development is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Iris Avenue and Oliver Street (APN: 486-310-038) within the Downtown Center (DC) District (collectively, the “Proposed Project”). The Proposed Project, as designed and conditioned, is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the City’s General Plan and the requirements of the Downtown Center (DC) District and the City’s Municipal Code.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Proposed Project
Master Plot Plan
The Proposed Project consists of a Master Plot Plan for the development of the 1.31- acre commercial site with eight (8) island fueling stations, six (6) vehicle charging stations, a 7,400 square foot convenience store, and a drive-thru carwash, along with the associated landscaping, and on-site and off-site improvements.

Conditional Use Permit
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 9.02.060 (Conditional Use Permits) of the City’s Planning and Zoning Code, approval of an auto service station with accessory uses including vehicle charging stations, convenience store, and drive-thru carwash located within 300 feet from a residential zone or use is permitted within the subject Downtown Center (DC) District subject to the approval of a Conditional Use Permit.

The proposed Beyond Food Mart project operation as an eight (8) island fueling station, six (6) vehicle charging stations, convenience store, and drive-thru carwash is consistent with and in compliance with the development standards, requirements, and regulations of the Municipal Code for a Conditional Use Permit, as well as the goals, policies, and objectives of the City’s General Plan.

With the exception of the proposed drive-thru carwash, the proposed Beyond Food Mart project facilities will be open seven (7) days per week and twenty-four (24) hours per day. At this time, there will be a total of twelve (12) employees covering three (3) shifts with a minimum of three (3) employees per shift. Beyond Food Mart utilizes a state-ofthe-art security system with alarms, surveillance cameras, and security lighting for security purposes. Additionally, the employees are trained and directed so that the property is walked hourly to ensure cleanliness and safety. The operating hours of the drive-thru carwash and vacuum stations will be from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Site and Surrounding Area
The Project Site is currently vacant and unimproved. The parcels directly to the north and west of the Project Site are within the Downtown Center (DC) District and are currently vacant and unimproved. The parcels to the east of the Project Site across Oliver Street are within 300 feet and developed with single-family residences within the Residential Medium Low (ML) District of the Moreno Valley Ranch Specific Plan (SP193). The parcels south of the Project Site across Iris Avenue are also within 300 F.2.p

feet and developed with single-family residences within the Residential Medium Low (ML) District of the Moreno Valley Ranch Specific Plan (SP193). The existing Kaiser Permanente Moreno Valley Medical Center is approximately 400 feet west of the Project Site.

Access/Parking
The proposed Beyond Food Mart project provides direct access via two (2) primary entrances/exits, one (1) located along Iris Avenue and another on Oliver Street. Both driveways are restricted to “right-turn in” and “right-turn out” movements for public safety purposes. The internal site circulation has been designed to adequately accommodate on-site vehicular circulation including access to the island fueling stations, vehicle charging stations, convenience store, and drive-thru carwash tunnel and vacuum stations. Additionally, the carwash drive-thru lane has been designed to provide adequate stacking for the proposed use, not to impede internal vehicular circulation.

The Proposed Project provides 48 off-street parking spaces in compliance with Section

9.11.040 (Off-Street Parking Requirements) of the City’s Planning and Zoning Code.

Design/Landscaping
The architectural design is modern with varied rooflines and projections incorporated into the façade and varying paint colors and façade material schemes to create visual interest in the structures. Incorporating articulated wall surfaces and features, as well as the island fueling station canopy design, will enhance the visual aesthetics at this intersection.

The proposed landscaping plan provides for on-site landscaping along the perimeter of the Project Site. A combination of small and large trees, various shrubs, and ground cover will be utilized on the corner of the subject site along Iris Avenue and Oliver Street to enhance the Project Site and create pedestrian-friendly features.

As designed, the proposed Beyond Food Mart project conforms to the development standards of the Downtown Center (DC) District, the City’s Landscaping Standards, and the design guidelines for commercial developments prescribed in the City’s Municipal Code.

REVIEW PROCESS
As part of the standard review process, all appropriate outside agencies have considered the Proposed Project. The Proposed Project was reviewed by the Project Review Staff Committee as required by the Municipal Code. Following subsequent revisions and staff review, the project was deemed complete.

ENVIRONMENTAL
An Initial Study was prepared by EPD Solutions, Inc. and accepted by the Planning Division Staff in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and its guidelines. The Initial Study examined the potential impacts of the proposed project on the environment. The Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) serves as the appropriate CEQA documentation for the Proposed Project. With the implementation of the proposed mitigation measures, the Proposed Project will not have a significant effect on the environment. Technical studies prepared in support of the IS/MND include the following: Air Quality Analysis (CalEEMod 2022 Outputs); Health Risk Assessment; Biological Resources Assessment; Cultural Resources Assessment; Phase I Environmental Site Assessment; Preliminary Hydrology Report; Preliminary Water Quality Management Plan; Noise Impact Study; Traffic Impact Analysis; and Vehicle Miles Traveled Screening Analysis. Copies of the appendices to the IS/MND can be accessed from the link attached to this staff report.

The documents can be reviewed at City Hall during operating hours, and online on the City’s website.

Mitigation measures are recommended for the Proposed Project in the following areas:

Air Quality, Biological Resources, and Tribal and Cultural Resources, all of which are incorporated into the Mitigation Monitoring and Report Program (MMRP). The cultural resources measures are intended to ensure that potential resources that might be discovered are protected. However, these measures are not required to address a known significant impact. Based on the Initial Study and with the implementation of the proposed mitigation measures, the Proposed Project will not cause any significant impacts to the environment.

The public comment period for the Notice of Availability of the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration began on October 13, 2023, and ended on November 2, 2023, (State Clearing House Number 2023100360) which satisfies the required 30-day review period required for this project. As of the preparation of this staff report, no comments have been received. Written comments received after the preparation of this staff report will be provided at the public hearing.

NOTIFICATION
Consistent with the City Municipal Code provisions and applicable law, public notice was sent to all property owners of record within 600 feet of the Project Site, posted on the Project Site, and published in the Press Enterprise Newspaper. Public comments received prior to publication of the report have been attached to this report.

REVIEW AGENCY COMMENTS
Staff has coordinated with outside agencies where applicable, as is the standard review process for these development applications.

DISCUSSION
KTU&A has produced a comprehensive Parks, Community Services, and Trails Master Plan that will guide the city in short, mid, and long-term projects and programs for current and future Moreno Valley residents. The plan includes community and stakeholder engagement and provides a clear set of goals for both infrastructure and program improvements, maintenance, and operations.

KTU&A completed several tasks under their agreement including but not limited to the Public Process, Outreach, Surveys, Demographic and Trend Analysis, Existing and Future Facilities Analysis of Level of Service, Prioritizing Demand and Opportunities, Analysis of Programs and Services, Progress Reporting, Action Plan, Development of Final Plans and Supporting Materials to produce a Final Master Plan.

Multiple workshops were held during the year, one in May and the other in September of 2023, to gather community input for inclusion in the final master plan. A number of focus group meetings with community groups, athletic organizations, councils, committees and commissions were also hosted to gather feedback. Of the surveys sent out to the community, 477 were completed and returned.

The proposed Parks, Community Services, and Trails Master Plan includes identified park amenities, facilities, and trail needs. It also categorizes new park opportunities and potential future park sites to help address park access gaps in the city by geographical locations. Infill Opportunity Areas have also been identified for potential parks. Other items included in the recommendations include level of service tables, implementation goals and potential funding sources.

This final version of the Parks, Community Services, and Trails Master Plan was presented to the Parks & Community Services Subcommittee on December 5, 2023, and to the Parks Community Services and Trails Committee on December 7, 2023, both which have recommended receipt, filing and adoption of the plan from City Council.

1.1 WHAT IS A PARKS,

COMMUNITY SERVICES, AND
TRAILS MASTER PLAN?
The Moreno Valley Parks, Community Services, and Trails Master Plan (Plan) is designed to guide the future of parks, community services, and trails in Moreno Valley. This Plan was developed over a year-long planning process consisting of surveys, community workshops, stake- holder meetings, park visits, and an analysis of the usage of parks, community services, and trails in Moreno Valley. An in-depth assess- ment of the current state of parks, open space, and community ser- vices was conducted to determine opportunities for improvement, expansion, and new development. Extensive community feedback was used alongside the analysis to ensure the Plan prioritizes commu- nity-identified issues, solutions, and priorities for Moreno Valley. To ad- equately serve Moreno Valley’s growing population, this Plan provides recommendations to meet the City’s park, community services, and trail needs over the next 10 to 20 years.

Parks, community services, and trails play a critical role in maintain- ing a healthy, high quality of life in Moreno Valley. Not only do parks, recreation facilities, and programming promote physical health, they also serve a special role in bringing people together to build positive memories, experiences, and relationships. This Plan recognizes the importance of an accessible, well-maintained, and diverse parks and recreation system.

