with the provisions of the Planning Act. In this regard, the City may require, as a
condition of development development or redevelopment, the conveyance of land for
park and other recreation purposes at a rate of up to one hectare for every 300 dwelling
units proposed.
The actual rate of dedication may vary by land use designation and location and will be
established in the City's Parkland Dedication By-law. However, in no case will the
dedication be less than that permitted by subsection 41(1) of the Planning Act.
In mixed use developments developments, the alternative requirements of this section
will only apply to the residential units.
The City may apply the alternative parkland dedication requirement to blocks within plans
of subdivision, provided such blocks are excluded from the 5% parkland dedication.
The City may waive the land conveyance requirement and may require cash-in-lieu of
parkland, or a combination of land and cash, under the following circumstances:
(a) The use of the alternative parkland requirement would utilize more than 10% of the
site area, or would render the remainder of the site undevelopable; and/or,
(b) The required dedication would not provide an area of suitable size, shape or location
to achieve the City's objectives for development development of public parkland.
