General City DIF - Fire

“The Purpose of the Fee. In order to continue to be able to respond to an ever-increasing number of expected calls, the City staff has determined the need for the addition of four stations and the relocation of two existing stations to maximize coverage. Having the right type, size and number of fire stations in the right locations will enable policy makers, the Chief and City Council to house fire fighters, apparatus, and equipment in a rational way for maximum use of capital resources at the lowest annual operations cost.”

“The Use of the Fee. The revenues generated from a properly calculated and legally-supported Fire Suppression Facilities and Equipment Impact Fee would be limited to capital costs related to that growth. The fees would be used to construct new stations or expand existing stations (to increase the response capacity of that station) and increase the number of emergency response vehicles. Conversely, the Fire Suppression Facilities DIF receipts would not be used to repair any existing fire stations or replace any existing emergency response vehicles.”

“Table 2-1, is the resulting inventory of all private land uses contained within the current City limits split by what are referred to as General City and Ontario Ranch (essentially the area of the City that is south of Riverside Drive) and are based on the General Plan's land use inventory, a staff analysis of privately held parcels in both of the General City area and the Ontario Ranch area.”
