CITY OF TWENTYNINE PALMS GENERAL PLAN - OPEN SPACE ELEMENT

Planning Commission Public Hearing

February 5, 2002

City Council Public Hearing/Adoption

February 26, 2002

Section I

VISION

Within the planning period, 2001 through 2020, increased pressure for development will occur. It is the City’s responsibility to ensure that adequate Open Space is provided. Accordingly, the Open Space Residential (OSR) land use district, as specified in the Land Use Plan, will be retained as an area of limited development, and large parcel residential development will dominate the outlying areas of the City. As the City continues to develop through the planning period, importance will be placed on Open Space and its presence will be a noticeable asset to residents and visitors.

Section II

PURPOSE

The Open Space Plan is the City’s principal planning document to ensure that adequate Open Space is provided in the City. The Plan embodies the City’s Open Space policies for the planning period commencing at adoption and looking forward through the year 2020.

The purpose of the Open Space Plan is to provide safeguards for protection of Open Space and to establish a policy statement which advocates a balance between competing interests. Open Space resources of the community as well as a means of preserving these resources are identified in the Plan.
