"My interpretation of that text is those are all physical improvements and uses associated with the physical nature of those elements, not something as transient as a sales activity or a program.

From the transcript
In rereading this section of Title 21, my interpretation of of the previous text, starting with line 22 on page 7 of 23. That last sentence, accessory uses may include listing here: clubhouses, playgrounds, maintenance facilities, concessions, caretakers' quarters, and parking. My interpretation of that text is those are all physical improvements and uses associated with the physical nature of those elements, not something as transient as a sales activity or a program. Um, in interpreting it in that manner, and the department chair reminding us that these parks have master plans, I'm questioning why are those two elements not addressed in the master plans themselves or other sections of code and not here? So that's why I threw it out there.
