THE OPEN SPACE ELEHENT THE OPEN SPACE ELEMENT REGIONAL PARKS A regional park Is defined as a large~ multi-purpose faclllty servlng the entire city or reglon. Although they are relatively large in acreage, reglonal parks are equally defined by their function. These parks are normally located In an area of outstandlng s.cenlc beauty or areas where they provide rellef from urban stress. There are four areas of reglonal significance that effect the City of South San Francisco: Oyster Point Marina/Parks San Francisco Bayfront lands~ San Bruno Mountain, and the California Golf Club. The current adopted general plan for the Oyster Point Marlna/Park provides for approxlmately 13 acres of open space/passive recreatlon area and for numerous leisure actlvltles aside from boating, I.e. a fishing pier, beach and swimming area, and plcnlc facllltles. The Clty should encourage controlled development that Is tn accord with the accepted plan to Insure the proper Integration of commerclal and recreational amenltles. A11 areas should be landscaped to Clty standards to Insure that the facillty attains the e~park settinge~. Parking and commerclal areas should be landscaped In an orderly manner to provide Integrated development of all necessary amenltles. The City should continue to regulate the shorellne of the Bay to Insure that property o~ners provide for publlc access and amenltles in accordance with Bay Conservation and Development Commission standards. Clty should encourage compatible development along shoreline wlthln Clty limits. SAN BRUNO MOUNTAIN PARK (Proposed) San Mateo County has purchased I,lO0 acres along the eastrldge of San Bruno Mountain to be developed Into a.reglonal park. The State of Callfornla will soon purchase the ~saddle~ area long the south slope. When the purchase Is complete, the County will revise the master plan and environ- mental Impact report to reflect the total project and establish a time table for completlon of development. The City should encourage development of a regional park and recreation faclllty on San Bruno Mountain and monitor Its progress to assure congruence wlth the needs of our citlzens. The Callfornla Golf Club serves as a regional recreation facility for a private group of Individuals, but, provldes a more public functlon as ~'open space and rellef from urban straln~. The Clty should encourage contlnued retention of thls area as open space zoning. COMMUNITY PARKS · A community park, by definition, Is designed to accommodate the major recreatlonal needs of 25,000 to 30,000 people and It is one that contalns facllltles such as ballflelds, plcnlc areas, tennis faclllties, a t'club- houset~ or community center building, as well as passlve natural areas. Two facllitles in South San Franclsco can be approprlately categorlzed as community parks: Orange Memorlal Park and Westborough Park. The proposed Sign Hill Enhancement project, due to Its slze, would also be classlfied in this category. Orange Memorlal Park is the oldest public park in South San Francisco and serves as the mJhub~ of nearly all recreation actlvltles In the City. At 2(; acres, It Is also the largest park and provides facllltles for aquatic actlvltles, tennis, soccer, baseball, picnic, community meetings and Instructional programs. Over usage has Impacted the park and has created other problems In parking and traffic flow. Traffic problems are heightened by the fact that Memorlal Drive Is a dedicated City street. Orange Memorial Park is bordered In the rear area by approximately 11.25 acres of land privately owned by two separate parties. Purchase and development of one or both parcels could Increase the functlonabtlity as well as slze of the park. By central lzlng and relocating the Corporatlon Yards to the rear of the park, I) public and maintenance vehicle access could be separated, and 2) the fragmentation created by useable park land mixed wlth maintenance facilities could be eliminated. This could help al levlate current problems of parking and trafflc control wlthln the park. Westborough Park serves as the community park for the entire Vestborough and Vest Park development located west of the dunlpero Serra Freeway. Because of the slze of Itms service area, this park should be consldered as a location for area facilities, I.e. par course, ballflelds, etc. Activities at Vestborough Park are hlndered due to Inclement weather during certain seasons of the year. Priorities for the park should re. volve around consideratlons that would Increase It's useabllity. Park Iightlng, the constructlon of a clubhouse (proposed In original development), and the use, where feaslble, of natural barriers, I.e. trees, to asslst In controlling the wlnd factor are recommended. There is a parcel of undeveloped property, app~'oxlmately one acre in slze, adjacent to the northern border of the park. Although it was originally Intended for a branch library, park expansion may be cons I dered. There are approximately 77 total acres of open space on Sign