PURPOSE AND INTENT
The Foothills Board of Directors adopts a Land Use Encroachment Program to protect District properties
from unwanted development within parks, trail corridors, and open space areas.
The purpose and intent of this policy is to protect the public health, safety and general welfare of all Foothills District
residents and properties.
PROGRAM CRITERIA
The land use encroachment program prohibits the placement of manmade or natural materials or the construction
of any improvements within property owned or leased by Foothills Parks and Recreation District.
Items prohibited from placement or construction in all District parks, trail corridors, and open space areas include:
- grass clippings, tree clippings, stumps, yard waste, animal waste, trash or other similar natural materials;
- buildings, structures, fences or walls;
- vegetable or ornamental gardens;
- volleyball courts, play courts, or any type of play field;
- landscape or irrigation improvements;
- placement of pipes or trenches that provide drainage onto District property from downspouts,
sump pumps, or common detention ponds unless otherwise approved through the appropriate County and
Foothills District processes;
- permanent or temporary storage of automobiles or automobile parts, trailers, recreation vehicles,
or any type of construction equipment
- mowing, tree trimming, removal or adjustment of fence or walk locations, or removal or adjustment
to irrigation systems on District property is prohibited.
The Land Use Encroachment program allows for temporary access across District property
under the following circumstances:
- construction of utilities (along with necessary easement documents);
- construction of drainage improvements or soil erosion stabilization;
- access for special events conducted by the District or individual homeowners.
Temporary access shall occur following submittal and approval of a
temporary access permit application.

The permit will identify the location, timeframe, and type of use along with specific details of how and
when access restoration will occur. There is no charge for the temporary access permit.
Temporary access permit applications are available at the Maintenance and Service Center located at
the Schaefer Athletic Complex.
