PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting: October 28, 2013
ISSUE
On an annual basis the Parks and Recreation Commission reviews the Parks and Recreation related
portion of the City's Fees and Fee Policy. Staff typically makes recommendations as to whether the fees
and fee policy should be changed and also provides data to support the recommended changes. Fees are
often set based on trying to offset some of the operating costs and also staying current with other similar
facilities in the market.
At this time, staff is not recommending any changes to the fees and fee policies. At our regular meeting in
November, staff will bring forward recommendations regarding the fees and fee policies for 2014 along
with a price comparison of other similar facilities. If there are comparisons that you would like to see,
please let staff know at Monday's meeting and we will gather the necessary information. Staff has included
a copy of the Parks and Recreation Department's portion of the 2013 Fees and Fee Policy for the
Commission's review.

IV. PARK DEDICATION FEES
A. Park Dedication Fees
Park dedication fees are outlined in City Subdivision Ordinance and City Ordinance No.
XVII.103
and .107 which states:
In all new residential subdivisions, the City shall require that a sufficient portion of such land
be set aside and dedicated to the public for parks, playgrounds or other public use exclusive
of property dedicated for streets and other public ways. It shall be presumed that a sufficient
amount of land has been dedicated for parks and playgrounds for the present and future
residents of the subdivision, if the subdivider dedicates at least 1/25 of an acre per dwelling
unit that can be constructed in the subdivision. The City upon consideration of the particular
type of development proposed in the subdivision may require larger or lesser amounts of land
be dedicated if the City determines that the present and future residents of the subdivision
would require greater or lesser amounts of land for such purposes. The City shall determine
whether cash in lieu of land dedication is more appropriate. The amount of cash dedication
shall be determined by multiplying the number of acres otherwise required to be dedicated by
the average value of comparable undeveloped land set by resolution by the City Council.
In all new commercial and industrial subdivisions, it shall be presumed that a sufficient
amount of land has been dedicated to serve the needs of the resident and working population
if the sub divider dedicates at least ten percent (10 %) of the land in the subdivision for parks,
recreation and usable open space. The City upon consideration of the particular type of
development proposed in the subdivision may require larger or lesser amounts of land to be
dedicated if it determines that the present and future residents of the subdivision would
require greater or lesser amounts of land for such purposes. The City shall determine
whether cash in lieu of land dedication is appropriate. The amount of cash dedication shall
be determined by multiplying the number of acres otherwise required to be dedicated by the
average value of comparable undeveloped land set by resolution of the City Council.
Land Values for the dedication of land and /or cash contribution:
New residential subdivision $85,000 /acre
Commercial subdivision
Industrial subdivision
$90,000 /acre
$50,000 /acre
Business Park development $85,000 /acre
