Farmington Comprehensive Plan


The Comprehensive Plan 's 2020 Future Land Use Map recommends the subject area as "Commercial". The current zoning, LNC, supports neighborhood-oriented, lowintensity retail sales and services.

REGULATIONS FOR RV PARKS UDC Section 2.4.41 Recreational vehicle (RV) parks and campgrounds. (Retail, service and commercial use categories; sales and service, entertainment-oriented). Recreational vehicle (RV) parks, campgrounds, and related accessory facilities shall comply with the standards of this section. A. Minimum space area: (1) Recreational vehicle, motor home, camp trailer and similar uses: 1,200 square feet. (2) Cabin or tent: 800 square feet.

8 . Minimum space width: 30 feet.

C. Recreational vehicle park shall be occupied only by persons using recreational vehicles as defined in section 11 .1, and small cabins without plumbing (traditional KOAstyle) , and tents for overnight, short duration, or seasonal camping.

D. Each park shall be served by central water and sewer facilities.

E. Each park shall provide common restroom and shower facilities in accordance with the requirements of the San Juan County Health Department.

F. No space shall be located more than 300 feet from common restroom and shower facilities .

G. Landscaping and screening shall be provided in accordance with the provisions of section 5.5, landscaping and screening; and

H. One tree of a species suitable for the area shall be provided for each two spaces, and shall be located in close proximity to those spaces. (Existing trees on the site may be used to satisfy this requirement.)

PUBLIC INPUT Notices were sent out to property owners within 100 feet. One letter was submitted to the Planning & Zoning Commission from Philip Rosenberger, property owner at 5232 W Comanche St. He is concerned about how the rezone would impact the southern portion of the subject parcel that is across Old Kirtland Hwy.

STAFF ANALYSIS The Unified Development Code states that the City shall consider whether the proposed zoning and land use are compatible with the conforming zoning and land use of nearby

- 3.4 -


properties and with the character of the neighborhood. Section 8.7.4 of the UDC outlines issues for consideration in determining a proposed zone change as follows:

A. ls the proposed zoning consistent with the Farmington Comprehensive Plan?

The proposed zone change for the subject property is consistent with the 2020 Future Land Use Map which designated this area as Commercial. RV Parks and Campgrounds are a permitted use in the General Commercial Zoning District.

The proposal also supports elements of the current Comprehensive Plan and draft 2040 Comprehensive Plan to build tourist amenities within the City.

8. ls the proposed zoning and land use(s) compatible with the present zoning and conforming uses of nearby property and the character of the neighborhood?

The subject property is bordered on the east and west by vacant federal land.

C. Will there be adverse impacts; and/or can any adverse impacts be adequately mitigated?

The proposed zone change should not have an adverse impact on the surrounding area. UDC regulations require the installation of central water and sewer facilities as well as a common restroom and shower facilities. Construction of the required facilities will prevent adverse impacts to the surrounding properties.

Impact on traffic along Old Kirtland Highway cannot be determined at this time. Staff is recommending a condition of approval requesting a traffic narrative.

D. ls the proposed density and intensity of use permitted in the proposed zoning district?

The petitioner is requesting a zone change to General Commercial. This is the only zoning district that allows RV Parks and Campgrounds.

E. Is the site physically suitable for development of uses and density permitted by the proposed zoning district?

Per Section 2.4.41 of the UDC, 1,200 square feet is required for each RV unit. The portion of the subject property being proposed for development is approximately 3.00 acres and should be able to support a 30-spot RV Park.

F. Are adequate public facilities and services available to serve development for the type and scope suggested by the proposed zone? If utilities are not available, could they be reasonably extended by the applicant? Is the applicant willing to pay for the extension of public facilities and services necessary to service the proposed development?

The subject property does not have direct access to any utilities. The applicant has not indicated he is willing to extend any utilities.

