The "Project Selection Criteria and Checklist" is hereby incorporated into this Parks. Recreation and QDen SDace Master Plan to be used in the selection and acquisition of Greenspace. Special Use Lands is another classification added to those included in the San Marcos Horizons. This classification may include all unique parcels of land that do not fall into any other category. This classification may also include parcels of land which can be used to complete, connect and/or complement the citywide park and recreation system, and may also include unused dedicated streets and alleys that serve these functions. Using the park classifications listed above, members of Gil Engineering Associates, Inc. and the City of San Marcos Planning and Development Services staff performed an inventory of all the existing accessible and inaccessible parks, and available Special Use lands. Accessible parkland includes lands used for active recreation (such as playgrounds, ball fields, etc.) or for passive recreation (such as hiking trails, picnic areas and other low impact uses). Currently undeveloped parkland that is planned for development in the near future is also included as accessible land. Inaccessible parkland includes lands that are undeveloped and are generally not accessible to the public, such as conservation areas. All of the parks and available lands were subsequently classified using the recommended Parks Classification System with acreage derived from the City of San Marcos Geographic Information System (GIS).
