4. Subdividers and developers of commercial and industrial land, including commer-
cial and industrial portions of Mixed Planned Unit Developments (MPUD's), shall

issued, to dedici*e to the City for park, playground, and public open space pur-
poses, that amount of la:,d equal to 10% of the land area within the development
upon which the maximum builoing coverage was calculated in accordance with the
Zoning Ordinance. In those cases where the City shall require payment of fees
in -lieu of such land dedication, the fees shall be in an amount equal to 10% of
the Assessor's estimated undeveloped land value for such property zoned in the
classification requested by the developer; the land used for this calculation
shall be that upon which the ,maximum building coverage was calculated in accord-
ance with the Zoning Ordinance. These values shall be determined based upon the
City Assessor's estimate of the average value of undeveloped commercial and
industrial land in the City. The City Manager shall provide the Council, at its
first meeting in February, each year, or such other times as the Council may
direct, with a report from the City Assessor indicating his estimate of the
average value of undeveloped commercial and industrial land in the community and
a survey of industrial/commercial fees in effect in comparable communities.
In any event, the park dedication fees required shall not exceed $2,700.00 per
acre. If the City determines that a developer shall be required to dedicate a
portion of the land proposed for development for park or public open space pur-
poses and such dedication does not satisfy the requirements of this policy, the
balance due the City in cash shall be based upon the Assessor's estimated value
of the undeveloped land proposed for development. The City may permit easements
