E. Partial Credit: Where private open space for park and recreation purposes is provided in a proposed subdivision, such areas may be used for partial credit, at the discretion of the city council, against the land or cash dedication requirement for park and recreation purposes, provided the city council finds it is in the public interest to do so.
F. Change Of Requirements: The city, upon consideration of a particular type of development, may require larger or smaller parcels of land than provided in section 11-4-5 of this chapter to be conveyed to the city if the city determines that present or future residents would require greater or lesser land for park and playground purposes.
