The Penhances economic <br />sustainability without detracting from surrounding land uses. <br /> <br /> Open Space Element <br /> <br /> Goal OS-1 encourages the provision of accessible parks, open <br />spaces, and recreational opportunities that improve community <br />well-being. Policy OS-1.10 supports the use of creative <br />solutions to address open space deficiencies through <br />partnerships with private organizations and the development of <br />innovative facilities. The proposed Footlab facility is consistent <br />with Goal OS-1 and Policy OS-1.10 as it provides a privately <br />operated, yet publicly accessible, recreation facility that helps <br />meet the need for active open space in a park-deficient area of <br />the City. By offering both indoor and outdoor sports <br />opportunities, the Project delivers a unique and flexible <br />recreational amenity that enhances the well-being of local <br />residents, while reducing pressure on the City’s existing park <br />resources. <br /> <br /> Goal OS-2 focuses on enhancing health, safety, and inclusivity <br />through improved access to open space and recreational <br />opportunities. Policy OS-2.1 encourages a variety of <br />recreational facilities to meet diverse community needs, and <br />Policy OS-2.2 promotes the integration of open space that <br />supports active lifestyles.
