7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
Cerro Villa Park, located at 5850 Crest de Ville in the City of Orange consists of 26.7 acres of
undeveloped park land. The land, which was a former County of Orange landfill was acquired
from the County by the City in 1982 for park and recreational purposes.
In 2001, a Master Plan for Cerro Villa Park was developed by David Volz Design, which
involved several community outreach meeting and was presented to the City of Orange Parks
Planning and Development Commission in 2002. At that time, funding was not available for
construction of the project or to complete environmental reviews, so the project was put on hold.
In 2004, the City's first dog park was established on a temporary basis at Yorba Park, which was
also a former County of Orange landfill. The improvements for the Dog Park at Yorba Park
were funded by a non -profit group, and were installed by the City. The Dog Park has proven to
be a challenge to maintain, due to settling on the site as a result of the former landfill and
restrictions on the amount of irrigation water that can be utilized at the site. In addition, shade
structure, cannot be installed or trees planted in the former landfill area. The amount of usage
by patrons and their dogs at the dog park, combined with the irrigation challenges has led to
difficulty providing the quality of turf and other amenities desired at the dog park.
Staff is considering relocating the Dog Park to Cerro Villa Park, which has been proposed to be a
passive park. The location and mix of proposed passive uses make Cerro Villa an attractive
option for relocation of the Dog Park.
The Cerro Villa Master Plan update will consider the Dog Park use as it would integrate with the
other proposed uses at Cerro Villa Park. Since the scope of work involves an update to the
existing Cerro Villa Master Plan, a proposal was solicited from David Volz Design, who
prepared the original Master Plan for Cerro Villa. Staff has negotiated with David Volz Design
to provide the update for a base fee of $34,330. If additional community meetings, presentations
to the Planning Commission or City Council or additional design drawings or studies are desired,
these services could be provided at an extra cost of up to $14,048. Including these alternate
services, the total contract award is recommended to be an amount not to exceed $48,378.
Upon approval of the agreement with David Volz Design, an update to the existing proposed
Master Plan for Cerro Villa will be developed with community input in June /July 2014, and City
Council review is anticipated in the Fall of 2014.
