FISCAL IMPACT This action will result in the County collecting additional revenues that can only be used to develop new or rehabilitate existing neighborhood or community parks. or recreational facilities in the County. The ' proposal to waive 50 percent of the land and fee requirements for certain affordable housing developments including units constructed or in-lieu fees paid pursuant to the County's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance will reduce the total amount of Quimby fees collected and therefore require the County to secure additional resources to develop the parks and recreational facilities identified in the Contra Costa County Parks Capital Improvement Plan. No impact on the General Fund is expected from this action. CEQA COMPLIANCE Staff completed an Initial Study and determined that adopting Ordinance No. 2007-19 will not have a significant impact on the environment. A Notice of Public Review and Intent to Adopt a Proposed Negative Declaration was published on April 4. 2007, and comments were due by April 23. 2007. No comments were received. CONSE=QUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION If Ordinance No. 2007-19 is not adopted, the current park dedication requirements and in-lieu fees will remain unchanged. BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS i Background: The Parks, Creeks, and Trails Committee (PCTC), staffed by representatives of the Community Development and Public Works departments, was formed in 2001 to improve interdepartmental coordination on park matters. The PCTC meets to address day-to -day business and to formulate recommendations to sustain and improve the County's parks over the long term. i On December 9. 2003, the Board directed the Community Development and Public Works directors to review the County's park dedication fees, which had not been adjusted since 1990. On Juna 5. 2005. the Board accepted an initial draft of the Park Impact Fee Nexus Study ("Study') and directed staff. with guidance from the Transportation. Water. and Infrastructure Committee (TWIG), to present for future Board consideration, draft ordinances to implement the updated park dedication requirernents and new park impact fees described in the Study. Quimby Ordinance: The Government Code contains specific enabling legislation for the acquisition and development of community and neighborhood parks. The legislation, known as the Quimby Act (Gov. Code. 666477). authorizes cities and counties to enact ordinances requiring the dedication of land or payment of fees, or a combination of both, for park or recreational purposes as a condition of approval of a tentative map or parcel map. The ordinance must include definite standards for determining the proportion of a subdivision to be dedicated and amount of any fee to be paid. The County has such an ordinance, codified as Division 920 of the Ordinance Code. The final Park Impact Fees Nexus Study. dated February 2007, recommends, among other things. amendiig the County's Quimby ordinance to increase fees based on the maximum allowable park acreage per capita standard and current land values. Drafts of the Study were reviewed by the TWIC in i August 2004, and in April and May 2005. Staff also met and conferred with the County's Developer Liaison Committee (DLC) in September 2004. The DLC asked a few clarifying questions but did not express any concerns with the implementation of the proposed fees outlined in the Study. j The proposed Quimby fees are based on a park area standard, land costs and average household size per dwelling unit. Park Area Standard: The County currently owns approximately 75.7 acres of developed parkland. This represents a ratio of 0.5 acres of County-owned and developed parkland for every 1,000 people residing in the unincorporated areas of the County. With one exception not relevant here. under the Quimby Act, the dedication of land, or payment of fees, or both,cannot exceed the proportionate amount necessary to provide three acres of park area per 1,000 persons. Because the County's existing park area in the I SD H-CD3(_Park Dedication Trust Fund Board Order re Par,\sus Studs and❑P;Wrnbx Ordmarc—�.I'0—Acz unincorporated areas is less than 3.0 acres per 1.000 residents, staff recommends adopting a parkland standard that is consistent with what is allowed under the Quimby Act — 3.0 acres per 1,000 residents (.003 acres per capita). Land Cost: The current Quimby fees the County is collecting are based on outdated land values of $145.000 per acre in West/Central County, and $75,000 per acre in East County. As part of the process of reviewing how the County collects fees to develop and improve parks; a survey was