General Assumptions
Tyler and the City will use this SOW as a guide for managing the implementation of the Tyler Project as provided and described in the Agreement. There are a few assumptions which, when acknowledged and adhered to, will support a successful implementation. Assumptions related to specific work packages are documented throughout the SOW. Included here are general assumptions which should be considered throughout the overall implementation process.
Project
Project activities will begin after the Agreement has been fully executed. The City Project Team will complete their necessary assignments in a mutually agreed upon timeframe to meet the scheduled go-live date, as outlined in the Project Schedule. Sessions will be scheduled and conducted at a mutually agreeable time. Additional services, software modules and modifications not described in the SOW or Agreement will be considered a change to this Project and will require a Change Request Form as previously referenced in the definition of the Change Control Process. Tyler will provide a written agenda and notice of any prerequisites to the City project manager(s) ten (10) business days or as otherwise mutually agreed upon time frame prior to any scheduled on-site or remote sessions, as applicable.
Tyler will provide guidance for configuration and processing options available within the Tyler software. If multiple options are presented by Tyler, the City is responsible for making decisions based on the options available.
Implementation of new software may require changes to existing processes, both business and technical, requiring the City to make process changes.
The City is responsible for defining, documenting, and implementing their policies that result from any business process changes.
Organizational Change Management
Unless otherwise contracted by Tyler, City is responsible for managing Organizational Change. Impacted City resources will need consistent coaching and reassurance from their leadership team to embrace and accept the changes being imposed by the move to new software. An important part of change is ensuring that impacted City resources understand the value of the change, and why they are being asked to change.
Item #5.4.
City of Calistoga
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 38
Resources and Scheduling
City resources will participate in scheduled activities as assigned in the Project Schedule. The City team will complete prerequisites prior to applicable scheduled activities. Failure to do so may affect the schedule.
Tyler and the City will provide resources to support the efforts to complete the Project as scheduled and within the constraints of the Project budget.
Abbreviated timelines and overlapped Phases require sufficient resources to complete all required work as scheduled.
Changes to the Project Schedule, availability of resources or changes in Scope will be requested through a Change Request. Impacts to the triple constraints (scope, budget, and schedule) will be assessed and documented as part of the change control process. The City will ensure assigned resources will follow the change control process and possess the required business knowledge to complete their assigned tasks successfully. Should there be a change in resources, the replacement resource should have a comparable level of availability, change control process buy-in, and knowledge.
The City makes timely Project related decisions to achieve scheduled due dates on tasks and prepare for subsequent training sessions. Failure to do so may affect the schedule, as each analysis and implementation session is dependent on the decisions made in prior sessions. The City will respond to information requests in a comprehensive and timely manner, in accordance with the Project Schedule.
The City will provide adequate meeting space or facilities, including appropriate system connectivity, to the project teams including Tyler team members.
For on-site visits, Tyler will identify a travel schedule that balances the needs of the project and the employee.
Data
Data will be converted as provided and Tyler will not create data that does not exist. The City is responsible for the quality of legacy data and for cleaning or scrubbing erroneous legacy data.
Tyler will work closely with the City representatives to identify business rules before writing the conversion. The City must confirm that all known data mapping from source to target have been identified and documented before Tyler writes the conversion. All in-scope source data is in data extract(s).
Each legacy system data file submitted for conversion includes all associated records in a single approved file layout.
The City will provide the legacy system data extract in the same format for each iteration unless changes are mutually agreed upon in advance. If not, negative impacts to the schedule, budget and resource availability may occur and/or data in the new system may be incorrect. The City Project Team is responsible for reviewing the converted data and reporting issues during each iteration, with assistance from Tyler.
The City is responsible for providing or entering test data (e.g., data for training, testing interfaces, etc.)
Item #5.4.
City of Calistoga
Tyler Technologies, Inc. Page | 39
Facilities
The City will provide dedicated space for Tyler staff to work with City resources for both on-site and remote sessions. If Phases overlap, City will provide multiple training facilities to allow for independent sessions scheduling without conflict.
The City will provide staff with a location to practice what they have learned without distraction.

3. Funds Flow
When Corpay receives an invoice from you through Partner’s Platform not later than 6:00 p.m. (ET) on Business Day 1, the funds required to pay such invoice will be debited from the Customer Transaction Account on the following Business Day (“Business Day 2”) and credited to a trust account held at and by Silicon Valley Bank for the benefit of Corpay’s customers (the “Trust Transaction Account”). Upon confirmation that such funds have been successfully credited to the Trust Transaction Account on Business Day 2, such funds will be promptly debited from the Trust Transaction Account and disbursed to the applicable supplier on Business Day 2 depending on the applicable payment method as follows: (i) information necessary for electronic print check payments will be sent to our check printer; and (ii) the payment card number for a card payment will be sent to the supplier in a secure email. As used in this TOU, “Business Day” shall mean any day on which U.S. banks are open for business.

When Corpay receives an invoice from you through Partner’s Platform after 6:00 p.m. (ET) on Business Day 1, the funds required to pay such invoice will be debited from the Customer Transaction Account on Business Day 3 and credited to the Trust Transaction Account. Upon confirmation that such funds have been successfully credited to the Trust Transaction Account on Business Day 3, such funds will be promptly debited from the Trust Transaction Account and disbursed to the applicable supplier on Business Day 3 depending on the applicable payment method as follows: (i) information necessary for electronic print check payments will be sent to our check printer; and (ii) the payment card number for a card payment will be sent to the supplier in a secure email. If you become subject to protective proceedings under the United States Bankruptcy Code or are otherwise under financial distress, in Corpay’s reasonable judgment, then Corpay reserves the right, for so long as your bankruptcy proceedings or other financial Item #5.4.
Exhibit G
10 distress continues, to take up to three (3) additional Business Days after Business Day 3 to confirm that funds have been successfully credited to the Trust Transaction Account before Corpay shall be obligated to disburse funds in payment of your invoices.

