PREPARED BY: Matt Peters, Principal Planner and Brandon Rabidou, Principal Management Analyst RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council provide feedback and priorities for potential uses of City -owned vacant lands in order to fulfill objectives as outlined in the Quality of Life Master Plan (QLMP). BACKGROUND: The City is in the process of updating the Quality of Life Master Plan (QLMP), the City's guiding document for strategic priorities, budgeting, and the foundation for a upcoming comprehensive General Plan update. Community engagement and feedback has been the cornerstone of the QLMP update. Thus far, outreach has included a Blue Ribbon Committee, a community wide survey, pop-up events, and other focus groups. As the QLMP update nears completion, staff is looking for the City Council to provide feedback and priorities for potential uses of City owned vacant lands to fulfill QLMP objectives. To help the City Council provide feedback and develop priorities, staff will be providing a multi- part presentation on different relevant topics. These topics include the Surplus Land Act, Quality of Life Master Plan (QLMP) overview, and site background information. After the above presentations, the City's consultant, MIG, will facilitate a City Council discussion to provide staff with site feedback and priorities. No final action or decision shall be made regarding the disposition of any parcels at this meeting FISCAL IMPACT: None. Future appropriations, sales, or other agreements must come before the City Council. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Site Background Handout 2. Draft QLMP Timeline 3.

This Master Plan encompasses many recommendations, concepts and strategies developed with the assistance of RJM Design Group, residents, staff, key stakeholders, elected officials, and our Community Services Commission. Consultants and City staff conducted various community outreach events including stakeholder interviews, focus groups, workshops, a multi -modal survey, and completed an extensive assessment and analysis of TCSD programs, services, staffing, funding, and community demographics to ensure the community's voice was centered as recommendations were developed.

City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan COVID-19 ADDENDUM BACKGROUND The City of Temecula's original Parks and Recreation Master Plan was completed in 1993, with the purpose of "providing guidance to the City for the organized and structured development of the City's parks, recreation, trails, open space facilities and programs," and projected to the year 2013. In April 2019, The City of Temecula awarded the contract to complete a Community Services Master Plan to RJM Design Group not only to revisit the scope of the original Parks and Recreation Master Plan, but also to address all areas currently under the Community Services umbrella. Over the next year, RJM Design group conducted a community needs assessment (inventory, assessment, and analysis of programs, services, and needs specific to the City of Temecula) and community engagement activities (stakeholder and staff interviews, focus groups, community workshops, a statistically valid multi -modal community survey, and a sports organization survey) to develop recommendations to meet the current and future needs of the community. In February 2020, RJM Design group submitted the Community Services Master Plan Draft for staff review. UPDATE As the City reviewed this draft document, a global health emergency developed. It is important to note the following local, national, and global events that transpired soon after the completion of this draft document. • The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) declared the global outbreak of COVID-19 a public health emergency on January 31, 2020 • March 11, 2020, WHO Director -General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared the global COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic • On March 13, 2020 the White House issued the following proclamation declaring a National Emergency concerning COVID-19 "NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 201 and 301 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) and consistent with section 1 135 of the Social Security Act (SSA), as amended (42 U.S.C. 1320b-5), do hereby find and proclaim that the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States constitutes a national emergency, beginning March 1, 2020". -Proclamation on Declaring a National Emergency Concerning the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Outbreak, Issued on: March 13, 2020 • March 17, 2020 the City of Temecula Signed a Proclamation of Local Emergency • March 19, 2020 The State of California issued an Executive Order that required Californians to stay at home except as needed to maintain the continuity of operations of sectors designated essential ADDENDUM The global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is estimated to reach between $2 and $4 trillion based on a 3- to 6-month scenario wherein the pandemic is contained, according to the Asian Development Bank. Estimations show the impact on the global economy could be greater if the pandemic is not contained by the end of September. While it is impossible to estimate the eventual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is clear that it will have far-reaching economic impacts to the City, its revenue and budget priorities, and its ability to implement the recommendations on the timeline presented in this document. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan COVID-19 ADDENDUM The extent of the eventual economic impact and its influence on the implementation of this Master Plan is impossible to quantify at the time of this publication but Temecula's Community Services Department continues its mission to create community through people, parks, and programs. City leadership will continue to re-evaluate the potential implementation of recommendations included in this document as the impacts of COVID-19 upon the community continue to evolve. CONCLUSION The coronavirus 2019 pandemic (COVID-19) has extracted a high human cost across our nation. In response, local, state, and federal governments have had to redirect their financial resources in their battle against the virus. At the same time, tax revenues have plummeted. At this critical time for recovery it is important to emphasize that Community Services Departments have a unique and positive impact on the lives of people every day. Striking dollars from park and recreation budgets can deprive people of open space to exercise for no or little cost, a place for stressed out individuals to reconnect with nature, and an important community resource where one can get a nutritious meal. A study commissioned by NRPA (nrpa.org/LocalOfficials) in 2017 found local elected and appointed public officials whole-heartedly agree that parks and recreation significantly benefit their communities, especially in enhancing quality of life and promoting healthy lifestyles. In addition, the economic benefits Community Services brings to the community helps spark economic activity and create jobs. The latest NRPA research report, NRPA Economic Impact of Parks report (nrpa. org/ParkEcon Report), published in April, highlights how Park and Recreation/Community Services Departments are an engine of business activity locally, statewide, and across our nation. The new study found that local park and recreation agencies generated more than $166 billion in U.S. economic activity and supported 1.1 million jobs from their operations and capital spending in 2017. California's local park and recreation agencies' operations and capital spending generated more than $16 billion of economic activity and supported nearly 110,000 jobs. California enjoys the most significant economic benefit from local parks and recreation in the United States. Beyond the impact of local park and recreation agency spending, other critical economic impact contributions from public parks include conservation and environmental resiliency, health and wellness, property values and visitor spending. Cutting park and recreation funding at this critical time may provide a short-term respite for local government budget shortfall. However, the impact of these cuts' could ripple beyond the initial savings, cutting jobs and reducing business activity that may spark a vicious cycle leading to further budget cuts and reduced services. When combined with the ability to deliver healthier and happier communities, parks and recreation's powerful economic impact highlights the fact that the Community Services Department offerings are not merely a "nice -to -have" amenity. Instead, parks and recreation transforms our cities, towns, and counties into vibrant and prosperous communities for all. Temecula has an outstanding Community Services Department with extensive and excellent programs and services. Due in great part to experienced and talented staff members going the extra mile. At this critical time of community recovery from COVID-19, Community Services challenges will be greater than ever. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Community Services Master Plan (CSMP) included a community needs assessment and community engagement activities to develop recommendations to meet the current and future needs of the community. The City of Temecula relies on the Community Services Master Plan to guide decisions with respect to land use, development, programming and facility needs as they relate to parks, recreation, and community services. Since the development of the original Master Plan in 1993, Temecula has witnessed significant growth and development that has created new demands for community facilities and programs. The City has done an admirable job of expanding their Vision for Community Services, programs, and facilities without the benefit of an interim Master Plan Update since 1993. It is now time to revise the Master Plan to ensure that it reflects the current and anticipated community needs. The 2020 Community Services Master Plan is organized into five (5)sections: Introduction Located in southwest Riverside County and currently home to an estimated 1 12,628 residents', the City of Temecula offers a wide variety of parks, open space resources, recreation facilities, libraries, museums, and performance venues. By providing much - needed spaces to recreate, relax, and play, Temecula's park, recreation, and community facilities help to promote a strong sense of community in the City, improve property values, enhance the business climate and local economy, and generally contribute to a higher quality of life for residents and visitors alike. Existing Recreation Resources The City of Temecula has forty-one (41) parks encompassing 320.64 acres, over 6,000 acres of preserved open space, approximately twenty-two (22) miles of trails, and fourteen (14) community facilities including a Library, a Senior Center, four Recreation Centers, two Museums, and the Old Town Temecula Community Theater.

Section ONE: Introduction 1.1 PURPOSE OF THE COMMUNITY SERVICES MASTER PLAN The City has prepared a comprehensive Community Services Master Plan to address the long-term community service needs of residents of Temecula. This Master Plan contains: A. An inventory of current resources: parks, programs, services, recreation facilities, and trails system; B. Current and projected community needs; C. Parks, recreation facilities, and trails improvements; D. Target locations for future park improvements; E. A City-wide bicycle route and recreation trails system; F. Timing and phasing of parks, recreation facilities, and trails; and G. Cost estimates for parks and recreation facilities development costs. The Community Services Master Plan supports implementation of the goals and policies in the Open Space/Conservation Element of the City's General Plan. The Community Services Master Plan should be updated every 5 to 7 years to reflect changes in demographics, development, and the economy. 1.2 BENEFIT OF PARKS AND RECREATION Parks and recreation facilities offer a broad range of benefits for residents including: • Improving health and wellness, building self-esteem, reducing stress and providing opportunities for learning, and living a more balanced productive life. • Building stronger families and enhancing community spirit. • Protecting open space areas and natural resources, enhancing air and water quality, providing and protecting wildlife habitat, and improving overall community livability. • Attracting business relocation and expansion, contributing to a healthy and productive work force and economy, attracting tourists and retirees, and enhancing real estate values. In addition to residents having access to parks, recreation facilities, and trails, the availability of a wide -range of recreation programs and leisure opportunities is a major component of the quality of life in any community. Recreation programs benefit households, families, businesses, neighborhoods, and individuals of all ages, income levels, cultures, and abilities by creating environments that engage people in positive activities. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section ONE: Introduction Through the VIP strategic plan document, Creating Community in the 21 st Century, CPRS has articulated the diverse benefits accrued from parks and recreation in its vision statement: We Create Community Through People, Parks and Programs. This vision was carefully crafted from feedback obtained throughout the action planning process. To accomplish the vision, the action plan highlighted nine missions that park and recreation programming and facilities should demonstrate: Arts Academy • Strengthen community image and sense of place • Support economic development • Strengthen safety and security • Promote health and wellness • Foster human development • Increase cultural unity • Protect environmental resources • Facilitate community problem solving • Provide recreational experiences 1.3 APPROACH AND DOCUMENT ORGANIZATION The Community Services Master Plan approach and document is organized as follows: Where we are now Existing Recreation Resources Where do we want to be?

City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 11 Section ONE: Introduction Appendix (under separate cover) The Appendix contains summary reports for each topic, as well as the original reports in their entirety (workshop summaries, community survey summary report, etc.), which have been summarized in the Master Plan. A complete list is available in the table of contents at the beginning of this document. 1.4 PHYSICAL SETTING Incorporated on December 1, 1989 as a General Law City, Temecula has become one of the fastest growing cities in the State of California. Located in the southwestern corner of Riverside County, the City provides a peaceful setting embracing the rich history of the area. It is bordered by unincorporated land and mountains to the west, the City of Murrieta to the north, the City of Rainbow and The Pechanga Indian Reservation to the south, and by unincorporated land to the east. Temecula is a tourist and resort destination, due in part to the Temecula Valley Wine Country, Old Town Temecula, and championship golf courses. Temecula's Planning Area totals approximately 62 square miles and is shown in Exhibit 1.4- 1. The present City boundary encompasses approximately 37 square miles. The 25 square mile Sphere of Influence, established by the County's Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), includes unincorporated areas that could potentially be annexed in the future, on a project by project basis, by the City of Temecula. (source: General Plan Introduction) Temecula was planned to offer the best amenities for the City, while preserving the topography of the surrounding area.

Demographic characteristics such as age, presence of children, ethnicity, and income have been demonstrated in past research to have a strong correlation to recreating patterns and needs. For those reasons, it is important to consider the history and evolution of community composition as a City plans for the future. Temecula's demographic profile is based on the latest Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) data available. 112,628 2019 Population 29,1 2030 Projected Popula#ion Temecula's age profile is based on the latest ESRI demographics and illustrated below in Exhibit 1.5-1. The 2019 City population has an age profile of 28% that are under the age of 19, 22% are between the ages of 19 and 34, 39% are between the ages of 35- 64, and 1 1 % of the population is over 65 years of age. r 28% 22% 39% 11% Pop <19 Pop 19-34 Pop 35-64 Pop 65+ Exhibit 1.5-1: Temecula Age Profile Four demographic characteristics have been prepared as part of a foundation for understanding City residents' recreation needs and preferences now and in the future. • Historical population growth • Historical household (occupied housing unit) growth • Historical demographic trends for residents • Forecast of population and household growth to 2030 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 13 Section ONE: Introduction Historical Population Growth As illustrated in Exhibit 1.5-2, there was significant growth from the 2000 population of 57,716 to the 2010 population of 100,103. There was a large drop in the growth rate from 2010-2019 most likely due to the recession. There is an anticipated slight drop in the growth rate for the next 5 years, although it is important to note that the population in Temecula is still growing and not at build - out. Historical Household Growth Exhibit 1.5-3 presents a history of growth of occupied housing units within the City. The occupied housing units in the City of Temecula during the 2010 to 2019 time frame went from 31,783 to 35,638. The volume of housing units in the City grew 12.1 % between 2010 and 2019. The ESRI forecast data set identifies an additional 2,023 occupied housing units by 2024 for a total of 37,661 housing units.

A review of historical demographic trends for the City and County for perspective, examining data from 2010 and 2019. This data describes and compares the City and County's community composition and evolution, using many demographic characteristics, such as household size, income, age, race/ethnicity, and homeownership. • Average household size remained relatively the same in the City from 2010 to 2019 (3.15 in 2010 and 3.16 in 2019) despite the substantial increase in population. The county trend also shows a slight increase in household size for the same time frame (3.14 in 2010 and 3.18 in 2019). • The median household income in the City was 35% above the median figure for the County in 2010 and estimates for 2019 anticipate the City median household income could grow to 44% above the County's median. • From 2010-2019, the median household income in the City grew by 20.7% compared to a 12.8% rate of growth for the County. The median income for the City from 2019-2024 is expected to increase 1 1.2% and the median income for the County is expected to increase 18.9%. 14 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section ONE: Introduction • The age groups demonstrating the greatest decline in the City from 2010 to 2019 included residents 10 to 14 years of age (down 15.8%), residents 35 to 44 years of age (down 13.3%), and residents 5 to 9 years of age (down 13.3%). • The age groups demonstrating the greatest growth in the City from 2010 to 2019 included residents 65 to 74 years of age (46.7%), residents 55 to 64 years of age (32.2%), residents 85+ years of age (25%), and residents 25 to 34 years of age (25%). The City population trend among residents 55 years of age or older is similar to that experienced in many communities and reflects the aging of a group known as the Baby Boomers. The pattern of growth in the City's population from 2010 to 2019 by this age group was similar to the pattern among County residents. This group is staying in better physical condition and living longer. Growth in this age group suggests the City should consider assuring that facilities and services are tailored to the special interests of seniors or mature adults and have the capacity to serve this burgeoning population group. As a result of the changes in the distribution by age, the median age in the City grew from 33.4 years in 2010 to 34.8 years in 2019 with a projected median age of 35.2 years in 2024. Examining the City population by race and ethnicity, there was an increase identified from 2010 to 2019 in the share of residents identifying themselves as Black, Asian, or Other (identifying two or more races), while a decline was noted in the number residents identifying as White. The greatest growth was among Asian (up 13.3%) and Black residents (up 9.8%). Similar race or ethnic diversification was also noted in County trends. Estimates for 2024 suggest continued growth among Asian and Black residents with continued decline in White residents. • The Hispanic population increased from 24.7% in 2010 to an estimated 29.1 % in 2019. The projected Hispanic population in 2024 is 32%. In 2010, 50.2% of Temecula households included children less than 18 years old and the County had 42.9% households with children less than 18 years old. The 2017 American Community Survey (ACS) estimate identifies a potential decline in Temecula households with children to 45.3%. The City's proportion of homeowners has remained somewhat static over the nine- year period between 2010 and 2019 (from 64.6% to 65.2%), while the County shows a slight decline (from 59.6% to 57.7%). Estimates for 2024 suggest that an increase in homeowners in both populations is expected over the next 5 years (65.9% for the City and 58.2% for the County).

