Brawley Municipal Code Art. VIII Planning and Development Fund

A fee is imposed upon the annexation of land to the city at the rate of five hundred dollars per acre.

(Ord. No. 644, § 1.)

In the event water and/or sewage service is granted to a user outside the city limits of Brawley upon the standard written agreement that the landowner shall annex the land upon the request of city, then the annexation fees shall be paid to the city in five equal annual installments with the first such installment to be paid at the commencement of water and/or sewage service, or at the option of the landowner, such fees may be paid in sixty equal monthly installments with and in addition to the monthly water and/or sewage service charges. In the event the land is annexed prior to payment of the annexation fees in full, the balance shall be due and payable upon annexation.

In the event the parcel of land to which such water and/or sewage service is granted is in excess of one acre in size, and such water and/or sewage service is to be used only to serve a parcel one acre or less in size, only the annexation fee for such one acre shall be paid at the commencement of service. Extension of such water and/or sewage service for other than such one acre parcel shall only be permitted in additional increments of one acre or more and shall require the prior consent of the city. Upon the extension of such services, the payment of annexation fees as then applicable shall be required for such additional area to be serviced.

(Ord. No. 644, § 1.5; Ord. No. 672, § 1: Ord. No. 689 § 1; Ord. No. 705 § 1.)

One-half of such fees shall be deposited in a special fund established and known as the planning and development fund and which is to be used to defray the costs of future planning for the city.

(Ord. No. 644, § 2.)
