Project Description
The City's Outdoor Sports Center and Aquatics Center continue to be a regional draw and an economic
development engine as hundreds of thousands of visitors use these facilities annually. In addition, both of these
facilities provide local residents with valuable community resources. Parking at these facilities is limited and
expansion is necessary. The planned expansion of the facilities would integrate the parking and adjacent areas
into a master planned design for the entire site.
It is anticipated that this land acquisition will occur through a lease with an option to purchase. It is anticipated
that the acquired space will provide for immediate temporary parking. Minor improvements would occur once
leased in FY 16/17. This project calls for the permanent development of the acquired land in FY 20/21 after the
option to purchase has been executed. This project was identified during the needs assessment performed prior
to reinstating the City's Recreation Center Impact Fee.
Project Justification
The popularity and use of the Aquatics Center and Outdoor Sports Center continues to grow. As the Community
continues to grow additional parking is required to accommodate use of the facilities.
