the parks development facilities fee, identify the specific public
improvements to be financed thereby, describe the estimated costs
of the facilities, describe the reasonable relationship between the
fee and the various types of new development, and describe the relationship

The city may, in its sole discretion, accept from an applicant for
a building permit an offer to dedicate land for use as a city park
in lieu of all or any portion of a parks facilities development fee,
when the land is substantially equal in value, as determined by the
city, to the fee or portion of the fee imposed upon said applicant.
