16.48.100   Timing of fee payment.
   A.   Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 16.48.090, the City Council may, by resolution, authorize the payment of the fee at a time other than that identified in Section 16.48.090.
   B.   In adopting the resolution identified in subsection (A) of this section the City Council shall make the following findings:
   1.   That the state of the economy in the city is such that the deferment of the fee required by this chapter will stimulate the economy and enhance the provision of jobs; and
   2.   That the deferment of the fee required by this chapter will not materially affect the ability of the city to deliver its five-year capital improvement program.
   C.   In adopting the resolution identified in subsection (A) of this section, the City Council shall:
   1.   Identify the point in time at which the fee shall be paid; provided, that in no event shall the deferral be extended beyond the time of the final inspection or issuance of the certificate of occupancy, whichever occurs first;
   2.   Identify to which major land use category (i.e., residential, commercial, office and/or industrial) the resolution applies;
   3.   Identify whether or not a contract shall be entered into by and between the property owner, or lessee if the lessee's interest appears of record, and the city prior to the issuance of the building permit. If a contract is required to be executed, it shall be processed and recorded in accordance with Government Code Section 66007(c). In lieu of entering into a contract, if one is required, the feepayer may provide such other form of surety instrument guaranteeing payment of the fee as may be acceptable to the city engineer or his/her designees and the city attorney;
   4.   Impose a penalty, equal to one hundred (100) percent of the amount of the fees deferred on any party who fails to pay the deferred fee by the point in time specified in said resolution; and
   5.   Provide that a party who fails to pay said deferred fees by the point in time specified in said resolution shall further forfeit the future right to defer such fees on parcels in which said party has a financial interest. (Ord. 2017-01 (part), 2017)
