Council approves deed transfer of small King's Terrace parcel back to original grantor

Apr 13, 2026

Council authorized staff and the mayor to prepare and execute a deed transferring a small green-space tract in King's Terrace back to the original grantor after staff recommended the city reverse the prior gift because the city does not maintain similarly sized parcels.

The full story

City staff told the council the parcel in question, known as King's Terrace, had been intended as pocket park space but is too small to serve typical city park functions and adds a unique maintenance burden. Staff recommended returning the tract to the original grantor by deed to reduce maintenance obligations and maintain consistency with how the city manages other green spaces.
