REPORT TO PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION

SUBJECT Review of Municipal Fee Schedule and Room Rental Rates Proposal

BACKGROUND As part of the Fiscal Year 2019/20 User Fee Study (Cost of Service), the City is reviewing and providing opportunities for additional public input on Phase II Community Room Rentals. User fees charged by local public agencies may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged. The Cost of Service Study identifies the full cost (direct and indirect) for staff and overhead associated with fee-supported services and the associated revenue gaps if less than full cost recovery is implemented as a policy. The analysis helps inform staffing levels, explore preferred service delivery models and highlights any opportunities to streamline fee schedules and/or eliminate outdated fees or inefficient practices. The Study also ensures compliance with State and local laws (e.g., Prop 218 and 26). During the current Study, inconsistencies were noted in facility rentals across various City Departments in the amount of fees charged, staffing levels, restrictions on room use, guidelines for food and beverage, and the categories/types of users. Council has also noted the interest from various community groups for free or lower cost facility rentals where feasible.

DISCUSSION The City contracted with Matrix Consulting Group to study facility rental fees. A working group of consultant and staff from Finance, Parks & Recreation, and Library Departments reviewed current room rental rates, trends and practices. In an effort to standardize rental fees and practices, rates were evaluated on two attributes--type of use and user group. The two main types of use are Meetings and Events. Meetings usually last up to three hours, have minimal participants, and are less dependent on amenities and location. Events are longer than three hours, have numerous attendees and require specific amenities and/or location. The City currently has 10 types of users, which were classified into various priority groups. These groups are not standardized across City departments and are cumbersome to administer and track. After study and discussion, it was determined that there are three primary types of Users which correspond to three priorities of service as follows:

· Priority 1 - Reciprocal / Affiliation: The City partners with a variety of organizations within the community for whom reciprocal services are provided, or with whom the City is affiliated. Examples of groups who fall into this category include: the Santa Clara Unified School District, West Valley / Mission College, Friends of the Library, and various youth organizations.

· Priority 2 - Resident: This group represents individual residents or businesses that reside within the City of Santa Clara. Examples of those who fall into this category include: members of the community who reside within City limits or businesses who maintain an office within City limits.

City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 5 Printed on 10/11/2019 powered by Legistar™ 19-1175 Agenda Date: 10/15/2019

· Priority 3 - Non-Resident: This group represents individuals or businesses that reside outside of the City of Santa Clara. This includes members of the community who live outside the City limits, and businesses who do not maintain an office within the City limits.

By condensing the current priorities and rental structures used by Parks & Recreation and incorporating affiliated and reciprocal agencies associated with the Library, the above user categories provide a more streamlined grouping of users, and better reflect how the City would like to provide low-cost rental facilities for community use.

The City is proposing a fee schedule which identifies the rooms available for rent by Department, the types of occasions (meeting or event), and the fee for each identified priority group. Varying levels of subsidy are proposed for the priority groups, based on use type. See Table 1 below.

Table 1 Use Type Meetings (Up to three hours) Events (Over three hours) User Type Priority 1 Priority 2 Priority 3 Priority Priority 2 Priority 3 1 Proposed Subsidy100% 100% 0% 100% 75% 0%

The following points highlight the changes proposed:

• Meeting Use: The City is proposing to not charge any room rental fees for Priority 1 (reciprocal / affiliation) or Priority 2 (residential) type users who wish to rent rooms for meetings which last up to three hours. Users who fall into the Priority 3 classification (non- residential) will be charged the full cost associated with room rentals.

• Event Use: The subsidy structure for events which would last over three hours, is similar to rates for meetings, where Priority 1 users will not be assessed a fee, and Priority 3 users will be assessed the full fee. Priority 2 users, however, will be assessed 25% of the full cost of the room rental.

The proposed rate subsidies only apply to unstaffed facility rentals. Any facility rentals that require city staff presence during the meeting or event would be subject to staff hourly rate charges.

Table 2 below outlines the proposed fee structure for room rentals, including use type availability, and hourly rate per user type (priority).

