A. Except as otherwise provided in this Subchapter, all new residential developments of more than one (1) unit, and addition of one (1) or more units to an existing residential development, shall be subject to the park dedication requirement, or payment of fees in lieu thereof, or both, established by this Subchapter.
B. The amount of land to be dedicated for neighborhood and community park or recreational facilities or fees to be paid in lieu thereof shall be based on the residential density of the proposed development, which shall be determined on the basis of the number of residential dwelling units to be constructed and the density factor, as set forth in Subsection C., so as to provide three (3) acres of park area for one thousand (1,000) residents.
C. As used herein, the term “density factor” means the average number of persons per household for the type of dwelling unit proposed to be constructed, based on the most recent available federal census, or census taken pursuant to Cal. Gov't Code §§ 40200 et seq., according to the following:
1. Single-family detached dwelling unit: Two and seventy-five hundredths (2.75) persons per dwelling unit:
2. Single-family attached dwelling unit: Two and forty-four hundredths (2.44) persons per dwelling unit:
3. Multi-family residential developed with four (4) or fewer units: Two and thirty-one hundredths (2.31) persons per dwelling unit; and
4. Multi-family residential developed with more than four (4) units: Two (2.00) persons per dwelling unit.
5. Mobile homes: One and seventy-eight hundredths, (1.78) persons per dwelling unit.
D. When a fee is to be paid in lieu of or in addition to parkland dedication, the amount of such fee shall be the fair market value, as determined in § 15.10.765 C., per acre of the land within the proposed residential development multiplied by the number of acres required to be dedicated pursuant to this Section, except that the amount of the fee shall be calculated as provided in § 15.06.315 when the construction consists solely of adding a second residential unit to a property containing one (1) single family dwelling.
E. The park dedication or payment of fees in lieu thereof, or both, shall be completed prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or a temporary Certificate of Occupancy for such development.
