2020 CENSUS DATA FOR DETERMINING THE AMOUNT
OF PARKLAND TO BE DEDICATED PURSUANT TO
CHAPTER 16.35 OF THE CORONA MUNICIPAL CODE.
WHEREAS, the Quimby Act, set forth in Government Code Section 66477, authorizes a city, by passage of an ordinance, to require a developer to dedicate land in order to provide park or recreational facilities in order to offset park/open space impacts, where the developer seeks the City of Corona’s (“City”) approval for a project involving the subdivision of land; and
WHEREAS, the Quimby Act permits the City, by ordinance, to require the dedication of land up to the maximum amount of three acres per 1,000 residents of the subdivision; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 16.35 of the City Municipal Code (“CMC”) permits the City Council, by resolution, to set the required amount of parkland to be dedicated up to the statutory maximum amount allowed under the Quimby Act; and WHEREAS, CMC Section 16.35.040(D) provides that the maximum amount of park land the City may require for any subdivision is determined by multiplying the number of dwelling units in the subdivision for each housing type by the occupancy factor for each housing type by .003 (i.e., the ratio of the maximum park area standard of three acres per one thousand population); and
WHEREAS, CMC Section 16.35.040(C) provides that the dwelling unit occupancy factor is to be established by resolution of the City Council using the latest available census data; and
WHEREAS, the most recent United States census data, which was released in 2020, determined that the average persons per household for a housing unit (house, apartment, mobilehome) within the City is 3.28 persons; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to establish the dwelling unit occupancy factor using data from the 2020 United States Census, which will be used to determine the required amount of parkland to be dedicated pursuant to CMC Chapter 16.35.
