EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OVERVIEW The Chambers Creek Regional Park Central Meadow Stage Study was initiated in March 2019 by Pierce County Parks and Recreation Department (Parks) with a grant from the Pierce County Lodging Tax Program (LTAC). The study assesses the feasibility, benefits, and challenges of integrating an events stage within the Central Meadow and identifies the best locations for other public amenities. This report details the existing conditions, feasibility study process, community engagement process, and resulting recommendations. Chambers Creek Park is one of the region’s most significant public open spaces, renowned for its natural beauty, walking trails, generous open space, iconic relics, and breathtaking views. It is also a point of convergence - a place where diverse users enjoy community activities ranging from family gatherings to regional celebrations such as the Kite Festival and Easter Egg Hunt. A full discussion of existing conditions can be found in Section 1. This study explored how improvements such as an event stage, picnic shelters, and electrical facilities could support more diverse community uses. The study also examined key community concerns regarding a possible stage, most notably acoustics, parking, traffic management, and protections of Chambers Creek Park’s unique beauty and identity. The Stage Study goals and objectives summarized below were identified early in the community engagement process, and will guide Pierce County Parks as it evaluates community input and possible future implementation of an events stage, picnic shelters and related enhancements to Chambers Creek Meadow. The timing of this study was necessary to determine power supply requirements and identify locations for electrical improvements for the best short- and long-term uses of the site. The site plan below presents the preferred location of a potential events stage along the south edge of the existing Meadow, with possible future picnic shelters situated along the north side of the meadow. The south stage location was preferred in public meetings and on-line surveys since it provides good solar orientation, minimizes impact to the Central Meadow, takes advantage of existing natural slopes, and provides good event stage access without conflicting with the central meadow. Strong public interest was expressed for picnic shelters as a means to provide shade and accommodate family gatherings and smaller events. The following pages provide a summary of the public outreach, acoustical, parking and traffic analyses, stage options, and other community concerns identified and analyzed during this study.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OVERVIEW The Community engagement process for this project included in-person and online opportunities. The in-person engagement was conducted through three public open houses that were held on weekdays 6-8 pm, at the Environmental Services Building. Each public open house included interactive boards, a design presentation, a Q& A session, and meet and greet opportunities before and after the presentation. The public open houses were advertised through mailers, print and social media, and banners and flyers posted around the park. First public open house: May 21, 2019 Second public open house: June 27, 2019 Third public open house: August 6, 2019 Attendees at public meetings provided constructive feedback that guided the stage studyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progression and helped to determine the content for subsequent public meetings. Feedback received during the public open houses is outlined in Section 2: Community Engagement. The primary online engagement was received through two online surveys that were sent out after the second and third public open house meetings. The feedback received from these surveys along with e-mailed comments also shaped the stage study. Feedback from online participation can be found in Appendix A: Public Outreach Data. MARKET ANALYSIS OVERVIEW A Market Analysis Study was conducted to assess the Central Meadowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential for hosting events. The analysis used statistics, market trends, and interviews with promoters to assess the site. The analysis revealed that the optimal capacity for summer concerts or other events would be in the 3,000-5,000 person range. The character of those events is not covered, only the logistical requirements related to their size and scale. A summary of the analysis is included in Section 3: Market Analysis, and the full analysis is provided as Appendix B.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SITE STUDIES OVERVIEW The stage study analyzed several key site considerations; access to and from the site and proposed stage locations, acoustics, parking, traffic and local and regional market factors. In order to fully explore these considerations, multiple means of engagement and analysis were utilized in developing the stage study. The public open houses and online surveys identified support for an event stage, however there were significant community concerns, including traffic, parking, acoustics, and possible impacts to current park uses. The 3,000-5,000 person range for events was factored into an event Traffic Management Plan (TMP), included as Appendix C, which evaluated current traffic conditions and analyzed the worst case scenario of a weekday event during the school year. The TMP proposed traffic management strategies to minimize traffic congestion for events with up to 5,000 attendees. The TMP illustrates that prior to events, the incoming event traffic is distributed over a larger timeframe caused by early arrivers to late arrivers. This would have a smaller effect on the background traffic. After an event, the clearing would happen all at once and require approximatly 1.5 hours to clear. Note, the clearing would happen in the 9:00pm to 10:00pm range when the background traffic would be at its lowest. Key recommendations included placing entrance and exit locations to facilitate traffic flow and minimize impacts on surrounding neighborhoods. Further recommendations included event traffic notice signs and traffic control officers at intersections to help distribute traffic and minimize congestion. Further discussion of Traffic can be found in Section 4. Event parking would be accommodated by the new Event Lawn, recently completed as part of a separate project to accommodate sporting events. It is projected to accommodate up to 1,400 parking spaces in a temporary onlawn configuration. Details can be found in Section 5: Parking and Access. An acoustical analysis assessed existing acoustical levels, and the projected noise contour map for an event stage at the west and south locations. Further discussion of this information can be found in Section 6 and the full acoustical analysis report can be found as Appendix D of this report. The analysis of the existing acoustical events suggested that a stage located toward the western end of the central meadow would be heavily impacted by train noise, while the south location would be significantly less impacted. The noise contour maps suggested that the south stage location would direct less sound toward the neighboring residences than a stage located at the west end location. Traffic and acoustics were noted in the public meetings and on-line surveys as the most significant community concerns and would require more detailed study if the project proceeds to a design phase.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OTHER FINDINGS AND CONSIDERATIONS Stage Size and Configuration The stage study, detailed in Section 7 focused on defining the location, size, and basic requirements for a flexible stage that would meet diverse performance and community needs. The study also developed preliminary three-dimensional renderings to demonstrate potential stage configurations for community input and review. The optimal stage size is forty feet deep by sixty feet wide with 2,400 square feet of stage platform area. It should be arranged to provide backstage entry positions and be fully ADA accessible. This stage size allows for a range of performance types and necessary support equipment. The stage is proposed to face north, giving both performers and audience optimal solar orientation/visibility. Options for permanent or seasonal roof structures were presented for community input, with most respondents preferring an adjustable or fully removable roof structure. A removable or movable roof canopy could allow the stage area to accommodate both performance and nonperformance uses by adjusting the height or character of the overhead structure as demonstrated in the images below. Picnic Shelters Picnic shelters were envisioned to be multifunctional, primarily used for everyday activities, while also serving as focal points for larger events, offering opportunities for formal or informal gathering areas for members of the community. The picnic shelters would be approximately twenty five feet deep by thirty feet wide. Electrical Improvements A valuable step in broadening public uses of the site would be creating electrical capabilities in the meadow to serve existing and potential future events and activities.

PASSIVE / RECREATIONAL USE

ATTRIBUTES:

The intent of these amenities, detailed in Section 8: Findings, is to enhance event capabilities, while also supporting existing events, passive use activities, and the unique character of Chambers Creek Central Meadow now and in the future. A Preferred Site Plan, including the locations for a stage and picnic shelters can be found on page 9.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

• Telescoping columns allow entire roof structure to be lowered for smaller scale uses. • Lowered roof height matches scale of picnic shelters, thus allowing the stage to have a smaller visual presence. • Moveable backdrop can open up for non-event uses.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NEXT STEPS This study met the goals of the LTAC grant. Through a robust public process, a preferred stage style and size were determined, as were preferred picnic shelter locations and the placement of electrical facilities. While the driving force of this study was the stage, impacts of hosting events in the Central Meadow were included. An electrical service is being constructed in early 2020 which will accommodate potential future picnic shelters and support smaller events which may include art or music. Parks could seek opportunities to fund, design and construct other amenities to encourage the public to enjoy the meadow in new ways. Picnic shelters offer community gathering spaces and would allow the public to gather, seek shade and enjoy the meadow in all types of weather. Any construction would be consistent with the 2014 Chambers Creek Master Plan Update and would follow the Update’s adopted design standards. For picnic shelters to be constructed in the short-term, the next steps are necessary: 1. Identify funding 2. Finalize conceptual design and invite public input, approximate cost $20,000* 3. Design and permitting, approximate cost $30,000* 4. Construction, approximate cost $175,000* for all three shelters For the Chamber Creek Meadow Stage to become an eventual reality, the next steps and approximate timelines would be necessary: 1. Identify and obtain funding 2. Finalize public outreach on events at the Central Meadow – 8-12 months, approximate cost $60,000* 3. Issue a Request for Proposals for a public-private partnership with an event promoter 4. Develop an agreement with promoter regarding event details (number of events/year, site security, parking fees and collection, site control, public access and openness during events, etc.) - Steps 2 and 3 combined - 8-12 months 5. Schematic design of stage and outreach with promoter – 8 months, approximate cost $71,800* * All cost shown in 2019 dollars 6. Complete design and permitting of stage – 1 year, approximate cost $133,400* escalation will be required for 7. Construction, approximate cost $2,050,000* implementation in future years.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

SECTION 1: EXISTING CONDITIONS The Central Meadow is a unique and well-loved feature within Chambers Creek Regional Park, a regional facility with public and private capacity, unique amenities, visitorship and cost-recovery expectations in addition to daily uses. The Central Meadow is host to spectacular views, beautiful open fields, mining relics, and various, well-used walking trails. The project team began their site analysis by identifying the natural and built features that define the unique character of the Central Meadow. The Central Meadow has a microclimate that is characterized by prevailing winds from the north and south and a solar orientation featuring the harshest glare coming from the west in the summer season. The topography of the Central Meadow is relatively flat, but contains various gentle slopes in the western and central bowl areas. One of the most striking natural features of the site are the views out to the Puget Sound and islands beyond. The Park’s trail system is well used throughout the year, going around and beyond the Central Meadow, giving access to a bridge to the beach and passage through the golf course. The mining relics are also key features beloved by park visitors. The relic located at the west end of the Central Meadow has been nicknamed “the swing set”.

The BNSF Railway in the western edge of the site contributes to the sight lines and sound-scape of the Central Meadow. The trains run approximately every twenty to thirty minutes and give off enough noise to be audible throughout the meadow. The only building open to the public is the restroom building located at the east end of the central meadow. HISTORY Chambers Creek Regional Park encompasses a total of nine hundred and thirty acres. From around 1890, parts of the current park were occupied by two large gravel mines. Chambers Bay Golf course and Central Meadow areas were gravel mining sites. In 1992, the two mining operations merged to become the largest producer of gravel and sand in the nation. Large scale mining continued in the area until 2003, when the reclamation of the Chambers Creek Properties began. CURRENT USES The Central Meadow is currently host to various public events, put on by Pierce County Parks, such as the Egg Hunt and Kite Festival. In 2015, the site hosted the U.S. Open Golf tournament. Chambers Bay Golf Course Su m

SECTION 2: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT The project team actively engaged the community throughout the Stage Study, with three public open houses, on-line communications, and two on-line surveys. The extensive outreach and community dialogue enabled the team to integrate community preferences and to focus on particular areas of community concern in more detail as the study progressed. Each Phase of the study built upon comments and insights that the project team received during the public open house and related on-line survey. Any comments given after the completion of the public meetings would be assessed and incorporated where possible in the Design phase. The key messages and community input from each open house and on-line survey are summarized in the following community engagement section.

Public Open House #1 May 21, 2019 To gauge public interest and solicit feedback prior to developing concept studies, the project team hosted an open house on Tuesday, May 21, from six to eight p.m. at the Environmental Services Building, 9850 64th Street W, University Place, WA 98467. Summary of Community Feedback: Location Preferences Attendees noted that a stage close to the train tracks would be impacted more by the train noise. Other attendees noted that they would not like the stage locations to impact the trail system and open expansive character of the park. Precedent Preferences Several attendees noted that stages with fixed overhead components would be less desirable because they visually impact the open nature of the park and visually compete with the historic relics. There was some interest shown in small stage structures that could serve as picnic shelters or amenities to the general public when events were not taking place. Public Comments and Concerns

Regarding notification methods, open house attendees suggested:

•Engaging a larger mailing area

•Handing out and posting flyers in the park

•Sending out an e-mail through Connie Ladenburg’s newsletter

•Submitting an article to University Place’s newsletter

Attendees expressed a few concerns around building a stage, including:

•Increased congestion from the cumulative impact of both resort & events

•Decreased parking availability

•Decreased visibility around the stage as a safety concern

•Concern that sound from events at the stage would impact the adjacent houses

For future events in Central Meadow, attendees suggested:

•Installing a Bocce ball court

•Providing access to the new event lawn under construction.

