REVIEW OF CHARRETTE TWO • Forty neighbors were in attendance to identify desired amenities and features for a new Glens neighborhood park. • Each table of attendees had the opportunity to design their “ideal park” and were encouraged to dream big about their last chance for a park in the Glens. • While size and scope of the “ideal parks” varied from group to group, there were consistent themes throughout each one, including interest in an off-leash dog park, tennis courts, outdoor exercise equipment and green space. • Connectivity continues to be a primary theme. The incorporation of trails and gathering places like picnic tables and benches were also included in every design. • The amenities/features which received the most votes were bathrooms (19 votes), shade structure (18 votes) and outdoor workout equipment (18 votes). • The inclusion of lighting and bathrooms were debated, but ultimately, attendees agreed that safety was of the utmost importance. • Complete summary available on website (www.connecttheglens.com) THE JUNIPERS THE JUNIPERS

NEIGHBORHOOD CIRCULATION RANCHO PEÑASQUITOS COMMUNITY PLAN • Developers of all future residential, commercial and industrial projects in Rancho Peñasquitos must participate in building or funding needed transportation improvements identified in this Plan and further defined in the Public Facilities Financing Plan. • Each new development should contribute its fair share to needed transportation improvements based on traffic, transit ridership and population expected to be generated by the development. • Adequate vehicular and pedestrian access should be available to serve all significant community resources and public facilities with an emphasis on safety, aesthetics and integration of facilities. • A continuous pedestrian and bicycle system should be provided throughout the community focused on open space areas and minimizing conflicts with motor vehicles.
