Parks and Recreation Board Agenda Communication
for December 1, 2003
Issue
Discuss and consider changes to the Parkland Dedication Ordinance.
Background
The Parkland Dedication ordinance is the tool by which the City obtains either the
dedication of parkland or the payment of fees through the residential development
process. The fees paid are applied to the purchase of land for new parks or the
improvement of existing parks. As development continues within the City, the Park
Board has been working with greater frequency with developers in implementing the
Parkland Dedication ordinance.
In December 2002, the City's consultant, Carter & Burgess, completed work on the
Wylie Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan. The plan identified a need for the
City to acquire additional parkland and park facilities throughout the next ten years to
meet the demands of a growing population. On February 11, 2003 the City Council
considered and acted upon approval of a Resolution acknowledging the adoption of the
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan. On October 14, 2003, the City Council
held a joint work session with the Park Board. The Council advised the Park Board to
investigate and identify potential funding sources for future parkland and park facility
acquisition and development. During recent discussions at Park Board meetings, the
Board determined that the Parkland Dedication ordinance, which was adopted in 1987
and revised in 1999, needed to be reviewed and updated.
The board directed staff at the November 3, 2003 meeting to draft a new Ordinance for
their review at the December 1, 2003 meeting.