Exhibit 1.5-4: Temecula Population Estimates and Projections 1.6 DEPARTMENT ORGANIZATION The City of Temecula Fiscal Year 19/20 City budget describes the functions of the Community Services Department as: "A comprehensive neighborhood and community park system, as well as a complement of recreational and cultural programs, community and human services and special events, and activities aimed at enhancing the high quality of life of our youth, teens, adults, seniors, and special needs population." In addition to providing parks, facilities, and open space, the City of Temecula's Community Services Department provides a range of programs and services geared towards meeting the recreation needs and interests of residents of all ages. 16 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section ONE: Introduction The delivery of recreational programming and services is divided within the Community Services Department into several areas. The following Community Services Department Organization Chart (Exhibit 1.6-1) identifies six (6) separate areas of management, operational, and budgetary responsibility.

Community Goal #2: Provide a City-wide multi -use trails system that includes bicycle, jogging and equestrian trails. Community Goal #3: Provide a balanced recreation program that meets the needs of all age groups in the community. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 17 Section ONE: Introduction There are several existing documents and plans that relate to the Community Services Master Plan and influence its direction. These documents and their relationship to the planning process include: Temecula General Plan and Zoning Each city in California is required by State law to adopt a comprehensive, long- term General Plan for its own physical development. The General Plan consists of mandatory and discretionary elements including land use, housing, circulation, conservation and open space, safety, noise, air quality, and economic development. California State law requires that the day-to-day decisions of a city should follow logically from, and be consistent with, the General Plan. Temecula's General Plan's Vision Statement is: Temecula supports a family -focused lifestyle enjoyed by its residents, while promoting a strong local business community and agricultural, technological, and manufacturing industries. The community continues to be a regional destination for those seeking the desirable atmosphere established by wineries and historic Old Town. A strong business community, quality housing stock, scenic open space, and cultural amenities make Temecula a desirable place for higher education facilities to locate. Cleanliness, positive community identity, and low crime rate make residents feel safe in their neighborhoods, commercial districts, and schools. The City's Zoning Map indicates various land uses including residential, industrial, schools, parks, and open space. The Zoning map is used as a tool to identify the service area gaps and the potential locations for future parks in the Community Services Master Plan, Section Three Needs Assessment and in Section Four Recommendations. 18 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section ONE: Introduction Parks and Recreation Master Plan (1993) The City's population in 1992 was only 32,000. Approximately 40 acres of parkland was developed in (5) five parks: a sports park with only 30% developed (Ronald Reagan Park), Veteran's Park, Sam Hicks Monument Park, Calle Aragon Park, and Bahia Vista Park. The following 1 1 guidelines were developed as part of the 1993 Master Plan: l . Conserve open space for its natural, cultural and recreational values. 2. Provide financial support for parks and recreation services. 3. Provide close -to -home recreation opportunities. 4. Encourage joint -use of existing physical resources. 5. Ensure that recreation facilities are well -managed and well -maintained, and that quality recreation programs are valuable by employing an adequate number of well -trained staff. 6. Provide a wide variety of recreation facilities and programs to create a positive leisure environment. 7. Provide adequate and responsive recreation services through sound planning. 8. Make environmental education and management an integral part of park and recreation policies and programs. 9. Strengthen the role of cultural arts in recreation. 10. Encourage citizen interaction and socialization. 11. Foster a climate of volunteerism. Cultural Arts Master Plan (1999) Seven goals were created with input from almost 400 people which included a 24 member Planning Committee of Community Leaders, 40 stakeholder interviews, written surveys distributed to and collected from arts and cultural organizations and individual artists, a public intercept survey (conducted by City staff) involving 200 Temecula area residents and a series of focused group discussions, The 7 goals are: • Provide opportunities for arts education. • Generate awareness and participation through public involvement. • Enhance community through art in public places. • Assist and encourage cooperation between organizations and artists. • Develop facilities to accommodate visual and performing arts. • Preserve historic legacy of Temecula Valley. • Provide Funding and Resources Necessary to Implement the Arts and Culture Master Plan. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 19 Section ONE: Introduction Youth Master Plan (2008) In 2008, the City of Temecula engaged Temecula's youth and the overall community in a strategic planning process to develop a plan detailing how the community could work to make Temecula a better place for youth and teens both today and in the future. Strategies and an action plan were identified within the document. The following strategies defined how the City was to achieve The Master Plan outcomes and vision. • Public -Private Partnerships • Organized Activities • Community Facilities • Safety • Respect and Understanding • Life and Job Skills • Transportation Access • Public Information and Oversight Quality of Life Master Plan (2010) The QLMP was adopted in 2010 and provides goals and indicators for improving the community over a 20 year period to 2030. Among the ten high priority goals and recommendations for Temecula by 2030, the following are particularly relevant to Community Services: • Continued focus to provide very high -quality, unique and innovative programs, facilities, and infrastructure for our residents. • Continued protection and enhancement of the City special natural resources - air quality, open space and parklands, wine country, and clean water that provide a special and healthy quality of life, and attainment of resource efficiencies such as energy conservation. • Completion of a network of integrated trails, bikeways, roads and highways to ensure mobility and access. • Development of high amenity arts, culture, history, and sports events and facilities. Community Playbook for Youth with Special Needs (2012) In 2012, the City of Temecula developed the Community Playbook through a collaborative effort led by the City's Community Services Department that included regional stakeholders, and other interested community members. The Playbook was drafted to address the growing need to provide services and programs to youth and 20 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section ONE: Introduction families affected by Autism. As stated in the Community Playbook, the Southwest Riverside Autism Task Force (SRATF) appoints its members to work together on addressing ways to: • Assess the availability of services currently provided through the region to help understand common screening measures, early diagnoses, and treatment options. • Review current services that have been effective with providing the best practices of treatment service options. • Review effectiveness and accessibility of programs and services provided to individuals and families with autism. • Review concerns and issues in programming and services and how they can be readily addressed. • Provide individuals and families a forum and platform to address concerns. • Assess availability of services in respect to cost, location, and types of services provided. • Identify funding sources, social welfare programs, and fundraising opportunities. • Locate and discuss jobs and post -secondary educational options for transitional independence. • Raise awareness through local and county wide communities and agencies. • Build partnerships with service providers, autism related non-profit organizations, county agencies, state agencies, and local churches. Community Survey (2014) Although much of the Community Opinion Study focused on topics unrelated to parks and recreation, the study did address parks, recreation, and open space at several points in the survey. The key take-aways are summarized below: • Parks, recreation and open space were among the things residents like most about living in Temecula. • Improving and developing parks and recreation facilities was among the things residents indicate would most enhance the quality of life in the City (8.6%). • The importance residents assigned to parks and recreation facilities was unusually high in Temecula. • Residents generally had a high opinion of the City's efforts to provide parks and recreation facilities, protect open space, and provide recreation programs. • Temecula residents made regular use of the City's parks, recreation facilities, and related amenities. • Ratings of Temecula's parks and recreation facilities were very positive, and have improved over time in some respects. • Approximately half of all Temecula households participated in City -provided parks and recreation programs and special events, and they had a high opinion of the services. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 21 Section ONE: Introduction Multi -Use Trails and Bikeways Master Plan (2016) The Multi -Use Trails and Bikeways Master Plan is a strategic and practical guide for improving and expanding the City of Temecula's trail and bikeway network in Temecula. It is a community - driven tool for staff and decision makers to prioritize improvements and investments. The Master Plan was last updated in September 2016 and is intended to provide a truly comprehensive network that connects the destinations that residents of Temecula want to access by bike or on foot, especially schools, parks, open spaces, shopping and employment centers. The Master Plan identified gaps in the existing city-wide trail system. Parks Assessment (2016) 0 ®� �®7 -- �" -A, HIKEBIKETEMECULA.ORG In May 2015, the City of Temecula commissioned a Parks Assessment through the City's Economic Development Department. A team of interns was selected to gather data and develop a report for 38 parks within the City of Temecula. The Assessment had two objectives: Develop park profiles including identification of needed renovation or repair. Identify candidates for Destination Parks. Outcomes led to current park renovation process. Senior Services Master Plan (2016) The impetus for the 2016 Senior Services Master Plan came from the needs of a growing senior community and the values established in the City's Quality of Life Master Plan 2030. The public process and community feedback was based on community outreach through meetings, workshops, stakeholder interviews, and a questionnaire completed by 218 seniors. Through this process several clear priorities stood out forming the basis for the Plan's goals: • Affordable senior housing, including support for aging in place. • Affordable and accessible transportation. • Affordable and accessible healthcare. • Access to financial and legal services. • Creation and support of a resource center for aging and disabilities. • Opportunities for education, employment, volunteerism, and social support. • Ongoing involvement in the development of Senior Services within the community. • Promote inter -generational programs. 22 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan The Eagle Soar Playground and Splash Pad is a Special Use Park. It is intended to provide a safe and welcoming playground where children of all abilities can come and play together and feel a sense of belonging and acceptance. Section TWO: Existing Recreation Resources Section Two provides classification and inventory of existing City parks and recreation facilities, and trails. Private and Regional recreation resources are also briefly discussed. The Recreation program inventory is also included in this section. 2.1 PARK DEFINITION Title 12, Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places, of the Temecula Municipal Code describes `parks' as: "Any community park, neighborhood park, special use or any other recreational facility maintained by the City of Temecula." For purposes of this Master Plan report, the term "park" will also include pocket parks. Areas not generally considered as "parkland" include: street medians and parkways; natural preserved or conserved open space areas without access or improvements; unimproved land zoned for uses other than recreation; private and homeowner association parks; and flood zones. 2.2 TEMECULA PARK TYPES The 1993 Parks and Recreation Master Plan identified five broad categories of parks: Neighborhood, Community, Special Use Parks, Trail Head Parks, and Recreation Trails. The 1993 park type definitions do not accurately depict the existing park system that has developed over the last 26 years. Particularly as it does not identify the many small park areas that are more appropriately identified as "pocket parks". Park classifications are useful in a number of ways. They can help define a set of characteristics to serve as a guide when parks are constructed or renovated. They can also restrict incompatible activities by limiting those activities to only certain types of parks. This Community Services Master Plan proposes an updated classification system of parks that is more closely aligned with the detail uses and acceptable features of each type of park. The following park types and classification definitions are suggested: Pocket Park Pocket Parks are small in size, less than 2'/2 acres, and serve the immediate neighborhood. Pocket parks are frequently created on a single vacant building lot or on a small irregular piece of land. These parks provide a landscaped respite from the surrounding areas and often offer places to picnic or play. These parks may contain limited recreation assets such as benches, picnic tables, open play area, playground, and a sport court. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 25 Section TWO: Existing Recreation Resources Neighborhood Park Neighborhood Parks are approximately 2'/2 to 10 acres and serve the surrounding neighborhoods within'/2 mile radius (15-20 minute walk) without significant architectural barriers. Neighborhood parks are easily accessible by pedestrians and bicyclists. Park features may include open play area, barbeques, picnic tables, sport court, improved paths, and support facilities such as restrooms and/or vehicle parking. Community Park Community Parks vary in size and meet the recreational needs of a larger segment of the population. They may also preserve unique landscapes and open spaces. Community park sites should be accessible by arterial and/or collector streets, as well as to pedestrians and bicyclists by connecting to the trail network. Geographic range of users is up to 3 miles or City-wide if the park contains or is adjacent to a community recreation facility. These parks serve multiple uses and provide recreational facilities that accommodate large group activities not typically provided for in neighborhood parks. Parking lot and restroom facilities are typically provided at these parks. Special Use Park Special Use Parks refer to a stand-alone park or recreation facility that is designed to serve a unique activity such as a skate Joint Use Facilities Butterfield Stage Park: Neighborhood Park Patricia H. Birdsall Sports Park: Community Park Temecula Skate Park: Special Use Park park or universal playground.

The process involved gathering both qualitative input (e.g. stakeholder interviews, focus groups, and community workshops) and quantitative input (e.g. multi -modal community survey and sports organization survey). Each need identification tool and each bit of information gathered is a piece of the puzzle leading to a deeper, more thorough understanding of the community. All of the pieces, taken together, complete an overall picture of the community service needs specific to the City of Temecula. The following methods and processes were utilized to conduct the Community Services Needs Assessment and are addressed in this section: • Community Engagement: provides direct responses from the local community through the following outreach tools: stakeholder interviews, staff interviews, focus groups, community workshops, multi -modal community survey, and sports organization survey. • Recreation Facility Demand and Needs: estimates current and future facility needs based on the sports organization survey data and the multi -modal community survey data. • Service Area Gap: examines how parks and recreation facilities are distributed throughout residential areas in the City. • Parkland Acreage: evaluates the parkland acreage needs in the City based on established standards and specific needs of the City. • Facilities Maintenance Assessment: identifies the existing conditions of parks and facilities and outlines issues the City may be faced with over the next several years due to emerging recreation activity demands and financial constraints. • Department Organization and Staffing Assessment: identifies current structure and offers ideas for improvement. 3.1 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT What are Temecula residents saying about Community Services?

Participants were instructed to review the ' list and asked if they wanted to add any facility or program needs, they felt were missing. Next, participants individually prioritized the facility needs. Each individual Mae received 10 stickers to identify their top 10 priorities on an enlarged sheet of facility needs. Then, each group discussed individual responses until they recorded consensus on the top 5 priorities. The following are the two topics discussed and the associated consensus response results combined from all community workshops.

Telephone interviews averaged 16 minutes in length and were conducted during weekday evenings (5:30PM to 9PM) and on weekends (LOAM to 5PM). The interviews were conducted in English and Spanish. This sample of interviews carries a margin of error of ± 2.7%. How well is the City performing in meeting residents' recreation programming needs? The City of Temecula offers a broad array of recreation and community programs to residents often tailored to specific age groups. Programs include organized group recreation and sports programs, individual sports and recreation activities, visual and performing arts, educational classes, personal health courses, and special events. The results of this survey clearly indicate that the City is doing a solid job meeting residents' needs with respect to recreation programming. More than one -quarter of households have participated in a recreation or cultural arts program, class, or activity offered by the City within the past year, and among those, close to 90% indicated that the overall quality of the programs as well as the quality of instructors were excellent or good. Additionally, over two-thirds provided a favorable rating to the quality of the equipment used and cost of the programs. 68 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section THREE: Community Services Needs Assessment • Most Frequent Adult Recreation Activities (see Exhibit 3.1-6A): With regard to adult recreation, hiking and walking was by a wide margin the most common recreation activity (59%), followed by jogging and running (21 %), biking and cycling (18%), swimming (1 1%), exercising/going to the gym (9%), picnicking (8%), and dog activities/parks (7%).

As one might expect, frequency of visits varied substantially across household characteristics, with the highest rates being exhibited by households with at least one child or teenager. When the small minority of respondents whose household had not utilized a City park or open space area, recreation facility or community center, City library, or museum or performance venue in Temecula were asked if there was a particular reason they had not done so, the most common responses were no particular reason, that they no longer have kids/dogs in the home, no time/work schedules, and general lack of interest.

The last substantive section of the survey informed respondents that the Community Services Department funds its operations, programs, and services through existing allocations from revenue measures. Respondents were asked whether they would support or oppose various strategies to fund program, park, or facility improvements that they consider a high priority. Respondents were more than twice as likely to favor allocating a higher share of existing funds from revenue measures to fund a program, park, or facility improvement that they considered a high priority rather than setting higher fees. Specifically, more than half of respondents would support allocating a higher share of existing funds toward facilities (60%) or programs (59%) compared with less than a quarter of respondents indicating support for setting higher fees for rentals (24%) or programs (23%) that they considered a high priority. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 77 Section THREE: Community Services Needs Assessment 3.1-7 SPORTS ORGANIZATION SURVEY As part of the development of the custom park standards calculation an ESRI online questionnaire was designed and distributed to the sports organizations that use City facilities. This questionnaire obtained information regarding the number of players and teams in the league or sports organization, age ranges of the players, what seasons they play, if they travel outside Temecula to play, and if they participate in tournaments. City staff invited thirty (30) sports organizations via email to complete the online survey. Twenty-seven (27) sports organizations responded. Information was gathered regarding the number of players, size of teams, seasonality and turnover of facilities for games. This information was used to better define peak day demand (Facility Demand) and convert that to the number of facilities required to meet the needs (Facility Needs) for this segment of the recreation market. The custom park standards calculations or demand/needs is explained further in Section 3.2. The impact of non-resident use of City facilities is an important consideration in assessing facility needs. Generally, demand for facilities to accommodate organized sports are adjusted to accommodate for all players in the leagues, regardless of whether they are living in Temecula. However, in order to fully explore the impact of the non-resident players, the demand and needs analysis included in the appendix identifies two levels of facility need, from resident players and non-resident players.

