Rezone the164.56-acre Hughes Stadium to the Public Open Lands District for “parks, recreation, and open lands, natural areas, and wildlife rescue and restoration”(complete). Acquire the property (in progress). The ballot language gives the City flexibility in how to develop the site. Some existing uses and services will likely be preserved (e.g., disc golf, retention area). There are several constraints on the land, and development of any scenarios is not currently budgeted. Ballot Language & Background 4 Engagement Process Engaging recreation groups, wildlife interests, raptor rescue and care interests, Indigenous Peoples, adjacent landowners/residents, and the public to supplement the feedback received from the community to date. Outreach will help the City understand potential future uses and development scenarios for the land, which will then be presented to City Council. Kearns & West’s role is to ensure that voices and preferences for the site are heard and considered for City Council review. 5 6PriorEngagement -What We’ve Heard Engagement efforts build upon previous engagement around the Hughes property.So far, the City has heard the following input: Protect views of the foothills. Create community space for recreation and nature. Consider environmental protections and buffers for nature. Maintain and increase access to nearby natural areas. Increase trails, bicycle, and pedestrian infrastructure. 7NovemberFocusGroups-What We’ve Heard During the November Focus Groups, the City heard desires to: Maintain connections to nature and the feeling of being in open space. Maintain the community character of the site. Help the City become a regional destination for bike riders and wildlife enthusiasts. Create a multi-use recreational space (encompassing a bike park and “lower footprint” activities). Create a wildlife rehabilitation center and a space for wildlife-related education opportunities. Provide a space that inspires residents to explore new hobbies or nature. 8NextSteps Continued outreach to capture key themes, areas of alignment, and areas of concern. Board and commission outreach and discussion. Kearns & West will develop scenarios for City Council review in early 2023.

What have you heard from the community to date? Do you have a view on what uses (within the parameters of the ballot language) should be prioritized? What do you see as the keys to success for ensuring an effective, inclusive engagement process? Is there anyone you know who should be involved in this process, who is not currently? Discussion 10
