ITEM TITLE: Consideration of an Adopt -A -Park Program
STUDY SESSION:
PUBLIC HEARING:
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend the Adopt -A -Park Program to the City Council.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW:
The Adopt -A -Park Program has been developed for groups or individuals who have
vested interest in specific parks and want to contribute to the quality of public
facilities.
Currently, there are volunteer groups who have been working with the Community
Services Department to provide such services. These groups include, The Cove
Neighborhood Association, The Stewards of the Fred Wolff Nature Preserve, The
MOMS Club, church groups, and individuals interested in the City's dog parks. To
date, there has not been a program in place to specify the services being provided and
to give recognition to the groups and individuals for their volunteer services.
Staff has developed this Adopt -A -Park Program to both track the services as well as
provide recognition.
This is not a revitalization program like some other cities have developed. The City has
always taken pride in the parks and facilities. Because these facilities are well
maintained, they have become desired quality of life amenities that are also enjoyed by
residents from other cities. During these economic times, the City welcomes groups
and individuals with civic pride who are willing to volunteer their time, services, and
money to continue to provide this level of service to our community.

Staff is seeking comments and a recommendation from the Community Services
Commission to be presented to the City Council for final approval and adoption.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Recommend the Adopt -A -Park Program to the City Council; or
2. ' Do not recommend the Adopt -A -Park Program to the City Council; or

