DIVISION REPORTS
Development Services Administrator McCarthy provided a brief overview of the various
proiects in process, as follows:
· Work is continuing on the Children's Museum, however, a change order for repair
of the building will delay the opening.
Work is progressing with Lennar on the Harveston Development which includes
an 8.4-acre lake, surrounded by a 6.9-acre lake park, and a 19.5-acre community
park. Staff will bring a receive and file report to the Commission in January.
In response to Commissioner Hogan's inquiry, Development Services Administrator
McCarthy indicated that the opening of the Children's Museum would probably be
delayed until April, but staff would know more when the change order is completed.
At Chairman Henz's request, Development Services Administrator McCarthy provided
the audience with a brief overview of the progress and proposed exhibits at the
Children's Museum.
Recreation Superintendent Pelletier provided an update on the recreational activities in
the City, noting the following:
Holiday Lights and Festive Sights is currently being held throughout the City.
The judging was held last Monday, and she thanked the Commission for their
assistance. The winners of the event will be recognized on December 17, at
6:30 p.m., in the Council Chambers via the local cable channel.
The annual Tree Lighting Ceremony was held on December 5 at the Duck Pond.
The event was attended by over 200 spectators which included a beautiful lit
tree, live music, good food, hot chocolate and, of course, Santa Claus. A special
thanks goes to Administrative Secretary Zigler who coordinated the entire event.
The Annual Winter Wonderland Event was held on Saturday, December 7, at the
Community Recreation Center. There were over 400 Breakfasts with Santa
served, 24 ads and crafts venders, and 18 tons of snow to be enjoyed by all.
· Holiday Lights and Festive Sights Bus Tours will be conducted on December 15
and 18.
· The Electric Light Parade will be held on Friday, December 13.
· The next Leisure Activities brochure will be out the last week in December.
R: CSC/minutes/120902 ?
Commissioner Yorke commended Administrative Secretary Zigler for inviting the
fantastic trio of musicians from the Sun Ridge Community Church who performed at the
Tree Lighting Ceremony.
Chairman Henz commended and congratulated the entire staff for all the holiday
activities and their dedication and hard work which make the season so enjoyable for the
whole community.
Deputy Director of Community Services Ruse provided a brief overview of the Library
Grant Process, as follows:
On December 2, Mayor Ron Roberts, Management Analyst Adams, and Deputy
Director of Community Services Ruse traveled to Sacramento where the Library
Board met to distribute the first series of funding in the bond act for libraries.
· The first cycle included $150 million available to cities that applied by the June 15
deadline.
· The Board staff ranked those applications into three categories: outstanding,
very good and adequate. The City of Temecula was ranked as very good.
At the end of the day-long meeting, the Board agreed to fund all but one of the
outstanding applications which totaled a little over $130 million, leaving
approximately $19.68 million still on the table.
The Board decided to go back and re-evaluate all of the very good applications
and come back on December 19 to fund as many of those projects as possible;
or roll that money over to the third funding cycle according to the language of the
bond act regulations at this time; or they could change the regulations to fund
and set the cycle.
The Friends of the Temecula Library have started a writing campaign in response
to the Library Board's indication that they do acknowledge letters from residents
in applicant cities. For a list of the names and addresses of the six Board
Members, contact Grace Mellman, President of the Friends of the Temecula
Library, the library county branch on County Center Drive, or Temecula City Hall.
Time is of the essence as the Board will be making a decision on December 19.
In response to Commissioner Meyler's request, a list of the names and addresses of the
Library Board members was made available to all those in attendance.
Director of Community Services Parker pointed out that there was still $19 million
available, and the City of Temecula needs $8.5 million to fund the new library which is
desperately needed and well deserved.
Responding to Commissioner Hogan's inquiry, Deputy Director of Community Services
Ruse apprised the Board that e-mail addresses were included on the list of names and
addresses of the Library Board.
R: CSC/minutes/120902 ~
Regarding Commissioner Hogan's suggestion that a petition be started, Deputy Director
of Community Services Ruse indicated that it was preferable that individual letters be
sent in order to make a greater impact with the Board; however, whatever response
could be obtained from citizens would be wonderful. Deputy Director of Community
Services Ruse also encouraged children to write.
