MAP - PRELIMINARY - 25 ZONES - PAPa SYSTEM THROUGH A MASTER
PLAN
Councilman Lee addressed the Planning and Zoning Commission saying
the City has what is called pocket park_- (small 1/2 acre and 1
acre parks),What we lack according to the Texas Outdoor Recreation
Plan prepared by Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife is large
tracts .for ball fields, swimming pools and jogging trails.
Councilman Lee told the Commission Mr. Green of Marman, Mok and
Green, has prepared a preliminary zone and facility map using
our major throughfare plan in determining zones. Along with the
map the Commission received a copy of the ordinance and zone map
used by College Station as a sample of the type of ordinance used
for control on obtaining park land or contribution. Councilman
Lee told the Commission she has already made some recommended
changes, and that is why the map is marked preliminary. She
has brought this item to the Commission for approval of the
concept along with their input.
The following items are some of the suggestions and concerns
brought out by the Planning and Zoning Commission,

1.
To have 5 zones instead
of the 25 suggested by
Marman,
Mok and Green.
2.
To have large ball parks
with good accommodation
to service
more area.
3.
A strong defined process
for the extracting of
land or
contribution.
4.
A legend defining each zone
as to the amount of
park that
exists and how much is needed
based on density
or population.
5. The information pertaining to the amount of land or
contribution given to the developer prior to the pre-app
conference and not allowing the developer to get to the
platting process without fully understanding the City's
requirements.
6. Establish who is to mediate the process as well as keeping
the plan up to date. If these items are not established
it would become an adimistrative burden.
7. The process has the potential to slow down development.
It needs to be determined that below a certain amount of
land for development a contribution would be made to the
City and above a certain amount.of land for development,
land would be donated for a City Park.
