Section 1. Amended Section 17.24.010, 17.24.020, 17.24.040, and 17.24.120.
Sections 17.24.010, 17.24.020, 17.24.040, and 17.24.120 are amended to read as follows:
17.24.010: LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS:
The City Council of the City of Chubbuck, Idaho, finds that:
A. Based on the City of Chubbuck Comprehensive Plan adopted by the City pursuant to
title 67, chapter 65, Idaho Code, including, but not limited to, the capital improvements
element of the comprehensive plan, and the general governmental goal of protecting the
health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the City, and its Area of City Impact, it is
necessary for: 1) police public facilities; and 2) emergency services public facilities to
accommodate new development within the City, and its Area of City Impact.
B. New residential and nonresidential growth and development imposes and will impose
increasing and excessive demands upon the public facilities.
C. The revenues generated from new residential and nonresidential growth and
development often does not generate sufficient funds to provide the necessary levels of
service provided by these public facilities to accommodate new development.
D. New development is expected to continue, and will place ever increasing demands on
the City to provide and expand the public facilities to serve new development.
E. The City has planned for the improvement of the public facilities in the capital
improvements element of the City of Chubbuck Comprehensive Plan and in the impact fee
analysis and the capital improvement plan reviewed and adopted therewith.
F. The creation of an equitable impact fee system in accordance with title 67, chapter 82,
Idaho Code enables the City to impose a proportionate share of the costs of needed
improvements to the public facilities to accommodate new development, and assists -the
City in implementing the capital improvements element of the comprehensive plan.
G. In order to maintain an equitable impact fee system for the public facilities, the City
retained Zions Public Finance, Inc. ("Zions") to prepare updated impact fee studies for
these types of facilities 5 years after adopting impact fees originally in 2019. The resulting
documents are titled:
Police Capital Improvement Plan and Impact Fee Analysis, and Fire and Emergency
Services Capital Improvement Plan and Impact Fee Analysis, and
all dated 2023 (the "Impact Fee Study"), and recommended for approval by the Impact Fee
Advisory Committee. The studies are on file in the Office of the City Clerk of the City of
Chubbuck. Any reference herein to the Impact Fee Study shall be to the respective study for
that service.
H. The Impact Fee Study is consistent with the capital improvements element of the City
of Chubbuck Comprehensive Plan, and uses the levels of service set forth in the
Comprehensive Plan for these public facilities. The Impact Fee Study sets forth reasonable
methodologies and analyses for determining the impacts of various types of new
development on the public facilities, and determines the cost of acquiring or constructing
the improvements necessary to meet the demands for such public facilities created by new
development.
J. The Impact Fee Study uses a calculation methodology in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. This chapter shall not be deemed invalid because payment
of an impact fee may result in an incidental benefit to others within the service area other
than the fee payer.
K. The impact fees described in this chapter are based on the Impact Fee Study, and do
not exceed the costs of system improvements for the public facilities to serve new
development that will pay the impact fees.
L. The police and emergency services included in the calculation of impact fees in the
Impact Fee Study will benefit all new development throughout the City, and it is therefore
appropriate to treat all areas of the City and the Area of City Impact as a single service area
for purposes of calculating, collecting and spending the impact fees collected.
M. There is both a rational nexus and a rough proportionality between the development
impacts created by each type of development covered by this chapter and the impact fees
that such development will be required to pay.
N. This chapter creates a system by which impact fees paid by new development will be
used to finance, defray or to provide capital improvements for the public facilities in ways
that benefit the development for which impact fees were paid.
0. This chapter creates a system under which impact fees shall not be used to correct
existing deficiencies in public facilities, or to replace or rehabilitate existing public facilities,
or to pay for routine operation or maintenance of those public facilities.
P. This chapter creates a system under which there shall be no double payment of impact
fees, in accordance with Idaho Code section 67-8204(19).
Q. This chapter is consistent with all applicable provisions of title 67, chapter 82, Idaho
Code, concerning impact fee ordinances. (Ord. 783, 2019)
