Parks and Community Services Commission
At the March 18, 2013 meeting, the Parks and Community Services Commission received a
report on the proposed conceptual site plan. The Commissioners expressed a preference for
maximizing pedestrian walkability within the park and the quantity of green open space where
possible. Although the Commissioners understood the need for vehicle access roads and
parking areas in the park, the Commission emphasized a desire for as few parking spaces
within the park as possible, in order to maintain a park -like ambience within the park. After
receiving public comment, the Parks and Community Services Commission unanimously
recommended approval to the City Council of the proposed conceptual site plan as
recommended by Staff.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS /PUBLIC OUTREACH:
A public meeting notice was mailed to the residents near Emerald Glen Park. A copy of the
Staff Report was sent to the Parks and Community Services Commission.
