Where a developer seeks to obtain a discretionary approval from the county to establish one or more new residential dwelling units on a parcel located within the Larkfield-Wikiup Study area (e.g., design review approval, use permit, second-unit permit), on referral from the planning department, the director of regional parks shall request that the appropriate decision making body place a condition on such development which requires the payment of a park fee in the amount of three thousand six hundred seventy-eight dollars ($3,678.00) per residential unit prior to the issuance of a building permit for each new residential dwelling.
