DESCRIPTION : In Fiscal Year 1990-91, the City embarked on
the development of a Parks and Recreation Master Plan. The purpose of
the Parks and Recreation Master Plan was to establish goals, long-term
pOlicies and standards to guide the city in the acquisition,
development and management of park and recreation facilities for the
next twenty years. The development of the Master Plan was timed so
that it would coincide with the planning studies that were being
undertaken in Western DUblin and Eastern Dublin.
PLANNING PROCESS
The firm of David Gates and Associates was retained to assist City
staff with the development of the Master Plan. Early into the
process, it was determined that input from the community was necessary
in order to develop a document that reflected the needs of current
residents and provided for the needs of future residents.. A steering
Committee was formed consisting of interested community members as
well as representatives from City commissions, special recreation
interest groups (little league, youth soccer and senior adults) and
local schools.
The Steering Committee commenced work on November 27, 1990 and meet a
total of four times. Information that was considered by the steering
Committee included: 1) area demographics and popUlation projections;
2) inventory of current facilities; 3) facility standards; 4)
recreation space guidelines and classifications; . 5) recreation needs
and priorities; 6) park site alternatives and park prototypes; and 7)
financing of parks and facilities.
In addition to meetings of the steering Committee, a Public Meeting
was held for the purpose of SOliciting further in~ut from the public
as to park and recreation facility needs and priorlties.
Prior to moving forward with development of the Administrative Draft
Master Plan Report, a Special Study Session'was conducted with the
City Council, the Planning commission and the Parks and Recreation
Commission.

The purpose of the Special Study Sessien was to gain input on the
following issues:
1. Recreation Facility and Park Standards
2. Development of Community Parks versus Neighborhood Parks
3.. Design standards for city Park, Community Park, Neighborhood
Park and Neighborhood Square
4. Locations for community facilities
5. Disposition of Camp Parks lands
At the conclusion of this meeting, the Consultant

Council and
The Administrative Draft Master Plan Report was prepared and
circulated for Staff review. The Master Plan was then revised based
on comments submitted by Staff and, prior to releasing the Master Plan
for pUblic review, the project was placed on hold pending the outcome
of the referendum on Western Dublin. The Western Dublin referendum
was followed by a referendum on Eastern Dublin so work on the Master
Plan was further stalled.
Work on the Master Plan resumed in December of 1993. The Master Plan
was revised to reflect changes that had occurred in Eastern Dublin
and references to parks and facilities in Western Dublin were
deleted.
DRAFT PARKS AND RECREATION KASTER PLAN
The Draft Parks and Recreation Master Plan is attached in Exhibit C.
The Master Plan is divided into five chapters. The first chapter,
Introduction, discusses the parameters and purpose of the Master Plan.
The second chapter summarizes the analysis of background information
and projections used in developing the Plan. The goals and pOlicies
established in the Master Plan are discussed in Chapter 3. The fourth
chapter provides specific standards or criteria for Dublin's parks
and recreation facilities. The fifth chapter, Implementation,
describes the funding sources and regulatory tools available to make
the plan a reality. A summation of each chapter follows.
Introduction
The Master Plan provides direction for addressing the long-term
recreational needs of the City and its changing population over the
next twenty years. The plan emphasizes providing community facilities
to meet the program demands of the residents.
The Dublin Parks and Recreation Master Plan Study Area includes not
only the existing City of Dublin, but areas to the East and West that
may be annexed and developed to accommodate future growth.
Currently the city of Dublin's subdivision ordinance
dedication of 5 acres of park land per 1,000 persons.
has been retained and further defined in the Parks
Master Plan.
requires the
This standard
and Recreation
At build-out the plan will encompass a 330-acre park system providing
5 acres of park land per 1000 residents based on a projected service
population of 66,000. As the existing park system consists of
approximately 74 acres of active parks (excluding school parks and the
Heri tage "Center) , the plan calls for the aC<1uisi tion and development
of an additional 256 acres of park land withln the General Plan Area.
This includes a 56~ acre City Park, an 80~ acre Sports Park, a 46~
acre Community Park and approximately 74 acres of Neighborhood
Parks/Squares. Since the potential for expansion of park and
recreation facilities within the existing city limits is extremely
limited, the weight of providing park land and facilities for the
future growth falls upon the undeveloped portions of the community to
the east. The acquisition and development of additional park land
within Eastern Dublin is consistent with the Eastern Dublin General
Plan Amendment.

