At its meeting on Thursday, Dec. 12, the Sierra Vista City Council moved forward code of ordinance amendments for public comment that would incorporate the City's newly acquired golf course and provide a definition for the course along with rules regarding trespassing, loitering, smoking, fishing, and walking on the property.
The amendments also update the noise ordinance to allow flexibility with amplified music and live performances in locations other than Centennial Pavilion, correct the department name and language where appropriate, and incorporate other changes that are minor and administrative in nature.
Review the proposed changes and submit comments during the 30-day public comment period. Please submit comments by Sunday, January 12, 2025.

As one of the many elderly citizens who border the golf course property, I object to the use of lighting and loud music until 10 p.m. as proposed in the noise amendment. 9 p.m. would be more agreeable for those of us who value the quiet and peacefulness that is customary in Sierra Vista. We are not Tucson. I hope "loud" doesn't mean the decibel levels that I've heard in Centennial Park.

I am hopeful the cart paths at the golf course will be repaired. Many are crumbling and are unsafe to walk on in low light. Also, please enforce the no fishing and no unleashed dogs ordinances. They are currently unenforced. Skeptical of possible lighted driving range - how does this fit with our dark skies community!

I have reviewed the ordinance changes which were directed at the golf course. I agree with all parts with the exception of the fishing prohibition. I believe fishing should be allowed during the same time frame as walking. There is absolutely no harm to the course if fishing is allowed. I would not want to eat the fish because of the chemicals on the course but allowing recreational fishing seems to bring more people to the parks usage. Please reconsider this prohibition

Add a paragraph that "No facility under Ordinance 94: Parks will install or operate outdoor lighting higher than 10 feet and not pointing entirely down if not installed before November 1st, 2024."

Section 94.04 (J) says in part: recreational walking is permitted prior to the first tee time and at the conclusion of golfing at the end of each day.
How will walkers know when the first tee time is and when golfing has concluded?

Please address the use of marijuana in public spaces like the parks, golf course etc. Page 5 addresses smoking in the context of tobacco products and vaping but nothing is said about marijuana use. As a citizen of Sierra Vista and one who enjoys our parks, walking paths, events and looking forward to having a nice golf course available to all, I’d like to be assured I would not be exposed to another dangerous substance like marijuana.
