Natural Areas and Outdoor Tourism

Local Example: Pearland Nature Center

CHARACTER AND INTENT Natural Areas and Outdoor Tourism areas are characterized by very large tracts of undeveloped land primarily used for natural preservation/ education, hiking, and general outdoor tourism. These tracts provide much of the environmental and open space character in the community and its border regions. Natural Areas and Outdoor Tourism includes opportunities for additional uses and low-intensity developments that support the character and economic viability of the broader, primary land use.
