Explanation:
The City electorate voted to approve a general obligation bond on March 12, 2019, that included the purchase of the privately owned 40+ acre former Sunset Golf Course site for a new public park space.
The Department of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts (“PRCA”) executed a Consultant’s Authorization to Proceed with Chen Moore and Associates (“CM&A”) to assess existing site conditions, create a preliminary master draft, host public meetings, and finalize a draft master plan for Commission consideration.
The Sunset Park Master Plan will guide the construction of the City’s largest park to serve the community for generations to come.
The Director of PRCA recommends adoption of the Sunset Park Master Plan, attached as Exhibit “A”.
Fiscal Impact:
Approval of this Resolution will not fiscally impact the City as this is a proposal for adoption of the Sunset Master Plan. However, implementation of the plan will require appropriation for operating and/or capital expenditures.
