DIVISION 2. PLANNED DRAINAGE FACILITIES FEES

SEC. 15-185. PURPOSE.

   This division imposes fees to defray actual or estimated costs of constructing planned drainage facilities for the removal of surface and storm water, as required by a development project.

(`64 Code, Sec. 27-89.22) (Ord. No. 2258, 2979)

SEC. 15-186. MASTER PLAN OF DRAINAGE FACILITIES.

   The master plan of drainage for the city contains an estimate of the total costs of constructing the drainage facilities required by the plan and a map of the area covered by the plan, showing the location of the facilities. The fees imposed by this division shall be based on the master plan of drainage and the development impact fee nexus study. The costs estimated in the master plan of drainage shall be adjusted to reflect current costs.

(`64 Code, Sec. 27-89.23) (Ord. No. 2258, 2979)

SEC. 15-187. IMPOSITION OF FEES.

   The approval of each development project resulting in storm water runoff shall be conditioned on the payment of fees to carry out the purpose of this division.

(`64 Code, Sec. 27-89.22) (Ord. No. 2258, 2979)

SEC. 15-188. USE OF FEES.

   The fees collected shall be used to pay for the drainage facilities necessary to mitigate new development’s impact on the storm drainage system.

(`64 Code, Sec. 27-89.23) (Ord. No. 2258, 2979)

SEC. 15-189. REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP.

   (A)   There is a reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed, and between the need for the drainage facilities financed by the fee and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed in that all types of development projects subject to the fee result in greater storm runoff, which requires more or higher capacity drainage facilities.

   (B)   There is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the drainage facilities or portion thereof attributable to the development project on which the fee is imposed in that the cost estimates used to calculate the fee shall be reasonable cost estimates for constructing the drainage facilities identified, the total fees to be imposed shall not exceed the total of the cost estimates, and the fees to be imposed on a particular development project shall not exceed the project’s proportionate share of the cost of the facilities that are necessary to serve the development project.