- 3.5 -

Action Summary ZC 21-36

Hector Rangel - 5300 Old Kirtland Hwy

Connection to an overhead line is approximately 500-1 ,000 feet away. Connection to water is approximately 1,000 feet away.

G. Does the proposed change constitute "spot zoning" as defined in Article 11, definitions?

Article 11 defines "spot zoning" as "Where a particular tract within a larger area is specifically zoned so as to impose upon it restrictions not imposed upon the surrounding lands, or grant to it special privileges not granted generally, not done in pursuance of the Comprehensive Plan ."

With the Future Land Use Plan designation of Commercial , and the surrounding vacant federally owned property, this request does not constitute spot zoning.

- 3.6 -

STAFF CONCLUSION


Staff concludes the zone change to Commercial is supported by the 2020 Comprehensive Plan. Development of a tourist facility supports the current economic plan for the City of Farmington.

The project faces challenges due to the lack of water and electrical services close to the property. Staff will work with the applicant to find the best solutions for this challenge.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION

The Community Development Department recommends approval of Petition ZC 21-36, a request from Hector Rangel , property owner, for a zone change from LNC: Local Neighborhood Commercial to GC: General Commercial to allow for a 30-unit RV Park on a 3.4-acre parcel at 5300 Old Kirtland Highway, R0031341, subject to the following conditions/UDC requirements:

1. A detailed site plan showing a minimum 20-foot wide access aisle width and driveway width access from Old Kirtland Highway, and location of electric meters shall be required .

2. Site plan shall include details for extending the water and electric lines.

3. Approval of a septic system shall be obtained from NMED.

4. A petitioner shall produce a traffic narrative showing impact to 5300 Old Kirtland Hwy of the proposed development.

5. As-built drawings for the wash crossing on the northern portion of the property shall be submitted to the City Engineer.

- 5.1 -

Site Plan

Unified Development Code (UDC)

Action Summary SUP 21-40

Bailey - 5402 Cleone Pl

The purpose of a Special Use Permit is to allow for discretionary approval of uses with unique operating characteristics.

Per Section 2.4 .7.1 a special use permit is required for keeping of horse in the SF-10 zoning district.

Section 2.4 .7.K requires adequate site improvements to mitigate the impact on drainage and floodways .

UDC 8.9. A. Special Use Permits:

A. Special use permit approvals attach to the property and are transferable to subsequent owners.

- 5.2 -

Action Summary SUP 21-40 Bailey- 5402 Cleone Pl

If this SUP was approved, it could transfer to another owner, carrier or tenant.

Special Use Permit Criteria - Section 8.9.4 of the UDC Section 8.9.4 of the UDC sets forth the criteria for review of a special use permit. The section states that a SUP may be approved where it is reasonably determined that there will be no significant negative impact upon residents of surrounding property or upon the public. The criteria for approval is listed as follows:

A. Effect on environment: The location, size, design, and operation characteristics of the proposed use shall not be detrimental to the health, welfare, and safety of the surrounding neighborhood or its occupants and shall not be substantially or permanently injurious to the neighboring property.

The petitioners have submitted a plan to dispose of manure off site as necessary. The proposed fence will keep the horses out of the waterway to the east.

B. Compatible with surrounding area: The proposed site plan, circulation plan, and schematic architectural designs shall be harmonious with the character of the surrounding area with relationship to scale, height, landscaping and screening and density.

There is large lot development to the north, south and west of the subject property. It is approximately 150 feet from the fenced area to the nearest neighbor to the east.

C. External impacts minimized: The proposed use shall not have negative impacts on existing uses in the area and in the city through the creation of noise, glare, fumes, dust, smoke, vibration, fire hazard, or other injurious or noxious impact. The applicant shall provide adequate mitigation responses to the impacts.

Sec. 6-4-2 of the City of Farmington Municipal Code states:

General cleanliness of premises where animals are kept; spraying of enclosures.

