Surrounding the wetlands is a protective buffer zone with a hiking trail, screened from the more sensitive wildlife habitats, and outside that, on the flatter lands, will be several passive recreation areas, Although urban development will be encouraged on the slopes overlooking the lagoon, it will be subject to design controls that limit grading, maintain natural drainage courses and levels of runoff, and require planting for erosion. With such controls, development of these slopes will be entirely compatible with a productive lagoon
