It is found and determined that the public interest, convenience, health, safety and welfare
require that five (5) acres of property for each one thousand (1,000) persons residing within the
city be devoted to local park and recreational purposes. The amount of land to be dedicated, or
fees to be paid, shall bear a reasonable relationship to the use of the park and recreation
facilities by the future inhabitants of the subdivision. The amount of land to be dedicated shall
be the amount calculated from the following formula:
LAND = A x B
A. “A” means the park and recreation area required per dwelling unit, based on the type of
dwelling units of the proposed subdivision and the park area per one thousand (1,000)
people of the city.
1. The park area of the city is determined to be five (5.0) acres p er one thousand
(1,000) people, or five-one-thousandths (0.005) acre per person, which is further
broken down to three (3.0) acres per one thousand (1,000) people for active
community parks, three-tenths (0.3) acre per one thousand (1,000) people for
natural community parks, and one and seven-tenths (1.7) acres per one
thousand (1,000) people for neighborhood parks.
2. The park and recreation area required per dwelling unit, A, is established as
follows:
a. Each dwelling unit is assigned two and seven-tenths (2.7) people.
Therefore:
A = 2.7 x .0030 = .0081 acres per unit (for active community parks)
A = 2.7 x .0008 acres per unit (for natural community parks)
A = 2.7 x .0017 = .0046 acres per unit (for neighborhood parks)
A (total) = .0135 acres per unit
2. The park and recreation area required per dwelling unit, A, is established as
follows:
a. Each Single-Family dwelling unit is assigned three and eight-
hundredths (3.08) people.
b. Each Other Multi Family dwelling unit is assigned one and eighty-eight
hundredths (1.88) people.
c. Each Senior Housing dwelling unit is assigned one and twelve
hundredths (1.12) people.

this section, the number of dwelling units in the proposed subdivision shall be
determined as follows: For single-family and townhome subdivisions, In areas zoned for

number of lots or parcels created for residential use as indicated on the final map or
parcel map. When the subdivision is for other multi-family or senior housing, is located in
