AGENDA REPORT
TO: The Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Christine Adams, Director of Community Servic
DATE: October 17,1994
SUBJECT: Consider Conceptual Design for Downtown Park Site
II-E s
This item was previously discussed at the Regularly Scheduled meeting of
the Parks and Recreation Commission on Monday, October 3, 1994.
At that meeting, the Commission reviewed the conceptual design as
presented by Mr. David Volz, of Harris & Associates, contracted by the City
to develop the conceptual design.
Following this presentation, the Commission took public comment from the
audience in attendance. Representatives from the Moorpark Estates, the
existing housing development that will be to the west of the new
development and park site were present to address the Commission. The
comments from those present were positively in favor of the park and the
proposed design, but overall had a concern regarding adequate parking at
the site.
Representatives from Little League were also present. Little League is in
need of additional fields, but expressed that two smaller fields than those
proposed would satisfy their needs. Little League also indicated financial
and in -kind support for the development of this park site.
The Commission voted to table this item to a special meeting on October
17. Prior to that meeting, the Commissioners were to meet at the
downtown park site on Sunday, October 9, in conjunction with their
scheduled park tour, to make modifications to the park site based on
public input.
On October 9, the Parks and Recreation Commission met at the downtown
park site with some of the local neighbors and made the following changes
to the park conceptual design:
• Reduce the size of the south baseball field to that of the size of
the north field.
• Move the north field so that the backstop would also be near
the Chaparral Middle School property fence.
• Increase open space on the west side of park.
• Retain the amphitheatre design.
• Create an additional parking lot to the southwest of the park
site.
This information has been forwarded to the Mr. Volz who will incorporate
these changes into a design for the Commission to view and to recommend
to the City Council.
Staff has been in discussion with Ventura Pacific Capital Group, the
developer for the commercial site, regarding shared parking at the
commercial site for the park, and access from the south parking lot into the
commercial center. Staff will have a verbal report on this at the meeting
on October 17.
The Commission should review the park conceptual design as presented
and take any additional input from the public regarding their desires for
the park. The Commission should come to an agreement about what
amenities should be in the park, based on public input, and formulate a
recommendation for City Council.
That the Parks and Recreation Commission consider the conceptual design
for the downtown park site, take public input, and recommend a design to
the City Council for their review.
