MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL 
BREIT ESTES, CITY MANAGER 
PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED 
ASTORIA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT A16-03 TO 
INCLUDE THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMPREHENSIVE 
MASTER PLAN 
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS 
In 2015, the Astoria City Council adopted a goal to complete a system-wide Parks and 
Recreation Master Plan. The plan would provide guidance and policy direction for 
Astoria's parks, aquatics center, recreation center, and recreational programs. In 
September 2015 a planner was hired to manage the project through University of 
Oregon Community Service Center's Resource Assistance for Rural Environments 
(RARE) program, and a 12-member Citizen Advisory Committee was appointed by the 
Mayor to oversee the process. 
The planning process included research on the current inventory and state of the Parks 
and Recreation Department's facilities and services, their use by the community, and 
priorities for the future. Over 1,200 community members participated through public 
meetings, surveys, and focus groups. A comparison with State of Oregon 
recommendations, peer parks and recreation providers, and national trends was also 
made to help assess facilities and services provided by the City of Astoria. The result of 
this research, with the guidance of the Citizen Advisory Committee, was a set of 
recommended actions. The recommendations were then refined through community 
input, and a strategy for implementation was developed that included estimated project 
costs, target completion dates, and necessary staff capacity. 
The Astoria Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Master Plan outlines the planning 
process, research findings, inventory and existing conditions, level of service, needs, 
recommendations, and implementation strategy. Recommended actions include 
maintenance and planning initiatives, communications and marketing objectives, 
operational strategies, partnerships, and capital projects to be implemented over the 
next ten years. Throughout that period, the document is intended to serve as a guide to 
the City of Astoria in making future decisions about parks. The document would be 
updated at regular intervals in the future to ensure the City continues to inspire and 
meet the open space and recreational needs of its community. 
The Citizen Advisory Committee and Parks and Recreation Advisory Board have 
recommended that the City adopt the Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Master 
Plan in the Astoria Comprehensive Plan Section CP.028.J pertaining to "Background 
Plans and Studies". It also recommended that the City amend Comprehensive Plan 
Section CP.275 pertaining to Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Element, with the 
addition of a Policy to read as follows: 
"25. The City should use the Astoria Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Master 
Plan, dated 2016, to guide future decisions for land use, public investment, and 
determining community needs." 
At its June 28, 2016 meeting the Astoria Planning Commission held a public hearing 
and recommended unanimously that the City Council adopt the proposed amendment. 
A copy of the Staff Report and Findings of Fact as adopted by the Planning Commission 
is attached. Also attached to this memo is the proposed ordinance. A public hearing on 
the Amendment has been advertised and is scheduled for the July 5, 2016 City Council 
meeting. 
RECOMMENDATION 
It is recommended that the Council hold a public hearing and adopt the ordinance as 
recommended by the Planning Commission, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, and 
Citizen Advisory Committee. If the Council is in agreement with the recommendation, it 
would be in order for Council to hold a first reading of the Ordinance.

COM:MUNITY DEVELOPMENT 
May 17, 2016 
TO: ASTORIA PLANNING COMMISSION 
FROM: KEVIN A. CRONIN, AICP, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR 
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT REQUEST (A 16-03) BY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 
DIRECTOR TO AMEND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR ADDITION OF PARKS 
AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN . 
I. BACKGROUND SUMMARY 
A. Applicant: Ian Sisson 
Parks and Recreation Department 
City of Astoria 
1997 West Marine Drive 
Astoria OR 97103 
B. Request: Amend the Astoria Comprehensive Plan to add the new Parks and 
Recreation Master Plan. 
C. Location: Citywide 
D. Previous Applications: Not applicable 
II. BACKGROUND 
The City Council set a FY 2015-16 goal to "Develop a City of Astoria parks master plan." 
In August 2015 the Parks and Recreation Department began the development of a new 
master plan to guide new facilities, investment, maintenance, and operations of parks, 
recreation, open space, trails, and other park related resources. This is the first known 
master plan for a park system that has existed for over a hundred years. The new master 
plan meticulously identifies the existing inventory of assets, calibrates existing and 
planned levels of service, determines future needs, and makes recommendations to 
implement the master plan over a 15 year period. The process included extensive public 
involvement: surveys, focus groups, open houses, a Mayor appointed citizen advisory 
committee, and various City Board and Commission input. 
The proposed text amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is to adopt the Parks Master 
Plan as a land use document to guide parks and open space land needs for the next 
fifteen years. The Statewide Land Use Planning Goals include 19 goals that guide how 
cities and counties manage growth and natural resources. Specifically, ·Goal 5: Natural