Each room available for rent is identified by the Department in charge of the rental, as well as the room’s location (Teen Center, Senior Center, etc.). Hourly rental rates are shown for each Priority group, broken out if an occasion is up to three hours (meeting) or over three hours (event). It should be noted that hourly rates for library technology staff and building attendants during open and closed hours are in addition to proposed room rental hourly rates. Library technology staff hourly rates are only charged if equipment setup is required for a meeting; and attendant hourly rates are only charged if City staff are required to be present during a rental. No discounts are being proposed for these rates based on priority user types.

Agenda • User Fee Study Overview • Background • Methodology • Proposed Fees • Next Steps

1 User Fee Study Legal Framework • User fees charged by local agencies “…may not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for which the fee is charged” • A user fee can be no more than necessary to cover the reasonable cost Overview • Identifies the full cost (direct and indirect) for staff and overhead associated with fee-supported services and associated revenue gaps • Ensures compliance with State and local laws (e.g., Prop 218 and 26) • Informs staffing levels and service delivery model • Streamlines fee schedules to eliminate outdated fees or ranges • Incorporates new fees and services

Background • Current inconsistencies across facility rentals • Room rental rates vary across facilities • Restrictions and guidelines for food and beverage differ • Types of users varied across City departments • Various community groups have expressed interest in lower to no cost facility rentals • Meetings

2 Methodology • A “bottom up” approach was employed, where time spent per unit of fee activity is determined for each position within a Department or program. • - Widely accepted • - Most defensible • Update fee schedules and structures • Calculate fully burdened hourly rates for each position • Establish time estimates by position for each service provided • Collect volume statistics to project workload and revenue impacts • Analyze the gaps between cost and revenue.

Library Policy Impacts • User Fee Study • Reviewed Library Guiding Principles, Parks & Recreation Facility Use Guidelines, and Other municipalities practices • Established shared definitions between Library and Parks & Recreation for the Municipal Fee Schedule • Priorities integrate with Library Meeting Room Policy • Applies to non-City functions and community rooms • Library Meeting Room Policy impact: • Library Community Room Rentals limited to 3 hours • Library Meeting Room Policy will point to Municipal Fee Schedule for other fees associated with room rentals and List Community rooms 6 available for Rent

REPORT TO PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION

SUBJECT Consideration of the Schematic Design for the New Public Neighborhood Park located at 1205 Coleman Avenue (Gateway Crossings).

BACKGROUND On July 9, 2019, the Santa Clara City Council approved the Hunter Storm Gateway Crossings mixed- use development (Project) located at 1205 Coleman Avenue. The Project encompasses approximately 21.4 acres and is bounded by Brokaw Road to the north, Coleman Avenue to the east, a parking lot and undeveloped land to the south, and a storage area and railroad tracks to the west. Most of the Project site is in the City of Santa Clara and is part of a larger 244-acre Santa Clara Station Focus Area in the City’s General Plan. The Santa Clara Station Focus Area will serve as a gateway into the City with office, hotel, retail, and high-density residential uses that maximizes the use of existing and planned transit and provides for improved pedestrian, bicycle, and transit connections.

The Project is approved to construct 1565 apartment units and will meet its parkland dedication requirements (SCCC 17.35) through an 87,725sf (2.01 acres) public neighborhood park (Phase I) and a 22,972sf mini park (Phase II). Both public parks will be dedicated to the City in fee title. Public park improvements will be constructed by the developer to the City’s design criteria and specifications and will be maintained by the developer after dedication.

DISCUSSION The proposed Schematic Design for the Public Neighborhood Park (Attachment 1) is 87,725sf (2.01 acres), features a natural grass play field, a basketball court, an enclosed off-leash dog area, play apparatus for children ages 2-5 and 6-12, benches, fitness stations, family picnic area with tables and BBQs, pathways, trees, and landscaping. The proposed Schematic Design has been reviewed by the Parks & Recreation Department and as configured meets the Department’s requirements for public park design (inclusive age-friendly, sustainable design; playground contains all elements of play; safe routes to and through parks/pathway connectivity/public access from public right of way; off street parking; adjacent restroom; place-making & art features; nature/habitat value; use of an approved plant palette), support of active recreation program elements, operation and lifecycle maintenance.

The Commission will review the Schematic Design for the Public Neighborhood Park, provide feedback, and make a recommendation for approval to City Council.

REPORT TO PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION

SUBJECT Recommendation to the Governance and Ethics Committee to Name the New Public Park located at 2343 Calle Del Mundo.

