LANDSCAPE-MAINTENANCE DISTRICTS: NUMBER DATE PAGE
PAYMENT OF CONNECTION CHARGES
8/2/88
BACKGROUND
The City of Redding has required and will continue to require the formation of
landscape-maintenance districts in conjunction with the approval of subdivi-
sions which are located on the City' s arterial street system. These develop-
ments are required to install landscaping within the public right-of-way,
including all associated improvements such as irrigation systems and automatic
valve controls. The maintenance districts are thereafter responsible for the
yearly maintenance of the landscaping. The issue is: Should the developer
also pay all the existing water and electric meter connection charges?
PURPOSE
It is the purpose of this policy to clearly delineate the responsibility of
subdivision developers with respect to the provisions of water and electric
meters associated with landscape maintenance districts.
POLICY •
It shall be the policy of the City of Redding that the developer(s) of
subdivisions , where landscape-maintenace districts are required to be formed as
a condition of subdivision approval , shall pay all water and electric meter
fees required to connect to the City utility systems. Such fees include, but
are not limited to, meter fees, connection charges, development fees, benefit
fees , and inspection fees.
PROCEDURE
The conditions of approval for subdivisions where landscape-maintenance
district formation is required shall specify that the above fees shall be the
responsibility of the developer.