Standard Sports Facility Size There are different sizes of sport fields and courts depending on age, division, and local standards. Thus local field sizes are taken into consideration and utilized in the demand calculations. As sports evolve and facility availability is impacted there could be modifications to these local field sizes. Sport Field Size (width x length) Range Adult 70 - 90 ft. base path; 275 - 350 ft. center outfield Youth 50 - 60 ft. base path; 175 - 225 ft. center outfield Softball Adult 60 ft. base path; 175 - 300 ft. center outfield Youth 55 - 60 ft. base path; 150 - 200 ft. center outfield Football Adult 160 ft. x 360 ft.

City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 79 Section THREE: Community Services Needs Assessment 3.2 RECREATION FACILITY DEMAND AND NEEDS A key element in any planning strategy is an understanding of the nature of "demand" for parks and recreation facilities. This report assesses the demand for recreation facilities by the participants of organized sports within Temecula, and participation data from the statistically valid, multi -modal community survey. Without this understanding, policy can only be based on general standards of supply and demand, such as population ratios (acres per thousand population) or service area (distance to facility). Such standards are useful guides lacking specific detailed planning and assessment. "The 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review does not include national standards, nor do the benchmarks represent any sort of standards against which every park and recreation agency should measure itself. The reason for this is simple: there is not a single set of standards for parks and recreation because different agencies serve different communities that have unique needs, desires and challenges. Successful agencies tailor their offerings to meet the needs and demands of all members of their communities." - 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review 3.2-1 DEMAND -NEEDS FROM SPORTS ORGANIZATION SURVEY DATA The Custom Park Standards Calculations (CPSC's) for the City of Temecula are based on the 2019 population level of 112,628 and actual participation data gathered in the Sports Organization Survey. The Custom Park Standards Calculations provide an estimate of the number of facilities or `demand' required to accommodate peak day demand in the context of the local design standards. The local facility design is based on the information received from the sports organizations identifying the number of players, team size, and facility turnover for each facility type. TOR/vo GPS t The relationship of the current need for facilities in Temecula to the current population level is the basis for the "facility needs ratio" or the measure of the level of population in Temecula that creates the demand for one facility or one unit of measure such as miles or acres. This ratio for each type of facility is calculated by dividing the total population by the number of facilities demanded. The current facility needs are determined by multiplying the current population by the "facility needs ratio". 80 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section THREE: Community Services Needs Assessment The needs, in terms of the number and size of facilities demanded, are then compared with the total of existing facilities available to meet the needs. This information is used to determine whether the existing inventory of facilities is adequate in terms of demand conditions. The following graphic explains this methodology.

In addition to providing appropriate quantities and types of recreation facilities, the City of Temecula strives to provide them in useful and appropriate locations.

It helps to establish an excellent park system by providing improved air quality, circulation, and overall improved community health and wellness. One-half (.5) mile is approximately a 10-15-minute walk for most people. Most residences should be within one-half mile of a neighborhood park or amenity that satisfy common recreation needs. This one-half (.5) mile radius around parks and recreational facilities is noteworthy in a community like Temecula where families, neighborhoods, and active -living are central issues. 86 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section THREE: Community Services Needs Assessment To analyze the distribution of existing City parks , a service area radius map is provided for City -owned pocket, neighborhood, and community parks (see Exhibit 3.3-2). A 5-10-15 minute walk map outlines the service availability around the existing parks that are available to Temecula residents. The service area boundaries also reflect the physical obstructions to pedestrian travel created by arterial roadways, freeways, etc. which limit easy access to parks, and are reflected by truncated shapes in the service areas shown on the exhibit. Based on the existing parks the following populations are served within this analysis and illustrated on the following maps. When areas zoned for residential use fall outside of these service area designations, they are identified as underserved. This underserved area or "gap" may become an opportunity for the City to locate some of the facility recommendations listed later in this document. These gap areas in Temecula are indicated on Exhibit 3.3-2: very low density residential areas (orange circle), undeveloped/Specific Plan area (purple circle) and industrial zone/Specific Plan (blue circle). mmrrete Ram Legend �1_ 15 o, Pocket Parks 5 Minute Walk Radius P 10 Minute Walk Radius '9ye y 15 Minute Walk Radius Neighborhood Parks tade1� 5 Minute Walk Radius to way 10 Minute Walk Radius 15 Minute Walk Radius ,>. , 4 Community Parks e1, re4C A VAce a I �"`5 Minute Walk Radius io Minute Walk Radius 3 1 Minute Walk Ra- dius ` 1 1 G � Ten*ful, itaa e� _ 1AV, PA U 8 A VA l .

The City of Temecula currently owns forty-one (41) parks which encompass 320.64 acres of City -owned developed parkland. Several funding sources are used to develop parkland, including Quimby Act in -lieu fees, development impact fees, and developer agreements. Sam Hicks Monument Park The Quimby Act states, "that the dedication of land, or the payment of fees, or both, shall not exceed the proportionate amount necessary to provide three (3) acres of park area per 1,000 persons residing within a subdivision subject to this section, unless the amount of existing neighborhood and community park area, as calculated pursuant to this subdivision, exceeds that limit, in which case the legislative body may adopt the calculated amount as a higher standard not to exceed five (5) acres per 1,000 persons residing within a subdivision subject to this section." According to the Temecula General Plan, the park acreage standard for the City of Temecula is 5.0 acres of usable City -owned parkland per 1,000 residents. This standard does not include natural open space or trails. • Pocket Park 13.92 Acres • Neighborhood Parks 102.07 Acres • Community Parks 204.36 Acres • Special Use Park or Facility 0.29 Acres Total Parkland Acreage 320.64 Acres Based on the acreage identified above and the City's 2019 population of 112,628 the City currently has 2.85 acres of developed parks per 1000 residents. To reach the goal of 5 acres of developed parkland per 1000 residents, for the current population, the City needs a total of 563.14 acres of parkland. Therefore, the City of Temecula needs an additional 242.5 acres of parkland to meet their parkland acreage goal. Additional parkland acreage will be needed as the population grows in the future. It should be noted that private recreation facilities, such as homeowner association parks and golf courses, are not credited towards the parkland acreage goal. Within the City of Temecula there are thirty-two (32) HOA communities that offer open space and/or recreation facilities. When utilized, these amenities may supplement and relieve some pressure on public parks, facilities, and open space. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 89 Section THREE: Community Services Needs Assessment 3.5 PARKS AND FACILITIES MAINTENANCE ASSESSMENT In July 2008 the Temecula City Council committed to becoming a sustainable community by establishing a City Sustainability Committee and directed staff to begin the preparation of a City Sustainability Plan. Through the formation of "green" teams made up of City staff from the Departments of Planning, Public Works, Community Services, Building and Safety, and Finance, as well as representatives from The Gas Company, Southern California Edison, Rancho California Water District, Eastern Municipal Water District, CR&R Waste and Recycling Services, and the Air Quality Management District, specific implementation measures were identified. The NRPA standards are through CAP RA —Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA) MODE I State of the art maintenance applied to a high quality diverse landscape. MODE II High level maintenance associated with well -developed park areas with reasonably high visitation. MODE III Moderate level maintenance - associated with agencies that, because of budget restrictions, are unable to maintain at a high level. MODE IV Moderately low level of maintenance. The Sustainability Plan makes recommendations for specific actions to enhance City performance in the following eight categories: Energy, Green Building, Water Resources, Air Resources, Waste Management, Transportation, Open Space, and Community Outreach. For each category, specific goals, success indicators, and implementation measures were developed to continually monitor the progress being made toward becoming a sustainable city. The City of Temecula is doing a remarkable job in the maintenance, renovation, and development of community service facilities within the tight budget restrictions related to governmental operations. Temecula primarily utilizes contracted labor throughout the park system. Based on field reviews, current level of funding, and review of departmental materials, the level of maintenance is currently at Mode 1, a maintenance category established by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). This level is considered state of the art operating standard for municipal parks and recreation systems the size of the City of Temecula with high levels of visitation. While Temecula's level of maintenance is at a very high standard, the park system is showing signs of an aging infrastructure and the need for on -going capital upgrades. Showing environmental leadership, the City has moved forward with the development of sustainable practices. The City utilizes a centrally controlled irrigation system with soil sensors and an automated evapo- transportation (ET) based irrigation control and scheduling system allowing control Butterfield Stage Park 90 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section THREE: Community Services Needs Assessment of multiple sites to exact specifications and daily changes. This is helping to maximize available resources and create a more sustainable City for the future while demonstrating to the public the practices, duties, and tasks associated with environmentally sound park maintenance. Despite the high level of parks and facilities maintenance, Temecula is faced with potentially significant issues over the next few years, including an aging infrastructure, development of an extensive trail/ transportation system including the Temecula Loop Trail, Lake Skinner and Wine County Trails, and the Murrieta Creek Regional Trail. Additionally, changing demographics, new recreational trends, and increased demand for additional sports fields to meet current and emerging recreational activities will impact the City. Despite these issues and on -going fiscal restraints that continue to face governments today, there is the opportunity to further improve on the level of maintenance while modernizing and improving current practices and procedures. Margarita Community Park 3.6 DEPARTMENT ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE & STAFFING ASSESSMENT Park, recreation, and community service functions are well organized within the City of Temecula. Delivery of services both by the Community Service Department and the Public Works Department (parks and facility maintenance) are at a high level for municipal services. Initial review of staffing levels for Temecula Community Services District indicates that while the Department delivers exceptional programming and the facilities are well - maintained, staff has limited time to work with the community and develop new programming. While it does not appear that the department is showing obvious signs of being understaffed as indicated by a backlog of maintenance, increased absenteeism, or excessive overtime, there is an overall feeling from staff that they have time only to complete status quo work tasks. The obvious signs of an over -worked staff are not present, perhaps due to the tenure and experience of departmental staff, many who have been with the Community Services Department for over 10 years, and some celebrating 20 years with the City! While this great level of experience and job knowledge facilitates a well -functioning Department, concern and consideration should be given to attrition, retirement, succession, and sustainability of the system, especially in light of the large number of managers with extended years of service. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 91 Section THREE: Community Services Needs Assessment Improvements can be made and equally important, planning needs to occur now to prepare for succession and long-term sustainability of the Department's ability to deliver services at a continued high level. Key areas of potential improvement that should be explored include: • Succession planning including "job sharing" for the growth and development of younger employees. • Clear and realistic estimates of staffing needs. • Improved horizontal communication both within the Community Services Department and with the Public Works Department. • Development of "matrix style" special projects both within the Community Services Department and with the Public Works Department. 3.7 PROGRAM NEEDS SUMMARY The Program Needs Summary is a key portion of the Master Plan that brings together information from various community engagement tools outlined in Section Two and distills them into a clear overall picture of desired recreation programs. Since all of the needs identification tools are directly or indirectly based on community input, it is fair to say that all of the needs identified are significant and important to some portion of the community. However, it is generally helpful to attempt to determine which needs have the highest priority as perceived by the largest number of residents. The Program Needs Summary (Exhibit 3.7-1) uses a ranking system to establish relative community impact of each perceived need. The needs with the highest community impact are those that have been identified in two or more outreach categories (direct one on one / small group dialogue, public community consensus building, and direct survey responses). Each of these categories represents unique segments and geographic distribution of the population included in the outreach process. A need that is identified within only one of these categories does not have as strong of a community impact as a need that is identified in multiple categories. The more categories that indicate a particular need, the higher the anticipated community impact. As an example "martial arts classes" was identified as a need in only one of the outreach categories (One on One / Small Group) and therefore has a lower relative impact than "senior programs" (Programs) which is identified in all three categories. 92 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section THREE: Community Services Needs Assessment Based on Exhibit 3.7-1 and for the purpose of this summary, needs are highlighted and in alpha order in purple or pink. The colors reflect a relative ranking of community impact; purple indicates that the need was identified in three categories, suggesting a high community impact. Pink indicates a need that was identified in at least two categories.

Since all of the needs identification tools are directly or indirectly based on community input, it is fair to say that all of the needs identified are significant and important 94 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section THREE: Community Services Needs Assessment to some portion of the community. However, it is generally helpful to attempt to determine which needs have the highest priority as perceived by the largest number of residents. The below list is reflective of the most frequent facilities that have been identified by the community across all these categories. The Facility Needs Summary (Exhibit 3.8-1) uses a ranking system to establish relative community impact of each perceived need. The highest (most frequent) community impacts are needs that have been identified in each of the three outreach categories (direct one on one / small group dialogue, public community consensus building, and direct survey responses). Each of these categories represents unique segments and geographic distribution of the population included in the outreach process.

The more categories that indicate a particular need, the higher the community impact. As an example `culinary kitchen' was identified as a need in only one of the outreach categories (direct survey responses) and therefore has a lower relative impact than `preserve open space' which is identified in all three categories. Based on Exhibit 3.8-1 and for the purpose of this summary, needs are highlighted in purple or pink. The colors also reflect a relative ranking of community impact; purple indicates that the need was identified in three categories, suggesting a high community impact. Pink indicates a need that was identified by at least two categories. The highest community impact facility needs (in alphabetical order) include: • Aquatic Center; Swimming Pool; Swimming Pool (50 M) • Art in Public Places; Increase Public Art Acquisition and Display • Cleaner Restrooms; Improve Landscape and Trees; Improve Park Maintenance • Cultural Arts Center; Community Art Gallery/Art Center; Multi -Cultural Center; Studio/Workshop for Arts Classes • Entertainment Venue/Large Event Space (seats 1,000); Amphitheater; Black Box Theater; Music Venues; Performing Arts Center • Homeless Facility; Homeless Issue in Parks • Improve School District Joint Use Facilities Agreement • Kid's Summer Playhouse • Makerspace • More Libraries • More Parking Spaces at Library/Theater/Performing Arts; Old Town Parking • Multi -Sports Venue; Baseball Field (youth); Basketball; Football Field; Pickleball Courts; Roller Hockey Rink; Rugby Field; Sand Volleyball; Soccer Field (youth); Sports Fields, Provide More; Sports Park • Multi -Use Community Center; Community Center; Gymnasium; More Community Centers; Teen Activity Center • Museum • Police and EOC (Emergency Operatons Center; Security/Safety • Preserve Open Space • Senior Center (Add or Expand); Community Recreation Center (CRC) Renovation; Margarita Recreation Center (new); Update Facilities/Community Centers • Shaded Areas • Splash Pads; Water Elements in Parks • Trails/Connectivity of Trails; Bike Trails; Mountain Bike Park; Trailhead; Walking Trails • Urban Park with Gardens and Living Art 96 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan o-! - � -� '.tom �� t i.. ., y ter' = w:l• � - I - ,' ...w�- • •�rh , : . -fir ;_ ib.. -� �,�• �v -- -� ► 'lr ' •4 � `_��.� ��.�� C `_ '�._ �. r � ii � *� n � LSD ` � � � f�. i'�u ' - � 4 • ���. �µ �� Section 4 Recommendations - F- 1 � -he CRC Aquatic Center was remodeled n 2019 and included surface replacement )nd repair, adding shade structures, and new slide.