Hill, qO~; of which is owned by the Clty of South San Francisco. While previous studies have recommended that portions of the slte be utilized for a neighborhood I~ark, it is felt that land uses be restricted to I) scenic lands, 2) enhancement of natural landscaplng, and 3) totally undeveloped, pure open space .and wlldllfe habitat. Special Note: The City should continuously review and monitor undeveloped parcels of land adjacent to publlc parks. Whatever development which may take place on these parcels should be monitored to assure that It is compatible wlth the established park. In addition, pollcy should be clarified on the City's first right of refusal to purchase these parcels, If feasible. NE IOHBORHOOD PARKS A neighborhood park should contain a mlnlmum of flve acres. Rmenltles should Include play-flelds~ small chlldrens area, and plcnlc facllltles.. Although none meet the minimum acreage of five acres, there are three facllitles In town that are currently functlonlng as nelghborhood parks: Brentwood (3.011), Burl 13url (4.719) and Paradise Valley (3.50). These facllltles all have established usage patterns and are, currently~ meeting the leisure needs of the surrounding areas. But~ the facllltles are outdated and in need of modernizing. Lands of Botleff The Lands of Botleff Is a 1.33 acre parcel located at the northerly base of Camaritas Drlve. It Is adjacent to slx (6)+ acres currently owned by the South San Franclsco Unlfled School District. The Botleff property was purchased in 1972 with Federal Housing and Urban Development funds on the basis that both agencies would jointly develop the total acres as an actlve recreatlon facility. The service area for thls proposed park site has been Identlfled as lacking adequate open space and park facllitles. The area must be a high prlorlty and the development of park facllltles must be recommended. The Isolated development of the 1.33 acre parcel is _not recommended. The size is Insufficient to provide necessary services. The development of additional housing on the adjacent acreage without consideration of park facllltles would enhance the exlstlng problem. If houslng were developed on the adjacent acreage, the follo~ing alternatives are recommended: I. Require the developer to provide additional land adjacent to the Lands of Botleff for open space purposes. 2. Exchange the Lands of Botleff for an equal parcel adjacent to the Alta Loma Junlor High School athletlc field and Improve the entire area as a community park. Burl Burl Park A small parcel of City o~ned land exists between Burl Burl Park and ~/estborough Blvd. The parcel Is not large enough nor centrally located enough to provide adequate park expansion. One option v, ould be to develop a parklng lot off ~/estborough Blvd. and close the existing parking lot for park expansion. Although this could help alleviate the resldents concerns wlth the existtng parking lot Iocatlon, the recreatlonal value compared to cost would make It a lower staff priority recomnendation. LINEAR PARK~/AYS, PLAZAS AND POCKET PARKS The Hahn, Wise and Associates study recc~nended the public park areas not be llmited to the above categories. Parks, plazas, or landscaped areas are Invaluable as beautification, specifically, to provide relief from the urban setting. These areas would Include Ilnear parks along utility easements, common greens, and small enclaves. The landscape treatment and pathway development of linear easements along Colma Creek from Mission to Oak, and Orange Avenue to Spruce Avenue, are proposed in the actlon plan. In addltion, the private development and malntenance of a landscaped setback adjacent to Chestnut Avenue from Hlllslde Blvd. to Grand Avenue is recommended. Such a facility would serve as a connector of Orange Memorlal Park to the south slope of 5an Bruno Mountain and the westerly side of Sign Hill. The quality of landscaplng in future public and private development projects wlll be much to determlne its value to the communlty. Landscaping should be an Important conslderatlon In all planning and completion of development. The downtown revitlllzation project should'serve to create an open space environment to the urban core. The revltllizatlon of Clty Hall grounds along with the landscaping of Grand Avenue must be carefully planned and properly Implemented to avold future problems. Clty should encourage controls in areas of long term malntenance. There are nlne (9) playlots or "pocket parks" In South San Franclsco ranging In size from .I acres to .8 acres. Although the required maintenance Is hlgh In comparison to the recreatlonai value, they are a part of our park system and most are utlllzed contlnuously. BICYCLE TRAILS SYSTEM It Is felt that properly planned bicycle and pedestrian trails provide Iow cost recreational opportunltles as well as safe accessiblllty to several areas of the community. Previous materials relatlng to a community blcycle trail should be revie~ved and updated In the form of a master plan.
