As a condition of tentative map approval, the subdivider shall
reserve sites, appropriate in area and location, for parks, recreational
facilities, fire stations, libraries or other public uses according
to the standards and formula contained in this code.
(Prior code § 23.39; Ord. 2284 § 2, 1983; Ord.
3396 § 1, 1998)
Where a park, recreational facility, fire station, library,
or other public use is shown on an adopted specific plan or adopted
general plan containing a community facilities element, recreation
and parks element and/or a public building element, the subdivider
may be required as a condition of tentative map approval to reserve
sites as so determined by the City in accordance with the definite
principles and standards contained in the adopted specific plan or
general plan. The reserved area must be of such size and shape as
to permit the balance of the property within which the reservation
is located to develop in an orderly and efficient manner. The amount
of land to be reserved shall not make development of the remaining
land held by the subdivider economically unfeasible. The reserved
area shall conform to the adopted specific plan or general plan and
shall be in such multiples of streets and parcels as to permit an
efficient division of the reserved area in the event that it is not
acquired within the prescribed period.
(Prior code § 23.39(a); Ord. 2284 § 2, 1983; Ord.
3396 § 1, 1998)
The public agency for whose benefit an area has been reserved
shall, at the time of approval of the final map or parcel map, enter
into a binding agreement to acquire such reserved area within two
years after the completion and acceptance of all improvements, unless
such period of time is extended by mutual agreement.
(Prior code § 23.39(b); Ord. 2284 § 2, 1983; Ord.
3396 § 1, 1998)
The purchase price shall be the market value thereof at the
time of the filing of the tentative map plus the taxes against such
reserved area from the date of the reservation and any other costs
incurred by the subdivider in the maintenance of such reserved area,
including interest costs incurred on any loan covering such reserved
area.
(Prior code § 23.39(c); Ord. 2284 § 2, 1983; Ord.
3396 § 1, 1998)
If the public agency for whose benefit an area has been reserved
does not enter into such a binding agreement, the reservation of such
area shall automatically terminate.
(Prior code § 23.39(d); Ord. 2284 § 2, 1983; Ord.
3396 § 1, 1998)
