Title
Hearing to consider adoption of Resolution 284-2006 approving Mosquito Fire Protection District's Capital Improvement Plan and adopting of Development Impact Fees.
Body
Recommendation:
1. Hold a public hearing on Tuesday, September 12, 2006 at 9:00 a.m. to accept public comment regarding the Mosquito Fire Protection District's Capital Improvement Plan and Development Impact Fees; and
2. Hearing no significant level of protest, adopt Resolution approving the Capital Improvement Plan and fees as set forth in the Resolution.
Reasons for Recommendations:
Pursuant to California Government Code, El Dorado County Ordinance No. 3991, and the Policy and Procedures for Annual Approval and Authorization of Fire District Development Impact Fees adopted by the Board, the Mosquito Fire Protection District has submitted their Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and request for development impact fees for County review and authorization. As a part of the County's review each district is required to submit, in addition to the CIP, a certified copy of the Districts' Resolution approving the CIP, request for development impact fees and a copy of the public notice as it appeared in the local newspaper. After reviewing the documentation submitted by each district, staff requests that the Planning Commission review the CIP for a "finding of consistency" with the General Plan. Upon such finding, staff then requests a public hearing with the Board for review and approval of the CIP and request for development impact fees. Upon approval the Building Department is notified and requested to collect the development impact fee for each building permit issued within the boundaries of said district.
The Mosquito Fire Protection District is requesting the Board review and authorize their Capital Improvement Plan and adopt the development impact fees as listed. The district is proposing an increase and change in structure to their current fees. The district is moving from a residential per dwelling charge to a per square foot charge. The district is also discontinuing the 50% reduction in square footage fees for commercial buildings with sprinklers.
The current fee is: Residential - $1,200 per dwelling unit
Commercial/Industrial/Institutional - 34 cents/sprinklered; 71 cents/unsprinklered
The new fee structure is noted below:
Residential/Commercial/Industrial/Institutional = $ 0.79 per square foot
Chief Administrative Office staff has reviewed the Capital Improvement Plan and finds it to be in compliance with applicable State statutes, El Dorado County Ordinance No. 3991, and the Policy and Procedure for Annual Approval and Authorization of Fire District Development Impact Fees. The Planning Commission has found the Plan to be in concurrence with the General Plan. Fees were last increased November 1, 2005 by resolution 332-2005.
Fiscal Impact:
There will be no impact to the General Fund. Fees are levied upon new development and are collected by the El Dorado County Building Department.
Actions to be Taken Following Approval:
Upon approval of the Recommendations:
1. The Board of Supervisors will approve and the Chairman will sign the Resolution approving the Mosquito Fire Protection District's Capital Improvement Plan and the Development Impact Fees as set forth in the Resolution.
2. The Clerk of the Board will provide three (3) certified copies of the Resolution to the Chief Administrative Office.
3. Chief Administrative Office staff will notify the Building Department to continue collection of fees for the Mosquito Fire Protection District as approved by the Board and to implement collection effective sixty (60) days from the adoption of this Resolution.
