(b) Cash contribution in lieu of land dedication. If the city council,in its sole discretion, determines that all or a portion of the land proposed to be dedicated is unsuitable for parks, then the tract owner shall contribute to the city prior to releasing the final subdivision, in lieu of park land dedication, a cash contribution proportionate to the fair market value of the land, and set forth in the city's fee schedule.
