§ 30-2-214. DEDICATION OF PARKLAND REQUIRED.

(A)

A subdivider of a residential subdivision shall provide for the parkland needs of the residents by the dedication of suitable land for park and recreational purposes under this division.

(B)

The area to be dedicated must be shown on the preliminary plan and the plat and included in the dedication statement. The subdivider shall dedicate to the park service provider all parkland required by this division when a plat is approved.

(C)

The amount of parkland required to be dedicated by the subdivider to the park service provider is five acres for every 1,000 residents, as determined by the following formula:

(D)

In calculating the amount of parkland to be dedicated under this section, the number of residents in each dwelling unit is based on density as follows:

Dwelling Units Per Acre	Residents In Each Dwelling Unit
Not more than 6	2.8
Dwelling Units Per Acre	Residents In Each Dwelling Unit
More than 6 and not more than 12	2.2
More than 12	1.7

 

(E)

In calculating the amount of parkland to be dedicated under this section, density for a multifamily subdivision is assumed to be the highest permitted in the zoning district, or if the property is not zoned, 24 dwelling units per acre. The subdivider may reduce the assumed density by restricting density in a restrictive covenant enforceable by the park service provider and approved by the park service provider's attorney.