Public Open House #2 June 27, 2019 To gauge public interest and solicit feedback on early stage concepts from the study, the project team hosted an open house on Thursday, June 27, 2019, from six to eight p.m. at the Environmental Services Building (9850 64th Street W, University Place, WA) and hosted an online survey on the project website from June 27 – July 12. Summary of Community Feedback In-person feedback: the open house drew twenty three attendees. Project staff invited questions and comments following the presentation and encouraged attendees to share their feedback by commenting directly on boards around the room or completing paper surveys. Interactive Board Comments: Open house attendees were invited to provide project feedback directly on meeting display boards by indicating preferences with stickers, and through direct dialogue with project team members. Most participants preferred the South Stage Option in the Central Meadow (twelve stickers posted on boards for South option, with one sticker each for the North and West options). In terms of stage roof options, there was greatest interest in a permanent stage with a removable or seasonal overhead structure (eight responses) with the second-highest group indicating a preference for infrastructure only (three responses). For potential future events, the top three suggestions were summer concert series (12), food truck festival (8), and art market / festivals (8). Other suggestions included a 5K run, bocce ball court, concessions/food before and during events, and OGO balls (as used at Roundtop Mountain Resort in PA). Attendees also indicated support for picnic shelters in the Grand Central Meadow (13 responses in favor). Presentation Q&A: attendees shared questions and comments on the following topics: Parking:

•Parking capacity, access and fees associated with event parking •Coordination of parking needs with Chambers Bay Resort

Events: •Types and frequency of events •Impacts during events on neighbors and regular park uses •Opportunity for regional performance space Access and Operations: •Traffic management and access during events • Staffing for event sales, operations, and set up •Partial park closures during events

•Funding sources and tax impacts for residents •Community outreach process

Other:

•Location suggestions and feedback

•Potential impacts to nesting birds Survey responses The community provided over fifty survey responses. This included eight paper surveys from in-person meeting attendees on June 27; 25 complete responses to the online survey; and over twenty partially completed online responses. Both surveys included the same questions. Stage Options 69% of responders expressed support (strong support or somewhat support) for the South stage location in the Central Meadow; 25% said they were opposed (somewhat oppose or strongly oppose); and 6% responded neutral or no opinion. Write-in comments included discussion of the pros and cons of the three sites proposed as well as alternative location suggestions. Topics of Concern When asked about issues of most importance in considering a potential event stage in the Central Meadow, the top three responses were managing additional traffic (76%), ease of finding parking (71%), and compatibility with current park uses (55%). Respondents were able to select more than one issue. Several write-in comments noted concerns about affecting existing trails or the dog park. Potential Future Events: Participants indicated the greatest interest in summer concert series (81%), arts and crafts markets / festivals (72%), food truck festivals (67%), theater and dance performances (56%), and brewers festivals (53%). Stage Roof: Approximately one third of respondents said they support a permanent stage with a removable or seasonal overhead structure. Other respondents were interested in either a full permanent stage with permanent overhead structure (23%) or infrastructure only to support a non-permanent stage (23%). Several write-in comments requested the design blend with the site and be as unobtrusive to views as possible. Others voiced opposition to any type of stage on the site. Picnic Shelters: Over 80% of respondents said they would support the addition of picnic shelters to the park. December 2019

Public Open House #3 (continued) Surveys: The project team received one hundred complete responses to the online survey; eighty partially completed online responses; and nine paper surveys from in-person meeting attendees on Aug. 6. The online and in-person surveys included the same questions. Preferred Concept Support: When asked whether they supported the preferred concept plan as the basis for moving forward, 40% of respondents answered no, 37% responded yes, and 23% said they were undecided. Themes from write-in comments explaining participant’s responses are summarized in subsequent sections below. Stage Roof Options: Participants were asked to share their level of support for four potential stage roof canopy options: permanent stage with permanent roof canopy, permanent stage with permanent structure and movable roof canopy, permanent stage with adjustable height roof canopy, and permanent stage with removable roof canopy. The option with the highest support was the permanent stage with permanent roof canopy (40%). The permanent stage with removable roof canopy was the only option with over 50% opposition (55% somewhat oppose or strongly oppose). “Neutral or no opinion” answers ranged from 14-23% of responses for each option. Comment Themes: concerns among commenters included:

•Impacts to neighborhoods and regular park-goers: noise, traffic congestion, reduced park access

•Limited public awareness of the proposed project and impacts, especially among residents near the park

•Proposed scale and number of annual events (several people noted they would support a stage for smaller-scale & less frequent events)

•Desire to preserve the open space and existing character of the park

•Impacts to current park uses, including dog park at the preferred stage site

•Cumulative impacts between the Chambers Bay Resort project and a potential Central Meadow stage

Other concerns included project funding, crime, litter, pollution, and higher area cost of living.

Public Open House #3 (continued) Ideas for Refinement & Consideration

•Expand bathroom facilities in the Central Meadow

•Add other facilities to complement stage: picnic tables, trees for shade, lighting, trash receptacles

•Coordinate event schedules with other large regional events

•Utilize off-site parking shuttles

•Take proper steps to relieve traffic congestion

•Analyze walkability and bike access in addition to car traffic

•Include drop-off area or paved path from parking to stage for people using wheelchairs, strollers

•Partner with local businesses such as restaurants to encourage local spending from event patrons

•Avoid events with fireworks

•Use biodegradable packaging for all products sold on park grounds

•Negotiate with golf course to consider site below Environmental Services Building

Demographics: Respondents were asked to provide their zip code and age. Most respondents were from University Place (87% responded with 98466 or 98467), with several other zip codes from elsewhere in Pierce County, including Tacoma and Steilacoom. More than 50% of respondents were over fifty five, with the largest percentage between responding their age as 55-64 (25%). Summary of Community Engagement and Input: The public meetings and on-line surveys demonstrated strong interest in a potential events stage, picnic shelters, and related enhancements. The community concerns noted in the third public open house would require careful study and further evaluation if Parks decides to move ahead to the next stage of study.

SECTION 3: MARKET ANALYSIS A Market Analysis was conducted by KO Projects as part of the Stage Study. The Market Analysis Study demonstrated that potential promoters viewed the Central Meadow as a highly attractive location to host a summer concert series. The key considerations identified in the analysis are as follows:

• Chambers Creek would be an optimal location for moderate scale concerts and festivals in South Puget Sound; the area is distinct from the Seattle/Bellevue marketplace. • In the market area, there is little direct competition for concerts with 3,000-5,000 attendees. This event size was confirmed as a concert ‘sweet spot’. • The most mutually beneficial and cost effective model would be to create a public-private partnership between Pierce County Parks and a concert/ festival promoter. • The Promoter/Partner would promote and manage eight to ten events per year. • Pierce County’s revenue from the events would be used to help offset the ongoing maintenance and preservation costs for Chambers Creek Regional Park. • Events are consistent with the park’s regional classification, regional user-base and the Master Plan for the site.

SECTION 4: TRAFFIC ANALYSIS To understand event-related traffic, Fehr & Peers was engaged to develop an analysis of existing traffic conditions and methods to manage traffic during events. An Event Traffic Management Plan (TMP) was developed and presented in the third public meeting. The full Traffic Management Plan is attached as an appendix to this report. The Event Traffic Management Plan (TMP) includes information on data collection, analysis of traffic operations at key study intersections, Creek TMP and potential management strategies for trafficChambers before and after an event. Event traffic was analyzed for the worst-case scenario, a weekday September 19,likely 2019 occur during the summer, on weekends. Event generated traffic is expected event during the school year. However, most events would to increase pre-event southbound travel times by about twelve minutes on Grandview Drive, from Cirque Drive to 64th Street/Chambers Creek Road. Less delay is expected for westbound Chambers Creek Road traffic between Bridgeport Way and the event entrance.

Figure 1: Event Traffic Control

Existing baseline traffic volumes are much lower for post-event departure times because events would let out around ten PM. Adjacent roadways are expected to be heavily congested immediately following each event. Because all event traffic must exit from one access point, effects on existing neighborhood traffic and nearby intersections are expected to be minor. Event traffic is expected to clear within one and a half hours of event completion. Figure 1 shows recommended traffic control practices to be used before and after events. Event traffic notice signs placed in key areas would notify local traffic of events, so they could seek alternate routes. Traffic control officers at intersections near the event parking entrance/exit would work together to distribute traffic and assign right-of-way.

TRAFFIC ANALYSIS

SECTION 5: PARKING & ACCESS Current Parking and Access to The Central Meadow General visitors to Chambers Creek Regional Park Central Meadow typically enter off of a roundabout at Grandview Dr W & 62nd St Ct W. From that access point, they drive down hill and can park for free at the Central Meadow lot located north east of the meadow. There is also pedestrian access to the park via The Grandview Trail, that connects from just north of the main entrance roundabout, down to the Central Meadow. Golf visitors also typically enter off of Grandview Dr W, and can drive to three golf affiliated parking areas; the golf club lot near the top of the hill, the driving range lot behind the restroom building, or the Caddie lot behind the storm water basin. These parking areas are typically only for golf patrons. Access and Parking During a Central Meadow Event: Parking for an event located in the Central Meadow would not be accommodated with the parking lots currently located in the Park. The Event lawn would be used as a temporary parking lot able to accommodate 1490 stalls. The Event lawn’s primary use during the year is a sports event space, and its secondary use would be as a parking lot during a Central Meadow event. Attendees would enter from the south from Chambers Creek Road and pass around the Chamber Creek Wastewater Plant to park in the event lawn area, as shown in the adjacent image. After parking, the attendees would proceed via a broad grass pathway from the event lawn into the Central Meadow. The Central Meadow lot would be left open for general park users during central meadow events. The main park entrance off of Grandview Dr W would remain open for general park users.

SECTION 6: ACOUSTICAL ANALYSIS An Acoustical Analysis was conducted as part of the Chambers Creek Regional Park Central Meadow Stage Study. The analysis consisted of taking noise measurements at three locations in the meadow, P1, P2, &P3, for a three hour period of time, see figure 1. The following is a summary of the effects that the current noise levels in the meadow would have during potential events at each of the three points. An audience located at P1 would be problematic. Measured noise levels exceeded 80 dBA and they would compete with the sound from a music event. Sound levels at P2 & P3 would be compatible with an amplified music event. Sound levels from the music would be expected to be in the 80’s dBA and although a helicopter fly over or train pass-by would be audible, they would not overshadow the music. The northbound freight train would be the longest event. The trains are long and they arrive from the south, being visible and audible for some time prior to arriving in front of the park.

Figures 2 & 3 look at the noise impact that a concert event would have from the south stage location, figure 2, and a west stage location, figure 3.

ACOUSTICAL ANALYSIS

SECTION 7: STAGE STUDY

STAGE CONFIGURATION OPTIONS The stage size would be approximately forty feet by sixty feet and ADA accessible. The character and type of roof canopy was explored with the public to gain an understanding of community preferences and establish a basis for exploration of future roof design options. Precedent images showing alternative roof types were shown during the first and second open houses, as a method of assessing what stage forms the public would have a positive response to. The online survey that followed the second public open house, specifically asked out of four choices “ which type of stage design would you prefer?”, the results were:

33.3% favor a permanent stage with removable or seasonal overhead structure

23.3% favor a permanent stage with permanent overhead structure

23.3% favor infrastructure only (power/water) for a non-permanent movable

stage

20.0% favor none of these

The final design and selection will consider these factors: public preference, producer preference, cost, maintenance and operations and risk assessment.

The three images above are stage examples.

STAGE STUDY

Having identified existing conditions and considering site studies and public input, the team explored various possible stage locations. After Chambers Bay the first public open house, number of possible locations was narrowed down to three. All three locations presented pros and cons, as Golfthe Course seen below. Each location endeavored to incorporate the new event stage into the Central Meadow in a meaningful way to enhance the surrounding landscape. The north and south locations place thee stage outside the central loop, in response to the public’s wish that the Su m Relics m Sols tic meadow remain open and that the trails be maintained. Theer West explored the interest in “the swing set” relic as a backdrop and the bowllike terrain in that area. Winter Sols tice

Chambers Creek Regional Park – Central Meadow Stage Study Pierce County Parks & Recreation

Open House 1: Outreach Summary Overview Pierce County Parks and Recreation is beginning a feasibility study for an event stage in the Central Meadow at Chambers Creek Regional Park. To gauge public interest and solicit feedback, Pierce County Parks and Recreation hosted an open house on Tuesday, May 21, from 6-8 p.m. at the Environmental Services Building, 9850 64th Street W, University Place, WA 98467. The open house included informational displays arranged around the room, with refreshments provided. Project team members greeted attendees at the door where they could sign in. Attendees could peruse the boards, ask project staff any questions they had about the study, and provide feedback via conversations with staff, comment forms, and directly on the boards.

Notifications People were informed about the open house through:     

Flyers Placed in kiosks around the park 157postcards sent to residences located within 300 feet of Chambers Creek Regional Park Two Instagram and Facebook posts shared two weeks before the open house One update to Pierce County’s Chambers Creek Regional Park website Two posts in the Tacoma News Tribune.

Participation

The open house drew four attendees. Attendees were encouraged to share their feedback mostly through one-on-one conversation with project team members.

Open House 1 Outreach Summary

Summary of Community Feedback Location Preferences Of the potential stage locations presented, attendees noted: Some attendees noted that a stage close to the train tracks would be impacted more by the train noise. Other attendees noted that they would not like the stage locations to impact the trail system and open expansive character of the park.

Precedent Likes and Dislikes Several attendees noted that stages with fixed overhead components would be less desirable because they visually impact the open nature of the park and visually compete with the historic relics. There was some interest shown in small stage structures that could serve as picnic shelters or amenities to the general public when events were not taking place.

Public Comments and Concerns Regarding notification methods, open house attendees suggested:    

Engaging a larger mailing area Handing out and posting flyers in the park Sending out an email through Connie Ladenburg’s newsletter Submitting an article to University Place’s newsletter

Attendees expressed a few concerns around building a stage, including:    

Increased congestion from the cumulative impact of both resort customers and events Decreased parking availability Decreased visibility around the stage as a safety concern Concern that sound from events at the stage would impact the adjacent houses

For future events in Central Meadow, attendees suggested:  

Installing a Bocce ball court Providing access to the new event lawn under construction.

Next steps The project team intentionally did not begin developing concept studies until after this first public meeting. The team will develop concept studies and present them at the next open house on June 27th. The public will have an opportunity to provide input on each concept during that open house. Based on community feedback, the project team will select and develop a preferred concept which they will present at the final open house in August.

Interactive board comments With stickers and markers, open house attendees were invited to provide project feedback directly on meeting display boards. Most participants preferred the South Option for the location of a potential stage in the Central Meadow (12 responses, versus 1 response each for the North and West options). In terms of stage design, there was greatest interest in a permanent stage with a removable or seasonal overhead structure (8 responses) with the second-highest group indicating a preference for infrastructure only (3 responses). For potential future events, the top three suggestions were summer concert series (12), food truck festival (8), and art market / festivals (8). Other suggestions included a 5K run, bocce ball court, concessions/food before and during events, and OGO balls (as used at Roundtop Mountain Resort in

Open House 2 Outreach Summary PA). Attendees also indicated support for picnic shelters in the Grand Central Meadow (13 responses in favor).

