§ 82-276. Calculating area of land dedication.

(a)

If the advisory agency or board of supervisors requires the dedication of land, the subdivider or owner shall dedicate land for neighborhood and community parks according to the formula D × F = A in which:

D	equals the number of dwelling units.
F	equals a "factor" herein described.
A	equals the amount of land, in acres, to be dedicated.

 

(b)

"Dwelling unit" means one or more rooms in a building or structure or portion thereof designed exclusively for residential occupancy by one family for living or sleeping purposes and having kitchen and bath facilities, including mobile homes.

"Single-family area" means an area of land used for or proposed for detached buildings designed for occupancy by one family.

"Multiple-family area" means an area of land used for or proposed for residential occupancy in buildings or structures designed for two through four families for living or sleeping purposes and having a kitchen and bath facilities for each family, including two-family, group and row dwelling units.

"Apartment area" means an area of land used for or proposed for residential occupancy in buildings or structures designed for five or more families for living or sleeping purposes and having kitchen and bath facilities for each family. Included are condominiums and cluster developments.

"Mobile home development" means an area of land used for or proposed for residential occupancy in vehicles which require a permit to be moved on a highway, other than a motor vehicle designed or used for human habitation and for being drawn by another vehicle.

(c)

The factors .0083, .006, .0046 and .0052 are constants determined from the 1980 Federal Census Analysis of the population trends and studies of Sacramento County which, when multiplied by the number of dwelling units permitted in the subject area, will produce three acres per thousand population to be devoted to neighborhood or community park facilities. This limit is specified in section 66477 of the Government Code [Government Code § 66477], and limits the objective in the recreation element of the general plan, unless a higher standard is adopted pursuant to Section 22.40.045 [82-278]. The planning director shall re-establish such factors annually.

(Fs	=	.0083 relating to single-family dwelling units)
(Fm	=	.006 relating to multiple-family dwelling units)
(Fa	=	.0046 relating to apartment, cluster and condominium dwelling units)
(Fmh	=	.0052 relating to mobilehome development dwelling units)

 

(d)

In multiple-family and apartment areas, the number of dwelling units shall be calculated from the maximum density permitted in the proposed zone, as determined from the Zoning Code, including any density bonus, unless the subdivider can demonstrate that the development will contain a lesser number of dwelling units. For tentative parcel maps in multi-family zones which require development plan review pursuant to Sacramento Zoning Code Sections 110-80 et seq., a condition may be added to the tentative parcel map stating that the number of dwelling units may be calculated using the density tentatively approved pursuant to development plan review, and such review shall not become final until the required land or improvemens [sic] are dedicated (or fees in lieu thereof are paid by the subdivider) to the satisfaction of the County.
