(A) The state, through the enactment of F.S. § 163.3202(3), encourages the city to enact impact fees to meet the capital facilities needs created by new development.
(B) The imposition of impact fees is one of the preferred methods of ensuring that new development bears a proportionate share of the cost of capital facilities necessary to accommodate such development. Allocation of a proportionate share of costs promotes and protects the public health, safety and general welfare of the residents of the city.
(C) Each of the types of land uses described in the schedule of impact fees hereof shall create demands for the acquisition of, or expansion of, municipal services facilities and the construction of municipal services capital improvements.
(D) The report entitled “City of Mexico Beach, Municipal Services Impact Fee Study”, dated February 22, 2005, sets forth a reasonable methodology and analysis for the determination of the impact of new development on the need for and costs of additional municipal recreational, police and fire/rescue services capital facilities in the city.
