(A) Impact fee facilities plan required. Pursuant to U.C.A. § 11-36a-301 of the Impact Fees Act, before imposing or amending an impact fee, the city is required to prepare an impact fee facilities plan to determine the public facilities required to serve development resulting from new development activity. The impact fee facilities plan shall identify the demands placed upon existing public facilities by new development activity and the proposed means by which the city will meet those demands.
(B) Citywide Impact Fees Facilities Plan. The city has, through its consultants, researched and analyzed the factors set forth in U.C.A. § 11-36a-302 of the Impact Fees Act and has caused to be prepared a Citywide Impact Fees Facilities Plan (“IFFP”). The IFFP has been prepared based on reasonable growth assumptions for the city and general demand characteristics of current and future users of facilities. The IFFP identifies the impact on system improvements created by development activity and estimates the proportionate share of the costs of impacts on system improvements that are reasonably related to new development activity. As shown in the IFFP, the city has considered all revenue sources to finance the impacts on system improvements, including grants, bonds, interfund loans, impact fees and anticipated or accepted dedications of system improvements. The IFFP establishes that impact fees are necessary to maintain proposed level of service that complies with applicable provisions of U.C.A. § 11-36a 302 of the Impact Fees Act.
(C) Plan certification. The IFFP includes a written certification in accordance with U.C.A. § 11-36a-306 of the Impact Fees Act from the person or entity that prepared the plan certifying that the IFFP complies in each and every relevant respect with the Impact Fees Act.
(D) Compliance with noticing requirements. All noticing requirements set forth in the Impact Fees Act, including, but not limited to, provisions of U.C.A. Title 11, Chapter 36a, Part 5, Notice, including notice of intent to prepare an impact fee facilities plan, notice to adopt or amend an impact fee facilities plan, notice of preparation of impact fee analysis and notice of intent to adopt impact fee enactment, have been provided. Copies of the IFFP and Storm Drain IFA, together with a summary designed to be understood by a lay person, and this chapter, have been made available to the public by placing a copy of the IFFP and IFA, together with the summary, and this chapter, in the City Library and the City Recorder’s office at City Hall at least ten days before the public hearing.
