During the preliminary discussion phase, the developer should gain information concerning requirements of the Planning Commission regarding dedication of land, fee in lieu of payments or a combination of both, the basis of the following minimum regulations:
(a) If the developer proposes to dedicate land for parks, recreation and open spaces, such land proposed to be dedicated shall be indicated on the Preliminary Development Plan.
(b) If the developer proposes to pay a fee in lieu of land dedication, such information shall be submitted to the Planning Commission as part of the Preliminary Development Plan.
(c) The Planning Commission shall review the proposal of the developer concerning either dedication of land, payment of a fee in lieu of land dedication, or both. The criteria used to determine whether the developer shall dedicate land, pay a fee in lieu of land dedication, or both, shall be as follows:
(1) The Planning Commission decision shall attempt to facilitate the objectives outlined in the Community Plan.
(2) The Planning Commission shall also consider the advice of various recommendations from members of the Planning Director, Director of Parks and Recreation and the City Manager.
(3) On the basis of the review of a proposal, the Planning Commission shall determine whether a dedication of land, a payment of a fee in lieu of land dedication, or a combination of both shall be required.
(4) If the developer opts to only partially fulfill the requirements of this Chapter through the dedication of park land, open space, and/or recreational amenities, and the Planning Commission approves such action, the minimum fee requirements applicable to such development shall be reduced by a proportionate percentage amount determined by comparing the actual amount of land dedicated as public land to the total land dedication requirement.
