefits associated with using the park. Universal design enables groups in society who struggle with physical or mental abilities to fully access and utilize parks and recreational spaces. The following six areas of park design contribute to creating socially inclusive spaces with universal accessibility and sensory integration.

1. Facilities: parking areas, pathways, restrooms, public buildings, and access to water.

2. Parking: provide more than the minimum ADA requirements for parking spaces. Provide accessible parking throughout the park and located near inclusive play areas. This provides numerous access points available to all users.

3. Pathways: Exceed ADA width guidelines Wider pathways allow for easier group access and multiple wheeled devices like wheelchairs and strollers.

4. Restrooms Locate restrooms near ball fields and inclusive play areas. Include family restrooms large enough to house a full- size changing table, and large enough for a caregiver to attend to a full- size adult.

5. Splash Pads: Access to pools and water areas can benefit individuals with different disabilities. Splash pads are a great way to provide easy access to water. Actuators should be planned for locations and heights that are accessible.

6. Playgrounds: Children with disabilities are one of the largest under served minority groups in our nations. 8.9% of children between the ages of 3 and 21 years old have a disability. Of these, approximately 1.% will have a physical disability, 1.% will have a sensory disability, 19.% will have a communicative disability, 11. 2% will have a social/ emotional disability, and 53. 9% will have an intellectual disability. Additionally, 2.% will have multiple disabilities and 10.% will have chronic health impairment such as cancer.

4. 1 CITY OF LATHROP PARKS AND OPEN SPACE GENERAL PLAN REQUIREMENTS The Lathrop General Plan calls for a network of open spaces which include neighborhood parks, community parks, and recreation corridors that run along waterbodies or connect major components of the overall park system. This system will in part follow along boundary levees and sloughs as well as the river system, and be made up of pedestrian and bike trails, open space and formal parks. Irrigation of open spaces will implement recycled water distributed through a purple pipe system to reduce the amount of potable water used. Some parks will be adjacent to schools to maximize their usefulness for the community, while others will be standalone parks separate from educational facilities. Wildlife habitat including wetlands have been created to enhance natural habitat, which will aid in resource management of the planning area.

Condition 116 of Vesting Tentative Map 3694 requires a minimum number and size ( in acres) of various recreational facilities for Phase 1 of River Islands. The City of Lathrop has had the discretion to substitute certain facilities to provide more flexibility in programming. For instance, a multi -use field may be constructed to accommodate both softball and baseball, but credit could be given for the specific facility shown in Condition 116. Parks that were designed and built as a part of Phase 1 development included mandatory elements required by Condition 116 or otherwise required by the City, and " additional recreational facilities", facilities that were not required by condition of approval. Phase 2 acreages and facilities/ amenities have been calculated and determined separately from the Phase 1 development and will stand apart from any Phase 1 development requirements. Phase 2 requirements are outlined below in Tables 4. 1 and 4. 2.

Community and neighborhood park acreages for Phase 2 were used to calculate and meet the State' s minimum parkland dedication requirements. Neighborhood Parks must be provided at a rate of 2 acres per 1, 000 population and Community Parks at 3 acres per 1, 000 populations. The population is estimated by using 3. 0 persons per household.

The following table summarizes the minimum acreage requirement and shows that the minimum r quirement has been met for Phase 2.

In situations where the acreage exceeds the Quimby Act requirements, individual parks may be reduced in size at a later date as long as the functionality of the park is maintained. Additionally, if unit count increases or decreases, the population estimates may also change accordingly which will further alter the total park acreage requirements up or down.

4. 3 DISTRIBUTION OF EXISTING PARKS AND FACILITIES
Current maps of River Islands parks were studied based upon established measurements of user walkability and recommended park programming to determine new park locations for Phase 2. Smaller neighborhood parks service the immediate surrounding neighborhood with the minimum being Y4 mile radius up to Y2 mile radius. Larger community parks have a larger service radius
with the range of Y2 mile to 1 mile radius.

Figure 4. 1 shows most areas within Phase 1 and Phase 2 are covered within the 1/4 mile radius, and all areas are serviced within h mile. As can be seen all areas within Phase 2 fall within the 1/2 mile service range for neighborhood parks, most areas falling within a'/ 4 mile radius.

The National Recreation and Park Association ( NRPA) has long been an organization relied on for guidelines and instruction regarding best practices for parks and open spaces. In 2019 the NRPA published an Agency Performance Review document providing benchmarks for suggested amenity counts based on residents per square mile. Table 4. 2 reflects the number of amenities proposed for phase 2 based on the NRPA' s
published recommendations and Table 4. reflects which parks they are located in.

4. 5 PROPOSED PARKS & OPEN SPACE SYSTEM
The parks and open space system depicted in this chapter were developed following multiple meetings and reviews of park system components with City of Lathrop staff. In order to clearly identify the components of the system maps were created and are included in this chapter as follows:

4. 6 PRELIMINARY PARK CONCEPT PLANS
In order to identify intended locations of required and additional park elements throughout the development, preliminary concept plans have been developed for all Quimby Act related community parks and neighborhood parks. In addition examples of potential pocket parks, and linear parks have also been shown which will be built by River Islands, but not intended to be built in order to meet Quimby Act requirements. All concepts are simple concepts to convey basic park ideas and are not to be misconstrued as final designs. As each neighborhood is developed the park designs will be revisited and adjusted to meet specific neighborhood, budget, and recreational needs. Any changes to the park locations, acreages, or amenities must be approved by the City of Lathrop prior to construction. Modifications to park locations, acreages and/ or planned amenities shall be reviewed and approved by the City of Lathrop prior to construction. Amendments to this Parks & Open Space Plan shall be reviewed and approved by the City of Lathrop.

4. 7 CITY OVERSIGHT & DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
There are many types of open spaces and recreational facilities incorporated into the River Islands Phase 2 development. While the development is located within the City boundaries, portions of these open spaces are owned by Reclamation District 2062 RD2062) and all parks and open space are maintained by the River Islands Public Finance Authority ( RIPFA). The following table has been provided to clearly delineate the required reviews to be completed by each agency, for each open space type.

The following descriptions describe the review typology listed in Table 4. 3.

Comprehensive Review - Comprehensive review refers to plan review for construction level improvement plans. Prior to Improvement Plans, a Site Plan for Neighborhood Parks and Community Parks shall be reviewed and approved by the City and Parks & Recreation Commission. These plans are typically reviewed and signed by the Public Works Department, Parks Recreation Department, and the Lathrop Manteca Fire District. The City may determine which departments are required for review based on a project by project basis.

Courtesy Review - A courtesy review of construction level improvement plans by the Public Works Department for open spaces owned and maintained by RD2062 and/ or RIPFA but not in the public right of way.

Utility Only Review - A review by the Public Works Department of construction level utility plans only, for spaces owned and maintained by RD2062 and/ or RIPFA.
