(a) The first priority of the open space requirement is to provide for a community wide network of parks, open spaces, greenways, or other recreational areas. As such, all open space required by this chapter shall first be offered to the City for potential public land dedication.
(b) Such offer for public land dedication shall be made during the applicable review procedure and the Planning Commission or Zoning Administrator with authority to make a decision during the applicable review procedure shall also have the authority to decide whether to recommend that the land should be considered by City Council for public dedication.
(c) The City shall consider any recommendation from Planning Commission or Zoning Administrator regarding the proposed land and shall make a decision on whether to accept any land offered for dedication. City Council shall not be required to accept any land offered for dedication.
(d) Where the City chooses not to accept the open space for public dedication, the developer shall retain the open space as private open space, protected in perpetuity in accordance with Section 1121.05.
