This law seems to only apply to new development, rather than forcing existing landowners to give up part of their property without compensation. It's a pretty dumb, anti-development law, but I don't think it's unconstitutional.

One thing I forgot to mention is then when I read the proposed ordinance along with an attached memo, it states that there could be causes of action based on The Bert Harris Act due to takings issues. So that does seem to indicate that if this ordinance is approved they are already anticipating these type of compensation claims being brought forth.
