Yucca Valley Municipal Code Ch. 3.30 Private Land Development Reimbursements

The Town will be constructing various improvements in the public rights of way throughout the Town. The Town will be expending funds for various public improvements including streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, traffic signals, street lights, street trees and other necessary public infrastructure improvements. The improvements will be constructed which abut both undeveloped and developed properties. (Ord. 14, 5-7-1992)

Where the Town has caused the construction and installation of public improvements abutting undeveloped properties, no land use development application or building permit shall be approved prior to the payment of costs associated with the improvements abutting the undeveloped property. No person shall be permitted to develop such property until such property owner has paid to the Town the proportionate share of the costs of the public improvements; and no application, either by petition or otherwise, shall be approved by the Town Council, Planning Commission or Town staff for the building and/or development of such property until the property owners to be benefitted or a sufficient number thereof shall have paid to the Town such proportionate shares of the costs of the public improvements. The payments shall be based upon the property owner's proportionate share of actual costs as established by the Town Council in compliance with applicable law, and which are retained in permanent Town files for the public improvements abutting each individual real property, as calculated by the Town Engineer. Such payments shall be in addition to any fee prescribed by an ordinance or resolution of the Town. (Ord. 14, 5-7-1992)

Any payments received from real property owners to reimburse the Town as prescribed by this Chapter, shall be deposited into the account from which the original construction funds were expended. The funds may be allocated from the general fund, gas tax funds, Measure 1 funds, or any other funds as approved by the Town Council. (Ord. 14, 5-7-1992)
