PARK DEDICATION REQUIREMENTS
Subdivision Ordinance
City Code Chapter 154.07 establishes public land dedication requirements for subdivision
of land. All property subdivisions resulting in the addition of buildable lots are subject to
dedication requirements. The obligation can be fulfilled in the following ways:
1) Physical land dedication
2) Payment of cash in lieu of land
3) A combination of land dedication and cash.
4) Private open space and facilities for public use.
Option - Physical Land Dedication
Physical land dedication would be required as follows:
Property Size 15.66 acres
Number of Residential Units 211
Residential Density 13.47 units\acre
Required Park Dedication 2.44 acres = 15.6% of the gross area
1) All or part of the land has been previously designated as open space, park
land, or trailway in the Comprehensive Plan.
Analysis: The property has not been designated as open space, park land or
railway in the Comprehensive Plan.
2) A need for additional parks or recreational facilities will be generated by the
development.
SITE LOCATION
Analysis: This development is projected to add 211 apartments. Cari Park is
approximately south of the site (700 feet to park entrance, 1,200 feet to
playground). Developer plans to extend the existing trail to allow access to the
park and neighborhood to the south.
3) The land adjoins an existing park or school open space property.
Analysis: The land does not adjoin an existing park or school open space
property.
4) The land could serve as a buffer between commercial\industrial property and
residential.
Analysis: The land abuts commercial property. Building have been positioned to
minimize impact of commercial businesses
5) The land contains or abuts unique topographical features.
Analysis: Most of the property is flat and treeless. The land contains a
stormwater pond in the southeast corner.
Option - Cash in Lieu of Land
Payment of cash in lieu of land is based upon the number and type of residential units to
be constructed. A total cash payment of $232,100 ($1,100 x 211 units) would be required
under this option at the present rate. Payment would be made at the time of final plat.
Option - Private Open Space and Facilities
The Subdivision Ordinance allows for the development of private open space, park, and
recreation facilities to account for up to fifty percent of the park land dedication
requirements provided the land is not occupied by buildings and structures, is open to the
public, deed restricted to ensure public access, provides for natural features, or has a
desirable use and the proposed recreation facility will reduce the demand for public
recreational facilities to serve the development.
The developer has not proposed any private open space or facilities.
RECOMMENDED METHOD OF PARK DEDICATION
Staff recommends payment of cash in lieu of land to satisfy park dedication requirements.
Cash payment under current rates would be $232,100 ($1,100 x 211 units).
