Rancho Cucamonga Municipal Code Art. II Reservations

As a condition of approval of a map, the subdivider shall reserve sites, appropriate in area and location, for parks, recreational facilities, fire stations, libraries or other public uses according to the standards and formula contained in this article.

(Code 1980, § 16.28.080; Ord. No. 28-B, § 1.604.1, 1981)

Where a park, recreational facility, fire station, library or other public use is shown on an adopted specific plan or adopted general plan containing a community facilities element, recreation and parks element and/or a public building element, the subdivider may be required by the city to reserve sites as so determined by the city or county in accordance with the definite principles and standards contained in the above specific plan or general plan. The reserved area must be of such size and shape as to permit the balance of the property within which the reservation is located to develop in an orderly and efficient manner. The amount of land to be reserved shall not make development of the remaining land held by the subdivider economically unfeasible. The reserved area shall conform to the adopted specific plan or general plan and shall be in such multiples of streets and parcels as to permit an efficient division of the reserved area in the event that it is not acquired within the prescribed period.

(Code 1980, § 16.28.090; Ord. No. 28-B, § 1.604.2, 1981)

The public agency for whose benefit an area has been reserved shall, at the time of approval of the final map or parcel map, enter into a binding agreement to acquire such reserved area within two years after the completion and acceptance of all improvements, unless such period of time is extended by mutual agreement.

(Code 1980, § 16.28.100; Ord. No. 28-B, § 1.604.3, 1981)

The purchase price shall be the market value thereof at the time of the filing of the tentative map plus the taxes against such reserved area from the date of the reservation and any other costs incurred by the subdivider in the maintenance of such reserved area, including interest costs incurred on any loan covering such reserved area.

(Code 1980, § 16.28.110; Ord. No. 28-B, § 1.604.4, 1981)

If the public agency for whose benefit an area has been reserved does not enter into such a binding agreement, the reservation of such area shall automatically terminate.

(Code 1980, § 16.28.120; Ord. No. 28-B, § 1.604.5, 1981)

A. The city may require as a condition of approval of any subdivision the waiver of direct access rights to proposed or existing streets from any property within the subdivision and abutting thereon.

B. Any such waiver shall become effective in accordance with its provisions and shall be contained in the owner's certificate of the final map or parcel map.

(Code 1980, § 16.28.130; Ord. No. 28-B, § 1.605, 1981)

If the planning commission requires the subdivider to dedicate roadways to the public, and if the subdivision contains 200 or more lots, the advisory agency may also require the subdivider to dedicate such additional land as may be necessary and feasible to provide bicycle paths for the use and safety of the residents of the subdivision.

(Code 1980, § 16.28.140; Ord. No. 28-B, § 1.606, 1981)

If the planning commission requires the subdivider to dedicate roadways to the public, and if the subdivision is situated in a zone in which horses may be kept, the advisory agency may also require the subdivider to dedicate such additional land as may be necessary and feasible to provide equestrian access from the lots in the subdivision to any existing or master planned equestrian trails.

The planning commission may require dedications or irrevocable offers of dedication of land within the subdivision for local transit facilities, such as bus turnouts, benches, shelters, landing pads and similar items which directly benefit the residents of the subdivision, if:

A. The subdivision as shown on the tentative tract map has the potential for 200 dwelling units or more if developed to the maximum capacity shown on the adopted general plan or contains one hundred acres or more; and

B. The city council has previously found that transit services are, or will within a reasonable time be available to such subdivision.
