7.1. Parks & Recreation Master Plan Presentation (Gates & Associates):
Ex-Officio Andrade introduced the item, which is a presenration is regarding the Parks & Recreation Master Plan that has been under development since 2012. This overall plan has taken several years since there were other master plans that have also been under development for the past decade Dana and Linda from Gates and Associates presented the item to the Commission.
Linda Gates from Gates & Associates led the presentation and provided a thorough background and overview ofthe Parks & Recreation Master plan project which dates back to the adoption ofthe City's General Plan that looked into projected growth for the next 30 years. The update ofthe City's General Plan would take the ciry from a 20,000 population to 60,000 population (tripled in size). This would require the city to look into forward planning. looking into various comprehensive studies including transportation, stormwater, parks and recreation. and other areas needed to address needs for the community as it grows.
Commissioners and staff thanked Gates and Associates for their presentation. Ex-Officio Andrade recommended to the Commission to review and provide comments on this document as well as show support fbr the approval. The plan would be going to City Council for formal adoption as this document would serve as a guide lor future groMh. Also encouraged them to participate and attend the Council meeting during the adoption of this important document.
Commissioner Cooper asked regarding the acreage shown in the master plan. She was asking if the storm basins were included as part ofthe acreage. Linda Gates explained that the storm basins are given a ratio as these have multiple uses and can't be used 100% as part facility. They are designed as dual use facilities.
Commissioner Cooper also questioned if development pay their fair share for the costs ofthese new facilities or if they only donate the land or pay fbr any playground equipment. etc. Linda Gates explained that development is required to do two things I ) donate the land and 2) pay fees to develop the park facilities. Ifthey don't have land to donate, they are required to pay higher fees. The fees are established and adjusted to ensure that they are updated reflect current costs although this sometimes does take time and can lag at times.
Chair Fernandez did ask when it would be a good time for the Commission to reach out to the Council. Presentation only covered an overview of what is included in the Master Plan document and identified whar the needs and visions are for the future facilities. A copy ofthe Parks & Recreation Master Plan document and presentation will be uploaded to the City's project website as well as the City's website $ ww.c i.patterson.ca. us Per Dan Falk. from Cates and Associates advised that this is the DRAFT document that has not been released for public review. There will be a public comment period, where the public and the commission will have the opportunity to review and comment. This process will allow for the master plan to be updated to address any comments received before it is adopted.
