Commission authorizes representatives to press for Robinson Park rezoning at May 4 hearing
Summary
The Citizen Sustainability Commission authorized Patty to speak on its behalf at a May 4 town hearing to request rezoning of two properties for parkland and agreed that Miguel and Lee would appear to express CSC support; the commission formalized the action with a recorded motion and voice vote.
Commission members discussed the Robinson Park proposal and the timing of council and planning review. One commissioner proposed that the CSC formally authorize Patty to appear before town council at the May 4 hearing and read a statement asking that the referenced properties be rezoned to parkland. The commission agreed that having an authorized representative present CSC positions would put the request on record.
The commission moved and approved a motion directing staff and representatives (Miguel and Lee) to attend the May 4 Planning and Zoning hearing to express CSC support and asking Patty to speak on the CSC's behalf. Members discussed drafting a couple of explanatory sentences so the council audience would understand why the CSC supports rezoning. The motion was carried by voice vote; members agreed to finalize talking points prior to the hearing.
Next steps: the commission will prepare a short statement for Patty to read at the May 4 hearing, schedule site visits (Robinson and Beulah Road) to gather visuals and data, and coordinate with staff and council liaisons ahead of the hearing.
