Quimby Act



Here's a link to an article that we should all consider as part of our arsenal as we fight this effort. The Quimby Act was originally enacted to "require developers to help mitigate the impacts of property improvements. … Local agencies have found that the Act provides a consistent means of providing parks for many California communities and helps to supplement strained agency budgets. … Originally, the Act was designed to ensure 'adequate' open space acreage in jurisdictions adopting Quimby Act standards (3-5 acres per 1,000 residents)."

The attached article covers all the salient elements of this act and might help us in our efforts.
