Central Point City Zoning Code

The purpose of the parks and open space district is to provide necessary open space for the community and to protect environmentally sensitive areas that have a corresponding designation for their public land use category in the comprehensive plan.

Parks and open space zones are located throughout the city including the transit-oriented development (TOD) district. New sites for parks and open space uses will be designated as sub-area master plans are prepared and adopted by the city.

The intent of this zoning category is to allow for needed park and/or riparian uses in the community, such as active and passive recreation areas, bike and pedestrian paths, dual-purpose flood detention areas, and similar uses. Structures such as tennis and basketball courts, play equipment, gazebos and restrooms are envisioned. The uses allowed are proposed to be compatible with the residential neighborhoods that generally surround them. There may be instances where parks are integrated into commercial and industrial areas as well. Any uses that can have a wider range of potential impact are subject to conditional use review.
