Overview
This bill amends California’s Quimby Act, which requires developers to dedicate land or pay fees for park and recreational purposes when subdividing land. It introduces new restrictions on these requirements, particularly for infill housing projects. Specifically, it limits the amount of land that can be dedicated or the fees that can be paid to 25% of the subdivision’s acreage and prohibits requiring dedication near existing parks. It also mandates that fees collected under the Quimby Act be deposited in a separate capital facilities account and subject to public reporting requirements, aligning with the Mitigation Fee Act.
Key provisions
- Limits land dedication or fees for infill housing to 25% of the subdivision's acreage.
- Prohibits requiring land dedication or fees near existing parks (within 1/2 mile).
- Requires fees collected under the Quimby Act to be deposited in a separate capital facilities account and subject to public reporting.
- Clarifies the calculation of park area per 1,000 residents.
- Establishes a rebuttable presumption that the average number of persons per household is the same as that disclosed by the most recent census.
- Provides a mechanism for distributing uncommitted fees if they are not used within five years.
- Addresses the use of fees for park development in other neighborhoods.
- Exempts subdivisions containing 50 parcels or less from land dedication requirements.