(a) No person who is the owner, tenant or person in possession and control of any stable, corral, lot, pasture, stall, shed , apartment, yard or premises in the city in which any animal , including but not limited to horses, cows, livestock, domestic fowl, dogs, cats and all other animals , is kept or maintained shall allow the accumulation of manure, water, moisture, animal droppings or liquid discharges of such animal which create a stench or emit offensive odors or which are otherwise injurious to the public health and safety. However, nothing in this section shall be construed to include temporary manure deposits upon any private property for the purpose of fertilizing or composting.

- 5.3 -


(b) Stalls or stables, corrals, lots or pastures shall be kept sprayed with disinfectant to kill germs and to prevent the premises from becoming a breeding place for flies, mosquitoes or other insects.

As long as the petitioners adhere to these regulations there should be no issues.

Mark Romero with the Code Enforcement Divisions provided comments that manure should be removed daily.

D. Infrastructure impacts minimized: The proposed use shall not have negative impacts on existing uses in the area and in the city through impacts on public infrastructure such as roads, parking facilities and water and sewer systems, and on public services such as police and fire protection and solid waste collection, and the ability of existing infrastructure and services to provide services adequately.

If approved, this Special Use Permit should not impact any infrastructure.

E. Consistent with the UDC and Comprehensive Plan: The proposed use will be consistent with purposes of this UDC, the Comprehensive Plan, and any other statutes, ordinances or policies that may be applicable, and will support rather than interfere with the uses otherwise permitted in the zone in which it is located.

The 2002 Comprehensive Plan does not address the keeping of horses.

F. Parcel size: The proposed use may be required to have additional land area, in excess of the minimum lot area otherwise required by the underlying zoning district, as necessary to ensure adequate mitigation of impacts on surrounding land uses and the zoning district.

The subject property is 2. 76 acres. Per Article 11 , one horse is allowed per acre.

G. Site Plan: The proposed use shall be required to comply with the site plan review procedures and standards of Section 8.5, site plan review, as specified.

A site plan has been submitted with the proposal that complies with the standards of Section 8.5.

PUBLIC INPUT Letters were sent to eleven surrounding neighbors. At the time of this report no public input has been received.

A letter in support from the neighbors directly to the west of the subject property was presented to the Planning & Zoning Commission.

the SUP and the keeping of horses, except that we do request a copy of the drainage and property maintenance plan. Debris/waste shall not be allowed to be deposited or in contact with stormwater that may flush contaminated water into a surface water body, including dry arroyos/washes. Please include in the drainage and property maintenance plan, protective measures to keep horse manure from being in contact with precipitation/runoff when being stored prior to removal from the property.

Our concerns are that this property is located within the Zone AE - Floodplain. According to the SJ County Assessor's Office, the property was developed in 1978 and it is my understanding that any structures and fencing are existing . Due to the property being located in a floodplain , any proposed changes in development will require a review from the City's Floodplain Manager for approval. FEMA may require additional studies or certificates prior to any further development or redevelopment of the property.

I will not be available next week to discuss at the DRC meeting. If you have any questions regarding the floodplain please contact Lisa Hale Blue Eves at 505-599-1312.

CITY OF FARMINGTON MEMORANDUM

TO: Mayor Duckett and City Council

FROM: Michael Safrany Associate Planner Community Works Department

DATE: July 13, 2021

SUBJECT: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2021 Annual Action Plan Capital Project Presentations

On May 19, 2021, staff made a call to Department Heads for capital project suggestions for the CBDG 2021 Annual Action Plan. This year, a total of $261,530.10 has been allocated for capital improvements. An additional $49,636.74 will be reallocated from the 2018 Bonnie Dallas Senior Center ADA Improvements project for a total of $311, 166.84.

