(`64 Code, Sec. 27-73) (Ord. No. 1570)

(A) If a public use is shown on an adopted specific plan or the city's general plan containing a community facilities element, recreation and parks element or a public building element, the subdivider may be required to reserve sites as so determined by the city in accordance with the definite principles and standards contained in the adopted specific plan or general plan. The reserved area shall be of the size and shape to permit the balance of the property within which the reservation is located to develop in an orderly and efficient manner.
