Sec. 8-2-1. - General provisions.¶
The portions of the City directly involved in this phased dedication program have been divided into separately lettered "districts" containing both open space lands for ultimate conveyance to the City and corresponding development areas, as shown on Figure 8-2A. The open space lands and development areas of a district are, in some cases, not contiguous. The landowner shall convey the open space lands consisting of preservation areas (including minor preservation areas) and spines as depicted on Figure 8-2A by the letter references "P" and "S" respectively (collectively referred to in this division as "conveyance areas") within a district to the City or other appropriate public agency as reasonably approved by the City so that they may be preserved as open space in return for the completion of development on other land in the same district (referred to in this division as "development areas"), as more particularly as shown on Figures 8-2A and 8-2B, consistent with the procedures set forth in this division. The City shall undertake such actions as are necessary to secure for the landowner the right to develop development areas in the manner set forth herein, and pursuant to a mutually agreeable development schedule. Upon request of the landowner the City shall enter into development agreements, or approve vesting maps, for these purposes.