The CDBG Division received two (2) proposals from two (2) departments. Departments plan to present their proposals at the City Council Meeting:

1. Farmington Avenue ADA and Accessibility Improvements (Community Works - Engineering):

The purpose of the project is to improve pedestrian accessibility along Farmington Avenue between Main Street and 20th Street. The west side of Farmington Avenue is a mixture of residential multi-family housing , commercial development, and the Fairview City Park. The east side of Farmington Avenue is mostly single family residential. There is currently one (1) midblock crossing at the northeast corner of the park, and the east side of Farmington Avenue is missing approximately 1,000 linear feet of sidewalk.

The proposed project area is located entirely within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Census Block Group 4, Tract 2.05 which has approximately 65.43% of Low to Moderate Income residents and thereby falls under the HUD national objective for activities that benefit a primarily residential neighborhood.

Staff has verified that there are no right-of-way or easement conflicts with the areas targeted for improvement.

The total cost of the project is estimated to be $275,000. Below is a breakdown of the project costs :

1. 18 ADA ramp removal and replacement: $135,000 2. 720 feet of sidewalk installation: $108,000 3. Relocation of 2 fire hydrants (obstacles to accessibility): $7 ,000 4. Relocation of 2 small power poles and 3 street lights (obstacles to accessibility):

$25,000

- 7.0 -

2. Brook Haven Park ADA and Play Area Improvements (Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs)

The purpose of this project is to provide designated ADA parking stalls and accessible ramps at the park entrance and to remediate areas of the park where concrete slabs and sidewalks are damaged by weather and tree roots creating accessibility barriers. The current play structure is dated and does not contain appropriate adaptable or accessible features, and does not have shade coverage . Staff recommends replacing both play structures and swing sets.

The proposed project area is located within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Census Block Group 3, Tract 4.02 which has approximately 47.04% of Low to Moderate Income residents. This falls short of the required 51 % LMI required by HUD, however this project will benefit neighboring tracts to the north (Block Group 3, Tract 4.01 has a 71 .59% LMI) , and to the east (Block Group 2, Tract 4.02 has a 66.49% LMI) and will therefore meet the HUD national objective. All ADA work at the park benefits senior residents and therefore meets the HUD national objective. This project falls under the HUD national objective for activities that benefit a primarily residential neighborhood.

Direction to staff regarding project selection and allocation will be scheduled for the July 27, 2021 Council meeting. Once selected, the projects will be included in the Third Year Annual Action Plan of the 2019-2023 Consolidated Plan.

The PRCA Department is requesting $289,006.80 for the upgrades. Below is a breakdown of the project costs:

Replace 2-5 play structure: $37,000 Replace 5-12 play structure: $100,625 Replace both swing sets: $15,025 Add shade above large exposed play structure: $18,912 Add accessible surfacing within play area: $10,000 Remediate raised concrete sidewalks and add accessible ramps: $56, 777 ADA parking stalls. Remove 6, replace 4, restripe, and add signage: $2000

Total: $240,839. Add 20% Contingency: $48, 167.80 Grand Total: $289,006.80

Council Action After the presentations, Council may choose to award the CDBG Capital Improvement Funds to one or both of these projects in appropriate proportions or request additional information or time to consider options.

PRESENTATION/COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPATE

Planning Manager Beth Escobar announced that the purpose for today ' s presentation is to reorient the Council on the overall approach of the Comprehensive Plan ("Comp Plan" ) and she introduced Project Manager Kristina Kachur of Logan Simpson .

Ms . Kachur explained that the Comp Plan is a 20-year tool that looks at broad land uses , community vision , desired conditions and provision and extension of services going forward . She reported the current plan was adopted in 2002 and that the process to update the Comp Plan began two years ago but pointed out that the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted the necessary public participation component and the process was paused . Utilizing a PowerPoint presentation , Ms . Kachur briefly reviewed the draft Comp Plan ' s goals and objectives ; provided a proposed future land use interactive map that will be made available to the public ; and briefly reviewed the 10 use categories with key desired features , conditions and sample illustrations for each use . Ms . Kachur advised that based on these visions and targeted uses , they have identified 130 specific action items for inclusion in the Comp Plan categorized by type and with individual timelines , costs and effectiveness ratings . Additionally , she pointed out a five-year work plan appendix tool provides 30 to 40 action items classified as shortterm and highly effective and she advised that this appendix tool is editable yearly to aid in identifying priorities . Concluding the presentation , Ms . Kachur outlined the remaining steps in completing the Comp Plan and she stated that they anticipate presenting the final draft to the City Council for adoption in September 2021 .

