D. Implementation of a road fee structure to require future road impact construction to contribute its fair share of the cost of required transportation capital improvements and additions is an integral and vital element ofthe regulatory plan of growth management incorporated in the comprehensive plan. E. The projected capital improvements and additions to the major road system of the City and the allocation of projected costs between those necessary to serve existing development and those required to accommodate traffic to be generated by road impact construction, as presented in the study entitled "Transportation Plan and Impact Fee Update -- City of Casselberry, Florida," approved and adopted by the City Commission on October 18, 1999, and such projections are found to be in conformity with the comprehensive plan. F. Transportation planning is an evolving process, and the capital improvements and additions to the major road system identified upon the date of adoption of the ordinance from which this Ordinance is derived constitute projections of growth patterns and transportation improvements and additions based upon present knowledge and judgment. Therefore, in recognition of changing growth patterns and the dynamic nature of population growth, it is the intent of the City Commission that the identified improvements and additions to the major road system be reviewed and adjusted periodically to ensure that road impact fees are imposed equitably and lawfully and are utilized effectively based upon actual and anticipated traffic conditions at the time of their imposition. G. The City has a statutory responsibility to provide and maintain the City road system. All road impact construction occurring in the City has an impact upon the need for future improvements and additions to the major road system. Placing a fair share of the burden of the cost of providing improvements and additions to the major road system required by growth on road impact construction constitutes a City purpose. In recognition ofthese findings, it is the intent ofthe City Commission to impose the Citywide road impact fee on all road impact construction occurring within the City, and to utilize the proceeds of such Citywide road impact fees to construct or acquire the contemplated improvements to the major road system. H. The purpose of this Ordinance is to require payment of Citywide impact fees by road impact construction and to provide for the cost of capital improvements to the major road system which are required to accommodate the additional traffic demand caused by such road impact construction. This Ordinance shall not be construed to permit the collection of impact fees from road impact construction in excess of the amount reasonably anticipated to offset the demand on the major road system generated by such road impact construction.
