HomeMy WebLinkAbout(1975, 07/28) - F-9 - AmendedF -9 7/28/75 FINANCING CAPITAL IMPROVERENTS ON UNDEVELOPED LAND The development of land within the City of Newport Beach requires a variety of municipal capital improvements to meet the needs of the people who ultimately will occupy this land. Based on the principle that those who derive benefits from improvements should pay for them, it is the City's policy that the users of land within the City shall bear the costs of improvements on such land in proportion to their direct and identifiable use of those improvements. The method of initially financing the construction cost of improvements will be determined prior to the develop- ment of each area, with the understanding, however, that such construction cost ultimately will be borne by the actual users of the land. By use of acreage fees and connection fees, the City may assist the landowner and /or developer in recovering the initial construction cost from those who use the land. With this policy as a guide, the City approves the attached Capital Improvements Cost Sharing Plan as related to land acquisition, site development, project con- struction, and maintenance and operation. All future capital improvements on undeveloped land are to be accomplished in accordance with appropriate City master plans in effect at the time such improvements are undertaken. The City will determine priorities when insufficient funds are available to finance all qualified projects. This policy notwithstanding, the cost of any capital improvement needed solely to serve a specific subdivision or development shall be borne by the landowner or developer or user. GENERAL PROVISIONS: 1. The City will pay for its portion only when the project is eligible for Gas Tax Funds and when funds are available. 2. The City may install street safety lighting in connection with traffic signal installations and may install street lighting at other locations when it is required for safety reasons. 2. Where private streets or private entrances occur at the intersection of two arterial streets, the developer will be required to pay only for the addi- tional signal work required to signalize his entrance. 4. Traffic Signals: Category "A" (Private Benefit) Signals in Category "A" shall include, but are not limited to (1) private street intersections, (2) private entrances, (3) local and collector street intersections, and (4) local street intersections with arterial streets where traffic projections show that a signal will be needed within 4 years after occupancy of new development. The cost of installing traffic signals in Category "A" shall be the responsibility of the developer. F -9 FINANCING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ON UNDEVELOPED LAND -- Page 2 7/28/75 Category "B" (Public Benefit) 10 Signals in Category "B" shall include the intersections of all major, primary, and secondary streets shown on the Master Plan of Streets and Highways.in effect at the time of the tentative map. The cost of in- stalling traffic signals in Category "B" shall be the responsibility oftheCityifandwhenGasTaxFundsareavaialable. Category "C" (Public and Private Benefit) Signals in Category "C" shall include (1) intersections existing at the time of new development and (2) locations where it can be shown that the overall direct benefit to the public justifies the use of public funds. The cost of installing traffic signals in Category "C" shall be shared bytheCityanddeveloperonthebasisofbenefitsreceived. In cases where development plans may be delayed, the City may advance the developer's share of the cost. 5. Where the property owners propose changes in land use planning that result in significant traffic increases, the developer's responsibility for traffic signal construction may be increased beyond that otherwise provided for herein. 6. In an effort to simplify the accomplishment of the work, the City or the developer may perform work beyond their responsibilities as defined in this policy. In such cases a credit may be given the party performing the work provided prior approval of the other party is obtained and a detailed request in writing is made within six months after completion of the work.
