2022 Parks, Recreation & Open Space (PROS) Plan adopted June, 2022
Started in early 2021, the regular six-year update of the Parks, Recreation & Open Space (PROS) Plan was finalized late June, 2022 through approval of the City Council. The process included a robust community engagement process with focused effort to reach non-traditional participants. Public outreach included a community survey, which received 1,958 responses (available in Chinese, English, Korean and Spanish); two virtual public meetings (simultaneous interpretation in Chinese, Korean and Spanish); Stakeholder group discussions and one-on-one interviews; tabling and outreach at community events and ongoing social media and email feedback.
The Planning Board deliberated the PROS Plan draft eight (8) times since January 27, 2021 including work sessions, reviews, a subcommittee meeting and two Public Hearings. In addition, there was considerable public comment submitted to the project email address of [email protected] during the project. Those public comments, along with the Planning Board’s unanimous approval with recommended revisions were provided to City Council during the Council’s Public Hearing process.
The City Council was presented, reviewed, discussed and provided feedback seven (7) times from February through June. Another robust set of public written and verbal comments were received during the Council Public Hearing held March 15 and continued to March 22, 2022. The Council provided requests for revisions to the draft Plan which resulted in the final draft that was approved on June 28, 2022.
