(A) Each district which requests a fire mitigation fee shall establish that there is a need in the district for fire capital facilities based on new development and its cumulative effect, which facilities have not been constructed or purchased and to which new development has not contributed its fair share. Furthermore, the facilities must have been called for in, or are consistent with, the district’s capital facilities and equipment plan. The need for the facilities or equipment shall be established by an appropriate study.
(B) The cost estimates set forth in a study by each district shall show that they are reasonable cost estimates for constructing or replacing these facilities, and the fees expected to be generated by new development will not exceed the total of these costs.
(C) The fire mitigation fees collected pursuant to this article shall be used to finance only the public facilities described or identified in a fire capital facilities and equipment plan prepared in any district which wishes to have the county impose a fire mitigation fee on a new development within its district boundaries.