City of Calistoga
STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Erin Stroud, Recreation Manager
Meeting: City Council - Nov 12 2024
Subject: Request by the Calistoga Joint Unified School District to Modify the Fees Charged for Calistoga High Swim Teams Use of the Pool
AGENDA TITLE:
Consider a Request from the Calistoga Joint Unified School District to Modify the Fees Charged for the Use of the Pool by the Calistoga High swim team.
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider Adopting the Resolution
BACKGROUND:
The Calistoga Community Pool is traditionally open to the public beginning the first weekend of April through the end of September. However, under the Calistoga Parks and Recreation Department Schedule and Reimbursement Agreement ("reimbursement agreement") for use of the Calistoga Community Pool Facilities, the Calistoga High School uses the pool outside of regular public use for high school swim team practice. The school district reimburses the city for utility costs and staff time up until the time the pool is open to the public, as per the terms of the reimbursement agreement.
Once the pool is open to the public, the school only reimburses the city for the staff time during their allocated time slot. In 2024 the total amount charged to the school was $9,681.92. This amount consisted of staff fees totaling $3,112.63, utility fees totaling $6,862.29, and a $293 credit for lap swim operated by the city.
ANALYSIS:
The Calistoga School District ('the District') has requested an alternate billing structure for gas and electric costs associated with their use of the Calistoga Community Pool. The current arrangement requires the district to pay for the total gas and electric usage during the period when the pool is closed to the public. The district is asking the city to assess the cost difference between a closed month and the months when the district utilizes the pool before its public opening. The reimbursement would be based on the calculated difference plus the fees associated with lifeguard staff time.
To assess the potential impact of the requested billing structure, staff used the bill from December 2023 to January 2024 to determine the gas and electric costs for the pool when it is closed to the public. Based on the billing days in the cycle, staff established a daily rate of $53.88. Staff used the February 2024 to March 2024 bill to establish the gas and electric costs for the pool when it is used solely by the district. Based on the billing days in the cycle, staff established a daily rate of $128.52.
Item #5.5.
The difference between these two rates is $74.64. If this structure would have been in place in 2024, it would have resulted in a $3,204.93 savings to the district.
Should the council provide direction to move forward with this formula, staff could use it to determine a daily rate, which would change yearly based on actual gas and electric costs. This approach would enable staff to consider fluctuations in utility billing rates when calculating the daily rate.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The estimated revenue loss to the city could be between $3,200 and $3,750 for 2025.
CEQA STATUS:
None

WHEREAS, The Calistoga Community Pool is traditionally open to the public beginning the first weekend of April through the end of September with the exception of usage by the Calistoga High School Swim Team beginning in February under the Calistoga Parks and Recreation Department Schedule and Reimbursement Agreement; and
WHEREAS, The Calistoga School District ('the District') has requested an alternate billing structure for gas and electric costs associated with their use of the Calistoga Community Pool for High School Swim Team; and WHEREAS, The current arrangement requires the district to pay for the total gas and electric usage during the period when the pool is closed to the public; and WHEREAS, The district is asking the city to base the reimbursement on the calculated difference between a closed month and the months when the district utilizes the pool before its public opening plus the fees associated with lifeguard staff time; and WHEREAS, Based on the billing cycles staff established a formula to determine a daily rate and could use it to determine fees moving forward, which would change yearly based on actual gas and electric costs; and
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Calistoga as follows: that the Calistoga City Council hereby authorizes the modification of fees charged to the district for use of the Calistoga community pool for swim team.

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Jed Matcham, Fire Chief
Meeting: City Council - Nov 12 2024
Subject: Agreement for Fire First Responder Services
AGENDA TITLE:
Consider adopting a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement with Napa County for the City of Calistoga to provide fire first responder services in a portion of unincorporated Napa County
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider adopting the Resolution
BACKGROUND:
For more than 20 years Napa County has contracted with the City of Calistoga to provide first responder fire suppression, emergency medical services, and other types of emergency response to an area of approximately 50 square miles outside the city limits. This contract provides Napa County residents outside of the city with emergency first responder services in a timely and efficient manner.
Napa County terminated the most recent agreement and extended a month-to-month agreement while a new agreement was under negotiation. The county wished to pay less money and more closely align the various agreements they have with muliple service providers.
The contract is a fee for service agreement intended to achieve cost recovery for the city. The cost recovery calculations were established in the early 2000's, based on the budget and number of calls at that time with an annual escalator. The amount was also intended to cover costs related to having personnel available 24/7, keep personnel trained, purchase and maintain fire vehicles, and other similar expenses necessary to provide quality services to those in the unincorproated area. The current reimbursement rate is $1,334.88 per response into the County contract area.
The California Office of Emergency Services (OES) also contracts with Calistoga to provide emergency response throughout the State. The cost recovery rates for OES responses are recalculated annually based on labor and adminstrative (overhead) costs. They do not account for "stand-by" costs or other similar items as was originally conceived by the city and the county in the current agreement. Those OES rates are currently $622.70 per hour, plus an administrative rate of
0.26581, for a total of $788.22 per hour.
The county has identified the reimbursement rates as disproportionately inequitable, yet these fees are intended to be cost recovery for similar services. This has resulted in the county looking to achieve more equity by utilizing the same fees as we use for our OES agreement.
Item #5.6.
The attached agreement includes the same rates as used for OES and would be retroactive to November 1, 2024.
While providing services outside of the Calistoga's city limits is optional, it results in higher service levels to those living or working in the unincorported county within Calistoga's response area and offsets a portion of the City's annual fire expenses.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Annual reimbursment from the county varies by the number of calls the city is dispatched to outside of the city limits each fiscal year. The new rate is 41% less than the current rate. The new agreement would provide a guaranteed cost recovery revenue stream of $177,349.50 (FY 2024-25) by compensating the city for a minimum of 225 incidents per year. This is approximatley $135,000 less than the amount received in the last fiscal year.

