NOTICE GIVEN THIS 22-nd day of December, 1989. ~;//??ddY./ City Clerk of the City of San Bernardino (SEAL) SBE00099-17/3337S - 1 - 6/ ~ CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO California STAFF REPORT TO: Mayor and Common Council FROM: City Staff SUBJECT: Adoption of Ordinance of the City of San Bernardino, California Adding Chapter 15.73 to the San Bernardino Municipal Code to Require the Levy of an Infrastructure Development Fee For Right-of-Way Improvements and Public Improvements in the Verdemont Area DATE: January 8, 1990 BACKGROUND City Staff has determined that the Verdemont area of the City of San Bernardino (the "City") requires the construction and installation of additional public infrastructure in order to ensure that the Verdemont area is in compliance with the requirements of the City's General Plan if further private development is to occur within the area. The existing infrastructure system is inadequate to serve any additional development, and accordingly, development should not continue without the provision of additional public facilities and improvements. The City is presently contemplating the adoption of the above-referenced Ordinance in order to establish a permanent program for the levy of infrastructure fees to provide revenues to fund public improvements which would be necessitated by any proposed private development within the area. Under California law, such infrastructure fees may be levied pursuant to Government Code Section 66000, et seQ., to provide revenues for the provision of public facilities required by development. City Staff deems the infrastructure fee methodology as the most equitable way of providing for future developement in the Verdemont area. ANALYSIS The above-referenced Ordinance adds Chapter 15.73 to the San Bernardino Municipal code which provides for the levy of an infrastructure fee in connection with any new development in order to provide revenues to cover the costs of certain public improvements. The public improvements are divided into two (2) categories. The first are designated as "Right-of-Way Improvements" and include certain street improvements throughout the area including sidewalks, curbs, gutters, parking, street lights, water mains and sewer mains. The second category of public improvements are designated as the @ Page 2 ~ "Public Improvements" and include fire facilities, drainage facilities and landscaping. The Right-of-Way Improvements and the Public Improvements are more specifically described in that certain Engineer's Report prepared in conjunction herewith. The initial infrastructure fee as established by the Ordinance shall be set by an accompanying resolution to be considered at the time of Second reading of the Ordinance. Said Resolution provides that the initial fee will be in the amount of Seven Thousand Three Hundred Seventy Five Dollars ($7,375.00) for a single family dwelling unit or an equivalent dwelling unit. The first moneys generated through the levy of the infrastructure fee will provide funding for the provision of the Right-of-Way Improvements only. However, to the extent the levy of the initial infrastructure fee generates additional revenues, such addi tional revenues will be used for the construction or installation of the Public Improvements. To the extent excess revenues are not generated through the levy of the initial infrastructure fee, the infrastructure fee may be subj ect to increase pursuant to a subsequent resolution or resolutions, duly adopted by the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino, which resolution(s) shall increase the infrastructure fee in order to cover the costs of the Public Improvements and to cover any additional financing charges which may be incurred in financing the Right-of-Way Improvements and/or the Public Improvements.