111. 
IV. 
Resources and Open Space and Goal 8: Recreation needs to be addressed in a 
Comprehensive Plan. The Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Element of the 
Comprehensive Plan CP. 260 - CP .275 has not been substantially updated since the 
original plan was adopted in 1981. However, the Plan was updated after the Trails Master 
Plan was completed in 2006. 
One of the key conclusions of the master plan is to manage the existing inventory of land 
more efficiently and not add additional parks and open space. Therefore, the proposed 
amendment doesn't contemplate the addition of new lands within the existing urban 
growth boundary. In the future, the City will consider reallocating existing lands to 
repurpose for other land needs where there is a deficit based on the Buildable Lands 
Inventory. 
The proposed amendment to the Parks Element of the Comprehensive Plan will be as 
follows: 
23. The City should use the Astoria Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Master Plan 
(2016) to guide future decisions for land use, public investment, and determining 
community needs. 
PUBLIC REVIEW AND COMMENT 
A. Astoria Planning Commission 
The Planning Commission held a work session open to the public on April 26 
where the Commission reviewed the purpose and intent of the master plan. In 
accordance with Section 9.020, a notice of public hearing was published in the 
Daily Astorian on May 17, 2016. The proposed amendment is legislative (Type IV) 
as it applies citywide. Finally, notice of Planning Commission meetings is also 
broadcast via email to those on an interested parties list. 
B. City Council 
The City Council is expected to hold a public hearing on July 5, 2016 if the 
Planning Commission recommends approval of the amendment. 
FINDINGS OF FACT 
A. Development Code Section 10.020.A states that "an amendment to the text of the 
Development Code or the Comprehensive Plan may be initiated by the City 
Council; Planning Commission, the Community Development Director, a person 
owning property in the City, or a City resident." 
Finding: The proposed amendment to the Comprehensive Plan is being initiated 
by the Community Development Director. 
8. Section 10.050(A) states that "The following amendment actions are considered 
legislative under this Code: 
2 
T:\General CommDev\APC\Permits\Amendments\2016\A 16-03 - Parks Master Plan\A 16-03_Parks Master Plan_Staff Report & Findings.doc 
1. An amendment to the text of the Development Code or Comprehensive 
Plan. 
Finding: The proposed amendment is to add text of the Comprehensive Plan 
Parks and Open Space Element. The amendment would reference the new Parks 
Master Plan but does not propose any other changes to the goals and policies 
section. The proposed amendment is applicable to the entire Comprehensive Plan 
and therefore a citywide policy. Processing as a legislative action is required. 
C. Section 10.070(A)(1) concerning Text Amendments, requires that "The 
amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan." 
1. CP.005(5), General Plan Philosophy and Policy Statement states that local 
comprehensive plans "Shall be regularly reviewed, and, if necessary, 
revised to keep them consistent with the changing needs and desires of the 
public they are designed to serve." 
Finding: The City Council adopted a FY 15-16 goal to develop a Parks 
Master Plan. The Community Development Director initiated the text 
amendment to comply with land use planning goals. 
2. CP .015(1 ), General Land & Water Goals states that "It is the primary goal of 
the Comprehensive Plan to maintain Astoria's existing character by 
encouraging a compact urban form, by strengthening the downtown core 
and waterfront areas, and by protecting the residential and historic 
character of the City's neighborhoods. · ft is the intent of the Plan to promote 
Astoria as the commercial, industrial, tourist, and cultural center of the 
area." 
Finding: The proposed amendment outlines the future development of a 
parks and recreation system in support of a compact urban form providing a 
balance of services to tourists and local residents alike. The proposed 
ordinance is intended to provide the guidance to help achieve these goals. 
3. CP.470(1), Citizen Involvement states that "Citizens, including residents 
and property owners, shall have the opportunity to be involved in all phases 
of the planning efforts of the City, including collection of data and the 
development of policies." 
Finding: The development of the master plan was completed with 
unprecedented public involvement. In addition to a work session, the 
Planning Commission received a presentation on March 22. Notices were 
sent to interested parties via an email list, and posted to the City website. 
Anyone interested in the proposed changes was encouraged to submit 
suggestions and comments. 
D. Section 10.070(A)(2) concerning Text Amendments requires that "The amendment 
will not adversely affect the ability of the City to satisfy land and water use needs." 
3 
T:\General CommDev\APC\Permits\Amendments\2016\A 16-03 - Parks Master P/an\A 16-03_Parks Master Plan_Staff Report & Findings.doc 
Finding: The proposed amendment does not directly address impacts to water 
use needs. However, it does address land needs by concluding that no additional 
land is necessary and any excess parks or open space that is designated in the 
future by the City Council can be disposed and reallocated to benefit future land 
needs for residential or commercial purposes. This determination can occur 
separately or as part of the plan amendment decision. 
V. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION 
The request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as well as implements a City 
Council goal. Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend. adoption of 
the proposed amendment to the City Council and schedule a public hearing to -take public 
comment.

