A. The purpose of this chapter is to implement the capital facilities and park and recreation elements of the Monroe comprehensive plan, SEPA and the GMA by:

1. Ensuring that adequate park, open space and recreation facilities are available to serve new development;

2. Maintaining the high quality of life in Monroe by ensuring that growth pays for growth and that existing service levels for existing residents and businesses are not adversely impacted by growth and new development activity; and

3. Establishing standards and procedures whereby new development pays its proportionate share of the cost of park, open space and recreation facilities that are reasonably related to the new development, and whereby park, open space and recreation facilities are jointly financed by public and private interests.

B. The provisions of this chapter shall be liberally construed to effectively carry out its purpose in the interest of the public health, safety and welfare. (Ord. 005/2019 § 8)
