Yorba Linda Municipal Code Art. 2 Reservations

As a condition of approval of a subdivision map, the subdivider may be required to 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.

(Prior code § 30-21 (a))

Where a park, recreational facility, fire station, library, or other public use is shown on an adopted specific plan or adopted general plan continuing a community facilities element, recreation and parks element or a public building element, the subdivider may be required by the City to reserve such sites as may be determined by the City in accordance with the definite principles and standards contained in the above specific plan or general plan applicable thereto. The reserved area must be 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 applicable 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.

(Prior code § 30-21 (b))

The public agency for whose benefit an area has been reserved shall at the time of approval of the final tract 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.

(Prior code § 30-21 (c))

The purchase price shall be the market value thereof at the time of the filing of the tentative subdivision 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.

(Prior code § 30-21 (d))

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.

(Prior code § 30-21 (e))
