The purpose of this chapter is to provide funding for a portion of the cost of preparation and implementation of plans for the preservation of threatened and endangered species, including the preparation of habitat conservation plans and the acquisition of habitat reserve sites. It is the intent of the City Council that development fees collected pursuant to this chapter, together with other city resources, fees collected by other jurisdictions and state and federal contributions will together serve to mitigate the impacts of development upon threatened and endangered species and to preserve for future generations species which are at risk of becoming extinct.