New recreation elements could be added at existing parks, through joint use agreements at existing school facilities, planned parks, City owned unplanned areas, and/or new property targeted for acquisition. This Master Plan report strives to identify opportunities to consider for the development of future parks to meet identified current and future recreation needs. Ultimately, implementing the Community Services Master Plan will be a dynamic process relying heavily on available funding sources and community input, to provide the direction and shape of future park and recreation facility improvements. Choosing a project or projects identified in this section to pursue occurs within the framework of the capital improvement budget process. Needless to say, adequate funding is required to meet the needs for recreation and community services. 4.1 OVERALL CONCEPT Use of the opportunity sites identified in section 4.3 will involve a separate design and administrative process that may alter how they are ultimately utilized; in which case, the overall concept for meeting recreation needs should be somewhat flexible, but also demonstrate equitable distribution of services. Continued parks and recreation facility planning and development will be needed to satisfy current and future needs. It is intended that the City pursue satisfaction of recreation facility needs using the following key strategies and improvements: • Fiscal Implications - Securing adequate funding mechanisms to support park, facility, and program development; • Park and Facility Development Implications - As recreation needs evolve over time due to generational shifts, facilities should be re-evaluated for potential improvements, while preserving as much natural open area as possible; • Sustainability, Environmental and Park Operations Implications - Securing adequate funding mechanisms to support parks and facility maintenance programs to preserve and extend the life of the Temecula Parks and Community Facilities System; • Public Participation and Relations - Development and implementation of a public outreach mechanism to continuously coordinate park and facility updates and re- assess community needs at periodic intervals of 5-7 years. • Location - Ultimately location will play a large role in the development of new facilities. With each recommendation consideration should be given to the City's overall distribution of existing parkland. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 99 Section FOUR: Recommendations This Community Services Master Plan was developed through direct community input, based on local standards, and the identified needs of the community. Thus, consideration for each new facility or facility improvement should be balanced on the amenities proposed, community feedback, and distribution of existing facilities. These identified needs outweigh national standards as they represent specific recreational improvements for the Temecula community. 4.2 STAFFING RECOMMENDATIONS Homeless Outreach and to a lesser degree Veterans Outreach could be a viable component of a Community Services Department however, due to the close working relationship with Police and City management, this function could be moved to either the Police Department or City Manager's office. If this function remains within Community Services, a third Superintendent should be added to oversee the Community Services Managers responsible for Seniors, Inclusive Services, Homeless/Veterans Outreach, and the Park Rangers. The latter should be moved within this group due to the requirements of a close relationship with Park Rangers and the Police Department, similar to the relationship with Homeless Outreach. The current role of Park Rangers is to first act as ambassadors to the park system and their tasks are not intended to supplement or support the Police Department. Despite this, the Rangers are trained and certified in PC 832 and can write citations. This alone ties their duties closely with the police and enforcement of rules. The positions and staff of Senior Management Analyst and Community Services Manager responsible for Community Relations should be moved to report directly to the Director. The move to report directly to the Director would assist with a complete departmental approach that includes all divisions equally. Additionally, these positions should be responsible for volunteer coordination, departmental safety training, and special projects assigned by the Director that require staff utilization from various functions within the department. The intent is to improve horizontal job responsibilities and communication between functions, reduce duplication of responsibilities, encourage creativity, and foster job development within staff. With the development of the new Margarita Recreation Center, the Department should add a new Community Services Manager to oversee this facility. Staffing at the new Margarita Recreation Center (MRC) and the renovated Community Recreation Center (CRC) should be budgeted at an average minimum of four (4) staff per hour of operation. For the Margarita Recreation Center, this figure could be partially reached with the addition of a new Community Services Manager as recommended within organizational changes. An additional staff position at the Coordinator level should be added to the Community Relations functions, reporting directly to the Community Services Manager. This position would be tasked with a community outreach that includes organization of a public outreach effort, volunteer coordination, and surveying public needs. 100 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FOUR: Recommendations Throughout the Master Planning process numerous sites have been evaluated for the potential to provide recreational opportunities in the community. Some sites are yet to be designed vacant parcels, and some are currently utilized for other purposes but may become available for recreational use in the future. Additional opportunities exist with the development of Joint Use Agreements and Partnerships. There are three (3) categories of opportunity sites: City Owned Existing Parks with Expansion Opportunity There are existing City parks and facilities that could be expanded including: • Veterans Park: Undeveloped property (12.42 acres) Margarita Community Park and Margarita Recreation Center: demolition of existing facility and provide new center to meet the community needs. City Owned Vacant Parcels The City currently has several undeveloped parcels that could be considered for new park or facility development. Undeveloped acreage includes: • Diaz Lot 1 at Dendy Parkway and Diaz Road (10.27 acres) • Diaz Lot 2 at Dendy Parkway and Diaz Road (10.9 acres) • Margarita Parcel near Chaparral High School (1.62 acres) • Ynez Parcel at corner of Ynez and Santiago (7.7 acres) • Main Street Lot (0.2 acres) • 2 Vacant Parcels adjacent to City Hall, next to Town Square Park* (0.25 acres each, 0.50 acres) *Redevelopment Agency properties Main Street Lot Recently the City purchased a vacant lot located between Pennypickle's Workshop Children's Museum and the Old Town Temecula Community Theater. The Old Town Steering Committee requested the City delay any permanent plans until the conclusion of the Community Services Master Plan process. In the interim Public Works, in June, completed several minor improvements to ensure that the lot is usable by the Friends of [Pennypickle's Workshop] Temecula Children's Museum and the Old Town Temecula Community Theater. The Friends and the Theater agreed that the improvements were appropriate and would enhance operations and activities for both Pennypickle's and Theater activities. Special Events within Community Services is coordinating the usage and maintaining a master calendar for the space. The narrow alleyway from the Main Street frontage of The Merc to the OTTCT entrance at the rear is not an attractive or welcoming space. Removing the fence and joining the Lot to the alleyway has the potential to establish an inviting public plaza for the community as well as for theater goers. Designing and creating a festive space for the public at the Lot can help draw increased attention to this end of Main Street, benefiting all of its attractions and businesses. Further, the opportunity exists to expand and improve on the concessions area that is currently limited on selections offered due to not meeting all current codes for a full service kitchen. 102 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FOUR: Recommendations Partnerships and Joint Use Sites Due to the limited availability of certain facilities and the demand from various sports organizations for sports facilities, the City should pursue expanding partnership agreements that outline specific details and responsibilities of both parties and the community's recreation use within Temecula Unified School District. Current agreements are limited and for specific sites, such as Temecula Elementary School, rather than on a District wide basis. Renegotiation and expansion of existing agreements to include School District athletic fields could allow the City to reduce capital costs for new facilities while potentially assisting with the growing needs of the School District. Currently there is no identified surplus school property within the Temecula Unified School District. In the Uptown Area Specific Plan, a parcel owned by Riverside County Flood Control is identified as a potential recreation site. The Murrieta Creek Detention Basin site is a 115.4 acre parcel located between Jefferson Avenue and Cherry Street. The site has portions that have limited use due to flood issues but other portions could be suitable for development of a sports park, nature center, or event center. In addition to the above opportunities there are also parcels within the City currently owned by private parties. These parcels could also provide much needed space to meet the demand for recreation facilities. Parcels include: • Roripaugh Ranch Sports Park: planned (20.66 acres) • Boys and Girls Club next to Rotary Park: not planned (0.6 acres) Roripaugh Ranch Sports Park Located at the intersection of Butterfield Stage Road and North Loop Road, this new sports park will be constructed through a development agreement and conveyed to the City in Spring 2021 (estimated). Boys and Girls Club The City has had preliminary discussions with the Boys and Girls Club regarding ownership and operation of the facility. Options currently range from City ownership and operation, to a joint use operation, and to potentially apply for State grant funding to renovate the facility. The City is approaching the Roripaugh Ranch Sports Park Concept Plan opportunity with a goal of developing the facility and community workshops were held in July 2019 to get the community's feedback on needs for this potential park/facility. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 103 Section FOUR: Recommendations 4.4 MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS SUMMARY The following maintenance recommendations are based on site investigations conducted at the time of this report. These recommendations should be put into practice immediately to continue to provide high quality parks and facilities for generations to come. The list below is the summary of the recommendations. A complete detailed report can be found in the Appendix. 1. Establish a Lifecycle Maintenance Plan for Buildings and Park Amenities This should be built into daily operations, yearly capital improvement plans, and budgetary requests to maximize the value and useful life of these assets. 2. Develop a Soil Management Plan While the City conducts structural soil testing prior to site development, and agronomic soil testing for planting areas prior to landscaping, a soil management plan should be developed especially at those parks which will be irrigated with recycled water. This should include regular soil testing in order to avoid issues with plant die -back, high salt build up from the use of treated water, and sparse or soggy turf conditions. 3. Establish Park Maintenance Performance Standards Develop a process of evaluation and refinement to measure park maintenance success through established performance standards by (1) establishing park maintenance standards and frequency rates and tracking over several years, and (2) establish and track the cost per acre for each park and park type and track over several years. 4. Develop an Urban Forestry Management Plan Develop an Urban Forestry Management Plan that includes goals to (1) maximize the environmental, economic, and social benefits of the urban forest, (2) prevent conflicts between City interest and other vital infrastructure while protecting both, (3) encourage public partnerships related to the urban forest, (4) ensure adequate funding to prune, maintain, and replant the urban forest, and (5) protect native trees and mature forest in City -maintained areas. 5. Promote the City's Park Steward Program The Park Steward Program enlists volunteers for park and facility repairs, maintenance and park clean-ups. The City could reach out to community organizations such as scouts, park users, and/or sports clubs. 6. Develop a Parking Lot and Roadway Maintenance Schedule Develop and estimate the cost of a parking lot and roadway maintenance schedule that includes a plan to correct existing deficiencies and proactively maintain pavement to keep it in good condition. This will generally consist of crack repair, application of sealcoat and slurry seal, and thin overlays as needed to address normal wear and tear. 104 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FOUR: Recommendations 7. Consider Alternatives to Turf Evaluate further opportunities to "naturalize" many existing park areas including the elimination of turf in areas of little public use and development of native plant demonstration gardens. 8. Develop Formalized Community Garden Program Explore the possibility of developing a formalized Community Garden program to provide opportunities for City residents to participate in the program. Many underutilized areas of parks could be potential sites for a Community Garden. 9. Expand Sustainability Efforts The City should expand their sustainability efforts beyond the policy adopted in 2008 and efforts to date, with the development of a formalized Sustainability Performance System. Many of the components of such a system are already in place but an entire program could include: Native Plant Policy, Tracking Utility Usage, Recycling Program, Green Waste Composting, Demonstration Gardens, Use of Alternative Energy Sources, Integrated Pest Management Program, Habitat Development (beyond mitigation sites), Community Gardens, Public Education and Outreach, and Stormwater Retention. 10. Synthetic Turf Fields Synthetic fields should be handled in the budgetary process as a fixed asset with the "carpet" fully depreciated over the anticipated life of the product. Establish policies appropriate for the installation and management of synthetic playing fields including (1) synthetic fields should be installed only at facilities which also have lights for night-time play, and (2) a policy that states synthetic fields will be open for play except under extreme weather conditions. 11. Sport Courts Coated playing surfaces should be regularly inspected for cracks or other surface damage and promptly repaired when detected. When cracks begin to appear in the surface of the courts, moisture can seep below the surface resulting in accelerated deterioration. Each court should be scheduled for resurfacing every five to seven years. This schedule could be staggered so that one-third of the courts are resurfaced every two to three years, thus reducing the workload on maintenance personnel each year. In addition, one standard color should be used for all similar types of structures and records of that color should be kept by the maintenance staff for small repairs or removal of graffiti. 12. Sports Field/Court Lighting Lighting systems should be inspected on a regular basis for proper alignment and functioning to avoid dark spots at night that could be hazardous to players and light spill to surrounding neighborhood. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 105 Section FOUR: Recommendations 13. Irrigation Regularly inspect for overspray and soil moisture, adjusting watering levels as necessary at all landscaped areas adjacent to sport courts, playgrounds, paved parking areas, park roads, and paved trails. 14. Sidewalk and Walkways Continue to conduct regular inspections of park sidewalks to identify settlement and or up lifting, exposed edges, and cracks that may pose a safety hazard to park users. Develop a planting list of tree species that are acceptable for planting close to sidewalks, as well as identifying species which have roots that grow near the surface, commonly causing uplift to sidewalks, such as liquidambar (liquidambar styraciflua). Much like parking areas, immediately repair damaged asphalt areas by either cold crack fill, hot rubberized crack fill, or cold asphalt patch. 15. Playgrounds Expand the "Yellow Swing Program" for those with disabilities to additional neighborhood and community parks. The Yellow Swing is a swing seat designed to help meet the American Disabilities Act guidelines for playground equipment in public applications. Many Temecula parks feature a "yellow swing." Have contract staff regularly inspect safety surface for compaction and daily rake under swings and play equipment landing areas. Due to the rapid deterioration of pour -in -place safety surfaces due to Temecula's climate, the City should continue with the conversion to alternative safety surfaces at all existing and new playgrounds. 16. Park Trees and Landscaping Develop annual cost estimates for a tree pruning program based on a 5-7 year interval between pruning. The City should continue to monitor the spread of the Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (PSHB) beetle in California and take the appropriate steps in conjunction with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) to reduce the spread of this pest. 4.5 PROGRAM PRIORITIZATION SUMMARY Recreation programming can be a city's strongest most versatile tool in that it has the ability to quickly change with the trends in the community. As a general rule the City should strive to maintain high quality and diverse recreation classes and programs being offered by continuing to monitor community demand for programs and classes. Additionally at periodic updates the City should survey current participants and non- participants to determine their preferences for additional kinds of classes as well as potential roadblocks to attending the classes. 106 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FOUR: Recommendations Exhibit 4.5-1 illustrates the classification of three categories of program needs, they are Frequent- (indicated by 3 outreach tools), Apparent - (indicated by 2 outreach tools), and Identified - (indicated by 1 outreach tool).

