The Public Facilities Element of the General Plan requires that before giving approval to zoning, rezoning, development or redevelopment proposals, the public health and safety and the general welfare of the community and all its citizens require that the proponent of any such actions shall present evidence satisfactory to the City Ccuncil that all necessary services and facilities will be available concurrent with need. ... For those services and facilities provided by another entity, the Council has and will continue to be guided by a letter of availability from such entity. For those services provided by the City, the Council has previously\relied on a report of availability from the City Staff. On July 3, 1979 the Cj.ty Manager reported that in the future such services and facilities could not be made available to new development from the City'.s resources. PURPOSE; 1. To establish a policy regarding the requirements which must be met before the City Council will find that the Public Facilities Element has been satisfied. 2. To establish a policy that will allow development to proceed in an orderly manner while insuring that the requirements of the Public Facilities Element will be satisfied by establishing a fee to fund the cost of City-provided facilities, including but not limited to: Parks, major streets, traffic signals, storm drains, bridges and public buildings such as fire stations, police facilities, maintenance yards, libraries and general offices which wilL insure they will be available concurrent with need. • POLICY: ' . 1. In determining whether or not service provided by another entity will be available concurrent with need in connection with a development, the Council, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, shall be guided by a letter of availability from that entity, provided, however, developments which are required to dedicate.land or pay fees for school facilities pursuant to Chapter 21.55 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, shall be deemed to have satisfied the Public Facilities Element in regard to schools for that development without the necessity for an availability letter. io03••: \ ' ' CITS.. OF CARLSBAD COUNCIL POLICY STATEMENT. General Subject: Requirements Necessary to satisfy the Public Specific Subject: Facilities Element of the General Plan Page 2 of 4s, J PVticy No. 17 Date Issued 8-29-79 Effective Date 8-29-79 Cancellation Date Supersedes No 17 9-6-78 Copies to: City Council, City Manager, City Attorney, Department and Division Heads, Employee Bulletin Boards, Press, File 2. The City Council finds that the'report-entitled, "A Public Facilities Fee for the City of Carlsbad", dated July 3, 1979, accurately reflects the City's need for and lack'of ability to provide public facilities and services to new development and it is hereby approved. The Council also finds that the continued development of the City, V7ith the consequent increase in population and in the use of public facilities, wil.l impose increased requirements for such facilities, including but not limited to parks, major streets, traffic signals, storm drains, bridges and public buildings, such as fire stations, police facilities, maintenance facilities, libraries and general offices. The necessity for such facilities results-directly from new construction and the need cannot be met from ordinary City revenues. The most practical and equitable method of paying for such facilities is to impose a fee upon new development in the City. Payment of such a fee will enable the City to fund a construction program to provide public facilities. If a development agrees to pay the public facilities fee established by this policy, the Council xvill be able to find that all necessary public facilities and services will be available concurrent with.need and that the requirements of the Public Facilities Element have been met. If that finding cannot be made, the City Council will be required to disapprove the development. 3. Prior to approval of any zoning, rezoning, development or redevelopment proposal, the applicant shall pay or agree to pay a public facilities fee in the amount of 2% of the building permit valuation of the buildings or structures or $1,150 'for each mobilehome space to be constructed pursuant to such approval. The fee shall be paid prior to issuance of building or other permits and shall be based on the valuation at that time. 4. A credit toward the fee impose'd by this policy shall be given for land which has been dedicated for park purposes or for any fees paid in lieu thereof pursuant to Chapter 20.44 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code. . 5. All proceeds from the fee collected pursuant to this policy shall be paid into a special capital outlay fund of the City entitled, "Public Facilities Fund". The fund shall be used only for the purpose of acquiring, building, improving, expanding and equipping public property, and public improvements and facilities including but not limited to the following types of capital projects: Public buildings (such as fire stations, police facilities, maintenance and yard facilities, libraries and general city offices) parks, major streets, » i "' • * * ' V General Specific ' r ii>o4CITV OF CARLSBAD COUNCIL POLICY STATEMENT Subject: Subject: Requirements Necessary to satisfy the Public Facilities Element of the General Plan ^^JPage 3 of 4 Policy No. 17 Date Issued 8-29-79 Effective Date 8-29-79 Cancellation Date Supersedes No. 17 issued 9-6-78 . Copies to: City Council, City Manager, City Attorney, Department and Division Heads, Employee Bulletin Boards, Press, File traffic signals, storm drains, bridges and other"similar projects as the Council may deem necessary and appropriate. Designation of expenditures of funds available from the fund shall be made by the City Council in the context of approval of the City's annual operating and capital improvements budget or at such other time as the Council may direct. 6. The following exceptions from payment of the fee shall apply: (a) .The construction of a building or structure or mobilehome space which is a replacement for a building or space being removed from the same lot or parcel of land. The exception shall equal but not exceed the fee which would be payable hereunder if the building being replaced were^being newly constructed. If the fee imposed on the . . new building exceeds the amount of this exception, such excess shall be paid. •"• (b) Accessory buildings or structures in mobilehome parks, such as a club house, swimming pool, or laundry facilities. (c) Buildings or structures which are clearly accessory to an existing use such as fences, pools, patios and automobile garages. (d) The City Council may grant an exception for a low cost housing project where the City Council finds such project consistent with the Housing Element of the General Plan and that such exception is necessary. In approving an exception for low cost housing the 'City Council may attach conditions, including limitations on rent or income levels of tenants. If the City Council finds a project is not being operated as a low cost housing project in accordance with 'all applicable conditions, the fee, which would otherwise be imposed by this chapter, shall immediately become due and payable. 7. There is excluded from the fee imposed by this policy: (a) Any person when imposition of such fee upon that person would be in violation of the Constitution and laws of the United States or the State of California.
