Recreation areas can <br /> be required under Article 5 . 1 . 1 of the Zoning Ordinance but only <br /> in high density ( five units per acre or greater) projects. The <br /> proposed ordinance amendment would require the dedication of such <br /> lands if park and/or open space areas are designated for the <br /> property on the Land Use Plan. The amendment would require a <br /> payment in lieu if no such designations were shown. Payment in <br /> lieu would be determined by the fair market value as ascertained <br /> from tax records. Such payments would be earmarked for the <br /> acquisition and/or development of recreation areas. <br /> EXISTING ORDINANCE PROVISIONS: None <br /> PROPOSED AMENDMENTS: Attached <br /> ************************************ <br /> ORDINANCE REVIEW SUBCOMMITTEE: <br /> PLANNING BOARD REVIEW: <br /> BOCC REVIEW; <br />
