Sec. 8-3-1. - Additional open space requirements.

A. No additional open space dedication exactions may be imposed on a landowner for any land within the City or its sphere of influence (excluding unincorporated lands presently designated as agriculture in the Irvine General Plan in Planning Areas 5, 6, 8 and 9, which are not a part of this program) except as ordinarily required on a project basis for compliance with provisions of the City's subdivision ordinance (for example, Subdivision Map Act requirements, planning area (village) edges and building setbacks).

B. However, if, for reasons other than those governed by the paragraph above, the landowner may request intensification of the land uses beyond the land use intensities set forth in Figure 8-2B, the City reserves the right to require additional open space dedication exactions.
