What is the Parks Zone?

The Parks Zone would be a new zoning classification in the City. This zone would establish specific land use regulations for development within the zone. The intent of regulating land use in these designated parks is to ensure that parks are developed and operated in a manner consistent with City plans, including the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan, and City code.

The proposed Parks Zone development regulations would perform several important functions. The Parks Zone purpose would articulate why the zone is being established. The zoning designation criteria would determine what conditions are required for land to be included within the Parks Zone. The land use regulations would detail which uses are allowed within the Parks Zone. Development standards would guide development within the parks zone. Finally, definitions will describe the key terms used in the zoning regulations.
