of such fee shall be based upon the fair market value of the amount of land which
would otherwise be required for dedication.
The fair market value shall be determined by a Master Appraisal Institute (MAI)
Designated member of the Appraisal Institute acceptable to the City and at the
expense of the subdivider; and the determination shall consider the value of a
buildable acre of land at the time the final map is to be recorded, as if otherwise

map for which the fees are required. If more than one (1) year elapses between
the appraisal and recording of the final map, the City will require that a new
appraisal be prepared at the expense of the subdivider. For purposes of this
section, the determination of fair market value of a buildable acre shall consider,
but not necessarily be limited to, the approval of and conditions of the tentative
subdivision map, the General Plan, zoning, property location, off-street
improvements facilitating use of the property, and site characteristics of the
property.
If a subdivider objects to the fair market value as determined by the Designated
member of the Appraisal Institute, an appeal may be made to the Planning
Commission. The subdivider shall have the burden of proof in contesting the
appraised value.
Nothing in this section shall prohibit the dedication and acceptance of land for
park and recreation purposes in subdivisions of fifty (50) parcels or less, where
the subdivider proposes such dedication voluntarily and the dedication and land
is acceptable to the responsible decision maker.
For subdivisions in excess of fifty (50) parcels, the responsible decision maker
may elect to receive a fee in lieu of land dedication. The value of the amount of
such fee shall be based upon the fair market value of the amount of land which
would otherwise be required for dedication as determined above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, dedication of land may be required by the City for a
condominium, stock cooperative, or community apartment project which exceeds fifty
(50) dwelling units, regardless of the number of parcels.
