IQff/ORDINANCE -AMEND 17.27 -OPEN SPACE AND PARKS -1st READING

development.
The ordinance amending Chapter 17.27 of the Moses Lake MunicipalCode entitled "Open Space and Parks"
was read by title only.
Joseph K.Gavinski,CityManager,explainedthatthe existinglanguage states thatthe funds from the fee-in-
lieu of dedication of open space parks is to be used within the Comprehensive Plan sub-area where the
development is located. This language is misleading since no sub-areas were established when the
Comprehensive Plan was reviewed and updated bythe Planning Commission.
Mr.Voth feltthatthe PlanningCommission should consider the idea of sub areas inthe Comprehensive Plan
before this language is deleted.
Gilbert Alvarado,Community Development Director,stated that the Planning Commission did not address
sub-areas during the discussions on the Comprehensive Plan because sub-areas include more than just
parks.He explained thata sub-area plan identifies major planning issues and provides recommendations,
goals,and policies specific tothe neighborhood.A sub-areawould be an area with unique conditions that
would need to be addressed.
There was some discussion by the Council.
