SUMMARY:
Staff presented proposed County Park Project Review Process Guidelines at the June 7, 2018 Park Commission meeting.

Staff has prepared Guidelines in the form of a general outline. Implementation will largely depend on the type of proposal submitted, the scope of work involved, and the associated opportunities and constraints. In addition to the Park Project Review process, staff developed an Application and associated Fee Waiver Form to be used by the project sponsor for submitting a proposal (Attachment D - Application Form and Attachment E - Fee Waiver Form).
Projects will be reviewed by RMA-Parks and appropriate other County Departments (possibly the Development Review Committee), Parks Commission, and Planning Commission if required (CEQA, Entitlement).
