Develop specifications and guidelines to guide the timing and construction standards for land dedicated as parkland, new park acquisitions or park asset renewal or redevelopment initiatives. For multi-phase developments, park dedication and development should occur in the first phases of development. Prioritize parkland dedication over cash-in-lieu contribution, where opportunities exist. Environmentally Sensitive Areas and required setbacks areas are not considered as part of development related parkland dedications. Seek opportunity to augment the Parkland Acquisition Reserve Fund in order to ensure a dedicated source of funding to support parks acquisition. Explore what contributions to include such as grants, money received from the sale or disposal of parkland, or parcel-based tax levy. In case of school closure or relocation, work with the School District 71 to explore opportunities for protecting, retaining, enhancing, and acquiring the open space components of these properties as City parks.
