Background:  The attached resolution would call two Public Hearings to consider language amending various sections of Article 5.5 of the Land Use Management Ordinance dealing with Recreation Area and Recreation Space requirements.

Fiscal Note: Certain provisions of the amended Land Use Management Ordinance could allow the Council the option to increase the amount of funding available for capital funding of parks and recreation projects.

Staff Recommendation(s):  That the Council adopt the attached resolution to call a Public Hearing for April 20, 2009, to consider various changes to Article 5.5 of the Land Use Management Ordinance, as discussed in this memorandum.

In addition, the resolution would call a Public Hearing for June 15, 2009, to consider adding a requirement that Recreation Space be required for non-residential developments that are approved as part of a Special Use Permit. The public hearing would also include language that would give the Council the authority to require payments in lieu for any such Recreation Space.
