1. The City Council finds that development agreements can strengthen the public planning process, encourage private participation in comprehensive planning by providing a greater degree of certainty in that process, reduce the economic costs of development, allow for the orderly planning of public improvements and services, allocate costs to achieve maximum utilization of public and private resources in the development process, and assure that appropriate measures to enhance and protect the environment are achieved

2. The City Council further finds and determines that the public health, safety and general welfare will be furthered by the adoption of an ordinance establishing procedures for entering into and administering development agreements to accomplish the foregoing purposes and corresponding benefits. (Ord. 6033-NS § 1, 1991)
