Proposed GLUP Amendment

5

• From “Low” Residential (1-

10 units/acre) to “Public”

• Provides for Parks, Schools,

Parkways, major unpaved rights-of-way and libraries and cultural facilities

• Appropriate given adjacency

to areas already designed “Public”, opportunity for consistency with rest of park, and intended use as parkland

• Administrative update to add

public ownership “cross-hatch” to these areas

• Administrative update to

remove paving layer inadvertently applied to park entrance

Proposed Rezoning

• From R-6 to the S-3A zoning

district

• Consistent with S-3A zoning for

rest of the park

• Consistent with “Public” GLUP

designation

• Allows for the park as a by-

right use (no use permit needed as is the case in R-6)

• Typically found adjacent

to/surrounded by areas designated “Low” Residential
