The purpose of this chapter is to assess impact fees upon new development and a volumetric fee upon existing urban water supplies to fund programs to mitigate the impact of such new development and existing water extractions upon conditions of groundwater overdraft. Specifically, this chapter is intended to fund activities and projects to mitigate impacts to conditions of groundwater overdraft. Such activities will include, but not be limited to, the following:
A. Acquisition of surface water rights and surface water supplies.
B. Development of groundwater recharge facilities.
C. Reconfiguration of stormwater facilities designed to retain as much stormwater as possible within and near the city.
D. Enhancement of cooperative programs with local water management agencies and companies.
E. Development of more efficient water delivery systems. (Ord. 2017-01 (part), 2017: Ord. 2005-09 § 2 (part), 2005)
