The city council of the city of Wasco (“the council”) hereby finds and determines that new residential growth and development in the city of Wasco will create additional demand and need for neighborhood and community parks and recreational facilities in the city of Wasco, and the council finds that new growth and development should pay a proportionate share of the cost of new parks and improvements to existing parks needed to serve the new growth and development. The city of Wasco has conducted extensive research documenting the procedures for measuring the impact of new developments on parks and recreational facilities, has prepared and adopted the Wasco Urban Greening, Parks, and Open Space Master Plan, and hereby incorporates that master plan into this division by reference. Therefore, pursuant to Government Code Section 66410 et seq., AB 1600 and the City of Wasco Urban Greening, Parks, and Open Space Master Plan, the council adopts this division to assess neighborhood park dedication and/or in lieu fees and community park impact fees for the purpose of providing neighborhood and community parks and recreational facilities. The provisions of this chapter shall be liberally construed in order to carry out the purposes of the council in establishing the impact fee program. (Ord. 646 §1, 2014).
