For any #site alteration#, #development#, or #enlargement# on a #zoning lot# which contains #designated open space#, the City
Planning Commission shall certify whether or not the applicant shall be required to provide a public pedestrian way through a
portion of the #designated open space#.

When a public pedestrian way is required, it shall be built and maintained by the owner of the #zoning lot# and shall be

#designated open space# on which a #building# has been, is being or could be in the future, constructed in accordance with the
provisions of this Chapter, the City's acquisition of an easement shall not affect the qualifications of the #designated open
space# requirements as provided in Section 107-224 (Qualification of designated open space as lot area for bulk computations)
and shall not be deemed to create a #non-compliance#.
