3.27.030 Law enforcement facilities, vehicles, and equipment impact fee - findings
The Mayor and Common Council find as follows:
   (A)   The development of residential, commercial, and industrial property in the affected territory will create a need for increased police protection services. As a result, additional officers will be needed to maintain the current level of service. The new officers will require, among other things, expanded station facilities and additional patrol or unmarked vehicles and additional police equipment.
   (B)   Pursuant to Article 11, Section 7 of the California Constitution, the City is empowered to enact measures that protect the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens.
   (C)   The provision of expanded station facilities and vehicles is identified in the Law Enforcement Facilities section of the Master Facility Plan and is necessary to provide adequate law enforcement services.
   (D)   The development impact fee report describes in detail the number of calls for service that each major category of land use generates on average, the law enforcement facilities, vehicles, and equipment required to service new development, and estimates of the costs for capital to provide those services.
   (E)   The entire affected territory will derive benefit from the station facilities and vehicles and should be assessed per the provisions of this chapter and pay a fair share of the cost thereof based on the benefit derived therefrom.
   (F)   After consideration of the development impact fee report and testimony at this public hearing, the Mayor and Common Council hereby approve the development impact fee report and the addendum, and based thereon finds that new development in the affected territory will create law enforcement needs that the construction and acquisition of the public improvements funded by this chapter will meet.
   (G)   The Mayor and Common Council also find that the costs of the law enforcement facilities funded by this chapter are apportioned relative to the anticipated impacts created by development within the affected territory, and that the fees are fairly apportioned on individual dwelling units and per square foot throughout the affected territory on the basis of benefits conferred on property proposed for development and the need for such facilities created by the proposed development.
   (H)   The facts and evidence establish that there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the described public facilities and the needs created by the types of development on which the fee will be imposed, and that there is a reasonable relationship between the fee's use and the types of development for which the fee is charged. This reasonable relationship is described in more detail in the development impact fee report and the addendum thereto.
   (I)   The Mayor and Common Council also find that the cost estimates set forth in the development impact fee report are reasonable and will not exceed the reasonably estimated total of these costs.
   (J)   The law enforcement facilities fees collected pursuant to this chapter shall be used only to finance the law enforcement facilities described or identified in the Law Enforcement Facilities section of the Master Facility Plan.
   (K)   The law enforcement facilities fee is hereby imposed on new residential, commercial, and industrial development and the amount of such fee shall be set by resolution of the Mayor and Common Council.
