Imposing fees to mitigate adverse environmental impacts.
Summary
The Legislature declares its intent to assure that impact fees are imposed only for specific adverse environmental impacts identified in environmental documents, according to established standards adopted by ordinance. Mitigation fees for the same impacts should not be arbitrary or redundant, but directly related to new development and in proportion to the impacts.
