Background/Staff Comments
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to the Franklin Municipal Planning Commission and Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning moving the Parkland Dedication requirements from the City’s Zoning Ordinance to a new Title in the City’s Municipal Code for Parks to establish requirements for Parkland Impact Fees and Parkland Dedication.
Since July 1, 2008, the City’s requirements for Parkland Dedication have existed in the City’s Zoning Ordinance. In preparing Ordinance 2016-25 to establish Parkland Impact Fees, staff decided to move requirements for parkland dedication to the City’s Municipal Code. Staff determined that since there were development approval process similarities in administering the City’s Parkland Dedication Ordinance, Road Impact Fee Ordinance, and Sanitary Sewer and Water Off-Set Ordinance, that all the City’s development impact fee ordinances should exist in the Municipal Code.
