25-32.3: ACREAGE FEE:

A. Purpose: In order to implement the goals and objectives of the water system master plan of the city, and to provide needed water facilities for new development in the planning area, certain public water facilities must be constructed. The city council has determined that a development impact fee is needed in order to finance these public improvements and to pay for the development's fair share of the construction costs of these improvements. In establishing the fee described in the following subsections, the city council has found the fee to be consistent with its general plan and, pursuant to Government Code section 65913.2, has considered the effects of the fee with respect to the city's housing needs as established in the housing element of the general plan.

B. Established: An acreage fee is hereby established upon issuance of certificate of occupancy for development in the city, or upon connection to the city water system to pay for water system improvements. The city council shall, in a council resolution, set forth the specific amount of the fee, describe the benefit and impact area on which the development fee is imposed, list the specific public improvements to be financed, describe the estimated cost of these facilities, describe the reasonable relationships between this fee and the various types of new development and set forth time for payment. As described in the fee resolution, this development fee shall be paid by each developer upon issuance of certificate of occupancy or connection to the water system. On an annual basis, this fee shall be adjusted by the public works director department in accordance with the "Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index" publication.

C. Limited Use Of Fees: The revenues raised by payment of this fee shall be placed in a separate and special account and such revenues, along with any interest earnings on that account, shall be used solely to:

1. Pay for the city's future construction of water facilities described in the resolution enacted with this section, or to reimburse the

city for those described or listed facilities constructed by the city with funds advanced by the city from other sources; or

2. Reimburse developers who have been required or permitted as set forth below, to install such listed facilities which are oversized

with supplemental size, length, or capacity. (Ord. 1754, 6-2-2009)
