A. It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to require a building permittee or parking facility permittee to dedicate property for street purposes and to improve such dedicated property in accordance with the requirements and standards set forth herein. The council finds and determines that the regulations set forth in this chapter are both reasonable and necessary for the following reasons:
1. The population growth and industrial growth of the Sacramento metropolitan area over the past decades has been accompanied by an even greater increase in the number of vehicles used on the streets within the city with resulting street and highway deficiencies; and
2. Plans for the improvements of streets within the city have been prepared but that the lack of public funds for the implementation of such plans has prevented the attainment of goals set forth therein and will prevent their attainment for decades in the future; and
3. The improvement and development of property for uses other than those set forth in section 17.502.040 generate an increase of traffic in the immediate vicinity of such property and that the improvements of such streets confer a direct benefit upon the owners and users of the developed property.
B. Definitions. The following definitions shall apply to this chapter:
1. "Adopted street standards" means the standard street sections adopted on October 9, 1998, by city council Resolution 98-510.
2. "Right-of-way guidelines" means the right-of-way width guidelines adopted on May 6, 1999, by city council Resolution 99-209. (Ord. 2017-0009 § 11)
