(A) A minimum of 20% of the land developed in any planned unit development project shall be reserved for common open space and recreational facilities for the residents or users of the area being developed. The required amount of common open space land reserved under a planned unit development shall either be held in corporate ownership by owners of the project area for the use of each owner who buys property within the development or be dedicated to the county and retained as common open space for parks, recreation, and related uses. All land dedicated to the county must meet the Planning Commission’s requirements as to size, shape and location.
(B) Public utility and similar easements and rights-of-way, for water courses and other similar channels are not acceptable for common open space dedication to the county, unless such land or right-of-way is usable as a trail or other similar purpose and approved by the Planning Commission. The responsibility for the maintenance of all open spaced shall be specified by the developer before approval of the final development plan.
