• reserved within the development in a location and upon terms to be mutually determined by the Developer and the City. 10. Parks and Open Spaces The Paso Robles project will provide residents with a range of self - contained recreational activities. The intent of the Parks /Open Space Plan is to provide future residents with a variety of opportunities. Many active recreational facilities will be developed and built, ranging from small neighborhood pocket parks to the larger community centers, and then connected through a trail system. This will be the backdrop for many leisure activities. The major active recreation activity will be the planned 18 -hole golf course. Linkages between communities, schools and commercial areas will be provided through a pedestrian trail system and bicycle corridors. Vineyards, whether internal or external to development parcels, if provided, will be located in designated common open space areas. The recreation and open space areas, besides providing areas for neighbor interaction, will provide physical separation, buffer zones and transitions between areas of urbanization. The undeveloped open space portion of the project is preserved to provide the communities with "passive" recreational opportunities and to maintain a visual barrier between adjacent uses. The open space system will be privately owned and maintained within Paso Robles. The primary open space element for Paso Robles will be an 18 -hole golf course that would be privately owned and operated but open for public play. As such, the Developer is requesting that the final layout and location of the golf course shall be determined during the site development permit stage without requiring Planning & Zoning or City Council approvals. Variations from the Concept Plan are permitted as long as any reduction to the total open space acreage shall require approval from the Planning Commission or City Council. The design and operation of the golf course shall conform and adhere to the principles, practices, standards and specifications related to the Audubon International Signature Program. Access to the golf course shall not be restricted for more than 7 consecutive days or more than 35 days per calendar year, unless specifically approved by the City's Parks and Recreation Department. Maintenance operations shall be excluded from this provision. Paso Robles shall build a golf course and if at some time in the future the golf course is closed the area containing the golf course shall revert to open space. Credit shall be given to the overall Paso Robles project for the impervious cover provided within the golf course. With the community containing a public golf course as well as public trails, the project will more than exceed the required 5 acres of parkland per 1,000 ultimate residents as required by CSM for parkland dedication. The effluent wastewater will be treated by the City to Type I reuse standards and will be used within Paso Robles for allowable uses, including irrigation of common areas and irrigation of the Golf Course, except for those portions of the Golf Course located within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. -23-
