Planning Commission — April 14, 2026
A vacant HOA lot that's been an unmowed eyesore for 25 years could soon belong to the neighbor next door. The HOA has been paying over $4,000 a year to mow it, and the city says a park there is unnecessary since Cottonwood Park is 300 feet away and getting $600,000 in upgrades. City Council makes the final call.
