West Covina Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-09-25 · West Covina

(a)

Dedications for parks and recreation shall be 3.2 acres per one thousand (1,000) residents of the subdivision. The number of residents of the subdivision for purposes of this section shall be the product of the average household size in the City as disclosed by the most recent available federal census and the number of housing units in the subdivision.

(b)

The land dedicated for parks and recreation shall:

(1)

Be in a location and configuration approved by the Planning Commission.

(2)

Be rough graded, including drainage devices, in accordance with a grading plan approved by the recreation and parks director, Community Development Director or their designee and City Engineer.

(3)

Be fully usable for parks and recreation purposes with the majority of the on-site area being graded at two (2) percent and with areas of grades exceeding twenty (20) percent not being included in the computation of the area required to be dedicated.

(4)

Have all public utilities stubbed out to the site and have all connection charges paid including annexation to the county sanitation district.

(5)

Have all public works improvements installed adjacent to the site.

(c)

In such instances where dedication is not required, in total or in part for subdivision, an in-lieu fee shall be paid. The fee shall be equivalent to the value of the land which would have been dedicated if dedication were required. The value shall be the fair market value of the land if it were to be sold immediately after completion of the full improvements in the subdivision. Fair market value shall be determined in accordance with the following:

(1)

The fair market value as determined by the City Engineer and the Community Development Director or their designee based upon the average anticipated sale prices of the fully improved lots, excluding buildings, in the subdivision; or

(2)

If the subdivider objects to such evaluation, he may at his expense obtain an appraisal of the property by a qualified real estate appraiser approved by each party, which appraisal may be accepted by both if found reasonable; or

(3)

The City Council may determine the fair market value.
