PREFACE
the needs of the current population, care
must also be taken to make certain that
the needs of the future population are
also met in an effective and efficient
manner.
In addition to meeting
population needs, the City also
recognizes its unique distinction as a
recreation destination for the larger
region and as such must also respond
to the recreation needs of visitors to our
great city. Such a diverse group of
users will require an equally diverse
selection of recreation opportunities
ranging from passive (wildlife viewing,
picnicking), active (organized sports),
and extreme (skydiving, moto-cross).
Through the Master Plan process the
City’s current and future needs are
recognized and addressed.
What is a Parks and Recreation
Master Plan?
At its essence, a Parks and Recreation
Master Plan is simply a clearly defined
guide to the long term development and
programming of public recreational
facilities. These facilities range from
small pocket parks like Linear Park, to
large multi-acre, multi-purpose parks
like that of McVicker Park. In addition to
planned
outdoor
spaces
the
development of other types of
recreational facilities are also guided by
a Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
Examples of these special use facilities
include Lakepoint Senior Center and
Lake Community Center.
The Master Plan process also provides
an opportunity for stake holders to
participate in the decision making
process. Through the use of community
meetings and questionnaires the
citizens of the City are given the
opportunity to offer suggestions and
voice
concerns
regarding
the
development of recreation facilities in
their communities. The City recognizes
the fact that one of the most valuable
resources in any decision making
process are its citizens and place a high
level of value on their insight.
In addition to facilities that have already
been
developed,
a
Parks
and
Recreation Master Plan also guides the
development of future recreational
facilities by ensuring that acquisition,
development,
management,
and
maintenance practices are based on
sound decision making that work in
harmony to enhance the recreation
experience for all stake holders.
Why is this Parks and Recreation
Master Plan important?
The Master Plan process allows the City
to recognize and address current and
future recreation needs while helping to
determine the best uses for specific
sites and to optimize management of
each site’s resources based on
proposed growth projections.
To a larger extent, the value of a Parks
and Recreation Master Plan stems from
the inherent value that open public
space plays in the urban environment.
Historically, public parks and recreation
facilities
have
been
used
by
municipalities as a means of providing
city residents with accessible outdoor
spaces to be used for a variety of
activities. “Dating back to the 19th
century when Frederick Law Olmsted
introduced the first large-scale city parks
to this country, these green spaces
[have] provided relief…and brought
As the City of Lake Elsinore continues to
grow, so does the need for the quantity
and quality of recreation facilities that
respond to the needs of the population
in a manner that ensures the health,
safety, and welfare for all stake holders.
Not only must the City endeavor to meet

people together across social, economic
and racial divides”.1
Today we can look at parks and
recreation as providing a number of
benefits for city residents:
•
Recreation – In addition to
providing areas for exercise and
other types of health promoting
activities, recreation facilities
also serve as meeting places for
the community helping to
strengthen social ties.
•
Community Aesthetics – Well
maintained parks and recreation
centers make bold, positive
statement not only for the City as
a whole but also for the
communities in which they are
located.
•
Transportation Alternatives –
A
well
defined
and
comprehensive trails network
provides an outlet for recreation
activity but it also provides the
opportunity for alternatives to
vehicular transportation modes.
This
concept
has
gained
enormous support within the last
few years as municipalities and
citizens seek ways to minimize
their ecological impact.
•
Wildlife Habitats – Parks and
open space provide much
needed opportunities for viewing
wildlife within the urban fabric.
•
Education – Parks and open
space allow people to make
connections to the natural
environment and the systems
that exist within them. With this
understanding people are able to
better visualize the role that their
actions
have
on
the
environment.
Preface
•
Air Quality – The vegetation
found in parks and natural open
space can help mitigate poor air
quality
through
the
photosynthetic
process
by
removing carbon dioxide and
other pollutants.

SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
The Plan is a balance between the
needs and concerns of the public and
the realities of implementation – the end
result being a fiscally responsible plan
that meets the highest priority needs of
present and future populations. The
Plan has also been designed to be
flexible in order to deal with the forces of
change such as emerging social and
leisure trends, thereby ensuring that an
appropriate level of recreation facilities,
parks, and services are sustained into
the future.
1.1 OVERVIEW
The City of Lake Elsinore Parks and
Recreation Master Plan contains action
plans (recommendations) to help guide
decision-making relating to parks,
recreation, programs, open space, and
facilities within the City for the next
twenty-two (22) years. This plan is a
concise summary of all of the policy
initiatives that should be pursued to
meet the recreation needs of the Lake
Elsinore community.
Since the 1990 Recreation and Parks
Master Plan, the City of Lake Elsinore
has developed a number of new parks
for a total of 125.1 acres. These parks
include Creekside Park, Tuscany Hills,
Alberhill Ranch Sports Park, Lincoln
Park, McVicker Park, and Serenity Park.
In addition, three (3) new community
centers are planned and nine (9)
additional parks may be constructed
within the next twenty-two (22) years for
a total of 254.6 acres
In addition to improving the overall
quality of life for residents and visitors,
parks,
recreation
facilities,
and
programs are also important for the well
being of a city’s business community.
For example, quality of life issues
consistently rank high on the list of
reasons a firm decides to relocate to a
community like Lake Elsinore.
1.2 SETTING
The term recreation can be defined as a
broad and diverse area of human
activity expressed in a variety of
endeavors. It is through both the quality
and quantity of these recreation
opportunities that a city is able to help
establish a positive quality of life
environment for not only present and
future residents but also for visitors.
The overall structure of the Master Plan
is comprised of the following ten (10)
sections and supporting appendices:

Introduction
Summary
Goals and Actions
Recreation Element
Park Service Areas
Demographic Information
Recreation Facilities
The City’s unique and diverse
geography lends itself to a variety of
extreme
recreational
elements.

Elsinore. For example, City Park with its
iconic gazebo and pavilion have been
part of the City’s recreation network for
close to 100 years while present day

site for recreational sports for the last 68
years.
skiing help the City fulfill its slogan of
‘Dream Extreme’.
The City of Lake Elsinore’s geographic
location has helped increase its
popularity as a recreational destination
for the Inland Empire and surrounding
regions, providing ample opportunities
to integrate some of the region's natural
and scenic resources with both off-road
and on-road trail systems.
1.4 NEEDS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
Lake Elsinore itself also provides a
tremendous opportunity for a variety of
water based recreational activities such
as boating, water skiing, and fishing.
An important aspect in the planning,
management, and maintenance of City
parks, recreation, and trail facilities
should include an understanding of the
relationship between recreation and
demographic trends. With the population
of Lake Elsinore expected to exceed
116,470 by the year 2030, the need for
an updated Parks Recreation, Master
Plan has become imperative.
1.3 RECREATION HISTORY
As one might expect from one of the
oldest cities in southwest Riverside
County, the City of Lake Elsinore has
enjoyed a rich and varied recreation
history throughout the years.
Lake
Elsinore has been a popular Southern
California destination for many years
having been used for a variety of water
based recreation activities including
speed boat races which date back to the
1920s.
Another extreme sport,
motorcycle
racing,
has
enjoyed
continued popularity in the City. From
1969 to the present the City of Lake
Elsinore has hosted the Elsinore Grand
Prix which at one time featured a
popular rider by the name of Steve
McQueen (riding under the nom de plum
of Harvey Mushman). More recently,
residents and visitors to the City have
participated in other extreme sports that
present the City from a very different
perspective.
Thanks to particularly
favorable topography and air stream
conditions the skies above the City can
often be seen with hang gliders, sky
divers, and other types of air based
adventure recreation activities.
The
parks system also enjoys a long
tradition of providing quality spaces for
The City presently has 125.1 acres of
park land with an additional 129.5 acres
of new park land committed to the city
through approved specific plans. Most of
these facilities are designated for
outdoor, active recreational uses such
as athletic fields, tennis and basketball
courts, play areas, etc.
However,
recreation facilities such as the Senior
Activity Center and Lake Community
Center are also included in this
aggregate.
The City is also experiencing an
increase in demand for additional
passive
oriented
recreational
opportunities and facilities including,
hiking trails, equestrian paths, and
bicycle paths.
To help ensure that the recreational
needs and interests of the City’s diverse
population are met, the demand for
recreational opportunities needs to be
1-2
recognized and addressed by both
public
agencies
and
private
organizations involved in recreation.
In order to further the City's goals,
objectives, and actions, the City should
consider the preparation and adoption of
the following measures.
1. Immediate implementation of this

