§ 400-22
Open Space and Public Land (OSPL)
- A. Purpose. The purpose of the Open Space and Public Land (OSPL) Zone is to ensure all OSPL owned by a public agency has a district associated with it in the event of transference or sale. This district regulates and manages any parcel or area of land or water essentially unimproved and set aside, dedicated, designated, reserved, and preserved from private development. Such land includes the W. Alton - Jones Campus, state-owned Big River Reservoir property, Wickaboxet State Forest, Arcadia State Forest, Beach Pond State Park and other designated publicly owned land or water. A zoning district would safeguard such property therein, in the event of transference or sale, while granting, via special use permit exclusively, select public-related uses.
- B. Uses allowed by special use permit. See attached Zone Use Matrix.
