Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance
establishing the Zoo boundary within Forest Park.
Discussion
One condition of the City Council's approval of the Forest Park Master Plan on
October 6, 1987 (M&C G-7285) was that a detailed study be prepared that defines
the boundaries of the Zoo within the Park.
The boundary survey of the Zoo, prepared by the Transportation/Public Works
Department with assistance from the Park and Recreation Department, reflects the
presently fenced Zoo area (42.7 acres) and its proposed expansion to the west
and north. The proposed Zoo expansion area would encompass a portion of the
University Drive parking lot, the amusement rides area, and a portion of the
athletic fields area off Colonial Parkway. The Zoo Master Plan programs a
maintenance complex, African Rain Forest and African Savannah in the expansion
area.
While one of the two existing athletic fields will beoccupied by future
exhibit space, the remaining field will have to be re-aligned in the remaining
..open space. The remaining open space would facilitate a relocated field with
the existing dimensions of 200' x 360'.
The proposed Zoo boundary reflects the Forest Park Master Plan layout and
comments made at numerous Park and Recreation Advisory Board meetings. The
result of this boundary would es tabl ish a current Zoo boundary of 58.532 acres.
At its meeting on December 20, 1988, the Park and Recreation Advisory Board
voted to recommend approval of the Zoo boundary.
