PARK POINT SMALL AREA PLAN PURPOSE OF THE PLAN:

1. The Comprehensive Plan,adopted in June of 2006, recognized that there were areas of the City where uncertainty about market conditions, ownership patterns or infrastructural capacity was particularly high, and that those areas would require additional study to guide possible modifications to the future land use map. Although Park Point was not included in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan as a future study area, there has been strong interest by residents and City Officials to complete a Small Area Plan.

2. Recent planning and development activity on Park Point, including the Cities implementation of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, commercial development including two hotel approvals, public access issues and infrastructure (water and sewer) capacity concerns, has raised a number of questions regarding changes to existing land use patterns and the character of the Park Point neighborhood. Therefore, it is necessary for the City to study the area in greater detail to develop and implement a long term plan that will maintain but also enhance the neighborhood character for residents and visitors of Park Point.
