Tom Dyas says if he is elected mayor in October he would fight to save Âé¶čAV Springs Golf Course from being âturned into warehouses.â
Team Dyas released a statement Tuesday (July 26), a day after city council voted 4-3 to reconsider its earlier decision to designate the property as future industrial land in the 2040 Official Community Plan (OCP).
âResidents have told me that they expect their next mayor to fight to save Âé¶čAV Springs, and thatâs what I will do,â said Dyas.
During Mondayâs council meeting, Mayor Colin Basran pointed out that the owners of Âé¶čAV Springs approached city staff regarding a possible land designation change to commercial or industrial, with the expectation they were going to cease operating.
The golf course was identified as a major opportunity for new industrial development by the city in 2020.