The Plan is intended to help the City achieve the short, mid, and longterm visions and projects identified in the recommendations chapter.

Although the Plan does not include conceptual design plans for parks and recreation facilities, there is enough information to help City staff, elected officials, and other stakeholders make informed decisions.

1.2 PARKS AND COMMUNITY

PLANNING

HISTORY
There are several City-adopted
planning documents and programs that govern the present and future of Moreno Valley’s
parks, community services, and
trails. An extensive review of relevant plans was conducted to ensure this Plan is both consistent with and helps to advance policies and programs. An overview of the most pertinent plans and programs is provided below
for reference.

1.3.1 CITY OF MORENO VALLEY GENERAL PLAN (2021)
The City of Moreno Valley General Plan (2021) is a comprehensive, long-term planning document that assesses the City’s current conditions and plans for how Moreno Valley will grow in the future. The General Plan provides a path for Moreno Valley to achieve its aspirations for growth while maintaining its reputation as a family-friendly community for generations to come. The General Plan is guided by four overarching themes:

Dynamic Economy, Vibrant Gathering Places, Community Identity, and Livable Neighborhoods. Under these themes are a number of guiding principles, many of which are relevant to parks, community services, and trails, including, but not limited to:

Dynamic Economy
» Promote tourism and attract visitors, leveraging natural assets like Lake Perris.

Vibrant Gathering Places
» Create inviting gateways into Moreno Valley from freeways and major roadways. » Provide sports, recreation, and cultural facilities that provide a range of options for youth, families, and seniors and attract visitors to Moreno Valley.

Community Identity
» Design and program public spaces that reflect Moreno Valley’s cultural diversity. » Make Moreno Valley a destination city with a modern, innovative brand and become a model community where people choose to live, work, and play.
» Provide activities for youth and families to build community bonds.

Livable Neighborhoods
» Create opportunities for neighborhood interaction.
» Prioritize safety on roads, near schools, in public places, and in neighborhoods. » Promote active lifestyles with trail connections, parcourse courses, and other recreational amenities. » Prioritize clean air, water, fresh food, and community health.

This Element establishes a park service standard of three acres of parkland per 1,000 residents. The Element also guides the expansion of its multi-use trail system and envisions a 56- mile network expansion. The four goals of the Element are to:

1. Provide and maintain a comprehensive system of quality parks, multi-use trails, and recreational facilities to meet the needs of Moreno Valley’s current and future population.

2. Locate, design, and program public facilities as contributors to neighborhood quality of life.

3. Provide for responsive police and fire services that ensure a safe and secure environment for people and property.

4. Provide utilities and infrastructure to deliver safe, reliable services for current and future residents and businesses.

These goals, along with their supporting policies and actions, were considered throughout the planning process and integrated into the Plan’s recommendations, where applicable.

City of Moreno Valley General Plan: Environmental Justice Element (2021) The General Plan also includes an Environmental Justice Element, which sets goals to prioritize a healthy and safe environment by reducing exposure to pollution; providing safe and sanitary housing; expanding access to healthy foods; and encouraging active engagement in civic life. There are many ways for the Environmental Justice Element goals to be advanced through parks and recreation, including but not limited to the provision of safe outdoor gathering spaces, recreational programming, and opportunities to grow healthy food at community gardens.

1.3.2 CITY OF MORENO VALLEY CLIMATE
ACTION PLAN (2021)
The City of Moreno Valley Climate Action Plan guides the City’s commitment to the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as its compliance with the State’s GHG emission reduction standards.

The plan establishes a community-wide strategy for reducing Moreno Valley’s GHG emissions and will be used as a tool for policymakers, businesses, and community members for years to come. This document also advances the City’s General Plan (2021) goal to “prioritize clean air, water, fresh food, and community health.”

1.3.3 MOMENTUM MOVAL (2016)
Momentum MoVal is a Strategic Plan adopted in 2016 as an effort to bring forward a comprehensive vision to help Moreno Valley thrive as it experiences population and economic growth. This plan initiated a vision for the transformation of a young city into a mature community by creating goals for economic development, public safety, library, infrastructure, beautification, community engagement, quality of life, and youth programming.

1.3.4 KEEP MOVAL BEAUTIFUL
Keep MoVal Beautiful is a volunteer and donation program dedicated to the beautification of MoVal’s parks, trails, and streets. The program organizes community volunteer events, such as tree plantings, trash cleanups, fence painting, and more.

28.7 percent white, 17.9 percent African American, 5.3 percent Asian, and 9.5 percent of people identify as two or more races. About 60.4 percent of the population identifies as Hispanic or Latino.

Key demographic comparisons with other state and national statis- tics include: » The estimated median age in Moreno Valley is 32.3, which is slightly lower than the median age of California (37.6) and the United States (38.8).
» The estimated median household income is $79,840, which is lower than California ($84,907) and higher than the United States ($62,843).
» The population of Moreno Valley is almost evenly split between the sexes with 49.7 percent of the population identifying as male and

50.2 percent as female. The populations of California and the Unit- ed States are also roughly evenly divided between the sexes.

2.1.1 POPULATION GROWTH TRENDS
The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) projects that the population will increase by 29.7 percent from 2016 to a total of 266,800 residents by the year 2045. The number of households is projected to increase by 44.6 percent from 2016 to 76,200 in 2045 and the total employment in Moreno Valley will increase by 82.8 per- cent to a total of 64,900 by the year 2045.

2.2 PARK CLASSIFICATION
The Plan classifies the City’s
parks into five categories: Mini
Parks, Neighborhood Parks,
Community Parks, Linear Parks,
and Special Use Parks, as shown
in Table 2-1. Each park type provides standard and unique recreation opportunities.

2.2.1 MINI PARKS
Mini parks are generally smaller
parks that provide both passive
and limited active recreation.

Although they focus on passive
recreation, they play an important role in providing outdoor access to greenspace. These parks are typically less than two acres
and serve residents within a halfmile walking distance. Small picnic areas, outdoor exercise areas, and playgrounds are typical park
amenities. Other park features
may include open grassy areas,
benches, landscaped gardens,
and small shade structures. Mini
parks typically do not include
active recreation amenities such
as court sports and fields.

2.2.2 NEIGHBORHOOD
PARKS
Neighborhood parks are generally smaller parks that provide both passive and some active
recreation. Although they tend
to focus more on passive recreation, they sometimes include a few active recreation amenities
such as sports courts. Neighborhood parks play an important role in providing outdoor park
access for neighborhoods. These
parks are typically less than
eight acres and serve residents
within a half-mile walking distance. Playgrounds, picnic areas, restrooms, walking paths, and
sports courts are typical park
amenities.

PARK TYPE SIZE ACRES
Mini Park < 2 acres 0.5
Neighborhood Park 2-8 acres 102.98
Community Park > 8 acres 208.9
Linear Park (counting
25% of total acreage) Varies 10.43
Special-use Facility Varies 88.33
Total 411.16

2.2.3 COMMUNITY
PARKS
Community parks serve the daily recreational needs of the local neighborhood they are located
in, as well as the broader community at large. They are generally between eight and thirty acres in size. They consist of larger park facilities such as sports fields, pools, and multiple-court
sports, as well as playgrounds,
larger group picnic areas, and
walking paths. Community parks
serve both residents within a
half-mile walking distance and
residents within a two-mile driving distance.

2.2.4 LINEAR PARKS
Linear parks are narrow, passive
park areas that typically have
limited amenities. Recreation
opportunities are usually designed for walking, jogging, biking, or equestrian uses. Common amenities include benches, picnic tables, outdoor exercise areas, or interpretive signage. For the purposes of calculating level
of service (LOS), 25 percent of
the total linear park acreage was
calculated because the uses
within the park space are limited
to walking, biking, or other forms
of micro mobility.

2.2.5 SPECIAL-USE

FACILITIES
Special-use facilities are park
areas that provide unique recreation opportunities. They are usually limited to a single-use
recreation experience such as
a dog park, community center,
pool, or equestrian center. Special-use facilities serve both residents within a half-mile walking distance and residents within a
two-mile driving distance.

2.4 QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF

EXISTING PARK AMENITIES
POOR
FAIR
GOOD

EXCELLENT
The park amenity inventory included an assessment of the overall condition of each major amenity. The project team counted and inspected each
amenity and gave it one of four
grades: Excellent, Good, Fair, or
Poor. The team was not evaluating individual pieces of a park amenity. For example, the nuts
and bolts of a playground slide
were not inspected one by one.