DRAFT PARKS & RECREATION MASTER PLAN
PAGE THREE
The Master Plan is based on the follQwing components:
1. Parks which meet community-wide recreation needs
2.. Parks which meet local neighborhood recreation needs
3. Open Space Areas which protect the existing natural
character of the County
4.. Linkages (trails, streets, bikeways) which unite the park
system into ~ cohesive whole
Background and Analvsis
Information that was considered during the preparation of the Parks
and Recreation Master Plan included 1) existing resources both in the
City and the region, 2) population, demographics and projected growth,
3) facilities evaluation and demand and 4) park and recreation
facility needs.
Identifying recreation needs is a very important component of a park
and recreation master plan. This report studied the demand for
recreation facilities and activities and developed a 9uantifiable
statement of need based on a process that included SlX steps as
follows:
1. Analysis of trends in recreation participation
2.. study of who presently provides recreation service in Dublin
3. Analysis of who currently participates in recreation
4. Results of public workshop meetings
5. Development of park and facility standards
6. Identification of park and facility needs.
Standards for parks and recreation facilities were also examined.
Parks and Recreation Facility standards are guides by which
communities may estimate in quantifiable terms the number of acres of
facilities required to meet recreation demand. By attaching the
standard to a population variable, it is possible to forecast future
needs as the population grows. standards can be an expression of
minimum acceptable facilities and areas, and a guideline to determine
land requirements for various types of facilities.
The most recognized standards used for municipal planning of parks and
recreation facilities are those developed by the National Recreation
and Parks Association (NRPA). In addition to the use of national
standards, a comparison with neighboring communities and peer
communities is another useful tool in establishing appropriate
community standards. Both methods were utilized to develop the
recommended standards for park facilities and sports facilities
contained in the Master Plan. (Tables 1 and 2 of the Draft Report.)
Goals and policies
The Draft Parks and Recreation Master Plan contains goals, guiding
policies and action programs for each of the following six areas:
Park System; Trails and Bikeways; open Space; Community Image and
Character; Park Acquisition and Development; and Maintenance and
Operations. The goals and pOlicies have been developed to be flexible
enough to accommodate opportunities and shifts in priorities. They
are as follows:
Park System: Provide for a high-quality and diversified park system
to meet the recreational needs and quality of life goals of existing
and future residents of Dublin.
The Park Facility Plan (Figure 5) identifies the locations of existing
parks as well as potential ,citywide park facilities and neighborhood
parks. Criteria used in the selection of park sites included: 1)
accessibility of the site to the total Dublin community; 2)
proximity to other public facilities such as schools: 3) relationship
to natural features (creeks, knolls, open space); 4) visual presence
(visibility from major roadways); 5) limited site development
constraints such as steep topography; and 6) significant size to
accommodate recreation facilities. .

