The vote on the original motion was as follows: <br /> <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers Dennis, Michelotti, Mohr, and Pico <br />NOES: Mayor Tarver <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />Item 6b <br />Review of Criteria Used to Establish In-Lieu Park Dedication Fee. (SR96:259) <br /> <br /> Dolores Bengtson presented the staff report. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver asked if the City currently maintained the standard of five acres of park per <br />thousand people and will the current park dedication fund be able to sustain that level of <br />development? <br /> <br /> Ms. Bengtson the standard was currently maintained but it will be difficult to maintain <br />the five acres of active parkland, depending on how the park acres are viewed. Staff expects <br />active use park, community and neighborhood, to establish the five acre standard. Overall we <br />will probably be in nice shape because of the amount of open space. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarver asked if the standard would be difficult to maintain because land becomes <br />more valuable as it is developed and becomes more scarce. <br /> <br /> Ms. Bengtson felt that was part of it. The City is asking for five acres of land per <br />thousand people and when you look at the standards and the fact there is other land being <br />developed as special use parks or open space parks, staff has to be careful that it is getting land <br />appropriate for active use parkland. If the standards are maintained and the City continues to <br />ask for land at the same ratio in the past, the five acre standard can be maintained. However, <br />the City cannot realistically develop six or seven parks. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti felt the standard could be maintained because developers are asked to <br />develop five acre parks as amenities to their projects and there are examples of this. <br /> <br /> Ms. Bengtson agreed. Part of the planning process is the size of community parks the <br />City is able to get. Carefully planning is necessary to obtain the acreage needed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis referred to the six land sales mentioned for the study and asked if they were <br />within the urban growth boundary. She felt that would be more consistent with the statement <br />that the land is suitable for residential development. <br /> <br /> 09/17/96 <br /> -7- <br /> <br /> <br />
