SECTION 3: The City Council makes the following f ind ings : 1. Since January 1985, the City of Carlsbad has been undertaking a comprehensive review of the Land Use Element of it General Plan. As part of that review a Council appointed Citizens Committee prepared a comprehensive report and recommendation to the City Council. That report was subject to public hearings by both the Planning Commission and City Council Included in the recommendations of the Citizens Committee were recommendations that no new development should occur unless adequate public facilities are available concurrently with need to serve the new development. 2. On August 6, 1985, the City Council adopted Interim Ordinance No. 9766, imposing certain temporary land use controls on property within the City, consistent with the recommendation of the Citizens Committee. On September 3, 1985, the City Council adopted Interim Ordinance No. 9771 which extended the restrictions of Ordinance No. 9766 until July 20, 1986. On December 10, 1985, the City Council approved in concept several land use proposals not contained in the Citizens Committee report. On January 21, 1986 the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 9791 imposing a temporary moratorium on developmen approvals based on the findings contained in that ordinance. On April 22, 1986 the City Council revised City Council Policy No. 17, based on the findings contained therein. On May 6, 1986 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 8107 establishing a traffic impact fee for the La Costa Area of the City. The City Council 19. 21 22 I I 5. Because any new development affects public facility availability it is necessary to impose the fees and charges whick. will be used to provide public facilities on any new building in the City. The Council finds that failure to impose the fees and charges on any new building in the City will adversely affect the public health and safety by reducing the safety of its City's streets, increasing the burden on water, sewer, drainage and fire facilities, and by overcrowding existing schools, parks and recreational facilities. 23 24 25 26 27 28 finds that all of these actions plus the adoption of Chapter 21.90 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code are necessary to ensure adequate public facilities are available to serve any new development in the City. Without Chapter 21.90 and the requirements imposed by it, adequate public facilities may not be available to serve new development or building . Development or building without public facilities is contrary to the City General Plan and would be dangerous to the public health and safety. long standing policies and objectives of the City to ensure adequate public facilities within Carlsbad. This action will protect the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Carlsbad by ensuring safe streets, adequate water, sewer and drainage facilities, sufficient fire protection and recreation facilities. 3. This action of the City Council is consistent with SECTION 4: The City Council intends to implement the growth management program contained in Chapter 21.90 by following the work program in Exhibit A which is hereby made a 20. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 I1 12 part of this ordinance. program without amending necessary to accom.plish of Carlsbad.
