TO: Honorable City Council • es Director FROM. Mary K. Lindley, Parks, Recreation & Community Services DATE: April 16, 2009 (CC Meeting of May 6, 2009) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Adopting Park Master Plan BACKGROUND In September 1986, the City Council adopted a Parks and Recreation Master Plan (Master Plan to provide the City Council, the Parks and Recreation Commission, staff, and the p ublic with a guide for acquiring and developing park and recreation facilities. The as oal to periodically revise the guidelines to reflect changing community needs. g While staff surveyed residents on specific issues over the years, limited resources precluded a comprehensive update. In April 2006, the City secured the services of Moore lacofano Goltsman, Inc., (MIG) to update the 1986 Master Plan. DISCUSSION Over the past three years, MIG has been evaluating the City's existing park system by surveying the physical design and condition of each park; identifying existing and future Y g p Y demographic trends; assessing the current and future park facility needs of the identifying community; the future needs and the potential sighting for new parks; y updating the classification and standards used to define, designate and design parks; p g and developing capital improvement strategy. As a part of the update process, MIG p g a ca p surveyed attendees at the July 3 Fireworks Event in 2006, met with the Parks and Recreation Commission and youth sports organizations to discuss the current status of the Cit y park ark s Y stem and future parks and recreation needs of the community. MIG also interviewed City Councilmembers, City staff, and Moorpark Unified School District (MUSD) representatives to seek their input on the City s park system, future needs, and p recommendations for meeting the community's demand for existing and future parks and recreation facilities. During the past several years, the Commission and City Council have discussed desired park capital projects and enhancements and have included them in the City's annual Goals and Objectives document. MIG relied on this information as well, and notes in the Plan that many of the needs they identified through &\Community Services\ADMINISTRATIVE\CC Reports\2009\5-6-09(Park Master Plan)I1.doc 000001 Honorable City Council May 6, 2009 Page 2 their were rocess already on the City's list of future objectives. The firm visited each p Y City park Y ark to assess the system's strengths and weaknesses. MIG also compared the Cit y's existing facilities against the national standards established by National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA) to prepare a "needs assessment" contained in the Master Plan. The Draft Master Plan was presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission at their April 7 2008 meeting for review and comment. The Commission did not recommend p g any changes to the draft document. The Draft Parks and Recreation Master Plan has been provided to the City Council under separate cover. The Master Plan should be viewed as a planning document to be used b the Council, Commission, and staff when considering new parks'and expansion Y . projects, and capital improvements and enhancements to address the changing needs p 1 p p of the community. The recommendations contained in the Master Plan should be viewed as a set of g uidelines to be reviewed periodically, every five to seven years, and revised to meet the changing needs of the community. An overview of the draft Master Plan follows: Existin Parks and Recreation Facilities Chapter 2 is a review of the City's existing parks and recreation facilities. An inventory of the City's facilities was performed and MIG visited each site to survey the condition of the various facilities. Figure 2.1 identifies the City's public parks and Moorpark Unified School District school sites, page 2-4 provides an inventory of the recreation facilities in the various p arks, and Figure 2.2 shows the service area of each park, based on National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA) standards for given park classifications community park, neighborhood park, etc.) This chapter also discusses ark standards and the classification system developed by the NRPA and defines the characteristics for these classifications: Mini Parks, Neighborhood Parks, Community Parks and Regional Parks. These classifications were included in the City's original Park Master Plan and updated in the new draft document. Each existing City park is scribed listing the existing amenities, general conditions, and any future planned fully de g g improvements. Demand and Needs Analysis Chapter 3 is devoted to identifying the existing park facility needs and anticipated needs at the time of the City's build-out. The Chapter provides an overview of the methodology p and results of the ark and recreation facility needs assessment process. MIG used NRPA standards for comparing Moorpark's demand and needs analysis. Using national and state standards for the number of park facilities desired to serve a population of approximately 47,833 (estimated build-out), they prepared a surplus/deficiency chart pp Y findings of the City's existing park facilities. Noting that a community's interests and Y needs may differ from national and state trends, MIG spoke to parks and recreation S:\Community Services\ADMINISTRATIVE\CC Reports\2009\5-6-09 (Park Master Plan) ll.doc 0000(112 Honorable City Council May 6, 2009 Page 2 facility users s, policy makers and staff to arrive at its final demand and needs groups,p findings. When considerin g park acreage needs, MIG relied on the City's parkland dedication policy olic that requires residential developers to set aside property equal to five acres for q every 1,000 residents the development is projected to accommodate for public parkland, or pay an equivalent in-lieu fee. The five acres per 1,000 population p a represents goal the City set, consistent with the Quimby Act of the Government Code, to secure sufficient parkland and open space to benefit Moorpark residents. Table 3.1 (p ages a es 3-13 of the Plan identifies the facilities typically found in public parks, the q uantity of each specific facility currently available in the City's parks, and the national standard per 40,000 population. In summary, it concludes that the City has a deficiency in the following facilities: Facility Tvpe Deficienc Outdoor Amphitheater/Stage -1 Baseball Fields -6 Dog Park -1 Multipurpose Fields -3 Swimmin g Pool -1 Splash/Water Pad -2 Teen Center -1 The following represents the most significant park facility needs identified in the Plan: • Continued funding for improvements and maintenance of existing and future park facilities and programs • An aquatics facility and water play amenities like a splash pad. • A dog park • Recreation facility focused on teen programs and activities • Additional joint use opportunities between the City and MUSD • More baseball fields • More complete sports facility amenities including bleachers, fencing, lights • More support facilities such as storage, batting cages, on site parking • Outdoor performance venue The needs identified in the Plan are known to the City Council, Parks and Recreation Commission, and staff. In fact many of them are listed in the City's Goals and Objectives and discussions and/or preliminary plans have already taken place to address some, including a dog park, lighted basketball courts and soccer fields, and a water splash park. S:\Community Services\ADMINISTRATIVE\CC Reports\2009\5-6-09 (Park Master Plan) Il.doc 0000('^13 Honorable City Council May 6, 2009 Page 3 D^evelopm^nt/Operating Guidelines and Policies Building off of the needs analysis contained in Chapter 3, Chapter 4 of the Plan provides general guidelines and policies to be considered when making decisions about ark'development, enhancements and improvements, and recreation programming. The p Plan sets forth park guidelines and development standards for the park classifications first introduced in Chapter 2, identifying desirable park size and park amenities to serve the population as shown on Page 4-4. A summary of the key guidelines and policies recommended by MIG to assist the City in developing and operating parks and recreation facilities, and for addressing the aforementioned needs are as follows: • Continue with City procedures for reviewing potential new residential development projects that would assure adequate and useable parks • Continue efforts to streamline and simplify the park planning and review process • Co nsider preparations of conceptual master plans for each existing, planned, and future parks • Develop general criteria and guidelines for locating community, neighborhood, and mini parks • Provide parks and recreation facilities that complement one another and are evenly distributed throughout the City • Annually review the recreation facility needs presented in the Master Plan in order to insure the City is meeting the current and future recreational demands of residents • Continue to evaluate existing parks on a regular basis and identify those sites that require enhancement, renovation, and/or improvements • Actively seek land opportunities in the City to accommodate ball fields for organized youth leagues • When developing recreation facilities, the design should consider opportunities to generate revenue from admission, asset management (such as selling advertising opportunities), user fees, and possibly parking in order to cover operating costs • Prior to development, identify staffing requirements and operation and maintenance costs of recreation facilities to adequately plan for future budget considerations • Identify operational and maintenance costs of each facility prior to improving existin g or developing new facilities to adequately plan for future budget considerations. The plan should address implementing a user fee schedule and policies that identify an adequate overhead charge for program and users fees as well as cover direct program costs. The plan should also suggest policies concerning what program fees and overhead costs may be waived. Most significantly, Chapter 4 discusses the potential for additional parkland. The recommendation is to consider two additional neighborhood parks or one community park and one neighborhood park. The map on Figure 4.1 shows the possible location of a neighborhood park and a community park (light blue outlined circles). The community S:\Community Services\ADMINISTRATIVE\CC Reports\2009\5-6-09 (Park Master Plan) Il.doc 0000(-11)4 Honorable City Council May 6, 2009 Page 4 ark is shown in the Hitch Ranch Development Project area and a neighborhood park is p shown on City-owned land in the Buttercreek residential neighborhood adjacent to the Arroyo Simi. Implementation Under Implementation, Chapter 5, MIG recommends a number of actions based on . p previous analysis and on the input received from the Master Plan process. The p Y recommended actions include improvement of existing, and development of new facilities; ensuring that recreation programs and services meet the community needs and demands; ways to continue to expand recreation facilities and services through joint J joint-use and development opportunities; and revenue enhancement including the following: • Provide facilities that meet the recreation needs and address the community's desire to participate in recreational opportunities • Provide facilities for organized and individual sports and activities, as well as active recreation pursuits • Provide p arks and recreation facilities that are well maintained and aesthetically pleasing • Consider the standardized guidelines for furnishing park amenities in future parks, while also recognizing Moorpark's unique makeup • Continue to provide a comprehensive citywide recreation program • Continue to build and maintain community partnerships by collaborating with the Moorpark Unified School District, Moorpark College, local nonprofit organizations and service clubs • Continue to develop and support volunteer programs in the community • Communicate the City's objectives and solicit feedback regularly from the community • Provide the community with a well-trained, effective staff and ensure adequate staffing levels are maintained to provide the best service • Consider feasibility of establishing a community foundation • Implement an Asset Management Program (facility improvement and/or event sponsorships) to generate revenue • Study the feasibility of increasing funding of the Park Assessment currently in place Similar to the information and findings presented in Chapter 4, the City is already implementing and/or aware of many of the implementation recommendations included in the draft Plan. The City strives to provide park facilities and recreation programs that meet the needs of its residents within the present economic conditions. City staff works with MUSD and local currently wo nonprofit groups and service clubs to find p opportunities to share limited resources for the expansion or, enhancement of, recreation facilities whenever feasible. The City also utilizes volunteers to help maintain S:\Community Services\ADMINISTRATIVE\CC Reports\2009\5-6-09 (Park Master Plan) ll.doc 0 0 0 0 Honorable City Council May 6, 2009 Page 5 recreation facilities (sports fields) and to conduct recreation programs, and seeks community input on park and program improvements. Funding and Financial Analysis Chapter 6 of the Master Plan reviews various funding and financing opportunities the City may wish to consider for developing and maintaining its parks and recreation Y programs. Some of these mechanisms are currently used by the City, including the Quimby Ordinance (parkland dedication) and an annual Park and Recreation Maintenance and property assessment. The Council is being asked to review and consider approval of the draft Park Master Plan. Ideally, the Park Master Plan update would follow the adoption of the Open Space, Conservation and Recreation Element (OSCAR) update. However, the funding p the City received from the North Park project specifically directed to the update of the Park Master Plan, precipitated the timing. It is staffs intent to revisit the Park Master Plan after the OSCAR update has been completed to make any necessary changes to ensure that the two documents are consistent. At that time, the Veteran Memorial and completion of the Poindexter Park expansion project will be included, along with any other changes. With the Council's adoption of the Plan, staff will work with the Parks and Recreation Commission to begin addressing the recommendations. FISCAL IMPACT f the Park Master Plan will have no monetary Adoption o impacts. The implementation of some of the Plan's recommendations will require funding. When the City Council begins consideration of those recommendations, such as, but not limited to, the construction or enhancement of park facilities, there will be a full discussion of the fiscal impacts.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ! EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 40 The Parks and Recreation blaster Plan (Master Plan) is based on the vision that recreation facilities, programs, and open space are valuable resources for any city. They combine to enhance community health, enrich the lives of residents, and contribute to a unique community identity and improve quality of life. i INTRODUCTION 0 In the Spring of 2006, the City of Moorpark entered into an 0 agreement with Moore Iacofano Goltsman Inc. (MIG) to initiate 0 a study that would assess the community's parks and recreation i needs and update the existing Parks and Recreation Master Plan, • which was adopted by the City Council in September 1986. The 0 results of this updated study is a new Parks and Recreation 19 Master Plan that asks and answers the following questions: 0 What recreational facilities and programs does Moorpark 0 have? r Who uses Moorpark's facilities and programs? • What role do p arks, facilities, and recreation programs have in the lives of residents? + What type of facilities and programs does the City need? + Where will these facilities and programs be placed and how will they be funded? The resulting document is intended to setwe as a benchmark for the City to move fon-\vard in planning its Parks and Recreation facilities for the next 7 to 10 years. r HIGHLIGHTS OF EACH CHAPTER i The following presents the highlights of each chapter of the document. While the reader is encouraged to read each individual chapter In the document, this overview will provide a quick reference to what the kev findings J findin s were in each chapter and offers a summary- for a speedv review of the document. ' Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page ES-1 i EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Chapter 1 - Introduction 0 Chapter One describes the purpose of this report and gives a p rofile of the City of Moorpark. This profile provides the 0 framework for the Plan *including discussion of the history of g � the planning area, the regional context, natural features, demographic characteristics, and public involvement activities. r Finally, this Chapter identifies initial goals established by MIG in concert with the City for the Master Plan. This was stated to be: "... identi� the Cit s recreation needs and demands and to develo .� y p reachable goals that are an out o the conamunit in ut rocess and f y p tbus will likely be supported by the community.Along with ident�oing needs expressed by the community, the Master Plan seeks to acknowledge the goals and vision expressed by the City during its annual budgeting process. The findings of both processes are designed to lead to a strategic plan for the on health and growth of the City of Moorpark.

