Resolution No.
STOCKTON CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2025 PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER FACILITIES PLAN On February 23, 2021, a Professional Services contract was awarded to Harris & Associates, Inc., via Resolution No. 2021-02-23-1502, to prepare a Public Facilities Fee (PFF) Nexus Study and the development of Master Infrastructure Plans; and Harris & Associates, Inc. identified sub-contractor, O’Dell Engineering, to prepare the Parks and Recreation Master Facilities Plan, attached as Exhibit 1; and The Parks and Recreation Master Facilities Plan (Master Plan) is part of this broader citywide infrastructure planning initiative that includes evaluation of current assets, levels of service, and recommendations for future investment and expansion; and The Master Plan will directly inform the Public Facilities Fee (development impact fee) Nexus Study, required by California Government Code section 66000 et al., known as the Mitigation Fee Act, which mandates a clear connection or “nexus” between the collection of new development impact fees and the improvements they are intended to fund; and The Master Plan will help establish this nexus by defining parkland facility needs based on Stockton’s population growth, service level standards, and land acquisition and development cost estimates; and The City of Stockton will use this Master Plan as a guiding document to quantify the park and recreational facilities (and PFF fees) appropriate for development as local conditions continue in accordance with the Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STOCKTON, AS FOLLOWS:
The preparation of the 2025 Parks and Recreation Master Facilities Plan is exempt pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan, General Plan, or Zoning), and no further environmental review is required. Future projects, however, will have their own environmental review to address any project-specific significant effects.
The 2025 Parks and Recreation Master Facilities Plan conforms with the Envision Stockton 2040 General Plan Update.
The 2025 Parks and Recreation Master Facilities Plan is adopted by the City Council.
The City Manager is authorized to take whatever actions are necessary and appropriate to carry out the purpose and intent of this Resolution.
PASSED, APPROVED, and ADOPTED September 9, 2025 .