In light of the busy holiday season and as a means of encouraging citizens to write,
Commissioner Henz suggested that a form letter be written and placed on the City's
website so that citizens could e-mail the Board directly.
As this is a joint project between the City and the School District, Vice Chairman
Edwards encouraged all present to attend the School Board Meeting tomorrow night.

COMMISSION BUSINESS
2. Wolf Creek 43-Acre Sports Complex
RECOMMENDATION:
2,1
That the Community Services Commission approve in its substantial
form the Master Plan for the 43-acre Sports Complex in the Wolf
Creek Development.
Development Services Administrator McCarthy presented the staff report to the
Commission, which was then followed up by a PowerPoint presentation conducted by
Mr. Mueting of the RJM Design Group.
Mr. Mueting's presentation highlighted the following:
That a design charette workshop took place in April 2001 involving over 40
individuals from the community. The charette's purpose was to develop a master
plan for the site.
· That the issues discussed included:
o Likes - Accessibility of the site, its size and shape, and the fact that it is flat
topographically.
o Dislikes - traffic, access, and the adjacent facility.
R: CSC/minutes/120902 (~
o Potential facilities - the top facilities were to have dedicated fields in the
stadium facility, a recreation center, shaded play areas and trails.
o The development constraints of the site.
o Having a balance or variety of use for the site.
For the benefit of the Commission, Mr. Mueting reviewed the proposed Master Plan in
detail.
In response to Commissioner Hogan's inquiry regarding the purpose of "dedicated
championship" fields, Mr. Mueting explained that solar orientation is very important to
most sports and typically the championship fields are oriented toward the
northeast/northwest. He further added that each field would have similar amenities and
all would be big-league quality, the best public fields around.
Replying to Commissioner Yorke's query about the sun cover over the stands that had
been discussed, Director of Community Services Parker replied that due to budget
constraints this item had been removed from the plan. However, shade improvements
were created in the pavilion area providing a nice view out onto the soccer fields.
Regarding discussions of the incorporation of a pool, Director of Community Services
Parker indicated to Commissioner Yorke that the City is currently in discussions with the
School District regarding placing a 50-meter swimming pool on their site. Commisioner
Meyler stated that this would be a perfect joint-use project.
For Commissioner Hogan, it was relayed that development of the recreation center
would begin in Phase Two.
Replying to Commisioner Yorke's query regarding viewing stands for the aquatics,
Director of Community Services Director Parker indicated that this item would be
discussed during the design process.
In response to Chairman Henz's queries, Director of Community Services Parker
indicated that all the courts would be lighted; and that football is currently being played at
Temecula Middle School thus the need for only one field.
Replying to Chairman Henz's inquiry about the lifetime of the artificial turf, Director of
Community Services Parker replied that the lifetime of the turf would be between 12 to
14 years. Further, some of the money saved in maintenance would be applied toward
funding the facilities.
Commissioner Hogan asked if it would make economic sense to use artificial turf on the
baseball fields as well. In response, Director of Community Services Parker stated that
baseball fields don't require the extensive maintenance that soccer fields do; and,
therefore, the economic benefits would not be as great as those realized on the soccer
fields.
For Chairman Henz, Director of Community Services Parker indicated that the Sports
Park would contain 73 developed acres.
R: CSC/minutes/120902 7
MOTION: Commissioner Hogan moved to approve staff's recommendation. The motion
was seconded by Commissioner Meyler and voice vote reflected unanimous approval
with the exception of Commissioner Edwards who was absent.
3. YMCA Ground Lease Aqreement
RECOMMENDATION:
3,1
That the Community Services Commission approve in its substantial
form the Ground Lease Agreement between the City of Temecula
and the YMCA of Riverside City and County, Inc.
Director of Community Services Parker presented the staff report to the Commission.
Commissioner Yorke expressed her concerns regarding the very heavy traffic in the area
and the safety of the area elementary school-age children traversing the streets.
Further, Commissioner Yorke requested that a traffic study be done from the corner of
Margarita Middle School up to Moraga and the location of the proposed facility to ensure
that such a project was feasible in the area. In response to the Commissioner's
concerns, Director of Community Services Parker indicated:
· That he would address her concerns with the City's traffic engineer.
