(A) General purpose. The purpose of the special districts is to recognize there are unique areas within the town that require special treatment to provide for their continuance or preservation. Unlike residential, commercial or industrial zoning districts that exist to regulate development, special districts provide mechanisms for the protection of undeveloped areas, federal lands, or recreational resources that are located within the town.
(B) Special Districts.
(1) Future Development District (FD). The intent of the Future Development District is to recognize that many areas of the town are not likely to develop in the near future and possibly cannot be served at present with public facilities. Therefore, any uses would require that conditions change significantly and a change to another district would then be justified. Some outdoor recreational uses that require minimal facilities can be permitted in these outlying areas when properly developed and controlled.
(2) Federal Lands District (FL). The intent and purpose of the Federal Lands District is to conserve natural resources, protect scenic vistas, and provide recreational opportunities for undeveloped federal lands that are administered by the Bureau of Land Management or other federal agencies. Land within this district shall preclude future development, unless a significant change in conditions occurs, and only if a change to another district is approved pursuant to the provisions of this chapter or as directed by and pursuant to applicable Federal law and jurisdiction. This district shall in no way diminish, modify, amend, interfere with, or change the rights, duties and privileges of the lands federal ownership and enjoyment as property of the United States.
(3) Parks/Open Space District (POS). The intent of this district is to promote the public health, safety and general welfare of the community by protecting and preserving open space as a limited and valuable resource which conserves natural resources, protects scenic vistas, provides recreational opportunities, and contributes to the overall quality of life in the town.
(C) Parks/open space use standards.