Survey responses The project team received over 30 survey responses. This included 8 paper surveys from in-person meeting attendees on June 27 and 25 complete responses to the online survey (and over 20 partially completed online responses). Both surveys included the same questions. Stage support and location When asked to indicate their support for an event stage at the South Option location in the Central Meadow, 69% of respondents answered with support (somewhat support or strongly support) and 25% said they opposed (somewhat oppose or strongly oppose) with 6% responding neutral or no opinion. Write-in comments included pros and cons of the three sites proposed and alternative location suggestions. Topics of concern When asked about issues of most importance when considering a potential event stage in the Central Meadow, the top three responses were managing additional traffic (76%), ease of finding parking (71%), and compatibility with current park uses (55%). Respondents were able to select more than one issue. Several write-in comments noted concerns about affecting existing trails or the dog park. Potential future events In terms of potential future events or activities, participants indicated the greatest interest in summer concert series (81%), arts and crafts markets / festivals (72%), food truck festivals (67%), theater and dance performances (56%), and brewers festivals (53%). Respondents were able to select more than one event type. Stage design One third of respondents said they support a permanent stage with a removable or seasonal overhead structure. Other respondents were interested in either a full permanent stage with permanent overhead structure (23%) or infrastructure only to promote a non-permanent stage (23%). Several write-in comments requested the design blend with the site and be as unobtrusive to views as possible while others voiced opposition to any type of stage on the site. Picnic shelters Over 80% of respondents said they would support the addition of picnic shelters to the park.

Emailed comments PCPR staff also received 4 emails during this outreach period with comments from community members about the project. Email comment topics included cost of constructing an event stage, frequency and affordability of events, and consideration of not building an event stage or if so, a temporary one.

5. T he two other stage options are shown below. Do you have comments or questions about the other locations considered, or a different location you think we should consider for a stage? ResponseID Response 50

T here is more potential for traffic cong estion issues at the south option.

A west stag e for big events could be built integ ral with the existing concrete structure and not take up any additional space. T he backdrop of the water and mountains would be incredible. T he South option could be fine for smaller events but am concerned the stag ing area cuts off potential new parking access from the current park access road. If new parking to the south is developed and accessed thru the treatment plant, that could insure adequate parking .

No to Western option. Protect osprey area!

I do not see the slope your g roup describes for South Stag e location.

Where would the dog park g o? Who would pay for it?

T here will definitely be a need for additional restrooms.

Affect of our tax base?

Don't like the other 2 choices!! T he North messes up the Central Meadow by doing g rading !

Prefer south option

ResponseID Response 64

I feel the best location would be below the east slope trail where the current driving rang e is. Pros: 1) amphitheater faces east for g ood solar orientation 2) existing slope for limited reg rading 3) traffic would be routed away from the 2 park entrances 4) delineation between concert attendees and park users (park would not need to be closed off to the public use of the central meadow and trails) 5) better acoustics for the music and less noise impact on the neig hborhood, 6) easier to pass security screening . Cons: 1) relocate driving rang e and dog park

the West option would interfere with the views of the sound and also mig ht disrupt the ospreys and their nests with babies.

Do not put any stag e at Chambers Creek Central Meadow. Unnecessary. Our community has the T acoma Dome for concerts with ample parking . Inappropriate for a residential zone.

Nothing that is built should impact the views of the swing set or the sound. I like the idea of tucking the stag e back into the south corner where it will have the least impact on the views.

I don't think an event stag e is compatible with the current park activities, and will bring too much noise and traffic.

Seems like access would be very difficult, and disruptive for the g olfers.

Better option: use the g olf practice area below the hill by trail. Face into the hill. Sound would not carry as easily to neig hbors, central meadow would not be neg atively impacted.

We oppose any permanent stag e in the central meadow. If the event stag e were to be constructed for the east slope we support a permanent state with a removable overhead structure

T he open stag es are g ood. If you have to make a stag e make it small and unobtrusive as possible.

Prefer built stag e and covered area or built stag e and removable canopy.

None of them as I do not think we need an event center at the Park

T his could be used for family picnic's, wedding s, etc. Seems like a more multi use structure would be more advantag es in the long run. Without have to set-up, tear-down and store.

Overhead structure is needed.

8. What do you dislike and why?

ResponseID Response 52

Don't obstruct any views of water or relics.

I would prefer not to look at water treatment.

North Stag e - best one!

T he South choice doesn't destroy the view by the Swing Set.

Examples would not load

We dislike building an event structure in the central meadow as the unique openness of the meadow is what Chambers Bay Reg ional Park represents. Please explore other options

Don't like the larg er ones with big tops or backdrops. Without the examples to see in front of me I can't make comments about the different ones in the different cities.

I don't want to see anything too larg e or imposing .

I dislike the fact that first the developer and the county council are g oing to disrupt and spoil a perfectly beautiful park with their g randiose money making actions and the park department is considering a larg e event center making thing s even worse!

Want Chambers Bay to stay as is without any new structures

Structure will only be used in g ood weather...why have something permanent when use will only be a few months of the year?

Chambers is a wonderful community asset for Pierce County. I don't think the space should be 'over prog rammed'

9. Any additional comments on stage design?

ResponseID Response 52

Least obtrusive, least visible.

If West Stag e, you could use a shaded, but see throug h backdrop, like the Gorg e.

Make it very portable.

I wondered about costs for the various stag e options. Costs? What is the timeline for the project? How will it be funded? Where will the revenue from the Central Meadow event g o? (U.P.? Lakewood, Pierce County?)

As short (low) as possible - not hug e!!! Option (South-facing Waste Water T reatment plant is my choice.

No examples

Put in power electricity and possibly a webcam for the osprey nest. :-) as far as the stag e g oes make it non permanent or at the very least semi-permanent. Please, under no circumstances put in a permanent stag e!!

Chambers Creek Regional Park – Central Meadow Stage Study Pierce County Parks & Recreation

Open House 3 Outreach Summary Overview Pierce County Parks and Recreation (PCPR) is conducting a feasibility study for an event stage in the Central Meadow at Chambers Creek Regional Park. To gauge public interest and solicit feedback on a preferred stage concept from the study, project staff hosted a third project open house on Tuesday, Aug. 6, 2019, from 6-8 p.m. at the Environmental Services Building (9850 64th Street W, University Place, WA) and hosted an online survey on the project website from Aug. 7 – 19. Project team members greeted open house attendees and invited them to sign in, view project displays, and ask questions. Project Manager Benjamin Barrett and members of the consultant team gave a presentation about the goals of the feasibility study, feedback from public outreach to date, the preferred stage concept, and findings from the initial traffic analysis. Benjamin shared that a final feasibility study report, including summary of feedback from this event, will be presented to Pierce County leadership to determine if and when a stage in the Central Meadow will move forward.

Open House 3 Outreach Summary

Survey responses The project team received over 100 survey responses. This included nearly 100 complete responses to the online survey (and 80 partially completed online responses) and 9 paper surveys from in-person meeting attendees on Aug. 6. The online and in-person surveys included the same questions. Preferred concept support When asked whether they supported the preferred concept plan (see image below) as the basis for moving forward, 40% of respondents answered no, 37% responded yes, and 23% said they were undecided. Themes from write-in comments explaining participantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responses are summarized in subsequent sections below.

Stage roof canopy options Participants were asked to share their level of support for four potential stage roof canopy options: permanent stage with permanent roof canopy, permanent stage with permanent structure and movable roof canopy, permanent stage with adjustable height roof canopy, and permanent stage with removable roof canopy. All options received less than 50% support (strongly support or somewhat support responses), but the option with the highest support was the permanent stage with permanent roof canopy (40%). The permanent stage with removable roof canopy was the only option with over 50% opposition (55% somewhat oppose or strongly oppose). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neutral or no opinionâ&#x20AC;? answers ranged from 14-23% of responses for each option. Comment themes: Topics of concern

Page 3 of 5

Open House 3 Outreach Summary Top concerns among commenters included:       

Event traffic volumes being Impacts to surrounding residential neighborhoods and regular park-goers (such as noise, congestion, limited park access during events) Limited public awareness of the proposed project and impacts, especially among residents near the park Proposed scale and number of annual events (several people noted they would be more supportive of a stage for smaller-scale or less frequent events) Desire to preserve the open space and existing character of the park Impacts to current park uses, including dog park at the preferred stage site Cumulative impacts between the Chambers Bay Resort project and a potential Central Meadow stage

Other concerns included project funding, crime, litter, pollution, and higher area cost of living. Comment themes: Ideas for refinement Several comments voiced direct support for an event stage. Other comments included suggestions and requests for consideration, such as:           

Expand bathroom facilities in the Central Meadow Add other facilities to complement stage: picnic tables, trees for shade, lighting, trash receptacles Coordinate event schedules with regional graduations or large sporting events Utilize off-site parking shuttles Take proper steps to relieve traffic congestion Analyze walkability and bike access in addition to car traffic Include drop-off area or paved path from parking to stage for people using wheelchairs, strollers Partner with local businesses such as restaurants to encourage local spending from event patrons Avoid events with fireworks Use biodegradable packaging for all products sold on park grounds Negotiate with golf course to consider stage site below Environmental Services Building

Demographics Respondents were asked to provide their zip code and age. Most respondents were from University Place (87% responded with 98466 or 98467), with several other zip codes from elsewhere in Pierce County, including Tacoma and Steilacoom. More than 50% of respondents were over 55, with the largest percentage between responding their age as 55-64 (25%).

As Pierce County continues to g row at it's current unwelcome pace, unspoiled, uncrowded places such as this park will become increasing ly rare. T he very idea of 50 0 0 people converg ing on the beautiful Central Meadow is horrifying . Having it happen weekly, all summer long -- is nig htmarish. Part of the wild beauty of Chambers is the fact the park isn't being "loved to death." Yet. (Just take a look at the cong estion that is happening in Yellowstone.) Chambers Creek Park was NOT created to be a larg e concert venue. At least that is not what this taxpayer was lead to believe. It was quite disturbing to hear about concert promoters, much less those proposing 7-8 concerts a season. T here are only that number of weeks in a summer. So WEEKLY, for an entire summer, reg ardless of the day of the week, 50 0 0 people will descend upon University Place to g et to our our beautiful county park. T hey will be there not to walk the trails, not to enjoy the beach and spectacular views as was intended, not

I g uess--- it would be g ood to know what other options you considered and did not pursue.

Bring in quality acts that would perform at Chateau St Michelle and Marymoor

T he area cannot easily handle all the traffic that would come with having multiple summer events here.

T his proposal would have a sig nificant neg ative impact on the adjacent residential neig hborhoods, in terms of traffic and noise. Also, events would be affected by frequent noise from the trains. I witnessed the Judy Collins concert years ag o, from the top path along Grandview. Her voice carried clearly up the hill but was drowned out when the trains went throug h. I fear that this opportunity for public input is just a formality and the county will g o ahead and do what it wants, just like the hotel plan with its additional 190 "casas", not in the orig inal plan, was approved in spite of sig nificant local opposition.

T he adjacent residential neig hborhoods would be neg atively affected by traffic and noise. T he cost is not justifiable for something we don't even want.

ResponseID Response 38

T here is not enoug h roadway infrastructure to support the additional traffic in the area without severely impacting residents in the surrounding areas. I'd also like to add, our household has not heard of this project until now, why is that? I live near Curtis and would be directly impacted by the results of this.

We need services at Chambers Creek. A sundry Store is g reatly needed

I do not wish to have an event stag e built at this site at all. T he increased traffic will make the park much less desirable to visit.

I'm very concerned about traffic & parking

I have g rave concerns about the impact of 10 0 0 cars driving down Grandview on the safety of those living in that area

Leave as is -- no event stag e needed! In fact, no "resort" needed! Outreach on this is non-existent! No mailed notices to area residents, just onesey-twosey notices posted on bulletin board.

I do not support the proposed concept plan because the proposed venue size and attendance population is T OO BIG and will have an incredibly neg ative impact, esp. with reg ard to unacceptable influx of traffic and cong estion, possible noise pollution, etc. on those who live off and around any of the main streets/avenues that lead to Chamber's Bay. UNLESS... T hose attending events would be bussed in from other location, T CC for example, as was the case with the g olf tournament. Also, it is rig ht in front of the dog park.

T oo much traffic. What about noise to houses to the east? We hear soccer matches with no amplification. Can't imag ine what a noisy stag e would be like!

Our roads cannot handle the influx of traffic this will create. What about the additional noise it will bring into our neig hborhoods and pollution

Hmmm. isn't this where the dog park was promised (and never delivered)...

Will this location for an event stag e eliminate the current dog park? Will it chang e the two dog parks at all?

T raffic, air quality, noise pollution, loss of walking trails, loss of g reen space that people currently enjoy, park being closed during events.

Absolutely NO! Building all of this stuff is ruining our city. Where is all the infrastructure to support all of the additional traffic, the noise, and the livability of everyone that owns homes in the area? Money isn't everything .

T raffic noise, pollution, overcrowding of small streets, parking issues. Lived here 30 + yrs. Horrible idea.

ResponseID Response 62

I think it could be a g reat addition to the community BUT only with smaller numbers. 50 0 0 visitors per event is too many for our smaller residential streets.

It is too soon to plan for this type of project. Any new Hotel and resort housing needs to be completed and operational BEFORE any additional, permanent Central Meadow projects are planned and approved.

I live rig ht off of Grandview and close to the g olf course and do not look forward to the cong estion. Maybe I would be in favor if it was 1-2 events each summer. But then their is the sporting events as well

Chambers Bay Survey I am oppose to the plan for the following reasons: 1. T he surface roads weren't desig ned to handle the 150 0 expected vehicles for the 8-10 summer events planned. In reality that is 30 0 0 vehicles (back and forth trips) traveling those roads on event day. T he traffic would have a major impact the residents of University Place and the Steilacoom. Evening cong estion if it fall on a work day, traffic noise at the end of the concert for homes along the major arterial. 2. How will you insure that residential streets will not be impacted by event g oers parking in the nearby neig hborhoods. 3. It was mentioned that closing certain areas of the park of event days may occur. Summer is a hig h use season for the parks and walking trails. 4. T he way the stag e is desig n noise will travel to the neig hborhoods along Grandview. I know this from experience. When Judy Collins performed in 20 0 8 in the Central Meadow we could here the entire concert in our backyard (which

We are neig hbors on Grandview Drive just 2 blocks north of Chambers Park, and WE DID NOT RECEIVE NOT ICE OF T HE 3 COMMUNIT Y MEET ING DAT ES

For this of us that basically only have Chambers Lane rd for ing ress and eg ress coming from the west or south, without using Steilacoom, I believe there would be too much traffic to g et into our own neig hborhood of Woodlake. I would like to see proposals for shuttling patrons similar to what took place during the U.S. Open.

