It is also to serve as a <br />focal point, town gathering place, and family place for people of all ages. The overall visual image <br />is one of an open space/park like setting within which public and quasi public uses and facilities <br />are to be carefully integrated. The unifying landscape character is to become one of an open <br />space arboretum, with agriculture at first, then evolving into wooded and meadow areas over time. <br /> <br />All facilities are to be high quality, easily accessible, and provide flexibility that will meet the <br />changing community needs and values over time. Buildings, other structures, and open areas <br />are to blend together into a unified and visually appealing setting. Land uses and activities <br />are to complement surrounding uses. Planning and long term maintenance are to focus on <br />environmental and fiscal sustainability. The acquisition of the 31B-acre Bernal Property, planning, <br />and initiation of public facility improvements are to be this generation's gift to future generations <br />of the community. <br /> <br />Potential Land Uses <br /> <br />The underlying use within which all future development is to be integrated consists of open <br />space, This area is to feature a coordinated system of linkages including planted woodlands and <br />meadows, restored and recreated channels, lakes and ponds, vegetated storm water basins, other <br />wetlands, trails, public art, and protected view corridors. An open space/grand park-like character <br />is intended to create the dominant visual theme for designing future development. <br /> <br />Within this setting, a variety of public and quasi public uses may be considered for development. <br />However, during the extended time frame over which development will occur, undeveloped <br />portions of the Phase II Planning Area are to be used for agriculture, open space, and/or other <br /> <br />Land Use Element <br /> <br />ISI <br />
