3.16.400. - Purpose and findings.

A. The purpose of the Park Improvement Impact Fee, The Trail Impact Fee, and The Community and Recreation Facilities Impact Fee ("Fees") is to fund construction of improvements and facilities that will be needed to mitigate the impacts of new development on city facilities, and to maintain an acceptable level of public services as the city grows.

B. The fees will be used to provide additional facilities to mitigate the impacts of new development in the city. As provided in the Mitigation Fee Act, revenue from impact fees may also be used for temporary loans from one impact fee fund or account to another. The fee study identifies facilities to be funded by the fees.

C. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees and the type of development on which they are imposed. As set forth in the fee study, fees will be used to provide additional facilities to serve the needs of additional population associated with new residential development in the city.

D. There is a reasonable relationship between the need for the facilities and the type of development on which the fees are imposed. As set forth in the fee study, residential development increases the need for park, trails, community and recreational facilities to maintain an existing level of service, and without additional facilities, the increase in population associated with new residential development would result in a reduction in the level of service provided to all residents of the city.

E. There is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fees and the facility cost attributable to the development project. As set forth in the fee study, the amount of impact fees charged to a residential development project will depend on the increase in population associated with that project, reflecting the impact of that project on the need for the facilities.

F. The fees are consistent with the city's general plan, and the city council has considered the effects of the fees with respect to the city's housing needs established in the housing element of the general plan.
