This chapter is adopted pursuant to the municipal affairs provisions of the city charter for the purpose of authorizing transportation facility fees, storm drainage facility fees, park facility fees and building and equipment fees to be assessed and levied upon the owners of residential and nonresidential property located within the city commencing the use of such property for any residential or nonresidential purpose, expanding the use of any part of the property devoted to a residential or nonresidential use, or changing the existing use of the property to a different use in order to provide all or a portion of the funds which will be necessary to construct, install or acquire the transportation facilities, storm drainage facilities, park facilities and buildings and equipment required to meet the needs of the additional persons residing or employed on the property.
(Ord. 1956 §1 (part))
In adopting this chapter, the city council finds that as a result of new development occurring on residential and nonresidential property located within the city, the city will be required to make substantial improvements to the city's transportation facilities, storm drainage facilities and park facilities; will be required to construct a number of new buildings to be used by the city in providing fire protection services, police protection services and general governmental services; and will be required to acquire a significant quantity of new equipment used in maintaining such facilities and providing such services, all in order to meet the needs of the additional persons who will reside or be employed on such property, while also maintaining existing levels of service currently provided to persons already residing or employed within the city. The city council also finds that because of existing legal constraints, it is no longer feasible to fund the cost of such facilities, buildings and equipment with local property tax revenues as was the case in years past. Accordingly, the city council finds that it is necessary and proper to authorize the transportation facility fees, storm drainage facility fees, park facility fees and building and equipment fees provided for by this chapter which will be assessed and levied on the owners of residential and nonresidential property located in the city commencing to use such property for a residential or nonresidential purpose, expanding the use of any part of the property devoted to a residential or nonresidential use, or changing the use of the property from its existing use to a different use, all at the time and in the manner provided by this chapter, and which will be used to fund construction and installation or acquisition of the transportation facilities, storm drainage facilities, park facilities and buildings and equipment required to meet the needs of the additional persons residing or employed on the property, also within the time and in the manner provided by this chapter.
(Ord. 1956 §1 (part))
At the time of establishing the amount of the transportation facility fees, storm drainage facility fees, park facility fees and/or building and equipment fees hereinafter authorized by this chapter, or at the time of increasing or decreasing such fees other than an annual adjustment to the fees made in the manner hereinafter provided by this chapter to account for inflation, the city council shall make the following findings in support of such fees:
A. Finding that such fees have been determined and calculated in the manner required by this chapter, and
B. The following additional findings required by Section 66001 of the Government Code which demonstrate that there is a nexus between the public improvements and facilities for which such fees are imposed and the need for such improvements and facilities created by the development of residential and nonresidential property within the city upon which the fees are imposed:
1. Findings which identify the purpose of the fees,
2. Findings which identify the use to which the fees are to be put,
3. Findings which demonstrate that there is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees and the type of development project on which the fees are imposed,
4. Findings which demonstrate how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities and the type of development project on which the fees are imposed, and
5. Findings which demonstrate how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fees and the cost of the public facilities or portion of the public facilities attributable to the development project on which the fees are imposed.
