3.28.160 - Distribution of fees not committed.

All land dedicated and fees paid shall be held by the city only for the purposes described in Section 3.28.130 of this chapter. Fees collected under this chapter from subdivision projects shall be committed within five years after the payment of such fees or the issuance of building permits on one-half of the lots created by the subdivision, whichever occurs later.

If circumstances arise during the time between dedication of land for park purposes and commencement of first-stage development which indicate that another site would be more suitable for local park, trail or recreational purposes (such as receipt of a gift of additional park land or a change in school location), the land may be sold upon the approval of the City Council with the resultant funds being used for the purchase of a more suitable site. (Ord. 05-06 § 2 Exh. A (part))