Instead, the team assessed the
overall playground structure
condition based on the team’s
design and construction expertise. If interested in a greater level of detail and precision, the
City can perform an asset evaluation of all park facilities and amenities.
“Excellent” means that the
amenity is in near-perfect condition and has many years left in its life cycle. “Good” means that
the amenity is not quite brand
new, it may have some minor
signs of wear and tear but it is
functioning as it should. “Fair”
means that the amenity is functioning, but it is showing some major signs of wear and tear and
will be in need of replacement or
repair in the near future. “Poor”
means that the amenity is not
functioning for its intended use
and needs to be replaced as
soon as possible. The condition
of each amenity at each park
was averaged to determine the
overall condition of the park.

Table 2-2 shows the average
conditions of each amenity at
each park. Lasselle Sports Park
and Santiago Park were the only
two parks to receive an excellent overall condition rating, while March Field Park and Valley
Skate Park was the only park to
receive a poor overall condition
rating. Table 2-2 helps to determines which parks will require the allocation of additional resources to replace amenities in the future.

Lake Perris State Recreation
Area
The Lake Perris State Recreation
Area is operated by California
State Parks and is located on
the southeast side of the city.

The reservoir lake provides many
opportunities for recreation use,
such as fishing, boating, swimming, and water sports. The areas surrounding the lake provide opportunities for camping, hiking, bicycling, wildlife viewing, and hunting. The recreation area
also hosts events, like music festivals, throughout the year. There is an entry fee for visitors that
varies by activity type.

Box Springs Mountain
Reserve Park
Box Springs Mountain Reserve
Park is a 3,400-acre park operated by Riverside County Parks.

It overlooks the cities of Riverside and Moreno Valley. This mountain reserve is located on
the northwest border of the city.

This reserve has several miles of
multi-use trails and pathways
that vary in difficulty. Locals
enjoy these trails for hiking and
wildlife viewing. The mountain
range peak elevation is approximately 3,000 feet. There are also picnic tables and restrooms
located at the two parking areas.

2.6 EXISTING TRAILS
Figure 2-4 displays existing and
previously proposed trails in
Moreno Valley, including the fol-
lowing three popular trails:

Juan Bautista de Anza Trail
The Juan Bautista de Anza Trail
is a 1,210-mile historic route that
runs from the U.S.-Mexico border
to San Francisco and includes a
segment through Moreno Valley.

An eight-mile segment of the
trail runs diagonally through the
city from TownGate Park to Lake
Perris. The trail is mostly a multiuse path except for a small segment of Class II bike lanes
along Alessandro Boulevard and
Heacock Street. In 2022, the City
commemorated the addition of
a new two-mile trail segment
that stretches from El Potrero
Park to Lake Perris.

Sunnymead Trail
Sunnymead Trail is a multi-use
trail located on Sunnymead
Ranch Parkway and Via Del
Norte on the north side of More-
no Valley. The trail traverses
across streets before it follows
a path behind residential homes,
which creates a more enclosed
and shaded trail until it reaches
a mountain.

Cold Creek Trail
Cold Creek Trail is a multi-use
trail located east of Moreno
Valley. It is a 2.5-mile out-andback trail that leads to a small mountaintop and typically takes
about an hour to complete.

2.7 LEVEL OF SERVICE ANALYSIS
Level of Service (LOS) within the context of park planning is a measurement to evaluate how parks, open spaces, and facilities serve the Moreno Valley community. For this Plan, three different types of park LOS analysis were used to determine park LOS.

1. Population-based LOS analysis

2. Amenity LOS analysis

3. Geographic distribution LOS analysis
These three LOS analysis methods allow the project team to determine how well the existing park system is serving the community from an analytical perspective.

Population-based service analysis uses the most recent population data and existing park acres to determine LOS. The amenity LOS analysis uses existing park amenity numbers and existing population data and compares them to national averages set by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) to determine amenity surpluses and deficits. The geographic distribution level of service analysis determines the actual geographic coverage that each park serves based on the road network by creating park “travelsheds”.

2.7.1 POPULATION-BASED LEVEL OF SERVICE

ANALYSIS
The City’s General Plan (2021) established a goal to have three park acres per every 1,000 residents. Table 2-3 shows that the City is very close to reaching this goal and needs to add additional park acres to achieve it. The City’s existing park system has 411.16 acres of parkland (1.97 park acres per 1,000 people) and will require an additional 213.96 acres of parkland to provide three acres of parkland for every 1,000 residents.

While the amenity LOS serves
as a valuable indicator for identifying general surpluses and deficits, it should not be the only
indicator for identifying shortcomings of amenities in the existing parks and recreation system. It is important to cater to the unique needs of the Moreno Valley community as well as national and regional trends in
parks and recreation specific to
southern California. Trends like
handball, birdwatching, hiking,
and adventure sports like rock
climbing, bouldering, obstacle
courses, and adventure playgrounds are all currently trending and growing in popularity. These
activities are not adequately reflected in the NRPA national survey data. Therefore, it is important to have an additional lens that captures the needs and
priorities of the ever-evolving
community. This approach, coupled with the population-based LOS, can provide a comprehensive understanding of the future park needs. Detailed analysis regarding these needs will be discussed in the following sections and chapters of this Plan.

2.7.2 AMENITY LEVEL

OF SERVICE ANALYSIS
A thorough analysis of each park
was completed as a part of the
existing conditions analysis of
this Plan. This included field surveys to inventory park and recreation amenities at each park and recreation facility in Moreno Valley. Through this process, a detailed catalog of park amenities was produced. Total amenity inventory counts for Moreno Valley were compared to national averages of city-wide park and
recreation system amenities derived from the NRPA guideline service level and recommended benchmarks averages from 2008 to 2022. The calculations
are based on the latest population estimates for Moreno Valley (208,371) according to the 2021
Census American Community
Survey (ACS) 5-Year estimates.

The results of this analysis are
shown in Table 2-4.

According to the NRPA national
benchmark averages, the City
is currently meeting the needs
of several amenities including
multi-use courts (tennis/pickleball), equestrian staging areas, and golf centers. However, the
City is currently not meeting
the needs for many amenities
highlighted in Table 2-4, some
of the largest amenities deficits
include court sports like basketball, volleyball, tennis, and pickleball, as well as recreation
centers, group picnic areas, rectangular soccer fields, multi-purpose fields, splashpads/spraygrounds, community gardens, and walking loops. The full list of
amenities with inventory deficits is shown on Table 2-4.

these parks and facilities based
on a Geographical Information
System (GIS)-based travelshed
analysis. Results from this analysis are displayed in Figure 2-5. network to improve access to
parks and facilities. The GDA is
important because it highlights
the neighborhoods that do not
fall within these park travelshed
areas, which indicates that these
areas currently lack easy access
to parks.

The park’s GDA analysis takes
into account the percentage of
the population served by mini/
pocket parks, neighborhood,
community, and special-use
parks. The method used takes
into account walking or driving
distances that consider walking,
biking, and driving routes that
someone would use to get to
these parks. By using the actual
road network, this analysis calls
attention to the need to improve

WHAT IS A PARK TRAVELSHED?
Park Travelsheds
A travelshed analysis for each
park in Moreno Valley was completed to determine the geographic service area for the park system. The analysis generated
polygons representing a halfmile travelshed or 15-minute walk, given a walking speed of

2.5 mph (slowed to 2 mph to
take into account street crossings, some with signals). The half-mile travelshed polygons
were superimposed on the city
base map with residential land
uses to see which regions were
well covered by park access. The
results of this analysis are displayed on Figure 2-5.

TRAVELSHED
ROAD
PARK
A park travelshed is the result
produced from the GDA. Instead of showing a simple radius of the area surrounding a park, the GDA creates a polygon around each park that represents a distance of the actual road network from each of the park’s access points. The
travelshed polygons represent
the walking distance or driving
distance around the park.

Amenity-specific Travelsheds
The following series of maps feature park travelsheds that contain specific amenities. These maps
illustrate the geographic distribution of amenities across the city.

Figure 2-6 displays the half-mile
travelshed of parks with playgrounds. Figure 2-6 illustrates that most parks in the city contain
playgrounds and the geographic
playground coverage is relatively
the same as the park travelshed
coverage shown in Figure 2-5. Significant playground gaps exist all throughout the city.

Figure 2-7 shows the half-mile
travelshed of parks that contain
sport courts. There are many residential areas within the city that do not have sport courts within
a half-mile walk. There are gaps
all throughout the city, with the
most significant gaps north of SR
60 and in the eastern areas of the
city.

Figure 2-8 shows the half-mile
travelshed of parks with sport
fields. Figure 2-8 illustrates that
there are significant field sport
gaps throughout the city, with
significant gaps existing in the
northern and eastern areas of
the city.

Figure 2-9 shows both half-mile
travelsheds and two-mile travelsheds of indoor recreation facilities in the city. Since residents are likely to drive to larger community
facilities like a recreation center,
two-mile travelsheds were used in
this analysis in combination with
half-mile travelsheds. Gaps exist in the northern, southern, and eastern areas of the city.

