The City Council finds as follows.
(A) The subdivision and development of property within the South Corona area will create a need for and will require the construction of planned sanitary sewer facilities for local sanitary sewer areas.
(B) Pursuant to Cal. Gov’t Code § 66483 and the city’s police powers, the city may impose by ordinance a requirement for the payment of fees for the purpose of paying for the actual or estimated costs of constructing planned sanitary sewer facilities for local sanitary sewer areas.
(C) A sanitary sewer facility plan entitled "South Corona Sewer Facilities Plan" and dated May 1, 1989 ("Sewer Plan") has been prepared by the city staff. That plan describes in detail the sanitary sewer facilities which are required for the area contains an estimate of the total cost of constructing the local sanitary sewer facilities required by the plan and contains a map of such area showing its boundaries and the location of such facilities.
(D) After considering the Sewer Plan and the testimony received at this public hearing, the Council approves the Sewer Plan and based thereon finds that new development in the South Corona area will create additional sewage impacts and will contribute to the degradation of existing sanitary sewer system in the South Corona area.
(E) The Council also finds that the costs of the sanitary sewer facilities funded by this chapter are apportioned relative to the anticipated contribution to sewage flows created by improvements within the South Corona area, and that the fees are fairly apportioned throughout the South Corona area on the basis of benefits conferred on property proposed for development or the need for such facilities created by the proposed development.
(F) The Council also finds that the fee as to any property proposed for subdivision within such a local area represents and does not exceed the fair share of the amount of the total actual or estimated cost of all sanitary sewer facilities within such area as required by Cal. Gov’t Code § 66483(e).
(G) The Council also finds that the facts and evidence presented establish that there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the described public facilities and the impacts of 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 city’s Sewer Plan.
(H) The Council also finds that the cost estimate set forth in the Sewer Plan is a reasonable cost estimate for constructing the sanitary sewer facilities proposed therein, and the fees expected to be generated by new development will not exceed the total of these costs.
(I) The sanitary sewer facilities fees collected pursuant to this chapter shall be used only to finance the public facilities described or identified in the Sewer Plan.
(J) The County of Riverside does not have a county-wide general sanitary sewer facilities plan. Therefore, neither the county nor the district need make findings pursuant to Cal. Gov’t Code § 66483(c).