conducted to determine current land values in West/Central and East County. The results of the survey indicate that the land value assumptions should be increased to S500.000 per acre (West/Central County) and $350,000 per acre (East County). Staff believes that an argument could be made for higher land costs, however, the recommended amounts per acre appear to be the most appropriate conservative figures. Given the per capita parkland standard and the land cost per acre. the cost of land per capita is $1,500 (.003 Y. $500,000) and S1.050 (.003 x 350,000) for West'Central County and East County respectively. Average Household Size: Because the proposed Quimby fees are based on per capita need and level of service, staff recommends the allocation of park fees to the different residential land uses or housing types since different housing types have different household sizes. The County's current Quimby ordinance does not calculate fees based on household size. Based on 2000 U.S. Census information, staff recommends applying the following average household size per dwelling unit: Single--Family Detached: 2.993 Townhomes: 2.380 Multi-Family Unit: 2.155 Mobile Home: 2.009 Proposed Fee Calculation: The following tables present the calculation of the proposed Quimby fees based on the average household size and per capita land cost as discussed above and compares the proposed fees with the current Quimby fees: West/Central County Avg. Park Acquisition Proposed Existing Categories HH size Cost per Capita Quimby Fee Quimby Fee I Single-Family Detached 2.993 S1.500 $4,489 S2,000 Townhomes 2.380 S1,500 $3,571 S2,000 Multi-Family Unit 2.155 S1.500 $3,233 S2,000 Mobile Home 2.009 S1,500 $3,014 S2,000 East County Avg. Park Acquisition Proposed Existing Categories HH size Cost per Capita Quimby Fee Quimby Fee Single-Family Detached 2.993 $1.050 $3,142 $1.350 Townhomes 2.380 $1.050 $2,499 $1.350 Multi-Family Unit 2.155 $1.050 $2,263 $1,350 Mobile Home 2.009 $1,050 $2,109 $1.350 Appendix D from the Park Impact Fee Nexus Study compares the County's current and proposed fees with park dedication and park impact fees of other jurisdictions. The Contra Costa County Parks Capital Improvement Plan. dated January 2007, adopted on May 1, 2007, provides a schedule for how and when the park or recreational facilities financed with the Quimby fees will be developed. Parkland Dedication Requirement: Any developer may propose to dedicate land for park development purposes instead of paying a fee or do a combination thereof. The County determines during the land use approval process whether the land dedication is an acceptable proposal. The components used to calculate the land dedication requirement includes the average household size per dwelling unit data, the park area standard, and the number of units in a proposed development. Given the average household size and park area standard described above, the proposed parkland dedication requirement for the various housing types is as follows: i I KD N:CCBG-Par4 D,d:ca=�nr.T_nsr Fund Beard Ord--r re Park New,S:udv and CIP±QAn—bx Ord:nancei 1:-ill-doc i i Single-Family Detached: 391 sq. ft. Townhomes: 311 sq. ft. Multi-Family Unit: 282 sq. ft. ! Mobile Home: 263 sq. ft. ' The current land dedication requirement is 350 sq. ft per dwelling unit. Consequently, for a hypothetical subdivision containing 500 single family detached units, the parkland dedication requirement under the proposed Quimby ordinance is 4.5 acres (500 units x 391 sq. ft.). Under the current ordinance, the dedication requirement is 4.0 acres. Because the current dedication requirement does not adjust for household type. developers of multifamily projects and mobile homes will dedicate less land for park and recreational purposes under the proposed ordinance. i Waiver for Affordable Housing Developments: At the May 1. 2007. public hearing. the Board directed staff to revise the provision providing a 50 percent waiver of the Quimby fee and land dedication requirements for affordable housing units to include inclusionary units under the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (Chapter 822-4 of the County Ordinance Code). I Sectiol VI of proposed Ordinance No. 2007-19 (see pages 2 and 3) has been revised by adding Section (b) — Inclusionary Housing Units. As proposed. 50 percent of the Quimby fee and land dedication requirements shall be waived for each rental unit and for each for-sale unit developed under the terms and conditions of Section 822-4.410(a) and Section 822-4.410(b), respectively. In cases where the develcper decides to pay the inclusionary in-lieu fee instead of constructing inclusionary units. 