The City Council finds as follows.
(A) The subdivision and development of property within the South Corona area will create the need for a variety of public improvements relating to water treatment, delivery and supply to serve new residents within the South Corona area.
(B) Pursuant to California Constitution Article 11, Section 7, the city is empowered to enact measures which protect the health, safety and welfare of its citizens.
(C) A water facilities study entitled "South Corona Water Facilities Fee Study" and dated May 1, ("Water Facilities Fee Study") has been prepared by city staff. That study describes in detail the public improvements required within the South Corona area to meet water needs, contains an estimate of the total cost of constructing such facilities and contains a map showing their location.
(D) After consideration of the water fees study and testimony at this public hearing, the City Council approves the Water Facilities Fees Study and based thereon finds that new development in the South Corona area will create water supply needs which the construction of the public improvements funded by this chapter will meet.
(E) The Council also finds that the costs of the water facilities funded by this chapter are apportioned relative to the anticipated impacts created by development 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 facts and evidence presented 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 Water Facilities Fees Study.
(G) The Council also finds that the cost estimate set forth in the water facilities fees study is a reasonable cost estimate for constructing the facilities proposed therein, and the fees expected to be generated by new development will not exceed the total of these costs.
(H) The fees collected pursuant to this chapter shall be used only to finance the public facilities described or identified in the Water Facilities Fees Study.
