A. The
people of the City of Roseville find that the growth of the city and
new construction adversely affect the ability of the Roseville fire
department to provide an adequate level of service. Much of the new
construction is taking place in areas beyond those which can be served
within established maximum response times from existing fire stations.
As a result, the public safety and welfare is directly impacted and
a critical need for new fire facilities and equipment has arisen.
B. It is
the purpose of this chapter to require that new construction within
the city contribute to the cost of providing the new fire service
facilities and equipment for which it creates a need.
(Res. 84-225 § 4 (Exhibit B),
1984)
A. A tax of one-half of one percent of the valuation of any structure for which a building permit is required pursuant to Chapter
16.04 is imposed upon the application for such permit.
B. The
tax shall be determined by multiplying 0.005 by the valuation of the
structure for which application is made, as determined pursuant to
Section 16.04.040(A)(3)(c). It shall be due and payable at the time
of application for the permit, and as a condition for issuance of
the permit as a tax on the privilege of obtaining a building permit.
C. The
tax revenues shall be placed in a separate fund to be known as the
“fire facilities and equipment fund,” and such revenues
shall be used only for the purpose of funding construction, reconstruction,
or repair of fire facilities, or the acquisition, repair, or maintenance
of fire equipment.
(Res. 84-225 § 4 (Exhibit B),
1984)
The tax imposed by Section
4.46.020 shall not apply to the following:
A. A building
permit for construction where the work to be done pursuant to the
permit will not increase the square footage of the existing structure
by more than 20 percent;
B. A building
permit for nonhabitable structures, provided such structures are situated
on a parcel of land occupied by a habitable structure in a residential
zone;
C. A building
permit for reconstruction or repair of any structure which was damaged
by earthquake, fire, flood or other causes over which the owner had
no control; provided, however, that compliance with any ordinance
as required by the laws in effect and the reconstruction cost does
not exceed 50 percent of the value of the structure. The exception
of this subsection for reconstruction or repair shall only apply if
such reconstruction or repair is done pursuant to a building permit
issued within one year of such damage or destruction and provided
that the number of square feet in the building or structure is not
increased;
D. A building
permit for a one-family or two-family structure on subdivided lots
created prior to 1967.
(Res. 84-225 § 4 (Exhibit B),
1984)
This chapter shall be in effect until the city council shall
by ordinance repeal it, or until and through December 31, 2009, whichever
occurs first.