· That when such a project is proposed, it is usually customary to have traffic
audits prepared that include such impacts.
· That the project has been in the CIP for some time and that a traffic study was
mostly likely included in the General Plan.
· That he would check to make sure that it had been included in the General Plan.
Referring to the adjacent apartments, Commissioner Hogan felt that the location of the
facility would greatly benefit the children in the area without their need to cross any
major streets.
Commisioner Yorke informed the Commission that there is currently a controversy
regarding the children using the walkway and the gate in crossing to get to schooL, and
that there is a movement toward closing the gate. Commissioner Yorke inquired if
anyone had addressed the School District regarding this issue. Director of Community
Services Parker indicated that the City had not been approached regarding this issue.
Regarding Chairman Henz's inquiry about parking spaces at the park, Director of
Community Services Parker indicated:
· That the elementary school would be permitted to use 80 of the existing parking
spaces.
· That this use would not impact the use of the park because the school's needs
were earlier in the day vs. the evening when the fields would be in use.
R: CSC/minutes/120902 ~
At this point, Jim Morgan, Executive Director, YMCA made a brief presentation to the
Commission stating that the project would be a real asset to the community. In
response to questions from the Commission, Mr. Morgan indicated:
· That regarding programs, typically, the focus is children; therefore, with the
community's input, a facility will be built to meet those needs.
That regarding the gender orientation of the YMCA, Mr. Morgan indicated that
the organization which was founded in 1884 was all male, that the name had
been preserved because of the organization's heritage, that women have been
involved since WWI and have played an integral part in the organization, and that
currently the YMCA's membership is 55% women.
· Regarding the proposed size of the facility, when the meets and bounds are
analyzed, a final determination of the size of the facility will be made.
· That regarding outside activities, there are many opportunities available but until
the Agreement is approved, Mr. Morgan believed planning to be premature.
That regarding a joint use agreement between the City, the YMCA, and the
School District, Director of Community Services Parker indicated that there had
been brief discussions; but the only issue before Commission this evening was
the Ground Lease Agreement.
· That topography is the challenge of the site and will determine the size of the
facility.
· That this was the original site of the Community Center.
· That the YMCA anticipates no problems in meeting the milestones in the
agreement.
Paul Peele, Chairman of the Board, YMCA, made a brief presentation to the
Commission regarding the history of the organization in the area. Mr. Peele stated that
the Agreement was an exciting and wonderful opportunity for the organization as well as
the community and thanked the Commission for all their support.
MOTION: Commissioner Meyler moved that the Commission approve the staff's
recommendation. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hogan, and voice vote
reflected unanimous approval with the exception of Commissioner Edwards, who
opposed and Commissioner Edwards who was absent.
4. Crowne Hill Park Joint Use Aqreement
RECOMMENDATION:
4.1 That the Commission approve the Crowne Hill Park Joint Use
Agreement between the City of Temecula (TCSD) and the Temecula
Valley Unified School District (TVUSD).
R: CSC/minutes/120902 6)
Deputy Director of Community Services Ruse presented the staff report to the
Commission.
In response to Commissioner Hogan's query regarding the area in front of the turf
(referring to Exhibit A of the staff report), Deputy Director of Community Services Ruse
related that there are generally two areas designated for tots which are divided into age
groups, i.e., one area for two to five-year olds, and the larger area for older children ages
six to twelve, with equipment that is age appropriate. Director of Community Services
Parker further relayed to the Commission that these areas would be open to the public at
all times.
For Chairman Hertz, Deputy Director Ruse confirmed the fact that the Agreement would
be void if the School District was unable to obtain the adjacent property on which to build
the school.
MOTION: Commissioner Yorke moved that the Commission approve the agreement as
presented by staff. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Meyler and voice vote
reflected unanimous approval, with the exception of Commissioner Edwards who was
absent.

SUBJECT:
Harveston Community Park Master Plan
PREPARED BY:
Cathy McCarthy, Development Services Administrator
RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission receive and file a report on
the Harveston Community Park Master Plan design.
