Elmer Soehl Park -- acquire adjacent property, (currently 0.21 ac.) Demand will increase with development of Dana Heights.

La Center Bottoms -- Not in City park inventory; Partner with Clark County to develop trail improvements in this area.

Master Plan Overview

Trails – High priority. Interconnect the city and tie into Clark County's developing network of trails and open space.

Focus – integrate the East Fork of the Lewis River and the

La Center Bottoms into the City's parks and recreation system.

Acquisition – “Bank" lands for future development or preservation. Near term Goal. Consider real estate purchase options or rights of first refusal as a tool.

Amend LCMC to require future residential development to provide park, trail, and open space opportunities within developments to serve future residents.

Questions & Discussion

Code Amendments

Action resulted from 2016 Comprehensive Plan, Policy 6.1.9: • Evaluate the feasibility of requiring new, • Low density residential subdivisions of 25 or more

units to provide parks and trails within the subdivision and,

• If it is feasible and prudent for subdivisions to provide such amenities, create this burden on new subdivisions,

• Develop regulations to implements this policy

Park Code Structure

Create a single new code chapter (LCMC 18.147) for all park requirements

Chapters LDR, MDR, C and MX will reference this new section for applicability, requirements and design standards and will delete individuals standards in these zones

Conclusion

LDR-7.5: 40 DU or more – 0.25 ac. park MDR-16 and MX zones – 35 DU or more – 0.25 ac. Minimum contiguous size = 0.25 acres Designed by licensed landscape architect Access to minor collector or higher street Trail connections if possible 75% of area improved with usable play area and open space List of preferred amenities Owned & maintained by the HOA unless city accepts park Possible PIF eligible if on the 6-year CIP
