Where dedication of land for park and recreation purposes is required, the hearing examiner shall be guided by the policies and recommended standards of the Auburn parks, recreation, and open space plan. It is the policy of the city to require park land dedication where a proposed subdivision will result in a substantial increase in demand for park land or is needed to prevent or abate public nuisances. Generally, this will occur where a subdivision will result in the creation of lots capable of supporting 50 or more residential dwelling units; however, where it is determined that the proposed subdivision, together with any reasonably anticipated future development on adjacent or nearby land, will act in a cumulative manner to substantially increase demand for park land, dedication may be required of smaller subdivisions. The acceptability of the size, configuration and location of land proposed for park dedication shall be determined by the hearing examiner based upon such factors as topography, drainage, natural amenities and access.
