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.

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.
