Increased fees will enable the County to address park acquisition
and development in a more timely manner.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
On December 21, 1989, the Board of Supervisors adopted an urgency
interim ordinance to increase in-lieu park dedication fees in East
Contra Costa County. This ordinance was extended on January 16,
1990. It will be up for extension again on February 13, 1990 .
This permanent ordinance will not take effect for 60 days after
adoption.
There is an urgent need to increase park dedication fees in East
Contra Costa County. The fees currently required do not reflect
current land values and park development costs. Inflation in
values has been dramatic since the last ordinance revisi in 1987 .

The formula for fee calculation, using $75, 000 an acre for land
value and $85 , 000 an acre for minimal development (turf and
irrigation is $60,000 alone) , is attached.
The formula for determining the amount of land required for park
dedication. and the in-lieu fee would be as follows:
Average Household Standard for Acres Park Land Per
Size X 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 a local determination and therefore is
the key discretionary item in the formula. The value of one acre
of developed park (minimum development) is $160,000 in East Contra
Costa County. This is the sum of $75,000 per acre land cost and
$85,000 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 $160, 000 = $1,350 as (rounded) 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 $70- to $4,000.
In light of the above information, staff feels that an increase in
the in-lieu fee is warranted.
