(A) The formula for determining the minimum acreage to be dedicated is based on a standard of three acres of park area per one thousand members of the population, and shall be as follows:
Average number of persons per unit/1,000 population x 3 acres of parkland x number of units in subdivision/development = land to be dedicated per unit.
Development Type | Population Per Dwelling Unit |
Residential - Single Family | 3.85 |
Residential - Multi-family | 3.50 |
Residential - Mobile Home | 1.70 |
Example: for a subdivision of 120 units: 3.85/1,000 x 3 = 0.01155 x 120 = 1.386 acres to be dedicated (at a minimum).
(B) For the purpose of this section, the number of new dwelling units shall be based upon the number of parcels indicated on the tentative or parcel map when in an area zoned for one dwelling unit per parcel. When all or part of the subdivision is located in an area zoned for more than one dwelling unit per parcel, the number of proposed dwelling units in the area so zoned shall equal the maximum allowed under that zone, including any applicable density increases. In the case of a condominium project, the number of dwelling units shall be the number of condominium units. The term “new dwelling unit” does not include dwelling units lawfully in place prior to the date on which the parcel or final map is filed.
(C) Nothing in this section shall prohibit the dedication and acceptance of land for park and recreation purposes where the developer proposes such dedication voluntarily and the land is approved by the Community Development Director.
(D) Dedication of the land shall be made in accordance with the procedures contained in § 10-2.1311 hereof.
