§ 5-305. Recreation standards.

For the purpose of this section, the following standards shall be used:

(1)

Parkland. It is hereby found and determined that a minimum of three (3) acres of parkland (land devoted to recreational uses and improvements thereon or open space) should be reserved for every one thousand (1,000) persons in order to provide for the health and welfare of the citizens of South Daytona.

(2)

Parkland development. The city council has established a program for the acquisition of lands and for the development of parks in the city in order to meet, within a reasonable period of time, the existing recreation need, and to meet, as it occurs, the need for parks and recreation facilities which will be created by residential development constructed after September 11, 1991.

(3)

This program is contained in the recreation and open space element of the city comprehensive plan and the parks master plan as these have been adopted and amended. The annual budget and capital program of the city shall provide for appropriation of funds as may be necessary to carry out the program for the acquisition of land for parks. The funds necessary to acquire lands to meet the existing need for parks must be provided from a source of revenue other than from the amounts deposited in the trust fund provided for herein.

(4)

Trust funds shall be expended within a reasonable period of time, for the purpose of acquiring or developing land necessary to meet the need for parks created by the new development paying the fees in order to provide a system of parks which will be available to, and substantially benefit, the residents of the new units.

(5)

Except as may be otherwise provided herein, all words, phrases, and standards shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the recreation and open space element of the city comprehensive plan.
