Article 2 — Disposition of Open Space Property

Except as authorized by Article 3 of this chapter, the Council shall not authorize City open space property to be sold, exchanged, leased, or otherwise disposed of, authorize the construction of improvements which are inconsistent with passive recreational uses on such open space; or authorize the granting of an easement over open space property, until after the City Council has conducted a public hearing on the matter.

(§ 1, Ord. 1194-NS, eff. December 14, 1993)

Notice of the date, time, place, hearing body, and subject matter of any public hearing required by Section 9-13.201 of this article shall be given in the manner required by Chapter 12 of this title.

(§ 1, Ord. 1194-NS, eff. December 14, 1993)

If the proposed use of the open space property requires an entitlement from the City, then the required public hearing on the proposed sale, disposition, transfer, lease, or grant of easement may be consolidated with the public hearing on the entitlement. If an administrative officer or Planning Commission has decision-making authority over the entitlement, any decision on said entitlement shall not be final unless ratified by the City Council following a public hearing as required by this article.