A list of all of the program needs identified can be found in Section 3.7, Program Needs Summary. Prioritization of the program needs was determined by examining the needs that were identified in two or three outreach tools which may have a greater potential impact across the community. There is an inherent priority of needs based on the number of times a need comes up in each category. For example, the line for "Senior Programs, Classes & Activities; Active Seniors Programs; Senior Fair" (7) is ranked higher than the line for "Hiking/ Walking; Biking/Cycling" (4) in the Frequent category. However, cost implications should take precedence if the City does not have the funds for higher ranked needs but does for a lower ranked need. The following are the recommendations for each category in alphabetical order: Frequent: Programs that have been identified in all three community outreach tools and that may have the most significant impact across the entire community: • Arts and Crafts Classes (Free, Visual and Performing Arts); Cultural Arts Classes, Programs, and Events; Fine Arts Classes (Multi Media / Painting / Photography) [7] • Hiking/Walking; Biking/Cycling [4] • Improve/Expand Existing Programs; Improve Class Schedules/Hours [41 • Pickleball Programs; Bocce Ball; Leagues for Emerging Sports; Regional Sports Competitions; Sand Volleyball; Sports Programs [7] • Senior Programs, Classes & Activities; Active Seniors Programs; Senior Fair [7] • Special Needs Classes, Programs and Events (Developmental and Physical); SKIP (Supporting Kids Involving Parents); Special Needs Teen Programs (Ages 13-17) [4] Apparent: Programs that have been identified in only two of the three outreach tools and may have a strong community impact: • At -Risk Teen Programs; Disadvantaged Programs and Services (Low -Income) [5] • Homeless [5] • Learn to Swim/Swimming; Competition Swim Classes (long course); Water Safety [4] • Life Skills/Life Class; Financial Planning/Money Management; Job Training; Mental Health Classes; Public Speaking/Communications; Teen Programs; Tutoring Program [7] • Marketing and Social Media of Community Services Department [4] • Multi -Generational Programs / Inter -Generational Programs [4] • Music/Concerts; Arts Festivals; Blue Grass Festival; Temecula Showcase; Temecula `Unplugged' Experience 151 • Open Street Events; Community Events; Large Events; Regional Events with Sponsorships; Resource Fair; Special Events [4] 108 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FOUR: Recommendations Identified: Programs that have been identified in one of the three outreach tools have a less significant impact across the entire community, however may have a significant impact to one or more special interest groups. These recommendations should be considered in tandem with the potential fiscal impact for implementing such recommendations. 4.6 PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS SUMMARY The program recommendations presented here were developed from the assessment of existing resources and outreach tools in which the community's needs were recorded and evaluated. Both qualitative and quantitative measures are combined to illustrate where improvements will have the most significant impact across the entire community. Based on the information gathered in part by this Master Plan the following is a summary of the recommended program improvements. Cultural Arts Classes. Programs, and Events • Continue the Second Saturday Events that include multi -cultural arts programs and activities that promote personal connections among participants and allow the community to highlight and share its diverse customs, celebrations, and diversity. • Continue to collaborate with local and regional arts organizations to maximize resources and expertise to bring additional cultural programs to residents. • Explore the development of additional arts & crafts classes and fine arts classes (multi -media, painting, and photography). • For classes with high attendance and/ or waiting list, such as Hawaiian/Tahitian Dance, Youth Musical Theater, and Big Foot All Day Art Camp consider offering additional classes. Outdoor Activities and Program (Walk/Hike/ Bike • Expand passive and active outdoor programs for families including neighborhood oriented walks, for physical activity. :a Second Saturday Event foot races, or bicycle events to provide safe venues City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 109 Section FOUR: Recommendations Implement Safe Routes to Schools (https:// www.saferoutespartnership.org/healthy- communities/saferoutesto parks) and Safe Routes to Parks via a joint Temecula Valley Unified School District project to encourage walking to and from schools and parks. A goal of the program would be to increase the outdoor activities of families by providing incentives for non - automotive transportation and providing additional opportunities to interact with the natural environment. Develop multi -disciplinary health partnerships with schools, local hospitals, F.I.T. Fun Color Run and health care providers, private health clubs, and other agencies to bring public information and educational programs that prevent obesity and successfully promote physical activity across entire communities. Work with Riverside County and other public agencies to determine the needs of the Temecula community and initiate a City-wide strategic planning effort for a Healthy Temecula program. Collaborate with Riverside County agencies, local colleges and universities, and the Palomar Audubon Society to maximize opportunities to share resources in providing outdoor recreation and health and wellness programs. Improve and Expand Existing Programs & Improve Class Schedules/Hours • Temecula should continue to monitor demand for programs and classes to determine and address changing needs and usage patterns. • On a regular basis, no less than every five years, survey current participants and non -participants to determine their preferences for additional kinds of classes and determine if there are any deterrents to their participation, such as transportation, childcare, or lack of technology. • Continue to solicit feedback from residents participating in programs and classes. Sports Programs • Continue cooperative efforts with youth organizations to provide safe and accessible programs that develop skills, good sportsmanship and provide youth experiences in organized sports such as baseball, basketball, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. • New sports interests to be addressed include bocce ball and pickleball. • Explore the creation of alternative sports programming that is of interest to youth such as laser tag and rock climbing. • Explore opportunities for regional competitions. • For classes with high attendance and/or waiting list, such as basketball, kids scuba camp, golf, gymnastics consider offering additional classes. 110 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FOUR: Recommendations Senior Programs, Classes & Activities • Work with Riverside County and other public agencies to determine the needs of older adults in the Temecula area and initiate planning to take a more active role in programming and service needs for older adults. • Evaluate the opportunities to work with local colleges/universities to provide technical support to the computer labs. • Within existing programming market to older adults with an emphasis on well balanced fitness programs including gentle aerobics such as Tai Chi and Pilates that offer a variety of benefits for health and disease prevention. • Identify partners or collaborators to assist in developing programs for older adults at alternate locations. Possible partners may include libraries, AARP, faith -based organizations, health care providers, and educational institutions. • Offer additional lifelong learning programs such as creative arts, technology classes, lectures, short courses, and leisure classes that cater to the adults and particularly the aging baby boomer cohort. • Offer educational travel opportunities and cultural outings with an emphasis on "off the beaten path," scheduled to attract the working retiree. • For classes with high attendance and/or waiting list, such as Fit, Fun and Fabulous consider offering additional classes. Inclusive Services • Expand public awareness of programs for persons with disabilities. • Explore opportunities for those with special needs to learn, socialize, and participate in additional library activities. • Expand existing inclusion programming to allow participants the opportunity for more "hands on" job training classes, to improve their potential for finding employment. • Expand special needs programs for teenagers (Ages 13-17). • Explore potential cooperative agreements with other Riverside County communities to provide programming opportunities for the developmentally and physically disabled. • Coordinate with other agencies and non -profits to increase the availability of summer programs, after school programs, independent living programs, and job training programs specific to youth with disabilities. • For classes with high attendance and/or waiting list, such as High Hopes, Special Needs Visual Arts Program, and SKIP (Supporting Kids Involving Parents) consider offering additional classes. At -Risk Teen Programs: Disadvantaged Programs and Services (Low -Income) Develop a financial assistance program to support youth from families who cannot afford program fees. Expand public awareness of private child and adult day care opportunities. Consider low cost arts classes for inclusive participation of physically, mentally, and economically disadvantaged youth. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 1 1 1 Section FOUR: Recommendations • The HELP Center should develop programs to ensure that veterans are connected to resources and services that improve the safety, health and quality of life, as well as increase the likelihood of success for their entire family. Homeless Outreach Develop a Business Kit for local small businesses that may be impacted by homelessness. The kit should feature protocol for reporting and procedures for businesses to deal with various scenarios when encountering homeless people on or near their property. Aquatics Program Explore the opportunity to schedule advanced aquatic programming during slower off-season periods. For classes with high attendance and/or waiting list, such as learn to swim toddler classes and water safety courses consider offering additional classes. Life Skills/Life Class: Financial Planning/Money Management: Job Training: Mental Health Classes: Public Speaking/Communications: Teen Programs: Tutoring Program • Explore the potential of offering classes to assist in financial planning and money management. • Explore the potential of offering classes to assist in public speaking skills. • Continue to support the technology and homework center in the Ronald H. Roberts Temecula Public Library, as supported by the Community Library Needs Assessment report. • Develop a full line of educational tutoring, career programs, vocational, and life skill classes aimed at the teenage population to be based at the remodeled CRC with an expanded teen area and/or new teen activity centers in the City. • Collaborate with Riverside County, local colleges and universities, and health organizations to expand the number of homework programs and tutors within the library system. • Develop a teen volunteer program for students ages 13-17. The program could be designed to help develop basic leadership skills, customer service skills, and how to supervise school -aged children by assisting City staff with the delivery of programs. Students accepted into the program would have the opportunity to volunteer at City programs. Marketing and Social Media of Community Services Dept. • Continue the 'Around and About Temecula' series and promote to residents. • Evaluate marketing efforts directed towards those subgroups of residents who do not utilize the City web page or internet to learn about recreational programming and performing arts. Options could include flyers directed to school age children, coordination with other service providers, and or employment service providers. • Complete a comprehensive marketing plan that considers all segments of the community and identifies potential promotional strategies for each of the following: o Networking - go where your market is; o Direct marketing - sales letters, brochures, flyers; o Advertising - print media, directories; o Training programs - to increase awareness; 112 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FOUR: Recommendations o Write articles, give advice, become known as an expert; o Direct/personal selling; o Publicity/press releases; o Trade shows, health/wellness fairs and similar events; o Web site. • Develop a Social Media marketing plan that includes web site improvements and increased online visibility based on establishing a brand for the City and the Community Services Department through a variety of social media sites including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, blogs, and video sites such as You Tube. Multi -Generational Programs / Inter -Generational Programs Consider a `Senior Fair' that would celebrate the era of big band music, classic movies, history of technology, and traditional foods. The Senior Fair should be marketed as an intergenerational event that could educate, engage,and inspire the youth, as well as energize the aging population to share generational cultures. Continue to provide "inter -generational programming" to bring various age groups together to enjoy recreation events and activities. Offer Music/Concerts; Arts Festivals; Blue Grass Festival; Temecula Showcase; Temecula `Unplugged' Experience • Continue to provide performing arts and cultural special events. • Evaluate and expand music concerts to include a Blue Grass Festival. • Consider organizing a community event that includes a talent show. Open Street Events; Community Events; Large Events; Regional Events with Sponsorships; Resource Fair; Special Events Work cooperatively with local service clubs to recruit volunteers for special projects or events. • Showcase different cultures in special event programming to enhance cultural understanding and unity. • Expand special events with wait lists in 2018 and 2019 including the Christmas Bus Tour; Senior Excursions; Mother/Son Date Night at the Diamond; Build Your Own Boat Regatta; and Mother's Day Tea Party. 4.7 FACILITY PRIORITIZATION SUMMARY Throughout the Community Services Master Plan process numerous needs have been identified and recorded across multiple outreach modes (public workshops, stakeholder interviews, focus groups, and surveys) during the community engagement process. A list of all of the facility needs identified can be found in Section 3.8, Facility Needs Summary. Prioritization of these identified facility needs was determined by examining the needs that were identified in three or two outreach tools which have a more significant impact across the community. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 113 Section FOUR: Recommendations Exhibit 4.7-1 illustrates the classification of three categories of facility needs, they are Frequent- (indicated by 3 outreach tools), Apparent - (indicated by 2 outreach tools), and Identified - (indicated by 1 outreach tool). The top facility needs in each category are shown as an area of most significant impact. There is an inherent priority of needs based on the number of times a need comes up in each category. For example, the line for "Senior Center (Add or Expand); Community Recreation Center (CRC) Renovation; Margarita Recreation Center (new); Update Facilities/Community Centers" has a ranking of (8) which is higher than the line for "Entertainment Venue/ Large Event Space (seats 1,000); Amphitheater; Black Box Theater; Music Venues; Performing Arts Center" which has a ranking of (5) in the Frequent category. However, cost implications should take precedence. If the City does not have the funds for a higher ranked need but does for a lower ranked need, the priority may shift. The following are the recommendations for each category in alphabetical order: Frequent: Facilities that have been identified in all three community outreach tools and that may have the most significant impact across the entire community: • Aquatic Center; Swimming Pool; Swimming Pool (50 M) [6] • Entertainment Venue/Large Event Space (seats 1,000); Amphitheater; Black Box Theater; Music Venues; Performing Arts Center [5] • Multi -Use Community Center; Community Center; Gymnasium; More Community Centers; Teen Activity Center [5] • Preserve Open Space [6] • Senior Center (Add or Expand); Community Recreation Center (CRC) Renovation; Margarita Recreation Center (new); Update Facilities/Community Centers [8] • Trails/Connectivity of Trails; Bike Trails; Mountain Bike Park; Trailhead; Walking Trails [6] Apparent: Facilities that have been identified in only two of the three outreach tools and may have a strong community impact: • Cultural Arts Center; Community Art Gallery/Art Center; Multi -Cultural Center; Studio/Workshop for Arts Classes [7] • Improve School District Joint Use Facilities Agreement [4] • Multi -Sports Venue; Baseball Field (youth); Basketball; Football Field; Pickleball Courts; Roller Hockey Rink; Rugby Field; Sand Volleyball; Soccer Field (youth); Sports Fields, Provide More; Sports Park [6] • Shaded Areas [4] Identified: Facilities that have been identified in one of the three outreach tools have a less significant impact across the entire community, however may have a significant impact to one or more special interest groups. These recommendations should be considered in tandem with the potential fiscal impact for implementing such recommendations. 4.8 FACILITY RECOMMENDATIONS SUMMARY The facility recommendations presented here are developed from the assessment, analysis, and community engagement tools in which the community's needs were 114 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FOUR: Recommendations r Aquatic Center; Swimming Pool; Swimming Pool (50M) Entertainment Venue/Large Event Space (seats 1,000); Amphitheater; Black Box Theater; Music Venues; Performing Arts Center Homeless Facility; Homeless Issue in Parks More Libraries Multi -Use Community Center; Community Center; Gymnasium; More Community Centers; Teen Activity Center Preserve Open Space Senior Center (Add or Expand); Community Recreation Center (CRC) Renovation; Margarita Recreation Center (new); Update...

Both qualitative and quantitative measures are combined to illustrate where improvements will have the most significant impact across the entire community. 1. AQUATIC CENTER; SWIMMING POOL; SWIMMING POOL (50 M) Frequent Need There is a high priority need for additional swimming facilities as identified by the community and illustrated in the Facility Prioritization Summary Chart, Exhibit 4.7-1. Exhibit 4.8-1 illustrates the existing aquatic centers in the City as well as the general area of survey requests to provide more swimming pools. As calculated by actual local participation (custom park standard), the facility demand -needs analysis (in Section 3.2) there is a need for: • (1) additional competition pool (6 lanes: 25M x 25 yds) • (4) additional recreation swimming pools* *recreation swimming pool should include a shallow depth portion for toddler learn to swim, adaptive swim, and water fitness classes. The need for an Olympic size competition pool (12 lanes: 50M x 25 yds) was only identified in one focus group and is not considered a high priority community need. Comments included `closest [Olympic size pool] is in Palm Springs' and 'Drop Zone in Menifee'. The cost to build and maintain a 50M pool would not support the benefit of serving a small population of long course competitive swimmers. Existing Conditions Existing City Facilities • (2) recreation pools at Community Recreation Center (note: the 6-lane pool is approximately 15 M in length x 25 yards in width which is not standard competition size) Existing Joint -Use Facilities • (1) competition pool at Chaparral High School • (1) recreation pool at Chaparral High School • (1) recreation pool at Temecula Elementary School The swimming pool at Temecula Elementary School, a joint -use facility, is small and shallow. Recommendation • At Chaparral High School the splash play area and diving board should be repaired. Pools should be made available during Spring and Fall, as they are currently only open to the public during limited hours in the Summer months. • There are current plans to add a pool at the Margarita Recreation Center. This is a priority project and would fulfill most of the aquatic needs identified. The City should consider a competition size (25 M x 25 yds) swimming pool at this location with a recreation pool similar to the CRC swimming pool layout. 116 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FOUR: Recommendations • There is a potential need for a public swimming pool in south Temecula should funding or partnership opportunities become available. Evaluate options and work with Temecula Valley Unified School District and/or HOA's that operate pools such as Wolf Creek and Paseo del Sol, and/or private fitness business providers to expand swimming programs for City residents.

ENTERTAINMENT VENUE/LARGE EVENT SPACE (SEATS 1,000); AMPHITHEATER; BLACK BOX THEATER; MUSIC VENUES; PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Frequent Need There is a priority need for an entertainment venue/large event space that may include an amphitheater, black box theater, music and performing arts venue as identified by the community and illustrated in the Facility Prioritization Summary Chart, Exhibit 4.7-1. Exhibit 4.8-2 illustrates the existing entertainment venues/performing arts centers in the City as well as the general area of survey requests to provide more performance venues. Existing Conditions Existing City Facilities • Amphitheater at Community Recreation Center (not fully utilized) • Old Town Temecula Community Theater • The Merc NOTE: There is a small outdoor amphitheater at Harveston Lake Park. Recommendation • Expand and improve utilization of existing performing arts venues. • Consider recommendations per the recent completed Parking Study to provide increased parking, wayfinding and shuttle service in Old Town, specifically for the Old Town Temecula Community Theater and The Merc. • Improve marketing efforts for existing performing arts performances and events to all residents. • Explore potential for Regional attractions at opportunity sites in northwest Temecula. • Grow in region (eastern boundary) by expanding private partnerships (theater groups and venues in wine country, such as Shakespeare in the Vines) and/or joint use schools (Temecula Valley High School Theater). 118 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Legend ti i- Community Recreation Center (CRC) O Opportunity Sites 9 z - Old Town Temecula Community Theater (OTTCT) City Owned Existing Parks with Expansion Opportunity 3 -The Merc (TM) p City Owned Vacant Parcels • Survey Request to Provide More Performance Venues Partnerships and Joint Use Sites if •I �J Murrleta i o Skunk Off* ffNlJ f Z Pinm J9�a 4� 15; _ M�"., • • '7 9� S 9� A s • 4 5erere Way � :.- �, • 4on..

MULTI -USE COMMUNITY CENTER; COMMUNITY CENTER; GYMNASIUM; MORE COMMUNITY CENTERS; TEEN ACTIVITY CENTER Frequent Need There is a priority need for more community centers/multi-use community center that may include a gymnasium and a teen activity center as identified by the community and illustrated in the Facility Prioritization Summary Chart, Exhibit 4.7-1. Exhibit 4.8-3 illustrates the existing recreation/community centers in the City as well as the general area of survey requests to provide more community centers. Existing Conditions Existing City Facilities • Community Recreation Center (CRC) • Jefferson Recreation Center (JRC) • Margarita Recreation Center (MRC) • Temecula Community Center (TCC) Currently there is only one gymnasium and one teen activity center, both located at the Community Recreation Center. There are plans to demolish the existing Margarita Recreation Center and build a new center in the near future. Recommendation • The new Margarita Recreation Center should be multi -use community center that supports the priority program recommendations in this report, including inter - generational programs and inclusive programs. • The 2019 demand -needs (in Section 3.2) identifies a deficit of two indoor full size basketball courts. The City should explore opportunities for the development of a new facility to support an indoor gymnasium. The Boys and Girls Club site on Pujol Street is an opportunity to add one indoor basketball court. • Expand existing teen facility/program at CRC and consider adding a teen activity center to an existing site or in an existing park, near high schools would be most beneficial. Consider Safe Routes to Schools when locating teen center facilities. • Evaluate existing transportation routes to community centers such as availability of public transportation and access to pedestrian trails and walkways, especially in the eastern and southern portion of the City. • The City should explore the costs and benefits of expanding hours of operation at each Community Center. • Should funding for a new facility be allocated the City should review underserved areas in the eastern and southern regions of the City. The outdoor basketball court area at Patricia Birdsall Sports Park was originally planned for a `future' community center site. • As the Jefferson Recreation Center may not be available in the future, consider the opportunity sites Diaz Lots 1 and 2 for a future community center site. 120 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Legend Multi -Use Community Centers O i - Community Recreation Center (CRC) Survey Request for More Community Centers z - Jefferson Recreation Center (JRC) Opportunity Sites ti 3 - Margarita Recreation Center (MRC) 4 -Temecula Community Center (TCC) City Owned Existing Parks with Expansion Opportunity o City Owned Vacant Parcels = Partnerships and Joint Use Sites Lake 5k LLE'Y -IRd I rrrta - +l,� t . 7 • c& B •� / V�� del ppp . 2 4 , efCTO wRy Boa iE E Palm ;f.Y "rcno . �`� Q • • � ens 61 Pla Ya {]r a • 1�a� 79 A R !, o 3 L ^ q pa Ljnv,s� ■ 1 .