We are University Place residents because it is quiet and safe. Bring ing an event stag e will only increase traffic cong estion, which is already a problem and potentially heig hten the crime rate. All before even mentioning that this will take up a g reat deal of our lovely park. We do not need the cost of living to g o up. We do not need to increase roadway cong estion. We do not need the increased crime rate that comes with event venues. We do not need this event stag e.

I'm extremely concerned about the neg ative impacts on the health of our residents, wildlife, and the environment as a direct result of 150 0 cars idling while waiting to park, and leave, an event; the amount of g arbag e that's bound to be left behind; the noise level; potential for increased crime. I don't think Grandview or the driveway to the park, supports the traffic level that will exist with a larg e event.

Are you planning to remove the only place we have for dog s to run? For stag e/outside events it seems a g ated area for dog s would be needed even more.

T hey need to talk to the residents that live around Chambers.

ResponseID Response

Concerned about the Event Stag e. Sounds like a g reat idea, but if crowds g et too larg e it would be too much of a g ood thing . Auburn White River Ampitheater is an example of a g ood idea g one bad for traffic and the residents of the area. Please proceed with caution here.

I'm sorry many people don't favor g rowth to our community. I find that in the long run we will be a rejuvenated University Place pulling in revenue.

Events should be somewhat limited in scope so as to minimize neg ative impact on local traffic and additional safety/security concerns. On site parking should be sufficient to accommodate event attendees who do not walk.

T oo much traffic in our area.

I've never seen the meadow "full" so I like the idea of adding features like a stag e to it to increase usability. I don't see the existing dog parks in the concept plan. Can those still be kept?

I would support something smaller, like Steilacoom has, or Fircrest.

T his would be g reat!

I support the idea however I think an alternate location on the property needs to be evaluated.

T he park is a reg ional attraction and this would be an opportunity for the public and the entertainers.

What access would I have to walking trails and beach during events? How far would the noise carry?

Not interested in paying for event stag es and their upkeep. T here are ample places for events throug hout our area. If they want to do an event there, the event itself can put in a stag e temporarily. Open spaces are important.

Concerned about the traffic and people flow it will being to our quiet community.

T he area can only be approached from three directions north, south and east. T his puts tremendous pressure on the infrastructure to g et to and from the proposed venue. Additionally, the park is a g em as is it is and has a hig h traffic rate as it is. Move forward with this project and it's like saying to the locals, "welcome to T acomafornia"!

Noise from concert, less space for the g eneral public, less time for public usag e during the summer due to traffic and set-up.T raffic impacting our bedroom community would be undesirable.

My family and I love chambers park because of the quiet, beautiful, uncrowded park, sounds like a traffic, parking nig htmare, the park will be ruined!

Prefer moving location to "practice g olf area"

117

Having a stag e in our nice, quiet area is outrag eous. We've been patient and ag reeable with all of the building and restructuring in our community, including small events such as walkathons, wedding s and g olf events but T HIS takes the cake! Not no, but hell no. We are tired of those in charg e not listening to the PEOPLE, remember, you work for us!

118

I live on Grandview and think all the extra event traffic will be detrimental to living here.

122

Ft Steilacoom recently improved their event stag e, 2 similar facilities are not needed in such close proximity. Parking and paving property so close to the shoreline should require extensive stormwater treatment with oil / water separation that would deg rade the shoreline. It's another seasonal use rather than a facility that provides stable year round employment.

133

Worried about drifters and loiterers, parking , but like the idea of an event area.

136

If there will be an investment in attracting more users, please add more permanent, structured facilities to complement this effort, such as restrooms, picnic tables, trees for shade, lig hting , trash receptacles, etc. what will be done to manag e traffic cong estion at Chambers Creek Rd? Will the sing le lane roundabout be sufficient to effectively and timely handle the surg e of visitors for events? Will a T raffic Impact Study, level of service, and warrant analysis be performed?

137

Such a beautiful spot for people to enjoy events.

139

Something is needed to g enerate income and this plan mig ht do that

153

Parking is already horrible there on a decently nice day. People like playing in the g rass there and flying kites, and I don't see that being an option anymore. T he playg round up top is already not maintained, so I'm worried the same for down below.

Just found out about this today

159

T here is no need for permanent event stag e.

ResponseID Response 170

Moved into the area because it is quiet and has low traffic, quiet in the evening especially, the wildlife, th natural sounds of nature's. My preference is to focus on building the natural landscape for local habit to thrive and a space to enjoy and teach. Living next to a music venue offers no endearing benefits to the residents.

173

What would impact of public use of the park be

176

T oo noisy. Park should never be closed for events. T raffic g oing to be a problem.

178

T he roads to and from Chambers Bay do not support any kind of extra traffic. It will be a nig htmare. Plan ahead next time and make big g er streets in the area.

180

Like that it has an event stag e,g o for it.l've been promoting concerts at Chambers since inception with always a positive response to all the benefits creative cultural events bring to a aready wonderful community.

181

T his is ridiculous! SO MISLEADING!!! NO ONE GOT ANY POST CARDS! You did NOT sent them out to us. We live very close to this. T he roads cannot handle the traffic - you are placing all of us at risk! T he area cannot handle this type of traffic or number of people. WHAT REIMBURSEMENT ARE YOU GOING T O PROVIDE US FOR T HOSE WIT HING 1/2 MILE - YOU ARE DISRUPT ING OUR LIVES AND SAFET Y AND PUT T ING US AT RISK.

Beautiful place for an entertainment venue.

186

I oppose any type of stag e that would bring hug e amounts of traffic to our area.

187

T oo much potential traffic/disruption of normal life for those living in the area. Coupled with potential villa construction, those of us who live locally will be impacted for years. Leave the park as it is. It's paid for by all of Pierce county, whether they g olf or not. Most in the county don't g et to enjoy it, yet they still pay.

191

T his will cause vehicle cong estion that will cripple University place. T raffic must be addressed first.

4. What are your thoughts about the traffic analysis? ResponseID Response 25

See my previous comments about traffic impacts on the cities of University Place and Steilacoom.

Parking has been a hug e problem at the g olf course and I am confused about why you have not been more proactive. You need to add more parking at the course and off site for these events. PLUS more parking for the hotel/restaurant debacle. You could shuttle people from the local schools, unless events coincide with the school day. Really, it is very disappointing that parking has been an after-thoug ht for the county.

ResponseID Response 29

T raffic-On a recent busy warm weekend the traffic on Grandview at the circle into the g olf entrance was completely blocked for more than 5 minutes as folks entering stopped just inside the entrance. T herefore I sug g est will need another way to keep traffic moving in that area with an increased flow of cars.--Having two lanes around a main circle would work. Side Note- Canopy on the stag e--Why is it shown as flat? Seems it wouldn't be acoustically appropriate? I have loved seeing the water traffic behind the Shakespearean scenes at Bard on the Beach stag e, Vancouver BC each summer. Leaving the back of the stag e open rather than covered leaves more options.

Include money for paved path from overflow lot so wheelchairs/ strollers can have a drop off/ pick up area and can access the park/meadow during events more easily.

you have underestimated the cong estion issues that will be caused by the roundabouts...

Multiple summer events would cause too much traffic cong estion for the area.

1.5 hours to clear traffic? A nig htmare for local residents who need to have ing ress/eg ress to their homes.

1.5 hours to clear traffic after an event is totally unacceptable. Residents off Grandview, Cirque and Chambers Bay Rd need access to and from their homes.

With this type of g rowth, traffic will increase

I don't wish to have an additional 1,50 0 vehicles driving in my neig hborhood to utilize this event space that is proposed.

I think the traffic will neg atively impact the neig hborhood and the environment.

I have experienced increased traffic and the noise at my home. My home has a small g reen belt between my home and Cirque Drive. We are 3 blocks from Grandview. Unfortunately, the city choose not to extend sidewalks, crosswalks or other pedestrian safety measures along our stretch of Cirque. I am EXT REMELY opposed to the idea of increased traffic unless T he City of U.P. or someone else does something to mitig ate the impact of the traffic.

Still concerns about g etting out of my subdivision off of Grandview with added traffic. People parking on side streets and walking in.

T his does not address the issue of people parking along Grandview or in the surrounding neig hborhoods or the difficulty residents are g oing to have g etting to and from their homes during events.

Bog us! T raffic will flow on Chambers Rd to 64th just as it does now. UP shut down that traffic for the US Open g olf a few years ag o 'cause it was so bad. T his is insane idea!!!

ResponseID Response 47

T he proposed venue size and attendance population is T OO BIG and will have an incredibly neg ative impact, esp. with reg ard to unacceptable influx of traffic and cong estion, on those who live off and around any of the main streets/avenues, not just Grandview, that lead to Chamber's Bay. T he side streets perpendicular to Grandview will be also severely impacted; people will not be able to g et in and out of their own streets and quality of life will be impacted. T hose attending events should be bussed in from another location, T CC for example, as was the case with the g olf tournament. Or, larg e venues like this should not be even discussed AT ALL when in residential neig hborhoods.

I think the first two traffic countermeasures listed are appropriate (traffic notice sig ns & traffic control officers). I think both would help ease the cong estion to residents near the site. I do not think that the other measures would be as effective.

We hear traffic on Chambers. Assuming an event lasts till eig ht or nine or ten PM, another hour and a half could put noise to nearly midnig ht. Plus, people are sloppy and throw bottles, cans, and cups out of the windows. Who's g oing to pick up the extra trash?

T his is our city and we pay heavy taxes to live here. We really do not have any input on this

living rig ht off Cirque and Grandview, the traffic is my main concern. I think off site shuttles should be heavily marketed and made to be the primary mode of transportation to the event

T his event stag e will create too many traffic issues for local residents!

"Event traffic notice sig ns encourag ing local drivers to seek alternate routes" really?!? So now neig hborhood streets that are g enerally quiet will become an alternate route. What a hug e blow to current homeowners in the vicinity and a major deterrent for in the market buyers.

It sucks... All of it. We put up with enoug h uncontrollable traffic on Grandview. Now we have to find alternate routes home? Put up with even more inconveniences so out of area folks can g o to events? Devalue our property values? NO on all the plans for Chambers Bay building !

Forg et it! Ruining our city!

Maybe if University place had the proper number of police to monitor and police the increase in traffic that could help me feel better about the number throug h traffic. I'm concerned about the neg ative impact on residents and the small community.

ResponseID Response 63

Having driven Grandview, 40 th St, Cirque Dr and Bridg eport for over ten (10 ) years now, across variable weather, years of School events, weekdays, weekends, Orchard Concerts, local Estate sales, g arag e sales, National Nig ht Out events and Duck Daze parades, I would disag ree with the "traffic study" analysis of travel time. In addition, citing only travel time on Grandview from Cirque is wholly inadequate. All routes to the event entrance will be compromised. T his brief T raffic Analysis seems to focus only on the Cirque Drive connection to Grandview when if fact, ALL of Grandview Dr W, 64th St W and Chambers Creek Rd will be cong ested coming and g oing to events. It is too soon to plan for this type of project. Any new Hotel and resort housing needs to be completed and operational BEFORE any additional, permanent Central Meadow projects are planned and approved.

All of these measures were in place during the US Open and I thoug ht it did really help. My thoug hts at the time were this was not bad but that was 1 event. T he thoug ht of all that g oing on all summer does not set well with me at all

If it is a ticketed event charg e a hig her rate for onsite parking (don't miss out on fee collection from willing contributors) and when that is sold out all other ticket holders have passes for "free parking with shuttle". Add parking enforcement for illeg al parking that will occur in nearby residential streets within walking distance of the venue. Before the venue is constructed have the city install more speed limit sig nag e and parking /no parking sig nag e on the traffic sensitive side streets and arterials.

T here should be a dedicated closed to local residents only lane during the peak traffic cong estion. If you leave off of Chambers Lane or Grandview it would be too much disruption and we would be sing led out for receiving the brunt of the cong estion vs residents north of us with more ing ress and eg ress options.

Pur streets are not built to sustain such amount of traffic on reg ular basis. UP residents will end up paying more for road maintenance, streets and neig hbourhoods will be less safe, and there will be more crime in the area.

ResponseID Response 70

T his traffic analysis is much too little. Our city is simply not set up to accomidate 1,50 0 cars. As a University Place resident it is deeply concerning that our leaders can think this is a feasable option. You mention "Incentives for event patrons to carpool, arrive early, and/or depart late." One of my main concerns is the increased noise and crime this will bring . So our city proposes people stay later? Spend more time being loud on chambers creek road. Loitering in our parks and community. I find it desterbing indeed that University Place leadership would propose such a thing .

I'm extremely concerned about the neg ative environmental and health impacts on residents from having 150 0 cars idling along Grandview. We'll likely see an increase in cancers and health issues associated with pollution, and we'll see the natural beauty of our area (wildlife, flowers and shrubs) g reatly diminish. I think if this is g oing to g o throug h, reg ardless of the concerns from long time residents, traffic needs to be routed toward Bridg eport only, not Cirque.

It would be a nig htmare. It's much easier to g et in and out of Chambers Bay where the playg round is.

Sounds like a decent study was done, but I question whether this is a g ood idea in the first place. I'm really unsure about the whole thing .

It was well thoug ht out. I believe we have enoug h arterials to handle the flow of traffic.

Sounds reasonable. Was on-street parking considered (pro and con)?

T oo much traffic in our neig hborhood.

I just hope the city g ets the $$ from the event parking .

It reveals that you are planning big events, which I do not support.

T raffic happens.

T raffic control offers could double as patrols for both car prowls and illeg ally parked vehicles.

Get rid of the roundabouts and that will alleviate traffic.

Encourag ing the use of Chambers Creek Rd. seems best to me. Food trucks could help stag g er incoming traffic.

Do we need this as an event venue?

It depends on how often the additional traffic will occur I suppose...

T he road infrastructure is insufficient for current usag e. T otally overwhelmed for events.

ResponseID Response 97

T raffic and parking will definitely be an issue. Maybe a shuttle type idea to bus in from somewhere on Bridg eport?

