AGENDA REPORT

FROM:
Community Services Commission
---~,Herman D. Parker, Director of Community Services
DATE: April 12, 1999
SUBJECT:
Campos Verdes Park Conceptual Master Plan and Selection of a Park Name
PREPARED BY: (:~Todd Holmes, Development Services Administrator
RECOMMENDATION:
1. That the Community Services Commission receive and file a report on the Campos Verdes
Park Conceptual Master Plan.
2. That the Community Services Commission select a name for the Campos Verdes Park.
DISCUSSION:
The Campos Verdes Development is conditioned to construct a 3.15 acre neighborhood park
for dedication to the City. This development is located in the northern portion of the City near
the intersection of Winchester Road and Margarita Road (see attached vicinity map). The City
Council approved Campos Verdes Specific Plan Amendment Number One on March 23, 1999.
Completion of the park will be required at the 78t" building permit. If the project moves forward
as planned, the park should be dedicated in about 18 to 24 months.
The attached conceptual site plan describes the park amenities. This park has been
designed primarily for passive recreational activities and is intended for use by residents
who live near the park. The proposed improvements include a small parking lot, picnic
tables and shelters, bar-b-ques, a concrete walk around the perimeter of the park and
security lighting. The park will also feature two play structures; one for ages 2-5 and
another for 5-12 year-olds. To facilitate use by disabled individuals, the play equipment, as
well as the overall park, will be fully compliant with the provisions of California State Title
24 and the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The park will also be
landscaped with trees, shrubs and turf. The conceptual plan shows a 195' x 330' soccer
field overlay. This field is intended for practice and informal games only. The James L. Day
Middle School is located directly across the street from this park. A joint use agreement
with the Temecula Valley Unified School District is pending which would allow joint use of
8.7 acres of sports fields at the school.
Temecula Community Services District Resolution 92-08 established a policy for the naming
of parks and recreational facilities (please see attachment). In accordance with this policy, a
list of recommended names for future parks was prepared last year (attached). The
Meadowview area to the east has equestrian usage so an equestrian name from the list
might be appropriate. In addition to the list of names, staff would also suggest that the
names "Campos Verdes Park" and "General Kearney Park" be considered. The Commission
may wish to consider a name other than the listed choices. The recommended name will be
brought forward to the Board of Directors for review and ratification.

Museum Construction and Exhibit Design Update
PREPARED BY: ~-~r~hyllis L. Ruse, Deputy Director of Community Services
RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission receive and file a report
on the status update of the museum construction and exhibit design.
BACKGROUND: Construction of the Temecula Valley Museum is continuing. The tile
entry in the rotunda and gift shop areas has been installed. The hardscape entry way in completed
with handrails yet to be installed. The cabinetry work is neadng completion and work for the elevator
has begun. Extedor landscaping is also underway. The contractor, electrician and exhibit designers
are working together to develop a flexible lighting plan for installation of the track lighting system. The
carpeting has been delivered to the site and will be one of the last items installed. Staff antidpates
completion of the construction phase of this project in May, 1999.
Staff has negotiated with the Temecula Valley Museum and Tony Tobin for the purchase of some
of their artifacts for use in exhibits for the museum. Staff anticipates having a finalized agreement
to present to the City Council for approval in April, 1999. This will allow the City to inventory, catalog,
care for, and use the artifacts in permanent exhibits.
Think Jacobson and Roth, the exhibit design consultant, is working with the project committee to
determine the stories to be told by the museum exhibits and displays. The consultants are currently
working with the artifacts themselves to inventory what is available and to determine how best they
may be used to narrate the rich history and heritage of the Temecula valley.
At the last project committee meeting held on February 24, 1999, the consultants presented
preliminary drawings showing proposed story lines and some conceptual exhibits that might help tell
those stories. The committee also discussed the desirability of capturing video and audio interviews
with community members who would share their memories and stories of a younger Temecula
valley. These resources would be archived and shared with the library for those interested in
historical research.
On March 23, 1999, the City Council considered and approved the Community Services
Commission's recommendation that the rotunda area be named after Tony and Mildred Tobin to
honor and thank them for their contribution to the community. An appropriate display to so recognize
the Tobins will be included as part of the overall design of the museum rotunda.

Annexation Status Repod
PREPARED BY:
:~')~"Phyllis L. Ruse, Deputy Director of Community Services
RECOMMENDATION: That the Community Services Commission receive and file a report on
the status of the proposed annexation of Vail Ranch and Redhawk.
BACKGROUND: In August, 1998, the City of Temecula filed an application with the Local
Area Formation Commission (LAFCO) to annex the Redhawk and Vail Ranch Specific Plan areas into
the City. This action was in response to the request of the residents of the proposed annexation area.
Upon receipt of the odginal request from the residents, the City conducted a survey of the residents
in that area to determine their desire to annex to the City. Staff also completed a lengthy analysis on
the feasibility of annexation, including a study on the impact on the Community Services District (TCSD)
for services and maintenance and the related rates and charges applicable to provide those services
to the annexed area.
In June, 1998, City staff members conducted four workshops in both Redhawk and Vail Ranch to
present information and answer questions from the residents. On December 10, 1998, LAFCO
approved the application and the City proceeded with the annexation process. The next step was to
notice property owners in the proposed annexation area and set a Public Hearing to allow public
testimony of interested parties and provide for a protest to the action. Staff again conducted workshops
in Vail Ranch and Redhawk on March 15 and 18, 1999, respectively.
On March 23, 1999, the City Council conducted the Public Hearing. The City received one written
protest to the action. Three residents from the annexation area spoke in favor of the proceeding. The
next step will be for the City Council to call for an election to be conducted on November 2, 1999 to
consider the question of annexation to the City and the Community Services District and to consider the
imposition of the TCSD Special Tax and Rates and Charges. The election will be structured so that
Redhawk and Vail Ranch will vote individually on the Rate and Charges that effect their respective
developments. Both areas must approve the Special Tax and the Rates and Charges by a 2/3 super
majority in order for the annexation to be successful. If the annexation is successful, it will become
effective on July 1, 2000. The increase to the City's population is estimated at 8,000.
Upon successful annexation, the TCSD would become responsible for the services currently provided
to the annexation area by the County through CSA 143. These services included parks, median and
exterior slope maintenance, street lighting, trash and recycling services and recreational services. The
TCSD would assume responsibility for 36.5 acres of developed parkland. This is comprised of one 1.6
acre park and one 14.9 acre park in Redhawk and one 3.2 acre park, one 2.2 acre park and one 14.6
acre park in Vail Ranch. The TCSD would also assume responsibility for approximately 1,764,000 and
1,269,000 square feet of slopes and medians in Redhawk and Vail Ranch, respectively.
\\TEMEC_FS201 \DATA\DEPTS\CSD\RUSEP~AGEN DAShannexation status - csc.doc
Each parcel within the annexed area would pay the TCSD's Special Tax as it is levied against each
assessable parcel currently within the City of Temecula. The maximum rate at which this tax may be
levied is $74.44 per year per equivalent dwelling unit (EDU). The rate was levied at $68.44 per EDU
for FY 1998/99. TCSD Rates and Charges would also be levied against those improved parcels which
receive service within each development area. The maximum proposed Special Tax and Rates and
Charges for each area are shown below.

It is the Cit,/s intention to conduct more community workshops pdor to the election in November in order
to continue to provide information to the public about the process and to answer any questions that they
might have. Staff will also continue to be available by phone or in the office to answer individual
questions about annexation.
