Open Space, Parks and Recreation, and Historic Preservation Element
The purpose of the Open Space, Parks and Recreation component of this element is to
classify, protect, and enhance open space lands and parks and to link them into a Countywide network.
Because open space is essential to the rural character of Jefferson County, this element proposes
strategies to achieve a balance between open space preservation and land development and use
activities, consistent with the requirements of the Growth Management Act.
Recognizing the significance of parks and recreation to the quality of life in Jefferson County, this
element develops strategies to meet the demand for these facilities and services, consistent with capital
planning goals and policies and the Jefferson County Parks,
Recreation & Open Space Plan.
The purpose of the Historic Preservation component of this element is to encourage the preservation of
historic and prehistoric sites, structures and artifacts through designation criteria and review processes.
