CHAPTER 64 - SITE DESIGN POLICIES

Printable Version

64.420 SCOPE:

The provisions of this ordinance shall apply to a person who applies, pursuant to this chapter, for a subdivision or resubdivision (where the resubdivision causes an increased demand on parks) of lands that are classified pursuant to this code as being located in a residential zoning district; or, for a subdivision of lands that are classified as being in a nonresidential district at the time of such application, but are intended to be developed following their subdivision in a manner requiring their designation as a residential zoning district.

64.421

Reservation of Future Park Land        

At the discretion of the Common Council, upon recommendation of the Park and Recreation Department, a subdivider may dedicate more land than would be required by the formulas established by this chapter and receive a written credit against future park land dedication requirements.  Where a subdivider or property owner dedicates land against future requirements, the development which is thereby relieved of all or part of its mandatory park land dedication requirement must be in the same quadrant of the City as where the credit lands are dedicated.  The credit shall attach to the relieved land and remain with the relieved land, regardless of change in ownership thereof.  

64.422

Subdivision Changes    

In the event a subdivider deviates from the approved preliminary plat in a final plat, or replats property already platted, thereby increasing the projected population over the earlier population projections, or where the use of property is changed from a non-residential use to a residential use, the owner or subdivider shall be obligated to provide additional land or fee to compensate for the increase in population prior to the City issuing a building or occupancy permit.  

64.423

Final Platting of a Portion of an Approved Preliminary Plat       

Whenever a subdivider applies for approval of a final plat which contains only a portion of the land encompassed in the approved preliminary plat, the subdivider shall be responsible for making a dedication of park land or financial contribution as required, which is proportional to the population expected to reside in the area of the final plat.  The conditions of such allowances shall be in the form and manner prescribed and approved by the Council.  

64.424

Multi-Plat Developments      

At the sole discretion of the Council, the City may enter into an agreement with the applicant for a development containing multiple plats concerning the timing and sequence of park land dedication.  Notwithstanding any provision in this chapter to the contrary, the multiple plat agreement shall determine the time when the required park land dedication for multiple plat developments shall occur.
