Recreation Plan Map Series


Using the Air Force's General Plan Submittals (AFI 32-7062)as a model, I created a "Composite Constraints and Opportunities" map as a basis for future recreation planning in the county. Currently in the draft stages, the map shows opportunities such as environmental priorities, Florida Forever projects, and Florida Trust applications. Since recreation uses can be placed virtually anywhere, the only constraint we could come up with was Industrial future land use (the county was not wanting to sacrifice any potentially job-creating/economy-building land uses).
Existing parks could be interpreted as opportunities and constraints depending on the needs of the specific planning district. For example, if a larger park is needed then showing the points is an opportunity. If the goal is to spread out resources, then the park points would become a constraint to avoid.
