EAST PEORIA - East Peoria City Council
is set to vote on changing a city code to allow the development of equestrian
subdivisions.
The city's planning director Ty
Livingston said it is still just a concept, but the city has had developers
approach them with ideas.
He said the amendment would allow for
the development of homes and facilities used for housing, boarding and training
horses.
He explained. "One potential form that
these can come in is you have a one of two acre ranch where you can have homes
on the acreage with a horse or two and then you have a large common area that
has an arena on it that's designed for being able to run the horses a lot more."
Pending the decision tonight, any
equestrian subdivision projects will go before the zoning board and then back
to city council for final approval.