PRESERVE OPEN SPACE Frequent Need There is a high priority need to preserve open space as identified by the community and illustrated in the Facility Prioritization Summary Chart, Exhibit 4.7-1. Exhibit 4.8-4 illustrates the existing open space in the City as well as the general area of survey requests to preserve open space. Existing Conditions Zoning Map and Land Use Map Designating: • Open Space (OS) • Public Park and Recreation (PR) • Conservation (OS-C) • Open Space Conservation - Santa Margarita (OS-C-SM) The LUD (Land Use Designation) defines Open Space as public and private areas of permanent open space for such uses as parks, golf courses, recreation facilities, natural open space, recreation trails, greenbelts, lakes, utility easements, active fault zones, and undevelopable portions of floodplains along waterways. Recommendation • Since additional or more open space in the City is not available, it is important to preserve the existing open space by: Enforce General Plan Goal #5: Conservation of open space areas for a balance of recreation, scenic enjoyment, and protection of natural resources and features. As part of Developer Agreements the City shall recommend whether to require land dedication, require payment of a fee in -lieu thereof, or a combination of both, by consideration of the following: (1) topography, geology, access and location of land available for dedication; (2) size and shape of land available for dedication; (3) 5 acres per thousand residents; (4) opportunities to preserve vistas. With recent concerns about youth detachment from outdoor activities, lack of physical exercise and increased health risks, the California Roundtable on Recreation, Parks and Tourism adopted the California Children's Outdoor Bill of Rights for the purpose of recommending a fundamental list of experiences that every child in California would benefit from experiencing, before entering high school. Numerous studies document that children who do these things are healthier, do better in school, have better social skills and self-image, and lead more fulfilled lives. List of experiences include: play in a safe place; explore nature; learn to swim; go fishing; follow a trail; camp under the stars; ride a bike; go boating; connect with the past; and plant a seed.

SENIOR CENTER (ADD OR EXPAND); COMMUNITY RECREATION CENTER (CRC) RENOVATION; MARGARITA RECREATION CENTER (NEW); UPDATE FACILITIES/ COMMUNITY CENTERS Frequent Need There is a high priority need to update existing facilities/community centers including the Mary Phillips Senior Center, Community Recreation Center, and Margarita Recreation Center as identified by the community and illustrated in the Facility Prioritization Summary Chart, Exhibit 4.7-1. Exhibit 4.8-5 illustrates the existing recreation/community centers in the City as well as the general area of survey requests to update facilities/community centers. Location and density of the senior population (ages 65+) is also illustrated on Exhibit 4.8-5. It is important to note that the areas with very high density senior populations (dark pink) include current and future senior housing developments which may include recreation and fitness opportunities. Existing Conditions Existing City Facilities • Community Recreation Center (CRC) • Jefferson Recreation Center (JRC) • Margarita Recreation Center (MRC) • Mary Phillips Senior Center (MPSC) • Temecula Community Center (TCC) Recommendation • Evaluate existing transportation routes to the senior center and community centers such as availability of public transportation (RTA) and access to pedestrian trails. Evaluate Silver Shuttle (senior transportation program) routes, Exhibit 4.8-5 illustrates where the senior population (ages 65 and above) reside. Consider staffing requirements for Silver Shuttle driver. Renovate and/or expand the Mary Phillips Senior Center (MPSC). Currently, the median age of senior center visitors is 76 years old, renovations should include modernization to encourage increase in attendance and participation of the active older adults. Implement the improvements planned at CRC considering the priority program recommendations in this report. Improvements may include the reconfiguration of the teen center, conversion of office space to accommodate a dedicated police substation, renovation of key building components, ADA compliance, renovation and expansion of office space and recreation rooms, and upgraded kitchen equipment. Develop the MRC as a multi -generational, multi -use community center. Include fitness classes for active older adults. 124 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FOUR: Recommendations Legend i - Community Recreation Center (CRC) Survey Request to Update Community Centers 2 - Jefferson Recreation Center (JRC) Iti 3 -Margarita Recreation Center (MRC) Opportunity Sites ® 4 - Mary Phillips Senior Center (MPSC) City Owned Existing Parks with Expansion Opportunity ® 5 -Temecula Community Center (TCC) o City Owned Vacant Parcels llllll■ Partnerships and Joint Use Sites I1r>� >urrota Pem 11A 9� des ��e aq TEMAEC AL r"'. 01, `r a ti 5 � 4e t H*•'..

TRAILS/CONNECTIVITY OF TRAILS; BIKE TRAILS; MOUNTAIN BIKE PARK; TRAILHEAD; WALKING TRAILS Frequent Need There is a high priority need for trails/connectivity of trails, bike trails, mountain bike park, trailheads, and walking trails as identified by the community as illustrated in the Facility Prioritization Summary Chart, Exhibit 4.7-1. Exhibit 4.8-6 illustrates the existing bikeways and trails in the City. Recommendation • Short -Term: Connections to Parks: create connections to local parks and schools via a combination of trails, shared use paths, sidewalks, on -street bikeways, and quiet residential streets. Many elements of these connections to parks already exist in the form of existing bike paths, sidewalks and on -street bikeways. A first step toward implementation of this strategy could be completed in the short-term with the development of a wayfinding system to direct residents to local parks and schools using existing infrastructure. A maintenance program would be required to maintain and replace damaged signs and to support graffiti abatement for signs that have been tagged with paint, markers or stickers. There will also be a need for future Park Ranger patrols on trails in association with the Homeless Outreach Team, Intermediate -Term: Temecula Loop, MWD Easement, and Safe Routes to Schools: complete a loop trail around the City and bisect it diagonally, providing access along the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) easement which also connects to the Lake Skinner Trail. The "loop" portion of the trail is comprised of existing and future trail segments along Murrieta Creek, Santa Gertrudis Creek, and Temecula Creek, as well as a future separated on -street bikeway (Class IV ) along Butterfield Stage Road to form the eastern edge of the loop. Safe routes to schools are a high priority of the 2016 Trails and Bikeways Master Plan. A significant project for the City to consider would be to provide a bridge connection across Temecula Creek to provide access to Gardner Middle School. This would create a safe passage for school children walking or riding their bicycles between the school and the residences immediately north of the creek. The school access benefits of this project would be significant as it would provide direct access (less than one mile from most residences immediately north of Temecula Creek) via low volume streets, paved trail and bridge structures for students who would otherwise cross along a combination of maintenance roads, footpaths and the weir structure within the riverbed; or be forced to walk over two miles along higher volume roadways (via Pechanga Pkwy. or Redhawk Pkwy.). Long -Term Vision: Temecula as a Regional Trails Hub: Temecula is uniquely situated to expand access to recreational trail activities well beyond City limits by connecting residents to existing and proposed recreational trail facilities outside the City. The popularity of long-range bike touring and the recent proliferation of electric assist bikes greatly expand the range of recreational trail users and make such a long-distance regional trail network increasingly practical and desirable for Temecula residents. Consider the possibility of working with the County and SDSU on limited access to the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve due to its potential for hiking, nature center, and outdoor education. 126 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FOUR: Recommendations IsMenifee Winchester + Lake Elsinore r Diamond Valley Lake To Santa Ana River/QC)Loop r ake Elsinore ! \ ♦ E78 ■ ♦♦ ■ Wildomar ♦ E r m ..

SHADED AREAS Apparent Need There is a priority need for additional shade structures as identified by the community and illustrated in Exhibit 4.7-1. Exhibit 4.8-9 illustrates the general area of survey requests to provide shaded areas. Existing Conditions • Thirteen (13) parks have covered/shaded have covered/shaded playground areas: Calle Aragon Park John Magee Park Loma Linda Park Long Canyon Creek Park Meadows Park Nicolas Road Park Pala Community Park Paseo Gallante Park Pauba Ridge Park playgrounds, the following parks do not Redhawk Community Park Rotary Park Serena Hills Park Skyview Park Stephen Linen Jr. Memorial Park Temecula Creek Trail Park Temeku Hills Park Vail Ranch Park 4 Veteran's Park Twenty-six (26) parks have picnic shelters, the following parks do not have picnic shelters: � Calle Aragon Park 4 Paloma Del Sol Park 4 John Magee Park 4 Paseo Gallante Park 4 Kent Hintergardt Memorial Park 4 Temecula Creek Trail Park 4 Loma Linda Park Recommendation • The City should explore adding shaded areas where they are not currently available within parks. Priority facilities would be to add shade structures at new and existing playgrounds, picnic areas, spectator seating areas, and at new and existing sport facilities. Promote Urban Forests by planting trees that provide shade where needed in new and existing parks and facilities. The California Urban Forests Council (CaUFC) states "as the populations in California's towns and cities continue to increase, the need for sustainable urban and community forests also increases. Adding nature back into the paved and developed environments in which we live, work and play helps to reduce a number of the issues that effect our quality of life. Trees provide a number of benefits, including improving public health, providing economic opportunities and advantages as well as supporting a healthy environment that makes all of our lives better." • Implement an In -Memorial or Tree Dedication program whereby residents could purchase a tree through the City' website and the City plants the trees. • Inventory the existing irrigation system and identify a tree planting program/ landscape plan at the sports parks for the purpose of providing shade, and increasing the tree canopy as long as the plantings do not interfere with or compromise the safety of the sports facility. 132 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Legend Survey Request Shaded Areas • Survey Request Shaded Areas Opportunity Sites City Owned Existing Parks with Expansion Opportunity o City Owned Vacant Parcels = Partnerships and Joint Use Sites Nlui rleta i rrlaea 'q 11& 15 Ka 9 Pry � 46 f �'s r, Section FOUR: Recommendations 0 Parks without shaded playgrounds and/or picnic shelters Benon Rd L,ke Ski fran:n ValVy 4rrpor!

Top program and facility needs were identified. The following programs have been recommended for the Margarita Recreation Center: 1. Aquatic Programs 2. Before & After School Programs 3. Health and Human Services and Social Services Resource Center 4. Tutoring 5. Fitness/Exercise Activities 6. Intergenerational Programs 7. Library Services & Education 8. Language Classes Community participants were concerned with specific indoor community center facilities as well as some outdoor facilities and issues. The following facilities have been recommended for the Margarita Recreation Center: 1. Outdoor Recreational Swimming Facility 2. Exercise / Fitness Center 3. Flexible Classroom Space 4. Storage Space 5. Safety/Security As stated in the previous section of this report, there are current plans to add a pool at the Margarita Recreation Center. This is a priority project and would fulfill most of the current aquatic needs identified. The City should consider a competition size (25 M x 25 yds) swimming pool at this location with a recreation pool/spray play area similar to the Community Recreation Center and/or Chaparral High School pool layouts. 134 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FOUR: Recommendations Jefferson Recreation Center Replacement Program Recommendations addressed: Cultural Arts Classes, Inclusive Services, At -Risk Teen Programs, Life Skills, Financial Planning Classes Facility Recommendations addressed: Multi -Use Community Center, Trails The current Jefferson Recreation Center (JRC) facility is on a site that will be impacted by future freeway ramp expansion. The existing site includes a 20,000 SF building and accommodates 26 parking spaces. The building includes approximately 13,968 SF of warehouse space used for a large rehearsal area and storage space for props and scenery. It would be important for the City to evaluate potential sites for a replacement facility to accommodate the current programs and spaces for potential expansion for future identified needs. Programming at the JRC includes pre-school, dance and musical theater programs. Strong candidate sites to consider are the City owned Diaz Road sites. Multi -Cultural and Intergenerational Community Center Program Recommendations addressed: Cultural Arts Classes/Programs/Events, Inclusive Services, Multi -Generational Programs, Senior Programs Facility Recommendations addressed: Cultural Arts Center; Community Art Gallery/ Art Center; Multi -Cultural Center; Studio/Workshop for Arts Classes Add/Expand Senior Center A multi -cultural intergenerational facility could be created by combining multi- media art classes, "maker space", and studio exhibit production with unique displays and activities relating to the story of Temecula Valley. An active intergenerational community center could provide space and activities for "traditional" seniors, active seniors, persons with disabilities, and youth to participate in hands-on classes, activities, storytelling, multi -media art, technology, set design/production, and docent program. This would create a fundamental synergy between an intergenerational community center and cultural arts in Temecula. SHORT TO INTERMEDIATE -TERM: The area in Old Town that is currently occupied by the Mary Phillips Senior Center, Temecula Valley Museum, Chapel of Memories, and Sam Hicks Monument Park is a confusing array of streets and parking that can make it difficult to find the separate facilities. The Senior Center needs to be updated through renovations and expansion, but it is restricted by the site's circulation and parking. The Temecula Valley Museum has discussed plans for an expansion to potentially include the museum, cultural and fine arts and Sam Hicks Monument Park to accommodate a larger facility. The historic chapel seems to function as a wedding venue. Sam Hicks Monument Park is a passive open space with no apparent connection to the other City facilities except the museum. There are plans to activate the park with thematic play elements. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 135 Section FOUR: Recommendations The park, chapel, museum, and senior center are all in need of potential improvements and/or expansion. Interim improvements as identified in this report should be pursued at each existing facility and combined could provide a multi- cultural intergenerafional community center. Exhibit 4.9-1: Senior Center, Museum, Sam Hicks Monument Park and Chapel of Memories Site Area (inside red boundary line) in Old Town LONG-TERM: To provide a multi -cultural intergenerafional comunity center in the future the City could explore a larger site (such as the Diaz Road parcels) with the possibility of a unified effort to create a more original and efficient site plan with clear identity, circulation and parking. 136 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FOUR: Recommendations Old Town Gym Program Recommendations addressed: Sports Programs, Teen Programs Facility Recommendations addressed: Multi -Use Community Center, Gymnasium, Trails/Connectivity The City owns a vacant parcel of land along Murrieta Creek adjacent to the Boys & Girls Club building and Rotary Park. Depending on the resolution of the ownership/ operation of the Boys & Girls Club, a potential expansion/reconfiguration of the area could potentially accommodate a gymnasium, other recreation amenities, support facilities and parking. The site could accommodate a 25-26,000 SF building with a gymnasium that can accommodate an indoor full size basketball court, two smaller cross courts for basketball, volleyball, and/or pickleball, as well as administration offices, meeting/classrooms, storage, support facilities, and approximately 130 parking spaces on the adjacent site.

When Patricia Birdsall Park was being planned, consideration was given to providing a location for a future recreation center. A potential location was designed on the early site plan studies, as construction documents were developed a decision was made to place outdoor basketball courts on the future recreation center site. This area can accommodate a recreation center that could include meeting and activity rooms, a gymnasium, offices, and storage/support spaces. The existing parking area adjacent to the site accommodates 110 parking stalls. Depending on the final program and the parking criteria, the site could accommodate a recreation center of ± 25-26,000 SF.