City of Calistoga
STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Mitch Celaya, Assistant City Manager
Meeting: City Council - Nov 12 2024
Subject: Renew the Napa Valley Tourism Improvement District (NVTID) to include the City of Calistoga
AGENDA TITLE:
Consider Granting Consent to the County of Napa to Renew the Napa Valley Tourism Improvement District (NVTID) and Include the City of Calistoga in the Renewed NVTID RECOMMENDATION:
Consider Adopting the Resolution
BACKGROUND:
The NVTID is a benefit assessment district proposed to continue a revenue source to help fund destination sales and marketing promotions for Napa Valley lodging businesses. This approach has been used successfully in other destination areas throughout the state to improve tourism and drive additional room nights to assessed lodging businesses. The renewed NVTID includes all lodging businesses, existing and in the future, available for public occupancy located within the boundaries of the cities of American Canyon, Calistoga, Napa, St. Helena, and the Town of Yountville and the unincorporated area of Napa County.
Because the renewed NVTID will include the City of Calistoga, consent must be granted by the City Council of Calistoga in order for the City of Calistoga to be included in the creation, operation and future renewals of the NVTID.
Lodging business owners decided to pursue renewal of the NVTID in order to continue a revenue source devoted to marketing Napa Valley as a tourist, meeting and event destination. If renewed, the NVTID would generate approximately $11,000,000 on an annual basis for promotion of travel and tourism specific to Napa Valley.
In Calistoga, the 2% Tourism Improvement District (TID) assessment imposed on guest lodging is collected by the city and results in 74% of the collected assessment remitted to NVTID, 25% to the local TID, and 1% to the City of Calistoga for Administration costs. In FY2023-24, the 2% TID assessment equated to approximately $1,980,427.00.
ANALYSIS:
TOURISM IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS
Tourism Improvement Districts (TIDs) utilize the efficiencies of private sector operation in the market-based promotion of tourism. These special assessment districts allow assessed business owners to organize their efforts to increase tourism. Business owners within the TID fund the TID, and those funds are used to provide services that are desired by and benefit the assessed businesses within the TID.
Item #7.1.
TID benefits:
Funds cannot be diverted for other government programs; They are customized to fit the needs of each destination; They allow for a wide range of services; including destination marketing, tourism promotion, and sales lead generation;
They are designed, created and governed by those who will pay the assessment; and They provide a stable funding source for tourism promotion.
In California, TIDs are primarily formed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (94 Law). This law allows for the creation of special benefit assessment districts to raise funds within a specific geographic area. The key difference between TIDs and other special benefit assessment districts is that funds raised are returned to the private non-profit corporation governing the TID.
MANAGEMENT DISTRICT PLAN
The Management District Plan includes the proposed boundary of the NVTID, a service plan and budget and a proposed means of governance. The NVTID will include all lodging businesses, existing and in the future, available for public occupancy within the boundaries of the cities of American Canyon, Calistoga, Napa, St.
Helena, and the Town of Yountville and the unincorporated area of Napa County.
The annual assessment rate is two percent (2%) of gross short-term (30 days or less) sleeping room rental revenue. In years three (3), six (6) and nine (9) of the NVTID’s term, the assessment rate may be recommended to be increased by the Visit Napa Valley (VNV) Board of Directors and then brought to the Napa Valley Tourism Corporation (NVTC) Board for final approval. The maximum increase in years three (3), six (6) and nine (9) shall be one half of one percent (0.5%).
The total assessment rate may not exceed three percent (3%) of gross short-term (30 days or less) sleeping room rental revenue. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on stays of more than thirty (30) consecutive days. Stays by government employees on government business shall not be subject to assessment. “Government employee” shall mean foreign or domestic government employees subject to exemption from transient occupancy tax pursuant to each municipality’s municipal/county code.………………………………………………
The renewed NVTID will have a ten (10) year term, beginning June 26, 2025, or as soon as possible thereafter, and ending ten (10) years from its start date. Once per year beginning on the anniversary of NVTID renewal there is a thirty (30) day period in which business owners paying fifty percent (50%) or more of the assessment may protest and begin proceedings to terminate the NVTID.
Each jurisdiction will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a basis that mirrors the collection of transient occupancy tax from each lodging business located in the NVTID boundaries. Each jurisdiction shall forward the assessments to the County of Napa (“County”) to be forwarded to Napa Valley Tourism Corporation, which will have the responsibility of managing NVTID programs as provided in the Management District Plan. Each jurisdiction tax collector will retain a fee of up to one percent (1%) of the amount of the assessment collected prior to remitting funds to the County, within their respective jurisdictions, to cover their costs of collection and administration
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None immediately. The City of Calistoga shall be paid a fee equal to 1% of the amount of assessment collected to cover its costs of administration. Because the NVTID programs are intended to increase visitation to the City of Calistoga, there may be an increase in transient occupancy tax and sales tax collections.

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Greg Desmond, Planning and Building Director
Meeting: City Council - Nov 12 2024
Subject: Request of the Napa Valley Community Foundation for a loan to assist with the purchase/conversion of 4 market rate rental units to regulated affordable units
AGENDA TITLE:
Request for a 10-year loan of $400k from the City of Calistoga’s Affordable Housing Fund to assist with the purchase and conversion of 4 market rate rental units to regulated affordable units located at 1405 Cedar Street
RECOMMENDATION:
Consider Discussing the Item and Providing Staff Direction BACKGROUND:
In 2021, an existing 4-unit apartment complex locate at 1405 Cedar Street was donated to the Napa Valley Community Foundation (NVCF). NVCF is collaborating with Burbank Housing, a nonprofit affordable housing developer, to purchase the property and convert the 4 existing market rate units to regulated affordable housing units.
The parcel is zoned R1, is 9,600 square feet in size and is developed with a 4-plex residence configured as (4) 2-bedroom, 1-bath units that are 859 sf in size.
Burbank Housing proposes to regulate 3 of the units at the 80% affordability level and one of the units at the 120% affordability level.
At their October 21, 2024 meeting, the City of Calistoga's Housing Advisory Committee recommended that the City Council grant the request for the loan by utilizing funding available in the Affordable Housing Fund which
ANALYSIS:
The purchase price of the subject parcel is $1,080,000 (which is the currently appraised value).
Funding for the purchase of the subject parcel is as follows:
$400,000 Loan from the City of Calistoga's Affordable Housing Fund $130,000 Contribution from Burbank Housing
$550,000 Loan from Exchange Bank
Item #7.2.
The $400,000 loan would be to Burbank Housing at a maximum interest rate of 2% and would have a term of 10 years + 1 month. The city loan would be subordinated to the loan from the Exchange Bank.
This request is consistent with the following components of the City of Calistoga's Housing Element.
Goal H-2 which states that the City should: 'Promote housing that meets the needs of extremely low, low, and moderate-income households, particularly for those who work in Calistoga'.
Objective H2-1 which states that the City should 'Encourage the development of affordable housing'.
Policy A2.1-1 which states that the City should 'Provide incentives for the development of affordable housing'.
Policy A2.1-3 which states that the City should 'Continuously identify properties for purchase that would be well-suited to the construction of affordable and/or special-needs housing. The purchase would use revenue from sources such as TOT, in-lieu fees, development agreements, inclusionary housing and/or grant funding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The City of Calistoga's Affordable Housing Fund (#78) has $4 million available at this time.
CEQA STATUS:
Section 502. General Rule. [State CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3)] CEQA does not apply to a project where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the environment.