50 percent of the Quimby fee and land dedication requirements shall be waived for the number of inclusionary units for which the in-lieu fee is paid. The following example shows the financial impact of the proposed waivers on a 100 unit for-sale development of single family detached homes. in west or central County, when a developer constructs the affordable housing units pursuant to the Inclusionary Housing i Ordinance and when the developer pays the in-lieu fee. i Developer Constructs Inclusionary Units Quimby Fee/Unit Subtotal Market Rate Units 85 $4,489 $ 381.565 Affordable Units 15 S2.245 $ 33.675 Total Quimby Fee: S 415.240 Developer Pays In-Lieu Fee: I Quimby Fee/Unit Subtotal I Market Rate Units 85 $4.489 $ 381.565 Market Rate Units 15 S2._245 $ 33.675 In-Lieu Fee Paid Total Quimby Fee: S 415.240 i As the above example shows, the Park Impact Fee paid is the same whether or not the developer I decides to construct the affordable units required by the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance or if the developer pays the in-lieu fee. Residential Second Units: Also at the May 1, 2007. public hearing, the Board directed staff to exempt second units from the Park Impact Fee as defined in Section 82-24.004 of the County Ordinance and Gover-invent Code section 65852.2. A provision has been added at Section I and Section IV of proposed Ordincance No. 2007-19, exempting second units. Conclusion: In order to provide additional funds for new parks and rehabilitation of existing parks. staff recommends amending the County's Park Dedication Ordinance to adjust dedication requirements and fees to reflect average household sizes and changes in land values since 1990. The proposal to waive 50 percent of the land and fee requirements for certain affordable housing developments including units constructed or in-lieu fees paid pursuant to the County's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance will reduce the total amount of Quimby fees collected. but the overall impact on the County's efforts to develop parks and recreational facilities is expected to be minimal. i ISD I CE-BG Park D_dica%ei-Trrr Pend 3eard Order re Park\exu�S:nd�and CIP:Quribv Ordinance}5 1 i i Attachments: 1.

Executive Summary This Falk Impact Fees Nexus Study(`Study')was prepared pursuant to the `Mitigation Fee Acf as l 1` found in Government Code§60^000 net. seq. and the"Quimby Act" as codified in. Government Code § 66477. The purpose of this Study is to establish the legal and policy basis for calculating the imposition of park impact fees on new residential development within the unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County(`County"). g` The County is initiating preparation of a Parks and Trails Master Paan (`�"aster Pian°) to provide a �. `comprehensive and feasible vision" of the park and recreational facility needs of the current and future residents of the unincorporated areas of the County. in order to provide adequate funding to f achieve these long-term objectives, this Study proposes two types of park fees. F First. the County's parkiand dedication requirement and in-iieu fees are updated to reflect current r land values and the County's maximum allowable park acreage per capita standard under the Quimby Act. The land andlor fees ('Quimby Act in lieu fees') are required as a condition of ` ` subdivsion map approval and may be used to develop new or rehabilitate existing parks or r recreational facilities. i Secondly, a park impact fee. as authorized by the passage of A3 1600 (known as the Mitigation i- Fee Act). is proposed to finance the costs of park improvements to serve new development. in general, these fees may only be used to develop new park or recreational facilities. They are justified as an offset to the future impact of residential development on the County's existing park and recreational facilities. The combination of Quimby Act fees and park impact fees imposed on new residential development provides a sound and comprehensive park fee program. The imposition of both fees ensures that financial impact from all residential development (subdivided or non-subdivided projects) on County parks and recreational facilities are fully recovered. Furthermore, the parkland dedication requirement under the Quimby Act allows the County to require the dedication of land for park facilities. With only Quimby in-iieu fees in place, the County could only accept fees for the costa land accuisition and purchase the land via willing sellers. Moreover. the park impact fees also provide for park deveiopmeni costs, inciuding the costs of community use facilities; administrative facilities and maintenance facilities. Under the Quimby Act, oniy the cost of