11. Brief Description of Project (please describe the scope and nature of this project):
The City of Pueblo is requesting funds to assist in the completion of a parks master plan for the City of
Pueblo and the urbanized areas of Pueblo County. The funding request would assist in the completion
of five tasks including: 1) four public meetings within the designated park quadrant areas with citizens
and stakeholder groups to gather public input; 2) a needs and trends assessment for Pueblo's parks
system that analyzes the existing park and facilities and formulates input from the public process; 3) a
prioritized facility improvement plan based on the needs and trends analysis; 4) a five -year capital
expenditure plan that takes into account future park needs, renovation needs of existing parks, and the
development of facilities at new parks; and 5) mapping for the master plan that can be imported into
the City and County's GIS systems and linked to the park and facilities inventory. A final master plan
report will be completed (See attached draft Scope of Services approved by the City of Pueblo Planning
Department.)
Primary Goals /Objectives for the
Pueblo Parks Master Plan Project
The parks master plan will address the following:
1. The completion of a system -wide Master Plan that integrates previously completed plans that
independently addressed trails, open space, and natural resource needs. The Master Plan will
also direct the agencies in developing a comprehensive countywide parks system.
2. The future development of a 2,000 acre regional park, the renovation of existing neighborhood
and school parks, upgrades at City Park (182 acres), Mineral Palace Park (54 acres) and
Pueblo Mountain Park (611 acres), and develop a strategy for acquiring and developing future
district parks ( +/- 100 acre) in the East and Far South quadrants of the City.
3. Update the inventory of existing parks and facilities that will be used in conjunction with public
input to complete a trends and needs assessment for the Pueblo parks, trails, and open space
system. The inventory will be completed by the City of Pueblo, with in -kind assistance from
Pueblo School District No. 60, School District No. 70, Pueblo West & Colorado City
Metropolitan Districts, along with faculty and students from the University of Southern
Colorado.
4. Develop a funding plan that establishes a prioritized 5 -year capital program that addresses
future park acquisition needs, renovation needs of existing parks, and the development of
facilities at new parks.
5. A Parks Master Plan document that includes the park and facility inventory, needs analysis,
prioritized facility needs, 5 -year capital program, and mapping that will be linked to the City
and County GIS system.
End Products/Deliverables to be Completed for the
Pueblo Parks Master Plan Project
Parks Inventory will be completed by the City and partners including identification of all parks,
acreage, equipment, facility improvements, ownership, classifications, age and condition of
existing parks. The inventory will include a narrative and aerial photos with facilities labeled at
each site. The information will be organized into the City's four planning districts and the
urbanized areas of the County.
2. Trends Analysis that compares Pueblo's park facilities to typical regional park standards, and
identifies future parks and facility needs based on demographic profiles, population projections
and current parks & recreation trends. The City staff will complete the park standards,
demographic profile, population projections. The consultant will prepare the future park and
facility needs, and the trends analysis.
3. Recommendation on changes to subdivision regulations will be completed by the City which
includes identifying minimum size, land dedication, fees in lieu of land dedication and criteria
for acceptance of land proposed for park dedication for the City of Pueblo and Pueblo County.
4. Complete a 5 -Year Capital Development Schedule that includes a fiscally constrained capital
improvement plan that includes the costs of new parks and facilities; as well as, the additional
operation and maintenance costs of the new facilities.
5. A Final Master Plan document that is a compilation of the project tasks. The documents will
also be provided in an electronic format.
