A. In accordance with § 16.06.120B. of the Land Development and Planning Ordinance, the Planning Commission may condition approval of subdivisions, land partitions and conditional use permits to require that the applicant construct necessary public improvements for the development. When the development is to occur at locations where approved master planning documents show new public improvements are necessary, the Planning Com- mission may condition approval of subdivisions, land partitions and conditional use permits to require that the applicant enter into an advance financing agreement when the Commission deems the agreement will best protect the public and promote the general welfare of the city. The applicant, at his or her option, may alternatively elect to be reimbursed by negotiating with the public service provider for reimbursement of oversized public improvements, where provisions for the negotiations exist; by completing the public improvement without reimbursement; or by a combination of methods.
B. In accordance with § 4.12.020, the City Council may determine that an advance financed public improvement will best protect the public and promote the general welfare of the city by ensuring orderly new development. In the absence of a development application, the Council may, by motion, designate the city or other public entity as the developer and direct the City Administrator to prepare an advance financing application.
