Case PARK DEDICATION ORDINANCE BY: MERLAI~D oTTO Background: The City Council held joint workshop meetings with the Planning and Zoning and Parks Commissions on February 22, 1989 and on May 11, 1989. The purpose of the meetings was to develop a new parks dedication ordinance which could be introduced. At the May llth meeting, the Commissions expressed that the City Council should make the remaining decisions on the draft ordinance. We have again revised the draft ordinance on the basis of the comments that were expressed at the May llth meeting. Deletions are indicated by strikeout and additions are underlined. Observations: It appears that the key items of discussion remaining prior to introduction of an ordinance are: 170.062 170. 064 170.066 If 4 in 40 zoning is adooted, should those landowners be reon/ired to ded~cat~ 7~of land or should it be further reduced to 5%~~ Note only - PUP's are exempt under current~ ordinances from park dedication requirements as lon~ as a inim of 20o of !and is available open space or recreational use. ~ If desired, Councl-i-l- should address this in City Coae Section 170.016K..~ Cash payment currently reflects a reduction to 5% for rural residential development on lots greater than 5 acres in size. This needs to be made consistent with decision on Section 170.062. The amount of the cash contribution per dwelling unit. Again, this should be consistent with decision on Section 170.062. The consensus appeared to be a flat fee per dwelling unit for all types of housing. The current ordinance provides for $500.00 per unit and this appears to have acceptance. Cash payment would no~ma!ly be based on the dwelling unit basis (assuming $500.00/d.u. except when the value of land exceeded $2000.00 per acre at rural densities of 2.5A/unit and when the value of land e>:ceeded $!7,000 per acre at urban densities of 3.4 units acre. Only then would 10% of the fair market value need to be considered.