It has been effectively used for a variety of events. The potential for this area to become the main entry courtyard for the Old Town Temecula Community Theater and an activity/breakout space for The Merc, Old Town Temecula Community Theater, and Pennypickle's Workshop Children's Museum could provide Main Street Lot Temporary Improvements significant benefits for all three venues. An Old Town 'Urban' Park with shade, seating, and festive performance lighting provide a pleasant outdoor setting for pre and post function events and fund raisers. The kitchen/refreshment area between The Merc and Old Town Temecula Community Theater could be renovated to provide a catering or full -service operation to support all the adjacent facilities at the courtyard. Murrieta Creek Sports Park Program Recommendations addressed: Regional Sports Competitions, Sports Programs, Music/Concerts, Regional Events Facility Recommendations addressed: Multi -Sports Venue, Amphitheater, Trails, Shaded Areas The Murrieta Creek Detention Basin site is part of an existing flood control area at Jefferson Avenue and Cherry Street and has long been discussed as a viable candidate for a potential sports park. The site is flat with little significant vegetation and rarely holds flood water. At approximately 1 15.4 acres, 78 acres of the site could be developed as a major sports and event venue, easily accommodating a large number of field sports, support facilities, and parking in a park setting. Capacity studies indicate the site could accommodate full size ball fields, in tournament configuration, three full size soccer fields, a large multipurpose area for a wide variety of fields for emerging sports such as lacrosse, and rugby, as well as a significant number of smaller youth soccer, football, and t-ball fields. A large outdoor event space with a covered stage would be at a central point in an amphitheater like area. Two future restroom/concession facilities at each side of the area would serve the future ballfields. Plans for phased park improvements could be developed to allow for the highest needed sports facilities to be built in the initial phase.

The General Plan provides long-term policy guidance for the community's physical, economic, social and environmental changes. Consultant has reviewed the Open Space/Conservation Element of the General Plan and suggest the following proposed additions or deletions to the Goals and Policies identified by bold or text. Suggestions to modify the `Parks and Recreational Facilities' section in the Open Space/Conservation Element is included in the Appendix. Parks and Recreation Facilities A quality parks and recreation system is a high priority for Temecula residents. Implementation of a Parks and Reereatie Community Services Master Plan is critical to achieving this goal. The Master Plan will strive to attain a balance between quantitative and qualitative levels of service. This balance involves providing an acceptable amount of useable parkland, in close proximity to residents, as well as the appropriate type and number of facilities to meet the recreation needs and desires of residents. The City's parks and recreation facilities are supplemented by other local and regional facilities, which may be influenced and fostered through intergovernmental cooperation. Goal 1 A high quality parks and recreation system that meets the diverse recreation needs of residents and is distributed equitably throughout Temecula's neighborhoods, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, economic status, or physical capability. Policy 1.1: Ensure sufficient parkland and recreation facilities to support new development through acquisition and/or dedication that meets the requirement for 5 acres of useable park land per 1,000 population. Policy 1.2: Locate parks adjacent to compatible use areas, such as residential uses, greenbelts, trails, bicycle corridors, schools, and natural waterways to minimize the negative impacts of adjacent land uses. Policy 1.3: Develop sustainable standards to design park facilities and landscaping that enhance and preserve natural site characteristics as appropriate, to minimize maintenance demands, encourage the planting of native landscapes, and to incorporate xeriscape (low-water demand) principles where feasible. Policy 1.-4: Pursue the joint use of publie lands available and suitable for recreation purposes, including lands under the jurisdiction of non -profits, the Riverside County Flood Control District, Southern California Edison, water districts, school districts, and other public/non-profit agencies. Policy 1.35: Encourage the enhancement and preservation of historic structures and landscape, and significant natural features, such as riparian areas, rock outcroppings, sensitive habitat areas, and viewpoints through park design and site development. 144 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FOUR: Recommendations Policy 1.46: Encourage public safety and compatibility with adjacent uses in park design and development, including location of buildings, activity areas, lighting, and parking. Policy 1.57: Coordinate long-range park, trail and open space planning with Riverside County and the City of Murrieta. Policy 1.,68: Encourage the establishment of natural habitat spaces for recreational hiking and nature education. Policy 1.79: Consider the establishment of special use park features for those with disabilities, seniors, pets, skate boarders, etc. Policy 1.10: Lease or sale of City -owned parkland is discouraged unless such an action meets a demonstrated need which cannot otherwise be met. Policy 1.11: Provisions must be made to replace any parkland sold with an equal amount of land at another location. Open Space The natural features of the Temecula Planning Area provide a scenic setting for the community. Topographical features such as the western escarpment and southern ridgelines, hillsides in the northern area, natural drainage courses, and environmental resources of the Santa Margarita River should be protected from insensitive development and activities. Public views to these areas should be maintained to the extent possible. The City's built environment contains parkways and slopes along roadways that also function as open space amenities. These corridors should be well landscaped and maintained. The network of open space corridors to parks and regional recreation opportunities ties the community together, encourages bicycling, hiking, and equestrian activities, and serve as wildlife corridors. Goal 5 Conservation of open space areas for a balance of recreation, scenic enjoyment, and protection of natural resources and features. Policy 5.1: Conserve the western escarpment and southern ridgelines, the Santa Margarita River, slopes in the Sphere of Influence, and other important landforms and historic landscape features through the development review process. Policy 5.2: Open space shall be managed in such a manner as to allow for habitat conservation uses, for appropriate public uses and to maintain and enhance its environmental quality. Policy 5.23: Identify significant viewsheds to proposed projects that may be preserved through the dedication of open space or the use of sensitive grading, site design, and building techniques. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 145 Section FOUR: Recommendations Policy 5.4: Establish an open space acquisition priority program that identifies acquisition area priorities based on capital costs, operation, and maintenance costs, accessibility, needs, resource preservation, ability to complete or enhance the existing open space linkage system and unique environmental features. Policy 5.5: Support efforts of State and Federal agencies and private conservation organizations to acquire properties for open space and conservation uses. Support efforts of non-profit preservation groups, such as the Riverside Land Conservancy, to acquire properties for open space and conservation purposes. Policy 5.36: Encourage the use of clustered development and other site planning techniques to maximize the preservation of permanent open spaces. Policy 5.47: Retain and improve the quality of landscaping in parkways, public slopes, rights -of -way, parks, civic facilities, and other public open areas. Policy 5.58: Coordinate with Homeowners' Associations to maintain landscaping along slopes adjacent to public right-of-ways. Policy 5.69: Require the dedication and improvement of parkland. Policy 5.710: Require adequate open space in new development for both passive and active recreation. Policy 5.811: Require re -vegetation of graded slopes concurrent with project development to minimize erosion and maintain the scenic character of the community. Policy 5.-12: Require connection between open space / recreation areas and adjacent developments or publicly owned recreation areas where appropriate. Policy 5.+913: Incorporate seismic hazard safety zones into valley -wide open space and park systems where appropriate. Policy 5.14: Preserve the integrity of Temecula's arroyos and riparian habitat areas through the preservation of native plants through the removal of non -natives and reintroduction of native species. Policy 5.++15: Encourage the use of native vegetation where revegetation and landscaping is to occur. Policy 5.+216: Identify and develop natural habitat areas for low impact hiking and nature education. 146 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FOUR: Recommendations Policy 5.+317: Utilize natural, undeveloped greenbelts as buffers between developments and on outskirts of the City to preserve the rural and unique character of Temecula. Trail System Temecula residents walk, hike, jog and bicycle more frequently than participating in other forms of recreation. This level of interest is significant considering that the City does not yet offer a formal, developed trail system. Many opportunities remain for the City to implement a recreation trail system concurrent with new development, road improvements, and flood control improvements. The future recreation trail system should connect to regional trails and functions as alternative transportation routes, where appropriate. This recreation trail system can also link cultural and historic sites within the area to recreational amenities along local creeks, open spaces, and the Santa Margarita River as well as the Cleveland National Forest and Santa Rosa preserve. Goal 8 Development of a trail system that serves both recreational and transportation needs. Policy 8.1: Provide a Citywide recreation system that connects to the County's regional trail system which provides for bicycling, equestrian, hiking and jogging trails with appropriate support facilities. Policy 8.2: Integrate public transportation routes, including Class I Bike Routes, when locating community parks and community centers. Policy 8.-23: Negotiate land deeds as necessary to implement the Citywide trail system. Policy 8.34: Require proposed development to provide trail connections to the Citywide trail system through the dedication of land and the provision of easements. Policy 8.45: Require development plans to identify locations for an internal trails/sidewalk system that links land uses and provides convenient travel to transit facilities. Policy 8.56: Develop trails and sidewalks suitable for multiple uses, including for the physically disabled and for personal transportation alternatives. Policy 8.7: Provide greater amenities at access points and trailheads, where appropriate. Include identification and directional signs, marked parking stalls, water facilities for equestrians, cyclists and pedestrians, hitching posts, shade and trash receptacles. Additional amenities at trailheads could include picnic tables and restrooms. Incorporate trailheads at existing parks where appropriate. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 147 This page is intentially left blank 148 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan The City of Temecula experienced a population growth rate of 12.5% during the 2010 to 2019 timeframe, with approximately 1,392 new residents documented each year. The projected increase is less from 2019 to 2024 at 6.4% INCLUDED IN SECTION FIVE: • Staffing Assessment & Dept.

Meeting these challenges will require equal amounts of vision, resourcefulness, partnership, and hard work. The cornerstone of the success of the Community Services Master Plan is Temecula's ability to secure adequate and stable funding for the development and operation of parks, recreation facilities, and programs. Two major cost centers that require funding in order to implement the Master Plan are: 1. Capital Costs used for potential acquisition and development of new park lands and facilities, as well as the renovation of existing park and school district properties. 2. Operations and Maintenance Costs to develop long-term sustainable resources for existing and new parks and facilities. Current funding allocation is split between several budget categories including: • General Services • Public Safety • Asset Management • Capital Projects It will become increasingly challenging to find the resources needed to build or renovate parks and facilities as well as maintain existing parks and infrastructure. Another difficult task will be sustaining the affordability of recreation fee supported classes to meet the needs of the residents. 5.1 STAFFING ASSESSMENT AND DEPARTMENT BUDGET Since Fiscal Year 2013/14 department staffing has remained static with a slight increase in staffing for recreation over the past two fiscal years. In planning for future staffing, the City should look closely at the organizational structure and determine the most efficient and cost-effective management structure that will support service delivery and implementation of the Community Services Master Plan. The City will need to provide a structure that is flexible in meeting the changing needs and demands of City residents. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 151 Section FIVE: Funding and Implementation The Community Services Department is currently organized around six divisions: 1. Administrative: parks and facility development, strategic and master planning, City and regional initiatives support, and library services. 2. Arts and Culture: community theater, cultural arts outreach and events, history museum, sister cities, and public art. 3. Community Services: contract services, park rangers, and facility rentals. 4. Human Services: seniors and active adults, inclusion services, homeless outreach, and veterans' outreach. 5. Recreation: sports, aquatics, recreation programming, parks and fields. 6. Special Events: signature and community events. Park and facility maintenance and capital project administration is handled through the Public Works Department. For the purpose of this report, budget, objectives, and goals of the Park Maintenance Division are included. The Community Services Department receives funding through Measure C, a Special Tax approved by residents in 1997. This measure created the Temecula Community Services District (TCSD), a separate governmental entity whose purpose is to provide Parks and Recreation services as well as the maintenance of parks and facilities, residential street lights, slopes, refuse and recycling, maintenance of rural roads, lake park maintenance, library services, and intern fellowship opportunities. The tax is charged to households at the rate of $74.44 and is allocated equally between TCSD and the City General Fund to fund both recreation programs and parks maintenance. In FY 2019-20, TCSD's share of the special tax is budgeted at $1,876,279. Table 5.1-1 shows the budgeted amounts for all of TCSD's funding sources for the last three fiscal years. Measure C revenue is basically static due to the fact that an inflator allowing for annual adjustments was not included in the measure. Thus the $74.44 collected per parcel in 1997 has remained unchanged over the past 23 years. For FY 16/17 Measure C generated $1,858,841 in revenue. That amount increased by $14,764 in 2017-18. In November 2016, Temecula voters approved Measure S, a one -cent Transactions and Use Tax for the City. The measure was based on maintenance of 9-1-1 calls, prevention of cuts to local public safety services, youth/after-school, senior and disabled services, improvement of traffic and other general services. Measure S will be in effect until ended by the voters of Temecula. For FY 19/20 the City has appropriated $27,784,000 from Measure S revenues to: • General Services--$9,059,961 • Public Safety--$5,816,870 • Asset Management--$3,000,000 • Capital Projects--$13,109,728 152 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FIVE: Funding and Implementation Description 2017-18 Actual 2018-19 Budget 2019-20 Budget TCSD Service TCSD Service TCSD Service Levels Levels Levels Taxes and Franchises Special Tax $1,873,305 $1,876,280 $1,876,279 (Measure C) Assessments $10,158,177 $10,467,006 $10,969,359 Licenses, Permits, Service Charges Recreation $6,112,237 $360,251 $6,874,229 $62,661 $8,910,385 $71,037 Funding from Measure S Fund Contract Classes $1,008,764 $950,000 $1,000,000 Classes/Activities $48,692 $36,614 $36,739 Facility Rentals $351,410 $364,970 $363,518 Aquatics $199,925 $179,327 $179,327 Museum $12,730 $16,470 $8,751 Admissions Theater $316,256 $358,412 $358,412 Admissions Sports Leagues $198,648 $231,388 $241,888 and Tournaments Day Camps $121,308 $109,480 $109,480 Recycling $17,906 $18,000 $18,000 Program Fines and $78,088 $69,100 $69,100 Forfeitures Use of Money and Property Investment $20,080 $39,160 $20,000 $31,100 $10,000 $9,500 Interest Lease/Rental $4,830 $4,150 $15,000 $4,200 $15,000 $4,200 Income Inter- governmental Revenues Grants $6,997 $55,000 Reimbursement From Other $32,345 $11,026 $40,000 Miscellaneous $127,743 $140,057 $143,918 Revenue Total Revenue $10,513,358 $10,590,670 $11,336,327 $10,582,967 $13,322,797 $11,072,096 and Other Sources Grand Total All $21,104,028 $21,919,294 $24,394,893 Sources Source: Based on City of Temecula Annual Operating Budget FY 2019-20 Table 5.1-1: TCSD Operations Revenue FY 2017-18 to FY 2019-20 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 153 Section FIVE: Funding and Implementation The TCSD allocation is part of the Measure S General Services category and the Library also receives $921,203 from that category. Six of the 11 projects funded by the Capital Improvements Project allocation of Measure S are parks, trails and recreation/ community facilities projects. TCSD also receives assessment revenue to operate five service levels within TCSD related to street maintenance, lighting, slope maintenance, solid waste management, and Lake Park maintenance. In the Fiscal Year 19/20, these assessments are budgeted at $1 1 million. Most of the other operating revenues TCSD receives are program related fees and admission receipts as shown in Table 5.1-1. The total budget is $24.4 million, including the Library Fund, which is $1,030,063. In 2019, Public Works was awarded a Proposition 68/Cal Fire grant for preparation of Urban Forest Master Plan. The grant amount was $323,930. The City Public Works Department maintains City parks and also manages parks and recreation capital construction projects using the parks development impact fees among other sources. Parks maintenance is budgeted at $3.9 million in FY 2019- 20, which is 1.2 percent below the prior year due to reallocation of personnel costs from Parks Maintenance. The funding sources for this includes the City's share of the Measure C special tax and other general fund revenues. In FY 16/17 Department funding was received directly from the General Fund. With the influx of Measure S monies, the Community Services Department budget and staffing levels have increased from FY 16/17 levels. Budget has increased by approximately 20% from the FY 16/17 period to FY 2018/19.

The forecast is based on analysis of economic trends and known development projects expected to be constructed during the forecast period. The forecast is intended to be conservative as is prudent for municipal financial projections, to avoid committing to expenditures if revenues fall unexpectedly short.

Table 5.2-1: City of Temecula Budget Forecast of Selected General Fund Revenues, FY 18-19 to FY 23-24 As of this writing, the nation is anticipated to experience a recession due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The projections above reflect City staff's initial assessment of the economic effects on City revenues. However, there remains considerable uncertainty as to the length of the economic downturn. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 155 Section FIVE: Funding and Implementation Ten year projections of growth for Temecula have been evaluated, as well as current development projects in the planning pipeline to prepare an alternate, longer term, set of projections for three main revenue sources that can help support park and recreation operations from the General Fund: property tax, sales tax and transient occupancy tax (TOT). Together, these revenues support more than two-thirds of the FY 2019-2020 General Fund Operating Budget. The analysis suggests that the City may eventually see higher revenues for property tax and TOT, provided general economic conditions recover. The analysis also projects Measure C revenue for the Temecula Community Services District and Quimby Act fees that may be generated by new housing development over the next ten years. Housing and Employment Growth Assumptions The revenue projections are strongly affected by the level of development the City is projected to experience. The Community Services Master Plan (CSMP) demographic projections utilize ESRI data for population and household growth, which are similar to SCAG projections for Temecula. The SCAG projections show growth of about 4,171 households between 2019 and 2029. The ESRI data estimates the growth in housing units would be 4,310, accounting for a sustained 2.5 percent vacancy rate. This would be a higher rate of growth than the past period, as the City has added just over 2,500 units between 2010 and 2018. But part of the slow growth was due to the recession and in 2015 the City added 687 units in one year. More recently, housing construction has been much lower, but the City has already approved 3,328 units that have not yet been built and has another 787 units in planning review (Table 5.2-2).