BACKGROUND On November 13, 2018, the Santa Clara City Council adopted the Tasman East Specific Plan (TESP). The TESP is in an existing industrial neighborhood 45 acres in size, and is bounded by Tasman Drive to the south, the Guadalupe River to the East, the former Santa Clara Golf & Tennis Club property to the north, and Lafayette Street to the west. The TESP provides a framework for the development of a high-density transit-oriented neighborhood along with supportive retail services. The specific plan shows allowed uses, densities, height limits, design criteria, connections to the existing Guadalupe River trail, locations for parkland (Attachment 1), and strategies for better access to transit.

SummerHill Residential Project located at 2343 Calle Del Mundo has an approved project to construct one 347-unit apartment building and has proposed to meet its requirements for parkland dedication (SCCC17.35) and the TESP through an 18,200sf (0.4178 acres) public park to be dedicated to the City in fee title, among other items. Public park improvements will be constructed by the developer to the City’s design criteria and specifications in two phases and will be maintained by the developer after dedication. In phase one, the park will feature an enclosed off leash dog area with a fence separating large and small dogs, play apparatus for children ages 2-5 and 6-12, benches, a family picnic area with tables and BBQs, pathways, trees, and landscaping. The second phase of the park will be added once shared easements with the adjacent property owner are no longer in effect and include additional landscaped areas.

DISCUSSION Under Council Policy 035 (Attachment 2), the Parks & Recreation Commission makes recommendations to the Governance and Ethics Committee for names of facilities relating to the Commission’s purview such as parks. Proposed names must be in accordance with at least one of the criteria outlined in Council Policy 035.

REPORT TO PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION

SUBJECT Introductory Community Outreach Meeting for the Magical Bridge All-Inclusive Playground Project in Central Park

BACKGROUND The City of Santa Clara (City) invited the community to a special event to bring a Magical Bridge all- inclusive playground to Central Park. The all-inclusive, all-access playground will provide a creative play space where people of all ages and abilities can explore at their own pace.

The Magical Bridge Foundation has a unique combination of expertise in the field of inclusive playgrounds, commitment to raise funds towards design and construction, and the ability to facilitate comprehensive outreach campaigns to raise funds and awareness for all-inclusive projects. Magical Bridge Foundation’s first inclusive playground was constructed at Mitchell Park in Palo Alto in 2015. The playgrounds are designed to meet all accessibility requirements and include unique play elements that address the needs of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder, sensory challenges, visual and auditory impairments, cognitive, developmental and physical disabilities, including the medically frail.

The City has an agreement with the Magical Bridge Foundation to: assist in community engagement, assist in and review project design, license the City to use the Magical Bridge Brand, and commitment to raise one million dollars towards the project. In addition, the City has an agreement with Groundswell Landscape Architects (Groundswell) to: conduct community outreach, complete the schematic design, complete the construction drawings and specifications (PS &E), provide bid support, and provide construction support. The Design Team will include the City Parks & Recreation and Public Works Departments and incorporate input from the various City commissions and community through the outreach and approval processes.

The City currently has $3.7 million budgeted in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget project #3183. With an additional $1.0 million in corporate and community funds to be raised by Magical Bridge Foundation, the project budget will total $4.7 million.

DISCUSSION At the October 15, 2019 Parks & Recreation Commission Meeting, Groundswell and the Magical Bridge Foundation will formally introduce the Magical Bridge concept and conduct the first community outreach meeting for Santa Clara residents and the Commission. The playground will meet the City’s Central Park Master Plan Guiding Principles, the County of Santa Clara All Inclusive Playground Grant Guidelines (AIPG) as well as research based best practices for all-inclusive playground design standards.

REPORT TO PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION

SUBJECT Action to Recommend Acceptance of a Donation to the City for the Purchase, Installation, and Maintenance of a Tree in Central Park in the name of Rod Diridon, Sr.

The City has received a request to accept a donation of funds for the planting a tree in Central Park in the name of Rod Diridon Sr., a long-time City resident and public servant.

