§ 58-166. Findings.  


Latest version.
  • The Board of Commissioners of Fulton County, Georgia, finds and declares that:

    (1)

    Land development shall not be allowed unless adequate public facilities are available or are ensured;

    (2)

    New land development in identified service areas shall bear a proportionate share of the cost of new public facilities to serve new growth and development;

    (3)

    The imposition of impact fees is a preferred method of regulating land development in order to ensure that it bears a proportionate share of the cost of new public facilities necessary to accommodate the new growth and development and to promote and protect the public health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of Fulton County; and

    (4)

    Fulton County must expand its public facilities in order to maintain current levels of service if new development and growth is to be accommodated without decreasing the level of service.
