PARKS AND RECREATION BOARD DIRECTOR’S REPORT DATE: December 2020 PLANNING UPDATES: Roy G. Guerrero Metro Park – Right of Way (ROW): Update on the City Council direction to vacate Right of Way (ROW) in Roy G. Guerrero Metro Park. The Parks and Recreation Department (PARD) will serve as the applicant for the ROW vacation process and will file an application, along with a survey of all ROW to be vacated, with the Office of Real Estate. PARD has identified portions of existing undeveloped ROW in Roy G. Guerrero that have not been vacated and ordered a survey through the Public Works Department. Once the survey is completed, the application will be submitted, and it will go to various reviewers for comments. PARD, as the applicant, will respond to clear the comments. When comments are cleared, the case will be scheduled for public hearing with the Urban Transportation Commission and then by Planning Commission. Once approved by the Commissions, it will be submitted to City Council for final approval. The survey was ordered through the City Surveyor’s Office in the Public Works Department in July 2020. However, there has been a heavy volume of work and a backlog at the City Surveyor’s office, and work has not yet begun on this series of surveys. As of November, the estimated time for the City Surveyor to begin this work is January 2021 and will take a few weeks to complete. From there, a typical timeline for a ROW vacation is 6 – 12 months for the application to make it through to City Council. District 3 Beverly S. Sheffield Northwest District Park Vision Plan: PARD is working with RVi, a local landscape architecture/planning firm, to engage the community in developing a new vision plan for the park. The plan will provide recommendations for enhancement of the existing facilities and development of new facilities to meet recreational needs through a well-documented community engagement process. The first meetings will be held in early 2021 with a final vision plan, including design and phasing recommendations, presented to Boards and Commissions for approval in summer/fall of 2021.
