gets an 850 unit project with its fair share of park land at a fraction of what it would cost the city to develop and $1.4 million for community park needs. Ms. Dennis appreciated the opinion that there should be no private park and the developer should not receive a credit. However, that is the law that was there before Ruby Hill and it was required to abide by it. She has worked hard to get some public access to this area to address concerns. Ms. Dennis did not believe there were adequate findings to deny a credit. It was moved by Mr. Pico, seconded by Mr. Tarver, to rescind the prior approval of the maximum 50% credit and authorize in its place a 25% credit. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmember Pico and Mayor Tarver NOES: Councilmembers Dennis, Michelotti, and Mohr ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None The motion failed. It was moved by Ms. Michelotti, seconded by Ms. Dennis, to approve a 50% credit for park fees, with additional conditions regarding park access as described by Mr. McKeehan and set forth in the memo by Ms. Bengtson, and that the 100% of the required park fee be paid up to 425 units. Th~ roll Call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Dennis, Michelotti, and Mohr NOES: Councilmember Pico and Mayor Tarver ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None Ms. Acosta wanted to make it clear that there will be continued contributions from the General Fund to the CIP because of the limits of AB 1600. The fewer developments there are, the more General Fund money will be required. Ms. Dennis suggested adding questions to the community survey about park use by the residents, such as how much use and at which parks. Mr. Tarver indicated the point was made in discussion of the business park, that residents pay a fee whether they use the park or not. He thought Ms. Dennis was asking for a question about the principle of granting a credit for private parks. That is what he would like to hear a response concerning. He wanted to clarify the interpretation of the ordinance so that it does not need to be in the public interest to grant a credit, but that merely meeting the standards would qualify a project for a credit. Ms. Michelotti believed that would be a difficult question to formulate. 04/04/95 -15-
