§ 16.20

A.

All streets, highways and alleys, and other parcels of land intended for public use including, but not limited to, access road easements required for flood control and utilities intended for public use, shall be offered for dedication to the public by owners certificate as a part of a final map or parcel map. No utility easement or other rights-of-way shall be granted within proposed street dedications subsequent to the date of filing of a preliminary tentative map. Necessary right-of-way outside of the subdivision boundary must be processed by separate instruments.

B.

Whenever a secondary highway or higher classification is designated on the circulation element of the comprehensive general plan of Riverside County as requiring an ultimate right-of-way of eighty-eight (88) feet or greater and such highway either adjoins or crosses a proposed land division, access rights may be offered for dedication to the county or otherwise restricted. The note "Access Restricted" shall be shown along the highway frontages on the final map or parcel map, as provided herein. Access rights shall be restricted except for limited access openings as approved by the director of transportation. However, access control to commercially zoned property may be postponed to the development stage as approved by the director of transportation.

C.

Whenever a subdivider is required to dedicate roadways to the public, he or she may also be required 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, if the subdivision, as shown on the final map or parcel map thereof, contains two hundred (200) or more parcels.

D.

The subdivider shall offer a dedication or an irrevocable offer 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 a subdivision if: (a) the subdivision as shown on the tentative map has the potential for two hundred (200) dwelling units or more if developed to the maximum density shown on the adopted general plan or contains one hundred (100) acres or more; and (b) the governing body finds that transit services are or will within a reasonable time period be made available to such subdivision.

The provisions of this section do not apply to condominium projects.

16.20.020 - Park and recreation fees and dedications.

A.

This section is adopted pursuant to Section 66477 of the Government Code which provides for the dedication of land or the payment of fees in lieu thereof for park and recreational facilities as a condition of approval of a tentative map or parcel map.

B.

Whenever land that is proposed to be divided for residential use lies within the boundaries of a public agency designated to receive dedications and fees pursuant to this section, a fee and/or the dedication of land shall be required as a condition of approval of the division of land.

C.

It is found and determined by the board of supervisors that the public interest, convenience, health, welfare and safety requires that three acres of land for each one thousand (1,000) persons residing within the county shall be devoted to neighborhood and community park and recreational facilities unless a community parks and recreation plan, as approved by the board of supervisors, determines that the amount of existing neighborhood and community park area exceeds that limit, in which case the board determines that the public interest, convenience, health, welfare and safety requires that a higher standard, not to exceed five acres of land per one thousand (1,000) persons residing within the county, shall be devoted to neighborhood and community park and residential purposes.

D.

Definitions.

2.

Condominium projects or stock cooperatives which consist of the subdivision airspace in an existing apartment building which is more than five years old and no new dwelling units area added;

3.

Subdivisions containing less than five parcels and not used for residential purposes; provided, however, that a condition of approval shall be placed on those maps that if a building permit is requested for the construction of a residential structure or structures on one or more of the parcels within four years the fee may be required to be paid by the owner of each parcel as a condition to issuance of such permit.

F.

Land Dedication and Fee Requirements.

1.

Whenever a tentative tract map which is subject to the provisions of this section is submitted to the planning director, it shall be accompanied by a written statement from the applicant stating whether he or she intends to dedicate land, pay fees in lieu thereof, or a combination of both for park and recreational purposes. If the developer desires to dedicate land for this purpose, he or she shall first consult with the county and public agency as to the appropriate area to be dedicated, and such area shall be shown on the tentative tract map as submitted.

2.

The conditions of approval of a tentative tract map subject to the provisions of this section shall require the dedication of land, the payment of fees in lieu thereof, or a combination of both for park and recreational purposes. If the land is to be dedicated, the proposed dedication shall be shown on the approved tentative map. If fees are to be paid, the condition of approval shall require that the fees be paid to the public agency which provides the park and recreational services for the community area.

3.

