RESOLUTION NO. 79--12
RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DIS-
TRICT ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR THE DEDI-
CATION OF DISTRICT LANDS
DEDICATED LANDS POLICY
WHEREAS, this Board desires to reaffirm and memorial-
ize its policy concerning the status of District lands, now
owned or later acquired, with respect to the distinction be-
tween dedicated and nondedicated land;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the policy of the
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District concerning the status
of land it owns or administers is as follows:
1. Dedicated Land. Dedicated land means all real
property, or interests therein, formally dedicated for park
purposes by resolution of this Board.
2. Undedicated Land. Undedicated land means all
real property, or interests therein, that is not "dedicated
land" as defined above. Undedicated land shall be considered
to be held in a "planning reserve" status and shall not be con-
sidered to be dedicated for park purposes within the meaning of
Section 5540 of the Public Resources Code.
At the time of acquisition the Board would decide
whether or not the acquired parcel of land shall be dedicated
land.
Normally undedicated lands within the District's.
boundaries will be held for future dedication to park or open
space purposes, but only after the necessary planning, boun-
dary adjustments, provision for permanent access and other
changes in configuration which may involve the disposition
or exchange of portions of such lands have been completed.
Nevertheless, undedicated land may be used on a limited basis
for park purposes, but any such use shall not in any way con-
stitute an express or implied dedication of such lands for
park purposes within the meaning of Section 5540 of the Public
Resources Code.
Any land held in a planning reserve status for which
the study period has not been expressly extended shall without
further action, be deemed dedicated two years after the date
of the District's acquisition of title, or as of the date of
adoption of this resolution, whichever is later.
3. Transfer -Dedicated Land. Dedicated land may not
be conveyed except as provided in Section 5540 of the Public
Resources Code.
4. Transfer -Undedicated Land. Undedicated land may
be conveyed, transferred, leased, or disposed of at the sole
discretion of the Board of Directors.
