Chapter 15.28

CONSTRUCTION OF DWELLING UNITS AND MOBILEHOME LOTS

Every person constructing any new dwelling unit or mobilehome lot in the City shall pay to the City a fee for capital outlay purposes. The fee shall be established by resolution of the City Council.

(Ord. 112-73 § 1, 1973; Ord. 112.1-74 § 1, 1974; Ord. 164-78 § 1, 1978; Ord. 194-80 § 2, 1980)

The fees shall be due and payable upon application to the City for a building permit for the construction of any such dwelling unit or mobilehome lot; provided, however, that there shall be a refund of such fees in the event the building permit is not approved, or is not used, for such construction.

(Ord. 112-73 § 2, 1973)

"Person" includes every person, firm, or corporation constructing a dwelling unit or mobilehome lot itself or through the services of any employee, agent or independent contractor.

"Dwelling unit" includes each single-family dwelling and each separate habitation unit of an apartment duplex or multiple dwelling structure designated as a separate habitation for one or more person although a part of the same building or structure.

"Mobilehome" means a vehicle other than motor vehicle, designed or used for residential purposes, for carrying persons and property on its own structure, and for being drawn by a motor vehicle.

"Mobilehome park" means any area or tract of land containing one or more mobilehome lots.

"Mobilehome lot" means any area or portion of a mobilehome park designated, designed or used for the occupancy of one mobilehome on a temporary semipermanent or permanent basic. (Ord. 112-73 § 3, 1973)

All of the sums collected pursuant to this chapter shall be deposited in the capital outlay fund and shall be used solely for capital expenditures as needed. (Ord. 112-73 § 4, 1973)

The City Council hereby declares that the fees required to be paid hereby are assessed pursuant to the taxing power of the City and solely for the purpose of producing revenue. The continued increase in the development of dwelling units in the City with the attendant increase to the population of the City has created an urgency in that there are insufficient funds available for the increased demand for capital items required to serve the increasing population of the City. (Ord. 112-73 § 5, 1973)

The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to any new dwelling unit in the City that is constructed as part of a subdivision to which Union City Ordinance No. 62-65 as amended, commonly known as the "Union City Park Dedication Ordinance" has been applied. This exemption shall not apply to any dwelling unit that is exempted from the provisions of Ordinance No. 62-65 as amended by the provisions of said ordinance or by the laws of the State of California.
