* Prior ordinance history: Ord. 182.
A. The city council finds that Murrieta is a rapidly growing city. The city's population has the potential to grow from a current population of about forty thousand (40,000) to approximately one hundred two thousand (102,000) at build out. This increase in population is reasonably expected to create a substantial increase in the demand placed upon public facilities. The city's existing public facilities will soon become inadequate to handle the projected population growth at existing levels of service. In order to serve the projected population growth, public facilities must be expanded.
B. It is the intent of the city to require every person who develops land to mitigate the impacts of that development on the city's public facilities. The city will therefore require developers to pay a public facilities development impact fee that will assist in meeting the demand for public facilities caused by development. The public facilities will be constructed in accordance with a capital improvement plan adopted by resolution of the city council.
C. The amount of the public facilities development impact fees collected pursuant to this chapter shall be limited to the cost of public facilities attributable to new development. The amount of the public facilities development impact fees collected shall not include the cost of public facilities that serve existing development.
(Ord. 196 § 1 (part), 1998)
A. A developer shall pay a public facilities development impact fee for each building which is part of a residential development, in an amount established by resolution of the city council, upon issuance of a building permit for that building; provided, however, that if a residential development contains more than one dwelling, the development services director may determine whether the fees or charges shall be paid on a pro rata basis for each dwelling when it receives its building permit, on a pro rata basis when a certain percentage of the dwellings have received their building permits, or on a lump-sum basis when the first dwelling in the development receives its building permit. If the required fee is not fully paid prior to issuance of a building permit for construction of any portion of the residential development encumbered thereby, the development services director may require the property owner, or lessee if the lessee's interest appears of record, as a condition of issuance of the building permit, to execute a contract to pay the fee or charge, or applicable portion thereof, within the time specified above. The contract shall be recorded with the Riverside County re-corder and shall constitute a lien for the payment of the fee.
(Ord. 196 § I (part), 1998)
A. Except as provided in Sections 16.36.040 and 16.36.050, a developer shall pay a public facilities development impact fee for each building in a non-residential development or new square footage of a building in a non-residential development, in an amount established by resolution of the city council, prior to issuance of a building permit for that building. Construction which does not result in new square footage shall not be subject to a public facilities development impact fee.
B. Notwithstanding subsection A of this section, a building permit may be issued to a developer prior to payment of a public facilities development impact fee, if the developer qualifies as any nonprofit organization that is exempted from taxes by Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. If, pursuant to this paragraph, the required fee is not fully paid prior to issuance of a building permit for construction of any portion of the non-residential development encumbered thereby, the development services director may re-quire the property owner, or lessee if the lessee's interest appears of record, as a condition of issuance of the building permit, to execute a contract to pay the fee or charge, or applicable portion thereof, upon transfer of the non-residential development, or the applicable portion thereof, to a purchaser that does not qualify as a nonprofit organization that is exempted from taxes by Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The contract shall be recorded with the Riverside County recorder and shall constitute a lien for the payment of the fee.