So if this is accurate is no one concerned that the infrastructure can't handle it? Ag ain, you are proposing a venue that only has three directional access and traffic will be much worse than predicted. For instance traffic will clear within 1.5 hours following an event Is that an averag e 1.5 hours? It seems to me it would depend upon the attraction value of the entertainer and you could run into situations where traffic clearing could be two or three hours because the existing cannot handle this many people, in one location, at one time. T his is not to mention the security vulnerabilities of the location

10 0

T his is a residential neig hborhood. Not a g ood place for a concert facility.

10 3

Needs more study but in g eneral, this work to date was appreciated and helpful. Really support shuttle services and carpool discounts.

10 5

Attended both 5/21 & 8/6 meeting s, It does not appear that there was adequate study on parking and traffic considerations reg ardless of how the people presenting prog ram claimed use of traffic use. At 8/6/ meeting there was confusion on whether where public could park if they were using park but not attending an event.

10 7

Event manag ement must be in tandem with local schools (Curtis and Charles Wrig ht) so as to make sure not avoid doubling up with same day events. Probably only impacts early fall and late spring but especially avoiding g raduation/sports seasons larg e events. Glad I sold my house across from Chambers Bay as I imag ine noise and traffic to neg atively impact. Win over those locals with early info/ concert discounts or something . I hope County will partner with local restaurants etc to promote them with concert g oers so UP can benefit unlike the g olf tournaments. With increased business people will be more willing to accept neg atives like slow drives. Also White River Ampitheatre offers sig nag e several says in advance along main thoroug hfares so as to alert reg ulars to expect delays. No one likes traffic delays but much happier to know it is coming then be surprised.

10 9

T raffic analysis was a waste of tax payers money. T o think that 35% of the traffic could be funneled throug h Steilacoom when the analysts had never driven throug h Steilacoom showed a lack of fact finding .

110

Parking shuttles should be offered to cut down on traffic. Many attendees would take Cirque which lacks sidewalks to protect local residents who may walk to the event. T he curves on Cirque near Beckonridg e are particularly dang erous and have lead to numerous accidents with inattentive drivers. An analysis of traffic routes and walkability or bike friendliness should be carried out.

111

T his sounds like a horrible, there is only one ways roads to g et into to the park, this will cause horrible traffic and parking issues for all surrounding neig hborhoods

113

Need to use Bridg eport exit more.

ResponseID Response 114

Use zip codes to assig n parking so all cars in each lot are to use same departure route.

115

Off site parking with shuttles for larg e portion of cars.

116

I would prefer incentives and shuttles except where would parking for shuttle riders be located? Puyallup like the US Open-No

117

No room for traffic now with all YOUR poorly desig ned roundabouts and removing lanes for bike paths

122

Sug g estion is for people to arrive early or leave late but there are no services in the area. Improve the club house before building more facilities.

127

Shuttles and incentives to carpool, arrive early, & leave late I think would be the best options. For those of us who live in Grandview, it could be a complete nig htmare to g et to or from our houses during those event arrival/departure times.

130

Projections too low on traffic

131

It will be a nig htmare

133

Always issues with port a potties, g arbag e and theft. Must have sig ns and alternative parking desig nations. Required, someone directing traffic.

134

Sounds g reat.

136

1.5 hours is not acceptable for an event to be cleared. Grandview and Chambers Creek Rd are not sufficient to channel out 1,50 0 cars. T he impact on the immediate neig hborhoods will be impacted g reatly. In addition to unacceptable levels of cong estion, there will be indirect neg ative impacts, such as increased trash on these roads, speeding , etc. Unless University Place budg ets and allocates much more funding for permanent police officers (more FT Es, not just emphasis patrol or overtime), the impacts will g o unchecked and have a neg ative effect on adjacent neig hborhoods.

137

T raffic will be a problem. Not a lot of parking . Need another lot.

139

Any eve.t-shirt, anywhere, will impact local traffic for some time. Life with it, or have no events. Any other solution complicates matters, adds costs

142

Residents will adjust over time, especially if the primary ing ress and eg ress routes are routinely used by event g oers.

155

All of those thing s are needed for residents living in the area to be able to leave their neig hborhoods for reasons other than the events.

ResponseID Response 159

T errible. Estimates should account for double the cars to planned parking spaces. T he estimate should then account for additional vehicles attempting to park in local neig hborhoods and along sides of roads. T his is an optimistic estimate that ig nores many variables: how many people attended the US Open (20 15) at Chambers Bay?

166

T raffic and noise are my main concerns. I live in walking distance so parking is also a g rave concern. My condo had to put g uards on our parking lot during the g olf tournament.

168

I support countermeasure options 2 and 4.

170

Didn't move here to have to use alternate routes. Pollution and noise not a healthy ing redient for residents. T raffic and nose will lower home values. T raffic and noise will kill and hinder the natural wildlife. T here are plenty of examples.

176

I like the fact that people and their cars are routed around the south side instead of being able to g o down to the central Meadow.

178

T he roads to and from Chambers do not allow for any events.

180

Fine the Us open proved capacity capacities

181

NO WAY! KEEP T RAFFIC OUT OF T HIS AREA - PERIOD! T HE GOLF T HING WAS A NIGHT MARE! HOW ARE YOU REIMBURSING US FOR T HE INCONVENIENCE? 30 RESPONSES IS NOT CONCLUSIVE NOR REPRESENT AT IVE OF T HE AREA - PIERCE COUNT Y HUGE FAIL!

184

T he ideas of shuttles and traffic police are g ood

186

I think 1.5 hours for traffic to clear is utterly ridiculous and that it will create cong estion throug hout our city. No thanks.

187

Grandview...one lane. Cirque...one lane. Chambers creek...one lane. 67th...one lane. It's already difficult for locals in U.P. to g et around during weekday evening s. Add event traffic to roads which aren't built for it, and it becomes a nig htmare. Once in a year, no problem. Multiple events monthly, and it becomes a sig nificant disruption to normal life for those of us living in the area. How will I be compensated for the neg ative impact?? I won't receive a tax break even thoug h U.P. will make money on tax revenue.

188

Unrealistic expectations.

191

1.5 hours of traffic on a weeknig ht and expecting local traffic who use the park or use the back way to g et to post to find another way is unreasonable.

195

No opinion

shuttles work well. but would depend on the size of the event.

ResponseID Response 20 0

I like the shuttle idea, and the incentives to arrive early and depart late. What are the incentives? Where would parking be if people were shuttled?

20 2

20 4

Way too much traffic.

20 5

I want to know if this will increase my property taxes

20 7

Seems the same as now when there are current events

5. Are there any other ideas or items you'd like Pierce County leadership to consider? ResponseID Response 25

Only smaller venues with lower caps on attendance. See my previous remarks

Mainly, after the GLA debacle, I am very disappointed that the county leadership, and I am not sure that your "public comment" options are even worth the time of residents to respond. I wish county leadership were more responsive to the thoug hts of the residents.

What surface will be used for the stag e itself? will a temporary flooring be able to be used on top of it? T hink more about how the stag e could be used year round for many types of g athering s & prepare the site for such usag e

I would like to see the structure have more of a tunnel or concave look possibly with layered back walls. Even with "windows" (like at construction sites) so at the times it's not being used it becomes a view spot to the foreg round or backg round.

I witnessed the Judy Collins concert years ag o from the upper trail above the meadow. It was a disaster. Her voice carried clearly up the hill but was drowned out every time a train came throug h. And it rained.

I am very disappointed to know the g olf course & Chambers Creek property is $35 million dollars in debt. We need more services there to decrease the debt and provide much needed services to patrons.

Please leave the park as is.

Consider safety measures along Cirque Drive between Bristonwood Dr. and the existing sidewalks.

ResponseID Response 44

Consideration to future vandalism of stag e...how is that g oing to be controlled or deterred.

Adding access throug h the industrial park on the Steilacoom side to reduce the traffic on what is essentially a residential street.

Abandon this and the corrupt development of "resort" idea in this park. Only developers will benefit, not UP voters.

DO NOT build a stag e that will host larg e events for 1,50 0 and upwards. T his is SO disrespectful to the residents in the surrounding area.

Expanding bathroom facility at Central meadow.

None of the stag es presented has a closed back, so noise will funnel east, even if all amps face west. Where are the audio reports? What will be the noise impact on houses in the area?

Get a g ood restaurant on site before anything else is added to this park!

Lol

Sounds to me like you've already made up your minds.

Please for once take input from residents seriously. T his could be a g ood thing for our community if done correctly. Don't destroy UP for financial g ain. T ake the proper steps to relieve traffic cong estion.

I'd like them to be patient and finish one major project, T he Chambers Bay Hotel resort and housing , before approving any plans for the Central Meadow.

I selected that I did not approve any of the current stag e desig ns because I think the current structure in the central meadow should be incorporated in the desig n. T he structure that has the Osprey nest. I have always imag ined that being a stag e and it fits perfectly with the other structures that have been left from the Gravel Company

Keep in mind the residents who live in the surrounding neig hborhoods and the impact it will have on them beyond traffic and noise. Look at the carbon footprint it will leave on such a beautiful park and surrounding areas. Living near the g ravel pit wasn't bad at all. John Ladenburg has the foresig ht to create a beautiful park for all the people - g olfers and non g olfers. Please do not take away from the park and trails and disrupt or inconvenience residents who have lived there for years. You have already made it a hig h price Elitist residential park by allowing the extended housing condos to be built. T he park was meant for everyone. You have taken park of the park away to allow for the upper class to enjoy.

ResponseID Response 67

All events should end at 9:30 . Yes, even in the summer, especially when your experts have estimated that it will take 1.5 hours to evacuate traffic. T here should never be any acoustics that include or imitate fireworks displays. T raffic enforcement should be actively writing tickets during any event. Sometimes that is the only way motorists learn how to follow the lawful use of the roads.

T hey should offer discounts to performances for Pierce County residents since we pay for the park.

T here is no clear community benefit for this project, it's done without taking into the account the impacts of this project on the quality of life for residents of UP.

University Place is not T acoma, nor Seattle, nor Bellevue. Stop trying to make it an event hub. Stop trying to innovate us out of house and home. If we wanted to live by event venues we would live in one of the aforementioned cities. But we dont. We want what we have; a quiet, safe community. Our taxes are already throug h the roof. Not all UP residents can afford yet another development project in UP.

I completely understand the financial situation the city finds itself in with this g olf course and park and long term sustainability, and I respect the leadership's efforts in trying to fig ure out a way to earn profit to manag e the lands and course and keep the natural beauty of this area available to residents. I could support using the park for events, but the level at which it is being considered seems extremely damag ing and in poor conscience. Is there an option for smaller events to be held there and still be profitable? I haven't received any notices about any of these meeting s, other than on the Nextdoor App after the fact (I'll hold my judg ment about the lack of resident notification), so I admit I'm lacking on information about what led to our current situation.

Consider better public outreach/announcements. I take my dog there all the time and had to learn about this from nextdoor. T he idea is g ood. I enjoy the concerts at Curran orchard. It's the log istics that I'm curious about.

Not beyond what I've already stated. T hanks for doing this survey.

Will we be able to use the park on the other end while this other space is being used?

How will the cost of construction and maintenance be addressed?

Yes - A smaller stag e, and not-for-profit concerts only.

I think development is g reat.

T he positive impact that a venue could provide at this g em of a park is priceless. Pierce County/UP/T acoma would have the opportunity to bring top-level talent and events to our community.

Cutting property taxes 2nd g olf course at Chambers Hotel at Chambers

Because the meadow is pretty flat, the stag e should be hig h enoug h so people in back have decent sig ht lines.

It seems that Chambers is becoming a multi-use, please everyone and no one destination. How will this g el with your plans for on-site housing ? Future plans for a marina, etc?

Picnic shelters around the park. Summertime spray park similar to T itlow.

Consider leaving the park in a natural state for everyone to enjoy. Consider how the 810 events during the summer will conflict with the 90 day exclusive use by Chambers Bay Resort. T his has been broug ht up in 2 meeting s and not acknowledg ed by the PC Park Department.

111

Don't cause more traffic! We already have to deal with surrounding areas being over crowded, don't ruin chambers park also

All county employees are represented by a labor union. T he employees of the public partnership must also be so represented.

116

I live 2 miles from the park. Why was I not notified of the meeting s?

117

122

Investment in the surrounding areas is needed before money is spent on entertainment facilities or the event space will only be a drain on our community. It will create traffic, pollute our air and water, increase trash and disrupt our wildlife. All that makes university place special will be threatened. Make it worth it.

ResponseID Response 127

136

Would Pierce County consider partnering with University Place to fund a shuttle service from the Environmental Services building lot to help alleviate some of the expected event cong estion at the 62nd St roundabout? If funding for permanent structures (picnic tables, shade trees, trash receptacles, lig hts, restrooms-not portapotties) was secured and included in the desig n and project, as well as more comprehensive, well articulated plans to mitig ate event cong estion and lessen the impact on immediate neig hborhoods, this could be a g reat project.

137

If course more bathrooms and water fountains will be needed. Maybe a small structure for a concession stand.

139

Whatever makes this"exclusive" fancy g olf fiasco pay for itself and g et it off the public support roles!!

6. What topics are most important to you relating to this project? We've heard community interest in managing additional traffic, ease of finding parking, and compatibility with current park uses. ResponseID Response 25

Current park use and neig hborhood impact should not be usurped by promoters trying to g et 50 0 0 paying customers to their new venue.

I am very unhappy with the villas and the hotel. T he walkway behind the current building will be moved and, in that new position, the views will be hampered for walkers. I am unhappy that people will be essentially living on public land in the villas. T hat option is not appropriate for county land.

Maintaining g ood walking paths since those are used 365 days a year. Also increase parking for a larg e dog park area off the central meadow.

I like that even when wedding s or other events are g oing on that the park stays open for people to walk. T his must continue.

T raffic and not damag ing the beautiful park area.

T raffic, noise, use compatibility and cost are all important. And reasons. What is the g oal; is it to produce income? I value Chambers Bay for its nature, peace and quiet, and walking . T his proposal seems to conflict with all of that.