ITEM TITLE: Discussion of the Open Space and Parks and
Recreation Elements from the 2035 General Plan Update
BACKGROUND:
AGENDA CATEGORY:
BUSINESS SESSION:
CONSENT CALENDAR:
STUDY SESSION: I
PUBLIC HEARING:
As part of the Annual Work Plan, Les Johnson, Planning Director and Andy Mogensen,
Principal Planner, have been asked to present the draft Parks, Recreation and Trails and
the Open Space and Conservation Elements of the 2035 General Plan.
OVERVIEW -
The General Plan is a comprehensive policy document which serves as a blueprint for
all of La Quinta and its annexable areas referred to as the Sphere of Influence (SOI).
The General Plan functions as both a legal document and a guide for decision -making.
The goals, policies, and programs identified within the General Plan document are
shaped by both community interests and State law.
State law mandates that every city and county in California adopt a comprehensive,
long-term general plan. The law also identifies specific topics which general plans
must address, such as the location and distribution of parks and recreational facilities,
and whether such facilities are adequate.
Each component of the General Plan, called an "element," focuses on a specific topic.
The La Quinta General Plan will contain five themed chapters that are further divided
up into a number of different elements. These elements include Land Use, Traffic and
Circulation, Housing, Sustainable Community, Parks and Recreation, Open Space
Natural Resources, Economic Development, Noise, and Public Safety. Each element
identifies goals, policies, and programs that affect how decisions and development are
made in the City. The Parks and Recreation and Open Space elements, for example,
contain many of the goals, policies, and programs that relate to Community Services.
As the guiding blueprint of the City, the General Plan must be more broad and
comprehensive than other adopted plans or policy documents, such as the Community
Services Master Plan. Virtually every ordinance, plan, or project approved by the City
is required to conform to the General Plan. For example, the General Plan includes
13
policies to provide adequate parkland and a land use map that identifies designated
parkland areas. The Community Services Master Plan then details and expands upon
the General Plan by identifying what kind of programs or amenities should be offered in
those parks.
UNDERSTANDING THE ELEMENTS:
Each of the General Plan elements begins with a section identifying their purpose and
any pertinent legal requirements or findings that must be identified within the element.
This is typically followed by a discussion of the available facilities or resources
associated with that particular element. For example, the Parks and Recreation
Element identifies all of the parks and recreational facilities in La Quinta. The element
includes a section of policy and program discussion followed by projections and/or
discussion of what will be needed in the future. Each element concludes with a
statement of the goals, policies and programs to be implemented.
OPEN SPACE ELEMENT:
Open space is defined as "any parcel or area of land or water which is essentially
unimproved and devoted to an open space use." Open space can be for recreational
use, habitat conservation, flood control, agriculture, resource extraction (such as
mining), or simply just lands left undeveloped. The .City has 18.2 square miles of
Natural Open Space lands within the City limits and Sphere of Influence, mostly
located along the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains.
The 2035 General Plan divides open space into two different categories, Recreational
Open Space (OSR) and Natural Open Space (OSN). Natural Open Space is designated
for uses such as habitat conservation, flood control and agriculture, but can also serve
a recreational purpose, such as with the Fred Wolff Bear Creek Nature Preserve and
the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto National Monument. Recreational Open Space consists
of those areas which have been developed into parks, playfields, and golf courses.
The Open Space Element contains goals, policies, and programs which are intended to
promote and enhance existing resources and prevent development which could
adversely affect mountain views and natural habitat.
PARKS AND RECREATION ELEMENT:
The Parks and Recreation Element describes the existing parks and recreational
facilities, identifies the current and projected demand for parks as the City and its
Sphere of Influence grow, and establishes the goals, policies and programs needed to
allow the City to continue to provide a full range of recreational amenities and services
to its residents and businesses.
The City and its Sphere of Influence contain approximately 1,062 acres of developed
parkland. When combined with public and private golf courses, this number increases
approximately 5,589 acres.
14
The Parks and Recreation Element includes a discussion of the role of the Community
Services Master Plan, the City's Healthy Eating Active Living Campaign (HEAL), the
importance of trails and connectivity, and identifies the projected need for additional
parkland as the City's population grows. The element also features goals, policies, and
programs that encourage access to parks, walkability, the consumption of healthy
foods, access to farmer's markets, safe routes to schools, and interconnectivity to
recreational facilities in adjacent cities.
THE ROLE OF THE GENERAL PLAN IN COMMUNITY HEALTH AND WELL-BEING:
There are a number of goals, policies and programs throughout the General Plan which
play a positive role in community health, recreation, and well-being. For example, the
Traffic and Circulation Element will identify La Quinta's network of bicycle lanes, golf
cart routes, and multi -purpose paths (commonly referred to as complete streets). The
system of multi -purpose paths are intended to be shared by all users, including
walkers, bicyclists, and equestrian riders, for both transportation and recreational
purposes. The Land Use Element will identify provisions for accommodating walkable
mixed -use and transit -oriented developments. The Sustainable Community Element
will provide direction for the conservation of air and water resources, and the reduction
of energy use and vehicle trips. The entire General Plan will contain principles that
contribute to the City's interest in healthy and active living, in terms of land use,
recreation, transportation, and conservation.
CONCLUSION:
This study session review is provided to inform the Community Services Commission
of the challenges and solutions and to reaffirm that the update is proceeding in a
direction consistent with their vision for the City.
Staff is currently proceeding with the finalization of the General Plan document,
including the General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR). It is expected that the
draft General Plan and General Plan EIR will be ready for public review and comment
on July 6, 2012 and that public hearings before the Planning Commission and City
Council will occur in September. The General Plan EIR will be released for a 45-day
public comment period, during which Staff plans to conduct an additional community
outreach meeting in order to present the draft General Plan and EIR to the City's
residents and businesses.

PARKS, RECREATION AND TRAILS
Public parks, recreational programs, and sports facilities are vital
components of a healthy and successful community. The City of La
Quinta recognizes the connection between public health and the built
environment, understanding that access to enjoyable and well -
maintained public parks and recreational opportunities are vital to the
health and well-being of its citizens.
The Parks and Recreation Element provides descriptions of existing
parks and recreational facilities, identifies the current and projected
demand for parks as the City and its Sphere of Influence grow, and
establishes the goals, policies and programs which allow the City to
continue to provide a full range of recreational amenities and services
to its residents and businesses.
Government Code Sections 65103(c) and 65302(a) both address the
need to include parks and recreational facilities in the General Plan. The
former requires that all cities annually review capital improvement
needs for consistency with the General Plan. The latter requires that
the General Plan discuss the location and distribution of parks and
recreational facilities, and whether such facilities are adequate.
Government Code Sections 66477 and 66479 enable local
governments to require park site dedications, or fees in lieu of
dedication, as conditions of tract or parcel map approval. Recreational
land uses are included in the description of land use elements in
Section 65302(a). Trail designations are also required as part of Section
5076 of the Public Resources Code.