RE: Request for $400K loan to preserve 4 units of workforce housing in Calistoga Dear Council Members,
My name is Terence Mulligan, and I’m the President & CEO of Napa Valley Community Foundation (NVCF), which has distributed more than $106 million to charitable organizations in the Valley in the last 30 years.
I’m looking forward to speaking with you at your November 12 Council meeting about the attached proposal, with which some of you are already familiar.
The short version of my longer story goes like this: we own a 4-unit apartment building at 1405 Cedar Street in Calistoga that was donated to the Foundation in 2021. Typically, we sell donated property as soon as possible to the highest bidder, so that we can turn fixed assets into cash to fuel our annual grant distributions.
However, when we discovered that our Cedar Street tenants were paying a very affordable monthly rent (about $1,500 per month for each 2-bedroom, 1-bath unit), and that every tenant had been there for 10 years or more, we felt compelled to approach this property differently, for fear of worsening the housing crisis in Calistoga instead of doing something mission-aligned that might protect the tenants, or future tenants, from displacement.
The different approach I’m talking about is described in the attached proposal, and the only way it’s going to pencil is with your help.
Thank you very much in advance for your consideration. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and answering any questions you may have on November 12.
Sincerely yours,
Terence P. Mulligan

STAFF REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Greg Desmond, Planning and Building Director
Meeting: City Council - Nov 12 2024
Subject: Presentation and Discussion of Development Impact Fee Study AGENDA TITLE:
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. will present a draft of the Development Impact Fee Study for Fire, Police, Culture/Recreation, City and Administration Impact Fees for City Council discussion.
RECOMMENDATION:
Provide direction regarding the outcome of the draft study including any direction related to the amount of increase in the proposed fees.
BACKGROUND:
Deveopment impact fees which cover the cost of the increased need for city facilities and services based on new development have not been raised since 2014. A nexus study has been completed to descibe the projects, the percentage of the projects triggered by new development, and the resulting recommended impact fees to new development.
Following city council direction, staff will return to the city council to update our municipal code (Title 3, Revenue, Finance and Expenditure) and take any additional necessary steps to update Fire, Police, Culture/Recreation, City Administration and Transportation development impact fees.
Tonight's discussion focuses on all fees except transportation.
ANALYSIS:
In 2023, the City retained the services of Economic and Planning Systems, Inc (EPS) and W-Trans to complete a nexus study as required by State law to update the development impact fees.
The draft development impact fee report which includes information on the Fire, Police, Culture/Recreation, City and Administration Impact Fees is attached for review. EPS will be presenting their analysis and findings. The increase in proposed fees ranges from 92%-305%. See Table 2 on Page 3 of the attached report for more information.
Input from the City Council will be incorporated into the Final Report which will also include the analysis of the Transportation Fees. These items are scheduled to be brought to the City Council on December 3, 2024 along with a resolution to adopt the new Impact Fees based on the study.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Should fees be increased, the city will have additional funding available for certain projects, especially capital improvement projects. The amounts are based on the amount of development activity that occurs and are unpredictable.

1. INTRODUCTION AND RESULTS
This Development Impact Fee Study provides the City of Calistoga (City) with the necessary technical documentation to update the City’s Development Impact Fee Program (Fee Program).
The Citywide Development Impact Fee Program generates funding for capital facilities and equipment investments associated with police, fire, cultural/recreation, City administration, and transportation functions. Impact fees are one-time charges on new development collected and used by the City to cover the cost of capital equipment and facilities that are required to serve new growth.
This updated fee program will replace the existing Fee Program. This technical study has been prepared by Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) in association with W-Trans, Inc., with direction and input from City staff in the City Administration, Planning, Fire, Police, and Public Works Departments.1
The Fee Program described in this Report is based on the identification of the required investment in new and life cycle replacement of capital facilities by City staff based on existing operations and growth expectations. The Fee Program focuses on a time frame of 20 years and, as such, uses forecasts of growth and development and expected capital facilities needs over this period. In some cases, specific capital facility project investments have been identified and in other cases categories of capital facility improvements were identified. Identified individual projects may be altered or replaced over time (with other qualifying projects) as the City administers the Fee Program and funds capital equipment and facilities needed to serve new development.
This Report provides the nexus findings under the Mitigation Fee Act, a description of AB 602 compliance, underlying analysis, and the associated calculations of the maximum supportable citywide fees that could be charged. The City may elect to adopt fees below the maximum supportable level based on economic or policy considerations. Such fee reductions could either occur through a formal reduction in the maximum fee estimates (by reducing facilities standards or planned investments) or by maintaining the same capital facilities program and backfilling the reduced fee revenues with alternative sources of capital funding.
This Report and the technical information it contains should be maintained and reviewed periodically by the City as necessary to ensure Impact Fee accuracy and to enable the adequate programming of funding sources. To the extent that improvement requirements, costs, population, employment, visitors or development potential changes over time, the Fee Program will need to be updated.

Maximum Fee Schedule
Table 1 shows the City’s maximum capital facility and equipment impact fee schedule for the facility types evaluated based on the nexus findings and analysis contained in this Report. If adopted, these updated development impact fees would apply to new residential and nonresidential development and help fund a proportional share portion of capital facility and equipment costs. The maximum fee estimates include a 2 percent fee program administration fee consistent with the current fee program and Mitigation Fee Act program administrative costs applied in many other California jurisdictions.2 Fees apply to new development inside the City limits.
The fees shown in Table 1 represent the maximum updated fees that the City may levy, as calculated in this analysis. As noted above, the City can adopt fees at levels below these maximum, nexus-supported levels based on policy considerations. As directed by AB 602, per unit residential fees are translated into and will be applied on a per square foot basis.3 Table 1 Summary of Maximum Capital Facility and Equipment Development Impact Fees
2 The 2 percent administration cost is designed to cover expenses for preparation of the development impact fee and subsequent updates as well as the required reporting, auditing, collection and other annual administrative costs involved in overseeing the program. Development impact fee programs throughout California have applied similar administrative charges. 3 The calculation of per square foot fees on new residential development divides the per unit cost by the estimated average size of a residential home in the City of 2,500 square feet. This average home was derived from data from City staff on the sizes of recent residential development in the City.

