Committee supports county-initiated rezoning to create a 'public land/park' category
Summary
Councilman Cartier introduced ordinance 25-1-22 to reclassify county-owned parks and public lands into a distinct zoning category; sponsor described the change as a corrective measure to increase transparency in the 1997 Unified Development Code.
Councilman Cartier introduced ordinance 25-1-22 to the New Castle County Land Use Committee, describing the proposal as a county‑initiated rezoning that would create a specific public‑land/park zoning category. Cartier said the change corrects an omission when the county adopted the Unified Development Code in 1997 and would improve transparency so the public recognizes lands that are county‑owned and protected as parks.
The committee had no substantive questions and no members of the public requested to speak on this agenda item during the meeting. The sponsor indicated he plans to support the ordinance at the upcoming council session.