Page ES-2 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan s . • • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Chapter 3 - Demand and Needs Analysis • • Chapter 3: Demand and Needs Analysis allows the City to develop short term and long range plans for providing adequate recreation facilities and programs to meet the needs of this • growing and evolving community. To arrive at this analysis the MIG Team uses a number of methods: Community Outreach: Information gathered from the i community through public events, stakeholder interviews, community organization questionnaires, and a sports organization survey. s Demand and Needs Analysis: An evaluation of current and future facility needs was developed using results from the sports tY r organization survey, facility inventory, and relevant g Y Y demographic projections. Service Area Analysis: An evaluation of how parks and recreation facilities are distributed throughout residential areas in Moorpark. Acrea e Analysis: An evaluation of parkland acreage needs in the City based on established standards and on identified need for specific recreation facilities such as sports fields, gyms, pools, trails, etc. KEY FINDINGS Key findings from these different methodologies are broken down and summarized below: S COMMUNITY OUTREACH Of the opinions expressed by the community, there were some issues that rose to the top in terms of their relevance and priority. • Some of these are taken from Chapter 3 below: Moorpark needs to grow but maintain balance to keep it a healthy place to live. o Due to limited land availabihty, decision makers need to make wise choices when considering land uses and development. I Page ES-3 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Community eaders need to consider how to provide tY p continued funding for improvement and maintenance of existing and future of parks and recreation facilities and programs. • The City needs water play facilities and/or a swimming pool, dog parks, event space and improved sport field conditions. • A facility focused on teen programs and activities was mentioned multiple times in interviews and questionnaires. • There was a consensus that the City and Moorpark Unified School District should continue to work together to improve joint use capabilities and development of recreation facilities. Sports groups responding expressed the need for the following: s • Complete sports fields for practice and games with team benches, bleachers, fencing, backstops and lights S • More support facilities including, concession buildings or snack bar facilities, storage facilities, more parking areas, batting cages, safety netting and restrooms • FACILITY DEMAND ANALYSIS � 2007/08 2020 Based on current City conditions, Moorpark provides 4.1 acres of park land for every one thousand (1,000) Population 36,919 47,833 City The adopted Ci standard for arks is 5 acres • Park Acres Current 152.5 p p • Park Acres Required* 185 239 per 1,000 residents. Based on a build out population of Deficit 32.5 (86.5) 1 47,833, and a lack of available land, attaining the needed 239 acres for parks and open space is not realistic. Therefore, sharing resources and converting unused or underused spaces may be the way to serve the needs of the population through the year 2020 and beyond. • RECREATION FACILITY NEEDS • • The City of Moorpark sets annual goals and objectives for improving and updating facilities throughout the city. Many of the observations made by the project team were among the items already mentioned in those goals. The fact that some are listed here is a confirmation of that Moorpark has its finger on the Page ES-4 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan • • • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY pulse of the community and is striving to improve and enrich the p tY g • facilities it already has. The following recommendations are in • keeping with those goals and objectives. + A community swimming pool to serve recreation, swimrrung • and comfort needs during the summer and possibly accom- modate a competitive swim program, diving and water polo + for baseball and softball and Additional sports fields o b • improvement of certain soccer fields (See C�a p ter 4, Poliy 1 D ) • • + Lighting for existing fields/courts to allow for extended play • + Development of a teen/community center with access to a • gymnasium �► + Splash/`eater play pools in parks where space is available and private HOA swimming pools are inaccessible to residents + An outdoor performance venue/amphitheater The development of these facilities will assist the City in meeting p � g the community's recreation needs. • • chapter 4 - Development and operating • Guidelines and Policies • Chapter 4 recommends general guidelines and policies that will provide the groundwork for decision making p e e g g to meet the recreation programming and facility needs of Moorpark residents. • These guidelines and recommended policies are both general and • specific to provide a reference for staff and elected/appointed • officials to develop annual goals and objectives for work programs and as a resource for the periodic update of the Open Space, Conservation and Recreation Element of the Moorpark General Plan. • • With these guidelines and policies in hand, the City can address issues that include: existing park site enhancement and improvements; park site selection criteria;park acceptance • criteria; criteria for classifying and designing parks; special cominunit-\, recreation facilities; joint-use agreements; and park acquisition and development. aft.. Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page ES-5 • • • • • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • KEY FINDINGS • Building on previous documents such as, the City's Land Use Element (adopted in 1992) and Open Space, Conservation and Recreation Element (adopted in 1986) of the General Plan along • with the earlier Parks and Recreation Master Plan (adopted in 1986), this Master Plan acknowledges that the City and its g �' residents clearly appreciate their City's location and its resources: the viewsheds, the wildlife corridors, agricultural areas that have enriched it and the small town atmosphere that identify its character. The following recommendations are Intended to support the goals, objectives and philosophy held by the City and residents of Moorpark. • Continue to supply park land at a minimum of 5 acres per i 1,000 persons throughout the plan area as stated in the City's Quimby Ordinance. Develop a plan for at least two additional Neighborhood parks or one Community and one Neighborhood park in areas where the population is dense and in need of parks facili ties. Map_Figure 4./ shows areas where parks might be located. These parks should be developed according to the guidelines in Table 4.2. In order to maximize use and decrease . park land deficits, the areas of each Neighborhood park , should ideally be no less than 10 acres and a Community park should be at least 20 acres in size. • • ® Coordinate development of trail systems throughout the City • based on a future Trails Master Plan. The trails system should be g designed to provide linkages to recreation facilities and • other places of interest, complement unique vistas and natural resources, and encourage alternative transportation options. Provide safety, accessibili�r, and compatibility between parks and adjacent residential areas through "good neighbor" park practices. • • • Page ES-6 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan k, • • • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Chapter 5 - Implementation p p Recommendations • Chapter 5 presents a summary of recommended actions that have been develop from the Master Plan process. Action items include i g andevelopment im rovement of existing d of new facilities; � P ensuring that recreation programs and services meet the community needs and demands;ways to continue to expand recreation facilities and services though joint-use and joint development opportunities; and revenue enhancement. This Chapter also supports opportunities of acquiring parkland through the development process already employed by the City • through the use of Park In-Lieu Fees, developer agreements and the Parkland Dedication (Quimby Ordinance). KEY FINDINGS The results of input from community interviews and questionnaires clearly demonstrated the number one activity •i among families with children were organized sports: soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, and football. Next came tennis and volleyball and activities such as skateboarding, walking, jogging, and running for exercise. Passive activities included picnicking, and children using play equipment. In terms of facilities, an aquatics center or community swimming p ool to pp ed the list. This need is currently being flled in newer areas of the city by individual housing developments which include swimming pools as a recreational amenity though the Homeowners'Association. Another pool provider is Mavericks Gym, a privately owned and operated health club which requires . membership to attend. Residents also expressed a need for do arks; an outdoor p dog fully developed sports fields with lighting, participant and spectator seating and restrooms; a teen center; and skate park facilities. a °,= Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page ES-7 • • EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FUNDING AND FINANCE CE RECOMMENDATIONS To help fulfill the recommendations made throughout the Master Plan, several means of achieving financing for future projects • were suggested In this section of Chapter 5. The City may or may not already employ some of the funding methods delineated in this Chapter. Each resource has its own , appropriate use and is defined briefly in Chapter 6. The City must determine which type of funding to choose for each type of • project. Some types of funding include: • A Community Foundation • An Asset Management Program • Increased Fundin g for Park Assessment Districts MASTER PLAN REVIEW AND UPDATE Finally, Chapter 5 recommends that the City review the entire a p tY Master Plan every five to seven years to make sure its goals, recommendations and policies are still current. Chapter 6 •- Funning and Financial Analysis � The u ose of Chapter 6 is to support the City's stated vision p � p pp �' � and goals through the Master Plan's recommended policies and objectives. This is accomplished by suggesting priorities and funding options for the City to implement. r This Chapter contains an overview of the conclusions reached in • the previous chapters from which the recommendations are drawn.

