§ 8175-5.4.9. To ensure that the site remains an integral and cohesive unit, specific methods such as the following should be employed on a case-by-case basis: open space easements requiring CC&R's that restrict further use of the land with the County as a third party; low density zoning to prevent subdivision of the site; and merger of parcels to create one parcel covering the entire site.
§ 8175-5.4.10. To avoid the loss of the site's natural characteristics several methods should be employed on a case-by-case basis to preserve these values: 60% of the total site should remain in its natural state or be landscaped and only passive recreational uses should be permitted.
