SUMMARY:
Comprehensive Plan Amendment - Mountain Creek Lake Park (Commissioner Carranza/City Council District 3). To establish a Future Land Use designation of ‘Parks and Recreation’ for Mountain Creek Lake Park, consisting of 86.109 acres out of the Alex Cockrell Survey, Abstract no. 245, City of Grand Prairie, Dallas County, Texas.
PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The purpose of the request is to establish a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) so that the map is consistent with the land use at Mountain Creek Lake Park.
ANALYSIS:
In October 2019, the Grand Prairie City Council approved a boundary adjustment with the City of Dallas in order to annex the park into the City. This action would establish a designation of Parks and Recreation for the 86 acre park. Approval will not change the designation of any private property and will not alter the function or boundaries of the park.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Development Review Committee (DRC) recommends approval.
