Kimberly Garrett, Parks and Recreation Director and Andreina Davila -Quintero, AICP, Current
Planning Manager
Davila presented the proposed changes. This new section will be composed of dedication
requirements, design standards and the process for dedication. The fee -in -lieu is proposed to
go up, see presentation for calculation.
Davila asked the committee to review the first draft language. Does the structure of the
ordinance make sense? Do the regulations, as written, accomplish the proposed changes?
Through the discussion of the increased fees, Cramer asked to consider phasing this
requirement in, so that the impact is not immediately from $200 to $2000 per unit. He explains
that this will kill the density and will affect the land value ratio. Stevens points out that this is a
huge burden on affordable housing. Waggoner reflects that this is the conflict between two

public needs. Bargainer says timing during the development should be considered so that this
is not the total burden of the developer. Cramer asks that if this goes through that the effective
date is seriously considered to give developers time to build the extra costs into the projects.
Davila says they will review vesting standards with the city attorney, and whether that includes
fees.
The committee discussed establishing the value of the park, or the land when there are
variables. Bargainer says there should be compensation or calculation for other residents that
will use the park so that the developer does not have to carry that burden. They asked what the
parkland square footage per resident would be and asked if there was a calculation. Davila said
staff will come back with more information and other proposed language. Dubcak asked that
Parks personnel be present. Stevens wants to discuss the more global discussion of the parks
philosophy and future needs, in the context of the comprehensive plan and parks master plan.
Davila will work on a special meeting for discussion of the parks proposed changes.
D. Presentation and discussion on possible amendments to UDC Section 13.10 Special Districts,
and Section 3.20 Development Agreements, relating to Municipal Utility Districts (MUD)
(Amendment No. 8). Seth Gipson, Management Analyst, and Andreina Davila -Quintero, AICP,
Current Planning Manager.
Davila presents the proposed changes that have been adopted by the council. She asked that
the committee look at the policies that need to affect the UDC and those that don't and need to
be located in other forms. She reviewed the text changes that have already been made. She
reviewed the checklist that will be part of the Development Manual. Stevens pointed out the
typos on page 75, and Philpott says it should be either wastewater or sewer. And it should be
