As new land development and construction takes place in the city, additional traffic is generated in the vicinity that contributes to the degradation of traffic safety and mobility. Conversely, the construction of new and the improvement of existing streets can provide for increased traffic safety and mobility. The city council has determined that said street construction and improvements must be provided for in a timely manner, in the interests of the safety and welfare of the citizens of Marina, and that real property that is newly developed or constructed upon shall pay its fair share of said street improvement costs. Since new development most often does not occur in a timely manner so as to insure the construction of street improvements which provide the most safe and efficient traffic circulation pattern for the city, the purpose and intent of this chapter is to permit the city to construct street improvements as reasonably necessary in advance of new development which will be served thereby, and to thereafter recover the cost of said improvements from said new developments and land construction as they occur. The requirements and fees set forth herein are enacted pursuant to constitutional and statutory authority including, but not limited to, the municipal police power, the Subdivision Map Act (Government Code Section 66410 et seq.) and Chapter 15.36 of this code.
