Sec.  72.42  Expansion and new development.

    (a) Expansion. Because the UPARR Program is targeted to distressed 
areas, every assurance should be made that if any expansion takes place, 
existing recreation facilities are up to building standards and the 
following general requirements are met.
    (1) The general category of sites/facilities or programs involved 
must be an identified priority in the jurisdiction's Recovery Action 
Program.
    (2) The results of the expansion must not substantially increase the 
personnel or maintenance costs of the applicant jurisdiction's overall 
recreation system unless expansion of the system has been addressed as a 
priority in the jurisdiction's Recovery Action Program, and the RAP 
strategies specifying how the funds for increased personnel or 
maintenance costs associated with the expansion will be obtained. The 
preapplication narrative must describe the extent of increased personnel 
and maintenance for the project(s) included in the proposal, if any, and 
methods of financing them.
    (3) The expansion must increase the extent, volume, scope, or 
quality of recreation opportunities to residents of distressed 
neighborhoods.
    (b) New development. For purposes of this program, new development 
is defined as the developing for changing of relatively unimproved 
property which has not previously been developed for recreation. This 
includes the creation of new parks and facilities.
    (1) Rehabilitation. New development will not be assisted under a 
rehabilitation grant.
    (2) Innovation. New development may be allowed under an Innovation 
grant when it is directly related to a specific innovative idea or 
technique, increases the utility of a property and/or service program, 
and increases recreation opportunities for users in the target area.
