RESOLUTION A

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MANAGER TO CONTINUE USING THE CURRENT ORDINANCE TO REQUIRE PAYMENTS-IN-LIEU OF RECREATION AREA WHEN SUCH PAYMENTS WOULD BETTER SERVE THE PUBLIC THAN THE DEDICATION OF LAND (2007-11-19/R-14a)

WHEREAS, in 1993, the General Assembly authorized the Town to require payments-in-lieu of recreation area if the required recreation area was 2 acres or less; and

WHEREAS, in 2005 and 2006 the Council took action that simplified the Town’s ordinance regulating the payment-in-lieu process; and

WHEREAS, the public is sometimes better served if smaller residential developments make payments-in-lieu of making land dedications;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the Town of Chapel Hill that the Manager should continue to evaluate each subdivision request under the provisions of the Land Use Management Ordinance and to recommend payments-in-lieu of land dedications when payments would have a greater positive impact on the Chapel Hill community than the dedication of tracts of land 2 acres or less.

This the 19^th day of November, 2007.
