These include: Montecito Park P-3 in Village 2, Park P-2, P-5 and P-1 in Village 2, Stylus Park & Orion Park in Millenia, Orange Park, Planning Area 12 Park and the Village 3 Neighborhood Park. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW Environmental Notice: The activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) no environmental review is required. RECOMMENDATION: No recommendation, this is an information item only. DISCUSSION: Montecito Park, Park P-3 Village 2 Phase 1, (4 acres of this 7.55 acre park) has been bid by the developer as a prevailing wage contract. Because some PAD fees were paid to the City prior to the decision to develop the park as a ‘turnkey’ park the City and the Developer have prepared a reimbursement agreement to re- imburse the relevant PAD fees to the developer for actual park construction. This agreement is scheduled for City Council approval at their meeting on Nov 8th 2016. A ground breaking event is planned for Nov 9th. Construction will take 1 year followed by 1 year of maintenance establishment. Phase 2 has been designed but will be bid at a time when the water line beneath the site has been relocated. November 17, 2016, Item 2 Parks and Recreation Commission AGENDA STATEMENT Page 5 ׀ Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda November 17, 2016 Parks P-2, P-5 and P-1 Village 2 According to the trigger in the Village 2 Neighborhood Parks Agreement, the design for Park P-2 is due to commence. Being a turnkey park, the developer is preparing an RFQ/RFP for this and two other parks P-5 and P-1. The aim of qualifying consultants and receiving proposals for 3 parks simultaneously, is to streamline the selection and speed up park delivery. Stylus Park – Millenia The construction of this 1.97 acre park is complete excluding some turf areas which were planted from grass seed and take longer to establish. These areas are remaining fenced off until the grass is established. In the interim the rest of the park opened to the public on August 13, 2016. Views of the park after dark Orange Park, This 3.9 acre park in western Chula Vista reached the end of the maintenance establishment period and opened to the public in August 2016. Orion Park Millenia The master plan for this 1.51 acre park design was approved by Parks and Recreation Commission (PRC) on June 21, 2016 and City Council on July 26, 2016. As part of the approval process, and at the recommendation of PRC, the preliminary name, ‘Strata Park’, was replaced by the name ‘Orion Park’. The developer’s landscape architect is developing the design towards the production of construction plans in conjunction with City Staff. Once these are complete they will be bid by the developer. Page 6 ׀ Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda November 17, 2016 Planning Area 12 Park The developer is in the process of appointing the landscape architect for the design of this 2 acre turnkey park.

RELATIONSHIP TO THE CITY’S STATEGIC PLAN The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community.

Page 18 ׀ Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda November 17, 2016 November 17, 2016, Item 7 Parks and Recreation Commission AGENDA STATEMENT DATE: November 17, 2016 Item Title: Recommendation to the City Council for Approval of the Otay Valley Regional Park Concept Plan update Submitted By: Cheryl Goddard, Senior Planner, Development Services Department Reviewed By: Kelly Broughton, Director of Development Services Kristi McClure Huckaby, Director of Recreation SUMMARY The Cities of Chula Vista and San Diego as well as the County of San Diego entered into a Joint Exercises of Powers Agreement (JEPA) in 1990 for the coordination of planning, acquisition and design of the Otay Valley Regional Park (OVRP). The JEPA established a three member Policy Committee (PC) of elected officials, and a 21-member Citizen Advisory Committee (CAC). The CAC recommended that the PC approve the OVRP Concept Plan Update (Concept Plan Update) on June 23, 2016. The PC approved the Concept Plan Update on July 28, 2016, and directed Joint Staff (staff representing the three jurisdictions) to go forward to their respective Councils and Boards for approval of the Concept Plan Update. The planning area for the OVRP is located in the southern portion of San Diego County, four miles north of the international border. The Regional Park will extend over 11 miles from the southeastern edge of the South Bay Wildlife Refuge through the Otay River Valley to the land surrounding Otay Lakes. The Park Plan Boundary encompasses approximately 9,000 acres. The OVRP, when connected to the proposed Otay Ranch open space, will provide a 19-mile open space corridor extending from San Diego Bay to State Route 94. Currently the OVRP has nearly 6,500 acres within public ownership. The Concept Plan Update is a framework plan that will provide direction and guidance in park land acquisition and development efforts, and the evaluation of proposals that may affect the OVRP. