The construction of new streets and water, sewer, and storm drains often benefits other properties. Benefits may occur through the provision of supplemental capacity (oversize lines) or installations across or opposite unserved property that would be required to make such improvements upon development or service connection. B. The state of California, in Government Code Sections 66485 through 66489, requires that the city either pay for or enter into an agreement to reimburse the installing party, including an amount attributable to interest for such installations. To pay the costs as required by the reimbursement agreement, the city may collect funds from the other properties which benefit from such installations. C. The City has adopted a development impact mitigation fee ordinance (Municipal Code Chapter 15.64), which provides for reimbursement and collection of funds from benefitting parcels under only a portion of the circumstances described in Subsection A. D. The purpose of Chapter 15.64 is to identify the improvements which are reimbursable under the development impact mitigation fee program and to provide a uniform reimbursement procedure for the cost of improvements which are to be reimbursed from other properties. For purposes of this Article, "applicant" means the owner of the property for which the improvements are being installed or are required to be installed per the Municipal Code. 17.62.020 - Improvements to be Reimbursed A. The cost of the following improvements shall be reimbursed from the appropriate benefitting parcels. The terms of the reimbursement shall comply with Chapter 15.64. 1. Oversize water mains and major crossings required per Chapter 13.08; 2. Oversize sewers and storm drains required per Chapter 13.12; 3. Excess width street construction and right-of-way required per Chapter 15.44 and 17.50.030; B. The cost of other improvements which benefit other property or would be required of that property upon development shall be reimbursed in compliance with this Article. SECTION 2. No Mandatory Duty of Care. This ordinance is not intended to and shall not be construed or given effect in a manner which imposes upon the City, or any officer or employee thereof, a mandatory duty of care towards persons or property within the City or outside of the City so as to provide a basis of civil liability for damages, except as otherwise imposed by law. SECTION 3. Severability. If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application. To this end, the provisions of this ordinance are severable. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of any particular portion thereof. SECTION 4. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are repealed insofar as such conflict may exist. SECTION 5.
