26.16.050 PUBLIC FACILITY SITES.

Where the site for a proposed public school is located within a proposed subdivision, the City may, as a condition of approval, require the subdivider to offer to sell the school site to the school district under the terms and conditions set forth in the Subdivision Map Act. Where the site for a park or recreational facility is located within a proposed subdivision, the provisions of section 26.64.0l0 shall apply. In cases where the proposed park and recreational facilities or other public facilities should be located within a proposed subdivision in order to serve that subdivision and adjacent lands, and these reservations would be in excess of the requirements of section 26.64.010, the subdivider shall reserve the excess site area in an amount and location as may be specified by the City. All of these reserved areas shall be held by the subdivider for a period of not less than one year to afford the City or other applicable public agency the opportunity to purchase the site for the purpose specified.
