The site is currently developed as an 18 -hole public golf course originally developed in 1930. The General Plan land use designation for the site is Open Space (OS) which covers a variety of public and private land uses including parkland, golf courses, cemeteries, railroad rights -of -way, riverbeds and creek beds.

The O zoning district allows for open -air recreational and entertainment uses, including bike trails, government buildings, school buildings and facilities, quasi - public and service facilities, and other similar uses whose purpose is to provide for permanent open space throughout the city.