The amount and location of property to be dedicated and the amount of any fees to be paid shall be as approved by the county. If the park and recreational services are provided by a public agency other than the county, the appropriate dedication of land and payment of fees shall be as determined by the county and other public agency.

If the county and the public agency are unable to agree on the appropriate dedication, the final decision shall be made by the board of supervisors. If the county and the public agency are unable to agree on the appropriate amount of fees, the final decision shall be made by the board of supervisors as specified in subsection (I)(7)(b) of this section.

4.

Whenever subsequent development occurs on property for which fees have been paid or land dedicated, no additional fees or dedications shall be required except as to any additional lots or dwelling units which were not subject to a prior fee or dedication requirement.

5.

All dedications of land shall be in accordance with the Subdivision Map Act. Land shall be conveyed in fee simple to the public agency free and clear of all encumbrances except those which will not interfere with the use of the property for its intended purposes and which the public agency agrees to accept. All deeds shall be delivered to the public agency before the approval of the final map. If the final map is disapproved, or if it is withdrawn by the subdivider, the deeds shall be returned to the subdivider. If the final map is approved, the deeds shall be recorded by the public agency at the time the final map is recorded. No deed for dedication of land shall be accepted unless it is accompanied by a policy of title insurance, secured by the subdivider, in an amount equal to the value of the land dedicated.

6.

Whenever fees are to be paid, the fees shall be paid at such time as is agreed upon by the subdivider and the public agency through the conditions of approval. Payment may be required prior to recordation of the final map if the fees are to reimburse the public agency for expenditures previously made, or if the public agency determines that the fees will be collected for park and recreation facilities for which an account has been established and funds appropriated and for which the public agency has adopted a proposed construction schedule or plan. Payment may be deferred to the date of the issuance of building permits, or the date of final inspection or the date the certificate of occupancy is issued, whichever occurs last. If the payment of fees is deferred, the public agency may determine whether the fees shall be paid on a pro rata basis for each dwelling unit when it received its final inspection or certificate of occupancy, on a pro rata basis when certain percentages of the dwelling units have received their final inspections or certificates of occupancy, or on a lump-sum basis when the last dwelling in the development receives its final inspection or certificate of occupancy.

7.

Whenever land has been conveyed or fees paid to the public agency and a final map is never recorded or, if recorded, is reverted to acreage, the public agency shall, at its option, either reconvey all land dedicated to it, repay all fees paid without interest, allow the developer a credit for any land dedicated or fees paid to be applied only to a new subdivision on the same property, or make other arrangements with the subdivider.

G.

Adoption and Amendment of a Community Parks and Recreation Plan.

1.

The board of supervisors shall by resolution designate those public agencies which may receive dedications and fees pursuant to this section.

2.

Each public agency which provides park and recreational services on a community-wide level and which is authorized to receive land dedications and the payment of fees pursuant to this section, must prepare and adopt a community parks and recreation plan. The plan shall be used to plan and direct park and recreation services within the community area served by the public agency.

3.

Whenever a public agency has adopted a community parks and recreation plan, the plan shall be submitted to the board of supervisors for review and approval. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the plan the board shall set the matter for hearing and shall thereafter approve, disapprove or modify the plan by resolution.

4.

A public agency may amend an approved community parks and recreation plan at any time to reflect the needs of the community area, but shall at a minimum do each of the following:

a.

Amend its plan to reflect significant changes in its boundaries or service area within one year of any such changes; and

b.

Conduct a public hearing before its governing board not less than once per year to consider the need for additional amendments.

An amendment to an approved community parks and recreation plan shall be processed in the same manner as the adoption of the original plan, and the amendment shall not become effective until the board of supervisors approves it by resolution.

5.

If a public agency fails to adopt a community parks and recreation plan within one year of the date that the public agency is designated by the board of supervisors to receive dedications and fees pursuant to this section, all lands which have been dedicated and all fees which have been paid to the public agency and accepted by it pursuant to this section for that community area shall be reconveyed to the subdivider, and no further dedications of land or payment of fees shall be required as a condition of approval for land divisions within that community area until a community parks and recreation plan is adopted by the board of supervisors. In addition, any requirements for the dedication of land or the payment of fees which come due prior to the approval of the plan by the board of supervisors shall be waived and may not be accepted by the public agency.

