(Urgency Interim Increase in Park Dedication
Fee for the East County Area)
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors ordains as follows:
SECTION 1. SUMMARY. This ordinance is an urgency interim
measure increasing the park dedication fee in the East County
area.
SECTION II. ORDINANCE AREA. This ordinance applies to the
territory in the unincorporated area of this County within the
territorial jurisdiction of the East County Regional Planning
Commission, described in County Ordinance Code section 26-2 . 1512.
SECTION III. URGENCY DECLARATION. This ordinance is an urgency
measure as an interim authorization for an increased fee or
charge to protect the public health, welfare and safety,
authorized by Government Code section 65962. There is an urgent
need for an increase in the amount of fees which may be paid in
lieu of land dedication requirements for park and recreational
facilities in the ordinance area. The fees currently required do
not reflect current land values in the ordinance area.
Development of a significant amount of land in the ordinance area
is imminent. Therefore, unless the fees are increased
immediately, the cost of establishing park and recreational
facilities called for by the general plan's recreational element
in the ordinance area will far exceed the fees collected.
Failure to collect sufficient fees will hinder and forestall, and
may prevent, the establishment of those park and recreational
facilities . Having adequate park and recreational facilities is
in the best interest of the public's health, safety and welfare,
as such facilities provide a place where all people may enjoy
wholesome outdoor activities, and children may play free from
traffic and other hazards. Therefore, inability to establish
park and recreational facilities, as the need for them arises, is
detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare.
SECTION IV. AMOUNT OF FSE. Notwithstanding the provisions of
County Ordinance Code sections 920-6 . 204 and 920-6 . 602, when fees
are to be paid in lieu of land dedication in the ordinance area
pursuant to Division 920 of the County Ordinance Code, such fees
shall be $1,350. 00 per dwelling unit.
SECTION V. EFFECTIVE AND EXPIRATION DATES. This ordinance
becomes effective immediately upon passage on December 21, 1989,
and shall be operative for thirty (30) days (through January 19,
1990) , pursuant to Government Code section 65962 . Within 15 days
of passage, this ordinance shall be published once with the names
of supervisors voting for and against it in the
Antioch Daily Ledger , a newspaper published in this County.
PASSED on December 21, 1989, by four-fifths vote of the Board, as
follows:
