Redwood City Municipal Code Art. VI Dedications and Reservations

A. As a condition of approval of a tentative map or tentative parcel map, the subdivider shall dedicate or make an irrevocable offer of dedication of land within the subdivision, all rights, title, and interests necessary for public use, including, but not limited to, streets, alleys, including access rights and abutter's rights, drainage, public utility easements, and other public easements.

B. The size, dimensions, and other characteristics of dedicated property shall be consistent with all required City standards and policies.

(Ord. No. 2542, § 6(Exh. C), 10-14-24)

A. Acceptance.

1. At the time the City Engineer approves a final map or parcel map, the City shall also accept, accept subject to improvement, or reject any offer of dedication. The City Clerk shall certify or state on the map the City's action.

2. The City Engineer may accept dedications and improvements for minor subdivisions and off-site dedications lying outside a subdivision boundary that require a separate grant deed.

3. Acceptance of offers of dedication shall become effective on the date an approved final map or parcel map or resolution of acceptance by the City is filed with the County Recorder.

B. Rejection: If the City Engineer rejects any offers of dedication, the offer of dedication shall remain open and valid. The City Council may, by resolution at any later date and without further action by the subdivider, rescind the initial action rejecting an offer of dedication and accept and open the offered dedication for public use. Such later acceptance resolution shall be recorded with the County Recorder.

C. Termination: The City Council may by resolution terminate and abandon offers of dedications in the same manner as prescribed for the summary vacation of streets by Part 3 (commencing with Section 8300) of Division 9 of the Streets and Highways Code.
