As a condition of approval of a tentative map or parcel map, rezoning, issuance of a building permit, or other discretionary action granting approval for the development of one or more dwelling units, the subdivider shall dedicate land as set forth in Government Code Section 66477(a), for neighborhood or community parks or recreational purposes at the time and according to the standards and formulas contained in this chapter.
(Ord. 3216 § 1, 1995; Ord. 2018-014 § 1)
It is found and determined that the public interest, convenience, health, welfare, and safety require that six acres of property for each 1,000 persons residing within this City be devoted to local park and recreational purposes. Such requirements will be supported by a combination of: (1) park land and park development dedications pursuant to this article; (2) usable open space, accepted in accordance with Section 19-70.200; and (3) publicly accessible recreational land at schools and through public-private partnerships. The acreage of each park type per 1,000 residents shall be determined by the City Council by resolution. The adopted park land dedication standard shall reflect the ratio of park land to residents, as set forth in California Government Code Section 66477.
(Ord. 3216 § 1, 1995; Ord. 3591 § 1, 2002; Ord. 2018-014 § 1; Ord. 2025-014, 11/18/2025)
Where a park or recreation facility has been designated in the general plan of the City, and is to be located in whole or in part within the proposed subdivision for the purpose of serving the immediate and future needs of the residents of the subdivision, the developer shall dedicate land for a local park sufficient in size and topography that bears a reasonable relationship to serve the present and future needs of the residents of the subdivision. The amount of land to be provided shall be determined pursuant to the following formula:
The formula for determining acreage to be dedicated shall be as follows:
Average No. of Persons/Unit
x
Park acreage dedication standard
=
minimum acreage dedication
1,000 people
Example for single-family attached dwelling unit (DU):
2.75 x 3.5
=
.00963 acres/DU
1,000
(Ord. 3216 § 1, 1995; Ord. 2018-014 § 1; Ord. 2025-014, 11/18/2025)
The developer shall pay the park impact fee adopted pursuant to Section 19-70.090 and receive a credit against the amount of the fee for the value of the land dedication. The amount of the credit shall not exceed the portion of the park impact fee associated with park land acquisition costs based on: (1) the total park impact fee calculated for the development project based on the current fee schedule adopted pursuant Section 19-70.090; multiplied by (2) the percentage of the total park impact fee associated with park land acquisition costs as determined by the City Council by resolution. The credit shall not exceed the appraised value of the park land dedicated by the developer.
