City moratorium on park land imposed
Caleb Soptelean
The city last week passed a moratorium on new park land.
“We have twenty-six and a half acres of park land right now” with no playground equipment or other amenities on it, City Manager David Cockrell said.
“We have eight (acres) with some equipment,” he said, noting some of that land needs improvement.
Cockrell presented two options on the issue.
Council voted 7-0 to go with Option B, which will place a moratorium on park land unless city planning staff believes it is needed.
Option A would have implemented the moratorium without the caveat for city staff’s opinion.
City Attorney Jonathan Miller crafted the language, which would apply to pending developments and includes an emergency clause, which means it goes into effect immediately.
