A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF ORANGE REPEALING RESOLUTION NO.
7840 AND REVISING THE FIRE PROTECTION
FACILITIES FEE.
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted Chapter 15.38 of the Orange Municipal Code to
require that developers contribute their fair share of the costs of the acquisition and construction
of a new fire protection facilities and certain other improvements and additions to other fIre
protection facilities; and
WHEREAS, Orange Municipal Code Section 15.38.080 provides that such fees may be
increased by resolution adopted by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the fees should be increased because
of increased construction costs and that the fee, as currently constituted, does not fully reflect
new development's fair share of the cost of new fire facilities; and
WHEREAS, the City's General Plan addresses the impacts of contemplated future
development of existing fire facilities in the City of Orange, along with an analysis of the need
for new facilities and improvements required by new development; and
WHEREAS, the General Plan sets forth the relationship between new development and
the needed facilities, and the City's Capital Improvement Plan gives the basis for estimating the
costs of those improvements and new facilities; and
WHEREAS, after consideration of the information contained in the General Plan, the
Capital Improvements Plan, the Staff Report and public testimony, the City Council finds as
follows:
A. The purpose of this fee is to recover new development's fair share of the cost of
fire: facility construction and improvements to existing fire facilities to mitigate the impacts
caused by and to service new development within the boundaries of the City of Orange.
I""B. The fees collected pursuant to this Resolution, shall be used solely to finance
new development's fair share of the cost of fire facility construction and improvements to
existing fire facilities to mitigate the impacts caused by and to service new development within
the boundaries of the City of Orange.
C. After considering the information contained in the General Plan, Capital
Improvement Program, the Staff Report, and public testimony, the City Council finds that new
development in the City of Orange will generate additional fire facility needs within the City
and will contribute to the demand upon the services provided by the exiting fire facilities. --..D.
The facts and evidence presented establish that there is a reasonable relationship be1ween
the need for the described fire facilities and the impacts of the types of development described
in Exhibit "A", for which the corresponding fee is charged, and, also there is a reasonable
relationship between the fee's use and the type of development upon which the fee is
charged.E.
The cost estimates set forth in the City's Capital Improvement Programs are reasonable
cost estimates for constructing these facilities, and the fees expected to be collected by
the City of Orange from any affected development project will not exceed the total of those costs
attributable to the impact of that project.NOW,
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Orange that
the changes in fees and charges set forth in Exhibit "A" are hereby adopted and Resolution No.
7840 is rescinded.BE

ctive 60 days after its adoption as required by California Government Code Section 65962.BE