land acquisition is allowed in the calculation." _vec Min land va`.;ie is the ory ccs:oo conen:ahviecl:n ine calcuincn o`fie Ou;mby IR-I eu fee.reverue from- shell fees may oe scent or 3arktand accl:isi c7 and deV :oC?:e GT 9eY!D2rks Gr"ell"cDII':aiion Of eXEsilflo Da(;(5. Park Impact Fee Nexus Study.2007 =- - Counb of Contra Costa --"- ;onsureinai pup i Gaye 2 Procedurally, this Study recommends that the County subject all residential development to the park impact fee and that residential development subject to the Quimby Act receive a credit against the park impact fee equal to the value of land dedicated or fees paid in-lieu of dedication. Since the need for park and recreational services is inherently population-driven, this Nexus Study utilizes a per capita standard-based methodology to calculate the County's park impact fees. ' Under this method, the cost components are first defined on a per capita basis. The per capita costs are based on average unit costs from the Parks CIP and level of service (`LOS") standards. The total per capita costs for park and recreation facilities needed for new residential development are then applied to four residential land uses according their respective average household popuiation to estabiish a cost'fee per unit. 1.1 Summary of General Findings Based on a review of the Contra Costa County Parks Capital Improvement Pian ( Parks CIP"). the I General Plan, and applicable County ordinances, the following general findings are presented: 1. The Quimby Act alloys for a higher standard than 3.0 acres for every 1.000 residents if the jurisdiction provides a higher acreage per capita. However, the County historically has provided less than 3.0 acres; therefore, the minimum standards of 3.0 park acres per 1.000 population will be used in this Study. 2. The Parks CIP outlines new parks to be constructed and improvements at existing parks over the next five years to serve existing residents and new residents from new development. According to the Parks CIP, the average cost of new park construction is S298,413 per acre and the average cost of park improvements at existing parks is $301,123 per acre. 3. The Countys parkiand dedication requirement and in-lieu fee ordinance has not been updated since 1990. Pursuant to Chapter 920-0" of the County Ordinance Code. the County currently requires 350 square feet of land per new dwelling unit to be dedicated for i Dark and recreational purposes. In subdivisions containing fewer than 50 parcels. only the payment of fees is required. Those fees are currently S2.000 per dwelling unit: except for East County,where the fee is$1.350 per dwelling unit. 4. The County's current park dedication requirement and in-lieu fees are based on 1990 U.S. Census foures for average household size: land values of 5145.000 (`!vest and Central County) and S75.000 (East County); and include park deveiopment costs of S85.000 per acre.

The County's parkland dedication requirement ordinance should be amended to reflect average household size, based on the 2000 U.S. Census, of the four housing types shown F= below. Table 1 —Recommended Parkland Dedication Requirement(Quimby) Quimby Park Dedication Requirement(Sq.Ft per ,- Housing Types Dwelling Unit) t Single-Family Detached 391 t To::nhomes 311 t uai-Fa nily Unit 282 f Mobile Home 283 - i- 2. The County's in-lieu fees ordinance should be amended to reflect changes in land values [ and the average household size (based on the 2000 U.S. Census) for the four housing (_ types shown below. Since land costs in the eastern areas of the County were found to be relatively lower than the rest of the County, separate in-iieu fees for East Contra Costa County should be maintained. The recommended in-lieu fees are presented in the following table.

The County should establish new park impact fees to fairly allocate the costs of park development to all new residential development. The following park impact fees for the County are recommended: Table 3—Recommended Park Impact Fees Park Impact Fees per Dwelling Unit West 1 Central Contra East Contra Categories Costa County Costa County Sncle-Family Detached 57.238 55.801 To=horres 55.757 54.686 Multi-Farniiy Unit 55.213 54.243 Vi obi!e Home 3:.850 53.955 Second Un;ts S2.419 51.969 4. If the County requires a developer; as a condition of project approval,to dedicate parkland, to pay fees in-lieu of parkland dedication and or construct facilities or improvements. the park impact fees imposed on that development project should be adjusted to reflect a credit for the cost of the dedicated parkland, facilities or improvements constructed, or amount of fees paid in-lieu of parkland dedication by the developer. 5.

