This planning effort began in early 2020 following the development of the PROS (Parks, Recreation and Open Space) Plan which showed the community’s desire to explore different uses for the golf course property owned by the City. In November 2020, City Council unanimously directed staff to engage the community to explore the feasibility of alternate uses, in addition to continued use for golf. Given the proximity of the Mountain View Commons Campus, it is the City’s interest to explore complementary uses and plan for this site as well.