public with opportunities that include organized sports, classes,
excursions, and special events. The department also oversees the
City's numerous parks and rental facilities, the SilverRock Resort, the
Senior Center, the Fitness Center, the La Quinta Library, and the La
Quinta Museum.
PARKS PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION TOOLS
La Quinta's Community Services Master Plan serves as an important
tool for short to mid-term parks and recreation planning and decision
making. The five-year plan monitors and surveys public needs and
current service levels, and in turn provides service recommendations
for implementation. The plan conducts a community needs survey,
details an inventory of existing services and facilities, and presents a
comparison to standardized state and national benchmarks.
HEALTHY EATING ACTIVE LIVING CAMPAIGN
On February 16, 2010, the La Quinta City Council passed Resolution
2010-013, declaring a commitment to improve and encourage
community health and wellness through the Healthy Eating Active
Living campaign sponsored by the California Center for Public Health
Advocacy. This commitment includes the promotion of policies to help
shape the built environment so that it encourages walking, biking,
hiking and other forms of physical activity and provides pedestrian
connectivity between parks, schools, retail businesses and residential
areas. This initiative also includes supporting access to health and
fitness facilities such as the La Quinta Fitness Center, promoting
healthy eating through farmers markets and community gardening,
and encouraging higher nutrition standards at public concessions.
TRAILS AND CONNECTIVITY
In La Quinta, trails are valued as both a recreational amenity and as a
mode of transportation. In a survey of residents conducted for the
2007 Community Services Master Plan, recreational trails were
identified as being among the highest -ranked amenities desired by the
public 7 The City's multi -purpose trails network, public sidewalks, and
bicycle routes serve as an important link between City parks and
residential areas. While these linkages have been provided in various
parts of the community, their design and construction has been
inconsistent, disjointed, and unconnected. In future development,
7 2007 Community Service Master Plan, P.95
PARKS, RECREATION AND TRAILS
20
EI-211
emphasis should be given to providing complete and consistent
linkages between residential and recreational areas.
CURRENT FACILITIES
Residents of the City of La Quinta currently have access to 66 acres of
City -owned parks,147 acres of City -owned recreational open space and
nature preserves, 852 acres of regional parks, a 546 acre municipal golf
course, and numerous indoor and outdoor public recreational facilities.
La Quinta's total recreational open space is approximately 5,589 acres.
Under the established Quimby Act standard of 5.o acres per 1,000
residents, the City of La Quinta well exceeds its level of service,
estimated at 6.7 acres of recreational open space per 1,000 residents
for a 2010 population of 37,467 residents (California Department of
Finance).
FUTURE BUILDOUT NEEDS
The General Plan land use scenario is anticipated to result in a total
build -out population of about 134,352 in the City and its Sphere of
Influence. This population growth will increase the demand for parks
and recreation facilities. Quimby Act standards can be used to
determine the number of neighborhood and community park acres
needed to adequately serve the build -out population. The Quimby Act
allows local governments to exact from developers of residential
subdivisions, through the dedication of parkland or in -lieu fees, or
both, and establishes a minimum standard of 3.o acres of parkland per
i,000 population. When this standard is applied to the estimated
General Plan build -out population, a total of 403 acres of
neighborhood and community parks will be required to adequately
serve the City (239.9 acres) and its Sphere of Influence (163.1 acres).
The continued growth of the City will require the expansion of
recreational facilities to serve the City's expanding population. It is
important that the City plan for this future need, to assure that the
City's services are adequate at all times to serve its population, its
visitors and its businesses. This will include a need to build new City
parks and provide additional staff. The City's Community Services
Master Plan will play a key role in planning for future facilities. By
regularly updating the Community Services Master Plan, the City will