Park Dedication Requirement and In-Lieu Fees (Quimby) t The Government Code contains specific enabling legislation for the acquisition and development of community and neighborhood parks by a city or county. This legislation, codified as Section 60477 of the Government Code and known commonly as the `Quimby Act," establishes criteria for charging new development for park facilities based on specific park standards. This Section presents the calculation of the park dedication requirement and in-lieu fees based on the per capita = cost of land acquisition in West'Central County and East County for different residential land uses _ l t { in the County. _ r 2.1 Parkland Standard Based on the County's current park inventory.the County currently owns approximately 75.7 acres of developed parkland. This represents a ratio of 0.5 acres of County owned and developed parkland for every 1.000 people in the unincorporated a-eas of the County.z Under the Quimby Act. "the dedication of land; or payment of fees; or both; cannot exceed the proportionate amount necessary to provide three acres of park area per 1.000 persons residing within the subdivision. _ unless the amount of existing neighborhood and community park area exceeds that limit.` Though not relevant to unincorporated Contra Costa County, if existing park area exceeds three acres per 4 1.000 persons. the legislative body may adopt the calculated amount as a higher standard not to exceed five acres per 1.000 persons residing within a subdivision.3 t-- Since the County's existing park area for the unincorporated areas is less than 3.0 acres per 1.000 E residents. the County's maximum dedication andor fee allowed under the Quimby Act is three acres of parkland for every 1000 persons. (Appendix A presents the County's owned parkland inventory.) i a The Couny also owns 39.2 acres of undeve^ped parkland.

As shown; land value for West and Central County is estimated to be S500.000 per acre. However, in the eastern areas of the County, land values are relatively lower than other areas of the County. Therefore, as shown in Table 6, the per capita cost for parkland acquisition in East Contra Costa County assumes a land value of S350.000.per acre. Arguments for higher land costs can be made; however: the presented amounts per acre appear be the most appropriate conservative figures for the purposes of this Study.; Table 5—Parkland Acquisition Cost per Capita (West 1 Central County) Acres per 1,000 Acres per Land Cost Fee Component PopulationCapita' Cost Per Acre per Capita Parklano Aaquisiton 3.0 0.003 5500.003 51.500 Noir 3ased oa 3.0 acres.ner 1.0 tooL;aO'cr Cc^cc•s,arcard.

Park Impact Fees (AB 1600) This Section presents the calculation of the park impact fees based on the per capita cost for acquisition, development of park; community use. and support facilities and associated costs for j the different residential land uses in the County. In order to impose such fees, this Section will demonstrate that a reasonable relationship or j "nexus exists between new development that occurs within the unincorporated areas of the County and the need for additional developed parkland and recreational facilities as a result of new development. More specifically, this Study wili present findings in order to meet the procedural requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act. also known as AB 1000.which are as follows: 1. Identify the purpose of the fee. 2. Identify the use to which the fee is to be put. 3. Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fee's use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. r 4. Determine how there is a reasonabie relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. 5. Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the pubiic facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the -- development on which the fee is imposed. 3.1 Parkland Acquisition Costs per Capita Because the Quimby Act applies only to subdivisions. the acquisition of parkland to serve the residents from non-subdivision projects (e.g., apartment projects, single units on existing parcels or residential second units) must be handled though park impact fees. On the following page, Table 9 summaries the per capita cost of acquiring parkland in the unincorporated areas of the County. Agair, parkland acquisition costs are based on iand vaiue estimates of S500.000 Der acro for!Nest and Central County and S350.000 per acre for cast County from the Parks CIP. As shown.the 3.0 g acre per 1.000 population standard is multiplied by the estimated per acre cost to arrive at a per capita cost for each County area.

