Commissioner Armen Orion urges more north-side open space as housing grows
Summary
Commissioner Armen Orion asked city planning to identify small family-park sites on Indio's north side amid new housing development, stressing resident requests for nearby play space and proposing evaluation near a shopping center area.
Commissioner Armen Orion urged the Indio City Commission to prioritize expansion of parkland on the city’s north side as new housing developments move forward. Orion told colleagues that residents have requested small family parks closer to new housing and asked the planning committee to review available parcels near a shopping-center area to accommodate children and families.
Orion said the north side has seen a lot of new housing and that a nearby small park would serve families who otherwise must travel to other parts of the city. He described the need as a common request from residents and asked staff and the planning committee to look for potential spaces.
Staff clarified that the agenda’s department updates that evening covered the senior center only and that the parks items (Yuca and Mulligan) would be reported in a subsequent agenda section. No formal park acquisition or funding vote took place at the meeting; Orion’s remarks were a request for staff review.
