The board of county commissioners makes the following findings and determinations: (1) The existing emergency services facilities; correctional facilities; public buildings; law enforcement facilities; library facilities; solid waste facilities; park and recreation facilities; public education facilities; and traffic facilities are not sufficient to accommodate anticipated new development without decreasing the existing levels of service of those facilities. (2) Measurable level of service standards used for impact fee calculation purposes are established in this ordinance - - - •--e - e- - -e • - = for each of the above listed public services. Existing revenue sources are not sufficient to fund all capital improvements necessary to accommodate new development.
