There is a reasonable relationship between the fee's use and the type of
development project on which the fee will be imposed because the fee is
calculated in relationship to the number of people residing in the
development and the current estimated cost of developing, improving or
enhancing of public parks and recreation facilities.
There is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the
cost of parks and recreational facilities or portion thereof attributable to the
residential development which the fee is imposed.
There is a reasonable relationship between the need for parks and
recreational facilities and the type of development project on which the fee
is imposed because new residential dwelling unit development creates or
contributes an additional demand for developed parks and recreational
facilities at the level of service (standard rate) required by the General Plan.
The requirements of Section 66001 of the Government Code have been
met.
The requirements of Bakersfield Municipal Code Chapter 15.82 relative to
the Public Works Director's Annual report have been met.
Such fee as stated above is hereby approved and adopted, effective sixty
(60) days upon adoption of this resolution.
