A.
In
order to implement the goals and objectives of the county general
plan and to mitigate impacts caused by new development within the
county, public facilities fees are necessary. The fees are needed
to finance public facilities and to assure that new development pays
its fair share for these improvements.
B.
Title 7, Chapter 5, Sections 66000 et seq. of the California Government Code provides that public facilities fees may be enacted and imposed on development projects. The board of supervisors finds and determines that:
1.
New
development projects cause the need for construction, expansion or
improvement of public facilities within the county;
2.
Funds
for construction, expansion or improvement of public facilities are
not available to accommodate needs caused by development projects
which results in inadequate public facilities within Stanislaus County;
C.
The
board of supervisors finds that the public health, safety, peace,
morals, convenience, comfort, prosperity and general welfare will
be promoted by the adoption of public facilities fees for construction,
expansion or improvement of public facilities;
D.
Failure
to enact public facility fees will subject county residents to conditions
perilous to their health and/or safety.
(Ord. 360 §1, 1989)
The public facility fees enacted pursuant to this title are
to be collected before the issuance of building permits or at the
earliest time permitted by law as determined by the chief building
official.
(Ord. 360 §1, 1989)
This title is adopted under the authority of Title 7, Chapter 5 of the California Government Code Sections 66000 et seq.
(Ord. 360 §1, 1989)