OPEN SPACE AND CONSERVATION
I9N1017•���
Some of La Quinta's greatest assets are its scenic mountain vistas and
wilderness areas. The Open Space Element helps to protect these and
other assets by designating policies and programs for their
management and conservation. These policies and programs are
designed to discourage the premature or inappropriate conversion of
open space land to more intense land uses. They are intended to
assure the long-term viability of open space lands for resource
conservation, public health and safety, recreation, and scenic
enjoyment.
Government Code Section 6556o(b) defines open space as "any parcel
or area of land or water which is essentially unimproved and devoted to
an open -space. use." These lands typically include rivers, streams,
managed agricultural lands, mineral resources, parks and recreational
lands, and lands dedicated for the preservation of biological or other
natural resources.
Government Code Section 65302(d) requires that General Plans include
elements which address resource conservation and designate lands for
preservation. Government Code Section 65566, also referred to as the
Open Space Lands Act, requires local governments to prepare open
space plans before adopting open space zoning ordinances. This
helps to assure that open space zoning regulations are
consistent with open space plans.

Because the Open Space Element addresses a broad range of issues, its
policies and programs are interwoven with many other General Plan
elements, including Sustainability, Land Use, Parks and Recreation,
Circulation, Biological Resources, and Environmental Hazards. In
addition, the Open Space Element complements the Coachella Valley
Multi -Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) by providing
protection for lands which may be identified as containing important
wildlife habitat.
Open Space Resources
Undeveloped open space areas located along the Santa Rosa and San
Jacinto Mountains and their foothills constitute about half of the
valuable biological, recreational, and scenic resources enjoyed by
residents and visitors in the City of La quinta, with the remainder
generally consisting of the City's storm water management system,
public and private golf courses, public parks, and related areas.
Approximately 18.2 square miles of open space land are identified
within the General Plan Land Use Map.
Open Space for the Preservation of Natural Resources
About half of the lands dedicated for open space in La quinta have
been set aside for the preservation of natural resources. Most of this
area is located within the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Conservation
Area, is protected through a deed restriction, or has development
limitations under the MSHCP. About 84% of the City's General Plan
area located within the MSHCP conservation boundary is currently

designated as open space, with the remainder identified as low density
residential s
In the southwestern portion of La Quinta, the Coachella Valley Multi -
Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) has identified most of the
Low Density Residential parcels located within Section 5, Township 7S,
Range 7E for preservation and habitat acquisition. This undeveloped
section of the City, which contains the only residentially -designated
lands located within the MSHCP conservation boundary, generally
consists of Sonoran Creosote Bush Scrub and provides valuable habitat
for special status species, such as Burrowing Owl and Peninsular
Bighorn Sheep, as identified in the Biological Resources Element. The
MSHCP permits these lands, if not acquired by a conservation agency,
to develop up to ioq, while the balance of the parcel must be
preserved in its natural condition.9 Approximately 105 acres of land
within Section 5 has been acquired for the preservation of natural
resources by local and state conservation agencies.
Open Space for the Managed Production of Resources
La Quinta's open space element also designates lands for the managed
production of resources. The Sphere of Influence primarily contains
agricultural lands and has the potential for additional properties to be
set aside in the future for the managed production of resources.
Approximately 582 acres of land, all located within the City's Sphere of
Influence, have been set aside for farmland conservation under the
Williamson Act provisions. Officially titled the California Land
Conservation Act of 1965, the Williamson Act provides property tax
relief to owners of farmland and open -space land in exchange for a
ten-year agreement that the land will not be developed or otherwise
converted to another use. There are no active or permitted quarries
identified within the General Plan area.

