a sense of natural spaciousness, and provide visual relief in the Cityscape.
Open Space within the Master Plan has been reconfigured to address the
received from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U. S. Army Corps of EngiI

providing for Open Space needs. The Master Plan Amendment is increasin
Open Space by approximately 2 acres.
6. Goal 2.A.2 of the Open Space Element is to assure that new development pro

Space areas rather than numerous and disconnected areas. The Master Plal
continually strived to meet this objective by constricting development to congl
conjoined discrete areas to allow for larger connected Open Space areas.

Space areas. In general with this plan, such linkages are not required because t
connectivity of the Open Space. However, where possible the linkages have
provided.
11. The proposed Open Space area is equal to or greater than the area depicted o

medium density, 0-4 dwelling units per acre) single family development.
15. The Housing Element has a Goal 2 that new housing be developed with a divc
of types, prices, tenures, densities and locations. This General Plan Amend

to those areas where they are compatible with the adjacent land uses, and v
adequate and convenient commercial services and public support systems su
streets, parking, parks, schools, and utilities are adequate to serve them.

park, and the public school to meet these needs. All multi-family sites
Circulation Element Roadways. In the lone instance where a multi-family site :
an existing multi-family site, the sites are separated by a significant landsc
slope and the Master Plan conditions the future development to el
compatibility through synonymous product type.
