TION IMPACT FEES; ESTABLISHING A TRANSPORTA-
TION IMPACT FEE STUDY; REPEALING ORDINANCE
NO. 1856; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY,
CONFLICTS AND EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City Commission of the City of Sanford,
Florida determined it to be in the best interest of the citizens
of the City of Sanford, Florida, that a moratorium on all City or
County transportation impact fees and a study of said fees be
implemented by the City, and enacted Ordinance No. 1856 to
provide for same;
WHEREAS, the City is greatly concerned about the
following:
(1) The power of a noncharter county to enact an
Ordinance which directly affects citizens and their property
rights within an incorporated municipality.
(2) The threat of citizens Screaming "double taxation"
when impact fees are imposed by multiple entities.
(3) The validity of underlying data and assumptions
that went into the creation of the districts and the priorities
for construction and lack of City participation in the data
development process.
(4) That Ordinance No. 1856 previously adopted by the
City and the termination date contained therein will not give the
City time to complete and implement its transportation impact fee
study.
