Conservation Land and Green Space Inventory] [Annual Report
Open Space Category
The Open Space category is defined in the Land Preservation Resolution 2000-1230 as, “Undeveloped land within the urban area of Broward County where the native vegetative community has been cleared or replaced; or agricultural land such as row crops, nurseries, groves, or pasture, or, solely for the purpose of this Resolution, developed land selected for acquisition to be reclaimed to open space in perpetuity.” Section 4 of the same resolution establishes the criteria for selection of the Open Space projects:
4.03. Property eligible for listing in the Open Space Inventory. Land which does not meet the criteria set forth in 4.01 or 4.02 above may be included in the Open Space Inventory if at least one of the following criteria is met:
a. Undeveloped or agricultural land which can function, if appropriately developed and managed, to optimize water recharge quality and quantity, air quality and environmental benefits of the site while providing public use; or
b. Developed land, including contaminated land, which can be cost-effectively reclaimed as primarily open space or park in perpetuity to optimize water recharge quality and quantity, air quality and environmental benefits with the agreement of the local government where the land is located.
The Land Preservation Bond Program inittially allocated $48 million for the purchase of sites in the Open Space Category. Because some of the targeted Green Spaces and Conservation Lands were not acquired close to an additional $40M were used to spread the benefit of recreational activities in safe spaces throughout Broward County by the acquisition of additional Open Space sites. As of January 2008 close to one thousand acres of Open Spaces and Purchase of Development Rights have been acquired through the 2000 Land Presevation Bond Program
