Open Space District

The OS open space district is intended to accomplish the following purposes: To encompass lands where natural topography creates practical difficulty for urban development. In such locations, slope, drainage and erosion hinder the adequate placement of utility systems. The provision of safe traffic circulation systems, adhering to the minimum street construction standards of the city, is rendered problematical. It is the intent of this district to protect the public health, safety and welfare and to preserve and enhance the natural conditions of such areas and to reduce the disproportionate costs of public facilities by providing for land uses and development densities involving a minimum disturbance of the land.; To be utilized as a buffer zone between uses which, due to their nature, height, siting or other circumstance, are not compatible with each other. In this case, no building or structure (principal or accessory) may be erected, no trees may be removed and no paving for wheeled vehicles will be allowed.; To apply to public and private recreation areas including parks, golf courses and country clubs where such uses comprise a significant component of the city's open space network. This section applies to such district.
