SUS,XCT: Policy to Protect Public Access to Parkland and Open Space
SI"€CifkC REQUEifi(ij OR RECOM#tENWT1ON(!t)i lACKGIROiJND AND J IST1FICAT/ON
R8CoavTwn aAJon:
Direct the Community Development Department to provide a draft policy
restricting the use of gates in residential planned unit development projects
proximate to publicly owned open space or parkland.
Background:
The Board recently spent considerable time on an issue related to a gated
community and access to a regional park. In order to prevent future
occurrences, a policy direction to staff regarding the review of residential planned
unit development projects that would protect public access to parkland and open
space should be developed.
Protection of public access opportunities to local and regional parklands and
public open space, as well as encouraging additional access points, should be a
priority consideration in the planning and review of land use and development
permits in Contra Costa County. Planned unit development projects should not
be approved if they limit or exclude public access from public parkland and trails
unless it can be demonstrated that health and safety considerations would be
significantly compromised. Contra Costa County should support other agencies
in completing local and regional parkland and trail networks that complement
each other and benefit the community as a whole.
