in effectSec. 609. - Density on lots where portion dedicated to city.
(a) Subject to the other provisions of this section, if: (1) any portion of a tract lies within an area designated on any officially adopted city plan as part of a proposed public park, greenway, or bikeway; and (2) before the tract is developed, the owner of the tract, with the concurrence of the city, dedicates to the city that portion of the tract so designated; then, when the remainder of the tract is developed for residential purposes, the permissible density at which the remainder may be developed shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of this section.
(b) If the proposed use of the remainder is a single-family detached residential subdivision, then the lots in such subdivision may be reduced in accordance with the provisions setforth; except that the developer need not set aside usable open space to the extent that an equivalent amount of land has previously been dedicated to the city in accordance with subsection (a) of this section.
(c) If the proposed use of the remainder is a two-family or multifamily project, then the permissible density at which the remainder may be developed shall be calculated by regarding the dedicated portion of the original lot as if it were still part of the lot proposed for development.
(d) If the portion of the tract that remains after dedication divided in such way that the resultant parcels are intended for future subdivision or development, then each of the resultant parcels shall be entitled to its pro rata share of the "density bonus".
