WHEREAS,this 2004 Water Master Plan Update was available for public inspection and review for more than ten (10) days prior to this public hearing and notice was given in compliance with Government Code Section 66016; and WHEREAS, a public hearing, noticed pursuant to and in compliance with Government Code Sections 66018 and 6062a, was held at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors, and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors finds as follows: A. The purpose of the facilities fee is to finance public water system facilities needed to service new development and to reduce the impacts of additional demands on the existing water system caused by new development within the District's water service area. B. The water facilities fees collected pursuant to this ordinance shall be used to finance the public facilities described or identified in the 2004 Water Master Plan Update. C. After considering the Water Master Plan Update and analysis prepared by District Staff and the testimony received at public hearings, the Board finds that the new development in the water service area will generate additional need for new water system facilities within the impacted area as described in the 2004 Water Master Plan Update and will contribute to the degradation of the public water supply in that area. D. It is appropriate or necessary in this described impact area to provide for water system facilities which have not been constructed or have been constructed but new development has not contributed its fair share towards these facility costs and said facilities. E. The facts and evidence presented establish that there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the described public facilities and the impacts of the types of development described in paragraph three below,for which the corresponding fee is charged and there is a reasonable relationship between the fee's use and the type of development for which the fee is charged, as these reasonable relationships or nexus are in more detail described in the 2004 Water System Master Plan referred to above. F. In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act,following a properly noticed public hearing held at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors,the Board did adopt a Page 1 Ordinance 2005-03 Negative Declaration for the adoption of the 2004 Water System Master Plan Update. A Notice of Determination was filed with both the Nevada and Placer County Clerks in June of ,.� 2004. G. The cost estimates set forth in the 2004 Water Master Plan Update are reasonable cost estimates for constructing these facilities and the fees expected to be generated by new development will not exceed the total of these costs. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED that the Board of Directors of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District does hereby enact the following: 1. "New development" shall mean construction of residential improvements, construction of commercial, industrial or other non-residential improvements,or the addition of floor space to existing non-residential improvements which involve the issuance of a permit for construction or reconstruction. 2. A water facilities fee shall be charged upon application for water service and shall be paid prior to provision of water service by new development in the water service area depicted and described in the 2004 Water Master Plan Update. District staff shall determine if the development lies within this area, the type of development and the corresponding fee to be charged in accordance with this ordinance. 3. Use of Facilities Fees-The fee shall be solely used to pay(1)for all costs associated with the public facilities described in the 2004 Water System Master Plan to be constructed by the District, (2) for reimbursing the District for the development's fair share of those capital improvements already constructed by the District, or(3) to reimburse other developers who have constructed public facilities described in the 2004 Water System Master Plan, where those facilities were beyond that needed to mitigate the impacts of the other developers' project or projects. 4. Residential Facilities Fee—Water facilities fees shall be calculated and charted according to an amount per square foot of living space for the area to be constructed. The facilities fees shall be $1.64 times the square feet of living space as determined by the Building Permit. 5.
