The city council hereby finds and determines that continuing growth and development in the city of Auburn will create additional need and demand for school facilities, and that new growth and development should pay a proportionate share of the cost of developing new facilities needed as a result. Therefore, pursuant to Chapter 82.02 RCW, the council adopts this chapter to address identified impacts of new residential development on schools and to ensure that new development bears a proportionate share of the cost of capital expenditures necessary to meet demands for schools in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare.