2.8 PARK PRESSURE
Analyzing how the existing park system is serving the current population is important because it can help determine priority areas within the existing travelshed for new parks or park renovations in the future. It is assumed that these areas of high deficit will continue to worsen in the future as additional development and population growth occurs and no new parks are added to the park system.

2.8.1 EXISTING PARK

PRESSURE
Figure 2-12 shows that many
park travelsheds in the city fall
within the deficit category because they have a large number of residents with fewer park acres available to them. These
are shown as the red, orange,
and yellow colors. Areas around
Bay Side Park, Weston Park, Patriot Park, and Parque Amistad have greater park pressure due
to the higher density of residents living nearby. These parks are more likely to experience

Park pressure is a modeled analysis of park size and accessibility to demonstrate how park usage
or “pressure” varies in different
parts of the city. Park pres sure is
based on the residential population density within the half-mile travelsheds of each park. This
process assumes that residents
use the park that is closest to
their home.

Each park centered in a travelshed offers a unique amount of acres per the number of residents in the covered travelshed.

The estimated number of potential park users within each travelshed is based on population data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The acreage of each
park was used to calculate the
number of park acres available
per 1,000 residents within the
travelshed. The City’s established goal of three park acres per 1,000 residents was used as
the basis of the park pressure
model, shown in Figure 2-11. Areas may have a surplus of acres per 1,000 residents or a deficit
based on the residential density
around each park.

the lack of park acres relative to
the number of residents living
nearby.

The dark to light green areas
represent where pressure on
the parks is lighter because the
parks have a greater acre-to-resident ratio. In other words, bigger parks with fewer residents in close proximity experience less
park pressure. Areas around the
Juan Bautista Trail, Equestrian
and Dog Park, Westbluff Park,
Celebration Park, and Fairway
Park have less park pressure.

2.9 PARK EQUITY
1 PolicyLink. (2021). Advancing Park Equity in California. https://www.policylink.org/sites/default/ files/pl_brief_ca-parks-equity.pdf
Despite the widespread and
well-documented benefits of
parks and open spaces to health
and well-being, in many cities
across the United States, these
benefits are not distributed eq-
uitably. Studies show that racial
and socio-economic factors
play a role in the provision, dis-
tribution, and quality of parks in
many cities across the nation. In
2021, The Trust for Public Land
reported that neighborhoods
where residents predominant-
ly identify as people of color
have access to an average of 44
percent less park acreage than
predominantly white neighbor-
hoods, and low-income neigh-
borhoods average 42 percent
less park acreage per person
than high-income neighbor-
hoods. The Trust for Public Land
also revealed that parks in com-
munities of color are, on aver-
age, five times more likely to
be crowded and half the size of
parks that serve white popula-
tions. Similarly, parks that pri-
marily serve low-income house-
holds are, on average, four times
smaller than parks that serve a
majority of high-income house-
holds. Studies have also shown
that in addition to having access
to less park acreage, low-income
communities and communities
of color tend to have access to
poorer-quality park spaces with
less recreational programming.
1 Recognizing systemic inequities
in park access and quality is in-
tegral to creating an equitable
park and recreation system for
Moreno Valley. The City’s Gener-
al Plan (2021) established goals
for addressing community-wide
injustices and determined that
the City should target invest-
ments in public infrastruc-
ture, including recreational fa-
cilities and programming to
benefit disadvantaged com-
munities in Moreno Valley. Dis-
advantaged Communities refer
to State-identified communities
that experience combined high
levels of economic, health, and
environmental burdens. As dis-
played in Figure 2-13, Disadvan-
taged Communities in Moreno
Valley are generally concentrat-
ed in the more densely populat-
ed areas in the western areas of
the city, close to the freeways
and major transportation corri-
dors.

Disadvantaged Communities
with Limited Park Access
Figure 2-14 highlights areas
where residential areas with lim-
ited park access overlap with
disadvantaged communities.

The yellow areas in Figure 2-14
show residential neighborhoods
that are not within a half-mile
(or walking distance) of a park to
demonstrate areas with limited
park access. The areas outlined
in red show residential neigh-
borhoods with limited park ac-
cess that are also designated
as disadvantaged communities.

Figure 2-14 shows that the ma-
jority of disadvantaged com-
munities also experience limit-
ed park access, indicating that
park deficiencies disproportion-
ately affect underserved neigh-
borhoods. To address system-
ic injustices, invest in Moreno
Valley’s disadvantaged commu-
nities, and advance City-adopt
-
ed policies in the General Plan,
the areas featured in Figure 2-13
and Figure 2-14 should be priori-
tized for any park improvement,
enhancement, or development
projects.

2.10 RECREATION PROGRAMS

2.10.1 CURRENT PROGRAMS AND SERVICES OFFERINGS
As described earlier in the Chapter, the City has many parks and facilities. Most recreational programming is hosted at one of the four community facilities:

Cottonwood Golf Center, Moreno Valley Senior Center, Moreno Valley Conference and Recreation Center, and TownGate Community Center.

Moreno Valley CRC is the primary meeting facility in the City and provides over 42,000
square feet of flexible event and
reception space for the community to use. Most non-outdoorsports and non-senior programming is held in the CRC. The CRC is located at the Civic Center in
the “downtown” or central government services area of Moreno Valley. The Cottonwood Golf Center, the TownGate Community Center, and the Senior Center are additional recreational facilities used to provide specialized programming for specific demographics or areas. However, due to the large size of Moreno Valley
and the limited number of recreational facilities, it is challenging for the City to offer programming close to where many residents live.

Recreation Facilities
The City provides recreational
programming through its Parks
and Community Services Department in the various recreational facilities and parks it owns. Funding to support
programming is primarily from
special taxes paid by property
owners through the Community Services District, which is one of several established special financing districts in Moreno Valley. The City is one of the largest municipalities in the area
and provides a robust recreation
program with multiple programming options for residents.

Recreation Program
Popularity
Tracking the most popular recreation programs currently offered by the City provides critical insights into program successes and areas for improvement. Table 2-5 displays the top 15 recreation programs based on registration totals for 2022. In 2022, the most popular programs
were: Winter Youth and Teen
Basketball Leagues, Shito-Ryu
Youth Karate, and Time for Tots.

Recreation Program Capacity
Program registrations were also
analyzed to determine which
programs met or exceeded registration capacity. This analysis evaluates program success based on the desired number
of attendees compared to the
actual number registered. In
recreation, the ideal number of
program participants varies by
program type, such as a summer camp with hundreds of
participants, or an art class with
10 to 20 participants. As such,
a percentage fill rate is a more
insightful method to evaluate
program success because it is
based on more than total registration numbers alone.

Table 2-6 lists the programs
that, on average, had a registration percentage that exceeded the expected capacity in 2022.

Programs over 100 percent capacity are highly anticipated and enjoyed by the community. Top programs include dance programs, youth and teen basketball, day camps, cheerleading programs, and art programs. To
meet community demand, the
City should continue offering
and consider adding more sessions of programs that continually meet or exceed capacity.

2.10.2 POPULAR RECREATION PROGRAMMING IN MORENO VALLEY
Based on an analysis of recreational programming data for Moreno Valley in 2022, the programs with the highest interest and participation from community members are:
» Youth sports (specifically basketball and cheerleading) » Dance classes (Ballet and Exploration Classes)
» Youth camps (Day Camps and Summer Camps)
» Toddler programs
» Martial arts (Shito-Ryu Karate)
» Special events
Currently, these programs are the most successful and should continue to be provided to the community and considered for future expansion, as needed. Additionally, community feedback indicates that there is high interest in expanding sports, teen, and gardening programs in Moreno Valley.

Sports Leagues
The City offers several youth
and adult recreational sports
leagues. These include basketball, t-ball, soccer, and softball for various age groups. These
leagues are all included in the
City’s programming options
for the year, and as previously
shown, are typically some of the
largest attended programs provided by the City. Beginning in Fall 2023, the City will also be offering youth golf classes, which will teach participants the basics of the sport.

Teen Programs
There is an interest in expanding the City’s teen programs to increase interest and participation. The City already provides many teen programs and is actively working to attract more participants. However, because
most of these programs are
hosted in the CRC, they are hard
for many teens to access due to
transportation barriers. Providing additional satellite locations for teen programming and/or
offering transportation options
would make programs more accessible to teens and boost participation.

Community Demonstration
Garden
The City’s Community Demonstration Garden hosts programs that teach gardening skills and
best practices. Community
feedback indicates a growing
interest in broadening the programming provided at the Community Demonstration Garden and expanding the types of gardening practiced on site to and creating additional demonstration gardens to other areas in Moreno Valley.

