Planning Documents
Our Planning Division is responsible for developing and implementing parks and recreation facility planning documents including the Parks and Recreation Element, of the County’s General Plan, and individual park facility Master Plans. These plans guide the future development of needed parks and recreation facilities to serve the residents and visitors of San Luis Obispo County. The following is a list of completed planning documents:
-
Parks and Recreation Element
The Parks and Recreation Element (PRE) is a long-term plan for the County’s unincorporated areas, identifying future park, recreation, and natural area projects. The PRE establishes policies and programs to provide and maintain parks, recreation, and natural areas within San Luis Obispo County. The San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors adopted the PRE on December 19, 2006 and became effective (law) January 18, 2007.
