The purpose of the CRP District is to permit the development of major recreational use facilities on lands uniquely situated in the city by virtue of such factors as access, surrounding uses and adaptability. The lands may be wholly or partially unsuitable for most residential, commercial or industrial development because of location, surrounding uses, water tables, drainage and soil conditions, the lack of adequate public utilities because of availability or cost considerations and where such developments would adversely impact the floodplains, wetlands and drainageways of the area. The recreational use development shall be designed to conserve, preserve and enhance the environment, important natural features and resources, forests and woodlands and control density, particularly in areas of the city affected by major highways, airports and other regional areas.