2.10.3 POPULAR RECREATION PROGRAMMING NATIONWIDE
The NRPA has published an Agency Performance Review that documents programming offered by parks and recreation agencies across the country. The results of the review included the percentage of agencies that perform specific types of programs. The examples provided show various programs that fall under each category. The data includes agencies of all sizes in various regions to illustrate that the City is providing elements of programming that are popular in agencies across the country. With the exception of aquatics and safety training, the City offers all of the program categories to Moreno Valley residents. » Themed special events (offered by 90 percent of comparable agencies) » Earth Day, Flag Day Parade
» Social recreation events (offered by 88 percent of comparable agencies) » Card games, dances

2.10.4 RECREATION PROGRAMMING ANALYSIS
A review and analysis of the City’s recreation programming and staffing was conducted to compare the City to nationwide data collected in the NRPA Agency Performance Review. » Nationwide Programming Assessment: The City’s recreation programming was compared to nationwide recreation programming data to assess if major programming areas commonly provided across the nation are offered in Moreno Valley. » The general programming analysis compares general programming areas, such as team sports, special events, and aquatics, based on a set of variables, designed through NRPA’s research, to compare communities of similar size. These variables are park acres, number of parks, population, and region.

This assessment allows an ‘apples to apples’ comparison between Moreno Valley and similarly sized communities.
» The specific programming analysis is very similar to the general programming analysis, but with a deeper dive into types of programming. This table compares specific types of programming, such as Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), summer camps, and specific senior programming. » Regional Programming Comparison: In addition to a nationwide programming assessment, a regional programming comparison was conducted to compare the City’s program offerings to local agencies in the same region.

How to Understand
Table 2-8 & Table 2-9
Look at the row for
“Themed Special Events”
as an example. Themed
special events are provided by 92 percent of
communities with similar
park acreage, 93 percent
of communities with a
similar population size, 93
percent of communities
with a similar number of
parks, and 94 percent of
communities in the same
region as Moreno Valley.
90 percent is the average
percentage of these four
variables and provides a
comprehensive look at
the percentage of communities similar to Moreno Valley that provide themed special events.

The check mark under
Moreno Valley indicates
that the City provides
themed special events.

Nationwide Programming Assessment
An assessment was conducted using NRPA Agency Performance Data to compare Moreno Valley’s general and specific program offerings to the offerings provided by other parks and recreation agencies. To facilitate a fair comparison, the agencies included in the assessment have a similar number of parks, park acreage, and population as Moreno Valley.

General Programming Assessment
Table 2-8 lists the general programming types included in the NRPA Agency Performance Review and shows which programs are provided by the City alongside the percentage of comparable communities that provide the same program and is broken down by several variables.

The general programming analysis shows that the City compares favorably to most entities with similar circumstances. However, the City does not currently provide aquatics or safety training programs, like some other comparable agencies. Aquatics programs are not provided due to a lack of aquatic facilities owned or utilized by the City. Aquatics programs require specialized facilities, such as a pool or aquatic center, which the City currently does not have, or strategic partnerships with an entity that does. The City can consider finding qualified instructors to provide safety training programs for the community.

Specific Programming Assessment
Table 2-9 displays an analysis that compares specific programming provided by the City to comparable national entities. The analysis shows that the City provides the majority of specific programs geared towards youth, adults, and seniors, including summer camps, which are one of the most popular programs provided across the nation. The only specific program not provided by the City is full daycare, which is rarely provided by agencies with similar circumstances to the City.

Table 2-10: Program Comparison with Local Recreation and Parks Organizations In comparison to similar communities nearby, the City provides a diverse offering of programming
activities that compares well to
the types of programs offered
in neighboring jurisdictions. For
example, Moreno Valley offers
programming that is not provided by most neighboring jurisdictions, such as adaptive and inclusive programs for persons
with disabilities and virtual programs that can be attended remotely or from home.

As mentioned previously, one
area that the City could improve
is the provision of aquatics programming, which would require the construction of a new specialized facility or a partnership with another entity with an
aquatic facility. An aquatic facility would require a feasibility study to determine community
interest and desire for an aquatics facility, and if community demand is high enough, a decision to invest in the development.

2.10.5 RECREATION

STAFFING ANALYSIS
The City currently has 74 fulltime equivalent (FTE) staff in the Parks and Community Services
Department. This includes divisions for Parks and Landscape Maintenance, Community Services (recreation), Special Events and Facilities (including sports),
and Administration and Financial Services. For the purposes of programming, there are 28
FTEs with a focus on programming in the Community Services and Special Events Division.

In the analysis of programming
for the City’s parks and recreation program, staffing levels were reviewed to determine if
current program staffing meets
established industry standards.

The NRPA Agency Performance
Review was used as the basis
for the analysis. This analysis reviews parks and recreation agencies nationally and provides data sets based on qualifiers such as
population and park acreage.

This dataset is based on staffing
percentages and total staffing
in parks and recreation departments in a geographic region.

Using this data, comparable cities have between 42.78 (lowest quartile of agencies) and 144.15
(highest quartile of agencies)
FTE staff in their parks and recreation departments. Within this same dataset, there are
between 14 (lowest quartile of
agencies) and 47 (highest quartile of agencies) FTE staff dedicated to programming activities.

Specific staffing levels are primarily dictated by the type and number of programs offered and
must be continually adjusted to
address programming modifications. The current programming staffing is within average staffing requirements for programming of similar parks and recreation agencies.

2.10.6 RECREATION FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The City has budgeted approximately $10.5 million for recreational activities, which translates to $50.40 per capita. The City’s primary sources of revenue for Parks and Recreation are:
» User Fees: These are fees charged by the Department for specific classes, programs, camps, and rentals offered within Moreno Valley.

These generally help to fund employees, contract instructors, and basic program materials and supplies.
» Special Financing Districts: The City has several special financing districts, including Community Services Districts (CSDs) and Community Facilities Districts (CFDs). CSDs and CFDs are specialized limited funding sources that help pay for initial and ongoing costs for recreation and maintenance needs based upon a specific assessment amount. These districts are specifically assessed to residents of a specific geographic area and are only applicable to parks and recreation needs within that geographic area.
» Tax Revenue: This refers to property and sales tax revenue that is used to supplement funding that is not covered by the items aforementioned. It can be used for operations, staffing, and infrastructure as needed. » Grants, Sponsorships, and Donations: This refers to grant funding, sponsorships, or direct donations provided to the Department to help fund specific programs or activities. These are not consistent annual streams, but typically more program or activity-generated revenue streams.

Together these revenue streams help fund the Department. The Department charges fees for a variety of services – youth sports, adult sports, golf, senior activities, and facility rentals. Figure 2-15 shows the types of revenue streams by major service areas that can help fund various services and programs.

As shown in Figure 2-15, more specific functional areas, such as contracted classes or facility rentals, can generally be user fee funded, whereas more community service-based programs, such as sports activities or youth camps, are funded by a mix of sources. While other services, such as cultural events or senior services, are primarily funded by tax revenues.

As the City continues to offer different programs, programming revenues should be evaluated on a program-by-program basis. Table 2-11 displays total revenues, expenditures, differences between revenues and expenditures, and the cost recovery percentages for each major spending category.

Overall, the City is only recovering approximately 18 percent of its costs or, in other words, under-recovering its costs by approximately $8.7 million. Cost recovery and deficit vary by program area. For example, some areas have a higher cost recovery, such as Golf at 41 percent and Sports Programs at 78 percent, while other areas have low-cost recovery such as Community Events at 2 percent and Community Services at 3 percent. Maintenance activities typically are very low-cost recovery because revenues are not related to services provided.

Table 2-11: Cost Recovery of Major Spending Areas
The City has a detailed fee schedule and structure based on resident and non-resident rates, as well as extensive rental rates. While the City updated its fees in 2023, it should regularly review the fee structure to ensure that fees reflect the current program and rental facility popularity.

In addition to annual operating needs, the Department has a robust capital program dedicated to building new facilities and expanding and improving existing facilities. Capital projects are funded through CFDs, which are more project or geographic-specific. CFDs can help pay for both initial infrastructure costs, as well as the ongoing maintenance and operations of those facilities within the area.

Taxes and grants, along with sponsorships and donations, help fill the funding gaps needed for both operations and capital projects. While tax revenue is typically not restricted, grants and sponsorships, along with donations can be specific to programs and/or specific activity types. The City has done its best to utilize grant funding and donations to help offer programs. The City should continue to explore these opportunities and utilize alternative funding sources as appropriate.

2.11 RECREATION TRENDS
Recreation program trends can
vary over time and may be influenced by changes in societal preferences, technology, and
other factors. While the City
already offers a diverse range
of recreation programming, as
trends continue to change over
time, the City should continue
to remain open to new concepts
and adapt recreation programming to meet evolving community desires.

2.11.1 NATIONAL
TRENDS
The 2023 Sports, Fitness, and
Leisure Activities Topline Participation Report from the Sports and Fitness Industry Association
(SFIA) highlights national recreation trends. The report indicates that participation in recreational activities in the U.S. has increased for the fifth consecutive year, rising 9.2 percent from 2017 and 1.9 percent from 2021.