Finally, this Chapter identifies initial goals established by Moore Iacofano Goltsman Inc. (MIG) in concert with the City for the Master Plan. 1 .1 -PROJECT OVERVIEW In the Spring of 2006, the City of Moorpark entered into an agreement with MIG to initiate a study that would assess the community's parks and recreation needs and update the existing . Parks and Recreation Master Plan,which was adopted by the City • Council in September 1986. The result of this study is a new Parks and Recreation Master Plan that: • Examines the current condition of parks and facilities; • Studies and analyzes public demand for park and recreation facilities; • Establishes policies and guidelines for park planning and development; • Proposes future park locations; • Recommends improvements to existing facilities and parks •� including u pg rades, renovations and placement of new amenities, and • Describes a financing strategy for funding the actions. The MIG team tapped several resources to gather information for this report: prior and current planning documents; the City's prior and current budget and program information; staff and communit<, input; federal, state, and countjT government data on housing, economy, society and demography. In addition to meetings and site visitations, MIG reviewed the web sites of the City as well as other local recreation service providers to confirm existing conditions and services. Information was also obtained from various reports and documentation provided by Cite staff. a Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 1-1 � I CHAPTER 1 Introduction 1 .2- COMMUNITY OVERVIEW i HISTORY ST RY M x,z i: X. :.r Named for the variety of fruit found growing throughout the ,. ............ ; area, the Moorpark apricot (pictured left), the community of .............. Moorpark was founded in 1887 by Robert W. Poindexter. .......... Moorpark was not in corpo r ate d as a C ity until In July 1983. Since i as`h lnco oration,its population has grown from 11 398 to 36 150 in r � p p g � ?~ January 2007: an increase of 317%in 24 years. The City occupies 12.44 square miles of land within the southeastern area of Ventura County. GEOGRAPHY AND TRANSPORTATION The City of Moorpark is surrounded by foothills which provide rich and beautiful views. Sharing the valley is its closest neighbor to the south,Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley to the east, and to the . west the City of Camarillo. • Rd c • Moorpark I ill Valle%l ,A i' Simi Viilit Camarillo I E Thousand Oak,� r. Moorpark Vicinity Map Historically, the building of transportation corridors through the �� g p g City has played a major role in Noorpark s economic and residential development. Major access to the area was first Page 1-2 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan CHAPTER 1 Introduction provided with the opening of the railroad tunnel through the mountain completed in 1904, and then more recently with the building of the 118 Freeway and Highway 23. The proximity of these major highways, along with its own Metrolink station makes commuting to and from Moorpark convenient. The City can also boast of being within a 50-mile radius of four airports: LAX, Burbank,Van Nuys, and Oxnard. Y Passenger rail travel is provided with access to San Luis Obispo and San Diego by Amtrak. City Transit and dial-a-ride services provide connections for commuters and transportation for residents to parks and facilities during daylight hours. HOUSING AND POPULATION • The City has estimated that based on a maximum of 13,474 • housing units, the population at build-out could range from 36,919 to 47,833 depending on household size. Current statistics show that Moorpark will reach build-out by 2020. Since Moorpark approved its Land Use Element in 1992, fifteen (15) amendments have been added. Ten of the fifteen amendments increased housing densities in new developments. This factor will heavily affect the City's ability to provide recreation space and services to accommodate the increase in population.

Page 1-4 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan - h K • • CHAPTER 1 Introduction Moorpark is an educated community with 85% of the adults being High School graduates and about 40 % being college graduates. i • Moorpark is predominately white (75%) with about 15% of the population Hispanic, 5% of the population Asian and the 5% • remaining comprised of other ethnic groups. In summary the City of Moorpark can be described as an upscale . suburban family community with above average education and • income. EDUCATION • • The City is home to Moorpark College, an accredited two-year community college which along with a traditional curriculum • offers p rofessional studies in Exotic Animal Trainin g and � Management. Moorpark Unified School District (MUSD) provides public K-12 education. The MUSD operates six • elementary schools, two middle schools, three high schools. In i addition it provides early childhood education programs for low- income and regular preschool students. 1 .3-COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT • MIG began the process of information gathering for the Master Plan by meeting with key members of the Parks, Recreation and • Community ervices Department. MIG attended the July 3 2006 � p J � event during which questionnaires were distributed to visitors, and attendees were invited to share their opinions on recreation needs and desires. In addition, MIG partnered with the City of Moorpark to conduct inten-iews with elected officials, • representatives from youth sports organizations, various other . community stakeholders, School District staff, and City staff. The analysis of this community- feedback is covered in Chapter 3. • 1 .4 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE MASTER PLAN r The objective of the Master Plan process was to identify the CMT's recreation needs and demands and to develo p reachable goals that are an outgrowth of the community- input process and thus will likely be supported by the community-. kloiig with Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 1-5 ' i • • CHAPTER 1 Introduction identifying needs expressed by the community, the Master Plan seeks to acknowledge the goals and vision expressed by the City during its annual budgeting process. The findings of both processes are designed to lead to a strategic plan for the ongoing health and growth of the City of Moorpark. • i r Page 1-6 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plane i a� 8B vi S W �. `r ........... .......... ................... ............ a • '��1 �1�` ��st��Pa�rk�� Facx�t��s Pr xas ��d Resouzc�s • fit. t;ti • • • • • • • • • CHAPTER 2 Existing Parks, Facilities, • Programs & Resources • • 2.0 - EXISTING PARKS, FACILITIES, • PROGRAMS AND RESOURCES • 2.1 - INTRODUCTION Chapter 2 provides a description of the City's existing parks and recreation resources. This includes maps showing the locations of City parks and schools, a park and facility inventory, an overview of programs and services offered in the community along with an overview of recreation programs offered by other organizations for the community. The Department of Parks, Recreation, and Community Services currently operates and maintains 16 built parks, recreation areas and trails with one park currently in development, for a park land total of 152.5 acres. These sites range in size from 69 acres to 0.5 acres and offer a variety of passive and active recreation opportunities including organized sports,informal play, hiking, picnicking or group gatherings. (See Figure 2. —Existing Pars, Schools and Community Facilities) • 2.2 PARK LAND DEFINITIONS In order to address specific planning needs for park, open space, and recreational areas,park classifications have been used. Each • park class provides a distinct type of recreational opportunity. The ideal community park system is made up of several different types or classifications of parks. Design guidelines for each park • type are found in Section 4.3. The classification system used in • this document is as follows: Mini-Parks: Mini-parks,pocket-parks, tot lots and children's playgrounds are all small single-purpose play lots designed • primarily for small child use or as small oases to break up dense • urban areas. Due to their size, the facilities are usually limited to a small open grass area, a children's playground, and a small picnic • area. The service area is roughly one-quarter mile, and the size is • usual 1v two acres or less. Because of the high cost to maintain these parks, then are developed in limited situations. The need for • mini parks is often met by HOl1s. zr : � Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 2-1 • • • • • CHAPTER 2 Existing Parks, Facilities, • Programs & Resources Neighborhood Parks: Neighborhood parks are designed primarily for non-supervised, non-organized recreation activities. . They are generally small in size and serve people living within approximately one-half mile of the ark. Since these arks are pp Y p p � located within walking and bicycling distance of most users, the activities they offer serve the entire neighborhood,including children. Typical facilities found in a neighborhood park include: playgrounds, picnic areas, trails, open grass areas for passive use, outdoor basketball courts, and multi-use open grass areas for practice field sports. • Community Parks: A community park is planned primarily to provide active and structured recreation opportunities for young people and adults. Community park facilities are designed for • organized activities and sports, although individual and family activities are also encouraged. Community parks can also provide indoor facilities to meet a wider range of recreation interests. Community parks serve a much larger area and offer more facilities. As a result, they require more support facilities, such as parking, restrooms and covered play areas. Community p arks usually have sport fields or similar facilities as the central focus of the park. Their service area has roughly a 2-3 mile radius. • Regional Parks: Regional parks are large recreation areas • designed to serve an entire region beyond the city limits. Often • they are acquired to provide a specific and sometimes unique recreation opportunity. M the • pp � ost frequently q y �y are owned and maintained by a County agency. Special Use Areas: Special use areas are sites often occupied by a specialized recreation facility. Some uses that fall into this • category include waterfront parks, boat ramps, botanical gardens, community gardens, single purpose sites used for a particular field sport, or sites occupied by recreation buildings. i Linear Parks: linear parks are developed landscaped areas and other lands that follow linear corridors such as rivers, creeks, abandoned railroad rights-of-way, canals, powerhnes, and other Page 2-2 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan • ........... ............ ...........:"...

This type of park usually contains trails, • landscaped areas,viewpoints, and seating areas. Natural Open Space: Natural open space is defined as undeveloped land primarily left in its natural form with recreation • uses as a secondary objective. It is usually owned or managed by a • governmental agency and may or may not have public access. This type of land may include wetlands, steep hillsides, or other . similar spaces. In some cases, environmentally sensitive areas are considered open space and can include wildlife habitats, stream and creek corridors, or unique and/or endangered plant species. • • Undeveloped Land: This land is undeveloped and has not yet been designated for a specific park use. • TI • 2.3 INVENTORY of PARK & RECREATION FACILITIES o An inventory of park and recreation facilities was developed using information from various agencies that make available recreation facilities for the community,including the City, • County, Community College and School District. • While the primary focus of this Master Plan is to assist the City in identifying future recreation facility and program needs in the community,it is important to recognize that other groups or • agencies may already be fulfilling some of those needs. Or that perhaps an opportunity to share resources may be identified at a • savings to the local taxpayer. • The majority of information about existing parks and facilities was gathered by MIG team members visiting park sites and by • interviewing PRCS staff. Other resources for park information • included maps, brochures and the Internet. Existing private and commercial facilities are also noted as recreation resources in • Moorpark even though the use of these facilities may be limited. • The following section provides an overview of each Cite park site with a description including size, classification, development status, existing amenities, its overall condition and any proposed improvements.

