Park Land Dedication Ordinance (Draft)

The Park Land Dedication Ordinance is a proposed amendment to the City of Stephenville’s Subdivision regulations.  The ordinance applies to new residential subdivisions.

The proposed ordinance provides open space for the public by providing adequate park and recreational areas for the well being of the residents in the City of Stephenville. The City of Stephenville has determined a strong connection between a residential development and the need for parkland is essential to the health and welfare of the Citizens of Stephenville.

The Park Land Dedication Ordinance requires new residential subdivision developers to contribute either land or payment in lieu of land contribution.  Either form of dedication shall go towards the local park system.
