PURPOSE STATEMENT

The purpose of the Supplemental Use Guidelines is to provide a transparent tool to evaluate useproposals in Parksrsquo classified Natural Areas and Greenbelts The guidelines include a checklist of

criteria that will allow for low-intensity passive and active recreation activities while minimizing

adverse impacts on the environment

As Seattlersquos population increases Seattle Parks and Recreation needs to continue to

bull Provide opportunities to contemplate and build community

bull Preserve and enhance forest habitat tree canopy and water quality

bull Provide recreation opportunities for our changing needs and

bull Ensure equitable access to all park land including Natural Areas and Greenbelts

Access and exposure to our urban natural environment is needed in order to build a sense of

responsibility and promote stewardship of these lands with the next generation The Supplemental UseGuidelines and attached checklist (see Appendix A) will

11 Limit the adverse impacts of proposed uses in our urban Natural Areas and Greenbelts

and their surrounding environment12 Provide criteria for determining the compatibility of activities within these areas their

design character and level of use while providing access opportunity and sustainability

13 Protect and enhance the value of Natural Areas and Greenbelts as a regionally significanteducational and recreational resource

PURPOSE STATEMENT

The purpose of the Supplemental Use Guidelines is to provide a transparent tool to evaluate useproposals in Parksrsquo classified Natural Areas and Greenbelts The guidelines include a checklist of

criteria that will allow for low-intensity passive and active recreation activities while minimizing

adverse impacts on the environment

As Seattlersquos population increases Seattle Parks and Recreation needs to continue to

bull Provide opportunities to contemplate and build community

bull Preserve and enhance forest habitat tree canopy and water quality

bull Provide recreation opportunities for our changing needs and

bull Ensure equitable access to all park land including Natural Areas and Greenbelts

Access and exposure to our urban natural environment is needed in order to build a sense of

responsibility and promote stewardship of these lands with the next generation The Supplemental UseGuidelines and attached checklist (see Appendix A) will

11 Limit the adverse impacts of proposed uses in our urban Natural Areas and Greenbelts

and their surrounding environment12 Provide criteria for determining the compatibility of activities within these areas their

design character and level of use while providing access opportunity and sustainability

13 Protect and enhance the value of Natural Areas and Greenbelts as a regionally significanteducational and recreational resource

PURPOSE STATEMENT

The purpose of the Supplemental Use Guidelines is to provide a transparent tool to evaluate useproposals in Parksrsquo classified Natural Areas and Greenbelts The guidelines include a checklist of

criteria that will allow for low-intensity passive and active recreation activities while minimizing

adverse impacts on the environment

As Seattlersquos population increases Seattle Parks and Recreation needs to continue to

bull Provide opportunities to contemplate and build community

bull Preserve and enhance forest habitat tree canopy and water quality

bull Provide recreation opportunities for our changing needs and

bull Ensure equitable access to all park land including Natural Areas and Greenbelts

Access and exposure to our urban natural environment is needed in order to build a sense of

responsibility and promote stewardship of these lands with the next generation The Supplemental UseGuidelines and attached checklist (see Appendix A) will

11 Limit the adverse impacts of proposed uses in our urban Natural Areas and Greenbelts

and their surrounding environment12 Provide criteria for determining the compatibility of activities within these areas their

design character and level of use while providing access opportunity and sustainability

13 Protect and enhance the value of Natural Areas and Greenbelts as a regionally significanteducational and recreational resource

PURPOSE STATEMENT

The purpose of the Supplemental Use Guidelines is to provide a transparent tool to evaluate useproposals in Parksrsquo classified Natural Areas and Greenbelts The guidelines include a checklist of

criteria that will allow for low-intensity passive and active recreation activities while minimizing

adverse impacts on the environment

As Seattlersquos population increases Seattle Parks and Recreation needs to continue to

bull Provide opportunities to contemplate and build community

bull Preserve and enhance forest habitat tree canopy and water quality

bull Provide recreation opportunities for our changing needs and

bull Ensure equitable access to all park land including Natural Areas and Greenbelts

Access and exposure to our urban natural environment is needed in order to build a sense of

responsibility and promote stewardship of these lands with the next generation The Supplemental UseGuidelines and attached checklist (see Appendix A) will

11 Limit the adverse impacts of proposed uses in our urban Natural Areas and Greenbelts

and their surrounding environment12 Provide criteria for determining the compatibility of activities within these areas their

design character and level of use while providing access opportunity and sustainability

13 Protect and enhance the value of Natural Areas and Greenbelts as a regionally significanteducational and recreational resource
