It is the purpose and intent of Sections 12.08.020, 12.08.030, 12.08.070 and 12.08.080 to require a building permittee or parking facility permittee to dedicate property for street widening purposes and sidewalk purposes and to improve such dedicated property in accordance with the requirements and standards set forth in this section.  The council finds and determines that the regulations set forth in such sections are both reasonable and necessary for the following reasons:       

    A.    That the population growth and commercial growth of the Grass Valley area during the past five years has been accompanied by an increase in the number of vehicles used on the streets within the city with resulting street and highway deficiencies, and       

    B.    That master plans for the widening and improvement of streets within the city have been prepared but that the lack of public funds for the implementation of such plans has prevented the attainment of goals set forth therein and will prevent their attainment for decades in the future, and      

    C.    That the improvement and development of property generate an increase of traffic on streets abutting upon such property and that the widening and improvement of such streets confer a direct benefit upon the owners and users of the developed property. (Prior code § 21-11)
