(b) Funds withdrawn from the three parks impact fee funds may be used only for park improvements within the parks benefit area that corresponds with the respective impact fee fund, except that park improvements to a regional park may be funded in part, or in whole, by impact fee funds derived from any one or more of the three parks impact fee funds without regard for the location of the regional park.
