In the <br />absence of a Parks Master Plan or park planning expertise it is difficult for staff to determine <br />whether locating a park on this property' makes sense from both a park planning and land use <br />planning perspective. It is staff’s recommendation that the City obtain advice from a park/land <br />use planner regarding how a park use would fit into this area of the City and the types of park <br />uses that could be developed on this property. It may cost several hundred dollars to obtain this <br />information. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to authorize staff to obtain advice from a park/land use planning consultant regarding <br />the use of the property for park land with the cost not to exceed $500.00,
