§ 17.16.010. Purpose.
The purpose of the open space (OS) district is to protect as open space, lots, or portions of lots, that are (A) most properly kept as open space; (B) needed as a greenbelt or buffer along significant river and creekside corridors or around important natural features; or (C) kept in open space for health or safety reasons. This district is consistent with the natural resource protection-open space (N-O) general plan land use designation. This district may also be applied to other areas to protect significant river or creekside corridor habitat areas or other important natural areas, or to properties where development should be limited due to health or safety reasons.