Existing Parks and Recreation Master
Plan
Community Participation
Community Workshop:
As the basis for this update the existing
Master Plan was reviewed for content
and information currency.
A Community workshop was held May
7, 2008 which was attended by
residents-at-large. The intent of this
workshop was to obtain feedback and
identify issues pertaining to parks and
recreation within the City. Attendees
where given the opportunity to suggest
items they would like to see addressed
or implemented regarding parks and
recreation. At the completion of the
workshop attendees were asked to rank
the suggestions by placing any number
(up to 4) of marks by the issues they
were most interested in seeing
addressed. Based on this process, the
top three identified (most important)
issues included the following:
Inventory of Existing Park and
The existing City park facilities and
recreation centers were inventoried and
analyzed for condition and potential.
This review served as the baseline to
determine existing facility deficiencies
and needs. There are currently 16 park
facilities totaling 125.1 acres and 4
recreational centers totaling 21,000
square feet.
Underserved Area Analysis
An analysis of existing and proposed
park service radii was undertaken to
determine what areas of the City and its
Sphere of Influence are currently underserved and to determine the location of
future park sites and whether additional
recreation centers were needed. Based
on this process it has been determined
that the following areas of the city are
underserved:
1. Addressing issues regarding
Lake Elsinore Girls Softball.
2. Making sure no trails encroach
upon private lake front property.
3. Ensuring
that
recycled
rubberized play surfaces are
used for all play areas.
Service Area A & B: area bordered by
Lakeshore Drive to the south, Nichols
Rd. to El Toro Rd. to the northwest, and
Chaney St. to the southeast.
The information gathered from this
workshop may be used to guide future
decision making regarding parks,
recreation, and trails.
A complete,
detailed listing of the findings of the
community workshop can be found in
the appendix.

The Parks and Recreation Department
conducted a survey to gauge the level of
interest of various types of recreation
programming. The information gathered
from the survey will provide a baseline
for determining the types of recreation
programming to provide in the future.
The survey was conducted between
January – March 2008 and was
administered via a questionnaire
included in the Winter/Spring Lake
Elsinore Parks & Recreation Brochure.
Over 16,000 copies were printed and
mailed to Lake Elsinore residents. A
copy of the survey instrument with
aggregate results can be found in

City and School Districts Use
Agreements
The partnering of the City and School
Districts in joint use / exclusive use
agreements is an essential element in
providing for existing and future parks
and recreation needs.
Joint-use
facilities and development of facilities is
a tried and proven way of utilizing
School District and City facilities to
provide for the recreational needs of the
community. The following schools are
currently under joint use agreements
with the City:
Smaller facilities which provide program
specific activities and programming for
teens, seniors, and other age specific
facilities should be dictated by
population
demand
and
located
accordingly.
•
Machado Park – school district
property used for park.
•
Summerlake Park – Terra Cotta
Middle Schools soccer fields
used, maintained, and
programmed by city for
community use.
•
Lakeside High School – Joint
use agreement for the use of
aquatic facilities.
•
Lake Elsinore High School –
Joint use agreement for the use
of aquatic facilities.
Recreation Trails
Many sections of the City have been
built-out therefore future focus should be
on adapting the existing street system
and utility corridors for pedestrian and
bicycle travel. Where new development
is occurring through the specific plan
process, the Master Plan recommends
integrating accepted design standards
to insure new streets are pedestrian,
and bicycle friendly, and that logical
connections are made to existing
infrastructure.
Particular attention
should be paid to routes to schools,
parks and other recreation facilities, and
commercial areas. The City should also
examine the creation of a trail system
along Lakeshore Drive.
In addition to the existing joint use
agreements,
the
City
is
also
investigating the following future joint
use agreements:
It is also recommended that the City
commission the creation of an
independent trails master plan as a
complimentary document to the Parks
and Recreation Master Plan.
It is
envisioned that this additional document
would provide details on all existing
trails within the city as well as their

