It is found and determined in accordance with subdivision (a), paragraph (2) of the Quimby Act, the general plan, and the Mitigation Fee Act Nexus Report and Quimby Act In-Lieu Fee Report ("report") prepared by Municipal Resource Group, dated August 14, 2012, including Chapter 5, as adopted by the city council, that the amount of existing neighborhood and community park land within the city as calculated pursuant to subdivision (a), paragraph (2) of the Quimby Act equals or exceeds five acres of park land for each one thousand persons residing within the city. It is also found and determined in accordance with the general plan that the public interest, convenience, health, safety and welfare require maintaining a park standard of five acres per one thousand residents. It is further found and determined in accordance with the report that based on the city’s existing park land inventory, a park land dedication standard of 3.4 acres per one thousand residents will maintain a park land standard of five acres per one thousand residents through general plan build out; and that therefore the public interest, convenience, health, safety and welfare require that 3.4 acres of park land for each one thousand persons residing in a subdivision within the city subject to this chapter be dedicated for local park and recreation purposes within city jurisdiction, or that equivalent fees be paid or a combination of both. In accordance with subdivision (a), paragraph (5) of the Quimby Act, it is found and determined that the amount of land to be dedicated, or fees to be paid, bear a reasonable relationship to the use of the park and recreational facilities by the future inhabitants of the subdivision. In accordance with subdivision (a), paragraph (2) of the Quimby Act, the amount of land to be dedicated shall be calculated according to 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 city residents.

1. The park area of the city is determined to be 5.1 acres per one thousand residents, or 0.0051 acres per resident. The park area required to be dedicated to maintain a park land standard of five acres per one thousand residents through general plan build out is 3.4 acres per one thousand residents or 0.0034 acres per resident.

2. The park and recreation area required per dwelling unit is established as follows:

a. Single-Family Unit. For dwelling units to be constructed on property zoned for single-family development, or for projects approved for such development, each unit is assigned 2.915 residents.

Therefore, A = 2.915 x 0.0034 = 0.0099 acres required per unit.

b. Multifamily Unit. For dwelling units to be constructed on property zoned for multiple-family development, or for projects approved for such development, each unit is assigned 1.963 residents.

Therefore, A = 1.963 x 0.0034 = 0.0067 acres required per unit.

c. Accessory Dwelling Unit. For accessory dwelling units to be constructed on property where such units are permitted, or for projects approved for such development, each unit is assigned 1.0 resident.

Therefore, A = 1.0 x 0.0034 = 0.0034 acres required per unit.

B. "B" means the number of dwelling units in the proposed subdivision. For the purpose of this section, the number of dwelling units in the proposed subdivision shall be determined as follows: In areas zoned for one dwelling unit per lot or parcel, the number of dwelling units shall equal the number of parcels indicated on the final map. When the subdivision is located in an area zoned for multiple dwelling units per parcel, the number of dwelling units shall equal the maximum number of dwelling units allowed under that zone. For residential condominium projects, the number of dwelling units shall equal the number of condominium units indicated on the final map. For planned development projects, the number of dwelling units shall equal the number of dwelling units indicated on the approved planned development plan.