BACKGROUND: Harveston is a large Specific Plan development in the northern part of
the City east of Interstate 15. As part of this project, the developer is conditioned to construct and
dedicate a community park to the City of Temecula. Staff has worked closely with Lennar and RHA
Landscape Amhitects over the last several weeks to design a master plan that meets the needs of
our growing community and is consistent with the City's Parks and Recreation Master Plan and the
Harveston Specific Plan.
Attached is a conceptual master plan for this 19.5 acre site. The park will include 2 dedicated full
size lighted soccer fields (225' by 365'); 1 lighted ball field with 90' bases and a 320' outfield; 1
lighted ball field with 60' bases and a 310' outfield; age appropriate play areas; a group picnic area
with two shelters; community building; restroom/concession/maintenance building; parking with
approximately 299 spaces; benches; tables; drinking fountains and walkways.
This park will be fully improved by the developer and conveyed to the City prior to the first building
permit in Phase 2 of the project.

Naming Policy for Parks and Recreation Facilities
RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission approve the
recommendation of the Commission sub-committee to maintain the naming policy for
parks and recreation facilities as currently written.
BACKGROUND: On April 23, 1991 the Board of Directors adopted a policy
for naming parks and recreation facilities. This policy was developed to establish a
uniform policy and procedure that identifies criteria for the naming of public parks and
recreation facilities.
At the July 23, 2002 Board of Director's meeting, the Board requested that staff work
with the Community Services Commission to review the existing naming policy and
recommend appropriate changes or modifications. The Community Services
Commission appointed Commissioners Tom Edwards and Jim Meyler to serve as a sub-
committee and meet with staff to discuss and review the existing park naming policy.
On November 18, 2002 the sub-committee and staff met to review our existing policy
and how it has been utilized in the past years. The committee also reviewed and
discussed the naming policy from other cities including the City of Corona, the City of
Moorpark and the City of Rancho Cucamonga. After review of the policy and
information, the sub-committee felt that our current naming policy is adequate and
appropriate. It enables the City to name sites based on geographical location, historical
significance or geological features. It also suggests that parks can be named for
persons who have made a significant contribution towards the acquisition or
development of parks or facilities and that have been an outstanding long-term
community leader who has suppor[ed recreation and open space. In reviewing names
of our current park sites it appeared to the sub-committee that the policy has been
implemented appropriately and accurately. Sam Hicks Monument Park, Rotary Park,
The Thomas H. Langley Amphitheater, Pala Community Park, Vail Ranch Park, Pablo
Apis Park, Paloma Del Sol Park and Long Canyon Creek Park are all named based on
information received from the community for their geographical location, historical
significance, geological feature or community contribution to parks.
The sub-committee did suggest that the Community Services Department conduct a
community campaign to gather a new list of proposed names for future park sites. They
also suggested that future park names that are recommended to the Board of Directors
be submitted along with a brief statement to explain how the Commission selected the
name.

Naming Parks and Recreation Facilities
PUP POSE
To establish a uniform policy and procedure that identifies
criteria for the naming of parks and recreation facilities.
POLICY
The Park and Recreation Commission will be responsible for the
selection of names for parks and recreation facilities. Once a
name is selected, it will be forwarded to the Board of Directors
for ratification. Staff will be responsible for encouraging
citizens and community organizations to suggest possible names that
will then be forwarded to the Commission for consideration.
At a minimum, each park and community building will be designated
a name. Naming of specific areas within a park (garden, swimming
pool, lake, ballfield, etc.) is acceptable but should be kept to a
minimum to avoid confusion. No park shall be given a name which
might be perceived as controversial by the community. All names
selected shall be acceptable and meaningful to a majority of the
neighborhood/community where the park or recreation facility is
located.
Priority in naming sites shall be given to geographical locations,
historic significance or geologic features. No park shall.be named
for a person, except where an individual has made a significant
financial contribution toward the acquisition and/or development of
the park or facility, or has been an outstanding long-time
community leader who has supported open space and recreational
activities.
All park and recreation facilities will be designated a focal name
within six months of acquisition or construction. All parks shall
have an entrance sign. Buildings will have an entrance sign and a
plaque inside the facility for name identification.
The name of a park or recreation facility may be changed only after
a hearing is held by the Commission to receive community input and
direction. No name shall be changed unless there is significant
justification and support by the com]~unity.
