Development and Operation of Public Land in the Hahamongna Watershed Park

Description

The City of Pasadena (City) is soliciting proposals for a development and operations agreement and a long-term lease for an approximately 3.5-acre developed area, and an approximately 2.5-acre Oak Woodland area, within a 30-acre City owned parcel of land (portion of parcel APN #5823-003-911). The site is the former location of the Oak Grove Ranger Station and the project is located in the north-west end of the Hahamongna Watershed Park at 4550 Oak Grove Drive in Pasadena. The property is zoned Open-Space (OS). The site is currently occupied by six concrete block buildings and a small parking lot, with a combined building square footage of 14,389 ft2 that was previously operated by the U.S. Forest Service. The Oak Woodland area is just south and adjacent to the previous ranger station. It was purchased by the City in 2005 with a covenant restricting the use to open space and park and recreation uses. The surrounding uses encompassing the 30-acre site include a Los Angeles County fire camp, a public equestrian center, a non-profit equestrian organization, an adaptive riding lessons and equine-assisted therapy organization, a nursery, a day camp for children ages 3-14, and the Oak Woodland natural area.