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The City of Chula Vista as a responsible agency, and the County of San Diego as the lead agency, have found the project qualifies for a Statutory Exemption pursuant to Section 15262 (Feasibility and Planning Studies) of the CEQA State Guidelines. The Concept Plan Update is general in nature, and does not include any details on specific park improvements. Prior to the development of any park improvements, detailed development plans will have to be prepared. During the preparation of plans for specific park improvement projects, project specific environmental review and permitting will take place. Therefore, the document is considered a feasibility and planning study which is statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15262. Additionally, the Concept Plan Update is a framework plan that does not propose to construct any physical facilities or improvement under this Council Action. RECOMMENDATION: That the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend the City Council approve the OVRP Concept Plan Update. DISCUSSION: Background Page 19 ׀ Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda November 17, 2016 Former Chula Vista Mayor Greg Cox (now County Supervisor and member of the OVRP Policy Committee) introduced the idea of creating a regional park in the Otay Valley to the City Council in 1988. The former Mayor recommended that the planning effort for the park be a cooperative one involving the Cites of Chula Vista and San Diego and the County of San Diego. Since that time, the three member agencies entered into a JEPA in 1990 (Attachment 1) and adopted an OVRP Concept Plan in 1997. The, Concept Plan was revised in 2001 to be in conformance with the County of San Diego, City of San Diego and City of Chula Vista elements of the Multiple Species Conservation Program (MSCP). The proposed update before you. In 2016, the Concept Plan was reviewed and updated for changes in existing conditions and potential Regional Park enhancements. OVRP Goal Statement In 1990, the Policy Committee adopted the OVRP Goal Statement: • Provide for the protection of environmentally sensitive areas and important cultural resources by identifying an open space core/preserve area; • Identifies areas adjacent to the open space core for active and passive recreational development opportunities; • Includes a trail system with staging areas, viewpoints and overlooks, and connections to recreation areas and adjacent public lands and trails; and • Envisions interpretive centers for environmental and educational programs. OVRP Segments The Concept Plan Update designates generalized land uses, or Elements, throughout the Park Plan Boundary and divides the proposed park into the following five geographic Segments: • South San Diego Bay to Interstate 5 • Interstate 5 to Interstate 805 • Interstate 805 to Heritage Road • Heritage Road to Otay Reservoirs Vicinity • Otay Reservoirs Vicinity Concept Plan Update Elements The following Elements are included in the Concept Plan Update: • Boundary: Includes all areas, both publicly and privately owned, proposed for inclusion in the Regional Park. The Boundary is conceptual in nature and thus does not strictly follow property lines. It is intended to outline and generally identify the areas needed to protect sensitive resources or the areas that would be suitable for recreational uses. • Alternative Boundary: Areas outside the Boundary but have been identified as open space in private development plans and connect to the Open Space/Core Preserve Area of the Regional Park, or have the potential to offer a significant opportunity for open space or recreation in the future. • Open Space/Core Preserve Area: Areas intended to protect biologically sensitive habitat areas and provide a regional wildlife corridor from South San Diego Bay to the Otay Reservoirs. It consists of wetland areas including the Otay River, permanent and seasonal ponds and vernal pools, steep slopes, biologically sensitive areas, habitat linkages, and disturbed areas where resources will be enhanced. In general, most of the floodway and floodplain of the river and most slopes over 25 percent have been included within the Open Space/Core Preserve Area. Page 20 ׀ Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda November 17, 2016 The boundary of the Open Space/Core Preserve Area is contiguous with the Multiple Habitat Planning Area boundary designated in the Subarea Plans for the Cities of San Diego and Chula Vista and the County’s Southern Segment Plan of the MSCP. Trails, staging areas, viewpoints and overlooks, and interpretive centers may be located and developed within this area, subject to the requirements and guidelines of the MSCP. • Recreation Area: Areas that may be suitable for a variety of active or passive recreational uses. They are intended to provide land suitable for development of recreational facilities that are regional in scope and may also serve community and neighborhood needs. Typical amenities may include but are not limited to large recreational centers, passive and active turf areas, hard-court play areas, children’s play areas, restrooms, pavilions and monument signs. They may also provide Staging Areas, Interpretive Centers, Ranger Stations, and Viewpoint and Overlook Areas, as appropriate. • Trail Corridor: Trail Corridors are intended to provide a continuous link through the Regional Park, connecting the Recreation Areas and Interpretive Centers through the Open Space/Core Preserve Area. The Trail Corridor provides for hiking, bicycling, and equestrian trails. Within OVRP, there are approximately 9 miles of existing trails, with the potential for approximately 40 miles of conceptual trail corridors, subject to trail siting criteria. In