To improve skateboarding safety, a growing number of communities provide supervised skateboard parks. These may have professionally designed “bowls” and “ramps” or other designated skateboarding areas that are located away from motor vehicle and pedestrian traffic… In addition to choosing locations away from traffic, follow the recommendations below to ensure a safe environment for skateboarding. Avoid skateboarding on irregular surfaces. • • Do not use homemade skateboard ramps. • Never use your skateboard in wet weather • • Never hold onto the side or rear of a moving vehicle while riding a skateboard (“skitching”.) Avoid skateboarding in crowded walkways or in darkness. Neighborhood Park Use by Children American Journal of Prevention Medicine Choose a Safe Environment “Physical inactivity has been declared a global public health problem by the WHO. Estimates suggest that 65% of U.S. children aged 9-11 years do not get at least 20 minutes of daily vigorous physical activity, and this rate may be considerably lower when measured by accelerometer. The public health significance of the problem is underscored by evidence showing that physical inactivity increases risk of many serious health conditions. A growing body of research has linked children’s physical activity levels to neighborhood built environmental characteristics.” T h e r e a r e n o t e n o u g h p a r k s a n d p a r k a c t i v i t i e s f o r c h i l d r e n .

For a summary of the basis of staff’s recommendation, see case manager comments on page 2. ZONING AND PLATTING COMMISSION ACTION/ RECOMMENDATION: September 1, 2020: July 7, 2020: To grant LR-MU-CO with the condition that service station is a prohibited use. (6- 4) [Denkler- 1st, King- 2nd, Bray, Smith, Evans, Duncan- Nay.] CITY COUNCIL ACTION: To be determined. ORDINANCE NUMBER: 1 of 9B-01 2 ISSUES: The Applicant originally filed this request from GR-CO to LR-MU. At that time, the Applicant didn’t realize this would reduce the permitted building height from 60 feet to 40 feet/3 stories. Consequently, the Applicant is now recommending GR-MU. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The proposed rezoning is for 4.679 acre property located at the southwest corner of FM 969 and Nixon Lane. The property is currently zoned GR-CO and is developed with a single family dwelling facing Nixon Lane; the rest of the property is undeveloped. The existing conditional overlay limits the property to 2,000 vehicular trips per day (v.p.d.). Across FM 969 to the north is a mix of local commercial and residential land uses.