Trails and Bikewavs: To create a conti~uous network of paths, walks,
and trails, thereby providing a recreational resource of routes and
linear open spaces enabling the pUblic to travel by non-motorized
modes throughout the Dublin community.
The Trails Plan (Figure 6) identifies locations of existing and
proposed Class 1 Pedestrian/Bikeways, existing and proposed Class 2
Bike Lanes and potential hiking/equestrian trail corridors and staging
areas. Careful consideration was given to identifying trail
alignments which would provide linkages to regional trail corridors
and to trails in neighboring communities.
Onen Soace: To preserve the visual quality of the hillsides and creeks
that contribute to the character of Dublin and to provide pUblic
access to and passive recreation opportunities within open space
areas.
;;
Community Image and Character: Use the park and open space system to
provide community identity and character for DUblin, improving the
area's visual quality.
Park Acquisition and Develooment: Generate the necessary funds and
utilize land dedication policies to insure implementation of parks and
facilities acquisition and development.
Maintenance and Onerations: Prqvide
services management and funding for
while developing a thorough list
rapidly expanding DUblin community.
Guiding Policies and Action Plans for each of the aforementioned Goals
are included in Chapter 3 of the Draft Report.

of the recreational needs of the
Park and Recreation Facility Standards
utilizing data gathered through workshops, interviews and review of
existing recreation programs, the Master Plan establishes the number
and type of facilities which will be required if the City of Dublin is
to meet the recreation needs of future residents at the level of
service demanded by the current population. The Master Plan
emphasizes the acquisition and development of community facilities and
restricting the use of neighborhood parks to those activities which
will not impact adjacent residential use.
Park and recreation facility standards and park prototypes have been
developed for the various types of park facilities including:
o
o
o
o
city Park
community Park
Neighborhood Park
Special Use Facilities
o Sports Park
o Civic Park
o Neighborhood Square
- Historic Park and Town square
Standards have also been developed for the trails and bikeways as
follows:
o
o
Parkway
Creekside Trails
o
o
Bicycle Trails
Open Space Trails
Additionally, recommendations for the use and square footage
requirements for each of the following facilities have been developed:

Imnlementation
.,-
The goals, guiding policies and action programs established in this
Master Plan represent an ambitious plan. The successful
implementation of the Master Plan is contingent upon acquisition of
lands as well as funding for development, operations, and maintenance
of the new facilities.
Table 5, Implementation Priorities recommends specific immediate
action to be taken to initiate implementation of the Master Plan.
This will require funding for the necessary specific planning and the
acquisition of park land.
When considering the funding responsibilities for park land
acquisition, development and maintenance, a number of funding
opportunities are available. There also exists a number of regulatory
mechanisms that should be considered in the long range implementation
plans. The major funding sources and requlatory mechanisms are
detailed in Chapter 5 of the Master Plan but lnclude sources such as
Land Dedication, In-lieu Fees, Grants, Bond Measures, Assessment
Districts, etc. The experience of other communities shows that a
combination of regulatory, pUblic and private funding is likely to be
the most successful approach.
CONCLUSION
This Parks and Recreation Master Plan is a reflection of the City of
Dublin's foresight and commitment to ensuring a high quality of life
for the community. The plan reflects the desire of the residents of
Dublin to have and maintain a high quality of parks and recreation
facilities. This desire for quality attracts people to live and work
in Dublin.
The Parks and Recreation Master Plan goals outlined in this document
are ambitious. If diligently followed, they will provide the citizens
of Dublin with a system of quality parks and recreation facilities for
years to come. The City'S challenge will be to provide direction,
services and management for the existing parks and facilities while
planning accurately for the recreational needs of a rapidly expanding
community.

21. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE.
a. Does the project have the potential to
degrade the quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat of a
fish or wildlife species, cause a fish
or wildlife population to drop below
self-sustaining levels, threaten to
eliminate a plant or animal community,
reduce the number or restrict the range
of a rare or endangered plant or animal
or eliminate important examples of the
major periods of California history or
prehistory?
'b. Does the project have the potential to
achieve short-term to the disadvantage
of long-term, environmental goals? (A
short-term impact on the environment is
one which occurs in a relatively brief,
definitive period of time while long-
term impacts will endure well into the
future. )
c. Does the project have impacts which are
individually limited but cumulatively
considerable? (A project may impact on
two or more separate resources where the
impact on each resource. is relatively
small, but where the effect of the total
of those impacts on the environment is'
significant. )
d. does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings, either
directly or indirectly?