It provides an analysis of both the perceived demand and the actual need for park and recreation facilities and . programs. It also summarizes all of the community input and • feedback, as well as identifies community issues concerning park • facilities and recreation programs. 3.2 SCOPE AND PURPOSE The purpose of a Demand and Needs Analysis is to quantify and • understand both the facili ty and recreational programming needs of the community. In order for the Ci ty to develop a long range • plan for providing the right recreation facilities and programs, • there must be an understanding of the nature of the community, its recreation desires,its actual needs, its social makeup, and its • ability to provide the services that are determined necessary • through the Demand and Needs Analysis. • Demand and need is sometimes difficult to quantify. A numerical standard may not reflect the makeup of a community, its • economic situation, history, traditional recreation uses, or political environment. This report assesses the recreational programming and park facilities needs of the City of Moorpark starting with national and state trends, past levels of service standards, public • involvement, and identified community demands. • 3.3 SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS • AND PROJECTIONS In the coming years national trends in the perception of the • environment, socio-economics, technology, and in urban development will affect the need for and use of park and recreation facilities. The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPIk) developed a list of trends, which will cause Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 3-1 • • • CHAPTER 3 Demand and Needs Analysis the greatest impact on local agencies planning for recreational ! facilities. The NRPA's list of pertinent trends that may affect or be considered in the City of Moorpark's planning efforts for developing recreation facilities and programs are as follows: • A greater need for walking and biking on trails, sidewalks, within parks and along streets, and utility corridors ! + Collaboration between parks and schools to share construction, development, and use of lands and facilities • Recreation designed to direct energy to positive activities; recreation as an antidote for social problems • Recreation for groups limited by income,physical disability, g ua lan g e, or cultural barriers • i + Collaboration among program and facility providers, partnering and cooperation between public, private, and nonprofit sectors, especially social service agencies • • Family recreation centers that offer a variety of services for • each family member • Pressure to increase park capacity and infrastructure of • existing parks and concern for adequate maintenance • • Community volunteering opportunities, such as Adopt-A- Park projects, friends of the parks groups, and park watch i programs • • Increased demand for Tiny-Tot and Pre-School programs and activities, although Moorpark's demographic trends indicate that its population is getting older. • + Protective measures for open space + Provision for aquatics programs and water safety instruction ! • Provision for Senior Citizen programs and activities In addition to these national trends, the socio-demographic make up of the community will also influence the demands and needs for recreation and parks. A quick look at the City of Moorpark shows a current population of 36,000 P people.P l le. Future projections for residential development could ultimately increase Fe Page 3-2 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan *� ! • • CHAPTER 3 Demand and Needs Analysis the p p o ulation to approximately 48,000. (See the demographic profile in Chapter 1) • The current population per square mile is approximately 2,846. • When compared to the average population per square mile in California cities,which is 5,217, the City of Moorpark would be considered less densely populated than most other cities. The male and female distribution is approximately 49% male and 51% female. The median age in Moorpark is 31 years of age, • which is younger than the national average of 36 years. The • population 19 years of age or younger makes up 37% of the City's population,which is higher than both the state and national average;which is approximately 7% and 9% respectively. The population between the ages of 20-55 makes up 53% of the population and the remaining 6% are senior citizens. The population distribution by age currently looks like this: Moorpark Population by Age Grouping 10% 37% Children 0-19 .............- . .................. Young n Adults 20-24 .:... DWorking Adults 25-54 47% 6% 55+ One can see the importance of addressing children and youth needs. This number is projected to grow even larger as most new residential development is designed to attract young families. s According to the updated US Census, the average household size • in 2005 was 3.5 persons per household. However, the average • family size was 4.25. In summanT, the demand and needs for recreation services and park facilities should take into account that the City is primarily a young family oriented community with some discretionary -3 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 3 2 • • • • CHAPTER 3 Demand and Needs Analysis ! income;increasing in population, especially in single family residential; and has an above average educated population. • 3.4 METHODOLOGY • • The methodology used to obtain information and develop the • facility Demand and Needs Analysis included the following. • Individual interviews with stakeholders consistin g of elected officials, staff, community leaders, etc. • Survey questionnaires distributed to Sports Organizations, Yq o P . g • community event participants and individuals associated with various user groups Review of Standards and Trends established b the National • y Recreation and Park Association adjusted to reflect the size, socio-economic makeup, ethnicity, and population density of Moorpark • • Review of facilities and programs available to Moorpark residents offered by the City as well as other community organizations and the surrounding areas of Ventura County. • • Review of the Moorpark General Plan and associated documents Project Team site tour of all existin Moorpark recreation l g p • facilities and possible sites that may be potential areas for future facility development Using T • sing the above methodology the Project Team believes the data, analysis and recommendations regarding facility needs and demands reflect the desires of the Moorpark community. ty • 3.5 COMMUNITY INPUT • STAKEHOLDER INTERVIEWS • • Over a period of several months, the project team conducted interviews with key stakeholders in the community including the Mayor, Cite Council members, appointed officials, community • leaders, representatives of various user groups, School District • � staff and City staff.

KEY FINDINGS • All interviewees expressed their opinions with passion and p p sincerity. Each had a desire to see the City remain healthy and provide for the future needs of its residents: physically, socially and economically. They were proud of the small town character of Moorpark and wanted to preserve its relaxed atmosphere. At the same time, all recognized that an increasing population and land limitations could strain the infrastructure and resources of the City. The following is a summarization of the comments received during the interview process. These cover the range of the 10 questions asked of all the stakeholders. • The City- needs to stag current and in touch with new trends and technology throughout the region and country. zw -5 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 3 • • • CHAPTER 3 Demand and Needs Analysis • + Moorpark needs to grow but maintain balance to keep it a • healthy place to live. + Services should be convenient and available to all residents regardless of economic and social divisions. + Due to limited land availability, decision makers need to make wise choices when considering land uses and development. i + New arks designs should include flexible spaces that can P � P serve multiple uses or change as trends change. ♦ Leaders need to consider how to continue funding for improvement and maintenance for the future of arks and • P P • recreation.

And though most valued open space, many thought Moorpark already had sufficient open ace. P P • SPORTS ORGANIZATION QUESTIONNAIRE SUMMARY � As part of the Master Plan process to obtain information • regarding current use and future needs, the City and the consultant team developed a survey questionnaire to distribute specifically to local nonprofit sports organizations.

P g i Most organizations practice on average two times per week, in about one to two hour sessions. Practices are generally in the late afternoon following school. Due to limited lighted field space, most practices are held on unlighted fields. Youth Football has its • own practice and game facilities at Arroyo Vista Community Park. Football practices are five days per week during the season with games held on Saturdays. For all groups, there are a limited S number of tournaments hosted in Moorpark with players from outside the City. These groups also participate in tournaments hosted by organizations located throughout Southern California. • The most prevalent use of City fields is for league games and practices. i From those groups responding the following amenities were desired or needed: Complete sports fields for practice and games with team benches, bleachers, fencing, backstops and lights g P g Nlore support facilities including, concession buildings or snack bar facilities, storage facilities, more parking areas, batting cages, safer 7 netting and restrooms A Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 3-7 • • CHAPTER 3 Demand and Needs Analysis i Before any additional facilities are included in the long term Capital Improvement Program,it is suggested that staff re- contact all of the local sports organizations to give them one more opportunity to provide information regarding program i needs. • COMMUNITY QUESTIONNAIRE � . i A Communi ty Q uestionnaire soliciting input for the Parks Master Plan was distributed to interested participants at the July 3, 2006 event. (See Appendix C for Questionnaire.) Forty-three (43 ) questionnaires were completed. Questionnaires were distributed to the public by the Parks and Recreation staff and represent- atives from MIG. i Questions were developed to identify what issues were important and to obtain information regarding what the community felt which needs were a riori arks and recreation. Res , p �' for p Respond- ents ents were asked if they were residents of Moorpark. Of the 43 questionnaires returned 38 of the respondents were residents. The responses also provided information regarding perceptions about parks, programs, trails and maintenance of facilities. A P d on large number of the respondents participated in organized • g p p g � sports. Most of the respondents participated in baseball, basketball and soccer. Other sports activities included volleyball, swimming, track/cross country, football, softball and tennis. S Most responding to the survey participated in a number of City sponsored programs. The most popular were the City Special events, sports activities and summer camps. The most requested activities not currently offered by the City include more teen programs, concerts and cultural activities, and skate parks. When asked how often they used the parks, a majority of those responding visit the park at least 25 times per month. The most • visited park is Arroyo Vista Community Park. Other parks heavily used include Tierra Re'ada' P m n�w p each Hill Ca us Caon ' Mountain Meadows and Miller Parks. i Page 3-8 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan • CHAPTER 3 Demand and Needs Analysis Which three recreation activities were identified as a family's favorite thing to do? Soccer, swimming and baseball were at the top of the list. Other organized sports such as tennis, basketball, hiking and walking, biking and softball also got a good response. Casual activities like picnicking, attending concerts and camping • were also identified as favorable. Less than 50% of the respondents knew where the City trails are p ty located. About 44% of the respondents use the trails at least one time a year. . The public perception of how well the City parks are maintained was good to very well. Only one respondent thought that the S maintenance of Ci ty parks was fair. About 50% of those responding were satisfied with the overall recreation/program services and facilities provided by the City of Moorpark. Pools and skate parks were the most wanted new facilities. A dog park, more lighted fields and facilities, splash parks and volleyball • courts were also mentioned as desirable. Additional comments overall were very favorable with how the City provides services for the community. 3.6 FACILITY DEMAND ANALYSIS Over the past several years the City has determined the demand for parks, facilities, and recreational services by community requests and by park dedications required as part of approval of S residential development. The City has adopted formal park facility standards and consequently has pursued a combination of i park acquisition and facility development based on residential S neighborhood development. Park acreage standards are generally established through an acreage requirement per 1,000 residents. The Subdivision Map Act and the Quimby Act (Section 66477 of the Government Code) relating to parkland dedication allows a city to adopt a local ordinance establishing a city-xvide park standard and the requirement of parkland dedication or market value In-lieu fees when there is residential development. s ' Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 3-9 0 \ 4h 0 0 • • CHAPTER 3 Demand and Needs Analysis i Currently the City provides 4.1 acres of park land for every one thousand (1,000) residents. The adopted City standard for parks is 5 acres per 1,000 residents. With a balance of 152.5 acres of park land, the City today is about 32.5 acres short of meeting that standard. Based on projections at build-out in 2020, an additional • 88 acres or a total of 239 acres of park land would be required to meet the standard of 5 acres for every 1,000 residents. • 2008/09 2020 Population 36 919 471833 Park Acres Current 152.5 Park Acres Required* 185 239 , Deficit 32.5) 86.5) • * Today the City would need an additional 32.5 acres to meet the , standard. In 20203. 86.5 additional acres would be required. • Several years ago the National Recreation and Parks Association established guidelines for park facilities for both urban and rural communities by population. There are a number of issues that affect the demand for park facilities,including: environmental trends, social trends, economic trends, demographic trends, technology trends, and trends in urban development. The Project Team has identified a number of these issues that affect the demand for facilities in Moorpark: + Disappearing resources such as open space and natural habitats + Lack of available land within the City limits to acquire for park land + Environmental regulations regarding water quality, runoff, and hazardous waste + Reduction in number of vehicle trips mandated by states and communities + Increased number of children considered "at risk" for developing behavior problems + Increased desire for citizen artici ation and involvement p p � Page 3-10 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan M. a • CHAPTER 3 Demand and Needs Analysis • Social service networking—mobilizing community organizations and resources to attack social problems + Increasing concern for personal and family safety i • + Increased public cost for maintenance and upgrading aging infrastructure • • Increased labor and energy costs • Increased contact with computers in the home or the workplace + Increased media overload • Revitalization and retrofitting both residential and S commercial development • Increasing land values i • Increased traffic congestion • Political pressure for parks, open space and recreation • facilities Through the surveys and interviews obtained from the community,it is apparent that people expect the City to provide . essential recreation opportunities. There was a strong demand for an aquatics facility, an open air events enue/am amphitheater, public meeting room space, trails p and additional or improved recreation facilities for soccer, basketball, softball/baseball, teen activities/facility, and affordable after school programs. These preferences reflect an increased demand and appreciation for parks, open space, and • facilities and the community's desire to have them easily accessible. Since many of the working adult population commutes outside of Moorpark, there was a need expressed for programs scheduled at times more conducive to those arriving home later in the evening. There was a strong consensus that the City needs to work with the school district and nonprofit organizations to "partner" in meeting facility demands. a Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 3-11 • • • CHAPTER 3 Demand and Needs Analysis • 3.7 FACILITY NEEDS ANALYSIS • • Based on the interviews and surveys obtained through the input • process, the project team has develop a list of facilities most requested by the community and that reflect the trends in park • and recreation facility development established by the National Recreation Parks Association. The Table 3./ shows these facilities and compares the current number of facilities with standards the • project team has established based on an adjusted population of • 40,000 and the estimated surplus or deficit based on this • population. • The participation figures show that currently,in Moorpark, there are 22 soccer fields (primarily at Arroyo Vista Park) that are used for both practice and games. This figure is adequate, however, there was dissatisfaction with the condition as a result of high •� demand, over use, and leaving little if any time for remedial • maintenance. • With two football fields: one for practice and one for games, Moorpark surpasses that of most cities which rely on middle or high schools to supply football fields for youth football leagues. • These fields meet the standard to accommodate the current • number of teams participating in football. • There are two baseball fields and nine softball fields. This • number of facilities is short of the ideal standard. The requirement to accommodate Moorpark Little League is that there should be eight youth baseball fields for practice and games. • Adult Softball and Girls Softball need a total of 12 softball fields. • Based on future population growth, these participation figures • should grow about 6% per year. • It should be noted that representatives from organized sports groups commented on the lack of access to school facilities to accommodate some of the teams' practice and play requirements. •' • Staff should explore not only the development of additional facilities on City properties, but pursue the availability of existing • fields on MUSD property to meet future needs along with the p p g • Page 3-12 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan • • • • • • • CHAPTER 3 Demand and Needs Analysis possibility of joint-development with the Moorpark Unified School District and Moorpark College. .

