A. The city council has determined that any inhabitant of a subdivision needs approximately two hundred ninety square feet of improved public park and recreational facilities to adequately provide for the public health, welfare and safety. The city council finds and determines, based upon historical experience and current statistical trends, that the average occupancy of a single-family dwelling in the city is three persons. The average occupancy for a duplex dwelling is 2.5 persons, and the average occupancy per unit of apartment dwellings is 1.7 5 persons per unit.

B. The council further determines that the in-lieu fees must be predicted upon an established uniform land value predicted upon the permitted use of the land within the area to be subdivided. In other words, as a community average, the greater the residential density permitted per acre, the greater the fair market value per acre. (Ord. 90-1 (part), 1990)
