AN ORDINANCE
ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTIONS FOR
PARK CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

and excessive demands upon public facilities and services that are
specifically and uniquely attributable to those developments; and
WHEREAS, such effected public facilities and services include
park capital improvements; and
WHEREAS, planning projections indicate that such development
shall continue and shall place ever increasing demands on the City
of Elgin relating to park capital improvements; and
WHEREAS, to the extent that new development places demands
upon park capital improvements which are specifically and uniquely
attributable to that development, those demands should be satisfied
by requiring that developments creating the demands pay the cost of
meeting the demands; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, after review and careful
consideration, hereby finds and declares that park capital
improvement contributions required of territory annexed to the city
and new development thereon to finance specified park capital
improvements, the demand for which is created by such development,
is in the best interests of the general welfare of the city and its
residents, is equitable, and does not impose an unfair burden on
such development; and
WHEREAS, Section 17 . 01 . 060 of the Elgin Municipal Code, 1976,