Table 2 compares the Maximum Capital Facility Fees calculated in this nexus study to the existing fee schedule in the City of Calistoga. As shown, the adoption of the maximum allowable fees would result in a doubling or more of fees in most land use categories.
Table 2 Fee Level Comparison
If adopted, the new fees would replace the City’s existing fee schedule charged to new development (exclusive of existing development agreements), for public safety improvements, quality of life (cultural/recreational/city administration facilities), and transportation improvements.
Key Assumptions and Sources
The results of this analysis are based on a variety of conditions and assumptions provided by City staff regarding the need for and cost of new and replacement capital facilities, vehicles, and capital equipment and development capacity/growth projections. Assumptions are covered in detail in later chapters, though some of the key factors are summarized below:
Capital Facilities and Equipment. The Fire and Police Department provided a comprehensive list of existing capital equipment, vehicles, and communications technology and the associated replacement schedule necessary over the next 20 years. The public safety items included in the fee program all have a replacement life of five years or more and are considered capital items. In addition, the City provided an estimate of the size of the new City Hall and Council Chambers required to serve the City as a whole. Cost Estimates. Public safety capital item cost estimates were provided by the Fire and Police Departments based on their extensive knowledge of capital equipment unit costs.

improvements were provided by City Staff or sourced from the City’s 10-Year capital improvement plan. Transportation costs are based on W-Trans planning level estimates based on other comparable projects. All figures are provided in constant 2024 dollars. Capital Demands and Cost Allocation. With the exception of the cultural/recreation category, capital costs are allocated between new and existing development as well as between different land uses based on service demand and associated capital use and needs.
Specifically, a service population approach is used for capital facilities demand/need that incorporates the relative demand from the full-service population, including residents, employees, and visitors. City expectations concerning persons per household and employment densities for nonresidential development and available data on visitors associated with overnight lodging are used to translate between development types and capital facility needs. Distinctly for cultural/recreation facilities, a modified service population was used, reducing the relative impact of employees and visitors on the demand for City facilities, and costs are allocated between land uses based on relative demands from different types of new development.4
Growth and Development. The development impact fee calculations are based on estimates of new and existing development, population, employment, and visitors over the next 20 years. Key sources for the baseline estimates are the 2024 Department of Finance (DOF) data, the 2022 American Community Survey, and City data. The new development forecast is based on an evaluation of land capacity and potential development by Planning Department staff.
Legal Context
This Nexus Study is designed to provide the necessary technical analysis to support the updated Calistoga Development Impact Fee program. The Mitigation Fee Act allows the City to adopt, by resolution, the citywide Fee Program consistent with the supporting technical analysis and findings provided in this Nexus Report, and consistent with the basic parameters of the fee that have been adopted by an enabling ordinance and codified in the Municipal Code.
Impact fee revenues are used to cover the cost of constructing capital and infrastructure improvements required to serve new development and growth in the area in which they apply.
Impact fees must be based on a nexus, or connection, between new development and the need for specific capital facilities and improvements and the fee levels must be proportional to the impacts of the new development. Impact fee revenue cannot be used to cover the operation and maintenance costs of these or any other facilities and infrastructure. In addition, impact fee revenue cannot be collected or used to cover the cost of preexisting infrastructure needs or deficiencies.
In establishing, increasing, or imposing a fee as a condition for the approval of a development project, Government Code 66001(a) and (b) require a local agency to:
4 As explained in subsequent chapters, the relative demands for cultural/recreational facilities between residents, employees, and visitors tend to be different than for other facilities (such as public safety).
As a result, different service population ratios are used.

1. Identify the purpose of the fee;
2. Identify how the fee is to be used;
3. Determine how a reasonable relationship exists between the fee use and type of development project for which the fee is being used;
4. Determine how the need for the public facility relates to the type of development project for which the fee is imposed; and
5. Show the relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility.
In September 2021, the State of California adopted Assembly Bill (AB) 602, which includes several new requirements related to the development and implementation of impact fee programs. Two key provisions related to the calculations documented in this Nexus Report are summarized below.
Capital Improvement Plan: AB 602 requires that jurisdictions adopt a capital improvement plan as part of the nexus study process. This adoption can occur at the same time as the fee ordinance adoption. Accordingly, this Nexus Report relies on a Calistoga DIF Long-Term Capital Improvement Plan (Calistoga DIF CIP) to be approved by the City Council in conjunction with the DIF Program.5 The Calistoga DIF CIP presented in this Nexus Report is derived from the capital improvements identified as part of this Nexus Report and is attached as Appendix Table A-1.
Per Square Foot Residential Fees: AB 602 notes that for fees adopted after July 1, 2022, the nexus study must “either calculate a fee levied or imposed on a housing development proportionately to the square footage of the proposed units or make specific findings explaining why square footage is not an appropriate metric to calculate the fees.” AB 602 also notes that “This bill would require that a local agency that calculates fees proportionately to the square footage of the proposed units be deemed to have used a valid method to establish a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development.” This analysis uses an estimate of the average unit size of residential units in the City based on research and data provided by City staff on the size of units at recent residential developments in the City. This average home size was then applied to the per unit fees, to determine the maximum per square foot fee for residential development.
Report Organization
Following this chapter, Chapter 2 discusses the development capacity and growth estimates and forecasts used in this analysis. Chapter 3 outlines the nexus findings for each of the capital improvement categories and the associated technical analysis that derives the maximum allowable updated impact fees. Chapter 4 presents the resulting maximum fee by land use.
Appendix A provides a list of all capital improvements included in the Fee Program. Appendix 5 The Calistoga DIF CIP is different from and does not replace the City's 10-year CIP. These separate CIP documents serve a shorter-term frame and generally rely on more specific project parameters than the DIF CIP. That said, the DIF CIP may provide funding to support some projects included in the 10-year CIP.

