Commission recommends code updates to create P1 parks & adjust parkland dedication thresholds

City planning staff presented two linked items to clean up the city code and implement the parkland ordinance adopted earlier this year. Item 3d renames the place type "P1 nature" to "P1 parks and open space," clarifies civic‑space expectations (encouraged, not mandatory), and adds flexibility on lighting options while preserving dark‑sky photometric limits. Item 3e amended Chapter 10 to require parkland dedication only for developments that create five or more residential lots or are five acres or larger, added minimum park improvement standards for dedicated parkland, and reaffirmed the city’s ability to accept fee‑in‑lieu when sites are unsuitable.
