The purpose of this article is to require the dedication and/or payment to provide public facilities made necessary as a consequence of the development of land, in an amount roughly proportional to the impact of the development upon such public facilities and services. For every residential subdivision or development, the Town Council shall require the dedication of certain sites for parks, open space, trails and recreation uses or a fee in lieu of such dedication, and may require reservation of sites for school and other public purposes. The Town Manager may, pursuant to PMC 15.07.260, require dedication of public improvements in connection with commercial developments. Land eligible for dedication may include the one hundred (100) year floodplain, national and state historical or natural features, and proposed public areas recommended in state, regional, county or city comprehensive plans. In all cases, the land to be dedicated must be appropriate for the public use intended. Land dedicated shall not include sites unsuitable for public use due to steep slopes, rock formations, adverse topography, utility easements, or other features which may be harmful to the health and safety of the citizens. The Town Council and the Town Manager may take into account the extent to which satisfactory dedication arrangements were made at the time of annexation or previous subdivision of the same property.
