Much of the existing development in the city lacks full public improvements. The city council has determined that the lack of said public improvements may be injurious to the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Marina, and may detract from the overall character of the community.

Therefore, the city council desires to achieve a uniformity of public improvements which will provide more efficient facilities and systems and will reduce the burden of maintenance of said facilities and systems. (Ord. 78-5 § 1, 1978)