Responding to questions from Councilor Rodgers , Ms . Kachur explained that the uses identified in the Comp Plan would guide future zoning areas and that consideration was given to current uses within the city limits as well as surrounding public lands . Additionally , Ms . Escobar explained that the Comp Plan is centered on land use but is heavily influenced by many sources including land use targeted by our Economic Development Director for growth in specific sectors such as outdoor recreation initiatives .

In response to concerns about the effectiveness of public outreach measures from Councilor Sharer , Ms . Kachur advised that small events where people were already congregating such as the Growers ' Market or through public partners such as the Chamber of Commerce were identified as the most successful options. She reported that a summary video will be released for media outlets and featured on an upcoming Mayor ' s Table and she announced that large-scale outreach events are not being considered at this time . In addition , City Manager Rob Mayes advised

that staff will contact the Council for preferred outreach options and venues within their respective districts .

Responding to Councilor Jakino ' s inquiry , Ms . Kachur clarified that the public outreach component is specifically looking for citi zens ' priorities to help guide the action plan ' s key initiatives and to identify any use categories on the interactive map that may require reevaluation . She also confirmed tha·t the timeline to complete the Comp Plan still allows for any critical changes the public may identify prior to adoption .

Mr . Mayes emphasized that the City does not directly build houses or create jobs but rather takes direction from its citizens in creating the vision and necessary infrastructure and he cited the Downtown renovations as the most recent example of creating desirable space for specific use , noting that the project stemmed from the 200 2 Comp Plan .

Mayor Duckett thanked Ms . Kachur and staff for the presentation and encouraged all citizens to advocate and contribute to the public outreach component of the 20 - year Comp Plan in the upcoming mon ths .

REMOVAL OF TRAFFIC SIGNALS/INTERSECTIONS OF BROADWAY AND SCHWARTZ AVENUE , MAIN STREET AND SCHWARTZ AVENUE , APACHE STREET AND ORCHARD AVENUE , APACHE STREET AND DUSTIN AVENUE , BUTLER AVENUE AND UTE STREET , AND SULLIVAN AVENUE AND 15Ttt STREET

Utilizing a PowerPoint presentation , Traffic Engineer Mark Hathcock briefly reviewed the Traffic Control Signal Policy adopted by the City Counci l on October 22 , 2013 and the negative effects of retaining unjustified traffic signals , noting that removing one traffic signal saves up to $11 , 376 in operation and maintenance costs annually . He pointed out that the six intersections being considered for signal removal are located at Broadway and Schwart z Avenue , Main Street and Schwartz Avenue , Apache Street and Orchard Avenue , Apache Street and Dustin Avenue , Butler Avenue and Ute Street and Sullivan Avenue and 15 th Street and he emphasized that these signals did not meet any of the warrant requirements specified in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) as directed by the U. S . Secretary of Transportation and as adopted by the City . Mr . Hathcock discussed the citizens ' complaints received by staff during the transitional period which was initiated following Council ' s approval on April 27 , 2 0 2 1 and he noted that most complaints involved sight obstructions that have since been remediated . He reported that the New Mexico Driving Manual ' s method for proceeding at intersections where a cross street is obstructed is to "edge forward slowly until you can see crossing traffic" and make sure the path is clear before entering the intersection and he explained that an evaluation using this driving method was performed at all six of the intersections in question and was deemed acceptable . Additionally , Mr . Hathcock provided aerial views with "sight triangle" sizing and placement utilizing the principals set forth by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials ' (AASHTO ) at the intersections with sight obstruction complaints (Main Street and Schwartz Avenue , Apache Street and Orchard Avenue , Butler Avenue and Ute Street) . In conclusion , he advised that the Traffic Division is requesting Council approve removal of traffic signals at the subject intersections .

