RESOLUTION NO. 89-063 PAGE TWO 2. In accordance with SAMC section 34-191, the purpose of the drainage area fee is to provide for drainage facilities required to meet the drainage needs created by subdivision or other development of properties within local drainage areas which increase storm water runoff by coverage of absorption areas and increase demand for protection from storm waters. 3. In accordance with SAMC section 34-192, the use to which the abovesaid fee will be put is the construction, or reimbursement for construction, of drainage facilities within the local drainage area from which the fee was collected. The pubic facilities to be financed by the fee are identified in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein. 4. The fee applies to all types of development projects, including residential, commercial, office, and industrial, which will increase storm water runoff by coverage of absorption areas and increase demand for protection from storm waters. The use of the fee for drainage facilities and the need for such facilities is reasonably related to all types of development projects which have such effects because all such development projects generate storm water run-off or receive the benefit of protection from storm waters provided by such facilities. The restriction of the use of fees to drainage facilities which are within the local drainage areas from which the fees are derived assures that the fees derived from any given development project are used to provide those drainage improvements which most directly address the needs created by such development project. 5. As used hereinafter "project" means proposed construction activity which is subject to the payment of a drainage area fee under SAMC sections 34-191 through 34-195 and as to which construction pursuant to a validly issued building permit has not commenced as of the date of adoption of this resolution. 6. Ail previous resolutions of the City Council establishing or increasing drainage area fees are superseded by this resolution, and fees established by this resolution shall apply to all projects except as otherwise hereinafter provided.