2. DEVELOPMENT FORECASTS AND SERVICE POPULATION
This chapter presents estimates of future development in the City of Calistoga, the associated demographic, job, and visitor growth forecasts, and the current City counts. This data is used too derive the appropriate allocation of capital costs between existing and new development and between different land uses. This includes the appropriate allocations between new and existing development as well as between different land uses. Estimates of new development were provided by City staff after careful consideration of development capacity and the potential for development over the 20-year study timeframe. Forecasts of new development were converted into population, visitor, and job estimates based on established sources. Different allocation factors (percentages) were derived based on different service population metrics; these service population metrics establish relative levels of capital facilities demand from different demand drivers (i.e., residents, employees, and visitors) for different capital types (e.g., police vs. parks and recreation).
Residential Development and Population Growth
Table 3 shows estimates of existing and new population associated with the forecasts of new residential development over the next 20 years. As shown, population in the City is expected to increase from about 5,100 to nearly 6,200 over the next 20 years, representing a 20 percent increase. This increase in residents is expected to be driven by the development of 425 residential units, as shown in Table 4. The household size assumption is based on the City’s existing average and are shown in Table 5.
Nonresidential Development and Employment and
Visitor Growth
As shown in Table 3, total current jobs in the City are estimated at about 1,800. An increase of about 830 jobs to about 2,630 total jobs is forecast over the next 20 years, an increase of 58 percent over the existing baseline. Most of the job growth is expected to be generated by new tourist accommodations and other commercial development, primarily through the forecasted addition of 270 guest rooms and about 235,000 square feet of new commercial and restaurant space (see Tables 4 and 5). These nonresidential development forecasts were converted into job growth based on the employment density assumptions (i.e., square feet per employee) and are shown in Table 5.

Actual employment growth will depend on a wide range of factors, including broader economic cycles, pace of development activity, and the regulatory framework in the City.
Given Calistoga’s orientation towards tourism, this analysis considers overnight visitors and visitor-generating uses an important component of the demand for capital improvements. Based on the data from the pre-pandemic 2018 Napa Valley Tourist Profile Survey, EPS estimated a current annual average of 1,159 daily overnight visitors in Calistoga. The development of 270 guest rooms would support the growth of about 450 overnight visitors over the next 20 years.
The growth estimate is based on the forecast for new tourist accommodation development and average visitors per room assumption shown in Tables 3 and 4.
Service Population and Allocation Factors
Service population is a measure commonly used to incorporate job, and sometimes visitor, growth as well as resident growth into allocations of capital facilities demand and associated costs. An employee or visitor tends to place a lower level of demand on a City’s capital facilities, vehicles, and equipment than a resident. As a result, the capital facilities demand weighting is typically discounted for employees and visitors. The appropriate weighting can also vary for different capital improvement groups (e.g., police vs. parks and recreation).
Based on capital improvements included in this analysis, typical approaches to relative demand in other nexus studies, as well as recent research by EPS into relative demand by visitors for parks and recreation facilities, two different service population estimates were developed.
Service population estimates for public safety (police and fire) and City administration capital improvements are derived based on a weighting of 1.0 for residents and 0.5 for employees and visitors.6 A modified service population was developed for cultural/recreation land and facilities based on recent EPS research. This allocation reflects a lower level of demand from employees and visitors for parks and recreation facilities and includes a weighting of 1.0 for residents, 0.2 for employees, and 0.1 for visitors.
Table 3 shows the current service population is about 6,620 with a forecast increase of about 1,690 associated with new residents, jobs, and visitors. This represents a 26 percent increase over the existing service population which is used as a measure of the demand increase from new development for capital improvements. For the modified service population, the current service population is about 5,620 with a forecast increase of about 22 percent associated with new residents, jobs, and visitors. These service population proportional increases as well as the relative service population growth by different land uses ensure an appropriate and proportional allocation of capital costs between existing and new development and between different new land uses in the subsequent chapters.
6 Service population is a commonly used measure that estimates service needs based on relative demand generated by residents, employees, and visitors.

3. NEXUS FINDINGS AND CAPITAL COST ESTIMATES
This chapter describes the necessary "nexus" between new development in Calistoga and the proposed capital equipment and facilities investments, as required under Government Code Section 66000 (also referred to as AB1600 or the Mitigation Fee Act). In addition, the methodology and technical calculations for determining the proportionate cost allocation to the new development of the total public safety (police and fire) and quality of life (cultural/recreational and City administration) capital costs and capital replacement costs (as appropriate) over the next 20 years are provided. This chapter is divided into five sections corresponding to the following capital facilities/ development impact fee categories:
1) Police
2) Fire
3) Cultural/Recreation
4) City Administration
5) Transportation
For each development impact fee category, the necessary "nexus" between new development in Calistoga and the proposed capital facilities is described. Nexus findings address:
1) the purpose of the fee and a related description of the facility for which fee revenue will be used, 2) the specific use of fee revenue, 3) the relationship between the facility and the type of development, 4) the relationship between the need for the facility and the type of development, and 5) the relationship between the amount of the fee and the proportionality of cost specifically attributable to new development. In addition, the methodology and technical calculations for determining future needs and the associated “fair share” allocation of costs to new development are provided. The subsections below describe the nexus findings for the updated development impact fee program. Chapter 4 builds from these findings and analyses to estimate maximum supportable development impact fees.
Police
The Police development impact fees will cover new development’s share of the costs associated with the replacement of capital equipment and vehicles. Capital items will depreciate more quickly as new development occurs and the City’s service population grows.

