§ 13.01.010. Purpose.

In order to implement the goals and objectives of the county general plan and to mitigate the additional traffic generated by new development in the county, certain public road facilities and improvements must be or had to be constructed. The board of supervisors has determined that a road improvement fee is needed in order to finance these public road facilities and improvements and to pay for the new development's fair share of the construction costs of these facilities and improvements. In establishing the fee described in the following sections, the board of supervisors has found the fee to be consistent with the county general plan/land use ordinance and, pursuant to Government Code Section 65913.2, has considered the effects of the fee with respect to the county's housing needs as established in the housing element of the said general plan/land use ordinance.
