ATTEST: _______________________ Heather Welton, Planning Secretary/Office Technician PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA VII-A Crescent City Planning Commission January 14, 2020 Staff Report Agenda Item#: VII-A. Application #: NA Recommended Planning Commission Actions: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take the following actions: A) Open the public hearing. 1) Receive the Staff Report on the Beachfront Park Master Plan 2) Receive public comments on the Plan. B) Close the public hearing. C) Planning Commission Deliberation 1) Staff Recommendation: make the findings set forth herein, approve the Beachfront Park Master Plan, and send to City Council for approval. Project: Beachfront Park Master Plan Applicant: City of Crescent City Site Address: Front Street APN: 118-020-031 Lot Size: +/- 176.290 acres General Plan Land Use: Conservation and Open Space (Open Space) Zoning: CZ-O (Coastal Zone Open Space) District Coastal: Yes Surrounding Zoning/Uses: South – Crescent City Harbor East - CW (Waterfront Commercial District) West - CW (Waterfront Commercial District) North - CW (Waterfront Commercial District) Background & Project Description: The original Beachfront Park Master Plan was developed through a community input process in 2012 and adopted in 2013. Since that time, several projects have been completed within the park as funding was secured, including the Dog Park, improved beach access via a staircase at Stamps Way and an accessible ramp at Howe Drive West, parking area and picnic area at Howe Drive East, as well as improvements to Kidtown, the Fred Endert Municipal Swimming Pool, and the Cultural Center. Although significant progress has been made, the City recognizes that the Master Plan needs to be updated in order to be competitive for future Prop. 68 grants through California Dept. of Parks and Recreation. California voters approved Prop 68 in 2018, which authorizes $4 billion in general obligation bonds to fund state and local parks, environmental protection, water infrastructure, and flood protection projects. Crescent City intends to apply for the Prop 68 competitive grant. Page 1 of 6 In order to ensure the park is developed in accordance with the community’s priorities, the City worked with Greenway Partners to do extensive community outreach to help update the master plan. The public outreach included both focus groups and interviews led by a mix of City staff and the consultant team. Focus groups were effective at connecting with people while at their places of work and with people who feel more comfortable speaking when around their peers or members of their community. Focus groups obtained insight from Sunset High School students, Del Norte Child Care Council staff, New Dawn participants and their caregiving staff, tourism industry staff, local business leaders, members of the Hispanic/Latino community, and the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Cultural Committee members. Focus groups ranged in size from 3 to 10 people per group and reached a total of 44 community members. Focus groups allowed participants to interact with one another and facilitators encouraged deeper conversations around specific ideas and feedback. On August 16, 2019 the City Council authorized staff to apply for Coastal Conservancy Grant for $90,000 and on October 17, 2019 the Conservancy approved the award of grant funding to the City of Crescent to update the Beachfront Park Master Plan. On March 2, 2020 Council approved a contract with PGAdesign to complete the updated Beachfront Park Master Plan. As outlined in their proposal, PGAdesign assembled a comprehensive team that offers a broad technical capacity and an extensive history of community park planning and master plan development that will ensure meeting deadlines in a timely manner. PGAdesign is committed to improving the health and environment of a community by designing places that encourage active living and demonstrated these values as they presented alternative plans to community for feedback and direction. The recommendations from the community included key amenities: • Amphitheater • ADA accessible pathways • Bike Park • Green Areas with Native Plants • Lookout Hill • Cultural Components • Informational Kiosks • Civic Plaza and Food/Concession Locations • Walking – Biking Paths • Enhanced Activities for all Ages • Sustainable Design After providing three Park Plan Alternatives to the community, Planning Commission and City Council they then developed the Draft Master Plan that was presented to this Commission in December. PGA Design then went back to the drawing board to refine the park plan incorporating final recommendations made in those community meetings for the Final Beachfront Park Master Plan that will be used as the basis for upcoming grant opportunities. Some of the more significant improvements to the plan include: • Increased line of site from lookout hill to key locations in the community including Battery Point Lighthouse, the harbor and B Street Pier. Page 2 of 6 • Adding signage and seating to look out hill • Removing middle row of trees down Stamps Way to increase the view down H Street into the park and of the water • Ensure