Draft 9/29/14 <br />District are preparing Parks, Recreation & Open Space Comprehensive Plans. These <br />plans will update the regional parkland inventory and make comparisons to regional <br />standards, which will provide a more detailed analysis of regional park supply and <br />demand. <br />4. Providing adequate parks and recreation facilities is made more difficult by the lack of a <br />detailed metropolitan-wide parks and recreation analysis and plan that incorporates a <br />methodology reflecting demand characteristics of this local area. Such an analysis and <br />plan would serve a number of essential functions, including: <br />a. The development of a complete inventory of parks and recreation facilities, the <br />development of local standards for use by the local governing bodies in <br />determining the type and level of parks and facilities that are needed, the <br />development of demand effectiveness measurements, and the development of <br />capital improvements programming and other implementation strategies. <br />b. Indication of how much land is needed for each type of park (regional, <br />community, neighborhood, etc.), and indication of what types of activities should <br />be provided in each park (e.g., active recreational opportunities such as ball fields, <br />tennis courts, and playgrounds vs. passive recreational opportunities such as <br />hiking trails). <br />c.Indication of how the resources of the local and state park agencies can be <br />coordinated and maximized in order for each agency to provide the level and type <br />of recreational opportunities for which it is best suited. <br />d. Indication of where the advance purchase of park land should occur in <br />anticipation of future demand. <br />5.Private recreational facilities supplement and help meet the demand for a variety of <br />recreational opportunities. <br />6. The Lane County Board of Commissioners adopted the Howard Buford Recreation Area <br />Master Planas a refinement to the Metro Plan on June 15, 1994 (Ordinance No. PA <br />1056). <br />Objectives <br />1.Coordinate regional-metropolitan parks planning and development among local and state <br />agencies. <br />2.Ensure that regional-metropolitan parks planning provides a balanced variety of park and <br />recreational opportunities. <br />III-H-3 <br />
