The City Council finds as follows:
(A) The development of residential and other property in the affected territory will create a need for the construction of park, recreation, and open space facilities to maintain the current level of service.
(B) Pursuant to Cal. Government Code §§ 66000 et seq., and the city's police powers, the city may impose by ordinance a requirement for the payment of fees to pay for the actual or estimated costs of constructing planned park, recreation, and open space facilities.
(C) 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.
(D) Parks, recreation, and open space facilities are essential to Corona to mitigate the negative effects of increasing urban development and to promote the health and welfare of the citizens.
(E) The provision of additional parks, recreation, and opera space is identified in the Parkland Acquisition and Development section of the Master Facility Plan and is necessary to provide adequate parks and recreation facilities within the city.
(F) The development impact fee report and addendum thereto describe in detail the current city standards for park, recreation, and open space facilities, the cost for park, recreation, and open space facilities construction, and the cost thereof per new single-family, multiple-family, mobile home park residential unit, and commercial/industrial square footage.
(G) The entire affected territory will derive benefit from the parks and recreation facilities 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.
(H) After consideration of the development impact fee report, the addendum thereto and testimony at this public hearing, the City Council hereby approves the development impact fee report and the addendum thereto, and based thereon finds that new development in the affected territory will create needs for park, recreation, and open space facilities that the construction and acquisition of the public improvements funded by this chapter will meet.
(I) The costs of the park, recreation, and open space 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 and commercial/industrial square footage throughout the affected territory on the basis of benefits conferred on property proposed for development and the need for such facilities created by such proposed development.
(J) 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.
(K) The cost estimates set forth in the development impact fee report are reasonable and will not exceed the reasonably estimated total of these costs.
(L) The park, recreation, and open space facilities fees collected pursuant to this chapter shall be used only to finance the park, recreation, and open space facilities described or identified in the Parkland Acquisition and Development Facilities section of the Master Facility Plan.
