14-22-1	INTENT

It is the intent of this chapter to assist the City in planning large tract areas to insure 
proper design of water, sewer and utility services. This option can be filed with the City 
to determine basic land use needs and density requirements, for the purpose of 
achieving a Master Plan Concept, and to assist a developer in density requirements 
when the developer elects to leave large, open space areas for recreational use. The 
final zoning shall not be reflected on the zoning map until the developer has submitted 
individual plot plans of each phase before the Council, with exact metes and bounds 
descriptions. Upon Council approval, the City Zoning Map shall be assigned permanent 
zoning as approved. Under this portion of the option, the maximum gross population 
density and building intensity of the overall development shall not exceed that permitted 
under conventional single-family standards.  (Ord. No. 79-49)

14-22-3	REQUIRED CONDITIONS

A.	For each square foot of land gained for permanent open space through reduction of 
lot sized below minimum requirements established in Article 14-5, an equal amount 
of land shall be either dedicated to the common use of the residents in the 
development in a  manner to be approved by the Council or, subject to the approval 
of the Council, dedicated to the City for public park purposes.

B. 	Sites to be dedicated for either public park or resident recreation purposes shall be 
so located and dimensioned as to be usable and developable for such purposes and 
shall be subject to approval by the City as part of either the subdivision plat or site 
plan approval process. The sponsor shall dedicate the total proposed park area at 
the same time a final plat is filed for all or any portion of the subdivision or upon 
application for a building permit for an approved site plan.

C.	Sites dedicated for public park purposes shall abut a public street on at least one 
side and shall be at least four (4) acres in net area and not divided by a street, alley, 
canal or other physical barrier.

D.	When the open space is dedicated to a property owner's association, such park area 
shall be held, improved and maintained in accordance with a homeowners' 
agreement satisfactory to the Council, and such agreement shall be recorded as a 
part of the initial plat or approved site plan.  In the event of any default in terms of 
such agreement, the open space shall, at the discretion of the City, either be 
conveyed to the City or the property owners who are party to the agreement shall be 
assessed equally as a tax lien to correct the deficiency.