ResponseID Response 37

Noise, traffic and compatibility with current used are all important. I value Chambers Bay for the nature, peace and quiet, and walking . T his proposal conflicts with all of these. I feel like this opportunity for public input is just a formality and the county will g o ahead and do what it wants, just like it did with the hotel project with its 190 "casas" that were not included in the orig inal plan, even thoug h there was sig nificant local opposition. Althoug h public meeting s have been held about this proposal, there are still many people in the affected area that are unaware of it. I have not been able to attend 6:0 0 meeting s, so do not know what the estimated cost of this proposal is, or the amount that has been already spent on the study, drawing s, etc. And do not know the purpose. Is it to g enerate income?

A store where patrons can buy candy, bottled water, snacks, etc

Manag ing traffic is a big deal to me and my family. We moved to this area because there was not a lot of traffic.

T raffic

When there are activities at the stag e area, will the trail areas (above and below) still be accessible? My big g est concerns are heavy traffic, more vandalism of vehicles on Grandview during events, and cong estion on side streets for those of us who live off of Grandview.

T raffic and safety for residents in the area are my big g est concerns

T his infring ement on current Chambers park usag e is pushed by g reedy developers and corrupt politicians. Back off and leave this unique UP jewel alone.

T raffic cong estion and neg ative impact on homeowners who live on or off of any streets/avenues in area, whether Grandview, the main streets that run perpendicular, even Bridg eport.

Creating a first class facility that will add to the quality of life for Pierce County residents. One that will be able to host live music and other events and be a real cultural asset to our community.

NOISE, traffic, traffic noise, litter, g eneral annoyance. T his is a nice field where we can fly kites, walk dog s, let the kids run.

parking /traffic is my main concern. Also, the damag e to the Central Meadow g rass that would occur after each event.

All of the concerns you mention here are major.

ResponseID Response 55

Keeping event traffic off side streets, do not take away the current availability of the park to people that use it daily in the evening hours. Also are you aware that the sewer plants reeks on the daily somewhere between the hours of 7p-11p? Not sure how well event g oers would enjoy that. Additionally, what about the noise pollution? Have you considered how that will effect people that live in the vicinity of Chambers park?

T he fact that you would consider something this intrusive in that area. Leave it the open space it was meant to be!

T raffic cong estion and subsequent increased traffic flow throug h strictly residential, nonevent routes will increase. Worse, sig nificant increase in non-residents, not interested in actual events but rather interested in crowds will navig ate neig hborhoods and the potential for increased car and home prowling will increase g reatly.

I've been a resident of UP for 40 years and it's very hard to see what is happening to Chambers Bay already with the plans of adding a resort. I love walking around the g olf course and enjoying the shore and the meadows. Bring ing in more and more people will chang e the peacefulness and serenity

As listed above I would like to see how the county will mitig ate traffic, include the City of Steilacoom in the traffic discussions, ensure that there will be no parking on neig hborhood street like was done for the US Open, the the current use of the parks and trails will not be affect by these events. Summer is the most used time for the residents of Pierce County to use the park. T he events are truly beneficial to the developer of Chambers Bay Resorts with the restaurant and hotel and Pierce County is helping line the developer pocket. It took me a while to fig ure it out.

T raffic will clearly increase during event hours. Roadway safety to the neig hboring residents use of their personal property is of hig h priority. In and out of our driveways and/or emerg ency services access. All products, food and drink sold on park g rounds should only be available in biodeg radable packag ing . YEAR ROUND Set an example of forward thinking and responsibility to our future on this earth. (You will g enerate ALOT of g reat press)

T raffic and noise. I have always said myself that it would be a beautiful place for concerts and more festival type places. Would be g reat for University Place to have its own 4th of July there.

How does University Place benefit from this?

Everything . T he cost, safety, traffic, the quiet way of life in UP. T his is all under attack. Our leaders obviously does not understand what it means to be a UP resident, what WE want. People live here. We dont want a major event venue in our back yard. Respect that.

Environmental and health impacts. If these could be manag ed in a way that protects all the residents of this area (animal, bird, and fish included), I could possibly support a smaller-scale events plan. I would love to hear that using only sustainable, recyclable, or compostable food and drink packag ing is required; that keeping the neig hborhood clean is a top priority; that cars will be directed toward Bridg eport instead of Cirque. I'm curious if any environmental impact studies have been conducted? If so, I'd like to sug g est making these public on neig hborhood and social media platforms.

T raffic and the dog park. Please consider keeping the g ated area for dog s.

My concerns are the same as those stated above.

Use of space for those who don't attend concerts. Up Bus Yard May be impacted by the flow of traffic since they still have field trips in the summer.

Possible increase in property safety/security (home/automobile). Conflict with g olf or other events.

I would support other features in the meadow. T hat area is hug e and is never fully used. Can an additional play structure be added to match the one at the north end? Also MORE T REES PLEASE. T here is almost no shade in the whole meadow and the afternoon/evening sun beats rig ht down on that place. It makes my family think twice about visiting .

T raffic and parking problems take away from the local use of the park, so let's keep it local, and not try to make it a big concert venue. We already built a g olf course for rich people only, so let's keep the rest of it as a local park.

Making sure there is enoug h parking spots available.

Additional parking in the park area

Manag ing traffic

Don't let the NIMBYs g et you down.

Pierce County needs to set standards and adhere to them. I.e., people now consider Chambers a destination to take their dog s, but the County has not provided adequate sig nag e desig nating leash and off-leash areas. Nor has the county enforced the leash requirements. Also, the County allowed the placement of locks all over the bridg e to become an expectation and defacto rig ht. T he rusting locks make the bridg e an eyesore. What other practices will you allow to become a standard set by a few who want to do them?

Chambers Creek Regional Park – Central Meadow Opportunities & Constraints Study Summary Report 10 June 2019

Executive Summary The objective of this study was to identify key opportunities and constraints for hosting concerts and festivals at the Central Meadow in Pierce County’s Chambers Creek Regional Park. The consulting team interviewed ten regional promoters and experts in hosting concerts and events in public venues, yielding the findings summarized in this report.

Market Area The primary market is within an hour’s drive from the site, encompassing a population of more than 1.6 million and growing as young creatives and families flock to the south sound both for the cultural scene and more affordable housing. Promoters see abundant opportunity for concert programming in this marketplace, and noted it is distinct from the Seattle/Eastside marketplace (important for concert/talent routing between market areas). What’s more, there is little direct competition for events of 3,000-5,000 attendees in the immediate area. Interviewees were, by and large, extremely enthusiastic about the possibilities for developing a new venue at CCRP.

Programming Programming at CCRP would continue to include community-oriented programming ranging from the Kite Festival to the Summer Yoga Series (all produced by Parks). Parks could elect to enter into an exclusive contract with a music promoter to produce a series of concerts. A concert series might begin with 8-10 events per year, with the possibility of growth if the series is popular (to a possible maximum of 15-18 events). Other festivals or multi-day events could be scheduled around the concert series, through close collaboration between the music promoter and Parks.

Infrastructure The most important infrastructure requirements for concerts and larger-scale events at the site are electrical power, water, and internet. Capacity and distribution of these three utilities are critical to the success of increased activity at the Central Meadow. Interviewees were divided on the placement of a future stage, and the need (or not) for it to be a permanent structure, and expressed a desire to visit the site and review the options. However, interviewees agreed that with the train noise, the east end of the Meadow would likely be the preferable location. Parking and traffic capacity is one of the limiting factors in concert attendance. 1,625 spaces available for concert/event use would support 3,500-5,000 attendees, in line with what concert promoters thought would be a viable concert attendance target for this market area. Multi-day events where traffic and parking are more spread out could welcome more attendees. We understand neighborhood traffic capacity for access to and egress from the site is being examined concurrently with this study. Restrooms, access for trucks and loading, and perimeter control were also discussed as important elements of hosting large-scale ticketed events at CCRP.

Chambers Creek Regional Park â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Central Meadow Opportunities & Constraints Study Summary Report

Challenges and Opportunities The main challenges identified by interviewees were: -

Managing public sentiment and building a close relationship with the surrounding neighborhoods so new concert/event activity is seen as an amenity. Right-sizing expectations around net revenue from new concert and event activity, which may support ongoing park upkeep but is unlikely to yield a substantial new net revenue stream for the County. Building the regional identity of a new venue and investing in marketing to draw audiences to an unfamiliar location.

At the same time, interviewees see the site as an exciting opportunity to: -

Develop a successful public-private partnership between Pierce County and a concert/festival promoter and other program providers. Sustain the site through concert and event activity that can help support park upkeep and increase the public value of the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amenities. Bring more people to this location, unique in the Puget Sound area with wide open space, incredible views, and the right infrastructure for large-scale evens.

Next Steps This preliminary study confirmed the market potential of a new concert/event venue at CCRP and identified key considerations for infrastructure planning. We recommend that the County undertake several key tasks as the project moves ahead: 1) Affirm the Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals for new programming at CCRP to form the basis for partnerships and inform programming and financial decisions. 2) Solicit and document public opinion to affirm neighborhood support for expanded programming and gather feedback on the type and frequency of planned programming. 3) Coordinate with (at least) Public Safety and Chambers Bay Golf Course to review programming plans, identify relevant constraints and opportunities for mutual benefit. 4) Study exemplar venues, including but not limited to Marymoor Park, Chateau St. Michelle and Spokane Riverfront Park to understand programming, programming gagreements, level of municipal service, costs, revenues, and attendance. 5) Develop RFQ for programming partner to engage them as soon as possible during the design process.

Chambers Creek Regional Park â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Central Meadow Opportunities & Constraints Study Summary Report

Study Background & Methodology A design team led by ORA was retained by the Pierce County Parks and Recreation Services Department (Parks) to undertake a comprehensive design study to identify options for constructing event stages and related infrastructure in the Central Meadow at Chambers Creek Regional Park Central Meadow (CCRP). The 930-acre park hosts a variety of free public programming presented by Parks, including family activities, festivals, athletic events, and more, with attendance of up to 5,000. The site has also hosted several larger-scale events in the past, and Parks wishes to consider the possibilities for infrastructure investments that might draw more large festivals, concerts, and other programming to the park. To inform the park improvement design scenarios, we undertook a compact study to identify key opportunities and constraints for hosting large events and festivals at CCRP. We conducted a demographic market context review and competitive venue scan, and conducted structured interviews with ten regional promoters and experts in hosting concerts and events in public venues. We discussed market potential, programming typologies, needed infrastructure, trends, challenges, and opportunities. This report summarizes our key findings.1

Market Context Interviewees agreed that the primary market area for large-scale concerts and festivals at CCRP is within an hourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive from the site. On the north end, this includes south Kitsap County, Federal Way, Kent, and Auburn, and to the south it captures Olympia, Shelton, and the surrounding areas. This area has a population of 1.624 million people and is projected to grow to 1.736 million by 2023, an annual growth rate of 1.34% vs 0.83% for the US as a whole.

Interviewees agreed that the South Sound represents a significant market opportunity for concerts and festivals, and saw the area as distinct from the Seattle/Bellevue marketplace. Most affirmed that the distance would allow concerts to be routed from Seattle and Eastside venues, including Chateau Ste. Michelle and Marymoor Park, without competing for audiences. ©2019 Esri

In the market area, there is little direct competition for concerts in with 3,000-5,000 attendees.6 This event size was confirmed as a concert ‘sweet spot’ by most of the promoters we interviewed. At this scale, there are enough excellent artists available for affordable fees, whereas big names are needed to fill larger venues, which carries more expense and risk. 3,000-5,000 seats is also large enough for a concert series to ‘pencil out’ from a business perspective. Both larger and smaller venues exist, but the only nearby outdoor venues – Auburn’s White River Amphitheatre and the Puyallup Fairgrounds – not 3

Promoters we interviewed all expressed enthusiasm about being contacted for this study, and a strong desire to be kept in the loop as program planning moves ahead. They confirmed that, given the right program plan, site infrastructure, and agreement with the County, CCRP is an extremely desirable location and the timing is right for developing a new concert and festival venue for the South Sound.

Programming Current Activity The community-oriented programming currently produced by Pierce County Parks and Recreation Services are anticipated to continue even as a concert and/or festival series was developed. These events include: Kite Festival Cinema on the Sound Santa Mystery Brunch Support the Trails 5k Family Campout

Spring Egg Hunt Family Bingo Night Kidz Kraze Children’s Festival Pitch in for Parks Summer Yoga Series

Concert Series Most interviewees suggested that a concert series at CCRP might start out with 8-10 events per year, with the possibility of growing to 12-15 events annually if the venue is successful. Most thought that 20+ events would be too much for the residential neighborhood and for the area market demand (Marymoor Park hosts 19-22 concerts per summer). Concert promoters suggested that artistic content could include a blend of classic rock, emerging artists, and contemporary stars. The idea of multi-day music festivals was discussed, and could be a possibility, particularly if the County believes that a series of concerts is too much programming for this park. Several promoters noted the possible limitation of neighborhood noise ordinances and curfews. They suggested a reasonable limit is 100-105dBA and a curfew of 11pm are standard, and that 10pm would be workable but limiting. Promoters agreed that the most desirable contractual arrangement would be to have an exclusive agreement to promote music at CCRP. Broadly, the promoter would control the calendar and take on the risk associated with ticket sales; Parks would be responsible for supplying the venue and its upkeep.

Other Festivals & Events The concert promoters we spoke with all acknowledged the possibility of welcoming non-concert festivals and events, even within an exclusive music-promotion contract. These could include food events, community gatherings, charity events, etc., which could bring people to the Park who might not be 10 June 2019

Chambers Creek Regional Park – Central Meadow Opportunities & Constraints Study Summary Report

interested in concert programming. The partnership arrangement for these events would need to be carefully considered by Parks in the context of its arrangement with a selected concert promoter.

