12.36.030 Application.
A. Where County road improvements are required as a prerequisite to further property development, an Owner may apply, upon forms prescribed by the Department of Planning and Public Works ("Department"), for the establishment of a Cost Recovery Contract. An application, with requisite attachments, shall be filed with the Department. The application shall include:

2. A detailed description of the County road improvements which will be constructed by the Owner;
3. An estimate of the cost of the improvement(s);
4. A map showing the preliminary Cost Recovery Area boundaries for the specific properties which the Owner believes to be "benefited" properties in that they would require similar road improvements or traffic impact mitigation as the Owner as a result of further property development;
5. A list containing the tax account number and the names and addresses of each owner of record, contract seller and contract purchaser and mortgagee, if any, of each ownership of property as shown on the tax rolls of the County Treasurer within the proposed Cost Recovery Area boundaries;
6. A statement of the estimated pro rata reimbursement shares to be paid by the property owner of each lot, tract or parcel within the proposed Cost Recovery Area and the method for determining apportionment of such pro rata reimbursement shares among the affected lots, tracts or parcels that are within the proposed Cost Recovery Area;
7. A statement of the period, not to exceed 15 years, for which pro rata reimbursement share will be required; and
8. An application fee in the amount specified in PCC 12.36.060.
B. Upon receiving an application for establishment of a Cost Recovery Contract, the County Engineer shall determine the sufficiency of the application for establishment of a Cost Recovery Contract using the following criteria:
1. Whether the application contains and addresses all of the elements contained in PCC 12.36.030;
2. The level of development existing or immediately proposed in the Cost Recovery Area;
3. The "benefit" to owners of undeveloped or underdeveloped properties within the proposed Cost Recovery Area assuming such property owners would be required to make similar improvements or provide equivalent mitigation of traffic impacts if they developed their property;
4. The existing and projected level of service and/or adequacy of the County roads involved;
5. The condition of the roads to be improved; and
6. Whether or not further development can occur without roadway improvements.