The purpose of the survey was to get an idea of the number of teams and participants currently using Moorpark fields and facilities to determine the current • deficiencies and, therefore, the future need for fields in the • community. Table 3.2 below is a summary of the completed surveys received. Some groups such as volleyball and girls softball • did not respond to the survey, so estimates had to be developed from attendance p Y reports provided b City staff. The text summarizing the survey results is explained previously under the Community Input Section of this Chapter. • The common standard for practice football fields is one field for every 12 teams, and the common standard for football game fields is one field for every six teams. The common standard for practice soccer fields is one field for every 18 teams and one game field for every 12 teams. The common standard for little • league fields and softball fields are one field for every 12 teams • for both practices and games. • Field Use by Team Types —Table 3.2 Jr Football 8 150 1 1 • AYSO Soccer 156 1342 8 13 Little League 50 550 4 4 • Club Soccer 11 163 1 1 Adult Softball 56 1 120 4 4 .

In looking at facility needs Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 3-15 • • CHAPTER 3 Demand and Needs Analysis for the future, the City may want to concentrate on developing a teen/community center, additional baseball fields, splash/water play pools, a community swimming pool, and a community amphitheater/ stage area for community events. Plus, adequate parking should be an integral consideration when developing any • new facility. The City should also make sure developer-built • parks, as well as, City developed parks contain a sufficient amount of open turf area for multi-purpose use. A do ark and • p g p • additional volleyball courts should also be on the City's list of future projects. The findings of the Master Plan process confirm the community's support for the development of these additional facilities. RECREATION FACILITY NEEDS i Based on the results of the Master Plan process, the following list of facilities was most desired by the community. • It should be noted that most of these items were alread y targeted g by the City in their goals for future development within the next five years. Therefore, it is apparent that Moorpark's leadership at least in the area of parks and recreation is aware of the needs of the community. • • A community swimming pool to serve recreation, swimming and comfort needs during the summer and possibly accom- modate a. competitive swim program, diving and water polo ® Additional sports fields for baseball and softball and improvement of soccer field conditions at Arroyo Vista • Lighting for existing fields/courts to allow for extended 5 la, p • • Development of a teen/community center with access to a gymnasium • Splash/water play pools in parks where space is available and private HOA swimming pools are inaccessible to residents • An outdoor performance venue/amphitheater The development of these facilities will assist the City meeting J the community's recreation needs.

The Chapter is presented in three sections: Scope 0 and Purpose,Park Development Standards and Park Policies. • 4.2 SCOPE AND PURPOSE The policies included in this Chapter provide the basis for the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Specific policies address areas • that include: existing park site enhancement and improvements; • park site selection criteria; park acceptance criteria; criteria for classifying and designing parks; special recreation facilities (such • as skate arks splash arks do arks j reements• and joint-use a p � p as parks, gp • l)� g 0 park acquisition and development financing while touching 0 briefly on the City's Park Land Dedication and In-Lieu Fee • Ordinance. The Park Policies section will provide a framework i for the Cit�T Council and staff as they make decisions about • meeting recreation needs of Moorpark residents in the future. • Through the process of interviews surveys and community 0 workshops, the need for a number of amenities and facilities have 0 been identified. Some of the desired facilities could be good 0 candidates for joint development and shared use. This is an • option that should be explored as the opportunity to obtain • additional park land becomes more of a challenge. These facilities • were identified in full in Chapter 3. They include an aquatic center or comtnunity pool, lighted sports fields, teen center, performing arts Nrenue, gymnasiums and meeting room space. • • Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 4-1 • • • • • CHAPTER 4 Development and Operating Guidelines and Policies Programming desires expressed by the community centered largely around teen activities: homework assistance and programmed activities such as dances, concerts, or group service projects. The City has already recognized many of the expressed desires and needs of its residents and included them in its annual Goals and Objectives document. Every City must decide how to allocate i its limited resources through setting priorities. Once priorities are • set it may be possible to implement these goals by phasing them in over time. The following Recreation and Park Policy recommendations are meant to support the City of Moorpark in setting priorities for meeting the needs of its residents. These recommendations . should be reviewed, modified and updated every five to ten years • to reflect future changes In community needs and economic capabilities. 4.3 PARK DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS COMMUNITY PARK GUIDELINES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS Purpose: Community arks are intended to provide communi - i P � P P ry wide recreational facilities and a greater variety of recreation opportunities than a neighborhood park. Community parks can provide a wide variety of uses such as swimming pools, athletic fields, community/recreation centers, cultural centers, picnic areas and gardens. Community parks also serve neighborhood park needs • for the immediate neighborhood. Size: The desirable size of a Community Park is between 10 to 40 acres - the size of a Community Park may vary subject to land availability, budget constraints, topography, and location. For example, if a Community Park is built in conjunction with a large middle school and there is a joint-use agreement in place, then the Community, Park Page 4-2 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan • • • CHAPTER 4 Development and operating Guidelines and Policies could contain fewer acres and still satisfy community needs. • Area: A community park usually services several neighborhoods within a radius of 2 to 5 miles. Base Level Park Development Guidelines for Community Parks: Each community park has a minimum base level of development, as identified in Table 4-/, Base Level Park Development Guidelines for Community Par kf. • Community Park Development Standards: Community parks can be developed adjacent to or in joint use with elementary . or middle schools. Community Park sports fields and • hard court facilities should be lighted for evening use. • Access should be close to public transportation or make provisions for public transportation. • Community Parks should have fencing or walls, where appropriate, along the property line of that • portion of the subdivision contiguous to the • dedicated land. • Community Park sites should have enhanced drainage systems with special consideration given to possible • installation of subsurface drainage systems in the • sports fields. • + Community Parks should have other off-site improvements which are essential to the acceptance • of land for recreation purposes. • • When possible, Community Parks should be located • adjacent to school sites or other public facilities and existing or proposed trails. Community Parks should be designed to promote • public security and facilitate surveillance by law enforcement. + Community Parks should provide adequate parking depending on the size and amenities provide at the • location. • Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 4-3 • • • • CHAPTER 4 Development and Operating_ Guidelines and Polices Base Level Park Development Guidelines for Community Parks - Table 4-1 wmmmmm Pub Community 10-40 acres Tot Lot/Playground 1 lic Restrooms Lighted Baseball Fields (practice and Informal/Open Space ' 1 Trash Receptacles game) 3 Open Picnic Tables 12 Maintenance Bldg.

Neighborhood Park Development Standards: • Elementary chools can usually serve the function of a rY Y neighborhood park for utilization of sports fields with limited r lighted facilities. The minimum size of a neighborhood park site may be lowered if the park site is adjacent to an elementary or middle school, and there is a joint-use • agreement to share facilities, however, this guideline does not • apply to giving park credit to developers. • The service area of a neighborhood park should not be divided by natural or manmade barriers such as thoroughfares,irrigation canals, or drainage channels. • Neighborhood parks should be located centrally to the • residential development served whenever possible. • Whenever possible, new neighborhood parks should be i located adjacent to special community facilities such as, Boys & Girls Clubs,YMCAs, Day Care Centers, etc. • Neighborhood parks should be designed to be easily accessible to students walking to school. • Neighborhood park sites should be selected to allow public streets to surround all sides of the park site. Neighborhood parks should have fencing or walls along the property line of that portion of the subdivision contiguous to the dedicated land when approved by the Planning Commission and City Council. • • Neighborhood park sites should have enhanced drainage • systems. . • Neighborhood parks should have other off site improvements which are essential to the acceptance of the land for recreational purposes and complement community park facilities and uses. �= Moor ark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 4-5 p i i CHAPTER 4 Development and Operating.