accordance with the MSCP, additional trail corridors may be sited in the future. • Staging Area: Areas that function as neighborhood or regional access points to OVRP and may be located conveniently near public transit stations or stops. They may provide access to Trail Corridors or Recreation Areas or link the two. There may be car, equestrian trailers and/or bicycle parking, picnic facilities, and interpretive kiosks or signs in Staging Areas. • Viewpoint and Overlook Area: Areas that provide sites for short- and long-range views into and through the Regional Park. They are intended to be used as areas for passive enjoyment of the park and may include minimal seating and interpretive signage. • Interpretive Center: Interpretive Centers are intended to provide an opportunity to present environmental education and historical interpretation for OVRP users. They may include a structure with related parking areas or may be as simple as a small outdoor area with a kiosk, located along a trail or staging area. • Park Study Area: Areas with special conditions requiring further analysis before final land uses are established. Privately Owned Property Much of the land within the Concept Plan Update is privately owned and has development potential based on existing zoning, land use plans, and other development regulations. The Concept Plan Update does not change existing zoning or land use plans, or add new development regulations. It does not preclude private development. It provides policy direction for the jurisdictions for coordinated land acquisition and development for the Regional Park within this framework of private property rights. Concept Plan Implementation Over the past 26 years since the execution of the JEPA, approximately 9 miles of multi-use trails have been constructed and rehabilitated; 7 staging areas improved and opened; a ranger station constructed, wetland and upland areas restored; hundreds of community habitat cleanup and educational outreach events held; and natural and cultural resources have been protected. With the approval of the Concept Plan Update, the JEPA agencies will continue to proceed with the implementation and development of the OVRP. DECISION MAKER CONFLICT Page 21 ׀ Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda November 17, 2016 Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the Parks and Recreation Commission members and has found no property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100,et seq.). Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any Parks and Recreation Commission member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter. RELATIONSHIP TO THE CITY’S STRATEGIC PLAN The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The Concept Plan Update addresses the Healthy Community and Connected Community goals as it seeks to provide recreational opportunities for residents. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT There is no current fiscal year impact to the City. ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT On-going land acquisition and implementation of the Concept Plan Update will occur through a combination of funding sources including federal and state grants as well as general fund-supported staffing resources. Future costs for park development and management will be presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission and Council when more information is available. ATTACHMENTS 1. OVRP JEPA 2. OVRP Concept Plan Update Prepared by: Cheryl Goddard, Senior Planner, Development Services Department Page 22 ׀ Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda November 17, 2016 November 17, 2016, Item 8 Parks and Recreation Commission AGENDA STATEMENT DATE: NOVEMBER 17, 2016 ITEM TITLE: HISTORY AND MISSION OF THE YOUTH SPORTS COUNCIL SUBMITTED BY: Anthony Ramos, Recreation Supervisor III Gilbert Contreras, Principal Recreation Manager Youth Sports Council President’s Committee REVIEWED BY: Kristi McClure Huckaby, Director of Recreation SUMMARY The Recreation Department in conjunction with the President’s Committee of the Youth Sports Council (YSC) created a joint report on the history and mission of the YSC. Since the last report was presented in May 2013, an update is relevant at this time as there are many new Parks and Recreation Commissioners. The intent of the report is to familiarize the commissioners with the YSC. At the inception of the YSC, both parks and recreation were under one department known as the Parks and Recreation Department. In approximately 1997-1998, the department was separated with parks being added to the Public Works Department and Recreation remaining as its own department. The Recreation Department staff works with the YSC on field allocations (getting kids organized and on the fields) and the Public Works Department - Parks Operations works with the YSC on park maintenance. RECOMMENDATION Commission to receive the report. DISCUSSION The City’s Youth Sports Council (YSC) was established in February of 1990, following formal action by both the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Chula Vista City Council. On October 19, 1989, the Parks and Recreation Commission approved the YSC overview and bylaws, and staff to pursue the formation of an YSC. On February 27, 1990, the City Council approved Resolution 15536, authorizing the Parks and Recreation Department to establish a