F. Similarly, in a few limited circumstances, new charges have been added or existing charges raised beyond this 5.2% cost of providing services. In each of these cases, the Council further finds, determines and declares that such new or increased charges, fees or service charges do not exceed the City's estimated reasonable cost to provide the pertinent service, process the specified application or administer the certain program for which the charge, fee or service charge is imposed. G. In order to have a single comprehensive document for Fiscal Year 2005- 2006, the majority of fees which are unchanged have simply been reprinted in the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule. The Council expressly states that it is not its intention to repeal previously adopted fees and adopt new fees of exactly the same amount, but is simply repeating these fees so that the Miscellaneous Fee Schedule can continue to be a comprehensive source of City fees and service charges. H. As to the City's development impacts fees which are increased in this year's Miscellaneous Fee Schedule, the Council finds that as to this fee: 1. These fees are to be used to design and construct new facilities to accommodate increased development in the City. 2. The public facilities to be constructed using these fees (plus additional funds, since these fees will not reimburse the city for all such costs) are identified in reports prepared by the City, true and correct copies of which is on file with the Clerk of the Council. 3. There is a reasonable relationship between the use of these fees and the type of development on which the fee is imposed, in that new development creates an impact on City facilities for which fees of the sort charged by the City are an appropriate response. 4. There is a reasonable relationship between the new development the City anticipates in the upcoming years, and the type of development on which the fee is imposed because the fee is based upon the number of square footage or bedrooms developed (minus offsets for demolished square footage or bedrooms) and the Council has found in adopting this fee that the more square footage or bedrooms in a new development, the more impacts on City resources. 5. For each such fee, the City has been divided in separate, designated areas, and the fees imposed and collected will be separated and designated for use in design and construction of public facilities in the area in which the residential project is located. The City will comply with Government Code ~ 66006. 6. These increased fees will take effect sixty (60) days from the date of adoption of this resolution. Resolution No. 2005-052 Page 2 of 60
