SUPPLEMENTAL IMPROVEMENTS, REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS, AND DEFERRED IMPROVEMENTS

• A. In accordance with Government Code Section 66485 et seq., the city may, by resolution, require that improvements installed by a subdivider for the benefit of a land division shall contain supplemental size, capacity, length or number for the benefit of property not located within the land division, and that such improvements be dedicated to the public.

• B. In the event of the installation of improvements required by the city pursuant to subsection A of this section, the city shall enter into an agreement with the subdivider to reimburse the subdivider for that portion of the cost of such improvements, including an amount attributable to interest, equal to the difference between the amount it would have cost the subdivider to install such improvements to serve the land division only and the actual cost of such improvements.

• C. In order to pay the costs as required by the reimbursement agreement, the city may:

  1. Collect from other persons, including public agencies, using such improvements for the benefit of real property not within the land division, a reasonable charge for such use;

  2. Contribute to the subdivider that part of the cost of the improvements that is attributable to the benefits of the real property outside the land division and levy a charge upon the real property benefited to reimburse itself for such cost, together with interest thereon, if any, paid to the subdivider;

  3. Establish and maintain local benefit districts for the levy and collection of such charges or costs from the property benefited.
