G. LAND USE CONVERSIONS Land acquired or developed with POS grant assistance may not be used for any purpose other than public recreation or public open space and will be restricted to such uses by covenants in the deed to the property. Prior approval from the Secretaries of the Departments of Natural Resources, Budget and Management, and State Planning is required before any acquisition or development sites may be converted to any other use. The local governing body of a county or municipal corporation responsible for a proposed conversion of use must immediately contact POS when a conversion is proposed [POS Law, Section 5-906 (e) 7]. DNR shall coordinate the review of all conversion requests following guidelines and procedures found in the chapter on Conversions.
