Strategies
Goal: To create a destination-centered Parks System complemented by high quality maintenance and amenities. Policy: Expand the City’s parkland area by focusing on underserved parks and recreation areas. • Action: Provide a park within walking distance of all homes in the city. • Action: Acquire parkland in areas of the city with significant parkland needs. • Action: Identify, purchase if necessary, and preserve unique natural and open space areas, habitat, and plant and wildlife within the community. Policy: Expand the City’s parkland area by partnering with developers and other individuals and groups. • Action: Encourage the preservation of open space by individuals, companies, non-profits, and public agencies to enhance the livability, aesthetic value, and natural beauty of the city. • Action: Require improved and activated parkland from new development through revised zoning regulations and through discretionary zoning requests by developers. • Action: As Bayside and other areas continue to develop, ensure that connections and access to the beach are provided with access easements and applicable wayfinding and on-site signage where feasible.
