21.50.010   Findings and purpose.
   The city council hereby finds that development of residential subdivisions has a significant effect on the use and availability of park and recreation space and facilities, and that the limited open space and recreation amenities provided by these residential developments are insufficient to meet the needs of the residents for open space and recreational facilities. The intent of this chapter is to require that such developments contribute their fair share toward the purchase, development, and/or improvement of park and recreational facilities. The provisions of this chapter are enacted pursuant to the Palo Alto City Charter and the Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan as well as Sections 66477 and 66479 of the Government Code of the State of California, as may be applicable.
