Background

The new Parks and Recreation Facilities Guidelines set common standards and quality benchmarks for both public and private recreation facilities, ensuring consistency and modernity in their development. The updated guidelines is a companion resource to the Subdivision Regulations and the Zoning Ordinance. This update replaces the outdated 1983 version and will be regularly revised to meet current needs and best practices. The resolution mandates that the updated guidelines be implemented and maintained by the Department of Parks and Recreation and the Planning Department to enhance and standardize parks and recreational facilities in the county.
