In an effort to resolve the above Specific Plan issues that have been raised to date, staff recommends that the Council discuss them at the upcoming meeting and take "straw votes" for resolving each issue. The final Council vote regarding the Specific Plan can then reflect the combination of approved "straw votes." BERNAL COMMUNITY PARK MASTER PLAN Also in the year 2000, the Council initiated planning for a "30-50-acre" community park within the Phase II Specific Plan Area. The Bernal Community Park Master Plan Task Force was appointed by the Council to oversee preparation of the Master Plan. Over the course of the four years that followed, the Task Force prepared three different plan concepts, the most recent of which was merged into the current Draft Master Plan (Exhibit C). The vision of the Park Master Plan is to create groupings of sports fields and related facilities within a forested framework of open space on approximately 50 acres. Park facilities are to be interconnected with one another and with the outlying Bernal Property through coordinated systems of mounded landforms, plant communities, trails, and public art. The program of active sports facilities and activities is to remain flexible in order to respond to the changing community recreational needs over time. Due to the significant acreage involved and the range of recreational facilities anticipated, development of the Park will need to occur over time and in multiple phases. The Master Plan is therefore organized to guide the desired future recreational facilities and to locate them in a creative pattern while maintaining flexibility to allow for future changes to meet the community needs over time. The types of planned park facilities are listed below. 1. Three lighted baseball diamonds (including a small stadium) and one informal baseball field 2. One lighted footbalVlacrosse field 3. Three lighted soccer fields (including a small stadium) 4. Concession stands and restrooms 5. Trails 6. Picnic grounds and facilities for small community gatherings 7. Play areas for small children 8. 1,000-seat amphitheater 9. Open space 10. Public art 11. Parking 12. Park maintenance facilities SR06:l42 Page 6
