clusion of open space areas served by City water if the

developer elects to base his water requirement on gross
acerage, than an agreement shall be entered into with the
City which shall establish the water rights to be de-
livered to the City or the payment to be made in lieu
thereof, the time for such delivery or payment, (in any
event not later than the issuance of a permit for water
service to individual lots or properties and any other

ment between the City and the owner of the property such

quirements contained under this section In no case
shall the fact that a portion of a property was previous-
ly served with water from the City water utility excuse
the furnishing of water rights when new water service is
requested for other portions of said property "