Mayor Duckett thanked the Traffic Division for researching citizen concerns during this process ; acknowledged that changes in traffic , neighborhoods and safety standards dictate the need for the City to address changes such as those being proposed ; and expressed his support to proceed with removal of signals as recommended .

Addressing Councilor Sharer ' s lingering concerns regarding the intersection of Apache Street and Orchard Avenue , Community Works Director David Sypher confirmed that the "sight triangle " principals used in the study at this intersection provide for the required 330 feet of sight distance and he pointed out that the signal removal will reduce intersection wait time from 65 seconds to 15 seconds .

Thereupon , a motion was made by Councilor Rodgers , seconded by Councilor Jakino to direct staff to proceed with the removal of traffic sign a l s at the intersections of Broadway and Schwartz Avenue , Main Street and Schwart z Avenue , Apache Street and Orchard Avenue , Apache Street a nd Dustin Avenue , Butler Avenue and Ute Street and Sullivan Avenue and 15 h Street , and upon voice vote the motion carried unanimously .

PRESENTATION/DROUGHT CONDITIONS UPDATE

Utilizing a PowerPoint presentation , Community Works Director David Sypher reviewed the indicators used in determining the water shortage stages by reporting that although Farmington Lake is still at 100 percent capacity the other indicators have eroded : snow pack for the Animas River Basin is at 0 percent of normal ; the Palmer Drought Index has moved from moderate to severe drought conditions ; stream flows are half of what they would be at the normal snow melt season ; and rainfall is approximately 40 percent probability of normal . Mr . Sypher briefly reviewed recent measures taken on the raw waterline rehabilitation on the San Juan River to ensure the project is to be completed on schedule and he emphasized that there are no key system component failures at this time . He announced that the public has been given notice of the impending drought season by the enactment of the Stage 1 Water Shortage Advisory by the Council on May 2 5 , 2021 which urges citi z ens to voluntarily reduce their water consumption by 10 percent . Mr . Sypher pointed out that his office will be compiling statistical data comparing 202 0 and 2 021 water usage and he advised that the first two weeks of June 2021 show an increase of approximately 5 million gallons . Concluding the presentation , he reported that his office will have updated drought indicator information available for all upcoming Council meetings for the duration of the drought season .

Mayor Duckett thanked Mr . Sypher for the presentation and the proactive reporting efforts and he expressed his appreciation to the members of the audience and requested their assistance to urge all citi zens to voluntarily reduce water usage by 10 percent .

PRESENTATION/PICKLEBALL COURTS

Parks , Recreation and Cultural Affairs Director Shana Reeves reported that a community survey was conducted in December 2 020 regarding tennis and pickleball court use , options and needs and she announced that 84 participants from user stakeholder groups provided substantial insight on current and proposed facilities as well as requirements for tournament planning . Utili z ing a PowerPoint presentation , Ms . Reeves explained that the tennis courts at Brookside Park are currently in a demol i tion/rebuild state and are unable to be resurfaced and she reported that the two available replacement options are the installation of an asphalt surface (approximately $390 , 566 ) or a post-tension concrete surface (approximately $539 , 84 2 ). She emphasized that both cost estimates include the demolition and disposal of old courts and materials, base and overlay of the option selected , six dedicated pickleball courts with posts and nets , two 14 ' x30 ' xl0 ' two-column canvas shade structures , four three-row bleachers (21 ' long ) , concrete curb and sidewalks , chain link fencing and gates and windscreens . Ms . Reeves pointed out that these cost estimates were obtained in February 2 020 and she stated that staff is attempting to obtain updated estimates which will most likely reflect the current nation-wide i ncrease in construction costs . She provided pictures and reviewed the current conditions of the asphalt courts located at Brookside , Lions, Cooper and Mossman Gladden parks and the post-tens i on courts located at the Sports Complex . Concluding her presentat i on , Ms . Reeves announced that it is staff ' s recommendation to reconstruct courts at Brookside Park as pickleball only courts , permanently double-stripe four of the lesser-used tennis courts at the Sports Complex , permanently double-stripe the tennis courts at Mossman Gladden Park and replace the liner and resurface the courts at Cooper Park for tennis only . Ms . Reeves advised that staff ' s recommendation would provide picklebal l players six pickleball-only courts and six double-striped courts and would provide tennis players 12 tennis-only courts and six double-striped courts .

