IV. OPEN SPACE
A. Introduction
This Master Plan for La Costa designates 246 acre to be set aside as open space. These open space
areas, as shown on Exhibit IV-1, Open Space Plan, provide buffers between residential areas and rcx
and commercial and public areas as well as define neighborhoods. A system of pedestrian trails wil traverse these open space corridors to connect sc parks and the community core with the housing arc
These trails may connect to a broader citywide CI
culation system. This Master Plan also includes
improvement of a 105 acre private golf course anc
public parks totaling 49 acres.
All open space including, but not limited to, the
space corridors shown on Exhibit IV-1, shall be -
proved in accordance with Section IV .C . below anc dedicated in accordance with Section 1V.B. below pursuant to the Phasing Schedule contained in Sec
a

have no further obligation to offer to dedicate (

Complete sprinkler systems. All areas sh
receive a moisture sensing override at th
controller to avoid over-watering and pro
vide plant material with the proper soil-
moisture relationship required in the roo zone. All sprinklers having potential "run-off" from a higher elevation of spri
heads should be supplied with check valve to avoid erosion and wasted water run-off
Systems should be designed to operate in
hours 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. Drip irrigation any area, using the proper system, should
considered if designed correctly. It is
recommended only as automatic irrigation each area, by its merit, should be detern for drip potential. This is the irrigati designer's role in pursuing alternative
methods.
