AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 17.30.010 AND
SECTION 17.30.020 OF THE PETALUMA MUNICIPAL
CODE REGARDING STORM DRAINAGE IMPACT FEES:
AND DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF TO TAKE
EFFECT IMMEDIATELY
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FOLLOWS.:
Section 1. Section 17.30.010 of the Petaluma Municipal Code is hereby
amended in its entirety to read as follows
" 17.30.010 Findings.
The City Council finds that due to the passage of Article XIIIA of
the California Constitution, city property tax revenues will be sharply
curtailed. The Council further finds that due to the present and future
curtailment of said revenues, property tax revenue even in combination with
other city revenues will not be sufficient to provide for necessary
construction of major public improvements made necessary by new
development within the area identified as developable on the City's General
Plan and Environmental Design plans .
Those projects which drain into the Petaluma River and its
tributaries and which exceed normal runoff will require the construction of
detention areas to accommodate such runoff and public funds are not
available for such construction . The fees required by this Chapter are
therefore declared to be necessary for the substantial preservation of the
public health, safety and general welfare, by causing costs of construction
of said improvements to be borne by all of the developments within the City
Ord No. 1647 N.C.S.
io
of Petaluma, all of which generate the need for detention area
improvements ."
Section 2. Section 17.30.020 of the Petaluma Municipal Code is hereby
amended in its entirety to read as follows
"17.30.020 Payment of Fees Required.
A. For Residential Development: For those projects which cause an
increase in runoff of two-acre feet or less, a fee will be required to
provide on or off-site detention equal to the calculated increase. The exact
amount of the fee shall be established by the resolution of this Council.
Payment of those fees shall be imposed at the time of approval of the
tentative subdivision map and shall be paid prior to approval and
recordation of the final (or parcel) subdivision map.
B. For Commercial and/or Industrial Development: For such projects,
a fee shall be charged at an established amount of per acre foot of
additional runoff created by the development. Such fee shall be established
by resolution of this Council. Said fees shall be established as a condition
of either the tentative map approval, or if none, as a condition of the site
design approval. Said fees shall be payable either prior to approval and
recordation of the final (or parcel) map, if any, or prior to the issuance of
the first building permit for the project."
Section 3. This ordinance is hereby declared to be necessary for
the immediate preservation of the public health, welfare and safety of the
City and shall take effect and be in force upon its passage by a unanimous
vote of the members of the City Council present at the time of its adoption .
The reason for the urgency is to provide necessary revenue for flood
mitigation .
