In order to implement the goals and objectives of the Sebastopol General Plan, and to mitigate the impacts caused by future development in the City, certain public facilities must be constructed. The City Council has determined that a fire facilities fee is needed in order to finance and to fund fire facilities that are required to mitigate the impacts of new development on the City’s infrastructure in order to meet required response times. In establishing the fire facilities fee described in the following sections, 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.
