URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 3596
AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
AMENDING CHAPTER 230 OF THE HUNTINGTON BEACH
ZONING AND SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE
WHEREAS, on June 17, 2002, the Huntington Beach City Council adopted Ordinance No.
3562 revising Chapter 254 of the Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance ("ZSO")
which requires, as a condition of development approval, residential subdivisions to dedicate land or
pay an in-lieu park fee. Such fees are levied pursuant to the authority of California Government
Code Section 66477 (the "Quimby Act"). Among other things, the revisions to Chapter 254
adopted by City Council on June 17, 2002 require that the in-lieu park fee be calculated using a site-
specific appraisal methodology;
WHEREAS, pursuant to ZSO Section 230.20, development projects not otherwise subject to
the Quimby Act are required to pay a park fee calculated pursuant to ZSO Chapter 254;
WHEREAS, the purpose of the fees levied on development projects pursuant to ZSO
Chapters 230 and 254 is to provide funds necessary for the development and rehabilitation of City
parks and recreational facilities that are required to assure the provision of park land and
recreational facilities are available to serve new residential, commercial and industrial development
projects at established City service levels standards within a reasonable period of time;
WHEREAS, in light of the current status of the State budget, as well as declining City
reserves and the unavailability of funds necessary to develop City parks and recreational facilities
that are needed to serve new development, as a matter of public health welfare and safety, it is
necessary to impose fees on new development as soon as possible to ensure that development
projects pay all applicable fees as soon as possible;
WHEREAS, because the City Council has already modified Chapter 254, it is also necessary
to immediately revise Chapter 230 so that the collection of fees imposed on development projects is
consistent with the intent of the City Council to impose fees on residential, commercial and
industrial projects;
NOW, THEREFORE,the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby ordain as
follows:
