The Mayor and Common Council find as follows:
(A) The development of residential, commercial, and industrial property in the City will create increased calls for fire protection services. As a result, new equipment and expansion of existing facilities to house additional fire fighters and equipment will be needed to maintain current levels of service.
(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 acquisition of new equipment and relocation, expansion, and construction of fire protection facilities are identified in the Fire Protection Facilities section of the Master Facility Plan and are necessary to provide adequate fire protection services within the City.
(D) The development impact fee report and the addendum thereto describe in detail the number of calls for service that each major category of land use generates, the fire protection facilities required to service new development, and estimates of the costs of those facilities.
(E) The entire affected territory will derive benefit from the new equipment and relocated, expanded, and newly-constructed fire station facilities 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 the addendum thereto and testimony at this public hearing, the Mayor and Common Council hereby approve the development impact fee report and the addendum thereto, and based thereon finds that new development in the City will create fire protection 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 equipment and expanded fire protection 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 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 fire protection fees collected pursuant to this chapter shall be used only to finance the fire protection facilities described or identified in the Fire Protection Facilities section of the Master Facility Plan.
(K) The fire suppression 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.
