§ 633-1. Legislative intent.

A. 

This Legislature hereby finds that the County has identified lands which are to be acquired for open space purposes, which lands are often subject to intense development pressure.

B. 

This Legislature hereby declares that it is inconsistent for one agency or department of the County to be approving development of open space lands when another government agency, department or governing board has set a policy to acquire said lands and that it is imperative that a uniform procedure be established for the approval of development permits in such open space lands and to afford potential developers an opportunity to determine whether the County will take steps to acquire the lands prior to incurring expenses associated with applying for development permits.

C. 

Therefore, the purpose of this chapter is to establish such uniform procedures.