Map Figure 4. shows areas where parks might be located. There may be additional locations the City may want to explore 'including the expansion of existing parks like Glenwood. These parks should be developed according to the guidelines in Table 4.2. In order to maximize use and decrease park land deficits, the areas of each Neighborhood park should ideally be no less than 10 acres and a Community • park should be at least 20 acres in size. • Coordinate development of the existing trail systems throughout the City which are designed to provide linkages to . recreation facilities and other places of interest and complement unique visual or natural resources to encourage alternative transportation options. • + Require proposed park locations be reviewed by key staff from departments such as planning, engineering, law enforcement and parks and recreation to ensure the best citing and most useable land for park purposes. • * Provide safety, accessibility, and compatibility between parks and adjacent residential areas through "good neighbor" park practices. 4.5 PARK ACQUISITION In order to meet future park land needs and provide the community-with its desired recreation facilities,it will have to pursue policies and actions that will allow it to acquire additional park land. Even though these opportunities are limited due to the • topography of the area, ownership of land by private parties, and land already planned for development, the City should seize opportunities as they become available. Acquisition may be accomplished by a number of methods including, park land ,$_ a Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 4-9 • • • CHAPTER 4 Development and Operating_ Guidelines and Policies dedication by future developers;partnering with schools, other agencies, and nonprofits; through the use of redevelopment, state grants, and fundraising; and development of usable rights of way throughout the City. PARK IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES � Policy 1: Develop a procedure to review potential developments that would assure adequate and useable parks are provided for the community. Item 1.1: Establish detailed capital costs for future park facilities as part of the Park In-Lieu fee schedule process with staff a representatives from every department involved in the fee schedule development, including the Planning and Building Department, Public Works and the Finance Department. Fee schedule should account for cost of • living increase. • Item 1.2: Establish a project design review process that includes participants from Public Works, Police, Parks and Recreation and other affected departments to ensure the i best possible facility plan for the City. Policy 2: Strive to streamline and simplify the park planning and review process. Review and update the existing process for planning, designing and constructing new parks. i i Item 2.1: Develop an internal process for resolving conflicting i views, issues and ideas between departments that may arise during the park planning and review process. It is important that the City communicates with the builder developer with one unified voice. Item 2 Avoid prolonged delay TS in processing park plans. In general the total City review period inclusive of plan general, period, p � checks, landscape plan review, Technical Committee review, bidding for and selecting a landscape architect and issuance of mass-grading permits should generally take four to six months. Longer delays may occasionally be necessary for contro'\rersial or extremely complicated Page 4-10 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan `*; • • • CHAPTER 4 Development and Operating Guidelines and Policies projects; however, the City should strive to review and approve park plans in less than six months. • Policy 3: Prepare conceptual master plans for each existing, planned and future park.

Item 4.1: Continue to require the developer or builder of each new turn key park to maintain the newly completed park for a one-year period. At the end of this mandated period, the City should meet with the developer's or builder's representative s) to inspect the park and evaluate its condition. The City may then elect to either accept maintenance and operation of the new park, or issue a detailed letter to the developer or builder that identifies all a items requiring replacement, adjustment or improvement. The developer or builder should have up to 60 days to address the City's concerns; then another inspection . should be scheduled with City staff. . PARK LOCATION POLICIES When choosing the locations or sites of future parks, the following park policies and guidelines should be considered: r Policy 5: Develop general criteria and guidelines for locating � ca g community, neighborhood, and mint parks. Item 5.1: Use the following criteria and guidelines in locating and orienting new parks: • a p �p ose Require proposed ark locations to be reviewed b , q p the appropriate appointed officials prior to City Council action on acquisition, dedication or acceptance of park land, open space and trails. b) Community parks should be located at the juncture of • major and/or collector streets to provide for safe, efficient, and convenient vehicular access and to allow for easy surveillance by law enforcement. c) Locate community park-type athletic field complexes adjacent to major arterials to allow for ease of traffic ingress and egress Page 4-12 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan • • CHAPTER 4 Development and operating Guidelines and Policies d) Use community/neighborhood parks as focal points . for community development. Locate community parks to be highly visible and easily accessible. i e) Consider community/neighborhood park locations adjacent to middle or elementary school sites when possible. • f) Provide appropriate buffers between community/ neighborhood parks and adjacent residential • development to help minimize noise and glare from S lighted fields. g) Consider acting as an umbrella organization to pursue • collaborations with non-profit and other public • agencies that provide recreation, education and social services in order to take advantage of State and • Federal "Safe Places for Kids" and other available public and private foundation grant programs that require a comprehensive community approach to addressing social issues. • 1. Pursue operating and administrating these programs within the areas of the community where they are most needed and look for inventive ways in those areas to provide space for J delivering services, such as, store fronts, medical facilities,industrial buildings and school portables. h) Locate neighborhood parks and mini parks adjacent to collector streets for safe, efficient, and convenient access.

However, land that has already been cleaned i up may be highly desirable for recreation and park uses. d) Consider the topography, soils, soil stability, drainage, and location of land in subdivision available for dedication. e) Evaluate the size and shape of the subdivision and land available for dedication. f) Review the location of the site with regard to accessibility by neighborhood residents and i contribution to neighborhood security. Item 6.2: Determine if any structures on the identified sites could be reused or retrofitted to meet City recreation needs. It is generally less expensive to reuse or retrofit existing buildings. All potential buildings should be evaluated for seismic and structural safety.

Suggestions include improvement of existing and development of new facilities; ensuring that recreation programs and services meet the 10 community needs and demands;ways to continue to expand • recreation facilities and services though joint-use and joint i development opportunities; and revenue enhancement. This Chapter also supports opportunities of acquiring parkland P � � City ment h the development process already used b y the Ci T g p • through the use of, development agreements and the Parkland • Dedication (Quimby Ordinance including Park In-Lieu Fees). • The recommendations and action items are presented to give City staff a plan from which to develop annual work programs for the next five years. Future Master Plan updates should be done in five-year increments and should be easily accomplished by: y � • • + Updating the existing facility inventory; • Reviewing the policies in Chapter 4 and updating as necessary; • Checking off accomplishments from the list of recommendations and action items below; and finally * Adding new recommendations and action items for the future. i In several of the recommendations, the City's ability- to achieve the outcome will depend upon the cooperation of others, changes in the community and priorities, as well as whether or • not funding sources are available. For example, the location and the development of some future recreation facilities such as lighted ball diamonds or a community swimming facility may depend on the City's ability to negotiate an equitable joint-use agreements with the school district, comnnnilty college or other Plan P 5 1 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master an age - • • • • • CHAPTER 5 Implementation Recommendations entity. Other opportunities should include exploring possible • public/private partnerships to develop needed facilities. 5.2 KEY FINDINGS • • The results of community input from the interviews and +� questionnaires clearly demonstrated the number one activity among families with children were organized sports: soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, and football; next came tennis and volleyball and activities such as skateboarding,walking, jogging, and running for exercise. Passive activities included picnicking, and children using a equipment. gp Y a q p • In terms of facilities, clearly the most asked for facility was an aquatics center or community swimming pool. This need is currently being filled in newer areas of the city by individual • housing developments which include swimming pools as a recreational amenity though the Homeowners'Association • (HOA). Another provider is a privately owned and operated health club which requires membership to attend. For the current S time, this has filled the need in the community for a competition • pool by entering into an arrangement with the MUSD to allow the high school swim teams access for practice. The lack of a public pool, therefore, is being felt the most by those who live in , areas without HOA pools as well as those who cannot afford membership at private health club. • Residents also expressed a need for dog parks, an amphitheater, • fully developed sports fields with lighting, participant and • spectator seating, and restrooms, a teen center, and skate park facilities. The City of Nloorpark offers a variety o special ecial interest � recreation programs. Some activities are offered by other organizations in the community with support from the City while '• other groups provide activities on their own. The recommended actions for program and activity development are offered to enhance the provision and coordination of existing programs and deN-clopment new programs for the community. • Page 5-2 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan • • • l • • • CHAPTER 5 Implementation Recommendations The following recommendations should be considered guidelines • that need to be reviewed as part of the mid-year and budget processes.

In advertising terms, there are two types of impressions: repeat impressions and one-time • impressions. Repeat impressions are those exposures to • the same people over, and over and one-time impressions are those that people see passing by Just once. Companies that are in to establish a brand identity like to trying tY advertise at locations that provide repeat impressions, while established brands prefer one-time locations that provide for brand reinforcement. RECOMMENDATION 5. 13: Study the feasibility of increasing fundin g for street lighting and landscaping, g• park assessment as well as for park development and improvements. Action Item 5.13.1: Conduct a citywide ballot measure mailed to all residents to seek an increase in assessments park maintenance and improvements as well as for street lighting and landscaping, which would decrease dependence on the general fund making those funds potentiall y available for parks and recreation. Action Item 5.13.2: Evaluate current Park In-Lieu fee schedule to ensure that fees collected cover the cost to provide improvements and park land to meet increased needs for parks and facilities. 5.6 MASTER PLAN REVIEW AND UPDATE The City, through the Parks, Recreation and Community Departments can monitor the development of its park system by tracking park improvements and comparing the number of facilities built against current population gains. Capital expenditure budgets and funding efforts should be driven by this methodology. It will be important for the City to monitor demographic shifts over the life of this Master Plan to enable fine-tuning to take place as demographics change. Moorpark Parks and Recreaflon Master Plan Page 5-13 • • CHAPTER 5 Implementation Recommendations Efforts to obtain funding from the recommended sources should i be monitored on an annual basis to evaluate which sources appear most promising at any given time. The capital expenditure budget priorities can then be revised as funding sources appropriate to specific development programs become available. Programs should be monitored annually as well. This should include an analysis of registration and participation numbers, revenue, and actual cost recovery of participant and user fees. Programs that do not generate adequate revenue, appropriate overhead cost percentage, or cover direct program costs should be analyzed to see if the program is really needed and unless . otherwise deemed necessary by the policy making body of the City discontinued to free up time and space for more valuable programs. In addition to annual updates and fine tuning, the City should review the entire Master Plan every five to seven years to make • sure its goals and policies are still current. This will also allow , staff to monitor the progress made towards accomplishing the action items. Changes or revisions to the Plan should be recommended based on changes in the recreation needs of the community. Input from the residents,local businesses, and other local service providers should be frequently solicited to provide confirmation that staff is keeping on track.

In • order to reach the goal for park space, the City will need to • employ creativity in looking for ways to make use of land or buildings not currently thought of as recreation spaces. The 0 City should plan for at least two new Neighborhood parks or • one Community and one Neighborhood park within the next five gears. i + Moorpark is conscientious about upgrading existing facilities as seen in its annual Goals and Ol eaii>es document.

It makes sense to explore the development of a teen center, either as a stand a alone facility or as part of an expansion to an existing facility, such as the library, community center or recreation center at • Arroyo Vista. As a first step toward exploring a teen center, conducting a Youth Master Plan, being sure to involve teens in the process, • could help to identify needs and uncover potential organizations to partner with for development. • The integration of art into public spaces has long been a goal of Moorpark.

