When not prohibited by law, ordinance, rule, regulation or otherwise, the Director of Public Service and Safety may permit, for due consideration, any of the City's street rights of way to be counted by any party seeking to have the same counted for purposes of securing the requisite acreage for obtaining of a permit(s) for the drilling of an oil and gas well.
Before giving any such permission, however, the Director of Public Service and Safety shall seek, and give due consideration to, a recommendation(s) from the Planning Director. Where impracticable, the Director of Public Service and Safety need not solicit bids in order to give such permission. The Director of Public Service and Safety may execute, on behalf of the City, any and all documentation necessary or useful to effectuate such permission.
Notwithstanding any foregoing provisions to the contrary, no permission shall be granted to count or include for purposes of this section, any streets, roads or drives within any of the City's parks, or any of the property or area of the City's parks.
