c. in the event that the City is seeking an off-site parkland dedication, the Owner has registered or authorized the City to register a section 118 restriction on title to the parkland prior to the issuance of the first above-grade building permit of the Lands, to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks and Recreation and the City Solicitor.