DISCUSSION Staff in the Parks & Recreation Department has reviewed the request to plant the tree and confirmed that it is allowable and conforms with the City donation policy. The donation will enable the City to recover all costs associated with purchase and installation of the tree and donor plaque. Long term tree maintenance is currently budgeted in the Department’s operating budget and a new tree will replace trees in the park landscape plans that have been lost over time. Planting of an incense cedar tree or a tree with a similar canopy and characteristics will benefit the City of Santa Clara and Central Park. Central Park has experienced a loss of large canopy trees, such as redwood trees due to increased water stress and changes in local climate. Planting a drought tolerant native California evergreen tree with a large canopy will provide benefits that will contribute to wildlife habitat, shade, cooling effect, aesthetic qualities, sustainability and support the Central Park Master Plan Guiding Principles adopted by Council.

The Parks & Recreation Commission will discuss and consider a recommendation to approve acceptance of a designated donation in the amount of $1,800 to purchase, install and maintain a 24” box incense cedar (Calocedrus decurrens) tree or tree of similar canopy shape and form in Central Park. The location of the tree in Central Park will be determined by the Parks & Recreation Department in conformance with the Central Park Master Plan.

FISCAL IMPACT The proposed donation of funds ($1800) for the planting of a tree in Central Park will cover the purchase of the tree and supplies, labor to install, subsequent maintenance period, and replacement of the tree one-time, if necessary. The General Fund would not be impacted by the planting of a new tree in Central Park.

Attention: James Teixeira, Director Parks & Recreation Department

Dear Mr. Teixeira.

I am interested in donating a tree in honor of Rod Diridon, Sr., a long-time Santa Clara County resident, Santa Clara city resident, and public servant. I’ve been in touch with Kimberly Castro, who recommended I reach out to you with this letter request for assistance.

Would it be possible to donate such tree to Santa Clara Central Park? If so, could you please indicate what the tree specimen options are and the prices for purchase and installation?

I would like for this donation to occur at the next planting season, so your expeditious assistance to this matter will be most appreciated.

I would be happy to discuss this with you as well and have included contact information below.

I’ll look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you for your time and attention to this request.

Best regards,

REPORT TO PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION

SUBJECT Parks & Recreation Commission Work Plan Goals for FY 2019/20 BACKGROUND At the regular Commission Meeting on July 16, 2019, the Commission discussed current issues, trends, and local needs related to city parks operations and maintenance, recreation programs and community services, cemeteries, and special events. Annually, the Parks & Recreation Commission considers three to five specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound goals and/or activities for the year. These are intended to focus Commission efforts and respond to community and City Council priorities within existing budget direction, resource limitations, and the purview of the Commission as set forth in the City Charter and City Code.

On July 16, 2019, the Parks & Recreation Commission discussed Work Plan Goals from FY2018-19 and established the draft goals for FY2019/20. At subsequent meetings, the Commission will discuss the Work Plan and makes sub-committee assignments, as necessary. Members then work toward goal completion and provide updates at the regular Commission meetings. The Parks & Recreation Commission FY2019/20 Work Plan Goals are to: a) Inform the community about parks and recreation infrastructure conditions and provide leadership and advocacy for any potential new funding strategies; b) Review existing park rehabilitation needs and new residential development park project plans; c) Host the 39th annual Santa Clara Art & Wine Festival and begin planning celebratory elements for the 40th anniversary event; and, d) Provide leadership and guidance for a community input and outreach phase for a new 30+ acre community park in the north of the City.

DISCUSSION At the July 16, 2019 meeting, the Commission discussed and reviewed Work Plan Goals for Fiscal Year 2019/20. At the August meeting, the Commission reviewed the existing park rehabilitation needs and recommended a prioritized list of projects for the next Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Budget cycle. New residential development park project plans will be discussed when specific items are scheduled for Commission review on a regular agenda.

On August 20, 2019 the Commission agreed to continue to receive input from the subcommittee for Work Plan Goal (d). The subcommittee will consist of Chair Knaack, Vice Chair Martinez, and Commissioner LaCoursiere. The subcommittee will meet before the October Parks & Recreation Commission Meeting and report back to the Commission.

