This amendment will aid in the implementation of this Plan by updating the Comprehensive Plan as follows:

· Amend the Recreation and Open Space Element to revise definitions of park types, revise level-of-service (LOS) standards for specified park facilities,  and provide design and access standards for neighborhood/local and regional parks including using park prototypes as guiding documents.

·Amend the Future Land Use Element to move certain recreation level-of-service standards into the Recreation and Open Space Element.

·Amend the Stormwater Sub-Element to integrate stormwater features into neighborhood parks.
