The ordinance sections codified in this Article are enacted pursuant to the authority granted by California Government Code Sections 66477 et seq. (also known as the Quimby Act), which authorizes a county to require the dedication of land for park or recreation facilities at a rate of three acres per one thousand residents, or payment of fees in-lieu thereof (or a combination of both), incident to and as a condition of approval for a tentative map or parcel map. The purpose of the dedication of land and/or payment of the in-lieu fee is to ensure that each new residential unit within a Subdivision in the unincorporated County bears the burden of its individual, incremental share of additional park and recreation facilities needed to accommodate the new development.
