Whereas, by virtue of Ordinance 2012-24 approved and adopted by City Council on
November 5, 2012, the City of Friendswood, Texas has amended its Park Dedication Ordinance,
Appendix B, Subdivision Ordinance, Section IV entitled "Parldand dedieation;" and
Whereas, the amendments adopted by City Council have, among other things, seived to
eliminate the designation of city parks for dedication pmposes as being either "neigl�borhood" ar
"conununity" parks in favor of the general classification of such parlcs as "city parks" in general;
and
Whereas, although the City's Parks and Open Space Mastei• Plan, in part, identifies the
classification of parks as including both neighborhood and community parlcs, such Plan does not
serve as an instrument by which parldand dedications to the City are effected; and
Whereas, for tliese reasons and as a result of consultation with the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department, it is determined that Ylie City's Parks and Open Space Master Plan does not
require an update at tlus time; and
Where�s, the City Council wishes to authorize the issuance of a letter to the Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department notifying the same of the City's adoption of Ordinance No. 2012-24;
NOW, THEI2EFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL Or THE CITY OF

Re: City of Friendswood Parks and Open Space Master Plan
Dear Ms, Eley:
In accordance with prior communications, the City of Friendswood would like to take this
opportunity to notify your offices of changes recently made to the City's Parkland Dedication
Ordinance (PDO); more specifically Appendix B, Subdivision Ordinance, Section IV, and
Appendix D, Fees. The revisions included changes to the fee stnicture for developers as well as
changes to the city's current park designations; "Neighborhood/Community Parks" to "City
Parks":
At your direction, this letter fotmally notifies the State of the changes to our Parkland
Dedication Ordinance. Moreover, any references to "Neighborhood/Community Parks" within
the Parks and Open Space Master Plan should now correlate to "City Parks" mentioned in our
PDO.
Therefore, on behalf of the City of Friendswood and the Parks and Recreation Board, I submit
this letter formally notifying the State of the above changes along with the attached resolution
approving this letter and City Parks Map, which will now become an attachment to the current
Parks and Open Space Master Plan.
Sincerely,
/�,�,� �'� �c<�.�._-