The remaining areas in the City
generally consist of land set
aside for Recreational Open
Space, such as City and regional
parks and golf courses. The City
of La Quinta operates ti parks
and shares two sports facilities
with Desert Sands Unified
School District. The City also
contains two regional parks. The

portion of the City, is managed by the Riverside County Parks
Department.
In addition to City Parks, the City of La Quinta holds 146.7 acres of open
space land dedicated for the joint purpose of conservation and
recreation. These areas include the 27.9 acre Fred Wolff Bear Creek
Nature Preserve, the 114 acre Cove Oasis Trailhead, and the 4.75 acre
Bear Creek Trail. These areas provide an urban buffer and a trail
connection between the City and the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto
National Monument.
As La Quinta is a well-known golfing destination, there are 23 public
and private golf courses located within the City, most of which are
located within residential areas. La Quinta has one municipal golf
course, SilverRock Resort, and another seven private golf courses
available for public play. All golf courses are identified as open space in
the General Plan's land use map.
Open Space for Public Health and Safety
Due to La Quinta's' geographical setting at the foot of the Santa Rosa
and San Jacinto Mountains, some properties are undevelopable due to
engineering and safety limitations, or have been designated for the
purposes of flood control and storm water conveyance. These lands
have been set aside as open space dedicated to protect public health
and safety.
All lands having a twenty percent slope or greater have been
designated as open space in, order to protect the public from hazards

associated with hillside development, including seismic activity,
landslides, flooding, inaccessibility for fire and emergency services, lack
of water for fire control, wildfires, collapse of roads and similar risks.
About 6% of the open space lands designated within La Quinta have
specifically been dedicated for purposes of flood control and water.
These areas are connected to a regional conveyance system managed
by the Coachella Valley Water District, and include the Coachella Valley
Stormwater Channel, the La Quinta Evacuation Channel, the All -
American Canal, the Upper Bear Creek Drainage System, the Lake
Cahuilla Reservoir, and the East La Quinta Channel.
The General Plan land use map is anticipated to result in a potential
build -out population of about 134,352 in the City and its sphere of
influence. The General Plan accommodates this growth by identifying
11,653 acres (18.2 square miles) of total open space lands. Open Space
lands are divided into two categories on the General Plan land use
map, Recreational Open Space and Natural Open Space. Recreational
Open Space consists of public parks (698 acres) and golf courses
(4,891 acres), while Natural Open Space consists of wilderness and
natural resources (5,429 acres) and water and flood control facilities
(635 acres).
Thoughtful implementation of the General Plan, Development Code
and other regulatory mechanisms will be required to assure the long-
term preservation of open spaces. The City and other conservation
organizations can play an important role in acquiring federal and state
grants and other funding mechanisms for the purchase of conservation
easements and/or fee simple land ownership interests. The City also
has the opportunity to encourage residents and other agencies to
become involved in open space preservation. On -going efforts
between the City, Coachella Valley Association of Governments
(CVAG), Bureau of Land Management, National Forest Service,
adjoining communities, and private entities are necessary for the
continued conservation of local and regional open space resources.

Parks Activities Updates
For May 2012
City staff is developing an Adopt -A -Park Program for residents who have a
vested interest in City facilities and would like to assist for the benefit of the
community. Resident groups such as the Cove Neighborhood Association
and the Stewards of the Fred Wolff Nature Preserve are already involved in
the maintenance and clean-up of the parks, trails, and open space adjacent
to their community. After staff has completed a draft of the program, it will
be presented to the Community Services Commission for recommendations
to the City Council
A concrete pedestal has been built at the southwest corner of City Hall to be
the future location of the "Leader of the Pack" art piece that will be placed
there in honor of our late City Manager, Tom Genovese.
As a component of the City's Master Plan to develop and protect the Fred
Wolff Nature Preserve and the Bear Creek Trail, the City and the United
States Postal Service have coordinated efforts to relocate the mailboxes that
are located on portions of the park property along Avenida Montezuma. City
staff has relocated and replaced 25 mailboxes with new mailboxes made
from recycled plastic that was paid for through grant funding. Four residents
wanted to keep their current mailboxes, so staff relocated them to an
approved location, in front of their property.
On Friday, May 25, the valley experienced a severe wind storm. None of the
north parks were damaged, but there are many trees at the Bear Creek Trail
and Civic Center Campus that were either uprooted or damaged. Landscape
staff worked to, first address any trees that posed a safety risk. Some trees
that were not creating any hazards remained down for a few days before the
tree crew could arrive for removal.
