Condition to Approval: Park dedication will be required as a condition to the approval of any subdivision of land resulting in a net increase of development sites comprising more than one acre of land. The Parks and Recreation Commission shall recommend, in accordance with Statute and after consulting the approved plans and policies noted herein, either a portion of land to be dedicated to the public for park purposes, or in lieu thereof, a cash deposit given to the City to be used for park purposes, or a combination of land and cash deposit. If a tract of land to be divided encompasses all or part of a site designated as a planned park, recreational facility, playground, trail, wetland, or open space dedicated for public use in the Comprehensive Plan, Pathways Master Plan, Parks and Recreation System Master Plan, or other relevant City plan, the commission may recommend the applicant to dedicate land in the locations and dimensions indicated on said plan or map to fulfil all or part of the park dedication requirement. Park Dedication Fees: The land portion to be dedicated in all residentially zoned areas shall be 10% and 5% in all other areas. Park dedication fees shall be reviewed and determined annually by City Council resolution and established in the fee schedule in Chapter 314 of this Code. Utility Dedications Not Qualified: Land dedicated for required street right-of-way or utilities, including drainage, does not qualify as park dedication. Payment in lieu of dedication: In all zones in the city where park dedication of land is deemed inappropriate by the City, the owner and the City shall agree to have the owner deposit a the required sum of money at the time of the subdivision to satisfy the Park Dedication requirement in lieu of a dedication of land as part of the Development Agreement required in Section 1102.07 of this Title. Overall, the Parks and Recreaton Commission supports trail and pathway development and maintenance as a separate and distinct area. The Parks and Recreation Commission definitely wants to be further involved in and make recommendations to any further renditions. 2
