Non-Residential Land vs.Cash Amount In addition to the above analysis, one other area in the ordinance that warrants adjustment at this time is the city’s current cash vs land dedication amount for non-residential areas. The Parks and Recreation Commission annually reviews a rate analysis and makes a recommendation on the following years rates (see enclosed 2020 rate analysis). The fee amount is reviewed and set annually by City Council resolution. The land amount is set periodically by ordinance. The cash amount for non–residential is currently 10% of the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the total land value. The land amount has lagged behind and is currently at 5% of the total land. At this point, they are inconsistent and the land amount should be considered for reconciliation to 10%, which is equal to the cash. Utility Dedications Not Qualified Another item that seems to come up more often now is a development seeking compensation through park dedication for sidewalks and pathways. Most times sidewalks and pathways are required as part of a public improvement contract and there is no need to utilize park dedication resources to include these as part of the development. We are suggesting that required pathways should not be considered to satisfy the park dedication requirement (see adjusted language in red on draft potential ordinance). If they are not required and they make sense for a recreational amenity and/or special connection, then the city can consider those as separate cases. Also included in your packet for overall general reference is the: Parks and Recreation System Master Plan: Goals and Policies Roseville 2040 Comprehensive Plan: Parks, Recreation, Trails and Open Space Goals Requested Commission Action: Discuss, provide feedback and consider a recommendation to pursue the adjustments as discussed. 6.
