At this time, PRCSA has not yet conducted any technical studies and park designs have not been drafted. This action is solely a land use action required in order to facilitate the future construction of such park and to assure the park will be in conformance with the City's General Plan and Zoning designations. As part of this application, staff will amend the General Plan Land Use Element text and map as shown on Exhibits 4 and 5 and zoning map as shown on Exhibit 6. Project Background and Chronology Subject Property Background The subject site was previously developed with single-family residences on both lots that were constructed in the 1920s. The sites were cleared in 2006; none of the structures were listed on the City's Register of Historical Properties. The subject properties were cleared and fenced -off at the direction of the City Manager and PRCSA to prevent vandalism, squatters, trespassing and avoid injuries.
