Subdivision 1. Purpose. The Council recognizes it is essential to the health, sal~e~ ty and welfare of the residents of the City and persons working in the City, that the character and quality of the environment be considered to be of major importance in the planning ~ttnd development of the City. In this regard, the manner in which land is developed an41 used is of high priority. The preservation of land for park, playground and public open siSace purposes as it relates to the use and development of land for residential, commerciaYifldustrial purpose.s is essential to the maintaining of a healthful and desirable environment/'or all citizens of.the City. The City must not only provide these necessary amenities for bur citizens today, but also be insightful to the needs of our future citizens. It is recognize~:l by the Council that the ~emand for park, playground and public open space within a murj. icipality is directly related to the density and intensity of development permitted ancl allowed within any given area. Higher density developments mean gr(: ater numbers of p~ople and an increased demand for parks, recreational resources and public open space. '~o disregard this principle is to inevitably over-tax existing facilities and thus, diminish the 4uality of the environment for all.
