The city may require as a condition of approval of any subdivision the waiver of direct access rights to proposed or existing streets from any property within or abutting the subdivision.

(Code 1969, § 18.12.020; Ord. No. 559, § 1(part), 1986)

As a condition of approval of a tentative map, the subdivider shall reserve sites, appropriate in area and location, for parks, recreational facilities, fire stations, libraries, or other public uses according to the standards and formula contained in this section.

(Code 1969, § 18.12.030; Ord. No. 559, § 1(part), 1986)

Where a park, recreational facility, fire station, library, or other public use is shown on an adopted specific plan or adopted general plan, the subdivider may be required by the city to reserve sites as so determined by the city in accordance with the definite principles and standards contained in the specific plan or general plan. The reserved area must be of such size and shape as to permit the balance of the property within which the reservation is located to develop in an orderly and efficient manner. The amount of land to be reserved shall not make development of the remaining land held by the subdivider economically unfeasible. The reserved area shall conform to the adopted specific plan or general plan and shall be in such multiples of streets and parcels as to permit an efficient division of the reserved area in the event that it is not acquired within the prescribed period.

(Code 1969, § 18.12.031; Ord. No. 559, § 1(part), 1986)

The public agency for whose benefit an area has been reserved shall, at the time of approval of the final map or parcel map, enter into a binding agreement to acquire such reserved area within two years after the completion and acceptance of all improvements, unless the period of time is extended by mutual agreement.

(Code 1969, § 18.12.032; Ord. No. 559, § 1(part), 1986)

The purchase price shall be the market value thereof at the time of the filing of the tentative map plus the taxes against the reserved area from the date of the reservation and any other costs incurred by the subdivider in the maintenance of the reserved area, including interest costs incurred on any loan covering the reserved area.

(Code 1969, § 18.12.033; Ord. No. 559, § 1(part), 1986)

If the public agency for whose benefit an area has been reserved does not enter into a binding agreement, the reservation of the area shall automatically terminate.