The issues that affect the City's ability to • market its facilities are as follows: • • + The economic makeup and status of the City + The types of facilities, their projected use and attendance + The community's perception and acceptance of • commercialization + Income levels, race, ethnicity, and age demographics � g • • + The City's ordinances and regulations regarding signage, advertising, and use of public property for private commercial • purposes + The demand in the market place for commercial exposure in • Moorpark • + The City's ability to manage asset management contracts . + The political environment for balancing the need for revenue • versus commercialization of public facilities + Aesthetics, logistics, and the cost versus revenue benefits of asset management programs Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 6-3 • • • • • CHAPTER 6 Funding and Financial Analysis Generating revenue from the use of public facilities is a business venture and thus requires good business decisions and good • business practices when implementing asset management programs. For example, a City cannot decide to implement an information/advertising kiosk program at its parks and facilities but then decide to hide the kiosk in an obscure location because • it doesn't want to appear that it is commercializing its facilities. • The methodology the project team used in preparing the financial • analysis and developing the potential revenue programs included researching and analyzing potential sites for commercial use at City facilities that would provide the highest degree of exposure • while aesthetically fitting into the design and development of the • facility. • FINANCING AND REVENUE ANALYSIS Traditional financing ethods used b cities to develop Park and • g Y P • Recreation facilities include General Obligation Bonds, which require voter approval; and Park Bonds, usually in the form of a g special tax assessment, also requiring voter approval. The P q PP following sections briefly describe various options available to cities to find fundin g for projects or ongoing operations and g P • maintenance. USE OF BONDS TO FINANCE PARKS • • General Obligation Bonds make sense when a city has several different types of facilities it needs to develop and there is strong community support. For example,if a city wanted to build a new pp P tY police station, community park and library it may bundle all three into one General Obligation Bond. Hopefully this would create a wider voter support to get the two-thirds approval required by General Obligation Bonds. General Obligation Bonds usually do not succeed for special interest facilities unless they have the weight of the community behind them. PAYING FOR BONDS • • The most common method for implementing Recreation and Park facility development b�, the use of bonds is to gain voter • Page 6-4 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan , * • • i • • • CHAPTER 6 Funding and Financial Analysis approval for an additional property tax assessment to a for the PP P P ty pay debt of the Park Bonds. The bond issuing method is the same as General Obligation Bonds; they require two-thirds voter approval. However, along with the voter approval to issue the bonds, the voters need to approve an additional annual tax • assessment to pay for the debt service on the bonds. This approach is successful if there is strop community support PP g com �' su Pp for park facilities and implementing the Master Plan. The key to a successful Park Bond and tax assessment approval campaign is to work with a community groups to build support for the tax assessment and to educate the voters that the additional tax . assessment can only be used for development of the approved • park facilities. Most cities have found that Park Bonds with a tax assessment are most successful when placed on a general election ballot rather than a special election ballot. It usually takes at least two years to develop a community support groups, educate the voters, and • develop enough community support to get two-thirds approval. • Consequently, cities most likely will only be able to do a Park Bond with a tax assessment once every 10 to 20 years. Before this • financin g approach should be undertaken the City should Pp � � allocate some resources to doing a statistically valid community survey on how the community perceives the adopted Parks and Recreation Master Plan,if they would be willing to pay additional taxes to implement it, and if so, how much additional taxes would be acceptable. • The public's perception of value is the most important element of • P P p p generating a two-thirds voter approval. For example, the community may be willing to pay an additional $30 a year on their property taxes to implement a number of facilities they believe they will use, but not $100 a year. A statistically valid random phone survey is the only, way to find out what the community's i acceptance might be. This is absolutely necessary- if the City wishes to finance park facility development by going to the voters for approval of a Park Bond with a tax assessment. �} Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 6-5 • • • CHAPTER 6 Funding and Financial Analysis • There are other types of bonds: Revenue Bonds and Certificates of Participation, available for cities to finance Recreation and Park improvements. REVENUE BONDS Revenue Bonds are a popular way for cities to finance capital • improvements, especially Recreation and Park facilities, when the • facility being developed will generate the necessary revenue to . pay the debt service on the bonds. This method is common for p development of sports arenas, convention centers, and other facilities that generate revenue through admission, concessions, and rentals. Revenue Bonds require the city to provide collateral equal to one and half times the value of the bond issue. A city must provide collateral in the form of property, or properties it owns that have a market value of at least one and a half times the amount of revenue bond it wishes to issue. Revenue Bonds do not require voter approval but do require a four-fifths vote of the City Council. Revenue Bonds are usually combined with the establishment of an assessment district under AB 1600 and Asset Management programs which are explained later in this section. If the City can design capital improvements with revenue . generating components so that the debt service and the cost of maintenance and operations do not impact the City's general fund Revenue Bonds area ood approach to funding • g pp g facilities • where there is strong Council support and political motivation to develop the facilities. CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION • Certificates of Participation (COPs) are similar to Revenue Bonds in that they do not require voter approval, just a four-fifths Council vote. lend they require the City to provide collateral in the form of property equity one and a half times the market value of the proposed issue. The advantage of CODs is that they are issued iii script of$5,000 or $10,000 which allows for smaller investors to invest, and they are tax exempt, so interest rates are lower. 1\ ain, the keN� to this t�7 e of financing is to design the g �p g g proposed facilities with revenue generating components and/or Page 6-6 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan • CHAPTER 6 Funding and Financial Analysis combine it with an AB 1600 assessment district so that there is no i impact on the City's existing general fund to issue the COPs. • ASSESSMENT METHODS There are two main methods for establishing assessments to pay for Recreation and Park facility development; these are: + Lighting and Landscape Assessment Districts, Mello-Roos Community acilities District and other state legislation ty , g allowing cities to create assessment districts for capital i improvements. Each of these requires approval by the property owners who are within the district and are subject to paying the assessment. + State law AB 1600 allows cities to impose an assessment on properties within an improvement area when the city can show a nexus that the improvements being made are a benefit to the properties being assessed. Under this method of assessment the city sends a direct mail ballot to the property owners. If fewer than 50% of the property owners vote "No", it could implement the assessment. . Cities typically use enabling legislation for assessment districts for • facility improvements that impact or benefit the whole city or a specific area, such as for street lighting, storm drain improvements, sidewalks, etc. Some cities have had some success using this legislation to fund large community or regional park developments where there is broad community support for the w improvements. Newer cities have had the most success in setting up assessment districts, because they can be established when • only a few property owners are within the proposed assessment district. Established cities where there are thousands of property owners within the proposed assessment district have had trouble getting 50 0,16 approval. This legislation requires the city to do an • engineering study to determine the proportionate benefit each property within the proposed district receives. AB 1600 has se�reral benefits over other assessment legislation in that it is an impact fee. Unlike the benefit assessment districts, the city- does not have to do an engineering study to proportion the Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 6-7 i • CHAPTER 6 Funding nd Financial Anal sis q y cost according to benefit. The city simply has to make a finding that there is a need for recreation and park facilities based on the impact of the proposed development, and the proposed development is not contributing to mitigate the impact. This is accomplished by preparing a nexus study showing the • relationship between the defined impact and the facility or • facilities the proposed developments impact. r For example,if the city wanted to use AB 1600 to impose an impact fee on new commercial and industrial development, it would need to do nexus studies to determine if existing i commercial and industrial properties have an impact on its recreation and park facilities. If the City finds that employees in commercial and industrial businesses use the City's recreation and p ark facilities, employers use the park s ystem and/or recreation , programs as recruiting tools, and as a result commercial and industrial property increases in value due to a well developed and maintained park system, the City could use the authority under AB 1600 to impose a park fee on new commercial and industrial development. LEASE PURCHASE FINANCING r A newer concept in financing Recreation and Park improvements • being used successfully by cities is a form of lease/purchase financing. Under the lease/purchase financing method, the city would contract with a financial institution that would p ut • r together an investment group. The city would then lease the proposed site and facility improvements to the investment group who would provide the funding for the development of the site and facility. The investment group then leases the site and facility back to the city at a lease rate equal to the cost of the financing the investment group provides to the city for the development of the site and facility. The lease serves as the collateral for the financing, not other real property, as is the case in issuing revenue bonds or COPs. If the cite defaults on the lease payments, the investment group would own the lease and could operate the facility or contract the operation of the facili . to a third party. The citNT owns the site throughout the lease purchase period, and at the end of the lease period, the cite owns the improvements Page 6-8 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan ,.sk • CHAPTER 6 Funding and Financial Analysis • free and clear. This form of financin g �currentl y has very ttractive ry interest rates,is tax exempt for investors, and does not impact the city's bond indebtedness or credit rating. • This type of financing is best used for facility development . whereby the facility generates revenue. Municipal parking structures are one type of facility that cities have been very • successful in using this financmi method. It can be used for non- revenue-producing facilities whereby the lease payments are paid from the city's general fund;however,with competing needs it may be politically difficult to dedicate general funds for lease payments. The term of the lease is set by the city and can be any length. Another attractive feature of this form of financing is the low cost of issuance compared to Bond issues. The City could also use non-tax-exempt lease purchase financing to acquire commercial or industrial property. As a lessee, the City could lease to a commercial recreation developer/operator for the development and operation of major commercial recreation facilities, such as batting cages, sports complexes, dance studios, • fitness/health centers, community theatres, skateboard parks and • BMX courses. GRANT PROGRAMS The City should apply for and make use of both state and federal grant programs. Per capita grant programs such as Proposition 12, Proposition 40, and Roberti-Z'berg can provide the City with funding for both improvement of existing facilities and acquisition and development of new facilities. Most of these grant programs are based on a per capita distribution and some require matching funds by the Cite. Federal grant programs such as • Community Development Block Grants (CDBG) and Urban Recreation and Park Programs can provide funding for specialized facilities that meet the criteria for these particular • rant programs. These programs can be used in coordination g p g p g with non-profit group fund raising, such as, youth sports groups, to obtain funding for sports fields and other facilities. Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 6-9 • • CHAPTER 6 Funding and Financial Analysis • The City should also consider combining several different grant programs for the development of a single project. For example, the City could apply for several different beautification grants, trails grants, storm drain improvement grants,urban park • development grants, open space grants, and per capita grants to • accomplish the funding necessary for one single project. Helping • non-profit organizations write and apply for private foundation g rants that the City, as a public agency is not eligible to apply for • is another way to secure funding for facilities. PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Communities can sometimes meet their recreational needs by encouraging the development of private recreation facilities. This can be in the form of partnerships with pre-school and day-care centers, churches, nonprofit organizations, schools, or • commercial recreation companies. For example,if the City has a • need for recreational swim opportunities, it may be able to lease • public property to a water park operator for a commercial water ark to meet the community ty needs. In today's political and economic climate many cities are partnering with school districts or non-profits for joint • development and sharing of such facilities as sports fields, gymnasiums, swimming pools, skate parks, stadiums, theaters, . and outdoor community event space. COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS � A key lement of funding Recreation and Park facilities is Y g community support. Whether the funding method is bonds, assessment districts, asset management, or joint partnerships, it will be necessary to build community support in order to implement facility development. The best way to build community support for facility development is by establishing a • nonprofit community foundation made up of concerned • volunteers to support the Cit<1 implementation of its Parks and Recreation Master Plan. In addition,, a Parks and r a d R ec eatlon Community Foundation can also :rovide the following: g Page 6-10 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan `{N� • CHAPTER 6 Funding and Financial Analysis • An organization that can accept donations that are tax deductible to the contributor • • An organization that can apply for grants that are not eligible for government application • An organization that can put on fundraising campaigns and �s recruit a large volunteer base to implement the campaigns • g p p • An organization that can partner with other nonprofits, such as churches, service clubs and organizations and private • companies to j ointl dl • p l Y develop recreation facilities The key to developing a successful Community Parks and • Recreation Foundation is in the development of by-laws establishing the foundation, recruitment of board members and training of volunteers. The by-laws should be developed so that they are specific about the role and duties of the foundation. very s p Board members should represent all segments of the community and not be controlled by any one special interest group. ENTERPRISE FUNDS Enterprise Funds are not ways to finance capital improvements for parks and recreation facilities, however, they are a way of operating park and recreation facilities that allow municipalities to • generate income from them and keep that income to either • improve or expand the recreation facility. An enterprise fund establishes a separate accounting and financial reporting mechanism for municipal facilities or services for which a fee is charged for admission or use. Under enterprise account- ing, the revenues and expenditures of the service are segregated • into a separate fund with its own financial statements, rather than commingled with the revenues and expenses of all other govern- mental activities. Financial transactions are reported using standards similar to private sector accounting. Revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred, under a full accrual basis of accounting. An enterprise fund provides management and taxpayers with information to: • �aY' e 6-1 1 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Pa }'` p g CHAPTER 6 Funding and Financial Analysis • • Measure performance • p Analyze the impact of financial decisions • Determine the cost of providing a service • Identify any subsidy from the general fund in providing a service • Enterprise accounting allows a community to demonstrate to the public the portion of total costs of a service that is recovered through user charges and asset management and the portion that is subsidized by taxpayers. A community may choose to recover • total service costs through user charges,but it is not required. S Enterprise funds frequently are used to account for services • whose costs are only partially funded by fees and charges. For example, a municipality with a community aquatic center that generates revenue through fees, charges, and concessions could operate as an Enterprise Fund, which would allow the city to determine what percentage of the total operating budget is covered by income from the facility. If the facility is popular and is able to generate enough revenue to build a capital replacement i fund or expand services to the public,using an enterprise fund to account for these revenues allows a municipality to dedicate any i surplus revenue to the facility rather than closing it into the general fund. Retained earnings may b appropriated only g Y e a g pp p Y for expenditures to the enterprise fund that generated the revenue. For example, revenue generated from the aquatic's complex cannot be used to fund a new skate park. Under California Department of Finance guidelines, enterprise funds may be , established by municipalities "for a utility, health care facility, recreational facility or transportation facility." A community may not establish enterprise funds for normal government operations • or services such as building rentals, maintenance services, or cemeteries. Establishing an Enterprise Fund does not create a separate or autonomous entity from the municipal government operation. , The municipal department operating the enterprise service • continues to fulfill financial and managerial reporting require- ments like ever, other department. Page 6-12 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan : • • CHAPTER 6 Funding and Financial Analysis ASSET MANAGEMENT Besides raising revenue through bonds, assessment districts and impact fees, several cities in California are developing and implementing Asset Management Plans to generate income to pay for facility development and maintenance. Asset Management is defined as using the City's facilities and other assets for business purposes in order to generate revenue without raising taxes. The recommendations for this method of raising revenue are explained in Chapter 6. ASSET MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES S Through the community input process and surveys, the • consensus was that the community understood the need for revenue development and would be generally accepting of some commercialization in order to ensure quality programming and maintenance of City facilities. However, there was concern for aesthetics and too much commercialization of public facilities. • The three components to developing an asset management plan • include: Revenue from facility rentals, fees, and charges S + Leases or licenses for private concessions i . + Advertising/vending/sponsorship opportunities After reviewing all of the City's Parks and Recreation sites the project team has developed the following list of advertising/ • vending/sponsorship opportunities for the City's consideration: ® Parking lot and walkway banner programs e Public telephone kiosk ® Shade shelter advertising • Information and advertising kiosk ® Soda/water/juice vending s Telecommunication tower leases Naming rights and/or facility sponsorship g s g � p p Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 6-13 • • • • CHAPTER 6 Funding and Financial Analysis • Several of these revenue categories are advertising programs, and the potential revenue is dependant upon the number of impressions that can be generated on the proposed site. In advertising terms, there are two types of impressions: repeat w impressions and one-time impressions. Repeat impressions are • those exposures to the same people over, and over and one-time impressions are those that people see passing by just once. Companies that are trying to establish a brand identity like to p rY g �' advertise at locations that provide repeat impressions, while established brands prefer one-time locations that provide for brand reinforcement. S The Moorpark Parks and Recreation facilities have the potential Y to offer both types of advertising locations. The value of these locations is determined by the number of visits and the amount A of participation at each site. The extent of advertising programs the City wishes to use to offset maintenance and operational costs will have to be a policy x p p y decision made by elected officials. The key is to design the �l ` facilities with these programs in mind so that they fit in and look a part of the environment instead of lookin g like after thoughts U, that stand out and are unsightly additions. They need to be attractive structures, located for maximum exposure and have S control as to content, so as not to create public controversy or i opposition. The extent of commercial advertising should not be offensive to visitors or participants or it will defeat the purpose and turn people away from using the facilities. The revenue generated from the russet Management categories listed above could provide the following ranges of revenue to w offset the costs to maintain and operate the City's Recreation and Park facilities. , UZ Banner sponsor programs are Implemented through media 4 companies who sell the advertisin and take care of installing and ♦. .� ,tt p g replacing the banners and should provide the City with a range of $10 to $15 per month per banner location. If the City could Page 6-14 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan • CHAPTER 6 Funding and Financial Analysis designate a minimum of 200 sites for banners, the could � Y generate a range of income of$2,000 to $3000 per month from this program. ..:::.....: , ~ Public telephone advertising s m kiosks are implemented lemented through • :x .=n private companies, and license agreements and could produce as much as $300 per month at each location. , i ? i Information kiosks are installed and maintained by private 3. companies who allow the City to post City information on one ii a panel while using the remaining panels for advertising k gp g ::,A`` 'S��♦�Stdxa::::isi:::::::9..:::::::;<..::::::;.::x::iva3.tua":�� iLQ2'L'N purposes. Each kiosk could provide the City with a minimum • of$200 per month in income and thus produce an estimated total of$4,000.00 per month if 20 kiosks are implemented at strategic locations. Food and rental concessions for various types of snacks, bicycles and skates usually require a 1200 square foot pad and should lease for a minimum of$500 per month.

