A. In order to implement the parks and recreation element of the general plan and provide a reasonable amount of space for outdoor public recreation use, each new subdivision shall dedicate land equivalent to five acres for each one thousand residents expected to reside within the subdivision, except as provided in Sections 16.22.060, 16.22.070 and 16.22.100. In some subdivisions additional parkland dedication may be required as a discretionary action if a nexus between the subdivision and the need for additional parkland is justified. In no case shall the requirement exceed ten acres per one thousand residents.

B. The land to be dedicated shall be of sufficient size and suitable topography to meet the local park needs of the immediate and future residents of the subdivision. The expected population of the subdivision shall be determined by the city using the most recent census results for the type and size of dwellings proposed for the subdivision. (Ord. 1729 § 4 (Exh. A), 2023)