During 2022, 77.6 percent (236.9
million people) of United States
residents participated in at least
one recreational activity, roughly
20 million more people than in
2017. Now more than ever, people are prioritizing recreational activity and bouncing back from
all-time lows recorded before
the COVID-19 pandemic.

The number of totally inactive
people decreased for the fourth
consecutive year with 22.4 percent (68.6 million people) of United States residents being
inactive. Inactivity in every single age group decreased, except for 18 to 24-year-olds and 25 to 34-year-olds, likely due to
life changes brought on by the
COVID-19 pandemic, like enrolling in college and having children. Similarly, inactivity rates See Table 2-12 to Table 2-17
for a closer look at national
trends in the following areas:
» Fitness Sports Trends
» Team Sports Trends
» Individual Sports Trends
» Racquet Sport Trends
» Outdoor Activity Trends
» Winter Sports Trends
for every income level decreased
by more than 3 percent in 2022,
indicating that people are investing more in physical activity more than in previous years.

Recreation Trend Highlights
» Pickleball continued to be
the fastest-growing sport in
America with participation
almost doubling in 2022.
» Trail running and day hiking
participation increased for
the fifth consecutive year.
» Every racquet sport increased
its participation from the previous year for the first time since 2015.
» Golf and tennis continue to
maintain momentum with 9.7
and 4.3 percent participation
increases in 2022, respectively. Both sports have grown over 20 percent since 2019.
» Basketball, soccer (outdoor),
football (flag), and football
(tackle) all saw three-year total participation increases of over 4.5 percent with basketball seeing the highest threeyear increase of 13.0 percent. » Personal combat sports like
martial arts, boxing for fitness, MMA for competition, MMA for fitness, and wrestling all posted participation increases in 2022.
» Barre and Pilates showed solid participation increases in 2022, while yoga decreased
for the first time in the last
decade. All have strong threeyear participation increases with yoga and Pilates increasing over 10 percent in the last three years.
» Camping, fishing, and bicycling activities recovered to 2020 participation levels after showing slight decreases in 2021.
» Group fitness-based activities continued to struggle, but showed some signs of recovery with boot camp style training, cardio kickboxing,
and stationary cycling (group)
experiencing participation increases in 2022.
» Health club-based activities
continued to struggle. Elliptical motion/cross-trainer, stair-climbing machine, stationary cycling (recumbent/ upright), and weight resistance machines all had participation decreases last year, and are down over 10 percent
compared to 2019 numbers.
» Most team sports displayed
a significant decrease in regular/consistent participants while seeing significant increases in casual participation. Outdoor soccer was the only team sport that saw a
participation increase in regular/consistent and casual participants.

Generational Trends in
Recreational Activities
Activity participation and preferences tend to vary based on several demographic factors,
but can also differ based on
generational preferences. Figure
2-16 displays three-year participation categories across different generations. Overall, the top two most participated activity
categories for every generation
were fitness and outdoor sports.

Baby Boomers (1945-1964)
Enjoying retirement, they are looking for opportunities in fitness, sports, outdoor activities, cultural
events, and other activities that
suit their lifestyles. In particular,
Baby Boomers lead all other generations in increased participation in racquet sports.

Gen X (1965-1979)
At the peak of their careers and
raising families, Gen X had the
biggest participation increases in
racquet, water, and team sports.

Programming additional sports
leagues would bring benefits to
this age group.

Millennials (1980-1999)
Millennials are a social and driven
group with an interest in balancing wealth, work, and play. Similar to Gen X, Millennial participation
increased the most in water, racquet, and team sports.

Gen Z (2000+)
Gen Z is a tech-savvy generation with diverse interests. Gen Z participation increased the most
in water and racquet sports, while
overall participation in team
sports is higher than all other
generations.

2.11.2 LOCAL TRENDS
Household Participation in Team Sports
Figure 2-17 displays estimated sports participation in Moreno Valley based on data from ESRI Business Analyst. This data uses national pro- pensities applied to local demographic composition to estimate the relative likelihood of adults and households in the specified trade area to exhibit certain consumer behavior. According to ESRI Business Ana- lyst data, it is estimated that 27.8 percent of all sports participants in Moreno Valley participate in basketball, followed by 18.3 percent par- ticipating in soccer, and 14.2 percent participating in tennis. The top team sports played in Moreno Valley are similar to national trends. The SFIA report shows that nationally, basketball and soccer are two of the top five team sports based on participation numbers. Additionally, the two sports had the highest increases in participation over the last three years out of all team sports (13.0 and 9.3 percent, respectively), indicating that interest in these sports continues to grow nationally, as well as locally.

Household Participation in Recreation
Figure 2-17 shows recreational activity participation in Moreno Valley based on data from ESRI Business Analyst. Walking for exercise is by far the most popular activity in Moreno Valley, followed by hiking, weight lifting, swimming, and jogging/running. Other recreational activities that ranked highly in Moreno Valley include road bicycling, yoga, and aerobics. Recreational activity trends in Moreno Valley indicate a high interest in physical fitness, which aligns with national trends. The SFIA report shows that the majority of active individuals in the U.S. partic- ipate in fitness sports (>65%), compared to lower participation rates in individual, outdoor, racquet, team, water, and winter sports. The City can accommodate community interest in these recreational activities by increasing related amenities, such as trails, bicycle lanes, and out- door exercise equipment, as well as related programming like fitness classes, guided hikes, group runs, and bicycle rides.

Community Workshop #2
November 9, 2023
Engaging Moreno Valley community members in the planning process was critical to the development of a Plan that accurately reflects community needs and desires. A comprehensive
community engagement strategy was developed to facilitate a collaborative planning process
and gather meaningful input
from residents, stakeholders,
and City staff. Outreach methods used to collect community input included community workshops, stakeholder meetings, a statistically valid survey, social media promotions, and
online engagement through the
City’s website.

The target audience of community engagement efforts was anyone who lives, works, or plays
within in Moreno Valley. Additional emphasis was placed on under-served communities that
disproportionately lack easy and
comfortable access to parks,
open spaces, and other recreation facilities.

3.3 COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS
Three community workshops were held between May 2023 and November 2023 to engage community members in a participatory planning process for the Plan. The workshops enabled community members to engage in the planning process and provide direct input on current and future park needs. Some items mentioned by participants in the workshops had not been captured by other forms of community engagement, which reinforces the importance of in-person participatory planning opportunities in reaching different audiences.

3.3.1 COMMUNITY WORKSHOP #1: VISION, OPPORTUNITIES,

CHALLENGES, AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
The first workshop was held on May 3, 2023, at the Moreno Valley Conference and Recreation Center. The workshop served as an official kick-off for the Plan. The planning team presented an overview of the planning process and initial findings from the citywide park inventory.

After the presentation, participants split into small groups to discuss the following topics:
» Current usage of existing parks
» General conditions of existing parks
» Overall satisfaction with current park experience
» Value placed on parks and recreation amenities
» Collective vision of the future park system
The most common comments from participants were related to the following topics:

1. Park Lighting and Safety

2. Park Connectivity and Safe Access

3. Nature and Open Space

4. Community Centers and Programming

5. Equestrian Facilities

6. Arts, Culture, and History

7. Park Maintenance

8. Additional Park Amenities

3.3.3 COMMUNITY WORKSHOP #3: DRAFT

RECOMMENDATIONS
The third and final workshop was held on November 9, 2023, at the Moreno Valley Conference and Recreation Center. The planning team presented draft recommendations to the workshop participants in a public workshop setting. The team shared a summary of findings from the previous workshop activities and existing conditions analysis and then presented the draft recommendations. Participants were then given opportunities to provide feedback on and potential revisions to the draft recommendations through a series of open-house activities.

Workshop participants expressed the most interest in addressing the following four categories within the draft recommendations: » Improvements to Equestrian Center » Additional and Improved Trail Connections » Interest in All-Inclusive Programming and Events » Additional Facilities Feedback related to improvements to the equestrian center includes the addition of intersections with light signals, a nature center, an out- door stage/amphitheater, fencing, picnic areas, a community garden, a tot-lot near a dog park, natural trails, and designated maintenance staff.

Additional and improved trail connections were requested through comments that consisted of the desire for improved trails with pas- H.3.a
Packet Pg. 2830 Attachment: Moreno Valley Parks, Community Services & Trails Master Plan Draft 2023 (3) (6486 : RECEIVE, FILE AND ADOPT PARKS, COMMUNITY OUTREACH 79
sive parks, east-west trail connections in northern Moreno Valley, a greenway trail network around the city, SR-60 multi-use trail crossings, and north-south trail connections to link Lake Perris to the Moreno Valley Equestrian Center.

The interest in all-inclusive programming and events includes desires for an international film festival, new youth/teen programs, programs for people of all ability levels, and a community health/wellness center.

