Hanson <br />During the summer of 1999, the City Council held a workshop to discuss zoning compliance <br />issues regarding private properties (specifically the Ryan Industrial Park area). During this <br />discussion, City Council members suggested that all City properties should be reviewed and <br />held to the same zoning code standards as required of other properties located in Little Canada. <br />Upon the Pioneer Park site review, it was noted that the parking space requirement does not <br />comply with the requirements of the City zoning ordinance and as such this issue has been <br />brought before you for your recommendation in this matter. <br />Pioneer Park is located between Centerville Road and Desoto Street north of LaBore Road. <br />This thirty-four (34) acre site is zoned "P:' The purpose of the "P", (Public/Semi Public) District <br />is to ensure City control over those lands now used publicly orsemi-publicly, by establishing <br />City review procedures in the event of change in land use or activity. <br />Required Parking Spaces per City of Little Canada Ordinance; <br />Public Parks, Playgrounds and Playfield.
