SUMMARY
The Len Moore Skate Park ("Skate Pazk"), located within the Greg Rogers Pazk, is
operated under an existing Lease and Operating Agreement with the Boys & Girls Club
of Chula Vista ("B&G Club"). Since beginning operations in 2003 the use of Bicycle
Motocross ("BMX") bicycles at the facility has been prohibited by City of Chula Vista
Municipal Code Chapter 2.66. In the time since opening of the Skate Pazk, interest and
demand for BMX bicycle access has increased. Experience elsewhere in California and
across the United States has shown that the originally feared negative consequences of
BMX bicycle use were without foundation. Staffs research indicates that there has not
been any significant increase in physical damage to facilities or personal injury occurring
in controlled pazks where BMX bicycle use is permitted. These recommended
amendments would allow BMX bicycle use at the Skate Park specifically. The ban would
remain in force at all other City facilities.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed action for compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and has determined that the
activity is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Title 14 of the
California Code of Regulations, Chapter 3, Article 19, (the "State CEQA Guidelines")
Section 15323, "Normal Operations of Facilities for Public Gatherings" because the
action only consists of the normal operations of existing facilities for public gatherings
for which the facilities were designed and there is a past history of the facility being used
for the same or similar kind of purpose. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15300 et seq. of
the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt a) the Resolution approving an Amendment and Restatement of the
existing Lease and Operating Agreement with the Boys and Girls Club of Chula Vista and b) the
Ordinance approving an Amendment to Chula Vista Municipal Code Section 2.66.255 allowing
bicycle use at the Len Moore Skate Park.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION
The Pazks and Recreation Commission heazd this item at their January 15, 2009 meeting
and recommends that the City Council adopts the subject Resolution and Ordinance.
DISCUSSION
BMX bicycle use was originally prohibited at Len Moore Skate Park due to concern that
the use would cause damage to the facility causing increased maintenance costs and that
there could also be a potential increase in liability exposure. Since 2003 a number of
cities in San Diego County have allowed use of BMX bicycles in their skate parks of
similar construction to the Len Moore Skate Pazk without incurring damage to the
facilities. It should also be noted that there has not been an increase in personal injury.
City staff from Recreation and Public Works Departments inspected facilities at the City
of Escondido and the City of Santee and found no damage or reported injuries
attributable to BMX bicycle use. In addition, several other cities in the State of
Califomia were contacted with regazds to BMX bicycle usage, and they confirmed that
there were no adverse outcomes of BMX use occurring at their facilities.
The potential damage to the concrete surfaces of the facility has been mitigated by
changes in materials used for the `pegs' which protrude from the BMX bicycles and from
after-mazket covers for pegs. In addition, conflict between skaters and BMX cyclists will
not occur due to segregation of users by time of use or area of use.
The insurance requirement for B&G Club has been modified downwazd to reflect mazket
realities and the absence of any liability claim for injury since the skate park opened.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council Members and has found no
such holdings within 500' of the property which is the subject of this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
No impact to the General Fund.
