Kent County commissioners have indefinitely delayed a vote on John Ball Zoo’s proposed parking expansion plan, based on ongoing concerns about converting green space to surface parking and an apparent lack of alternative options.
John Ball Zoo hoped to expand their parking lot into a nearby park, upsetting neighbors. A committee voted to table the decision until a public comment can be held.
On Tuesday, the Kent County Finance and Physical Resources Committee was supposed to vote on the revised John Ball Zoo Master Plan. That vote was pushed back to Nov. 21 to allow for more public input.
