Exhibit 1
<br />LOCATION
<br />G10. Locate each park site so surrounding uses
<br />have minimal impact on park uses. To the extent
<br />feasible, ensure that this park has a minimal
<br />negative impact on surrounding residential
<br />areas due to park uses, lighting, noise, traffic,
<br />etc. Accordingly, residential back -on lots against
<br />parks and side -on lots are discouraged.
<br />G11. Strive to provide parks that are centralized
<br />to the neighborhood or area it is intended to
<br />serve.
<br />G12. Allow parks that are co -located adjacent
<br />to schools or other open space. Do not count
<br />these areas as parkland unless they may be
<br />developed and/or used for recreation.
<br />G13. Where the park edge adjoins a private
<br />property, ensure any physical barrier deemed
<br />necessary occurs on the private property.
<br />DESIGN AND MASTER PLANNING
<br />G14. Prepare a site master plan or design
<br />concept for each new park. Master planning,
<br />phasing, timing, finance and maintenance
<br />responsibilities should be addressed.
<br />G15. Conduct a financial feasibility study and
<br />business plan prior to acquiring or building
<br />any major facility, such as a recreation center,
<br />aquatic facility or stadium. Specify programming
<br />requirements, operations, cost recovery rates,
<br />revenue -generation strategies, and market
<br />considerations to guide decisions on the types
<br />and scale of amenities.
<br />City Council
<br />G16. Involve all key players in the master
<br />planning and design process to address the
<br />following issues: maintenance, renovation and
<br />replacement costs, funding availability, public
<br />safety, recreation programming, and ADA
<br />accessibility.
<br />G17. Provide opportunities for nearby
<br />neighbors and relevant stakeholders to be
<br />involved in park master planning and design.
<br />G18. When master planning and designing
<br />parks, be cognizant of local conditions,
<br />including topography, site context, and
<br />neighborhood character.
<br />G19. Natural features, items of cultural or
<br />historical significance, public art, and historic
<br />and environmental interpretive elements should
<br />be included in parks to contribute to park
<br />identity and individual character.
<br />G20. Develop distinct themes for each park
<br />site to establish a unique character and identity.
<br />Contingent with approved City palettes, themes
<br />may be highlighted through the use of colors,
<br />materials, furnishings, equipment and plant
<br />selections.
<br />G21. Ensure that proposed park design and
<br />construction, including park amenities and
<br />facilities, are consistent with City design detail
<br />and specifications.
<br />G22. Ensure that all elements, facilities,
<br />materials and equipment are in compliance
<br />with all current safety, accessibility and design
<br />standards, laws, regulations and any other
<br />14 — 158
<br />Exhi
<br />G23. Emphasize public safety and security
<br />by considering Crime Prevention through
<br />Environmental Design (CPTED) guidelines in the
<br />design and operations of parks and facilities.
<br />Guidelines include the appropriate use or
<br />exclusion of lights to deter crime, landscaping
<br />to allow unobstructed views of surrounding
<br />areas, and the location of play equipment and
<br />other recreation facilities in areas that are highly
<br />visible from the street.
<br />G24. Balance maintenance impacts/costs with
<br />creative park design to ensure that parks are
<br />efficient, sustainable, and affordable to maintain
<br />in the long-term. Greater customization may
<br />be approved in citywide and special use parks,
<br />while elements in neighborhood parks should be
<br />designed for greater maintenance efficiencies.
<br />G25. Incorporate new technologies into park
<br />designs to facilitate operational efficiency.
<br />G26. Standardize and preapprove design
<br />choices for amenities such as trash receptacles,
<br />bike racks, drinking fountains, restrooms,
<br />benches, etc., in village parks, mini parks, and
<br />linear parks for maintenance ease and cost
<br />effectiveness. Customized amenities should
<br />be reserved for high -use multi -use community
<br />parks and special use parks.