Table 5.2-2: Recent and Planned Construction in Temecula 5.3 REVENUE PROJECTIONS BY FUNDING SOURCE TYPE The projections in this section were made prior to the Covid-19 pandemic. The City revenue projections above reflect a 4.2% reduction in the General Fund revenues previously projected between 2018 and 2024, including a 4.6% reduction in property taxes and a 13.4% reduction in sales taxes. TOT projections are higher than the previous figures. The projections discussed below are for the year 2029. We expect City revenues will have recovered by that time, but much of the growth will occur after 2025. 156 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FIVE: Funding and Implementation Property Tax: the City of Temecula receives approximately 5.2% of the base property tax, which is one percent of assessed value. The consultants researched recent property transactions in the Temecula area and developed the following estimates of average property values by land use. Since 2000, single family home prices in Temecula have increased an average of 4.1 % per year. During the recession, prices declined substantially, but since 2012, they have risen an average of 8.4% per year. We have used the long term average of 4.1 % to project increases in the values between 2019 and 2029. We have used a 2% growth rate for the non-residential development. Projecting these values out based on the development, the City would see an increase of nearly $3.7 billion in assessed value in 2019 dollars. However, some additional escalation occurs in the assessed value base. Proposition 13 allows a maximum of 2% per year increase in assessed value, unless properties sell, in which case they are assessed at current market value. With the 2% annual increase in the past years' assessed value base, the total increase in assessed value from the new development would be about $4.0 billion by 2029. Sales Tax: the City receives 1 % of the value of taxable goods in the base sales tax (Bradley Burns). In addition, Measure S generates another 1%, although due to differences in how the tax is levied, Measure S is projected to generate about 70- 73% as much revenue in FY 2019-20 as the base tax. In FY 2019-20, about 20% of the Measure S revenue is programmed to be transferred into the General Fund, although that percentage is planned to increase substantially in the next few years. As discussed elsewhere in this chapter, Measure S is used to fund capital improvements, including parks and recreation facilities, as well as other City public improvements. Sales tax can be expected to grow as new households come into the City and spend income at existing and future retail stores in the City. The 4,171 new households projected for this study would generate demand for $84.8 million in additional taxable sales, of which as much as 80% would be spent in Temecula, generating nearly $1.1 million (2019 dollars) per year in total sales tax for the City, including Measure S. The new commercial development projected for the City would also generate new sales taxes. We estimate Temecula residents' spending accounts for about 20% of total sales tax the City receives, with 80% generated by non-resident shoppers, business to business transactions and visitors to the City. Not counting spending from the new households, the new commercial development would generate about $1 1.4 million in new sales tax in 2029 (2019 dollars) including Measure S. Annual inflation has averaged 1.83% between 2009 and 2019. Adding this to the calculations, including inflation of existing sales, we estimate the base sales tax will reach $52.9 million in 2029, with Measure S generating $37.0 million. In terms of annual percentage growth in this revenue, this projection is actually slightly below the City's five year projection, which is assumed to grow 4% per year between FY 21-22 and FY 23-24, compared to an average of 3.7% per year. Transient Occupancy Tax: the City receives a tax of 8% on room revenues at lodging in the City. According to Smith Travel Research (STR), the City had an inventory of about 1,590 rooms in 2018, which were projected to generate TOT revenues of $3.34 million in 2019. This is equivalent to revenue per available room night of about $93.00, which is also consistent with STR records. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 157 Section FIVE: Funding and Implementation Since the year 2000, Temecula has added new hotel rooms at an average annual rate of 4.3 percent. Based on this growth rate, it could support an additional 1,000 rooms between 2019 and 2029. The City already has 729 new rooms in the planning pipeline. Based on this projection and 1% annual inflation in average daily room rates, we estimate TOT revenues could increase to $5.66 million by 2029, an average increase of about 5.4% per year. This is higher than the City forecast of about 3% per year. Measure C: This is a parcel tax shared equally by the City and the Temecula Community Services District (TCSD) which uses the funds to support the parks and recreation programs. The annual assessment is set at $74.44 with no annual escalator. The growth in revenue is due to projected housing growth. The assessment revenue is projected to increase from $1,880,013 in FY 2018 to $2,036,592 in 2029, an increase of more than $156,000, or 0.8% per year. Quimby Act: The City levies an in -lieu fee for park land acquisition. Developers have the option of dedicating land to the City rather than pay the fee, but the calculations discussed here assume the fees are paid in lieu of any land dedications. The fee rate is scaled to the household size of each housing unit type and the equivalent of 5 acres per 1,000 population is required. Based on the mix of new unit development types the City has seen since 2010, the average household size (based on the scale within the Quimby program) is estimated at 2.95 persons and the fee is calculated at $4,514 per unit. At this rate, the projected 4,310 new dwelling units would generate $19.4 million for park acquisition and development by 2029. 5.4 POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES BY FACILITY TYPE A summary of the various funding sources for the most appropriate project type is presented in Exhibit 5.4-1. The City should look at developing new sources beyond those currently in use. Funding needs can be satisfied for each improvement through a variety of potential sources as indicated on Exhibit 5.4-1. The specific funding source to be considered will depend partly on the timing of the development and the funding sources which may be available or which are more easily pursued at that time. For major improvements which include such facilities as community centers, gymnasiums, senior centers, teen centers, ball field complexes, etc., the use of a fundraising effort to be conducted on behalf of a City's non-profit foundation could be beneficial. Sponsorships/ naming rights for major corporate or other private donors can be offered. In some cases, the use of a professional fundraising firm should be considered once a facility or project for which the funding will be used is identified. Other sources of funding for such projects could include public/private partnerships, partnerships with private sector through website advertising, user group contributions, joint use with the School District and public or private grants. Use of bonds, sales tax increase, or special districts require a vote by the residents and have been used successfully in some California communities. The recent Measure S is a great example of a successful funding project. The specific facilities and improvements to be paid for need to be identified and a public relations effort 158 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FIVE: Funding and Implementation is required to enlist the support of the electorate. The greater the demand and recognition of the need by the public, the greater will be the chance of success.

Funding needs can be satisfied for each improvement through a variety of potential sources as indicated on Exhibit 5.6- 1 and that funding should include both capital costs and ongoing operations and maintenance. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 169 Section FIVE: Funding and Implementation The National Park and Recreation Administration 2018 NRPA Agency Performance Review, found that nationwide, the median level operating expenditures for operations and maintenance was $6,589 per acre of parkland. The typical operating expenditure rises with population density. Agencies serving a jurisdiction with fewer than 500 people per square mile spend $3,673 per acre of parkland, rising to a median of $1 1,813 per acre for agencies serving a jurisdiction with a population density greater than 2,500 per square mile. For cities of Temecula's size, the average cost per acre of parkland ranged from $5,372 to $28,165 per acre with a median of $1 1,813. With the establishment of the Community Services District and passage of Measure S the City of Temecula is above the median at $12,720 per acre (Public Works parks maintenance budget divided by 320.61 acres of parkland). Exhibit 5.8-1 identifies new park development projects of approximately 100.47 acres. To maintain these new park parcels, Temecula would need to find funding for approximately $13,000 per acre to maintain the new parkland at current service level, or $1.3 million annually. Specific recommendations for the City of Temecula include: Addition of Measure C Inflator The Community Services Department receives funding through Measure C, a Special Tax approved by residents in 1997. This measure created the Temecula Community Services District (TCSD), a separate governmental entity whose purpose is to provide Parks and Recreation services as well as the maintenance of parks and facilities, residential street lights, slopes, refuse and recycling, maintenance of rural roads, lake park maintenance, library services, and intern fellowship opportunities. The tax is charged to households at the rate of $74.44 and is allocated equally between TCSD and the General Fund to fund both recreation programs and parks maintenance. Measure C revenue is basically static due to the fact that an inflator allowing for annual adjustments was not included in the measure. Thus the $74.44 collected per parcel in 1997 has remained unchanged over the past 23 years. For FY 16/17 Measure C generated $1,858,841 in revenue increasing by just $17,439 over the next two fiscal years. This past year, the Public Works Department conducted votes to add an inflator on Temecula Community Services District Service Level C, Zones 1, 4, 7, 10, 11, 14, 15, 17, 22 and 27. These zones were originally set up without an inflator. Today funding for service operation and maintenance of landscaped areas and slopes within public right-of-ways and easements has become insufficient. The vote by all zones was against the addition of the inflator. Without the addition of an inflator, many of these zones will be unable to maintain the existing service levels and will need to reduce the level of maintenance. Alternatively, without the addition of an inflator, the Community Services District will continue to rely on additional General Fund and Measure S support to maintain the current level of service. 170 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FIVE: Funding and Implementation Institute Special Revenue Budget for Recreation Programming In the periodic budget process that every municipality goes through, there are negotiations for the level of general fund support. The general fund pays for usual and on -going municipal expenses that are generally not supported by a stream of revenue. The Recreation budget, comprised of contract classes, classes/activities, facility rentals, aquatics, museum, theater, sports league reservations, sports league tournaments, and day camps has a revenue rate, a comparison of expenditures to revenue, which has ranged from 21 % to nearly 24%. This means that one -quarter of this budget unit is covered by generated revenue. These units could easily be moved out of the general fund, with a negotiated general fund contribution, and placed into a special revenue fund. This type of revenue fund is often established to finance and operate dedicated budgets with a significant revenue stream and those funds can only be used for that specific program. Recreation, parks, and libraries are commonly operated in this fashion. Special revenue funds provide an extra level of accountability and transparency to taxpayers that their tax dollars will go toward an intended purpose. There are many advantages to these types of funds including an emphasis on revenue generation, cost management, and the ability to budget remaining funds in future years for specific capital project and/or new program development. Establishment of a Fee Policy Fees and charges are necessary to provide financial support for the operation and maintenance of programs, facilities, and park grounds. The revenue generated by these fees constitutes only a portion of funds required for operating and maintaining the entire park system. The purpose of this policy would be to provide a framework and guidance to staff as they develop ideas and proposals for fees and charges and to be used by decision -makers to help ensure fees and charges are developed and implemented in a consistent and equitable manner. Temecula should establish a system of fees and charges that recognizes most programs and facilities provide general benefit to the community and thus supported by the general fund. Programs and facilities that provide greater benefit to the community will be provided a higher level of contribution from public funding sources. Programs and facilities that provide greater benefit to individuals (and have less general community benefit) will be provided a lower level of contribution from public funding sources and are expected to recover a higher share of the cost of the program or facility through fees and charges. Further, general cost recovery guidelines should be established for programs for which fees and charges are collected. Naming Rights Actively search for contributions from corporations and businesses to acquire naming or licensing rights from the City to advertise their name/product, in light of the proposed development of new public facilities. This practice has several different levels and can include the naming of buildings, advertising on public property, or license rights to the agency's name and other intellectual property. City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan 171 Section FIVE: Funding and Implementation Prioritize Temecula Community Foundation Prioritize support and development of a Temecula Community Foundation "501 c3,' organization to a fully functioning organization. The primary mission of a Foundation should be based on: To aid, sponsor, promote, advance and assist in the provision of public parks, recreation and community services in the Temecula Area. • To receive, invest, and manage funds acquired through dues, donations, grants, gifts, bequests, and solicitations in furtherance of the purposes and goals of the City. The specific facilities and improvements to be paid for are identified within this Master Plan and a public relations effort is required to enlist the support of the electorate. The greater the demand and recognition of the need by the public, the greater will be the chance of success. Transient Occupancy Tax In many communities Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) is the primary mechanism for funding arts & culture venues and activities, as they are regarded as important drivers of visitors to a city. The current TOT rate in Temecula is 8%. Most surrounding cities and unincorporated Riverside County and San Diego County are currently at 10%, so a TOT increase to 10% would not put them at a competitive disadvantage. Typically, TOT rate is not a factor in most visitors' choice on accommodations. For Fiscal Year 18/19 the City projected $3.5 million in TOT revenue, based upon $44 million in revenue from local hotels and room rentals. It appears that half of that is allocated to the Visit Temecula Valley ($1.7M), which promotes tourism, and the City retains the other half for its General Fund. If Temecula were to raise its TOT to 10%, that would increase its TOT collection by $900,000 annually. Other Conduct a Nexus Study on park and trail development costs for new residential development. New development in the City will create the demand for additional park and recreation facilities to serve future residents. A Park Development Impact Fee program will provide funding for the construction of park and recreation facilities to serve future development in accordance with the policies and goals set forth in the Community Services Master Plan. The purpose of Park Development Impact Fees are to fund park and recreation facilities in accordance with the level of service prescribed in the Master Plan and General Plan to serve future residents within the City. The Nexus Study should also include a recommended procedure to review these fees annually, tied to an acceptable real estate and construction cost index as appropriate, so that they would be automatically adjusted annually. With the projections of 400 to 440 new residential units each year, the City could achieve revenue for new park development in excess of $4-5 million. 172 City of Temecula • Community Services Master Plan Section FIVE: Funding and Implementation 5.10 CONCLUSION The funding projections in this plan are predicated on "normal" economic conditions and the growth in new development planned at the end of 2019. The analysis indicates that even under the relatively robust economic conditions at that time, there are significant deficiencies in the City's funding sources for planned parks and recreation improvements as well as expected increases in operations and maintenance costs. A number of the recommendations in this chapter, such as those to add inflation escalations to existing fees and assessments, to create special revenue budget categories to better track dedicated recreation revenues and to add park development impact fees alongside existing Quimby Act fees, would all have the effect of helping to further strengthen parks and recreation funding separate from the General Fund. As of April 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic is having a significant adverse impact not only on the health of the community but also on economic conditions. Preliminary projections suggest that by May 2020, the State of California will see an unemployment rate of 18.8 percent, compared to about 4 percent a few months ago While state health officials are hopeful that Covid-19 cases may peak and begin to decline in May, it is not clear how soon the economy can begin to recover due to the ongoing need for social distancing procedures until widespread testing is available or a vaccine can be developed. The loss of household income and business activity will directly affect City revenues, particularly sales taxes and transient occupancy taxes, which are included in the financial projections in this Master Plan. These two revenues alone make up more than half of City General Fund revenues. While the Community Services Department is not currently funded through the General Fund, the Measure S Fund is a sales tax which comprises nearly 17 percent of total City revenues and has been heavily used to fund parks and recreation expenditures. Gas tax revenues will also be heavily impacted, possibly leading to the need to shift General Fund revenues or reserves to fund street maintenance costs. Further, the pace of new housing development, upon which the growth of future tax and impact fee revenues is based, will slow in 2020, although it is too early to tell what the longer term effects on housing demand will be. These circumstances underscore the need for the City to consider ways to strengthen and expand its park and recreation funding sources for long term sustainability. It is certainly difficult to legislate revenue increases during times of economic distress such as the present. However, as economic conditions begin to recover, adoption of the funding recommendations in the TCSMP would help to buffer Community Services from future economic downturns. 1 "Estimated Employment Impacts of COVID-19 on Northern California," Eberhardt School of Business, Center for Business & Policy Research, University of the Pacific.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Ladies and Gentlemen, Staff, and council members. My name is Adam Light and I am the President of Neighborhood Drop In a local non-profit. Over the past year I have had the pleasure of meeting and discussing with you the importance of action sports and action sports facilities to our community. While no decisions regarding vacant land will be made at this meeting, I believe it is a great opportunity to explore the options of skateparks and skate spots. These facilities come in different sizes and shapes that suit the environment around them. They are sustainable, drought resistant, promote active lifestyle and are all inclusive. There are many contractors the can design and construct these facilities and they have a way of incorporating local themes and esthetically pleasing architecture. I believe we have many amazing opportunities for our city and I am very excited to see what our future holds. Thank you for your time and consideration.
