Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the comprehensive land use plan amendment. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
The City has added three (3) new public parks in the last couple years and since the last Comprehensive Plan update. All of the older City parks have been designated in the Comprehensive Plan as P/OS (Park/Open Space). This proposed action would do the same and amend the land use designation for:
• Lexington Athletic Complex at 121st and Lexington (from LDR and MDR)
• Legacy Creek Park at 127th and Legacy Creek Parkway (from LDR)
• Harpers Park at 129th Lane-west of Flanders (from LDR)
The proposed change acknowledges within the Comprehensive Plan the public nature and use of the parks.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
