Consider Amendment to Master Park and Trail Map

The City's Park and Recreation Commission is considering a revised Master Park and Trail Map.  This document is important for future park and trail planning, especially as it relates to Park Dedication requirements for new developments.  The Planning Commission is asked to make a recommendation as to the consistency of the proposed Master Park and Trail Map and the 2030 Comprehensive Plan.

None required.

The Master Park and Trail Map provides additional detail, using the Future Land Use Map in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan as the base.  This is similar to the multiple zoning districts that provide additional detail to the more generalize land use categories in the Comprehensive Plan.  The Planning Commission's task is to ensure that the areas categorized as Park, Proposed Park, and Open Space are properly identified as PARK in the Comprehensive Plan.

Staff, per direction of City Council, is in the process of reviewing all City-owned parcels and their current use.  As a sub-set of that request, Staff is creating additional categories on the Master Park and Trail Map to illustrate the type of park or open space the area is.  These proposed categories are:

• Park
• Open Space
• Proposed Park
• Quasi-Public Park (Golf Course, Scout Camp, School)
• Regional-State
• Trail Corridor

Review of the Master Park and Trail Plan is being handled as part of regular staff duties.

Staff recommends approval of the Master Park and Trail Map

Motion to recommend that the City Council adopt the revised Master Park and Trail Map.
