The fee imposed by this chapter shall be applicable to all developments in the City that require a building permit and add new residential or nonresidential building square footage. The fee shall be calculated by reference to the square footage added by the new development.

(§ 2, Ord. No. 883-C.S., eff. July 27, 2022)

(a) The rate of the fee shall be established from time to time by resolution of the City Council in the manner required by Government Code Sections 66000 et. seq.

(b) Beginning July 2023 and on each July 1 thereafter, the rate of the fee shall increase without further action by the city according to the following formula:
