AMENDMENT EXPLANATION
The goal of this amendment is allow other recreational opportunities in the Land Development Code (LDC), with an objective to add an additional permitted use to the OS district that supports recreation and park activities.
The proposed amendment seeks to allow for civic and fraternal non-profit organization as a permitted use in the OS district. The Comprehensive Plan emphasizes that gathering spaces and recreational areas are appropriate for the OS district. Civic and fraternal organizations play a significant role in enhancing and fostering community engagement, and align with the core objectives of the OS district. It is important to note that this amendment is designed to accommodate civic and fraternal non-profit organizations, without specifying any particular organization, to maintain inclusivity and flexibility.
Due to community-focused and non-profit organizations contributing to the well-being of the community and its residents; promoting community engagement, social gatherings, and recreational activities; and catering to the needs of a diverse range of community-focused initiatives, it is recommended a civic and fraternal non-profit organization land use be added as a permitted use in the OS district.
