RECOMMENDATIONS
Adopt ordinance increasing in-lieu fee to $855 per dwelling unit
.for East Contra Costa County as delineated by the East County
Planning Commission. ,
FISCAL IMPACT
Increased fees will enable the County to address park acquisition
and development in a more timely manner.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
In September 1986, the Board authorized the use of park dedication
fees in the amount of $18, 000 to hire a consultant to prepare a
Parks Master Plan for the Oakley area. The plan was to include an
implementation plan. In February 1987, the consultant recommended
to the Oakley Municipal Advisory Council that the Park Dedication
Fee be increased. The consultant recommended that the cost of
development be included along with the cost of land in determining
the fee. The Oakley Municipal Advisory Council (OMAC) asked
Supervisor Torlakson to support efforts to raise the fee.
The Community Development Department has reviewed the matter and
with input from Counsel is recommending that the Park Dedication
Ordinance be amended to increase the in-lieu fee from $4 0 to $855.

Proposed Ordinance to Increase In-Lieu Fees
for Park Dedication to $855 in East Contra Costa County

The formula for determining the amount of land required for park
dedication and the in-lieu fee 11, ould be as follows:
Average Household X Standard for Acres = Park Land Per
Size Per 1, 000 Population Dwelling Unit
Park Land Per Value of One
Dwelling Unit X Acre of Park = In Lieu Fee
The average household size for East Contra Costa County is 2. 85.
This figure is determined by Census data.
The standard required by State law is 3 acres per 1,000 population
or . 003 . If existing park land within the jurisdiction exceeds 3
acres a higher standard can be used.
Value of Park Land -- This is allocal determination and therefore
is the key discretionary item in the formula. The value of one
acre of developed park (minimumI development) is $100,000 in East
Contra Costa County. This is the sum of $50,000 per acre land cost
and $50, 000 per acre minimum development costs.
The resulting calculations using the aforementioned formula are
shown below:
2 . 85 x . 003 = . 00855 acres of park per dwelling unit
. 00855 x $100,000 = $855 as the in-lieu fee.
Park Dedication fees in the County vary substantially by
jurisdiction. The range, depending on the type of development, is
from $288 to $2, 500. In the East Contra Costa area the comparisons
are as shown below.
Antioch - $288 per single family dwelling, $682 per condominium
unit, and $877 per apartment. The average is approximately $550.
Brentwood - present in-lieu fee is $557 and an increase is planned.
Pittsburg - the fair market value of 'each individual project is
utilized. A property valued at $50,000 per acre would pay a fee of
$650 per unit and a property valued at $100, 000 would pay $1, 300 per
unit.
In light of the above .information, staff feels that an increase in
the in-lieu fee is warranted.
