(A) General. The amount and the calculation of the capital facilities fee shall be established by City Council resolution and is based upon the following considerations:
(1) Each type of development will pay only for construction of those public facilities where there is a reasonable relationship between the facilities funded and the capital facility needs created by the new development.
(2) Each type of development shall contribute to the funding of the needed facilities in proportion to the need for the facilities created by that type of development.
(B) Type of development.
(1) The categories of land uses for which the fee will be charged are:
(a) Single-family dwelling;
(b) Multi-family dwelling;
(c) Commercial development; and
(d) Industrial development.
(2) The fee is based on the estimated level of public services needed, generated by and used by each category of use.
(C) Fee unit.
(1) Residential. A specific CFF amount, established for each residential density type in this chapter, shall be charged for each new dwelling unit.
(2) Commercial and industrial. A specific CFF amount, established for each commercial and industrial development, shall be charged for each square foot of commercial and industrial development, respectively.
(D) Capital facilities improvements. The fee shall be based on the percentage of the cost of the capital facilities improvements attributable to new residential, industrial and commercial development as determined in the Technical Report. The improvements included in the total cost are set forth in that report and do not and shall not include the costs of improvements needed to alleviate existing deficiencies in the city's capital facilities, if any exist.
(E) Amount of fee—formula.
(1) The amount of the fee shall be established by resolution and may be amended from time to time. The fee shall be determined as follows:
(a) Estimate total capital facilities costs attributable to each type of new commercial, industrial and residential development;
(b) Divide the cost attributable to new single-family development by the total number of new single-family dwelling units expected under build out of the city's General Plan. The result is the capital facilities fee to be charged on the development of each new single-family dwelling unit in the city.
(c) Divide the cost attributable to new multi-family development by the total, number of new multi-family dwelling units expected under build out of the city's General Plan. The result is the capital facilities fee to be charged on the development of each new multi-family dwelling unit in the city.
(d) Divide the cost attributable to new commercial development by the total number of new commercial square feet expected under build out of the city's General Plan. The result is the CFF to be charged on the development of each new square foot of commercial development in the city.
(e) Divide the cost attributable to new industrial development by the total number of new industrial square feet expected under build out of the city's General Plan. The result is the CFF to be charged on the development of each new square foot of industrial development in the city.
(2) Fee estimates are included in the Technical Report and shall be updated periodically to reflect changes in construction costs, development schedules, availability of other funds and other factors.
