The purpose of this chapter is to impose the City Hall facilities development impact fees. The city council enacts this chapter in accordance with the authority granted to cities by Article
XI, Section 7, of the California Constitution.
(Ord. 06-2 § 1)
The city council of the city of West Sacramento, California
(also referred to as the "city") finds and determines as follows:
A. Growth
of the city and new construction adversely affect the ability of the
West Sacramento City Hall facility to provide an adequate level of
service.
B. As
a result, the services are directly impacted and a critical need for
additional facilities as an addition to the existing City Hall building
and equipment has arisen.
C. To
mitigate this condition, this chapter shall require that new construction
within the city of West Sacramento contribute to the cost of providing
the new City Hall facilities and equipment for which it creates a
need.
D. Government
Code Section 66000, and following, provides substantive requirements
and conditions which must be met before establishing, increasing,
or imposing a fee as a condition of approval of a development project.
E. Proposition
218, adding Articles XIII C and XIII D to the California Constitution,
provides that developer fees shall not be affected in any way by the
proposition.
