Priorities for preservation include: The most sensitive resources -- floodways and floodplains (including riparian and wetland areas), slopes in excess of 25%, locally significant features, and scenic viewpoints. Fragmentation of open space areas should be minimized so that resource areas are able to be managed and viewed as an integrated network.
