Requirements. Pursuant to Division 2 of this title and as a
condition of approval of a final subdivision or a final parcel map
for a residential subdivision, a subdivider must dedicate land for

recreational purposes.
(Ord. 565 § 3, 2019)

thereon. Such private street, alley, or way must not be offered for
dedication and must be shown on the final subdivision or parcel map
as parcels lettered alphabetically. All private streets, alleys, or
ways must be designed, developed, and improved to the standards of
the City and to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
