Updated January 2025 – Gem Lake Consolidated Land Use Ordinance No. 131 33 <br /> <br />5. Civic Space Standards. The City of Gem Lake’s visioning plan requires well-planned and functional open spaces, <br />preservation areas, parks and gathering places, which are generally referred to in this Section as “civic space.” An <br />application’s development plan shall dedicate or otherwise set aside sufficient land for public civic space. At a minimum, <br />10% of the total acreage in development shall be identified on the plans as Civic Space. The acreage of wetlands protected <br />by state statute and any wetland buffer required by a governing watershed district shall be excluded from calculations of <br />“total acreage in development” and from the calculation of the 10% dedication to civic space. A Civic Space shall conform <br />to one or more of the Civic Space Templates at Figures 4 and 5. The Civic Space Type used to design a given Civic Space <br />shall be indicated on any plan or diagram intended to show compliance with this section. <br /> <br /> <br />Figure 4 <br /> <br />
