The following table of population density is generally indicative of current and short range projected trends in family size for new construction and shall be used in calculating the required land dedication in acres of land or the cash contribution in lieu thereof, unless a written objection is filed thereto by the subdivider or developer as provided in division (B) of this section:
(A) Objections to density formula. In the event a subdivider or developer files a written objection to the Table of Estimated Population Per Dwelling Unit established in this section and submits, at its own expense, other demographic studies or information showing the estimated additional population to be generated from the subdivision or PUD, a final determination of the density formula to be used in such calculations shall be made by the City Council based upon such demographic information submitted by the subdivider or developer to the city, or upon such information as may otherwise be available to the City Council. It is recognized that population density, age distribution and local conditions change over the years, and the specific formula for the dedication of land, or the payment of a cash contribution in lieu thereof, as stated herein, is subject to periodic review and amendment if necessary.
(B) Presumed density formula. In the event the relevant data on file with the city, including any ordinances granting approval of a subdivision or PUD, establishes a density level other than the density established in the Table of Estimated Population Per Dwelling Unit established in this section, then such density shall be used to determine a cash contribution in lieu of land dedication; provided that the subdivider or developer shall be limited to the final density level established by the City Council for its actual construction of the subdivision or PUD.
