WHEREAS, as a response to the economic downturn and in an attempt to promote

Vista Ordinance No. 3163, City Council altered the nature of the Deferral Program and extended
its effectiveness through December 31, 2011; and
WHEREAS, the new Deferral Program, rather than requiring developers to pay fees at
permit issuance or enter into an agreement secured by a lien placed on the property to be
developed, allowed for the payment of fees at final inspection; and
WHEREAS, on December 6, 201 I, through the approval and adoption of Ordinance No.
3220, City Council further extended the Deferral Program through December 31, 2012; and
WHEREAS, the current economic climate is a little better than it was at the time the
Deferral Program was implemented; and

WHEREAS, in light of the above, staff is proposing an amendment to Ordinance No.
3163 in order to extend the Deferral Program for an additional year, until December 31, 2013;
and
WHEREAS, on January 1, 2013, unless further extended by approval of the City Council,
the time for the payment of fees will revert back to their traditional triggers: building permit
issuance or final map approval.