resulting from anticipated
population growth.
Summerlake Park – City and
School District officials are jointly
funding a gymnasium at nearby
Terra Cotta Middle School with
construction scheduled to begin
December 2008.
4. Development of recreational
trails and associated amenities.
Given the large capital investment
needed to implement the recommended
improvements, it is clear that the
proposed plan will need to be phased in
order to spread the costs over a
reasonable period of time.
It is recommended that the City:
•
Continue to pursue joint-use
opportunities with the School
District, especially for use and
maintenance of existing and
future gymnasiums and athletic
fields.
•
Add additional joint use and
exclusive use agreements with
other schools.
•
Expand recreation programs to
various schools throughout the
city by developing a global joint
use agreement where the City
has priority use with minimal
cost.
See Exhibit 2-2 Existing Schools for
location of school sites within the
City.
2.4 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The recommended implementation plan
involves four major categories of park,
recreation, and trail improvements:
1. Expansion of existing parks and
recreation centers.
2. Improvements of existing City
parks/joint use facilities to
address facility deficiencies.
3. Development of new parks in the
City and Sphere of Influence to
accommodate the additional
future demand for park facilities

3.3 EVALUATION AND UPDATE
Section 3: GOALS and ACTIONS
The true value of this exercise will rely
on attempts to evaluate and update this
entire structure to reflect the shifting
values, priorities or needs of the Lake
Elsinore community. This set of credible
goals and actions should be viewed as a
way to relate ends and means to their
practical application. By doing so, the
worth of this plan will become more
relevant to the people of Lake Elsinore.
3.1 INTRODUCTION
3.4 GOALS and ACTIONS
The relative worth of this entire Parks
and Recreation Master Plan cannot be
completely measured against diversity
of recreation programs and number of
park acres developed, nor the quality of
facilities built within those parks.
Another means of comparison is
needed. For example, a connecting set
of goals and action statements, wellgrounded in the pertinent issues and
concerns. This plan attempts to provide
a framework of focus and reference by
which to measure the quality of
progress. The set of goals and actions
presented herein reflects the desired
timing, scale, economic realities, and
changing complexion for the public
provision of park and recreational
resources in Lake Elsinore.

