Ill. STUDY SESSION
PARKS AND OPEN SPACE FEE DISCUSSION
Director White stated Section 16-8-5-C of the Unified Development Code requires a Park
and Op e n Space dedication from residential developments . The discussion tonight will
includ e what kind of value the City should be assigning to the dedication acreage that is
r equired. He provided several examples using the current guidelines and several proposed
options for the Commission to discuss.
Discussion Points:
• Commission more in favor of modifying existing regulations than getting rid of it.
• Include residential, commercial and industrial in the regulations (all types of new
development).
• Set fee per area.
• Tiered fees .
• What are other cities doing?
• Most Commissioners agreed on having a set price per square foot.
• Should only be for projects that have an impact on the City.
• Make fees as easy and friendly as possible.
• Have a threshold of say 20 units before fees kick in. Easier to spread costs out over a
number of units.
• Review of fees every 5 years by City Council.
T h e Commission felt they needed more information in order to make a decision; Staff will
condu ct further research and report back at a future meeting .
