The master plan of drainage which is adopted pursuant to city council resolution is the city's master plan of drainage and a portion of the public services and facilities element of the general plan of the city. A copy of the master plan of drainage is made a part of this chapter by reference.
(Ord. 896 § 2, 1980)
There is created a separate fund which shall be known as the "planned local drainage facilities fund." Moneys in such fund shall be expended solely for the construction or reimbursement of local drainage facilities construction.
(Ord. 896 § 2, 1980)
(a) 
There is established a drainage annexation fee in order to implement the goals and objectives of the master drainage plan and to mitigate water runoff impacts of new development in the drainage area. The city council has determined that a development impact fee is needed in order to finance these public improvements and to pay for the development's fair share of improvements.
(b) 
The city council shall, by resolution, set forth the specific amount of the fee, describe the benefit and impact area on which the development fee is imposed, list the specific public improvements to be financed, describe the estimated cost of these facilities, describe the reasonable relationship between this fee and the various types of new developments.
(c) 
The revenues raised by payment of this fee shall be placed in a separate and special account and such revenues, along with any interest earnings on that account, shall be used solely to:
(1) 
Pay for the city's future construction of facilities described in the resolution enacted pursuant to (b) above, or to reimburse the city for those described or listed facilities constructed by the city with funds advanced by the city from other sources; or
(2) 
Reimburse developers who have been required or permitted to install such listed facilities which are oversized with supplemental size, length or capacity.
(d) 
A developer of any project subject to the fee described in subsection (b) may apply to the city council for a reduction or adjustment to that fee, or a waiver of that fee, based upon the absence of any reasonable relationship or nexus between the water runoff impacts of that development and either the amount of the fee charged or the type of facilities to be financed. The application shall be made in writing and filed with the city clerk no later than (1) ten days prior to the public hearing on the development permit application for the project, or (2) if no development permit is required, at the time of the filing of the request for a building permit. The application shall state in detail the factual basis for the claim of waiver, reduction or adjustment. The city council shall consider the application at the public hearing on the permit application or at a separate hearing held within sixty days after the filing of the fee adjustment application, whichever is later. The decision of the city council shall be final. If a reduction, adjustment or waiver is granted, any change in use within the project shall invalidate the waiver, adjustment or reduction of the fee.
(Ord. 896 § 2, 1980; Ord. 1132 § 1, 1989)
This chapter shall apply to all subdivisions of land and the development of all land within the drainage area, excepting therefrom land owned by the United States government.
