Public Facilities Fee

“The purpose of this chapter is to make provisions for assessing and collecting fees, herein referred to as "public facilities fees" as a condition of issuing a building permit for the purpose of defraying the actual or estimated costs of constructing needed public facilities pursuant to the community facilities element of the general plan.”

“Because the police, fire, general government and library facilities addressed in the public facilities fee provide benefit to the entire city, the area of benefit for the public facilities fee will be the city boundaries.”

“Prior to the issuance of a building permit for new construction, including residential and nonresidential development, on any property within the citywide area of benefit established pursuant to this chapter, the applicant for such permit shall pay or cause to be paid any fees established and apportioned pursuant to this chapter for the purpose of defraying the actual or estimated cost of constructing the city's public facilities.”

“Impact fees shall be calculated and collected at the time of issuance of a building permit for all development projects. The calculation of impact fees due shall be based upon the impact fee schedule in effect at the time of issuance of a building permit.”

“Payment of such fees shall not be required for the following: accessory buildings and structures; private garages, children's playhouses, radio and television receiving antennas, windmills, silos, tank houses, shops, barns, coops and other buildings which are accessory to residential dwellings, as long as such structures do not create any additional dwelling units or non- residential development.”

“Petitions for exceptions to the application of this chapter shall be made in accordance with procedures established by resolution of the city council. If the city council grants an exception in the amount of the impact fee due for a development project under this section, it shall cause to be appropriated from other city funds an amount equal to said reduction in the impact fee due and such funds shall be allocated to the account for the benefit area in which the subject property is located.”