SECTION 4: RECREATION
ELEMENT
Currently,
various
community
organizations sponsor a wide range of
sports programs including soccer, youth
and adult softball, little league, youth
football and cheerleading, aquatics and,
tennis
within
the
City.
These
organizations coordinate with the City's
Parks and Recreation Department for
use of City parks and recreation facilities
and area school sites. In addition, other
recreational programs are managed by
the City including aerobics, basketball,
gymnastics, and volleyball programs.
Substantial annual growth of these
programs indicates increased citizen
participation rates in both adult and
youth sports activities.
4.1 INTRODUCTION
A major part of the richness and
diversity of the Lake Elsinore area is
due to the variety of its recreational
opportunities. Of course, a portion of
these opportunities are provided by
commercial and non-profit enterprises;
however, over the years there has been
an increasing awareness of the need for
more public recreation facilities. These
recreational facilities are one of the
major criteria used to evaluate cities in
terms of “quality of life” and their
attractiveness for establishing business,
industry, and especially residency.
The City of Lake Elsinore provides the
following types of recreational facilities
for its residents and visitors:
1. Pocket Parks – Parks of this
nature are typically less than one
(1) acre in size and developed in
conjunction with specific plans.
Linear Park is an example of a
pocket park.
A variety of recreational amenities
currently exist in close proximity to the
City of Lake Elsinore including the lake
itself, the adjacent Cleveland National
Forest, local and regional parks, athletic
fields, and access to school facilities.
The recreation element includes policy
and implementation measures which
seek to increase the level of recreation
opportunities for its citizenry as the City
and region continue to grow.
2. Neighborhood Parks (1 – 10
acres) – These facilities are
typically population based to serve
the immediate and surrounding
residents which is usually 3,500 –
5,000 persons within a one-half
(1/2) to three quarter (3/4) mile
radius. Neighborhood parks may
adjoin school sites where possible
to encourage joint-use. Typical
amenities usually found in a
neighborhood park include play
areas, turf, multi-purpose courts,
and picnic facilities. Tuscany
Hills Park and Yarborough Park
The Parks and Recreation Element is
intended to identify park and other
recreational resources that exist within
the City and to suggest ways in which
these resources can be preserved or
enhanced. This element is to be used as
4 -1
Community Center, the Senior
Activity Center, and the Cultural
Center.
are examples of neighborhood
parks.
3. Community Parks (11 – 40
acres) – These parks are
designed to serve 15,000 –
20,000 residents within a one
and one-half mile (1 ½) service
radius as well as visitors to the
area and are utilized for active
and passive recreation.
The
actual size and development
usually depends on the specific
resource involved, available
land, anticipated use, and
location.
Typical
amenities
include lighted sports fields and
courts, picnic facilities, play
areas, restrooms, and off-street
parking. McVicker Canyon Park
and
Lakepoint
Park
are
examples of community parks.
4.2 RECREATION AND PARK
STANDARDS
Under existing conditions, the City of
Lake Elsinore's community park land to
population ratio is approximately 5.3
acres per 1,000 population, based on a
2007 population estimate of 47,634.
This, however, reflects both the existing
and committed recreation facilities. The
City's ratio of developed park facilities is
approximately 2.6 acres per 1,000
population requiring an additional 114
acres of developed park facilities to
serve the existing City population. A
number of large specific plan areas
have been approved in and around the
City which will provide additional park
facilities for residents. Over 129
additional park land acres are currently
committed to the City through approved
Specific Plans.
4. Regional Parks (25 – 100 acres)
– Regional parks offer a broad
range of amenities to attract the
greatest range of users from
within and beyond the City limits.
Amenities can include open
space,
bodies
of
water,
structures (such as museums
and nature centers), and trails.
Their typical service radius
typically corresponds to a one
(1) hour drive.
In most cases, intensive recreation uses
require gently sloping land, vehicular
access, well drained soils, and access
to water. Fragile ecological zones are
generally not suitable for recreation;
however, unique natural features, if
protected, can be a prime factor in park
location.
Local park standards provide for
community, neighborhood, and special
use parks while the county and state
provide the regional standards.
5. Recreational Facilities – The City
also provides recreational facilities
that can service either local
residents or visitors.
These
facilities range from passive
landscaped areas, hang-gliding,
hiking trails, and community
centers.
These facilities also
feature special programs, activities,
and classes that help make up the
City of Lake Elsinore's public
recreation system. Examples of
recreation facilities include Lake
A functional balance of recreational
opportunities cannot be attained by
simply applying a numerical standard to
facilities. Standards are critical, but they
are to be used with discretion. They are
intended as a guide in evaluating the
level of service for an area and the City
as a whole. Their application must be

meet minimum standards of quality and
space to effectively perform its intended
function.
related to the economic feasibility and
the nature of the area.
It is also important to allow for flexibility
as
areas
change.
Acreage,
development, and maintenance of
facilities, accessibility, and supervision
should all be considered when
attempting to provide the same levels of
service to areas within the City.
Table 4.1 illustrates the current park
standards for the City of Lake Elsinore.
Table 4.2 illustrates the projected park
standards and requirements needed at
a population build out of 116,472 (year
2030).

5.1 SERVICE AREA METHODOLOGY
By dividing the City of Lake Elsinore into
three (3) districts, with each district
representing a proportionate share of
both area and projected population, a
more
accurate
understanding
of
demographic data was possible.
The three service areas were plotted to
follow natural boundaries such as the
lake, city limits, sphere of influence
limits, and major circulation streets
where possible.

