The city council declares that the fees required to be paid hereby are assessed pursuant to the taxing power of the city and solely for the purpose of producing revenue. The continued increase in the development of dwelling units in the city with the attendant increase to the population of the city has created an urgency in that there are insufficient funds available for the increased demand for capital items required to serve the increasing population of the city.
