From the transcript
First, with camper parks, the Parks and Recreation Department operates a camper park at Centennial Park with 84 sites. So adding this as a conditional use will allow Centennial Park to be rezoned to PR without creating any new nonconformity. And additionally, if hypothetically in the future there were a future camper park that Parks and Rec wanted to start up, they would have to go through the conditional use process and with the public hearing and everything that goes with that. So moving on to some of the accessory uses that we're looking at of greenhouses and sale of goods grown on site. This clarifies greenhouses as an accessory use in parks, and additionally, the Parks and Recreation Department sells tree plugs at a loss from the greenhouse at Manley's Memorial Greenhouse in Russian Jack Park.