Item #7.3.
Calistoga Development Impact Fee Study
Administrative Draft Report 10/31/24
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. 13
Relationship
New development in Calistoga will increase the use of police equipment and vehicles utilized for citywide service provision. Fee revenue will be used to help fund capital replacement of equipment and vehicles.
Need
Each new development project will add to the incremental use of existing police equipment and vehicles. The City’s existing set of equipment and vehicles will require more frequent replacement due to the greater use levels associated with new development (and associated service population) in the City.
Proportionality
The replacement costs of police equipment and vehicles are allocated proportionately between new and existing development based on their relative share of demand (as measured by their relative share of service population over the next 20-year period). Replacement costs associated with new development are similarly allocated between land uses proportional to their relative generation of demand, as measured by service population.
Capital Cost Estimates
The required investment in police-related equipment is shown in Table 6 with more detail provided in Table B-1. As shown below, the Police Department anticipates a total cost of approximately $3.5 million over 20 years. About 20 percent of these costs are allocated to new development, per the service population calculation in Table 3. These cost estimates are described in more detail below.
Safety Gear and Equipment. The Police Department provides specialized gear and equipment to its police staff, including protective gear and firearms. The replacement cost for these items is estimated at about $16,700 annually with the total cost of approximately $333,000 over 20 years.
Communications. The Police Department utilizes specialized communication equipment and technology for emergency response, including radios and computers. The replacement cost for these items is estimated at about $66,000 annually or $1.3 million over 20 years. Vehicles and Equipment. The cost of police vehicles and associated equipment replacement is based on existing vehicle inventory. The City currently has nearly 30 units of vehicles, motorcycles, and associated equipment. Based on the replacement life and market cost of new vehicles and associated equipment, an annual replacement cost of about $91,000 annually is required to maintain the existing fleet. This cost estimate does not reflect items funded through other sources, such as grants.

Use of Fee
Fee revenue will be used to replace capital equipment, such as acquisition of new fire engines and other vehicles after a period of use.
Relationship
New development in Calistoga will increase the use of fire equipment and vehicles utilized for citywide service provision. Fee revenue will be used to help fund capital replacement of equipment and vehicles.
Need
Each new development project will add to the incremental use of existing fire equipment and vehicles. The existing set of equipment and vehicles will require more frequent replacement due to the greater use levels associated with new development (and associated service population) in the city.
Proportionality
The replacement costs of equipment are allocated proportionately between new and existing development based on their relative share of demand (as measured by their relative share of service population over the next 20-year period). Replacement costs associated with new development are similarly allocated between land uses proportional to their relative generation of demand, as measured by service population.
Capital Cost Estimates
The required investment in fire-related equipment, vehicles, and facilities improvements is shown in Table 7 with more detail provided in Table B-2. As shown, the Fire Department anticipates a total of about $9.6 million over 20 years. Capital items will depreciate more quickly as new development occurs and the city’s service population grows. The subsections below describe the nexus findings and the technical cost allocation analysis for the proposed Fire fee. Fire Station Upgrade. The Fire Department plans to expand and upgrade its existing fire station facility. These improvements are envisioned to accommodate additional firefighters and add a bathroom facility and are estimated at $7 million over the next 20 years. Vehicle Fleet Expansion. The Fire Department plans to acquire a new ladder truck to serve new development due to its taller building heights. The average annual cost of the ladder truck is $122,000 totaling $2.4 million over the course of the next 20 years. Because the ladder truck is required specifically because of new development, the full cost of the ladder truck is allocated to new development.
Vehicles and Equipment. The Fire Department uses vehicles to meet its citywide service goals, and as new development takes place, it will contribute to replacement costs based on the additional use of these items. Based on the market cost of new vehicles estimated by the Fire Department, these items will result in a replacement cost of about $311,000 a year or about $6.2 million over the next 20 years. The Fire Department equips all firefighters with specialized gear and equipment, including boots and helmets. In addition, the Department uses specialized equipment like pumps, blowers, and exhaust fans for emergency incidents.

Cultural/Recreational
The Cultural/Recreation impact fee is designed to cover the costs associated with new parks and recreation facilities required to serve future growth in Calistoga. It covers the appropriate share of the costs of improving parks and associated facilities. New capital facilities will be required as the City’s population increases. The subsections below describe the nexus findings and the technical cost allocation analysis for the proposed Cultural/Recreational fee.
Nexus Findings
Purpose
The fee will fund the provision of an adequate level of parks and recreation facilities to maintain an existing service standard.
Use of Fee
Fee revenue will contribute funding towards parks and recreational facilities.
Relationship
New development in Calistoga will increase the City’s demand for park and recreation facilities.
Fee revenue will be used to increase the availability of parks and recreation facilities in order to maintain the existing service standard of parks and recreation provision.
Need
Each new development project will add to the incremental need for park and recreation facilities.
As a result, improvements considered in this study are estimated to be necessary to maintain the City's existing service provision goals without adversely affecting the existing level of service.
Proportionality
The cost of the cultural/recreation improvements is allocated proportionately between new and existing development based on their relative share of demand (as measured by their relative share of service population) after a 20-year period. The cost share associated with new development is similarly allocated between land uses proportional to their relative generation of demand, as measured by service population.
Capital Cost Estimates
The inventory of the cultural/recreation improvements and the associated costs are shown in Table 8. City staff provided this capital improvement list based on the City’s 10-Year Capital Improvement Plan. Required public improvements as part of the Fairgrounds Redevelopment Project will be much higher than those shown. The City has identified their planned investment level over the next 10 years. The City has also indicated that a similar set and cost of investments is planned for the next 10-year period, so the 10-year costs are doubled to provide the estimated capital improvement program cost over the next 20 years.

City Administration
The City Administration Facilities development impact fee will cover new development’s share of the costs associated with a new City Hall and Council Chambers, as well as improvements to existing buildings and upgrades to the information technology (IT) systems. This facility will serve citywide needs, with new growth comprising a portion of the overall demand. The subsections below describe the nexus findings and the technical cost allocation analysis for the proposed City Administration capital facilities fee category.
Nexus Findings
Purpose
The fee will help maintain adequate levels of City administration facilities service in Calistoga, including an adequate City Hall and Community Center space as well as associated land needs.
Use of Fee
Fee revenue will be used to help fund land acquisition and construction of a new City Hall and Community Center.
Relationship
New development in Calistoga will increase the City’s demand for City Hall and Council Chambers and associated land needs. Fee revenue will be used to fund a portion of the expansion of these facilities.
Need
Each new development project will add to the incremental need for City administration facilities Proportionality
The cost of new City administration capital facilities is allocated proportionately between new and existing development based on their relative share of demand (as measured by their relative share of service population) over a 20-year period. The cost share associated with new development is similarly allocated between land uses proportional to their relative generation of demand, as measured by service population.
Cost Allocation Analysis
The expected demand for additional City administration facilities and land is shown in Table 9, along with associated cost estimates and cost allocations to new development. As shown, of the total estimated cost of $22.2 million, a total of about $4.5 million in costs can be allocated to new development in the City.

4. DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE CALCULATION BY LAND USE
This chapter provides estimates of maximum development impact fees by land use for fire, police, and quality of life fees. Transportation fee estimates and supporting analysis are provided in the Appendices. Total citywide capital equipment and facilities costs (for the facility types evaluated) in the City of Calistoga are estimated at $62.2 million for the next 20 years, as shown in Table 10. This includes a $9.6 million investment in replacing fire capital items, a $3.5 million investment in replacing police capital items, a $27 million investment in cultural and recreation facilities, and a $22.2 million investment in City administration facilities.
New development’s share of the cost, based on the preceding analysis and nexus principles, is $15.5 million, or 25 percent of the total cost. About $46.7 million in costs are associated with demand from existing development and, therefore, cannot be funded through development impact fees. The City will need to find alternative funding mechanisms to fund this portion of the costs.
Table 10 Summary of 20-Yr Capital Facilities Costs Allocation Between New and Existing Development
Maximum development impact fees are calculated by allocating the costs attributable to new growth (excluding approved development) among residential and commercial uses, as shown in Table 11. This allocation is based on future service population growth for public safety and City administration facilities and modified service population for cultural/recreation. These costs are then divided by the respective levels of new projected development, as shown in Table 12.
Based on this methodology, 68.3 percent of these costs are allocated to new residential development while 31.7 percent is allocated to nonresidential development, primarily tourist accommodation and commercial development.

Table 13 shows the resulting maximum development impact fees by land use including $24,880 per residential unit. For nonresidential uses, the fee is $10,007 per room for tourist accommodation uses, $15,356 per winery, $9.20 per square foot for retail uses, $13.18 for office uses, and $6.09 for industrial uses. While the development projections for the City of Calistoga do not distinguish between different types of commercial use, beyond wineries, the costs allocated to commercial uses were apportioned by land use based on employment density. A more detailed calculation can be found in Appendix Table C-1.
State law allows jurisdictions to include the costs of administering the Fee Program in the fee amount. Administrative requirements include collecting and allocating impact fee revenue, record keeping and reporting of fund activity, and periodic updates to the Fee Program. This analysis assumes that administrative costs of 2.0 percent of the total Fee Program will be applied to reflect the City’s overhead and administrative burdens. As shown in Table 13, this would increase the maximum development impact fee to $25,378 per housing unit. For nonresidential uses, the fee is $10,207 per room for tourist accommodation uses, $15,663 per winery, $9.38 per square foot for retail uses, $13.45 for office uses, and $6.21 for industrial uses. Actual Fee Program administration costs will vary from year to year depending on development activity and other program requirements.
Table 13 Maximum Fee by Land Use
This analysis calculates the initial residential impact fees on a per unit basis. However, AB 602 requests that cities adopt development impact fees on a per square foot basis rather than a per unit basis, unless the City provides an explanation as to why that would not be appropriate.
Table 14 converts the per unit residential development impact fee into a per square foot fee using the expected weighted average of future residential development.

CITY OF CALISTOGA
FY 23-24 Development Impact Fees Annual Report
For Compliance with Assembly Bill 1600
November 12, 2024
Prepared by
Connie Cardenas, Administrative Services
City of Calistoga Administrative Services Department
Item #7.3.
2 BACKGROUND:
State law (California Government Code Section 66006) requires each local agency that imposes AB 1600 development impact fees to prepare an annual report providing specific information about those fees. The AB 1600 legal requirements stipulate that fees imposed on new development have the proper nexus to any project on which they are imposed. In addition, AB 1600 imposes certain accounting and reporting requirements with respect to the fees collected. The fees for accounting purposes must be segregated from the General Fund of the City and from other funds or accounts containing fees collected for other improvements. Interest on each development fee fund or account must be credited to the fund or account and used only for the purpose for which fees were collected.
California Code Section 66006(b) requires the local agency for each separate account or fund, within 180 days after the last day of the fiscal year to make available to the public the following information for the fiscal year:
(1) A brief description of the type of fee in the account or fund. (2) The amount of the fee.
(3) The beginning and ending balance of the account or fund. (4) The amount of the fees collected and the interest earned. (5) An identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the amount of the expenditures on each improvement, including the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with fees.
(6) An identification of an approximate date by which the construction of the public improvement will commence if the local agency determines that sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on an incomplete public improvement, as identified in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 66001, and the public improvement remains incomplete.

ANALYSIS:
Development impact fees are charged by a local governmental agency to an applicant in connection with approval of a development project. The purpose of these fees is to defray all or a portion of the cost of public facilities related to the development project.
Fees are collected at the time a building permit is issued for the purpose of mitigating the impacts caused by new development on certain public facilities. Facility fees are used to finance the acquisition, construction and improvement of public facilities needed as a result of this new development. A separate fund has been established to account for the impact of new development on each of the following types of public facilities: administrative facilities, fire, police, transportation, affordable housing, cultural/recreation, traffic signal, northwest drainage, water and wastewater.
As of June 30, 2024, none of the funds have been held beyond the five-year period as described in AB 1600 and their continued collection is necessary to adder the impacts associated with new development.

13 D. Parking
Fee Findings Requirement
1. Identify the purpose to which the fee is to be put
-AB 1600 parking development fees allows applicants for development projects to pay a designated fee (or “in-lieu) of providing off-street parking spaces required by the zoning code.
The in-lieu parking fee is used exclusively for acquiring, developing, and maintaining public offstreet parking facilities. The purpose of an in-lieu program is not to impose an additional fee or burden on development but to provide an alternate for projects having difficulty meeting minimum requirements on-site due to space constraints, financial feasibility, or both. As such, in-lieu fees can be seen an economic development tool, facilitating otherwise unfeasible projects.
2. Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged.
-The in-lieu Parking fee is imposed on new development to mitigate the impact the new development will have on available parking within the City of Calistoga. The impacts are measured by the number of spaces the new development is required to build and the number of parking spaces built. If the developer does not build the required spaces, they will pay an in-lieu fee that helps fund public parking spaces to mitigate the impact on parking.
3. Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing in incomplete improvements.
4. Designate the approximate dates on which the funding is expected to be deposited into the appropriate account or fund.
