J <br /> 15 <br /> Draft 2/29/96 <br /> RECREATION& PARKS <br /> GOAL: UPDATE THE MASTER RECREATION& PARKS FOR ORANGE COUNTY <br /> S'i ITT REPORT.. <br /> This goal involves updating the Master Recreation&Parks Plan adopted in 1988. Issues have arisen which <br /> suggest an update is needed, and a recent report to the Assembly of Governments cited the need for <br /> standardization of recreation and park standards, and the siting, design, and management of school and park <br /> sites across jurisdictional lines. <br /> BACKGROUND& OBJECTIVES <br /> At the February, 1996 public hearing, proposed amendments to the recreation dedication/payment-in-lieu <br /> provisions were presented. Among the recommendations contained in the report was the suggestion that <br /> consideration be given to updating the Master Recreation & Parks Plan. The rationale for this <br /> recommendation was that the Plan was eight years old, and issues had arisen which suggested an update <br /> was warranted, including the following: <br /> • The relationship between existing and proposed school sites,and proposed parks; <br /> x <br /> • The development of"small area plans" in the northern portions of Chapel Hill and Carrboro and the <br /> impact, if any,that proposed park sites in those areas would have on the need for"County"facilities; <br /> • The utilization of landfill and reservoir sites,both existing and proposed,as possible recreation sites; <br /> • The discussion of strategies for preserving natural and cultural resources through open space design, <br /> including the relationship of these resources to active and passive recreational pursuits;and <br /> • The evolution of a Recreation & Parks Advisory Board for the Town of Hillsborough and the role the <br /> Town would play in the provision of recreational facilities. <br /> At about the same time,a report was presented to the Assembly of Governments by the Recreation& Parks <br /> Work Group, a group comprised of elected officials and Recreation & Parks staff from the municipalities <br /> and County. The report focused on "Recreation & Park Issues in Orange County" and recommended three <br /> specific actions, including: <br /> • Standardization of recreation sections of land use ordinances across jurisdictions, particularly with <br /> respect to the standards used to define recreation and parks requirements; <br /> • Employment of joint siting, designing, and management of school and park sites across jurisdictions, <br /> particularly with respect to planning all new school sites to include park facilities and existing schools <br /> improved with such amenities where mutually beneficial;and <br /> • Using public/private partnerships across jurisdictions. <br />
