description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN STYLE="font-size:12pt">This is a layer of Parks that is intended to follow the outline of the parcel upon which it resides. This layer came from the Department of Parks and Rec 'Parks Needs Assessment' for TYPE = "Local Park". This type distinguishes developed parks from the large regional parks or natural areas, as a sensitive use is focused on parks with playgrounds and other amenities where children would be present. Additional work was done to add polygons from our 2010-2012 Jessica's Law analysis to capture additional parks and sports complexes not covered by the Parks Needs Assessment (with the exception of Golf Courses). A 'SOURCE' field was added to distinguish these two sources. Below is a brief description of the Jessica's Law methodology:</SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-weight:bold;font-size:12pt">Jessica's Law methodology</SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-size:12pt">: The basis for the 2011 parks data layer began with the State of California’s Protected Areas Database (CPAD) in conjunction with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) existing land use layers from 2005 and 2008. These data layers were cross checked against one another for spatial accuracy and verified with ortho and oblique aerial imagery, and street level imagery. Last update: January 2011. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;font-size:12pt">Source: </SPAN><SPAN STYLE="font-size:12pt">State of California, Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), Thomas Bros.
