A. 
Title. This chapter will be known as the "Emergency Medical and Fire Protection Service Funding" ordinance.
B. 
Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to ensure sufficient financing of emergency medical and fire protection services to serve new development in the city.
(Ord. 1028 § 2, 2021)
A. 
This chapter will apply to all development in the city that triggers an additional demand for emergency medical and fire protection services.
B. 
Residential development triggers additional demand for emergency medical and fire protection services when a proposed increase in the number of dwelling units requires a building permit.
C. 
Nonresidential development triggers additional demand for emergency medical and fire protection services when an increase in floor area over two thousand square feet or a new building over two thousand square feet requires a building permit.
(Ord. 1028 § 2, 2021)
A. 
Before the issuance of a building permit, any development subject to this chapter will be annexed to a community facilities district that imposes a special tax for emergency medical and fire protection services as well as any other financing districts that may apply under conditions of project approval or other local, state, or federal law.
B. 
Should any tax or other fiscal mitigation measure made applicable to a development under this chapter expire, lapse, or be repealed by initiative or otherwise, the service provider may reduce emergency medical and fire protection services to that development as necessary to reflect the loss of the associated revenues.
C. 
The city may impose the requirements of this section as a condition of approval of any application for development under this title and the community development department will enforce the requirements upon issuance of building permits whether or not any discretionary approval is required for a particular development.
(Ord. 1028 § 2, 2021)
Any tax, fee or other fiscal mitigation required by this chapter may be reduced or waived on appropriate facts pursuant to Section 16.130.060 of this code.