Site Infrastructure Power, Water, and Internet Access to electrical power, water, high-speed internet were the highest priority infrastructure requirements cited by interviewees. Those with technical expertise suggested 2 to 3 legs of 3-phase power (to separate lighting and audio power) within 100 feet of the main stage area. Many noted that total power demand for concerts is changing rapidly due to the introduction of LED lighting to the industry. Power recommendations for each disconnect ranged from 200A to 400A, and should be confirmed by the engineering team. Large-scale events of any kind need water and possibly sewer, and food-related festivals require more comprehensive water distribution. Interviewees noted the need for water-bottle filling stations especially. Most noted that current concert and festival technology relies on high-speed internet connectivity and recommended running fiber to the site if possible. For festivals and other events with multiple stages, interviewees strongly suggested power distribution to the perimeter of the Central Meadow, or at least a system of open conduit through which power cables could be pulled as-needed. Concert promoters also emphasized the desire for open conduit to a mid-field sound mix location, to avoid routing audio and lighting control cabling across open audience areas. Project engineers should consider the separation of lighting and audio cables for this location.

Stage & Audience Area Initially, most interviewees envisioned a stage area at the west end of the Central Meadow, overlooking the Sound. However, upon being given information about train noise, limited vehicular access, and possible evening glare, all agreed that the east end of the Meadow would be a more desirable stage location. Some interviewees considered the southeast area of the Meadow as a possible location, but noted that vehicular access to this area would need to be improved. All indicated a desire to visit the site to assess the possibilities. While festival promoters were especially interested in CCRP because it is a large, flat space that could easily accommodate a variety of setups, concert promoters underscored the desirability of sloped or bermed audience seating areas. They all recommended keeping it simple – sloped lawn without tiered hardscaping – since complex outdoor seating arrangements can limit seating capacity. One promoter also mentioned the “beer test” – if a cup of beer tips over when you set it on the lawn, it’s too steep! Interviewees were divided on whether Parks should invest in a permanent stage structure for CCRP. Some promoters suggested that because such a large capital expense would be impossible to recoup, a simple concrete pad would be more than enough for a concert series (promoters would assemble temporary staging). Others strongly recommended ‘doing it right’ and making the investment in attractive stage and support spaces. A few interviewees suggested a middle ground: invest in simple infrastructure in the near term, and build the site’s reputation as an event venue. Then consider future investments based on the priority needs that emerge during the early years of the site’s operations.

Parking & Traffic Design team analyses show a total of 2,178 parking spaces at CCRP, of which 1,625 could be made available exclusively to a concert promoter. This suggests that a feasible capacity for concerts (where 10 June 2019

Many interviewees expressed a desire to understand traffic capacity into and out of the site, particularly for concerts. Auburn’s White River Amphitheatre has had substantial problems with traffic jams before and after concerts, and had to reduce its target seating capacity from 20,000 to 16,000.7 We understand the design team is currently studying ingress and egress to the site for concert conditions.

Other Infrastructure Other site infrastructure and amenities that rose to the top were access to bathrooms and good truck/trailer access. Interviewees were divided on the wisdom of making substantial investments in restrooms, but noted that audiences always prefer something other than a port-a-potty. Support buildings for box office and concessions were considered nice-to-have and not a high priority. Back of house support spaces like dressing rooms are often covered by trailers for outdoor concert series. Finally, we discussed the need for perimeter control and fencing for ticketed events. Most promoters said they would have to visit the site to make an informed assessment, but also noted that with the Sound to the west, the golf course to the north, and the water treatment plan to the south, the likelihood of large numbers of people ‘sneaking in’ is low. Most suggested that access control and good wayfinding at the east end would be the most important.

Challenges and Opportunities Interviewees’ responses were quite consistent regarding the main challenges and opportunities associated with expanding the level of concert and festival activity at CCRP:

Challenges •

Managing neighborhood and public sentiment Interviewees all underscored the importance of a positive and close relationship with the surrounding neighborhood throughout program planning and implementation. Concert and festival activity would bring noise, traffic, alcohol and other impacts to the nearby neighborhood, and promoters cited expectations management in this area as an important key to success.

Chambers Creek Regional Park – Central Meadow Opportunities & Constraints Study Summary Report

•

Right-sizing expectations around net revenue The first question many interviewees asked was “what is the County’s goal in bringing this activity to the site?” They wanted to know if the primary goal is to ‘make money’ vs. bringing activity and vibrancy to a public place. Promoters and public entities alike underscored the importance of understanding that, on average, concerts and festivals in public venues are unlikely to yield substantial net revenue. A promoter with an exclusive arrangement would likely pay Parks a flat rental fee, or have an agreement about a base fee with a percentage of sales beyond a certain threshold. The promoter will be taking the programming risk, and some concerts will make money, others will lose money. While the revenue to Parks from concerts and festivals will help sustain CCRP’s upkeep, it is unlikely to be a substantial net revenue driver for the County, at least in the near term.

•

Building the identity of a new venue While great enthusiasm exists around the possibilities for a new concert/festival venue at CCRP, most promoters identified building the brand identity and marketing reach for a new venue would be a significant near-term challenge. Each suggested partnering with the County to fund the development of a unique identity across all programming, and to expand awareness about the venue during project implementation.

Opportunities •

Developing a successful public-private partnership The site and its market context represent a perfect opportunity for Pierce County to establish a robust partnership with a concert/festival promoter and other program providers. This partnership is ideally positioned to create value for both parties, as well as others that may be engaged for one-off events.

•

Sustaining the site through concert and event activity Although substantial net revenue from a concert/festival series is not something to count on, revenues from a partnership with a concert promoter would yield revenues that would support annual grounds upkeep and general maintenance at this important public amenity. More line-ofbusiness analysis is needed, but it is possible that the concert series revenue could offset certain current costs associated with free public programming.

•

Bringing more people to this unique location Interviewees were enthusiastic about bringing this unique site into the public consciousness and helping more people to enjoy it. The open space, views, and accessibility are unmatched in the Puget Sound area, and it represents an extraordinary opportunity to create public value by increasing activity.

•

Serving the growing South Sound audience market Each of the promoters we spoke with were enthusiastic about the marketplace and had been informally thinking about an outdoor venue in the South Sound. As the region’s creative centerof-gravity continues to move south, the opportunities to serve this market grow broader and broader. Interviewees agreed that the timing is right to develop a venue to serve this marketplace.

Chambers Creek Regional Park – Central Meadow Opportunities & Constraints Study Summary Report

Next Steps This preliminary study indicates strong potential for developing a new concert/festival venue at CCRP. In addition to continuing design efforts around site infrastructure, we recommend the County undertake the following tasks in parallel, with the objective of engaging a programming partner prior to the completion of design:

1) Affirm the County’s Goals for CCRP When asked about key next steps, most promoters suggested that the County would need to clearly define its goals for bringing concert or festival activity to CCRP. These goals would form the basis for soliciting programming partnerships, and would inform the type(s) of programming planned for the site, as well as the agreement with a programming partner. Key questions include: -

What does the County hope to achieve by expanding programming at CCRP? How might the project serve the County’s goals of improving vibrancy and quality of life? Does the County have specific revenue goals for the project? What kinds of new programming does the County envision at CCRP?

2) Solicit and Document Public Opinion We understand there is a public engagement process associated with the design effort already under way, and it’s possible this will be sufficient to document public opinion about the project. However, we recommend that extra efforts to engage the local neighborhood be undertaken, both to assess general support and to solicit feedback about the type and frequency of programming planned. Promoters all indicated a desire for solid, well-documented neighborhood buy-in as part of developing programming.

3) Coordinate with Relevant Entities An expansion in activity will require, at minimum, coordination with Public Safety during concert events, and with Chambers Bay Golf Course and the nearby planned resort. We recommend engaging these groups (and any other relevant County agencies) soon to solicit feedback about program planning and identify any relevant constraints.

4) Study Exemplar Venues Through this study process, a number of comparable venues have been identified. We recommend more in-depth studies of these outdoor venues (and perhaps others) including level and type of programming, programming agreements, level of municipal service, costs, revenues, and attendance. These studies would inform the development of an RFQ/RFP for a program partner, help support the County’s position during contract development, and help flesh out what this “line of business” could do for the County. Comparator venues could include, but may not be limited to Marymoor Park, Chateau St. Michelle, and Spokane Riverfront Park.

5) Develop RFQ for Programming Partner Based on the results of the tasks above, the County should prioritize issuing an RFQ (or RFP) for a program partner. It would be ideal to engage this partner during the design process so their expertise can help inform key decisions. Even if a full partnership agreement is not executed during design, a mutuallyagreeable letter-of-intent could facilitate a partner’s involvement as the contract and programming details are being worked out. Inviting prospective program partners to visit the site would be a near-term way to move this task ahead. 10 June 2019

Interview Outline Project: Re:

Chambers Creek Regional Park: Opportunities & Constraints Study Producer/Promoter Interviews

Project Background We have been asked by Pierce County Parks and Recreation to study options for event infrastructure at Chambers Creek Regional Park, directly adjacent to Chambers Bay Golf Course (the site of the 2015 US Open). The 930-acre park has a view of Puget Sound and a large, mostly flat lawn known as the Great Meadow. They currently hosts a variety of free public programming, including family activities, festivals, athletic events, and more, with attendance of up to 8,500. The site has also hosted several larger-scale events in the past, and Parks wishes to consider the possibilities for infrastructure investments that might draw more large festivals, concerts, and other programming to the park. An event promoter would have exclusive control over 3 lots with a total of 1625 spaces â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an additional 550 spaces would be held for general park use. We anticipate this parking works for 3500-4500 attendees. Vehicular access is being studied by a traffic engineer concurrently with this study. At present, there is no fence/perimeter control, nor installed stages or power. Pierce County Parks is considering substantial investments in infrastructure to support concert and festival uses. Thank you in advance for considering the questions below - we look forward discussing them during our call.

Questions Would promoters be interested in a new venue in this market area? Why? What types and scale of events might be right for this venue? How often might they occur? What site amenities/ features/ infrastructure would have to be in place vs nice to have? E.g.: -

Power disconnects Parking spaces Perimeter control / fence Permanent stage(s) Permanent bathrooms

Concessions & other support buildings Nearby lodging Good traffic ingress/egress Truck access / loading What else?

What might the typical arrangement with the Parks department look like? Risk? Services? Fees? What challenges do you see for Parks in this effort? For promoters? What opportunities do you see at this site? What major questions would have to be addressed before considering this further?

Executive Summary Pierce County Parks and Recreation is conducting a feasibility study for an event stage in the Central Meadow of Chambers Creek Regional Park. Fehr & Peers evaluated the traffic management options and plans for any resulting events. This report details the traffic management plan and possible traffic mitigation options for events at Chambers Creek Regional Park. This Event Traffic Management Plan (TMP) includes information on data collection, analysis of traffic

operations at key study intersections, and potential management strategies for traffic before and after an event. Event traffic was analyzed for the worst-case scenario, a weekday event during the school year. However, most events will likely occur during the summer and on weekends. Event generated traffic is expected to increase pre-event southbound travel times by about 12 minutes on Grandview Drive, from Cirque Drive to 64th Street/Chambers Creek Road. Less delay is expected for westbound Chambers Creek Road traffic between Bridgeport Way and the event entrance. Existing baseline traffic volumes are much lower for post-event departure times because events would let out around 10PM. Adjacent roadways are expected to be heavily congested immediately following each event. Because all event traffic must exit from one access point, effects on existing neighborhood traffic and nearby intersections are expected to be minor. Event traffic is expected to clear within 1.5 hours of event completion. Figure 1 shows recommended traffic control practices to be used before and after events. Event traffic notice signs placed in key areas will notify local traffic of events so they can seek alternate routes. Traffic control officers at intersections near the event parking entrance/exit will work together to distribute traffic and assign rightof-way.

Introduction

Pierce County Parks and Recreation is studying the feasibility of an event stage in the Central Meadow at Chambers Creek Regional Park. The event stage would attract visitors from the region and increase traffic volumes during the hours before events (5-7 PM) and after events (8-10 PM). This report analyzes existing capacity of the roadways leading to the park, potential transportation impacts generated by an event and evaluates measures to mitigate these impacts.

Project Description Chambers Creek Regional Park is a 930-acre site located at 6320 Grandview Drive W in University Place, approximately 20 minutes west of Interstate 5 and immediately north of the Town of Steilacoom. The Central Meadow area of the park attracts many visitors for the views of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains, extensive trails, large lawn area, dog park, and bridge to access the beach. This study focuses on the installation of an event stage in the Central Meadow, directly west of the Chambers Bay Golf Course. The event stage would support community events, festivals, concerts, and various activities. The Central Meadow site plan in Appendix A shows the location of the proposed event stage. Attendees of events at the Central Meadow Stage would be instructed to enter/exit the park from Chambers Creek Road via a single access point at the Chambers Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility. Event parking access would be restricted to the private access road and prohibited from the entrance at Grandview Drive and 62nd Street Court W, preventing conflicts between event traffic and traffic from non-event park patrons. Event parking would be provided to the south of the Central Meadow on the Event Lawn lots as shown in Figure 2. Parking in the Central Meadow Lot, located on the northern side of the meadow, will be limited to ADA accessible parking. 3

Study Area Chambers Creek Regional Park is located in the southwest region of University Place, WA. The Central Meadow portion of the park is located between the Puget Sound to the west and Grandview Drive to the east.

Chambers Bay Resort Hotel The Chambers Bay Resort Hotel is a planned new development within Chambers Creek Regional Park. The plans include the construction of an 80-room hotel, event/meeting space, spa, 200-seat restaurant and bar and 80 golf villas. The resort has yet to begin construction. Resort traffic was included in existing baseline traffic volumes to provide an analysis of existing conditions as if the resort was already completed. Forecasted traffic volumes generated specifically by the resort are found in the Traffic Impact Analysis for Chambers Bay Resort Hotel, prepared by SCJ Alliance (February 2017).

Analysis Periods Weekday peak hours for the pre-event (6-7 PM) and post-event (9-10 PM) were chosen as the analysis periods for this study. Weekday evening concerts were studied because they correspond to the highest peak period on the adjacent streets. This period also represents the time when event generated traffic will be highest. The analysis of impacts during this period will yield the highest impact scenario for a given study intersection.