On September 17, 2019 the Commission reviewed Work Plan Goals. The Commission completed most of Work Plan Goal (c), by hosting the 39th Annual Art & Wine Festival and beginning the

REPORT TO PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION

SUBJECT Initiate Review and Public Comment Period on the Central Park Master Plan Administrative Draft

BACKGROUND The City of Santa Clara’s 52-acre Central Park was designed in the early 1960s and built out in several phases with federal, state and local funding. Since 2000, there have been various studies and projects proposed that would improve, enlarge, or replace different park and recreational assets and facilities in the park. In October 2017, Gates & Associates was contracted to assist the City with a Central Park Master Plan Update (“Plan”). The focus of the Plan is to create a coherent vision that will integrate and guide Central Park’s future improvements by establishing a set of principles, community supported priorities, and appropriate professional design criteria. The intent of the Plan is to provide guidance on how to realistically best meet increased community needs and address aging facility and infrastructure issues over the next 20 years while maximizing green space within the park, improving access, circulation and parking, envisioning new park facilities and recreation elements that serve all ages, abilities and interests. Extensive community input was solicited from October 2017 to March 2018 and included a review of existing studies and data, hosting of community input meetings and events, conducting an online survey, interviewing stakeholders, and soliciting Commission input. On March 22, 2018 the Parks & Recreation Commission recommended to Council the Plan’s Guiding Principles. On August 28, 2018, Council approved the Guiding Principles and directed staff to move forward with the development of the Central Park Master Plan. Following continued development of replacement, rehabilitation and/or renewal project scopes and schematic design options, cost estimating and prioritization of areas of Central Park, in April 2019, a community meeting was held and the Draft Plan and presentation were posted on the City’s Web page. Since then, the project team has reviewed and refined the cost estimates, timeline, phasing, potential impacts, and feasibility. DISCUSSION The Plan Administrative Draft (Attachment 1) is ready for public comment. The next steps will be for additional opportunities for comment through on-line survey, community and Commission input in October and November of 2019, and Council consideration of adoption in December 2019.

MEASURE R The recommendation for changes to the existing Central Park may be subject to Measure R. In November 2016, voters passed Measure R, which added Section 714.1 Protection of Parkland and Public Open Space to the City Charter. Measure R prohibits selling, leasing, or otherwise disposing of parkland for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days or more, and also prohibits its use from changing, being abandoned, or discontinued without such sale, lease, disposal or changed use having first been authorized or ratified by a two-thirds majority vote of the electorate during a general municipal election for that purpose. Measure R also prohibits changes in park use for over 180 days

City of Santa Clara Page 1 of 3 Printed on 10/11/2019 powered by Legistar™ 19-1202 Agenda Date: 10/15/2019 without a majority vote of the electorate and substantial building, construction, reconstruction or development upon dedicated parkland except pursuant to ordinance subject to referendum. The referendum process is set forth in the Elections Code.

The Central Park Master Plan Update proposes several individual projects that may be considered as “substantial building, construction, reconstruction, or development” of the existing park and facilities. The approval of the Central Park Master Plan projects and schematic design will require an ordinance in order to comply with Measure R and will be introduced for the Council’s consideration in the final approval of the Plan. It does not include a sale, lease, disposal, or change in use that would require a majority vote of the electorate. Staff will propose, after the close of the public comment period, that the Commission recommend that the City Council with approval the Central Park Master Plan, introduce an Ordinance to ensure compliance with Measure R. The ordinance will come back to Council at a subsequent meeting for adoption in accordance with City Charter sections 808 and 812.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The action to initiate public input does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment. However, if any proposed improvements within the Plan do qualify as a project under CEQA, then the preparation of an Initial Study of Environmental Impacts or other appropriate clearance such as a Negative Declaration (ND), Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) or Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be generated as the specific project moves forward for approval. Some projects contained in the Plan may be considered exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15301 “Existing Facilities”, 15302 “replacement or reconstruction”, and 15303 “new construction or conversion of small structures” as the activity consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting or minor alteration of existing public facilities or topographical features involving negligible expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agencies determination. In addition, the potential environmental impacts of an ISC-CRC project were addressed in a Mitigated Negative Declaration (CEQ2015-01189 (IS/MND)) certified and approved on September 20, 2016, and will be amended if necessary.

FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact from the current action. As noted in the Master Plan, sources of funding will need to be identified and allocated by Council for any project to be implemented. If the Master Plan is approved by Council, then the overall cost estimates for proposed projects identified in the Plan would provide a reference point for consideration, prioritization and potential inclusion in future City Capital Improvement Project (CIP) budgets. As of this report date, the Arbor Center Playground is an approved CIP #3183, and partial funding has been allocated for the Central Park Magical Bridge All Inclusive Playground in the amount of $3.4 million using City, County and future contributions.
