The purpose of the OSD Open Space Development District is to achieve, to the greatest possible degree, land development that is responsive to the natural and environmental assets and liabilities of a given site. The OSD provides an alternative zoning category that is intended to encourage imaginative design of development. The OSD should be a well-integrated development in terms of major design elements such as roads, drainage systems, utilities, and open space. The OSD allows greater design flexibility so that natural features may be protected and development concentrated in an innovative and efficient manner.
