13.06.110 Water capacity fees—Economic development incentives.

(A) At the written request of the applicant, and with the approval by resolution of the city council, an applicant may enter into an agreement with the city for a revised water capacity fee upon finding of one or more of the following conditions:

(1) The project provides a needed public service to the city of American Canyon or its residents;

(2) The project provides a significant contribution of sales tax or transient occupancy tax to the city of American Canyon;

(3) Based on an independent economic analysis, a project water demand for an inside-the-city application for water service might vary by more than ten percent from anticipated water demand calculated in accordance with Table 13.06.020, including the addition of an allowance for unmetered water losses throughout the city's water system.

(B) Agreements for a revised water capacity fee shall be approved by a resolution of the city council.

(C) An applicant may enter into an agreement with the city to provide improvements to the city water system that are off-site to the project or oversized. In such an event, the applicant may be reimbursed the cost of such facility from water capital improvement funds, not to exceed that portion of the improvement considered off-site or oversized to the applicant's project.

(D) The city may require an applicant to construct oversize or off-site facilities as shown on the capital improvement program adopted by the city council, if the applicant's project increases the city's water system average-day annual demand by two percent or greater as determined by the city engineer. In such cases, the applicant shall be offered a credit against water connection fees in the amount of the estimated off-site or oversized facilities to applicant's project.
