Commission recommends annexation of Lake Mattie Park site for city park use
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended approval of Future Land Use and zoning amendments to annex and designate about 26.49 acres near Lake Mattie as City, Public Uses, Parks with Open Use Agricultural (OUA) zoning; staff said the City prefers a natural park rather than a new sports complex. The zoning recommendations were forwarded to the City Commission.
Staff asked the Planning Commission to recommend approval of Future Land Use and Zoning Map amendments to annex roughly 26.49 acres at Lake Mattie Road and CR 559 for City, Public Uses, Parks and Open Use Agricultural (OUA) zoning. Community Development Director Julie Womble said the City envisions a natural park for the site rather than a sports complex and that specific design proposals will be considered later by the City Commission.
Commissioners asked about surrounding zoning and whether the site will have a formal entrance; discussion also confirmed nearby development to the west and county land to the east. Commissioner Danny Chandler abstained from the vote due to having excused himself during the presentation; the motions to recommend both the Future Land Use and Zoning amendments advanced to the City Commission.