Lastly, community members expressed the need for additional facilities, such as a new library in the central-east area, a museum, a small-scale amphitheater, and a performing arts center.

3.4 STAKEHOLDER FOCUS GROUPS
Focus group meetings with key stakeholders were conducted during the summer of 2023. The goal of these meetings was to gather input on the needs and desires of target community groups. This input, in combination with other community feedback from the survey and workshops, was used to guide the recommendations provided in Chapter 4. A series of questions were asked during each of the stakeholder meetings and some of the collective themes and responses are summarized on the following page.

3.5 COMMUNITY SURVEY
Surveys were used to collect community input from residents and other park users on City parks, recreation facilities, amenities, future planning, communication, and more. The survey was designed to yield results that could assist the City in developing a plan that accurately reflects the needs, wants, and desires of the entire community. The survey results were analyzed and incorporated into the development of this Plan.

Two samples were collected in the survey effort:
» Statistically Valid Invite Sample (259): Paper surveys were mailed to a random sample of 4,500 residential households in Moreno Valley with instructions for how to complete the survey through a password-protected web link. An additional 4,000 reminder postcards were also sent to encourage residents to take the survey. Out of the 4,500 paper surveys mailed to Moreno Valley households, 259 surveys were completed.
» Open Link Sample (218): An online survey was shared widely through social media, City newsletters, and other promotional activities with the intent to reach as many Moreno Valley residents as possible, as well as non-residents who may use Moreno Valley parks and recreation facilities. 218 Open Link surveys were completed online.

Together, the two samples provide a useful source of community input on Moreno Valley’s existing parks and recreation facilities and programming, as well as the need for future improvements.

3.5.1 SURVEY RESULTS SUMMARY
Figure 3-1 to Figure 3-5 present a snapshot of survey results as a comparison of responses from both the Statistically Valid Invite (Invite) sample and the Open Link sample. In general, responses from the Invite sample are similar to those from the Open Link sample, which indicates a general consensus in the community on various park and recreation-related topics and ideas. Complete survey results are provided in Chapter 5.

A total of 81 percent of the Invite sample and 68% of the Open Link sample say it takes less than 10 minutes to get to a park from their home.

Mode of Transportation: Most respondents drive a motor vehicle to get to the park they most frequently visit. However, 21 percent of the Invite sample report walking/running or rolling.

Most Used Facilities: Parks, trails and pathways, and the Recreation Center are the most frequently used facilities provided by the City.

Most Important Facilities: Community/neighborhood parks and open space/natural areas are the most important recreation facilities and services to both samples. However, their rating for meeting the needs of the community is lower than other facilities.

Top Ways to Increase Park Usage: The top three ways to help increase the usage of parks and recreation facilities are to improve safety and security, add more lighting, and enhance and maintain existing parks and facilities.

Future Priorities: The top future priorities for both samples are improved amenities, additional open space/natural areas/trails, and more community/neighborhood parks. When given a choice between natural resource preservation/protection and active recreation, respondents generally would prefer Moreno Valley pursue natural resource preservation/protection.

Trail System Priorities: Accessible walking trails and soft-surface hiking trails are the most important priorities for improvement within the City’s trail system.

Communication: Respondents rated the communication efforts from Moreno Valley as moderately effective. The most preferred forms of communication for the Invite sample include the City’s newsletters, Soaring Activity Guide, and emails.

Program Participation: About a quarter (25 percent) of Invite respondents had participated in Moreno Valley Parks & Community Services-led programs in the past 12 months. The top reason for participation in facility location.

Top Ways to Increase Program Participation: To help increase the use of Moreno Valley Parks & Community Services programs, respondents prefer better condition/maintenance of parks or facilities and more programming opportunities that appeal to adults.

4.11 FUTURE LEVEL OF SERVICE WITH EXISTING

PARK SYSTEM
The population of Moreno Valley is projected to grow significantly by the year 2045 due to expected economic growth and development, bringing physical and demographic changes to the city. The population is expected to grow by 29.7 percent to a total of about 266,800 and the number of employment opportunities is expected to nearly double, increasing from 35,500 to about 65,000. These changes will bring new needs to the City’s parks and recreation system. It is assumed that the new population will use the City’s existing parks and facilities, which will add demand to the existing park system. This section analyzes how the projected growth will impact the City’s parks and recreation system and identify where park acreage and amenity deficits are expected to increase.

4.11.2 FUTURE PARK

AMENITY LEVEL OF

SERVICE
Table 4-2 uses the 2045 population projection to determine future amenity surpluses and deficits in the overall park system.

Using the future population projections, all of the amenity deficits increase. Table 4-2 assumes that the City does not add additional park amenities between now and 2045. Every amenity will
be in a deficit by the year 2045 if
the City does not add new amenities. This analysis highlights the need for additional park amenities at existing parks and for new parks to be more highly-amenitized for more efficient use of space at parks.

Section 4.13 of this chapter
identifies potential opportunity
areas at each park and recommended amenities for each existing park site.

4.11.1 FUTURE POPULATION-BASED LEVEL OF

SERVICE
The projected population growth will also bring changes to the population LOS by the year 2045. If no new parks were to be added to the City’s park and recreation system by the year 2045, the park acres per 1,000 residents would decrease to -1.46 park acres per 1,000 residents, leaving the City 389 park acres short of reaching its goal of 3 park acres for every 1,000 residents (Table 4-1). The City will require additional parkland to address its current park deficit and to prepare for future population growth.

4.12 FUTURE PARK AND TRAIL RECOMMENDATIONS
Many areas throughout Moreno Valley are undeveloped, a unique and advantageous scenario for a city of this size. The following section identifies seven potential sites that can be developed into future parks.

These sites are located on City-owned vacant properties or on properties slated for redevelopment. The sites vary in size, from 7 acres to 43 acres, but they have the opportunity to offer residents a variety of park amenities that can address the existing park access and amenity deficits discussed in Chapter 2.

The City will need to develop individual park master plans to properly identify the challenges and opportunities each site offers. Through this process, the City will be able to design community-driven park master plans that reflect the unique character of the neighborhood, address missing park amenities, recognize the importance of maintaining open space, and assess unique challenges such as the protection of wildlife, sensitive habitats, or historical resources.

4.12.1 PARK

RECOMMENDATIONS
Park A - Marlborough Property -

43.2 acres
This park site is located in the
northern region of the city off Perris Boulevard. This park site was previously identified in the Moreno Valley General Plan (2021) and could potentially add up to 43.2
acres to the existing park system.

The terrain at this site varies but
provides a great opportunity to
design a large, passive park that
has amenities and features such
as trails, picnic areas, playgrounds,
gardens, outdoor exercise equipment, educational spaces, or habitat restoration areas.

Park B - Moreno Valley Mall Redevelopment Park - 5.52 acres The existing Moreno Valley Mall
is slated to undergo redevelopment in the future. This is an opportunity to design a park
space that is approximately 5
acres in size. A new park in this
location would provide residents
and shopping mall visitors a fun
and unique recreation opportunity. Park amenities such as playgrounds, splash pads, picnic
areas, or educational spaces can
be incorporated. Redesigning
shopping malls to include park
elements has been a strategy
many cities and developers have
used in the past decade. This
strategy has resulted in positive
outcomes for both the owner of
the site and the residents that
get to spend time in these spaces.

Park C - Ironwood Ave and Davis
St - 12.8 acres
This site is located off Davis
Street, just south of Ironwood
Avenue. This 12.8-acre site could
potentially provide a variety of
new park amenities that would
benefit the surrounding neighborhood and the City at large.

The terrain is relatively flat which
allows for an easier approach
to designing amenities such as
sports courts and fields, playgrounds, picnic areas, walking paths, a restroom building, and
outdoor exercise equipment.

Park D - Alessandro Blvd and
Day St / Edgemont - 8.2 acres
This City-owned vacant land is
located off Alessandro Boulevard
and Day Street. The surrounding
neighborhood is one of the oldest
in the City and residents currently do not have access to a park that is within a half-mile. A new
park in this neighborhood would
provide residents access to amenities such as a playground, picnic areas, court sports, walking path, splash pad, or outdoor exercise equipment.

Park E - Cottonwood Ave and
Perris Blvd - 9.24 acres
This park site is located off Cottonwood Avenue, just east of Perris Boulevard. This 9.24-acre
site can provide residents from
the surrounding neighborhood
access to a variety of park amenities such as a playground, picnic areas, court sports, walking path, a couple of youth-sized
sports fields, or outdoor exercise
equipment.

Park F - Morrison Park Expansion - 7.0 acres
Developing the open land located southwest of Morrison Park will help expand access to new
amenities. Specific recommendations are identified in Section

4.13.13 of this chapter.

Park G - Redlands Blvd and
Brodiaea Ave - 8.19 acres
This site is located off Redlands
Boulevard and Brodiaea Avenue.

