It may be either restricted to the owners via homeowner'/property owners'association <br /> (HOA/POA), or open to others as specified by the association. <br /> Primary Open Space: These areas have sensitive environmental features and/or significant cultural resource areas, <br /> which may make them legally or practically unbuildable. These areas are reserved for passive uses(e.g.,forests, <br /> pastures, meadows)and low impact active uses(e.g.,trails, natural observation). <br /> Secondary Open Space: Secondary Open Space Areas have fewer restrictions with regard to location, allow more <br /> flexibility to improve overall open space design, and have more active uses (e.g., community gardens, <br /> playgrounds). <br /> Active Open Space:A subset or category of open space that defines the type and/or intensity of its use. Active <br /> areas are typically built areas and most often contain equipment and/or infrastructure.They are also frequently <br /> used by the residents. Examples include:trails, community gardens, and recreation fields, plays areas, pocket <br /> parks, and ball courts. <br /> Passive Open Space: A subset or category of open space that defines the type and/or intensity of its use. Passive <br /> areas are typically undisturbed, conserved areas that have little to no direct physical human interaction within that <br /> portion of the open space. <br /> Utility Open Space: A subset or category of open space that defines the type and/or intensity of its use. Utility <br /> areas are typically open but contain public and/or private utilities and services. Examples include utility lines or <br /> easements(e.g.,water,sewer,gas, power),septic drain fields, and repair areas.Additional recreation use of these <br /> areas is typically limited based on the type of utility requirements that are in place. <br /> 2 Acreage as measured on Final Site Construction Plans may vary, but in no case shall the total <br /> Common Open Space acreage be less than 60% of the total development. <br /> ZAA Dev Conditions Statement 2024-12-17 <br />