7.4 TRAILS AND BIKEWAYS
Trail Vision
The City of Lake Elsinore envisions a trail system that will be an effective, multi-modal
transportation system connecting people with destination points. The trail system has
been deemed a critical element of the Lake Elsinore community. However, it can be
more than a transportation element, also serving as a mode of connecting
neighborhoods together and providing additional recreation capabilities within the
community. Trails, therefore, can be envisioned as being good for our community, our
health, our economy, and our environment.
Goals:
•
The trail system should connect destinations with the user’s origin and may also
be used to connect various destinations. A connection between parks is one
example.
•
Connect Lake Elsinore trail system to other systems in Corona, Murrieta, and
Riverside County to create a region trail system
•
Planning of trails system shall be coordinated with neighboring cities and the
County of Riverside.
•
Develop trails network with necessary infrastructure and maintenance including
equestrian boarding centers.
•
Encourage pedestrian and biking path around the lake edge.
•
Encourage the use of paseos, green belts, linear parks, and trails within future
developments.
It is recommended that the City commission the creation of an independent trails master
plan as a complimentary document to the Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The
purpose of which would be to cover in great detail the trail elements of the City.
7-25
Pedestrian Trails
Type A Pedestrian Trail (Sidewalk Trail): Type A pedestrian trails are paved trails that
typically follow established access routes throughout the city. Trail width is usually 5’-0”
but may vary on occasion. Paving materials are primarily asphalt or concrete.
Illustration 7-1: Type A Pedestrian
7-26
Type B Pedestrian Trail (Greenbelt Path): Soft surface trail that is used primarily for
pedestrian circulation while providing limited bicycle access and no vehicular access.
Type B pedestrian trails can be found in parks, and greenways. Paving material for
Type B pedestrian trails consist of crushed rock or decomposed granite.
Illustration 7-2: Type B Pedestrian Trail
7-27
Type C Pedestrian Trail (Open Space Trail): Type C trails are primarily pedestrian
oriented trails found in areas that are predominantly open and undeveloped. The width
of these trails varies depending on terrain conditions. Surfacing should be appropriate to
the location with priority given to permeable materials such as natural soil, decomposed
granite, or road base.
Illustration 7-3: Type C Pedestrian Trail
7-28
Bikeway Types
The State of California categorizes bicycles into three classifications according to the
degree of exclusiveness with which the paths are preserved for bicycle use. The
designation of bikeways as Class I, II, or III should not be construed as a hierarchy of
bikeways. Each class of bikeway has its appropriate application.
Class I Bikeway (Bike Path): Class I bikeways are off-road paved trails to be used by
bicyclists and pedestrians. These types of trails provide a paved path that is separate
from motor vehicle travel. Class I bikeways are for the exclusive use of bicycles and
pedestrians, and are designed to minimize interruptions of the trail by motor vehicle
crossings. Minimum width for two bikes is 8’-0’, 5’-0” for one bike, and 4’ for
pedestrians.
Illustration 7-4: Class I Bikeway
7-29
Class II Bikeway (Bike Lane): Class II bikeways are intended to delineate the right-ofway assigned to bicyclists and motorists, and to provide for more predictable movements
of each. Dedicated bike lanes better accommodate bicyclists through corridors where
insufficient room exists for safe bicycling.
Illustration 7-5: Class II Shared Biking and Parking Lane
7-30
Illustration 7-6: dedicated biking and parking lane
7-31
Class III Bikeway (Bike Route): Class III bikeways are shared facilities and are indicated
only with bike route signs. These trails share the streets with motor vehicles or share
the sidewalk with pedestrians (bicycle use is the secondary function in both conditions).
There is no minimum width for Class III bikeways as width is dependent upon many
factors including volume and character of vehicular traffic on roads, typical speeds,
vertical and horizontal alignment, sight distance and parking conditions.
Illustration 7-7: Class III Bikeway
7-32
Equestrian Trails
When space allows care should be taken to provide dedicated equestrian trails that are
separate from pedestrian and bike trails. However, if uses are to be combined on the
same trail, care must be taken to ensure that each user’s right of way is not encroached
upon.
Equestrian trails should observe the following general guidelines:
•
Provide a track width of 2’-4” for one way / single track travel or 5’-6” for two way
/ double track travel.
•
In addition to track width an additional 8’ clearing should be observed for one
way / single track travel. For two way / double track trails a 12’ clearing should
be observed.
•
Overhead clearing should be between 8’ – 12’.
•
Avoid asphalt or concrete surfaces, which can cause damage to horse hooves.
Natural dirt, wood chips, or crushed gravel should be used.
•
Where applicable provide a cross slope on trails to encourage positive drainage.
•
Water crossings should be kept to a minimum. Natural crossings and culverts
are preferred over foot bridge bridges.

