§ 811.0101. Intent.

The intent of this chapter is to require the payment of drainage fees for most new construction that is within an adopted Local Area Drainage Plan. Such fees shall be paid prior to the issuance of building permits for the purposes of defraying the actual or estimated costs of constructing planned drainage facilities. The authority for this Chapter is derived from the power granted to local governments by the Constitution of the State of California to preserve the public health, safety and general welfare.
