A. Lands to be dedicated or reserved for trail or reserved for support facility purposes shall be suitable, in the opinion of the advisory agency in location, topography, environmental characteristics, development potential, and consistent with the Specific Trails Plan as it refers to the intended use. The primary intent of this section shall be construed to provide the land for functional trails and support facilities for community service.

B. At the time of approval of a development as defined in this chapter, the advisory agency shall determine the amount of land required for dedication. If the advisory agency requires in-lieu payment by the applicant, the advisory agency will set the rate or amount of land upon which the in-lieu fee will be based.

C. Prior to, or concurrently with, final approval of a development project, the applicant shall dedicate the land free of encumbrances to the city, and/or pay in-lieu fees, as required by the advisory agency. Where advisory agency has determined that fees shall be paid in-lieu of, or in addition to the dedication of land, the in-lieu fees shall be set based on the land dedication requirements pursuant to this chapter.
