A.   Purpose:

      1.   Generally: Open space provides recreational linkages between different areas of the County; floodplain, wetland, drainage or view protection; and/or wildlife habitat. Public access may be provided with designated trails or bicycle facilities. In other areas lands may be left undeveloped to provide visual buffers along an important scenic area or between community boundaries. Open space may be granted to or purchased outright by the County for public use, donated to private land trusts, or protected using another method, such as conservation easements, signage restrictions, and design controls.

      2.   Primary Uses: Publicly owned/managed and accessible lands preserved by the County, other government agencies, or quasi- public (land trusts, non-profit organizations, etc.) for conservation, resource protection, or recreational use. Does not include lands that are part of a private development (e.g., planned unit development).

May also be preserved without public access to protect sensitive natural areas such as wetlands, floodplains and wildlife habitat.

      3.   Secondary Uses: Utilities (e.g., Municipal wells or other public or quasi-public utility facilities/structures).
