The City Council of the City , of Chula Vista does ordain as
follows :

Chapter 35 of the Chula Vista City Code be, and the sane are hereby

Sec. 35 .401. Purpose and Intent.
� It is the purpose of the City Council of the City of
Chula Vista in adopting a residential construction tax to
provide a more equitable distribution of the burden of
financing parks, open spaces and public facilities and
other capital improvements, the need for which is created
by the increasing population of the City. It is intended
that the residential construction tax shall be applicable
to all new residential units and/paid by the person con-
structing said units if said pe{son has not dedicated
park lands or paid fees in lieu thereof as a condition
of approval of a subdivision map. The City Council
hereby declares that the fees required to be paid hereby
are assessed pursuant to the taxing power of the City and
solely for the purpose of producing revenue . The con-
tinued increase in the development of dwelling units in
the City with the attendant increase to the population of
the City has created an urgency in that there are insuf-
ficient funds available for the increased demand for
capital items required to serve the increasing population
of the City.
It is further the purpose of the City Council, in light
of the fact that the conversion of apartment buildings in
multiple family zones from single, corporate or partnership �
ownership to condominium ownership affords to purchasers
of such condominiums a single family ownership status with
a greater density allowable than in the single family resi-
dential zones , to require the payment of the residential
construction tax if said tax has not been paid at the time
of the construction of the multiple family dwelling unit or
park land or in lieu fees been previously paid at the time
of subdivision in order to support the demands for said
public facilities and capital improvemerits as indicated
hereinabove.
Sec. 35. 403 . Definitions
(a) As used herein the term "person" includes every
