Commission hears Edgewater Park rezoning options; park-zone consolidation could make specific rezones unnecessary
Summary
Staff proposed consolidating two park land-use zones, which would make two separate Edgewater Park rezones moot; one parcel (9132 Edgewater Drive SW) was proposed to be rezoned from residential to park to improve public water access.
Lakewood planning staff told the commission on June 3 that consolidating two park land-use zones into a single open-space-and-recreation designation would simplify park policy and make two separate rezones for Edgewater Park unnecessary.
Tiffany Spear explained the parks department recommended removing the two-zone distinction and creating a single zone that preserves the uses previously allowed in both zones. "If you adopt the one I just referred to getting rid of the two separate park zones, this becomes moot," Spear said, referring to the parcel redesignation and the rezoning of 9132 Edgewater Drive SW to expand public access and water access.
Staff said the rezoning proposal for 9132 Edgewater Drive SW would change the parcel from residential to park to improve public access. If commissioners choose not to consolidate park zones, the parcel redesignation and rezoning would be considered on their own merits.
No formal action was taken; the items are part of the package scheduled for a June 17 public hearing.
