Sec. 21-72. - Findings of fact.

The board of supervisors finds that the development of property other than by means of a subdivision will contribute to the drainage, flood control and erosion problems of the areas specified in the drainage elements referred to in ordinances enacted under the State Business and Professions Code, section 11543.5. The board further finds that the development of land other than by subdivision will contribute to the drainage, flood control and erosion problems in the same relative proportions as the lands developed by subdivision. The board further finds that the development will require construction of the facilities described in the drainage element of the county master plan. The board further finds that the fees, as

hereinafter specified, are fairly apportioned within the local drainage areas on the basis of benefits conferred on property proposed to be developed and on the need for local drainage facilities created by the proposed development within the local drainage area. The board further finds that the fees, as hereinafter specified, do not exceed, as to any property proposed to be developed within the local drainage area, the pro ratashare of the amount of the total actual or estimated cost of all facilities within the local drainage area which would be assessable on such property if such costs were apportioned uniformly on a per acre basis.
