Arbor Road Parkland Annexation

At a glance

• What: Rezoning from agriculture to public (Change of Zone 26016) and annexation (Annexation 26008) of about 154.88 acres at the northwest corner of North 27th Street and Arbor Road for a future park.
• Result: Both ordinances passed 7-0 on September 28, 2026 (ordinances 21934 and 21935).

Details

• Yost said the area has three parcels: two city-owned for the park and one owned by the Lower Platte South Natural Resources District for its future offices, planned as a unified community campus.
• The central 58-acre parcel will be the main park, surrounded by protected wetland habitat including critical habitat for the Salt Creek tiger beetle. Full development awaits funding.
• Moved by Carlson, seconded by Washington.