has
been
successful in using this method
with the Lake Elsinore Unified
School District. The Joint Powers
has provided a more balanced
distribution of parks by locating
sites adjacent to schools in
addition to fostering savings in the
actual costs for development.
SECTION 9: ACQUISITION AND
FINANCING
•
Non - Profit Foundation – NonProfit Foundation can be formed
to accept contributions and
donations to be used for the
purchase
of
equipment,
acquisition of property, and the
development of facilities. NonProfit Foundations, because of
their tax exempt status, are often
the beneficiary of donations, gifts,
and bequests which, in turn, can
be used to benefit the Parks and
Recreation Department.
•
Developer Fees – The City,
through the specific plan process,
can often negotiate a fee with a
developer for the development of
facilities and services their
development will impact. These
fees are often used for Park and
Recreation facility development
as well as utilities, traffic signals,
and other infrastructure.
•
Grants – There are private, State,
and Federal grants available for a
variety of Parks and Recreation
programs and services. The City
currently receives funds from
several sources: Pepsi Cola
Company,
Community
Development
Block
Grants,
Senior Bond Act, State Park
Bond,
Special
State
Fund
Tobacco Tax and Land Water
Conservation Fund.
9.1 ACQUISITION AND FINANCING
STRATEGIES
Implementation of the Parks and
Recreation Master Plan is contingent
upon a variety of methods of funding.
There are sources available for
acquisition, development, maintenance,
and programming. Additionally, there are
those that are limited to only the capital
improvement aspects of the plan.
The following resources are those most
commonly used funding methods:
•
•
Park In-Lieu Fee (Quimby Act) –
Park In-Lieu Fee is an ordinance
the City has adopted which
requires a developer to dedicate
land, pay an in-lieu fee, or a
combination
of
both.
This
ordinance
uses
a
formula
(acquisition and development
costs based on acres of parks per
1,000 people) to determine the
per unit cost. Fees are collected
at issuance of building permits.
Joint Powers Agreement – This
method
of
funding
usually
pertains to the entities jointly
exercising powers to establish
parks on multiple parcels with
separate ownership. The City of
9-1

•
service areas for a specific
service or facility. This method
sells bonds to obtain the
necessary funds and uses the
ongoing assessment as the
revenue stream to pay off the
debt.
User Fees – User Fees are an
accepted method of recovering
the cost for specific services or
programs. The City has adopted a
standard schedule of fees which
includes recreation programs,
fees, rental charges, utility fees,
and administrative charges.
Concessions – The City has
developed
a
concession
arrangement which provides for
the maintenance and operation of
several city parks in exchange for
being able to provide the food
services at the site. This
arrangement can be expanded to
other services (i.e., equipment
rentals, launching, etc.) in other
facilities to provide additional
services with a reduced cost to
the agency.
Assessment District (1972 ACT) –
The City has established a
Lighting, Landscape Maintenance
District that assesses each parcel
within the City for the ongoing
operation and maintenance of
Parks and Recreation facilities.
This funding is used to offset the
direct drain of the existing
property tax and provide service
to the user based on area served.
•
Revenue Bonds – These can be
used to develop a facility or
acquire property when a revenue
stream can be shown in sufficient
amounts to retire the debt.
•
Lease – The city can set the
lease to provide property for
parks, open space, or other
recreational purposes with an
option to buy. This method can
allow the City to immediately
obtain
the
property
while
accumulating necessary funds to
purchase the site, etc.
•
Tax Allocation Bonds – This
method
would
allow
the
Redevelopment Agency to sell
bonds for the development of
parks or recreation facilities within
an area being revitalized, and use
the increased tax increment to
repay the debt.
Mello Roos – This is another form
of assessment district that can be
used to develop Parks and
Recreation facilities by assessing
