The purpose of this article is to implement, in part, the Modesto Urban Area General Plan.

The General Plan states that certain public facilities should be financed by special assessment proceedings, considerations from developers, the City's general fund or some combination thereof. The City Council finds and declares that this article is intended to establish procedures for the implementation of policies for lands that will receive special benefits from the acquisition, construction, and improvement of certain public facilities set forth in this article and the imposition of special assessments is necessary on land related to benefits received.