H.

Contents of a Community Parks and Recreation Plan. A community parks and recreation plan shall contain the following provisions:

1.

A statement of goals, policies, programs and proposed location and development of recreation facilities and services such as natural reservations, parks, parkways, beaches, playgrounds, recreational community gardens, and other recreational areas;

2.

A statement of the average number of persons per household in the community area. Unless a different number is set forth in the community parks and recreation plan, the average number of persons per unit shall be as follows:

a.

Single-family dwelling unit (detached garage): 2.98 persons per dwelling unit.

b.

Single-family dwelling unit (attached garage): 2.59 persons per dwelling unit.

c.

Two dwelling units per structure: 2.64 persons per dwelling unit.

d.

Three or four dwelling units per structure: 2.48 persons per dwelling unit.

e.

Five or more dwelling units per structure: 2.34 persons per dwelling unit.

f.

Mobilehomes: 2.72 persons per dwelling unit.

g.

Dwelling units located within residential projects legally restricted to occupancy by senior citizens pursuant to Civil Code Section 51.3: 1.94 persons per dwelling unit;

3.

A statement of standards to be used to determine the proportion of a subdivision to be dedicated for park and recreation purposes or the amount of fees to be paid in lieu thereof;

4.

Specific policies and standards for the development, maintenance and operation of the parks and recreation facilities;

5.

Specific policies, standards and information for the establishment, use and credit for in-lieu fees.

I.

Land Dedication and Fee Determinations. Whether the conditions of approval for a land division shall require the dedication of land, the payment of fees, or both, shall be based on the following:

1.

The natural features of the area, available access, the location, size and shape of the subdivision, the land available for dedication, the feasibility of dedication, the location of existing and proposed park sites and trailways and the compatibility of dedication with the county comprehensive general plan.

2.

For subdivisions containing fifty (50) parcels or less only the payment of fees may be required: provided, however, that when a condominium project, stock cooperative or community apartment project exceeds fifty (50) dwelling units, the dedication of land may be required even though the number of parcels may be

less than fifty (50). Nothing in this section shall prevent a public agency from accepting the voluntary dedication of land by a subdivider for a subdivision containing less than fifty (50) parcels if the dedication meets the other requirements of this section.

3.

Whenever the actual amount of land to be dedicated is less than the amount of land required to be dedicated, the subdivider shall pay fees for the value of any additional land that otherwise would have been required to be dedicated.

4.

Whenever a park or recreational facility is to be located in whole or in part within the proposed subdivision, the land dedicated shall bear a reasonable relationship to the use of the park and recreational facilities by the future inhabitants of the subdivision.

5.

The amount of land to be dedicated or fees paid shall be based on the residential density of the subdivision and shall be determined by multiplying the number of dwelling units of the subdivision by the average number of persons per unit (as determined pursuant to subsection (H)(2) of this section) by a coefficient equaling the number of acres of park land required per person (ranging from .003 to .005).

6.

Whenever land is dedicated, the subdivider shall, without credit, provide the following for the benefit of the land dedicated:

a.

Full street improvements and utility connections including, but not limited to, curbs, gutters, relocation of existing public utility facilities, street paving, traffic control devices, street trees, and sidewalks to the dedicated land;

b.

Fencing along the property lines of the subdivision which are contiguous to the park;

c.

Improve the drainage through the park site;

d.

Provide minimal physical improvements, not including recreational facilities, building, or equipment, which the county and the public agency determine are necessary for acceptance of the land for park and recreational purposes;

e.

Provide access from the park and recreational facilities to an existing or proposed public street, unless the county and the public agency both determine that such access is unnecessary for maintenance of the park area or use of the park by the residents of the area;

f.

