<br />2040 Comprehensive Plan 2 <br />August 16, 2017 Parks and Trails Commission Meeting <br />Staff is compiling the results of the Parks Open House that was held on August 8, 2017 along with <br />responses from the online survey. A summary of the responses will be shared at the Parks <br />Commission meeting on August 16, 2017. <br /> <br />Park Development Priorities <br /> <br />The parks plan that is approved as part of the Comprehensive Plan will be the guiding policy <br />document used to determine the cost of proposed improvements in the parks system. The primary <br />tool for acquiring new land and funds for park development is through park dedication. When the <br />City implements the plan, the City will need to determine the best strategies for financing the parks <br />system, through land dedication, park dedication fees, or other strategies. <br /> <br /> <br />3. Discussion: <br /> <br />Staff is looking for feedback from the Parks Commissioners on the draft Parks, Trails and Open <br />Space Chapter on Community Priorities, Guiding Principles, Recreation Demand, and Location <br />Criteria as follows: <br /> <br />1. Staff identified the following community priorities in the draft: 1) Integrated Parks and Trails <br />System; 2) Safe recreation for all users; and 3) All-access facilities. <br /> <br />• Are there additional community priorities you heard that should be represented in this <br />section? <br /> <br />2. The report identifies four areas of recreation demand that were informed by multiple sources, <br />including feedback from the Community. <br /> <br />• Are we capturing the demand from the community? For example, should a dog park or <br />pickle ball court be called out in the document? <br /> <br />3. The Guiding Principles section provide a policy basis for decision making. <br /> <br />• Are these the right principles? Should additional principles be added? <br /> <br />4. More specific Locational Criteria are being proposed in the Chapter update. <br /> <br />• Is the proposed format useful for your decision making? <br /> <br /> <br />4. Next Steps: <br /> <br />Staff will finalize data analysis and streamline the current document into an interactive pdf with the <br />rest of the Comprehensive Plan chapters. <br /> <br />5.