This 8.19-acre site is relatively-flat, open space that would allow the City to design amenities such as sports courts, a couple of
youth-sized fields, a playground,
picnic areas, walking paths, a
restroom building, and outdoor
exercise equipment. Wayfinding
and interpretive signage would
also help residents learn about
the surrounding open space and
trail opportunities.

4.12.2 TRAIL

RECOMMENDATIONS
The trails shown in Figure 4-2 are
the proposed multi-use trails
that build upon the City’s Bicycle
Master Plan (BMP) (2014), MoVal
2040 General Plan, Master Plan
of Trails (2018), and World Logistics Center Specific Plan (2014).

Many of these proposed trails
connect to existing parks and
open space, providing additional forms of transportation and helping close gaps in the existing
trails network.

The proposed trails are either
paved Class 1 multi-use trails,
such as the Juan Bautista de
Anza, or natural surface trails
that can be used by bicyclists,
pedestrians and equestrians.

Many of these trails are located
near the perimeter of the City’s
boundary and connect to regional destinations such as Box Springs Mountain Reserve, Lake
Perris Recreation Area, Riverside
County open space, and the San
Jacinto Wildlife Area.

The recommended multi-use
trails are meant to connect to
other existing trails, such as the
Juan Bautista de Anza trail, and
to close gaps such as between
Rancho Verde High School and
Moreno Valley College along the
perimeter of Lake Perris Recreation Area. These types of trails could provide both recreational
and commuting forms of travel
for residents to enjoy.

The City and the surrounding area
are home to unique resources and
trails to these open spaces can
showcase the local geology, landform, and habitats. For example, Box Springs Mountain Reserve
provides incredible views of the
region while Lake Perris provides
access aquatic recreation.

It is important to note a large
open space area that is located
in the northern area of the city.

Donkeyland Rescue is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to protecting wild burros and their habitats. Their private
property creates a large east-towest barrier for those wishing to connect to City destinations
via trails. There have been previous attempts to develop nature trails through this property that strike a balance between
providing access to open space
areas in Riverside County while
protecting the goals of Donkeyland Rescue. The City is encouraged to continue conversations with Donkeyland Rescue to determine the best strategies to develop trails that respect each
others’ initiatives.

The community engagement process allowed residents to identify trail-related priorities:
» Increase warning signage and traffic calming for burro crossings » Implement the trails identified in the World Logistics Center Specific Plan » Connect trails from the northwest Moreno Valley into County open space » Develop a trail wayfinding program
» Analyze adding a traffic signal at Redlands Boulevard and Locust Avenue » Analyze adding signalized equestrian crossings
» Explore adding nature center or community garden in the northeast quadrant of the city Photo credits to Moreno Valley Trailseekers

4.13  OPPORTUNITY AREA ANALYSIS
Making efficient use of existing park space is incredibly important when designing or redesigning parks. This section identifies underutilized park areas within existing parks and suggests recommended amenities for these infill areas. If these recommendations were to be implemented, the City could help address amenity deficits identified in Chapter 2 and help fulfill additional needs identified by the community.

4.13.1 OPPORTUNITY AREAS ANALYSIS
The opportunity area analysis determines undeveloped or underutilized areas within a park and suggests park amenities that can potentially fit based on the square footage of the area. Each park with an opportunity area is shown alongside a table of potential amenities, supporting text, and a key map highlighting potential recommendations. The table identifies what kinds of amenities can approximately fit in the opportunity areas based on square footage and dimensions.

The amenities with an “X” indicate a need based on park amenity deficits and geographic distribution of park amenities identified in Chapter 2. The amenities listed at the top of each table (highlighted with a star) are based on community input and the analysis completed in chapter two of this Plan. The City is encouraged to explore the best options for each park and is expected to use this section of the Plan as a guide to determine which amenities to design and construct over the next ten years.

Parks with no opportunity areas and therefore not included in this analysis are Civic Center Amphitheater and Park, Fairway Park, Hidden Springs Passive Nature Park, Lasselle Sports Park, March Field Park, and Santiago Park.

Public Input on Opportunity Areas
Giving residents an opportunity to share their ideas for potential new park amenities at these opportunity areas was a priority during the community engagement process. Participants at the second workshop were given the opportunity to vote on their most desired amenities. These votes were tallied and integrated into the final amenity recommendations for each opportunity area.

ANALYSIS
Sunnymead Park is a community
park located near the center of
the city. The park is bisected by
a flood control channel, but connected by a pedestrian bridge.

Even though the park is mostly
used for its four lighted baseball
fields, the park has other amenities, including a playground, picnic areas with barbecues, concession stands, and restrooms.

Two opportunity areas were
identified at the northwest side
of the park. Amenities to be considered include a community garden, an outdoor exercise area,
group picnic areas, and a basketball court. Community gardens are recommended here due to
community need and proximity
to multi-family housing where
residents may not have access
to private outdoor space for a
garden. Moreno Valley currently
lacks basketball courts, which is
why one is recommended here.

RECOMMENDED PROJECTS
It is important to evaluate how the potential new park sites can affect the level of service analysis described in Chapter 2. The following section analyzes the improvements to both the population-based level of service and the geographic level of service for the projected 2045 population. Although these improvements do not completely fulfill the park level of service goals previously outlined, they do have the potential to make a significant impact to the City’s parks and recreation system.

4.14.1 FUTURE POPULATION LOS WITH RECOMMENDED NEW PARKS The proposed seven park sites would bring an additional 94 acres which would help decrease the projected park acre deficit in 2045 from 389 acres to 296 acres. This would also bring the City to a 1.89 park acres for every 1,000 residents status, as shown in Table 4-3.

Future Geographic LOS
Figure 4-28 displays the seven
potential new parks, the existing
park system, and the half-mile
travelsheds for both the existing and potential future parks.

This map shows that the seven
potential new parks will help fill
several geographic travelshed
gaps in the western, northern,
eastern, and central areas of
Moreno Valley. The potential new
park travelsheds are displayed
as an orange shade and the existing travelsheds are displayed as light green shade on the map.

Although the seven new parks
do make a positive impact, there
are several more geographic
gaps that the City will need to
continue to focus on. The City is
encouraged to pursue purchasing additional land for new parks in these gap areas.

Community feedback included the desire for additional facilities such as a new library, performing arts center, amphitheaters, a museum as well as park spaces such as a wilderness park, a nature center, passive park spaces, and trails with outdoor fitness areas. The City is encouraged to continue to search for new park and facility opportunities in these priority areas. The City may consider purchasing vacant land from private owners or creating partnerships / joint-use agreements to bring new park access to the residents.

4.16 IMPLEMENTATION GOALS
The following section outlines short, mid, and long-term goals the City can explore to improve the parks and recreation system. They are based on the feedback collected from the community as well as the initiatives discussed earlier in this chapter.

Short-Term Goals
Short-term project goals are those that can typically be implemented within a one to two-year time frame.
» Improve park safety and security by adding items such as lighting, new fencing, or security cameras.
» Replace play equipment that has been identified in poor condition. » Identify all sports fields maintenance needs and implement low to mid-cost renovations such as fencing, seating areas, or small areas of surface replacements (sod or decomposed granite).
» Identify and add low-cost passive park amenities such as picnic tables, bench seating, community gardens, or small walking paths. » Conduct a study to analyze intersection improvements for trails and equestrian users as well as where to add animal crossing signage. » Identify four locations for new dog parks (no less than 1-acre in size) » Offer additional recreation programs and classes that surpass 100% registrations such as: Dance Exploration, Summer Youth and Teen Basketball, Valley Day Camp (11-14), CYSC All Stars Cheer, Valley Day Camp (7-8), Ballet/Acro, Winter Youth and Teen Basketball, and Art Expression.

Passive Amenities
Field Maintenance
Dog Parks
Park Master Plans
Shaded Amenities
Court Sports
Multi-use Paths
Mid-Term Goals
Mid-term project goals are those that can typically be implemented within a two to five-year time frame.
» Develop individual park master plans to help identify low to mid-cost park amenities (i.e. picnic areas, playgrounds and playground surfacing, or shade over existing playgrounds). » Identify and add shade (trees or structure) to key amenities such as playgrounds, picnic areas, and grouped exercise stations. » Identify all sports fields maintenance needs and implement mid to high-cost renovations such as lighting, large seating areas (bleachers) or large areas of sod/artificial turf enhancements.
» Design and install basketball, volleyball, tennis, and pickleball courts to help address the City’s deficits identified in Chapter 2. » Develop an aquatics center master plan to identify the location and amenities a large aquatics center can offer.
» Design and construct up to four new dog parks.
» Design and install multi-use trails that help close gaps between existing trailheads or provide direct access between destinations such as schools, parks, and commercial centers.
» Perform a detailed facility and asset conditions assessment to determine deferred maintenance. » Conduct a feasibility study to identify private sites that can be purchased and converted to park land.
