SUBJECT: PARKING AT LAUREL GLEN PARR ( TRACT 12 7 6 3 )
RECOMMENDATION
Pleasure of the City Council.
BACKGROUND
As Council will recall, the City Council reviewed the design of
Laurel Glen Park in Tract 12763 in October 1990. In a status
report which is attached, the Council was informed that all
appropriate bodies had approved the site plan and that the
community had expressed a need for limited on -street parking. The
Citizens Task Force had come to consensus that there would be three
on -street parking spaces on Heritage Way. One of those spaces
would be a handicapped space, and the parking would be limited in
time from 6:00 a.m. to dusk with a two hour limit.
Given the Council's desire for a parking -bay scheme at Camino Real
Park , staff is concerned that the Council may wish to revisit the
design scheme for Laurel Glen Park. The on -street parking scheme
was designed with the consensus of the Neighborhood Task Force;
should the Council wish to reconsider that before Laurel Glen Park
goes to bid, it may be wise to reconvene the Task Force. On the
other hand, if Council is satisfied with the current on -street
pEeen
cheme, no further action is necessary.

Receive and file.
BACKGROUND
The Preliminary Site Plan for the Neighborhood Park in Tract 12763
has been developed as a result of an intensive design process. On
September 24, 1990, the Planning Commission approved the site plan
concluding a series of design steps which included site plan
approval by the Parks and Recreation Commission and input from the
Neighborhood Park Task Force, Design Review Board, and Field
Services Department Staff. Design coordination and technical work
for the site plan was provided by the design consultant and
Community Services Department Staff. The approved site plan is
attached for the Council's review.
The elements of the site plan were included considering a
prioritized list of park features and amenities developed at three
Task Force meetings. These elements include a play area/tot lot;
landscaping emphasizing extensive use of trees; a softscaped
picnic area; a fitness trail with a concrete path and a rest room.
The Task Force has also met with staff and the design consultant
to review park design details such as plant materials, color
boards, and playground equipment.
The 3.0 acre park site is located on the southwest corner of
Heritage Way and Myford Road. The proposed park is bordered by a
future elementary school site to the south, and a town home project
to the west. Located across the street on the north is a
condominium project with an apartment complex on the east.
Throughout the design process for this park, the community has
expressed a need for limited on -street parking. In anticipation
of future on -street bike trails and with the direction of the City
Council, the Engineering Division has imposed parking restrictions
on all arterial roads and collector streets in East Tustin.
According to the City Engineer, no on -street bike trial is planned
along Heritage Way along the east side of the park. On -street
parking could be implemented at the park on Heritage Way. Since
the City Council provided the initial direction to staff which
resulted in the parking restriction, the City Engineer feels the
City Council should approve the restoration of parking on Heritage
Way. This action will be proposed when plans and specifications
are approved for advertisement of bids for the park by the City
Council in February.
Proposed plans for on -street parking at the park will be developed
with input from the Police Department and Engineering Division as
well as the Community Services Department and the project design
consultant. It is expected that the on -street parking scheme will
provide space for no more than three cars on Heritage Way. Parking
would be limited -to 6:00 a.m. to dusk with a two-hour time limit.
Parking issues at Camino Real Park have also been of concern to the
City Council. After researching concerns for parking at Camino
Real Park and the new park, it was determined that Camino Real Park
has unique site constraints. A report dealing with parking issues
for this park will be agendized for a future City Council meeting.

The Preliminary Site Plan for the Neighborhood Park in Tract 12763
has been developed considering input from the community. The
design meets City park standards and is consistent with the City's
Recreation Element and .the East Tustin Specific Plan. The most
up-to-date park amenities and recreation features have been
planned. This site plan will guide the construction of a park
which will serve the recreational needs for the residents of Tustin
for many years.