Youth Sports Council. A copy of the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting minutes and the original YSC Overview and Bylaws, as well as the City Council report and Resolution, is attached to this report. The primary interest in establishing the YSC was to assist the City and youth sports organizations in coordination and scheduling the use of City-owned fields. The City’s available inventory of fields was not increasing as fast as demand for their use, and a first-come first- served system of issuing permits was becoming difficult to administer in a fair and equitable manner. There was also an interest on the part of all parties to enhance communications between Page 23 ׀ Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda November 17, 2016 the youth-serving organizations and the City. The YSC concept is the most efficient and equitable means of allocating field usage among the City’s many youth sport’s leagues. The Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council agreed that the YSC would be a self- governing body that would be comprised of representatives from youth sports organizations, and would abide by its own bylaws, procedures and policies. Today, the YSC is comprised of leaders from over 700 teams, across 22 organizations, inclusively serving close to 10,000 of the City’s youth athletes at all economic and athletic levels – there’s something for everyone! • Multiple programs specifically for children with disabilities • Free and low-cost sports programs • Recreational leagues for fun filled competitions; and • Competitive club leagues for more spirited competitions The YSC started nearly three decades ago as an invention of necessity in the face of discontent from increased demands for field use that outpaced the City’s limited resources in terms of capacity and workforce. While demand for use in relation to available fields remains at all-time highs, functionality and civility have prospered through the council model adopted and implemented by the City. Over the years, the YSC has evolved and flourished into a model of civic pride and responsibility that cannot be matched. Why does the Youth Sports Council model work so well? Working under its bylaws and in conjunction with the Recreation Department and the Public Works Department - Parks Operations, the YSC excels because it fosters responsibility and accountability from all of its participants – stakeholders – in a realistic, thoughtful, proactive and forward-thinking manner. • Membership – bylaws establish written criteria to join and remain active, including provisions for discipline, if necessary. In 2007, at the suggestion of the Parks and Recreation Department, the YSC agreed to place a moratorium on new membership, pending an increase in field quantity, and quality, to preserve a proper balance and ensure that all future organization’s needs can be served without detrimentally impacting existing usage and condition of the fields. The moratorium was reviewed at the Youth Sports Council meeting on January 9, 2014. The Presidents Committee recommended and the YSC approved that a renewed moratorium be reinstated with an expiration date of January 31, 2017. • Accountability – Members are required to attend monthly board meetings where the YSC works with the City to timely identify and actively address any concerns (usage, maintenance, turf conditions, discipline, special projects, upcoming events, etc. …) • Allocations – (setting times, days and types of use of for fields) – subject to the turf condition as detailed in the City’s Field Management Reports provided by Public Works - Parks Operations, fields are made available for allocation by the YSC on a seasonal basis. The members participate in this collaborative allocation process Page 24 ׀ Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda November 17, 2016 working with each other and Public Works – Parks Operations to adjust usage based on appropriate factors to achieve balance. • Responsibility – Members work closely with Public Works - Parks Operations to preemptively address a variety of field issues, including drought issues and water saving measures. Recently, the YSC, in conjunction with Public Works - Parks Operations, sought out, retained and paid for a company to undertake soils testing to evaluate field soil conditions, which in some cases have been negatively affected by the increased use of recycled water. Working together a soil treatment plan was recommended to counteract the detrimental effects of using recycled water and to otherwise recondition the soils to facilitate healthier turf. This example of proactive joint effort results in the City continuing to save water while simultaneously preserving turf conditions for all of the parks’ users. • Field Improvements – During the budget crisis, and on ongoing basis, YSC members have answered the call donating not only money, but much needed volunteer hours to assist in achieving field improvements. • Efficiency and Cost-Savings – Not only does the council promote civility, accountability, civic pride and responsibility it does so in an efficient manner thereby saving the City a great deal of money every year by reducing inefficiencies and fragmentation. These savings can be achieved, in part, because the YSC establishes clear and controlled lines of communication between the City and its youth organizations with