all memorials currently in park are near Waterfront Plaza to help tell the story of our amazing area. • Include maintenance building to support Public Works Staff in maintaining par. • Keep existing dog park but include seating, path and plants around it to flow with larger park plan • Modify parking layout on Play Street to ensure safe School Bus/Charter Bus access to the pool and Kidstown • Include lighting for paths and limit low growing plant to increase visibility for law enforcement in the park • Moving ADA access ramp to beach to start closet to end of Stamps Way and accessible parking On February 1st, this final plan will be presented to City Council where key park elements will be chosen to be included in the Prop. 68 State Park Program Grant application that will be submitted on March 14. 2021 for up to $8.5 million dollars. General Plan Consistency: The general plan designates the project site within the CZ-O. The CZ-O land use designation reads as follows: This designation is intent to set aside areas to be used for permanent open space to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the people and visitors of the Crescent City area and to provide spaces for the location and preservation of unusual natural features, historical and cultural sites, and areas that provide energy, water, and recreational activities. This designation is also intended to set aside areas to be used for wind or weather screens and for visual effect. Public property uses include, but are not limited to, parks and playgrounds, vista areas, general open spaces, beaches, wooded areas, drainage canals and channels, airport flight path zones, and marinas. Private uses include commercial recreation, farming, energy production, transmission corridors, mineral production, water conservation, cemeteries, and marinas (page 1-11). The General Plan envisions a space for recreational activities, including parks, playgrounds, vista areas, and general open spaces for the people and visitors of Crescent City. The proposed use (a recreational area) is consistent with the Land Use Plan. Zoning Code Consistency: The Crescent City Municipal Code (CCMC) defines the following applicable uses as principally permitted in the CZ-O (Coastal Zone Open Space) District: The purpose the CZ-O coastal zone open space district is intended to provide permanent open spaces which are necessary to safeguard the health, safety and welfare of the people, and to provide spaces for the location and preservation of unusual land masses, historical Page 3 of 6 sites and areas which provide energy, water and recreational activities. The district is also intended to set aside areas to be used for wind or weather screens and for visual effect. (17.71.010(A)). 17.71.020 Uses. The principal permitted use on public property in the Coastal Zone Open Space district is general open space use which includes: A.

The proposed use (a recreational area) is consistent with the CZ-O (Coastal Zone Open Space) District. Staff Analysis: Staff recommend acceptance of Beachfront Park Master as it increases community access to natural and new recreational opportunities, increases beach accessways, and is based on information gathered from extensive community outreach with general population, underserved community groups and community partners. Architectural Review: Zoning Code Section 17.46.035 requires that the architectural review include “…consistency with the applicable zoning, parking, and landscaping, fencing, signage, street, sidewalk and public services requirements as set forth by this section.” • Zoning: Parks are allowed under Section 17.71.020 (A-B) as noted under Zoning Code Consistency. • Parking: CCMC Section 17.76.060 (M) requires “parking space requirements of buildings and uses not set forth herein shall be determined by the planning director, and such determination shall be based upon requirements for the most comparable building or use specified herein, or where no such use is comparable, such space which would appear necessary to provide adequate parking for the use. (Ord. of 2-22-2011(1)).” Therefore, the proposed use, since not specified, would be determined by the planning director. • Fencing: Per the CCMC the proposed project is not required to install fencing. Signage: Per CCMC 17.74.170(B) Public Signs are exempt. “Signs of a public, noncommercial nature which are placed by a duly recognized governmental agency, including, but not limited to directional signs, safety signs, handicapped parking signs and signs identifying places of scenic or historical interest.” • Trees: The subject property is developed with CCMC 17.87 Public Trees. • Landscape: The subject property is developed with CCMC 17.43 Landscape Standards.

Coastal Development Permit: This proposed project, due to its proposed location within the CZ-O Zoning, is required to get coastal development permit through the California Coastal Commission as specified in the City’s Local Coastal Plan. Environmental Determination: An environmental impact report was certified in 2001 as part of the City’s General Plan update. The City’s current Local Coastal Plan also went through a CEQA-equivalent process at time of Coastal Commission adoption.
