Chapter 2 — LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS

The reports (defined in CMC § 11300), which have been approved and adopted by the City, establish:

1. The need for and nexus to required public facilities throughout the City;

2. The total cost of such public facilities;

3. The allocation of such cost among the development types;

4. Formulas based on the development type to determine the amount of fees payable for each such type of development;

5. Maximum fees to impose upon each development type;

6. The relationship between the use of the fees and the type of uses within development projects on which the fees are imposed;

7. The relationship between the need for such public facilities and the type of uses within development projects on which the fees are imposed;

8. The reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development upon which the fee is imposed; and

9. The reasonable cost of constructing and installing such public facilities. (Ord. 19-1931 § 2)

New development generates impacts on public facilities and community amenities for which revenues generated through property taxes are generally insufficient to accommodate. If additional capital facilities and public services are not added as development occurs, the existing facilities and services will not be adequate to serve the community. In order to avoid detrimental impacts new development will impose on the City's existing facilities, and to address new development's resulting demands for new public facilities, the City needs public facilities to accommodate the expected growth.

(Ord. 19-1931 § 2)

The City Council has determined, based on the reports, as well as substantial evidence submitted in a public hearing before the City Council, that interim development impact fees are needed Citywide in order to finance these public facilities and to allocate the cost of public facilities to each development project.