In response to Mayor Duckett ' s inquiry , Ms . Reeves acknowledged that her conversations with high school tennis coaches indicate that they are "open" to double-striping some of the tennis courts but that dual use it is not ideal for either tennis or pickleball play .

Mayor Duckett requested consideration for ample shade , lighting and parking accommodations during this process and that the conditions of the shared parking area below Bisti Bay at Brookside Park be assessed .

Providing clarifying remarks , Assistant City Manager Julie Baird advised that staff ' s preference would be to have this project completed by the end of this season but that the national labor shortage may affect the timeline . In addition , City Manager Rob Mayes explained that the

- 12.2 -

next step in this process would be to direct staff to update the cost estimates to be considered at a future meeting .

In response to Councilor Sharer ' s concern , Ms . Reeves confirmed that instructional signage would be installed at double-striped courts and that classes would be made available through PRCA to help introduce the community to pickleball .

Mayor Duckett briefly left the meeting .

Mayor Pro Tern Sharer asked for comments from the audience .

Jim Luther , 21 Road 3628 , reported that interest in this emerging sport has more than doubled in the community since he first began discussions with Ms . Reeves about the need for pickleball courts last fall . He indicated that 12 courts would be the minimum required to host tournaments and pointed out that 16 courts could rival the larger tournaments in destination cities such as in Phoenix or Tucson , Arizona . He contended that double-striping courts for dual use only causes confusion for players of either sport temporarily , is easily overcome and "gets us out there . " Mr . Luther concluded his comments by heartily advocating for adequate restroom facilities at all designated pickleball courts .

Mayor Duckett returned to the meeting .

Lona Warne , 5100 Colibri Place , announced that pickleball is a revenue-generating sport and she pointed out that camps and tournaments attract players nationwide and in some cases , internationally . She reported that the 2 02 1 US Open Pickleball Championship has players registered from 48 states and 12 countries with ages ranging from nine to 91 and she stressed that this is a family sport . As an ambassador of the sport , she invited the Council and any interested civic groups to contact her for a free lesson .

Ron Allen , 112 0 Ch aco Avenue , contended that double-striping the tennis courts at the Sports Complex is detrimental to the high school tennis teams who are not represented today . He strongly advocated for pickleball-only courts to be located at Brookside Park , pointing out that the park "sits in a bowl " and is therefore not susceptible to strong winds and that it has adequate shading and facilities .

Mayor Duckett thanked the audience for their engagement on this matter .

Following lively consideration , a motion was made by Councilor Rodgers , seconded by Councilor Sharer , to direct staff to bring an updated bid back to the Council for the reconstruction cost estimates of the six dedicated pickleball courts at Brookside Park , to authorize dual court utilization by double - striping four of the courts at the Sports Complex and both courts at Mossman Gladden Park , as presented . At Mayor Duckett ' s suggestion , Councilor Sharer requested a friendly amendment to direct staff to update the bid to replace the liner and resurface the tennis courts at Cooper Park . Councilors Rodgers was amenable to the friendly amendment , and upon voice vote the amended motion carried unanimously .
