The Special District (S) is created to conserve open space because of terrain limitations, streams and storm drainage, woodlands, natural scenic assets, and adaptability for passive recreational purposes. The specific purpose is:
(a) To reduce the permitted lot coverage to prevent development of steeply sloping land and thereby avoid hillside areas that are costly to develop with all necessary community services;
(b) To conserve stream and drainage channels and prevent encroachment of urban uses which interfere with the natural flow of storm water;
(c) To preserve naturally scenic areas and woodlands for passive recreational purposes; and,
(d) To accommodate limited development on public and semi public areas to retain and preserve the open space and natural characteristics of these lands.