TEXT UPDATES TO ASTORIA PARKS AND RECREATION 
COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN 
Attached are two pages highlighting text changes that have been made to the draft 
Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Master Plan. The following changes were made: 
• In section 3.5 "Indoor Facilities Managed by Astoria Parks and Recreation", two 
facilities were identified as missing from the inventory table, and have since been 
added: Astoria Batting Cages at 200 Tapiola Park Loop, 6,000 square feet, in 
good condition; Pioneer Cemetery Mausoleum at 15th & Niagara, 150 square 
feet, in poor condition. This brings the total square feet for this category to 71,300 
(up from 65,150). 
• In section 4.2 "Parkland: Level of Service", a column has been added to the table 
that shows a projection for acres of parkland per 1,000 residents in Astoria in the 
year 2030. The calculation assumes no change in the current acreage of 
parkland provided by the City, and a 1 % annual population growth. This column 
was added to help identify future system needs and can be used to help in 
determining the appropriate amount of parkland provided by the City. 
RECOMMENDATION 
The Astoria Planning Commission should include the changes as shown in their 
recommendation of the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment, A 16-03.

is not include Ocean View Cemetery (100 acres} 
lities managed by other agencies contribute to meeting this need. 
·e is generally a lack of sufficient land area in Astoria to accommodate "Regional Sports Parks" as defined 
egon State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan. It was determined that the need for this type of 
met sufficiently, between a number of private and public facilities that are offered within Astoria and its 
ing communities. 
oximately 1 acre would be added, should the City of Astoria complete the development of Heritage 
t which point the recommendation for Urban Plaza Parks would be met.

The following findings will replace the findings in staff report A16-03 dated May 17, 2016: 
D. Section 10.070{A}(2} concerning Text Amendments requires that "The amendment will not 
adversely affect the ability of the City to satisfy land and water use needs. 11 
The proposed amendment does not directly affect impacts to water use needs. It does not adversely 
affect future land use needs. In terms of projecting future land needs, the plan identifies a higher than 
normal !evel of parkland per capita and several under-utilized sites, which warrants further investigation 
as to land that could be repurposed to satisfy other City land use needs to maintain a 20 year supply of 
residential or commercial land. The future designation of lands for other purposes will require additional 
analysis and public process separate from the proposed plan amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
