and future needs of residents generated by new dwelling units; and
WHEREAS, the cash contribution in lieu of land donation is based on the fair
market value of land in the area improved within the planning jurisdiction of the City;

the City in 1991 and determined to be $30,000 per acre; and

concluded that the fair market value of such improved land in the City is currently
estimated at $113,000 per acre.
