ORDINANCE NO. 86-38
(Urgency Interim Increase in Park Dedication
Requirements for County Service Area R-7A
and Surrounding Territory)
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors ordains as follows :
SECTION I . Ordinance Area . This ordinance applies to the terri -
tory—in the unincorporated area of this County within Federal
Census Tracts Nos . 3420 , 3440 , 3452 . 01 , 3461 . 01 , 3461 . 02 , 3462 . 01
and 3462 . 02 , based on the 1980 federal census , hereinafter
referred to as the "ordinance area ." A map showing the approxi-
mate location of the ordinance area , entitled "Map of Ordinance
Area , Ordinance No . 86- 3 " is filed in the Office of the Clerk
of the Board of Supervisors .
SECTION 11 . Urgency Declaration. This ordinance is an urgency
measure as an interim authorization for an increased fee or charge
to protect the public health , welfare and safety, authorized by
Government Code §65962 . There is an urgent need for an increase
in the amount of fees which may be paid in lieu of land dedication
requirements for park and recreational facilities in the ordinance
area . The fees currently required do not reflect current land
values in the ordinance area . Development of a significant amount
of land in the ordinance area is imminent . Therefore , unless the
fees are increased immediately, the cost of establishing park and
recreational facilities called for by the general plan' s
recreational element in the ordinance area will far exceed the
fees collected . Failure to collect sufficient fees will hinder
and forestall , and may prevent , the establishment of those park
and recreational facilities . Having adequate park and
recreational facilities is in the best interest of the public' s
health , safety and welfare , as such facilities provide a place
where all people may enjoy wholesome outdoor activities , and
children may play free from traffic and other hazards . Therefore ,
inability to establish park and recreational facilities , as the
need for them arises , is detrimental to the public health , safety
and welfare .
SECT_IO_N__III . Dedication . Notwithstanding Ordinance Code
5920-6 . 002 , within—the—ordinance area , the total area required to
be dedicated shall be computed by multiplying the number of
dwelling units to be included in the development by four hundred
square feet . The "dwelling unit ," as used herein , has the same
meaning given in Ordinance Code 5920-6 . 002 .
SECTION IV. Amount of Fee . Notwithstanding the provisions of
6rU1nance—Code 8920-6 .004, when fees are to be paid in lieu of
land dedication in the ordinance area , such fees shall be
$1 , 100. 00 per dwelling unit .
SECTION V. Effective and Expiration Dates . This ordinance be-
comes effective immediately upon~passage—and shall be operative
for thirty (30 ) days ( through June 5, 1986 ) , pursuant to
