ATTACHMENTS: Attachment #1: Project Description Attachment #2: Site map ITEM NUMBER: D2 DATE: 4/15/04 Atascadero Parks and Recreation Commission Staff Report — Community Services Department SAN LUIS OBISPO PARKS AND RECREATION ELEMENT RECOMMENDATION(S): Parks and Recreation Commission provide staff with direction or input regarding the San Luis Obispo County Parks and Recreation Element. DISCUSSION: San Luis Obispo County is rapidly growing. The county's population is projected to grow 30% to 323,100 by the year 2010. The anticipated growth will place significant burdens on the County's parks, public recreation facilities and programs. The San Luis Obispo County Parks and Recreation Element of the County's general plan is much in need of an update. The draft document is available for public review and comment. The element establishes goals, policies and implementation plans for the management, renovation and expansion of existing, and development of new, parks and recreation facilities to meet existing and future needs. The primary purpose of the element is to provide policy guidance regarding parks and recreation services. Information about the update and a set of maps for the element can be accessed on the internet at www.slocountyparks.com . The draft element is now available for public input. A major challenge is funding new facilities and programs. The facilities are expensive to construct and provide maintenance resources for on-going operations. Attached to the report are particular tables pertaining to parks and trails in the draft element involving the Atascadero community. The Commission may give staff direction on any issue relevant to the update to convey to County staff and Parks and Recreation Commission. FISCAL IMPACT: None at this time. ALTERNATIVES: Provide no input to San Luis Obispo County. ATTACHMENTS: Tablet Table 2
