The city council of the city finds, determines and declares that:

A. The city must implement its circulation element in order to maintain adopted levels of service, and to ensure that there is correlation of the land use and circulation element of the general plan. This must be done in order to promote and protect the public health, safety and welfare;

B. The California Legislature through the enactment of California statutes has sought to encourage the city to enact impact fees;

C. The imposition of impact fees is an essential method of ensuring that adequate circulation facilities are provided and that the cost of capital facilities are apportioned based on a reasonable relationship between the fee and the type of development necessary to accommodate such development. This must be done in order to promote and protect the public health, safety and welfare;

D. Each of the types of land development described in Section 13.24.470, will generate traffic necessitating the acquisition of rights-of-way, street construction and street improvements;

E. The fees established by Section 13.24.070 are derived from, are based upon, and do not exceed the costs of providing additional rights-of-way, street construction and street improvements necessitated by the new land developments for which the fees are levied;

F. The report entitled "City of Wasco Future Conditions Report," as may be revised from time to time, sets forth a reasonable methodology and analysis for the determination of the unfounded portion of new facilities and the need for and costs for additional rights-of-way, street construction and street improvements in the city. (Ord. 469 §1, 2002).
