These fees are not applicable to the unincorporated County portion of the Yuba City Sphere of Influence ("SOI"); see Table ES-2 for fees applicable to the SOI. Also, the Sutter County Fire Protection fee is not applicable to County Service Area G ("CSA G") and the Meridian and Sutter Basin Fire Protection Districts. These independent fire protection districts have their own fees.

Fee applies only to development in County Service Areas ("CSA") C, D, and F. CSA G will receive fire protection services from the Yuba City Fire Department. The majority of CSA G lies within the Yuba City SOI; however, CSA G also includes areas north of Pease Road and south of Bogue Road and a small subdivision along Franklin Road just west of the Yuba City SOI. These areas are outside of the Yuba City SOI but within unincorporated Sutter County. For these areas, Sutter County will collect Yuba City's Fire Protection impact fee from future development and pass it through to Yuba City.

^sup>3 The County will collect Yuba City's levee fee only from development in the Yuba City basin. (Appendix E).

Fee Adjustments. The fees will be increased each year by the U. S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consumers, San Francisco All Items.

Development within the Yuba City SOI will be charged the Yuba City Fire Protection fee and not the Sutter County Fire Protection fee. Sutter County will also collect the Yuba City Road, Parks and Recreation, and Levee fees and may also collect other development impact fees for the City of Yuba City in the SOI area. The County will collect Yuba City's Levee fee only from development occurring in the Yuba City Basin. (see Appendix E)

The Yuba City Fire Department provides fire protection services to the entire CSA G area. Therefore, Sutter County will collect the Yuba City Fire Protection impact fee for all unincorporated Sutter County areas that lie within CSA G. This includes the CSA G areas north of Pease Road and south of Bogue Road and a small subdivision along Franklin Road just west of the Yuba City SOI, all which lie outside of the Yuba City SOI.

Fee Adjustments. The fees will be increased each year by the U. S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index - All Urban Consumers, San Francisco All Items.

The county development services department director shall calculate the fees applicable for the periods commencing March 1, 2012 and every March 1 thereafter, based upon the provisions of this ordinance as soon as practicable after the necessary CPI information becomes available. If the CPI, as now constituted, compiled, and published shall cease to be compiled and published, or is calculated on a significantly different basis following the effective date of this section, the most comprehensive official Index published that most closely approximates the rate of inflation shall be used for purposes of computing fees pursuant to this section.

The above fees shall be reviewed by the Board of Supervisors and adjusted pursuant to Section 1360-120. A description of the benefit and impact areas on which the fee is imposed, a list of the specific public improvements to be financed, the estimated cost of these improvements, and the reasonable relationship between this fee and the various types of new developments and the time for payment are set forth in the STUDY. To the extent that the development impact fee includes components for financing projects already included in fees collected under other County ordinances, such fees when paid will be a credit against the appropriate components of the development impact fee. To the extent that some or all of the projects financed or to be financed by the development impact fee are financed through a community facilities district, special assessment district, or other financing mechanism, participation in such other financing mechanism shall be a credit against the appropriate component of the development impact fee. This development impact fee will be paid by each applicant for a building permit for new construction at a time elected by the applicant which will be either prior to issuance of the building permit or prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for commercial or industrial structures or the individual dwelling units in a residential project, or at such earlier time permitted by law as set forth in, if applicable, Government Code Section 66007. On an annual basis, the Board of Supervisors will review the fees to determine whether the fee amounts are reasonably related to the burden of developments and whether the described public facilities are still needed.

As used in this section, "building permit" does not include a building permit for remodeling or reconstruction if the use of the structure does not change.
