Open Space, Parks, and Recreation <br /> Preserve key areas and features as open space. <br /> ➢ Build on and utilize work done for the Partners for Green Growth Project.Mapping for this effort resulted in <br /> the identification of primary and secondary conservation areas.These areas should be utilized in determining <br /> open space in new development.The valuable natural resources that still remain intact in the study area present <br /> a great opportunity for creating a network of open spaces,trails,and greenways that increase access to nature. <br /> ➢ Raise awareness of and appreciation for natural resources. Make features an integral component of the <br /> development pattern. <br /> Provide for a mix of open space types and programming. <br /> ➢ Encourage more formal open space and active recreational uses(i.e.,pocket parks,plazas,formal greens, <br /> traditional playgrounds,sports fields)near developed areas(i.e.,near planned residential areas and <br /> commercial/mixed use activity centers). <br /> ➢ Encourage more natural types of open space and passive types of recreation(such as greenways trails or nature <br /> play areas)near sensitive environmental features(i.e.,stream corridors and floodplain forests). <br /> ➢ Encourage restoration activities in previously disturbed areas adjacent to Mallard Creek floodplain and <br /> tributaries.Previously disturbed areas offer opportunities for habitat restoration and for increased habitat <br /> diversity. Restoration activities could include stream restoration,tree canopy restoration,creation of meadows <br /> (via annual mowing)or pollinator plantings/gardens to complement nearby municipal efforts to restore <br /> Monarch Butterfly habitat in the area. <br /> ➢ Encourage the integration of Green Stormwater Infrastructure(GSI),such as landscaped stormwater retention <br /> and treatment areas that can serve as amenities while protecting water quality through infiltration. <br /> Assist public and private as they work together or separately to establish recreation destinations <br /> within the Study Area. <br /> ➢ Support private investment in entertainment and spectator sport venues that enhance the CMS area. <br /> ➢ Work with Cabarrus County Parks and other partners to implement Town and County Master Plans. <br /> ➢ Partner with Cabarrus County Parks and/or area organizations to create greenway trails,particularly the <br /> Mallard Creek Greenway,and a trailhead in the vicinity of Morehead Road near Mallard Creek by requesting <br /> blanket easements when utilities are installed. <br /> 461 Morehead West Area Plan <br /> Attachment number 1 \n <br /> G-2 Page 188 <br />
