WHEREAS, the Town of Trophy Club is a Home Rule Municipality acting under its
charter adopted by the electorate pursuant to Article XI, Section 5 of the Texas Constitution and
Chapter 9 of the Texas Local Government Code; and
WHEREAS, on February 19, 2001, the Town Council enacted Ordinance No. 2001-02,
an Ordinance repealing Ordinance Nos. 94-01 and 99-12, and adopted a new Ordinance relating
to the dedication of park land and open space, and;
WHEREAS, staff recommends an update to the current Park Land Ordinance, including
a Park Land Methodology, set forth in Exhibit “A”, (a copy of Exhibit “A” is attached hereto and
incorporated herein by this reference); and
WHEREAS, the Town Council now deems it necessary for the safe, orderly, and
healthful development of the Town and in the best interest of the Town of Trophy Club, Texas,
to adopt new regulations governing the Park Land Dedication within the corporate limits of the
Town.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE TOWN COUNCILOF THE
TOWN OF TROPHY CLUB, TEXAS:
SECTION 1.
INCORPORATION OF PREMISES
The above and foregoing premises are true and correct and are incorporated herein and
made a part hereof for all purposes.
SECTION 2.
PURPOSE
This article is adopted to provide recreational areas in the form of neighborhood parks as
a function of subdivision development in the Town. This article is enacted in accordance with the
home rule powers of the Town, granted under the state constitution, and the statutes of the state
including, but not by way of limitation, V.T.C.A., Local Government Code § 54.004, and ch.
212. It is hereby declared by the Town Council that recreational areas in the form of
neighborhood parks are necessary and in the public welfare, and that the only adequate
procedure to provide for neighborhood parks is by integrating such a requirement into the
procedure for planning and developing property or subdivision in the Town, whether such
development consists of new construction on vacant land or rebuilding and remodeling of
structures on existing residential property.
Neighborhood parks are those parks providing for a variety of outdoor recreational
opportunities and within convenient distances from a majority of the residences to be served
thereby. The primary cost of neighborhood parks should be borne by the ultimate residential
property owners who, by reason of the proximity of their property to such parks, shall be the
primary beneficiaries of such facilities. Therefore, this article is adopted to effect the purposes
stated.
SECTION 3.
DEDICATION PROCEDURES
A. Whenever a Final Plat is filed on record with the county clerk of Denton or Tarrant
County for development of a residential area in accordance with the planning and zoning
ordinances of the Town, such plat shall contain a clear fee simple dedication of an area of
land to the Town for park purposes, which area shall equal one (1) acres for every 44
proposed dwelling units.
B. The Town Council declares that development of an area smaller than five (5) acres for
public park purposes is impractical. Therefore, if fewer than 220 dwelling units are
proposed by a plat filed for approval, the developer shall be required to pay the applicable
cash in lieu of land amount provided by Section 4, rather than to dedicate any land area.
No plat showing a dedication for park purposes of less than five (5) acres shall be
approved.
C. In all other instances, the Town shall have the right to accept the dedication for approval
on the final plat, or to refuse the dedication, after consideration of the recommendation of
the planning and zoning commission and the Parks and Recreation Director, and to
require payment of cash in lieu of land in the amount provided by Section 4, if the Town
determines that sufficient park area is already in the public domain in the area of the
proposed development, or if the recreation potential in the area of the proposed would be
better served by expanding or improving existing parks.
SECTION 4.
MONEY IN LIEU OF LAND
Where Town Council determines that a payment of money in lieu of land shall be made,
the following provisions shall apply.
A. Amount Required to be Paid:
1. Any payment of money required to be paid by this Ordinance shall be in an
amount equal to the average per acre value of the whole property included within
the residential development. The acquisition price for land shall be equal to the
appraised value of the land existing in effect at the time of Final Plat approval.
2. In determining the average per acre value of the total land included within the
proposed residential development, the Town Council may base its determination
on one or more of the following:
a. The most recent appraisal of all or part of the property made by the central
appraisal district; or
b. Confirmed sale prices of all or part of the property to be developed, or
comparable property in close proximity thereof, which have occurred
within two (2) years immediately proceeding the date of determination; or
c. Where, in the judgment of the Town Council, (i) or (ii) above would not,
because of changed conditions, be a reliable indication of the then current
value of land being developed, an independent appraisal of the whole
property shall be obtained by the Town and paid for by the developer.
SECTION 5.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
A. Any land dedicated to the Town under this article must be suitable for park and recreation
uses. The following characteristics of a proposed area are generally unsuitable:
1. Any area primarily located in the 100-year floodplain.
2. Any areas of unusual topography, slope or other characteristics which renders
same unusable for organized recreational activities or other parks and recreational
uses.
Such characteristics of a park land dedication area may be grounds for refusal of any
preliminary plat.
B. Land listed in paragraph A of this Section may be accepted by the Town Council,
provided that suitable land in the proper amount is dedicated which is contiguous with the
unsuitable land.
C. Drainage areas may be accepted as part of a park if the channel is constructed in
accordance with Town engineering standards, and if no significant area of the park is cut
off from access by such channel.
D. Each park must have ready access to a public street.
E. Unless provided otherwise in this section, an action by the Town shall be by the Town
Council, after consideration of the recommendations of the planning and zoning
commission and the Parks and Recreation Director and his recommendation to the Town
Council.
SECTION 6.
CREDIT FOR CONVEYANCE OF FLOODPLAINS
A. In cases where floodplain land or property is proposed for conveyance to satisfy the park
land requirements, a credit will be given upon the following criteria:
1. Three (3) acres of floodplain shall be equal to one (1) acre of non-floodplain.
SECTION 7.
MINIMUM PARK IMPROVEMENTS
A. In cases where land dedication is chosen, the following minimum criteria must be
adhered to by the developer, at the developer expense, prior to acceptance of the
improvements by the Town. The Developer shall:
1. Grade and clear unwanted vegetation, to be determined by the Town;
2. Provide water and sewer service to the site.
SECTION 8.
BIENNIAL REVIEW
Prior to one (1) year after the effective date of this Ordinance, the Parks & Recreation
Director shall review the Park Land Dedication Ordinance and make any recommendations for
revision to the Town Council. Thereafter, at least once every two (2) years, the Parks &
Recreation Director shall review the Parkland Dedication Ordinance and make any
recommendations for revision to the Town Council.

