Taylorsville City Zoning Code

CHAPTER 13

10 OPEN SPACE DISTRICT

13.10.010: PURPOSE AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW:

   A.   Purpose: The open space (OS) district is designed to provide for an enhanced natural environment, protecting the city's limited natural and developed open spaces from further intrusions. The intent of the open space district is to establish areas in the city where only open and generally undeveloped lands are to be permitted. Development of a comprehensive network of permanent, multifunctional, publicly and privately owned open spaces shall be encouraged. Restrictions in this zone are designed to prevent the encroachment of residential, commercial, and industrial uses into these open space areas that would be contrary to the objectives and characteristics of this zone.
   B.   Development Review: All developments within the open space district shall be reviewed and approved by the planning commission. The planning commission shall review all requests for public facilities including parks, pavilions, trails, equestrian areas, and indoor/outdoor recreation centers within this district. During the review process, the planning commission shall set appropriate building height, size, and setback requirements for each specific development proposal. Development shall be landscaped as determined appropriate by the planning commission upon consultation with the parks and recreation department and in compliance with the city's water efficient landscaping ordinance. (Ord. 12-15, 7-11-2012)
