Active recreational areas will be required to be provided on at least 1/3 of the total required open space acreage in residential areas and 1/5 of the total required open space acreage in non-residential areas. Required open space for PUDs developed utilizing the cluster development should be calculated as indicated in Section 5-8. Active recreational areas are defmed as - Any park or recreational facility that is not dependent upon a specific environmental or natural resource, which is developed with recreation and support facilities that can be provided anywhere for the convenience of the user.
