A. 
The Sacramento County General Plan requires that areas chosen for urban expansion shall be capable of being provided within a reasonable period of time with an adequate level of public facilities; including, but not limited to: (1) park facilities; (2) roadway facilities; and (3) transit facilities.
B. 
The General Plan further requires the preparation of a plan that identifies a mechanism for financing those facilities necessary to serve urban development in areas designated for urban expansion.

C. 
The purpose of this chapter is to implement the General Plan requirements set forth in subsections A and B of this section and to use the authority in Article XI, Section 7 of the California Constitution by imposing development impact fees to fund the cost of certain facilities, the need for which is directly or indirectly generated by the type and level of development proposed in the North Vineyard Station Specific Plan (NVSSP) Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP), as it may be amended from time to time (hereinafter in some instances referred to as NVSSP area or PFFP area).
D. 
It is the further purpose of this chapter to require that adequate provision is made for developer financed facilities within the NVSSP area as a condition to any rezoning and prior to approval of certain permits within said area.

Beginning March 31, 2014, and subsequently each year on March 1st, or as soon as possible thereafter, the Administrator shall authorize the adjustment of the program fee per development unit for each type of development in each fee category as follows:
A. 
A "mean" index will be computed by averaging the index for 20 U.S. Cities with the index for San Francisco by resort to the January issue of the Engineering News Record magazine Construction Cost Index of the year in which the calculation is being made.
B. 
An adjustment factor shall be computed by dividing the "mean" index as calculated in subsection A of this section by the "mean" index for the previous January, however, the March 2014 adjustment factor shall be computed by dividing the "mean" index as calculated in subsection A of this section by the "mean" index for January 2013, and, if a new program fee has been adopted after January of the previous year, the adjustment factor shall be computed by dividing the "mean" index from the month that the fee was adopted.
C. 
The adjusted program fee per development unit shall be calculated by multiplying the adjustment factor, as calculated in subsection B of this section, by the program fee per development unit in place prior to the annual adjustment.
D. 
The estimated cost of the facilities used in the capital improvement program and for calculating credits and reimbursements pursuant to Sections 16.81.160, 16.81.170 and 16.81.180 shall be adjusted using the same adjustment factor pursuant to subsections A, B and C of this section.

This chapter is intended to establish a supplemental method for funding the cost of certain facilities the need for which will be generated by the level and type of development proposed in the North Vineyard Station Specific Plan. The provisions of this chapter shall not be construed to limit the power of the Board to impose any other fees or exactions or to continue to impose existing ones, on development within the NVSSP area, but shall be in addition to any other requirements which the Board is authorized to impose, or has previously imposed, as a condition of approving plans, rezonings or other entitlements within the NVSSP area pursuant to State and local laws. In particular, individual property owners shall remain obligated to fund, construct, and/or dedicate the improvements, public facilities and other exactions required by, but not limited to: (1) the Sacramento County Municipal Services Agency Improvement Standards; (2) the Quimby Act (Government Code Section 66477 et seq.) and implementing ordinances (Chapter 22.40 of this code); (3) school impact fees (Government Code Sections 65970 et seq.) and implementing ordinances; and County drainage fees (County Water Agency Ordinance No. 1).
