In plain language — from agenda source text
This resolution kicks off a rezoning of about a third of an acre of city-owned land at 58 and 64 Rainey Street — the pocket park attached to the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center — so the site can be zoned for parks and recreation use. Rainey Street has been a fast-changing corridor for years, and the change would line up the zoning on the books with how the land is actually used as green space next to the MACC. Because the property already belongs to the City, this step is about the land's zoning designation rather than an acquisition.
Current official agenda wording
Approve a resolution initiating the rezoning of approximately 0.32 acres of City-owned property known as the Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center Pocket Park (MACC Pocket Park) located at 58 Rainey Street and 64 Rainey Street, to allow for parks and recreation services use.
