VI. THROUGH ACTIVE LAi4D USE PLAiqNING, PROVIDE INFOP~SATION NECESSARY <br />TO ASSURE THAT LAND ACQUISITION FOR PARKS AND RECREATIONAL USE WILL <br />BE ACCO~._rPLISHED IN THE MOST COST EFFIC!Ei'IT MANNER. SUCH ACQUIRED <br />LANDS SHOULD BE LOCATED .'~uX,lD DEVELOPED IN SUCH A [,/AY AS TO PROVIDE <br />ACTIVE AND PASSIVE RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES WHICH WiLL BE EASILY <br />ACCESSIBLE AND OBTAIN ii&XIkRI~[ USEAGE. <br /> <br />!i'~PLE~NTATION: <br /> <br /> A. Through zoning, residennial desities for various areas are <br /> indicated, enabling recreation planners to anticipate re- <br /> creational needs of the area prior to actual development. <br /> Using this information, parks and recreation sites can be <br /> identified and acquired at a lower cost prior to the full <br /> development of the area. Through zoning, housing types al- <br /> lowed in an area are identified, giving recreational planners <br /> an indication as to what types of recreational facilities will <br /> be required by that area. <br /> <br /> B. Development standards included in zoning, subdivision, and <br /> mobile home parks ordinances for large unified developments <br /> should encourage recreational facilities and/or open space <br /> easements, especially where the site includes marginal develop- <br /> ment land such as identified flood plain, steep or rocky <br /> terrain, etc. This will release some public responsibility <br /> for the provision of recreational facilities to residents of <br /> new developments. <br /> <br /> C. Plans to develop multi-purpose water impoundment facilities <br /> should be fiscally supported. Such structures provide water <br /> based recreation, as well as water retention and flood control. <br /> <br /> D. Zoning, subdivision, and capitol improvemen~ programs should <br /> discourage high density development on sites planned for <br /> multi-purpose water impoundment facilities~ thus lowering <br /> acquisition costs. <br /> <br /> <br />
