Aquisition for use as a possible park site would be contingent upon aquisition of all four parcels. E. Zoning for all parcels is R -1, however, one of the properties is part of a larger piece of property. The balance of the piece of property is zoned R -E. 3) The third site (site 3 on map) deemed most appropriate for a park site is Gisler Field. Presently this area has a project proposed on a portion of this site which would require a land dedication requirement of approximately 2.0 acres. The options for aquiring land at this location are: A. Purchase of all or a portion of Gisler Field. B. Aquisition of approximatley 2 acres of parkland through the development project. C. Aquisition of land adjacent to Gisler Field and Chaparral School. This property is approximately 2.23 acres in size. This location, with any option of aquisition will be advantageous because it is adjacent to the school site. Zoning for this property is RPD -15U. Access point is Poindexter Avenue. 4) The fourth site (site 4 on map) selected for a possible park site was the Railroad property south of the existing tracts. This area, with a 20 ft. set back from the tracks, is approximately 4.6 acres in size. The deminisions of this area are 130' wide and 1,540' long. At this point in time it is not known for certain if a 20 ft. set back is the requirement. Staff is already reseaching other Cities concerning their relationship with the Railroad regarding parks on similar property. The site, due to the configuration, would have limited potential for use as an active park. Present zoning is M -1. Access points are Bard Street and Moorpark Avenue. ) The fifth site (site 5 on map) selected for consideration as a possible park site is located on the corner of 3rd street & Bard Street, and is adjacent to the northwest corner of Flory School. This site is the last generally, vacant property with only one house on the entire acreage. Although this site could only be used as a passive park it is adjacent to the only school in this area. Because of its current occupancy it might be considered as a longer term option. The site is 1.2 acres in size. Present zoning is R -1 and access points are Millard Street and Bard Street. ) The sixth site (site 6 on map) selected for consideration is located orth of the existing town center. The site is adjacent to the south end f Chaparral Middle School and approximately 10 acres in size. Present oning is C -P -D. Because of this zoning, this site may be the most xpensive of the sites recommended by the Parks and Recreation Commission. ccess points are presently, Cornet Avenue, McFadden Avenue and Park Lane. The Honorable City Council Downtown Park Study This recommendation passed on a 4 -1 vote. The Commissioner that voted no stated that the Commission was to look at sites in excess of 6 acres.

DENNIS DELZEIT City Engineer JOHN V. GILLESPIE Chief of Police At the regular February 18, 1986 City Council meeting the City Council directed the Parks and Recreation Commission to consider the distribution schedule /method of Quimby fees received from development projects. Pursuant to Government Code Section 66477 the use of Quimby funds must benefit the residents of the specific subdivision from which they were derived. This condition can be met by spending the funds for either neighborhood park improvements in the area of the subdivision or community park facilities. Also, in relation to this, the interest income earned on the Quimby Funds must be used for the same purpose as the original Quimby fees, or, as authorized by the Legislature in the past few years, for maintenance of facilities. The City attorney has indicated that since the Legislature permits the interest to be used for maintenance but no other specific purpose, the interest income must be used only for these two purposes. The Parks and Recreation Commission has reviewed this information and recommends the following policy in regards to Quimby funds distribution: In Lieu fees Interest Neighborhood Park 60% 60% Communitv Park 40% 40% This policy would apply to all Quimby funds, retroactive receipt and future receipt. This policy would not, however, restrict monies received to this exact apportionment. The City may, at its discretion, deviate from this policy should it deem so necessary. 799 Moorpark A enue Moorpark.
