As the Fee Booklet disclaimer on the first page states, not all payments, conditions, and agreements are included in the Fee Booklet.

Laguna Ridge Specific Plan property owners (including non-participating property owners) are conditioned by the City to pay the project’s share of land acquisition/dedication costs that are not funded by other sources. This condition may be satisfied by:

(a) Entering into a Master Cost Sharing Agreement, in a form acceptable to the City, with the Laguna Ridge Owner’s Group; or
(b) By the payment of cash to the Laguna Ridge Owner’s Group in an amount agreed to by the Laguna Ridge Owner’s Group and the City as the project applicant’s share of the land acquisition/dedication costs; or
(c) By some combination of the methods outlined in (a) and (b) above, in a form acceptable to the City.
Similar to land acquisition/dedication costs, the Laguna Ridge Specific Plan property owners (including non-participating property owners) will be conditioned to pay the project’s share of park and park related improvement costs that are not funded by other sources.

(a) Entering into a Master Cost Sharing Agreement with the Laguna Ridge Owner’s Group, in a form acceptable to the City; or
(b) By the payment of cash, as the project applicant’s share of the cost of the public improvements, to the Laguna Ridge Owner’s Group in an amount agreed to by the Laguna Ridge Owner’s Group and the City; or
