The land dedication <br />requirement enables the City to acquire land for park, trail, and open space purposes. The park <br />development fee allows the City to collect fees for park development and capital improvements. <br /> <br />At its discretion, the City may require subdividers or developers to satisfy the land dedication <br />requirement or the park development fee or both. In redevelopment or reuse scenarios, the City <br />may consider whether adequate land was conveyed or dedicated to the City at the time of <br />previous development to meet the park and open space needs. If the City determ ines that <br />adequate land was previously dedicated, the City could waive the land dedication requirement, <br />but apply the park development fee to support capital improvements to the parks, trails, and open <br />space system. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM – 1A <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br />
