DATE: January -28, 1992
AGENDA REPORT i
City Manager Approv
Item to be presentefy:
Lynn M. Harris
SUBJECT: Consideration of Sports Canyon Development, Inc. and Recreation
Technologists, Inc. to work with City staff relating to the
preliminary work for a family entertainment center
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND:
At its meeting of January 14, 1992, the City. Council deliberated on the family
entertainment center report. The item was continued to the January 28, 1992
meeting to 'allow for staff to meet with Mr. Richard Jewett to discuss his
proposed Sports Canyon development.
Upon City Council direction, staff met with Mr. Jewett on January 15, 1992.
Mr. Jewett informed the staff team that he has been proceeding with his
project, unaware that the City had initiated attraction efforts for a family
entertainment facility. Staff believes that City recreational needs possibly
could be served by either recreational entertainment firm. Further, this
action gives the City an opportunity to utilize one of the two firms as a
secondary resource if one firm is unable to complete the project.
Mr. Jewett's proposal is similar to the. Rec Tech proposal and includes a
clubhouse, childcare facility, and baseball, volleyball, golf, and baseball
uses. Mr. Jewett tentatively has secured a site of approximately 30-40 acres
near Golden Triangle and Soledad Canyon Roads, which is part of Tract 42670.
(Tract 42670 has not yet received final map approval from the City.)
Both Sports Canyon Development, Inc. and Recreation Technologists, Inc. are
not requesting any financial incentives from the City at this time.
RECOMMENDATION•
1. Staff to work with both Recreation Technologists, Inc. and Sports Canyons
Development, Inc..in the preliminary project planning stages;
2. Work with Recreation Technologists, Inc. to conduct a site/product
feasibility study to augment City needs and services recognizing private
