Ammon council approves rezone of Target Park to HC‑1, staff encouraged to obtain appraisal
Summary
The council rezoned Target Park from PSC to HC‑1 and discussed utility easements; staff and the city attorney recommended an appraisal to set a minimum for any future sale or auction of park property.
The Ammon City Council on April 16 voted to rezone Target Park from PSC to HC‑1 after staff described utilities and easement needs for the site.
City Engineer Morgan Stewart noted an existing storm drain under the park and said the city would need an easement for utilities. Council President Scott Wessel and City Administrator Micah Austin asked whether an appraisal should be completed to establish a minimum bid if the property were moved to public auction. City Attorney Weston Davis (participating by Zoom) also recommended obtaining an appraisal to protect the city.
Councilmember Kris Oswald moved to approve the rezone and Councilmember Nolan Wheeler seconded; the motion passed unanimously on a roll‑call vote.
Next steps: staff will pursue an appraisal and work with the city engineer to document required easements and any utility relocations prior to any future sale or disposal action.
