City Open Space
The City of San Luis
Obispo operates 12 large (30-700 acres) open space lands that are
available for passive recreation. These properties are managed
through the framework of the following guidelines and procedures:
| Open
Space Element Goals |
| Provide
open space, agricultural, and rural lands that meet the
needs of present and future City populations. |
| Protect
Resources (such as creeks, sensitive habitat, and
agriculture) and be sensitive to the factors which allow
these resources to remain viable. |
| Provide a
greenbelt around the City's perimeter to: a) define the
urban limit of San Luis Obispo; b) provide a physical
separation between urban communities; c) protect important
agricultural areas from urban uses and maintain agriculture
as an economically viable activity. |
| Provide
for passive recreation where such low intensity uses will
not damage the resources that are being protected, and
preserve lands as open space or parkland which serve as
important linkages between other open space lands, parks, or
trails. |
| Provide
continuing community education that underscores the value of
the area's cultural, scenic, and natural resources |