of land, as required by this Ordinance, to begin, or allow any other person or contractor to begin,

Town in accordance with this Ordinance.
SECTION 10.
PERMITS AND SERVICES TO BE WITHHELD

provided to any land within any development to which this Ordinance applies until the required
conveyance of land or payment of money in lieu of land is made to the Town in accordance with
this Ordinance.
SECTION 11.
REDETERMINATION OF REQUIREMENTS FOR
PROPOSED ADDITIONAL DWELLING UNITS
After the Town Council has made a determination of the requirements of this Ordinance,
or after the requirements of this Ordinance have been met, based upon the proposed number of
residential dwelling units for any land to which this Ordinance applies, any person who desires to
construct a number of dwelling units in excess of the number dwelling units for which the
requirements of this Ordinance were determined or met, must submit to the Town Council a
revised zoning proposal for additional dwelling units for the development. Once the Town
Council has approved a zoning ordinance increasing the number of dwelling units allowed on a
platted lot, the developer shall either convey additional park land through a plat or replat, or shall
pay a fee in lieu of park land for the additional dwelling units, at issuance of building permits.
Where a payment of money was originally made to meet the requirements of this Ordinance, the
person proposing to construct additional dwelling units may be required to convey land for all or
part of the development. In such case, after the required conveyance is made, the payments, or
portion thereof, previously made, which are satisfied by the dedication of land, shall be returned
by the Town.
SECTION 12.
