<br /> Over the last decade ; several recreation and parks planning efforts have
<br /> been undertaken across Orange County , with policy recommendations .
<br /> covering a spectrum of related issues . Committees , citizen work groups + and ,
<br /> local governments have worked together in developing guidelines for the
<br /> future recreation and open space needs of our County . Through these efforts ,
<br /> we can ensure the provision of a wide range of recreational opportunities and a .
<br /> venues for all citizens .
<br /> This section includes the overarching rationale for the creation of a
<br /> framework for joint planning . of recreation and parks , as well as a listing of
<br /> the primary recommendations of these various working groups from 1988 to
<br /> the present .
<br /> A . Rationale for Intergovernmental Plan
<br /> ~ ' Guiding policies for the update include :
<br /> • Explore the relationship between existing and proposed school sites ' and .
<br /> parks It
<br /> • Explore strategies for the preservation of natural and cultural ' resources
<br /> through acquisition and open space design , including the relationship of
<br /> these resources to active and low - impact recreational uses :
<br /> • Update Master Plans of County and Municipalities ( See Appendix A)
<br /> These policies provide the impetus for much of the current update effort and
<br /> are largely based upon a combination of current and past concerns and
<br /> efforts .
