The following items were taken out of order: ITEM 2 — REVIEW AND APPROVAL DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVE PARKLAND IN PARK STANDARD AND IN-LIEU FEE ORDINANCE Superintendent Hover referred to his 4-25-07 report to the Commission asking for input on several issues concerning open space in private developments. He asked for input on whether any credit should be granted to developers for private open space, suggested minimum requirements for such a credit, and then discussed differences in the credit based on whether it was open to the public or only available to residents of the development. Commissioner Swope asked and staff agreed to change the language so the word "use" is not repeated in "useable for active recreational uses". Staff recommended that "usage for active recreation" be defined as: i. At least 1.0 acres in size. ii. Open to residents of the subdivision for recreational uses. iii. At least 25% of the area is developed with basketball, soccer, baseball, volleyball, tennis, football, or similar courts.
