Division 2 — REQUIREMENTS AND STANDARDS

Danville Zoning Code · 2026-07 edition · updated 2026-07-09 · Danville

32-83.4 Formula for Dedication of Land.

The amount of land to be dedicated, or the fees to be paid, shall bear a reasonable relationship to the use of the park and recreation facilities by the future inhabitants of the development.

The amount of land dedicated or fees paid is based upon the number of units to be constructed, determined by the tentative map or building permits in projects without maps, and the household size.

The dedication of land, or the payment of fees, or both, shall be the proportionate amount necessary to provide five (5) acres of park area per one thousand (1,000) persons.

No fee or land dedication is required on a parcel for which dedication requirements have previously been met. (Ord. #6985, § 86210)

32-83.5—32-83.10 Reserved.

32-83.11 Standard and Formula for Dedication of Land.

The amount of land to be dedicated shall be determined according to the following standards and formula:

a. The average number of persons occupying the type(s) of units to be constructed is multiplied by the park acreage standard, five (5) acres per one thousand (1,000) (.005); the product shall equal the minimum park acreage dedication for each unit of that type to be constructed.

Average number of persons/unit x .005 = minimum acreage dedication/unit.
