Rohnert Park Municipal Code Art. VI Open Space and Recreational Zoning Districts

The open space districts are intended to ensure that land is maintained beyond the city's developed areas as open space. This open space helps to define the edge of the city and its transition into the adjacent rural areas. The districts are designed to preserve areas that reflect the county's agricultural heritage and to preserve scenic view corridors that may be enjoyed from within the city, as well as to protect areas that have unique and/or sensitive environmental features, such as wetlands, vernal pools, and creek channels.

(Ord. 695 § 3, 2003)

OS-EC: Open Space for Environmental Conservation. This district includes sites with environmental and/or safety constraints, such as riparian corridors, sensitive habitats, and wetlands. This district is consistent with the "Open Space—Environmental Conservation" general plan designation.

(Ord. 695 § 3, 2003)

(Ord. No. 991, § 4(Exh. A, § 19), 1-27-2026)

The following is a list of land uses and the open space and recreational districts within which they are permitted as follows:

P = Permitted.
