The Northwest Open Space Master Plan identified this use to be on-going. Currently, Mountain Pines Christmas Tree Farm (Mountain Pines) operates a Christmas Tree Farm and Pumpkin Patch on the property. They are permitted to grow strawberries, vegetables, run a vendor fruit stand and bring in cut trees to supplement their inventory on the property subject to written approval by the City. The agreement requires that the Licensee's replant new pine trees on at least one quarter (1/4) of the property each year, and to pay all operational costs, including water usage, for the farm purposes. Mountain Pines has been operating the Christmas Tree Farm and replanted all the dead trees and has replanted annually as required under the license agreement. The most recent planting occurred in early 2008. These trees would be ready to sell during the 2012 Christmas season. Mountain Pines has requested an amended license agreement to allow them to harvest these trees. The amended license agreement includes language allowing access to these areas for the special event parking only. The remainder of the license agreement contains the same terms and conditions as the current license agreement with the term running through January 31, 2011. Staff recommends approval of the amended license agreement with Mountain Pines Christmas Tree Farm. Agenda Report Page 2 May 20, 2008 COMMISSION/BOARD REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Not Applicable FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City currently receives approximately $750 rent annually from this license agreement and has no associated costs. It is anticipated that this rent level will continue to occur.

SITUATION: The City-owned Northwest Open Space includes a small parcel between Camino Capistrano and Interstate 5, north of Trabuco Creek that has been operated as a live Christmas Tree Farm since the mid-1960s. The Northwest Open Space Master Plan identified this use to be on-going. Currently, Mountain Pines Christmas Tree Farm (Mountain Pines) operates a Christmas Tree Farm and Pumpkin Patch on the property. They are permitted to grow strawberries, vegetables, run a vendor fruit stand and bring in cut trees to supplement their inventory on the property subject to written approval by the City. The agreement requires that the Licensee's replant new pine trees on at least one quarter (1/4) of the property each year, and to pay all operational costs, including water usage, for the farm purposes. As part of the annual pumpkin patch and Christmas tree sales event, Mountain Pines conducts a City approved special event which includes children's rides and activities, pony rides, lights, etc. These events have been very successful and are well attended. However, the property identified in the existing license agreement does not provide for sufficient parking during these special events. Visitors to the City's agricultural area are faced with parking along Camino Capistrano and turning in and out of the small Tree Farm along a curved part of the road with limited visibility. In an effort to provide a safe access for visitors during the special events, Mountain Pines has proposed to use the remainder of the Tree Farm property and the City's adjacent property for parking and safe pedestrian access during these events only. These areas would not be used during the remainder of the year for any purpose. Agenda Report Page 2 October 16, 2007 The amended license agreement includes language allowing access to these areas for the special event parking only. The remainder of the license agreement contains the same terms and conditions as the current license agreement with the term running through January 31, 2011. Staff recommends approval of the amended license agreement with Mountain Pines Christmas Tree Farm. COMMISSION/BOARD REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Not Applicable FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The City currently receives approximately $750 rent annually from this license agreement and has no associated costs.