Analysis Methodology Level of Service (LOS) describes the operating performance of an intersection or roadway. LOS is measured quantitatively and reported on a scale from A to F, representing the least and greatest delay respectively. LOS was evaluated using Synchro 10 software and HCM 6th Edition methodology for each signalized or stop-controlled study intersection. This methodology has different quantitative evaluations for different types of intersections: for signalized, roundabouts, and all-way stop controlled intersections, the LOS is provided for the overall intersection (weighted average of all approach delays); whereas only the worst movement delay is reported for two- or one-way stop-controlled intersections. SIDRA 8 software was used to analyze roundabout controlled study intersection LOS. Table 1 provides a brief description of each LOS letter designation and an accompanying average delay per vehicle for both signalized and unsignalized intersections.

Synchro and Sidra LOS analyses are the standard best practices for measuring impacts at stop controlled/signalized and roundabout intersections respectively. However, these methodologies do not consider delay from downstream intersections or metering of upstream intersections. For this analysis, it is expected that downstream queues created by vehicles entering the site pre-event would create impacts not captured by the LOS analysis. Additionally, in post-event conditions, the limited number of exits from the site will meter how quickly traffic is able to leave the site and arrive at the study intersections. To better understand these impacts, SimTraffic was used to evaluate travel time. SimTraffic is a microsimulation model included within the Synchro suite that can consider these variables. Travel time was averaged over five statistically valid runs and compared the baseline with event traffic. Changes in travel time can be a better indicator of the experience users can expect regarding how much longer it takes them to travel along the adjacent streets with and without park events.

3 Existing Conditions Purpose The existing conditions analysis is conducted to study the intersections as they operate today without an event. If any of the study intersections have existing operational deficiencies, they would be identified here.

Traffic Volumes Vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle counts were collected for study intersections 1â&#x20AC;&#x201C;6 while local schools were in session on June 13, 2019. Both pre-event and post-event times were collected. These counts captured typical park, commuting, and resident travel patterns on a date with favorable weather. Study intersections 7 and 8 were added to the analysis later, counts were collected on June 27th, 2019. Projected traffic volumes for the Chambers Bay Resort Hotel were added to the collected counts to estimate future background traffic conditions when an event may be taking place at the park. Baseline traffic volumes are shown Figure 3 and Figure 4.

LOS Analysis The baseline considers the existing traffic volumes on the adjacent roadway with the addition of the resort traffic expected to be generated. The results of this analysis are reported in Table 2 (see Appendix B for the detailed LOS reports). All study intersections operate with minimal delay for the weekday pre- and post-event peak hour under existing conditions. No study intersections fall below the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standard of LOS C.

The Synchro and Sidra LOS analysis is the standard best practice for measuring impacts at stop controlled/signalized and roundabout intersections. However, under these conditions, they may not capture the full impacts expected during the peak conditions, pre and post event. To better understand these impacts, SimTraffic was used to evaluate the change in travel times between the baseline and the baseline with event traffic conditions. This evaluates the experience users can expect as far as a difference in travel time with and without events. SimTraffic analysis was completed using baseline traffic volumes (existing plus resort generated) and travel times were estimated. For pre-event analysis period baseline conditions, travel time between Grandview/Cirque to the event entrance in the southbound direction was found to be approximately six minutes. For the post-event baseline conditions, the northbound travel time from the event exit to

Chambers Creek TMP

Chambers Creek TMP September 19, 2019

Grandview/Cirque was also found to be approximately six minutes. This indicates that under both preand post-event baseline conditions, congestion along the corridor in the peak travel direction is minimal. Travel times for baseline conditions for pre- and post-event analysis period are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6.

5 Event Conditions Purpose The event conditions are analyzed to determine transportation impacts of events on the surrounding transportation network, as well as inform traffic management strategies.

Trip Generation Vehicle trip generation was calculated based on available parking stalls. From the Chambers Creek Stage Parking Analysis completed previously by Fehr and Peers, 1,500 parking stalls were designated as available for event parking at the Central Meadow Stage. The parking constraint also setâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the maximum trip generation for an event as 1,500 trips to and from the park. For events starting at 7PM, it was assumed that approximately 2/3rds of attendees will arrive from 6-7PM, the pre-event analysis period. For the Post-event, it is expected that all attendees will depart within the hour of 9-10PM following the conclusion of an event. Trip generation estimates used are summarized in Table 3.

Trip Distribution and Assignment The total weekday Pre-Event Peak-Hour trips generated were assigned to the roadway network using a trip distribution developed from a travel demand model for Pierce County, event travel patterns, and local knowledge of traffic patterns. The trip distributions for the study intersections are shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 as the percentage of inbound and outbound trips generated by the event travelling through each intersection. The traffic volumes analyzed for the pre- and post-event traffic are shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10.

Impact Analysis Traffic for event conditions was modeled using Synchro/SimTraffic. Modeling the existing conditions plus event traffic with no changes to the current traffic control demonstrated that traffic would be congested during the pre-event and post-event periods, and in some locations gridlocked. For example, traffic on the northbound and westbound legs of intersection four were completely stopped due the large number of event traffic vehicles turning eastbound right. In order to combat the congestion modeled with the current traffic control, a mitigation strategy was developed through an iterative process to determine the level of traffic control that would result in delayed but acceptable conditions. The below analysis was modeled with the following proposed mitigations: •

Chambers Creek Road/64th Street would include a traffic control officer during the pre-event and post-event period. In Synchro, this was modeled as a traffic signal as officers assign right-of-way in a similar manner to an actuated traffic signal.

•

Chambers Creek Road/Wastewater Treatment Plant Access Road would also include a traffic control officer to assign right-of-way and was modeled as a traffic signal.

•

Wastewater Treatment Plant Access Road was converted to a two-lane one-way instead of the existing two-way configuration to allow for increased roadway capacity. The Access Road was modeled as an inbound one-way for pre-event times to allow arriving attendees to use both lanes. Then for post-event times the direction of the one-way is switched to outbound to allow exiting attendees to use both lanes.

LOS & Delay In order to understand the impact of event traffic, pre- and post-event peak hour LOS was evaluated with the addition of event traffic. During the pre-event peak hour, two intersections are degraded below the City standard of LOS C. The Chambers Creek Road/64th Street W intersection is degraded from LOS C to F, while the Chambers Lane/Chambers Creek Road is degraded from LOS C to D. During the post-event period all intersections continue to operate at or above LOS C. LOS and delay results are shown in Table 4. Appendix C has LOS reports for study intersections from Sidra and Synchro.

Travel Time Travel time results for the pre-event period indicate that under Event conditions, congestion in the southbound direction from Grandview/Cirque to the Event Entrance would result in a travel time of approximately 18 minutes. This corresponds to a 12-minute increase in travel time from the baseline conditions. During the post-event period with event generated traffic, travel time remains similar to the baseline conditions. Travel time from the Event Entrance to Grandview/Cirque was found to be approximately seven minutes, a one-minute increase from baseline conditions. Travel time estimates modeled with traffic officers at intersections Chambers Creek Road/64 th Street and Chambers Creek Road/WWTP Access Road are shown for pre- and post-event periods in Figure 11 and Figure 12.

Chambers Creek TMP September 19, 2019

Summary of Results Pre- and post-event traffic was modeled with two traffic control officers stationed at the critical intersections. For the pre-event arrival time (6-7PM) it was estimated there would be an increased travel time from event traffic on Grandview Drive and Chambers Creek Road. Travel time on Grandview Drive from Cirque Drive to 64th Street/Chambers Creek Road is expected to increase to about 18 minutes. About 2-3 minutes of travel time is expected on Chambers Creek Road from Bridgeport Way to Chambers Creek Road/64th Street. Because of the faster travel times, traffic may rebalance to allow for more equal delay across each route to the event parking areas. Post-event departure times (9-10PM) had much lower existing/background traffic volumes than pre-event arrival times. SimTraffic modeling showed a negligible increase in travel times between baseline and event conditions. Because all event traffic must exit from one access point, effects on existing neighborhood traffic and nearby intersections are expected to be minor as traffic will be metered out of the event by traffic control officers. Congestion and delay following an event will be present on the park roadway system, between parking lots and the event exit at Chambers Creek Road. Event traffic is expected to clear within 1.5 hours of event end.

5 Traffic Management Strategies Proposed Event Traffic Control Based on the iterative process described in Section 4, a management strategy was produced for weekday evening events. Traffic control officers would work together to distribute traffic and assign right-of-way at two critical intersections (shown in Figure 13): â&#x20AC;˘

Intersection 4: Chambers Creek Road/64th Street W

â&#x20AC;˘

Intersection 5: Chambers Creek Road/Wastewater Treatment Plant Access Road

We recommend that traffic control officers control these intersections for approximately 1-2 hours pre-

event and 1-2 hours post-event. This timeframe should cover most event attendees pre-event, and traffic officers can end their control of each intersection once queued traffic has left the area.

Travel Demand Management Strategies The level of mitigation practices used by event organizers may depend on specific characteristics of an event. Typical operational characteristics of a planned special event are event time of occurrence, event time and duration, event type, expected attendance, and audience accommodations. Each of these characteristics are variables that influence the potential impacts on the adjacent roadway network and the type of traffic management practices required of the event organizers by Pierce County. The County will need to consider the specifics of each event when determining how to mitigate event traffic impacts. The recommendation of intersection traffic control officers was based on analysis of a weekday evening concert event with maximum attendance. Other practices may be needed to counter the impacts of event

Chambers Creek TMP September 19, 2019

traffic on adjacent roadways or to improve the travel experience for neighbors and event attendees, depending on the characteristics of the event. These are some strategies that should be considered when planning event traffic management solutions. •

Event traffic notice signs (electronic or temporary) to notify local traffic of event traffic so they can seek alternative routes. Possible locations for event traffic notice signs are shown in Figure 13. This strategy is relatively low cost and is recommended for every event.

•

Provide incentives to attendees to stagger their arrivals or departures from events to reduce the surge of traffic near the park. This could be done by organizing pre-event and/or post-event activities or offering discounted parking fees for attendees who arrive early.

•

Provide incentives to arrive via shared or alternative modes of transportation such as transit or TNCs during ticket purchase.

•

Offer carpool parking discounts and/or preferential parking locations. These discounts would likely be targeted to 3+ or 4+ occupant vehicles as most event attendees will already arrive with two or more people per vehicle.

•

Communicate event related traffic and optimal routes to attendees and local residences through event and park related publications, such as on-line forums, e-mail blasts, and websites. This would allow residents of the area to avoid routes used by attendees, thus reducing background traffic and minimizing inconveniences.

Chambers Creek TMP September 19, 2019

Conclusion The proposed Central Meadow Stage will increase traffic and delay around Chambers Creek Regional Park during events. Events at the stage are expected to mainly increase travel times before the event and cause congestion (mostly for event attendees) immediately following the event. Event generated traffic is expected to increase pre-event southbound travel times to about 18 minutes on Grandview Drive, between Cirque Drive and 64th Street/Chambers Creek Road. Less delay is expected for westbound Chambers Creek Road traffic between Bridgeport Way and the event entrance. Event traffic is expected to clear within 1.5 hours of event completion. To mitigate the impacts of traffic from events it is recommended that event traffic notice signs and traffic control officers are used to distribute traffic and reduce delay at critical intersections.

Chambers Creek Park Bandstand with Noise Impact Predictions

Michael Yantis and Mary Hofbeck Stantec

Date:

August 5, 2019

Reference: Site Sound Level Measurements This memo serves as an executive summary of measurements that were conducted at the Chambers Creek Regional Park located on Grandview Drive West in University Place, Washington. The goal of this analysis is to determine the noise sources in the current environment and to determine the potential impact that a new stage on the site would have at perimeter locations specific to the adjacent Chambers Bay Golf Course and the new Chambers Bay Resort Development. • •

•

Noise measurements were taken at three locations in the park for a three-hour period (measurement positions shown in Figure 1 as P1, P2, P3). Notable events included train pass-byes, helicopter flyovers and plane flyovers. These events are captured and reported in the table. Of the three locations measured, the location most close to the railroad tracks (P1) was approximately 500 feet east of the tracks. The middle location (P2) was roughly 1,000 feet from the tracks and was close to the center of the park. The rear location (P3) was roughly 1,500 feet from the tracks, about the same distance as the beginning of the parking lot to the north There were several noise sources identified as events at this site. • Train Noise • Airplane • Helicopters • Military Helicopters A summary of the most significant events is given in the table below:

An audience location that would include the forward measurement location would be problematic. Measured noise levels exceeded 80 dBA and they would compete with the sound from a music event.

Site Sound Level Measurements

Sound levels at the other two locations would be compatible with an amplified music event. Sound levels from the music would be expected to be in the 80’s dBA and although a helicopter flyover or train pass-by would be audible, they would not overshadow the music. The northbound freight train would be the longest event. The trains are long and they arrive from the south, being visible and audible for some time prior to arriving in front of the park.

Proposed Stage Noise Impact Predictions (SoundPLAN) Project Layout and Assumptions Figure 1 below shows the layout of the park and the adjacent receiver locations. It also shows the 2 locations of proposed stage sites. • The site elevations were acquired using Google Earth. • Ground is assumed to be mostly grass or vegetation less than 2 feet tall. Occasional larger vegetation does not affect the predictions. • Chambers Bay Resort Buildings & Environmental Services Buildings (ESB) reflections taken into consideration • Source assumptions: o Genelec-1029A loudspeakers with the specifications shown in Figure 2. ▪ 2 loudspeakers per stage ▪ Mounted on poles height of 8 feet above the stage platform. ▪ One located front stage left and one located front stage right.

Figure 2. Loudspeaker data inputs to SoundPLAN; Sound Power Levels and Directivity. Predicted Results At the west edge of the new Chambers Bay Resort Development, the predicted levels range between 49-53 dBA which is greater than the current background level of 48-50 dBA. The background noise levels (referenced here) were also part of the site noise measurements take on May 4, 2019. Music coming from the stage will be easily audible in the midst of the background noise, whether the West or the South proposed stage locations are chosen. It will seem like the dominant part of the noise environment even though its level

is not that much more than the existing background noise. Noise Contour Maps are provided in detail to show the noise predictions around the site for the two different proposed stage locations (Figures 3-4).
