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.

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. Continued use, maintenance and upgrade of existing public parks and playgrounds,
trails and related facilities such as parking lots, picnic areas and restrooms;
B. Harbor activities such as fishing, passive recreation and related facilities such as piers
and parking;
C. Beaches, beach accessways and vista areas;
D. Preservation of geological features and historic and cultural sites;
E. Wildlife preserves. (Ord. of 2-22-2011(1))
The Municipal Code envisions a space for recreational activities, including parks, playgrounds,
trails, parking lots, picnic area, restrooms, beach accessways, and preservation of historic and
cultural sites for the people and visitors of Crescent City. 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.
Page 4 of 6
• Street, sidewalk, and public services requirements: The subject property is developed with
sidewalks and public services are available.
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. The proposed project is determined to be exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15302, 15303, 15304, and
15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines.
Class 2 consists of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where
the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have
substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. (14 CCR § 15302)
Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or
structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the
conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor
modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. The numbers of structures
described in this section are the maximum allowable on any legal parcel. (14 CCR §
15303)
Class 4 consists of minor public or private alterations in the condition of land, water,
and/or vegetation which do not involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees except for
forestry and agricultural purposes. (14 CCR § 15304)
(a) Location. Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project
is to be located -a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment
may in a particularly sensitive environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are
considered to apply in all instances, except where the project may impact on an
environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely
mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies. (14
CCR § 15300.2)
Recommended Findings:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission make the following findings:
A. The Beachfront Park Master Plan is consistent with the Crescent City General Plan and
Municipal Code.
B. The Beachfront Park Master Plan is consistent with the Site Plan and Architectural
Review findings.
C. The Beachfront Park Master Plan, as conditioned, will not result in significant and
unavoidable impacts on the environment.
Page 5 of 6
D. The Beachfront Park Master Plan has been subject to previous CEQA review and is
categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under the
Sections 15302, 15303, 15304, and 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines.
E. The proposed location of the Beachfront Park Master Plan and the conditions under
which it would be operated or maintained will not be detrimental to the public health,
safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity.
Staff Recommendations:
Based upon the analysis of information available, Staff recommend approval of the Beachfront
Park Master Plan and recommends sending the Plan to the City Council for approval.
