The City Council finds as follows:
(A) The development of residential property in the affected territory will create a need for increased police protection services. As a result, additional officers will be needed to maintain the current level of service. The new officers will require, among other things, expanded station facilities and additional patrol or unmarked vehicles and additional police equipment.
(B) Pursuant to Article 11, § 7 of the California Constitution, the city is empowered to enact measures that protect the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens.
(C) The provision of expanded station facilities and vehicles is identified in the Law Enforcement Facilities section of the Master Facility Plan and is necessary to provide adequate law enforcement services within the affected territory.
(D) The development impact fee report and the addendum thereto describe in detail the number of calls for service that an average single-family or multiple-family residence generates, the law enforcement facilities required to service new development, and estimates of the costs for station facilities and vehicles to provide those services.
(E) The entire affected territory will derive benefit from the station facilities and vehicles and should be assessed per the provisions of this chapter and pay a fair share of the cost thereof based on the benefit derived therefrom.
(F) After consideration of the development impact fee report and the addendum thereto and testimony at this public hearing, the City Council hereby approves the development impact fee report and the addendum, and based thereon finds that new development in the affected territory will create law enforcement needs that the construction and acquisition of the public improvements funded by this chapter will meet.
(G) The City Council also finds that the costs of the law enforcement facilities funded by this chapter are apportioned relative to the anticipated impacts created by development within the affected territory, and that the fees are fairly apportioned on individual dwelling units throughout the affected territory on the basis of benefits conferred on property proposed for development and the need for such facilities created by the proposed development.
(H) The facts and evidence establish that there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the described public facilities and the needs created by the types of development on which the fee will be imposed, and that there is a reasonable relationship between the fee's use and the types of development for which the fee is charged. This reasonable relationship is described in more detail in the development impact fee report and the addendum thereto.
(I) The City Council also finds that the cost estimates set forth in the development impact fee report are reasonable and will not exceed the reasonably estimated total of these costs.
(J) The law enforcement facilities fees collected pursuant to this chapter shall be used only to finance the law enforcement facilities described or identified in the Law Enforcement Facilities section of the Master Facility Plan.
(K) The City Council also finds that it is necessary to exempt the affected areas described in Chapter 16.31 of the Corona Municipal Code, establishing development impact fees for the Temescal Canyon Public Safety Facility, since those fees have been adopted for the purpose of funding police and fire facilities necessary to serve the Temescal Canyon area, a separate and geographically distinct area, and it would be unfair to require properties in the Temescal Canyon area to pay additional fees for law enforcement facilities.
