greenhouse to be operated and managed by the city, and a 68 SF remodel of the atrium.
The atrium remodel included ADA accessibility and restroom upgrades.
The purpose of this project is to allow for improved growing of plants to be used for
landscaping purposes all around the city. There is also the potential for the northern
greenhouse to be used for public gardening classes, or growing vegetables and fruit for
parks educational programs. There is also a proposal for a new parking lot on the
northern side of the site to support the expected increase in activity.
The purpose of amendment 1 is to add decorative fencing and gates around the
