§ 9.174. Open space types.

 (a)  Because of the varying development and natural characteristics of the metropolitan areas of the Commonwealth, different types of open space lands are necessary to serve various human needs and support different ecologic roles. Since many types of open space provide additional values depending upon the proximity to the human environment, a range of open space opportunities should be readily available to all citizens.

 (b)  It shall be the environmental policy of the Commonwealth to recognize that various open space lands play different ecologic roles and serve different recreational purposes by encouraging and supporting the availability of a wide range of open space types to the citizens of the Commonwealth