Park Impact Fee Nexus Study.2007 =-�— – County o:Contra Costa =-C Consuttinai:roup A =i 3.7 Nexus Findings This sub-section frames the results of Section 3 in terms of the leaisiated requirements to demonstrate the legal justification of the park impact fees.. The justification of the park impact fees on new development must provide information as set forh in Government Code § 66000 et seq. The requirements are discussed below. i .3 3 •F t Purpose of Fees _= The purpose of the park impact fees are to acquire and develop parkland, improve existing parks = and recreation facilities and provide recreational and community use and support facilities to meet the needs of the new residential population within the unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County. Use of Fees The park impact fee proceeds will be used for(1) parkland acquisition and (2) the development of the park and recreational improvements identified in the Parks PIP (including but not limited to costs of design. construction and associated California =nvironmental Quality Act compliance activities). The park impact fee proceeds may not be used to fund park maintenance or operational costs. Relationship Between Use of Fees and Type of Development =- New residential development in the unincorporated areas of the County will create additional demand for parks and recreational services. In order to adequately serve additional population to be housed in new development, neer park and recreation facilities and support facilities are needed and existing parks need to be improved to accommodate the additional demand for parks and recreation services generated by new development. The new park and park rehabilitation projects are identified in the Parks CIP. The use of the park impact fees (acquisition, construction and rehabilitation of park and recreational facilities) is therefore reasonably related to the type of _- development project(new residential development) upon which the fee will be imposed. Relationship Between the Need for Improvements and Type of Development Since the need for park and recreational services is inherently population-driver:. new residents from new development will increase the demand for park and recreational services and the = associated need for park and recreational faciiities tc serve them. To meet this additional demand. new paries should be constructed and existing parks should be rehabilitated so they car. -_ accommodate additiona'. increased use. Therefore, a reasonable relationship exists between the =_ need-for new and rehabilitated park and recreational facilities and the new residential development projects upon which the park impact fee wilt be imposed. _° - v e Park Imoact Fee Nexus Study.2007 =_ cant of 0cn ra C3sta -onsuttingGr oup Pam 16 Relationship Between the Amount of the Fees and the Costs Attributable to New Development The cost of park and recreational facility improvements attributable to a unit of residential development are defined on a cost per capita basis and based on average unit costs from the Parks UP and the County s level of service standards for providing such facilities. The park impact fee is determined by applying the total cost per capita to four residential. land uses according to their respective average household size. There is therefore a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fees and the costs of the park and recreational facilities attributable to the neer residential development upon which the fee will be imposed. i i Park Impact Fee Nexus Study,2007 = — :cunt,o`vontra-.Os-La On Slaiirigiy ro UD I .g =1 6-_ F Paae 17 , Section 4.

Average Household Size by Housing Type Since the park fees are based on per capita need and level of service: this Study recommends the . allocation of the park fees to the different residential land uses (or housing types): since different housing types have different household sizes. Based on 2000 U.S. Census information: Table 20 presents the average household size calculation for four housing types: detached single-family homes, attached single-family homes(or tovmhomes), mu:ti-family residences and mobile homes.

Description of Project: The proposed amendments to the Park Dedication Ordinance include:increasing the land dedication requirements;increasing the amount of fees required in lieu of land dedication;and providing a waiver I of dedication and fee requirements for specified affordable housing developments. I The proposed Park Impact Fee Ordinance provides for the adoption of fees to be used for the acquisition of parkland and development of parks and recreation facilities required to serve n--%,- residential ewresidential development in unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County. Currently.the County does not assess a park impact fee. The proposed Contra Costa County Parks Capital Improvement Plan (Parks CIP)outlines park and recreational facility improvements needed in order to provide park and recreational services to the I growing communities in the unincorporated ares of the County'and which will be partially financed with the funds collected from the Park Impact Fee. The Pants CIP is divided into the following four categories: I a. Construction of new parks(Appendix A improvements 1 —14).and new community,use and support faciiities(_Appendix A improvements. .5—=0). b. Improvements to existing parks (Appendix A improvements — 37). The Parks CII' proposes to add additional lighting at three parks wnere lighting aiready exis:s(Appendix.t 1 e Fk5 S i 4E improvements :.==and 23).Am•new iiahtins or improvements to exiting light fit-tures will E ensure that these fixtures do not create Blare and shine onto adiacent Dronerties. During construction of each of the proposed improvements.applicable storm water runoff restrictions of Contra Costa Counn will be observed. All proposed restrooms and drinking fountains will �- comply with environmental health requirements and appiicabie public sanitation requirements. C. Improvements to parks on school property(appendix A improvements 3S—?4). Ione of the anticipated improvements are generators of emissions that could negatively impact human health or the environment nor would they generate sufficient vehicular traffic to indirectly constitute a significant secondary effect. 9.
