The specific purposes of the parks, recreation, and open space and the resource conservation zoning districts are as follows:

PROS Parks, Recreation and Open Space: The PROS Zoning District is intended to create and establish regulations for parks, recreation and open space areas allowing for recreational activities and/or natural resource preservation.

RCN Resource Conservation: The RCN Zoning District is intended to create and establish regulations to preserve remaining open spaces in their natural state and protect valuable resources. More specifically, this district is intended for undeveloped publicly owned lands, visually significant open lands, water areas, wetlands, and wildlife habitat. These areas are set aside as permanent open space preserves and may include trails, trail heads, and other facilities for low-impact public recreational uses. This district includes wetlands, mudflats, creek corridors and other natural preservation areas, as well as private lands deedrestricted for open space preservation.