Grading and drainage improvements in addition to those grading, drainage, irrigation and planting improvements required under other county ordinances. All land to be dedicated and improvements to be made should be approved by the public agency providing the park and recreation services for the community area prior to the approval or disapproval of a subdivision by the land development committee;

g.

All grading plans for land to be dedicated shall be reviewed and approved by the public agency for conformance with the community parks and recreation plan and the needs of the public agency;

h.

No grading, drainage, irrigation, planting, street or utility improvements required under this section shall be eligible for a credit against the land to be dedicated or fees paid under the provisions of this title.

7.

Whenever a fee is to be paid in lieu of the dedication of land, the following provisions shall apply:

a.

The fee shall be based either on the fair market value of the land which would otherwise be required or on a fixed in-lieu fee rate set forth in the approved plan. Any fixed in-lieu fee rate schedule shall be approved by the board of supervisors. In the event that a fixed fee rate schedule has been established through the adoption of a community parks and recreation plan approved by the board of supervisors, or an amendment thereto approved by resolution of the board of supervisors, deviation or variance from these fee schedules shall not be permitted except by mutual agreement of the board of supervisors and the public agency. The determination that a project is eligible for credits shall not be interpreted as a deviation or variance for the purposes of this section. If no fixed in-lieu fee rate has been established, the fee shall be determined by multiplying the number of acres of land required to be dedicated pursuant to this section by the per acre fair market value of the land within the subdivision which would otherwise be required to be dedicated.

b.

The per acre fair market value of the land within the subdivision which would otherwise be required to be dedicated shall be based on the zoning of the property contemplated under the development approval and on the value of the land within the subdivision as if it were improved only with those improvements described in subsection (I)(6) of this section. The value of any structures other than those improvements specified in subsection (I)(6) of this section shall not be considered when determining fair market value. The fair market value shall be determined and agreed to by the board of supervisors, the public agency, and the subdivider. However, if an agreement on the fair market value cannot be reached, the subdivider may, at his

or her own expense, obtain an appraisal of the property. If the board of supervisors and the public agency do not accept the subdivider's appraisal, the fair market value shall be determined by the board of supervisors after consultation with the office of the county assessor.

c.

Whenever fees are paid pursuant to this section, the public agency shall deposit them into a separate subdivision park trust fund. All fees paid may be used only for the purpose of developing new or rehabilitating existing park and recreational facilities. The development of new park and recreational facilities includes, but is not limited to, the acquisition of land for neighborhood or community parks for recreational purposes. Fees shall be expended for the use only within the boundaries of the county unless the board of supervisors approved otherwise and the public agency maintains appropriate records to reflect such expenditures.

d.

The subdivider may receive a credit against fees as follows:

i.

A credit may be given against the requirement for the payment of fees or the dedication of land required by this section for the reasonable value of park and recreation improvements provided by the subdivider. The amount of the credit shall be determined prior to the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map. The granting of a credit shall be at the discretion of the board of supervisors and shall be based on an approved set of improvement plans. However, the public agency reserves the right to require in-lieu fees if it finds the improvements unacceptable.

ii.

A credit may be given where private areas for park and recreational purposes are provided in a subdivision and such area is for active recreational uses, to be privately owned and maintained in common by the future owner(s) of the development. Such area may be credited against up to fifty (50) percent of the requirement of land dedication or fees at the discretion of the board of supervisors; provided, that the board of supervisors, after consulting with the public agency, determines that it is in the public interest to grant such credits and that all of the following standards either have been or will be met prior to approval of the final map or development permit:

(A)

That yards, court areas, setbacks, and other open space areas, required to be maintained by Ordinance No. 348 (Title 17 of this code), the building code and other regulations, shall not be included in the computation of such private areas;

(B)

Evidence is provided that the private ownership and maintenance of the area will be adequately provided for by recorded written agreement, covenants or restrictions; and

That the use of the private area is restricted for park and recreational purposes by an open space easement or other instrument; and

(C)

That the proposed private area is reasonably adaptable for use of park or recreational purposes, taking into consideration such factors as size, shape, topography, geology, access and location.

