(A) The Planning and Zoning Commission shall require that land be reserved for parks and playgrounds or other recreation purposes in locations designated on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, or otherwise where such reservations would be appropriate. Such a reservation shall be of suitable size, dimensions, topography and general character and shall have adequate road access for the particular purposes envisioned by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The area shall be shown and marked on the plat, “Reserved for Park or Recreation Purposes.”
(B) (1) Size of reservation. When recreation areas are required, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall determine the number of acres to be reserved from the following table, which has been prepared on the basis of providing three acres of recreation area for every 100 dwelling units.

The developer shall dedicate all such recreation areas to the city as a condition of final subdivision plat approval.