respect to the vast majority of issues concerning field usage. Additionally, Members, through donations and contributions, supplement the Public Works – Parks Operations’ budget – that is a win-win for everyone. The YSC, and the member groups it represents, has a vested interest in the betterment of our City. The members of the YSC contribute over 945,000 hours annually to this community! With that kind of involvement, it is easy to understand why the YSC has the reach that it does and the ability to positively impact the lives of nearly 10,000 youth athletes every year along with their extended families. Logistics – How does the YSC work? The YSC meets on a monthly basis, on the second Thursday of the month. Agendas are developed jointly by the YSC President and City staff, and the agendas and minutes from the previous month’s meeting are sent to membership by email prior to the meeting by the YSC Secretary. Member organizations are required to be located within the City limits of Chula Vista and registered 501 (C)(3) non-profits, with at least 75% of their participants residing in Chula Vista. The tax-exempt status of member organizations is confirmed twice a year before each allocation period and participant residency was last confirmed approximately 6 months ago. YSC member organizations pay the City $11/team/season for use of fields. Use of night-lighted ballfields costs an additional $15/hour plus any required staff time. There are also tournament fees assessed when organizations are sponsoring tournaments that involve non-YSC member organizations. Page 25 ׀ Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda November 17, 2016 Separate and distinct from the field fees are the monetary donations that the YSC member organizations have been making to the City. These fees are $11 per participant, per sport, per season towards supplemental maintenance on the fields used by the YSC. The YSC works with the Public Works - Parks Operations to identify specific projects to be completed based on the quarterly Field Management Report. The Public Works - Parks Operations has implemented an inventory and tracking method to visually inspect the fields and assign a condition to monitor its improvement or deterioration. These reports, provided quarterly, can be used to compare and track fields on an ongoing basis. As mentioned earlier in this report, one of the tasks of the YSC is to coordinate the use of City- owned facilities with the City and among the member organizations. These field assignments, more commonly referred to as “allocations” are determined twice a year, and result in the issuance of 6-month field use permits by the City. An over-simplified description of the process follows: • Organizations submit field use requests on standardized forms to the Recreation Department staff liaison • A request ‘matrix’ is established by the Recreation Department staff liaison, showing available fields and requests for those fields. • Before a field can be allocated the Public Works - Parks Operations provides an updated report. • An Allocation Committee (made up of one representative from each requesting organization and the Recreation Department staff liaison) reviews the matrix, and collectively determines what groups will be assigned to what fields. • If conflicting requests cannot be worked out at the Allocation Committee meeting, the organizations involved submit formal appeals. • An Appeals Committee reviews the conflicting requests, and presents their recommendations to the Allocation Committee. The Allocation Committee makes the final decision on field use. • Use permits are issued by Recreation Department staff liaison for the fields according to the decisions reached by the Allocation Committee. Challenges facing the Youth Sports Council: • Increased public interest in the programs and activities offered by member organizations, resulting in a potential increase in the number of participants and a commensurate need for additional field space for practices and games. • The YSC utilizes 77 fields covering 77.7 acres on 33 different parks throughout the City. It should be noted that only a portion of the City’s parks are part of this allocation process and the City’s remaining parks remain available for public and other group uses pursuant to City guidelines. Fields, which are part of the YSC allocation process, can be taken in and out of inventory, limited, or scheduled for rest Page 26 ׀ Parks and Recreation Commission Agenda November 17, 2016 and/or renovation. This can sometimes have a significant impact on the allocation process, especially if the fields have lights because of the extremely limited number of lighted fields. • Increasing interest in YSC membership by other youth sports organizations that are serving Chula Vista residents. The Youth Sports Council would like to thank the Parks and Recreation Commissioners for their past, and continued, support and would further encourage each of you to come to our meetings to experience first-hand the inner workings of the council and see why it is so successful. RELATIONSHIP TO THE CITY’S STRATEGIC PLAN The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The overview of the history and mission of the Youth Sports Council addresses the Operational Excellence, Healthy Community, and Connected Community goals as it seeks to provide recreational opportunities for residents.