The residents and the City of Moorpark have expressed the need for many new facilities and improvements to existing. Table 6.1 below summarizes capital and non-capital projects recommended- in the plan. In order to fund these projects, the City must take an entrepre- neurial approach, especially in considering the creation of an aquatics center.

Possible such partners • might be the MUSD) Moorpark College and private swimmin g clubs. . The type of aquatic center that is proposed for $14,000,000 • would include the following amenities: • 10-lane, 25 m x 25 yd competition lap pool • 8,300 s.f. recreational ool with zero depth entry, 4 la swim p P trY p sw lanes, 125 ft. two-flume waterslides and wet-play structure with multiple splash features • 1,500 s.f. therapy pool • Locker room with workout facilities and equipment • Open air enclosure for year-round use The purpose of an aquatic center of this nature would be to make it a regional attraction as well as providing needed recreational and health opportunities for the City's residents and those of the • surrounding area. To afford the all the capital projects listed above and projected annual operations and maintenance of approximately $300,000, the City would need to employ many of the asset management strategies defined above. As an example: Building two cell phone booster sites and four cell phone repeater sites into new construction around the City and within park locations could result in annual revenue of$200,000. The community expressed an acceptance of incorporating • advertising into public venues. Placing banners, selling naming rights or placing informational kiosks at key locations could yield additional revenue. ,z Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan Page 6-17 • • • CHAPTER 6 Funding and Financial Anal sis Y � For projects that would benefit the entire community, such as a • performance venue and aquatic center,voters might support a • bond issue with an annual assessment for development of such facilities. Before pursuing a park bond the City should conduct a citywide survey on how likely voters would be to approve a bond • issue for the chosen facilities and how much they might be • willing to pay annually in additional property taxes to have such facilities in the community. In the case of the Aquatics Center,if the City can partner with other agencies so that taxpayers only are asked to cover a third of the cost, it may be more politically palatable and financially • feasible to pass a bond issue with an additional tax assessment. • Building in revenue producing components to the design and operation of the facility can insure the public that the City won't be back at a later time to ask for more taxes to maintain the facility after its built. • Building community support is the most important factor in • obtaining approval of a park bond. The City should plan on spending at least two years doing an Aquatics Center Feasibility Study and organizing community su pp ort groups and potential development partners before it pursues any of the funding/ financing methods suggested in this chapter for development of an Aquatics Center. • • In conclusion, there is no one way to finance and fund park and recreation facihty development. By using multiple methods, as explained in this chapter, the City may be able to develop d p p � �, �y p an � provide the community with the recreation facilities the community deems most important to them. • • • • • • • • Page 6-18 Moorpark Parks and Recreation Master Plan • • • \ "4 Y § S S� iS. - :,tk 7;,# p n =7 C\ '.;�;;::I I M:: .l.

General Obligation Bonds—Bonds that are issued by cities and counties for the acquisition and improvement of real . property,including open space. Issuance of bonds is remised on a two-thirds voter approval. General i p pp . Obligation bonds are secured primarily by ad valorem property taxes at whatever rate is required to service the debt. Cities and counties may increase property taxes beyond the normal Proposition 13 limit to pay the principal and interest on the bonds. Since investors often perceive property taxes as being less risky than the security for other types of indebtedness, General Obligation bonds may be issued at relatively lower interest rates. • Joint Use Agreement—An agreement that provides for shared • use, operation and maintenance of properties owned by i all parties entering into the agreement.
