Proposed GLUP Amendment • 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 5

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 6
