16 Be Capital improvements programming should give priority to extension of necessary water and sewer service into the proposed industrial corridor. Ce Thoroughfare planning should continue to give priority to north- south lirkage between Interstate 85 and State Highway 49 within the industrial corridor area. VI. THROUGH ACTIVE LAND USE PLANNING, PROVIDE INFORMATION NECESSARY TO ASSURE THAT LAND ACQUISITION FOR PARKS AND RECREATIONAL USE WILL BE ACCOM- PLISHED IN THE MOST COST EFFICIENT MANNER. SUCH ACQUIRED LANDS SHOULD BE LOCATED AND DEVELOPED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO PROVIDE ACTIVE AND PASSIVE RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES WHICH WILL BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE AND OBTAIN MAXIMUM USAGE. IMPLEMENTATION: Through zoning, residential densities for various areas are indicated, enabling recreation planners to anticipate recreational needs of the area prior to actual development. Using this information, parks and recreation sites can be identified and acquired at a lower cost prior to the full development of the area. Through zoning, housing types allowed in an area are identified, giving recreational planners an indication as to what types of recreational facilities will be required by that area. Be Development standards included in zoning, subdivision, and mobile. home parks ordinances for large unified developments should encourage recreational facilities and/or open space easements, especially where the site includes marginal development land such as identified flood plain, steep or rocky terrain, etc. This will release some public responsibility for the provision of recreational facilities to residents of new developments. .C. Plans to develop multi-purpose water impoundment facilities should be fiscally supported. Such structures provide water based recreation,~-~ as well as water retention and flood control. Zoning, subdivision, and capital improvement programs should dis- courage high density development on sites planned for multi-purpose water impoundment facilities, thus iowering acquisition costs. VII. PLANNING EFFORTS AND DEVELOPMENTAL REGULATIONS SHOULD PLACE MORE EMPHASIS UPON THE MAXIMIZATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES AND THE RECOGNITION OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS WHICH AFFECTS DEVELOPMENTAL QUALITY WITHIN THE COUNTY. IMPLEMENTATION: Ao Water quantity and quality throughout Cabarrus County are relatively poor, therefore, growth rate and density of development should be regulated according to environmental capability to support develop- ment prior to development of community water systems approved by the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development. Zoning, subdivision, Capital Improvement Programming and health regulations should be coordinated to assure that all new development within the County has an adequate water supply. Be The proliferation of package sewer treatment plants servicing urban type development in rural areas should be discouraged until local government has the ability to monitor operations more closely. C. Flood plain regulations should be developed and strictly enforced. Since soils within Cabarrus County are generally poor for septic system type waste disposal, rural residential densities should be low until it is proven that soils within certain areas are adequate to support median density development. Zoning regulations should be applied for density control.
