(Legislative History: Ordinance No. 2020-12, 12/07/21 (Section 7-13-120); Ordinance No. 2000-07, 6/5/00)
(a) 
A park facilities development impact fee ("park impact fee") is established to pay for public park and recreation facilities.
(b) 
Pursuant to Government Code Section 66001, the City Council shall, in a City Council Resolution adopted after a duly noticed public hearing, set forth the amount of the park impact fee, describe the benefit and impact area on which the park impact fee is imposed, identify the City-owned public facilities to be financed, describe the estimated cost of these facilities, describe the reasonable relationship between the use of the park impact fee and the need for the public facilities and the types of future development projects on which the park impact fee is imposed, and set forth time for payment.
The revenues raised by payment of the park impact fee shall be accounted for in the City's capital project fund. Separate and special accounts within the fund shall be used to account for revenues, along with any interest earnings on such account. These monies shall be used for the following purposes:
(a) 
To pay for design, engineering, right-of-way acquisition and construction of the public facilities designated in the City Council resolution and reasonable costs of outside consultant studies related thereto;
(b) 
To reimburse the City for designated public facilities constructed by the City with funds (other than gifts or grants) from other sources together with accrued interest;
(c) 
To reimburse developers who have designed and constructed such designated public facilities; and/or
(d) 
To pay for and/or reimburse costs of program development and ongoing administration of the park impact fee program.
If a developer is required, as a condition of approval of a permit, to construct a public facility that has been designated to be financed with park impact fees, a credit against the fee otherwise levied by this Article on the development project in an amount not to exceed the cost of such public facility as estimated by the City in adopting the fee shall be offered by the City and, if the fee is less than such amount, the developer shall be entitled to reimbursement. The reimbursement amount shall be from fee revenues only.
The City Council may, by resolution, adopt administrative guidelines to provide procedures for calculation, credit, reimbursement, or deferred payment and other administrative aspects of the park impact fee.
If a developer is required by this Code, including the Zoning Code, to provide publicly accessible open space for the development of residential units, a credit against the fee otherwise levied by this Article on the development project shall be offered by the City. The amount of the credit shall be based on the value of the property being provided as publicly accessible open space, using the per acre value for park facilities established by the City Council when adopting the park impact fee pursuant to Section 7-13-100, as adjusted from time to time.
