Park Land Zoning
Friends,
You may have read recent news articles about park land zoning and a list of 43 parks that are not currently zoned as such. What isn’t being reported is that the County Executive had already initiated requests to local municipalities, prior to the County Board’s action, to change the zoning on those parcels from their current zoning designation to Parks District as soon as practicable.