"Active recreational uses" means, for the purposes of this section, recreation facilities occurring on usable level land (five percent maximum slope) in a planned development which are designed to provide individual or group activities of an active nature including, but not limited to, open lawn, sports fields, court games, swimming pools, children's play areas, picnic areas, golf courses, and recreational community gardening. Active recreational uses do not include natural open space, nature study areas, open space for buffer areas, steep slopes, or scenic overlooks. Credits for areas within water courses, drainage areas, or water bodies may be granted only if:

(A)

Such areas are suitable for active recreational use;

(B)

Such areas will actually be used for active recreation; and

(C)

The affected public agency submits written verification that its adopted community parks and recreation plan specifically allows for the proposed type of active recreational use to be located within such areas.

Notwithstanding the fifty (50) percent limitation as set forth above, a private open space credit in excess of fifty (50) percent of the requirement of land dedication or fees payment may be granted by the board of supervisors upon written authorization from the public agency consenting to the granting of such credits and specifying that the proposed recreational use is cited in its adopted community parks and recreational plan.

8.

Land which has been dedicated and accepted may be sold by the public agency if the subdivider has not begun substantial construction on the subdivision and the board and the public agency both determine that another site would be more suitable for local park or recreational facilities. The proceeds from the sale of the land must be used for the purchase of the more suitable site.

9.

All fees collected pursuant to this section shall be committed by the public agency for a specific project to serve residents of the subdivision in a budgetary year either within five years of receipt of the fees or five years after the issuance of building permits on one-half of the lots created by the subdivision whichever occurs later. If the fees are not so committed, the fees received shall be distributed to the then record

owners of the subdivision in the same proportion that the size of their lot bears to the total area of all lots in the subdivision.

J.

Annual Reports. Each public agency which has received land dedications or fee payments pursuant to this section shall maintain a separate account thereof and shall prepare an annual report, as well as any additional reports required by the board of supervisors. The annual report shall be in a format prescribed by the county executive officer and shall be filed with such officer no later than ninety (90) days after the fiscal year of the reporting public agency ends. The report shall include each of the following:

a.

The land dedications and fee payments received, the balance of the account, and the facilities purchased, leased or constructed during the fiscal year;

b.

Documentation in support of and justification for the land dedications, fee payments, fee expenditures and any change in the fee account balance;

c.

The most recent audit of the agency, the date and results of the annual public hearing referenced in subsection (G)(4) of this section, information describing any changes in boundaries, service area, plan goals, policies, standards, as well as, any changes in park and recreation facility inventory; and

d.

A schedule of how, when and where it intends to use the land dedicated and the fees paid, including the anticipated starting dates for the development of the park and recreation facilities. The starting dates shall be reasonable with respect to the need for such parks and facilities, weather constraints, the need to minimize the disruption of the neighborhood, the amount of land and fees received, and the anticipated availability of funds for the operation and maintenance of the parks and facilities which are constructed.

The county executive officer shall review the annual reports to ensure that they comply with the provisions of this section and with the standards and policies of the appropriate community parks and recreation plan. The executive officer shall thereafter file a status report with the board of supervisors.

K.

Public Agency Noncompliance. The board of supervisors may revoke, suspend or modify any resolution designating a public agency to receive land dedications and fees or any approval of a community parks and recreation plan if, after a public hearing, it finds a public agency has not complied or is not complying with any provisions of this section or the adopted plan. Notice of such hearing shall be mailed to the affected public agency and shall be published in accordance with Government Code Sections 6060 and 6061 at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing. If the board of supervisors revokes or suspends any such resolution or approval, all lands dedicated and all fees paid to the affected public agency and accepted by it pursuant to this section after the date of the revocation or suspension shall be reconveyed to the

subdivider, and no further land dedications or fee payments shall be required as a condition of approval for land divisions within the affected community area until the revocation or suspension is lifted.
