16.35.040 Standards for determining dedication/maximum requirement.
   (A)   General. If park dedication is required under Section 16.35.030, the park area required shall be determined in accordance with the standards provided in this section.
   (B)   Standard set by resolution in amount not to exceed formula of park area to population. The amount of park area required to be dedicated by a subdivider shall be the proportionate amount necessary to provide 3.0 acres of park area per 1,000 persons (the "maximum park area standard"). The city council finds that the park standard is authorized by Government Code, Section 66477 and is required by the public interest, convenience, health, welfare, and safety require.
   (C)   Dwelling unit occupancy factor. Using the latest available census data, the City Council shall, by resolution, determine the average number of persons per dwelling unit type.
   (D)   Computation of maximum area of park that may be required to be dedicated. The maximum amount of park land the city may require for any subdivision shall be determined by multiplying the number of dwelling units in the subdivision for each housing type by the occupancy factor for each housing type by .003 (i.e., the ratio of the maximum park area standard of three acres per one thousand population). This is represented as follows:
         (# of dwelling units) x (occupancy factor) x (.003) = Park Area to be dedicated
   (E)   Qualification of land being dedicated. In addition to meeting the requirements set forth in this section, any land offered for park dedication shall meet the criteria specified in § 16.35.060(D).
