A.    In order to implement the goals and objectives of the capital improvement program for facilities and equipment of the city of Grass Valley, and to mitigate the traffic impacts caused by new development in the city, certain public facilities and equipment must be constructed and/or acquired. The public facilities and equipment are specifically identified in the city's capital improvement program for facilities and equipment as adopted by the city council and as amended from time to time. The list of roads, bridges and traffic control facilities may be added to or deleted from the approved program. The city council has determined that a development impact fee is needed in order to finance these public improvements and to pay for the development's fair share of the construction costs of these improvements.

    B.    In establishing the fee described in this chapter, the city council has found the fee to be consistent with its general plan and, pursuant to Government Code Section 65913.2, has considered the effects of the fee with respect to the city's housing needs as established in the housing element of the general plan.
