5 / 26 / 99 Appendix G Existing Local Payment - In - Lieu Procirams Orange County Payment- in - Lieu Program The County uses a zoning map approach to calculate all payment in lieu of dedications . The amount of a payment depends upon the location of the subdivision . Any subdivider required to dedicate recreation area may make a payment in lieu of dedication or make a combination of land dedicated and payment with approval by the Orange County Board of Commissioners , as long as the subdivision is not designated for recreation and / or open space in the County Comprehensive Plan . Depending on the location of the property in question , the payment in lieu of dedication is equal to either $ 422 per lot if the subdivision is within the service area of a community park or $ 455 per lot if the subdivision is located in the service area of a district park . With the combination of land dedication and payment in lieu option , the subdivider is given a credit of $ 10 , 000 per acre for each acre of land dedicated for recreational purposes . If the multiplication of the number of acres dedicated by $ 10 , 000 is less than the payment in lieu , the subdivider pays the difference . If the credit is more than the determined payment in lieu , no additional payment is required . Carrboro Payment-in - Lieu Program The Town of Carrboro uses a point system in determining payment in lieu of dedications . Each type of recreational facility is assigned points per square foot . For example a Tennis Court is assigned 0 . 034 points per square foot . The typical square footage is 7 , 200 sq . ft . , which when multiplied by 0 . 034 yields 245 points . Each type of residence has a minimum number of recreation points required ( e . g . a single family detached unit requires 10 . 39 points per dwelling unit ) . All new developments must meet the points required by including recreational areas or it must pay $ 143 . 54 per point . Residential developments that are exempt from providing on - site active recreational areas , recreational facilities or open space pay a fee to the Town 's open space and recreational facilities fund . The minimum amount to be paid is derived from the point system . For example the development of one single family detached unit is exempt from providing on - site recreational facilities . The minimum payment in Lieu would be $ 143 . 54 multiplied by the required points for this dwelling , which is 10 . 39 . The minimum amount due equals $ 1 , 491 . 38 ( 10 . 39 x $ 143 . 54 = 1491 . 38 ) .
