City Council Meeting Minutes October 16, 2018 Page 9 of 14 Councilmember Loo asked how Council's previous adoption of the open space map affects this discussion If it was identified as open space on the map do we have to zone it now? City Attorney Kelly stated the Open Space Master Plan inventories and classified certain properties as Open Space and was adopted by the City Council before the Charter was approved The charter defines open space as land that is included within the open space zone district and it required the City create that zone district and the City Council designate the lands as open space and zone them as such Once zoned open space, certain restrictions then attach to the land The Master Plan inventoried and classified property but now this would zone land and classify it according to management policies (Open Space - Protected, Open Space — Visitor, and Open Space — Other). Councilmember Keany asked how zoning this parcel would impact future expansion of the golf maintenance facility He doesn't want to end up preventing expansion of the facility in the future or restricting access to the facility Members agreed to continue this property in the zoning process. Brignull stated staff will refine the specific parcel to not affect the golf shop and work with the various boards before bringing this back for final zoning consideration by Council Dutch Creek Open Space - Brignull noted this encompasses a section of the Coal Creek Trail and was designated in the master plan as Open Space. Staff recommends working with Parks to delineate the park area to the northwest, continuing the current maintenance practices, and zoning it Open Space -Visitor Councilmember Stolzmann noted she lives adjoining this parcel but does not think she needs to recuse herself as this designation affects many people She would like to delineate the boundary between the open space and golf course parcels. She does not think any of the areas along the street should be included Members agreed to continue this property in the zoning process. Olson Property — Brignull states this property is already designated open space on the north and staff is looking for direction on the southern section This parcel is already managed consistent with open space practices. This would not zone the railroad right- of-way in the area. Councilmember Stolzmann supports zoning the entire area This area is identified for a possible future trail Councilmember Keany stated perhaps the southern area here could be used for a dog off -leash area or sports field so maybe the south section shouldn't be included
