4. Except for “new members” as defined above in Subsection 2, the employee contribution for retirement will be as follows:

• 100% of the amount of the employee share of the current fiscal year retirement rate.

Said member’s contribution shall be vested in the name of the employee as permitted under the rules and regulations of the 1937 Act Stanislaus County Retirement System.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt an Introduction of an ordinance amending Title 15, Buildings and Construction, of the Ceres Municipal Code to:

2. Introduction to add Section 15.01.070 to define "New Construction."

3. Introduction to amend Section 15.02.120 regarding the issuance of Certificates of Occupancy and the requirement for full public improvements prior to occupancy.

I. BACKGROUND:

Title 15 of the Ceres Municipal Code establishes the City's requirements for buildings and construction within the City of Ceres. Periodic updates are necessary to ensure the municipal code remains consistent with current standards, practices, and state requirements.

The proposed ordinance amendments serve to clarify and strengthen the City’s authority in requiring the installation or repair of public improvements as a condition of occupancy for new construction and significant alterations. These amendments introduce c lear definitions for "Public Improvements" and "New Construction" and ensure consistency in the application of building permit and occupancy requirements.

ITEM 29

Specifically:
• Section 15.01.060 defines “Public Improvements” to include street trees, utility services, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and driveway approaches. • Section 15.01.070 establishes the definition of "New Construction" to cover new buildings, property development, substantial alterations, and certain change-of-use projects.
• Section 15.02.120 is amended to clarify that no final inspection or Certificate of Occupancy will be issued for new construction until all required public improvements have been completed and accepted in accordance with City standards and applicable plans.

The ordinance also provides the City Engineer discretion in certain valuation matters to address unique circumstances in project scopes.

Notice of this proposed ordinance amendment was published in accordance with applicable law, providing adequate public notice and opportunity for comment.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

The proposed ordinance amendments are necessary to:
• Ensure Public Safety and Accessibility: By requiring public improvements to be completed prior to occupancy, the City safeguards the health, safety, and welfare of the community.
• Maintain Consistency with City Standards and Planning Documents: The ordinance aligns building occupancy procedures with the City’s adopted general plan, specific plans, and engineering standards.
• Clarify Applicability: Establishing clear definitions for "Public Improvements" and "New Construction" ensures consistent application of municipal code requirements to applicable projects, reducing ambiguity for applicants and staff. • Support Infrastructure Maintenance and Growth Management: Requiring the installation and repair of public improvements as part of new development and significant alterations ensures that public infrastructure is adequately maintained and expanded in conjunction with private development.

For these reasons, staff recommends Council approval of the ordinance amendments.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS:

This ordinance does not have a direct fiscal impact on City funds.

IV. EXISTING POLICY / RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:

This project is in conformance with the First Goal of the Strategic Plan:
1) Infrastructure: Ensure that the community has adequate, well -maintained infrastructure that fosters a quality community and supports a strong economy.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2025 -XXX, Approving the Update to the Public Facilities Fee Nexus Study for the City’s Impact Fee Program and Adopting the Public Facilities Impact Fee Schedules RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff recommends the City Council approve the update to the Public Facilities Fee Nexus Study for City’s Impact Fee Program and Adopting the Public Facilities Impact Fee Schedules
I. BACKGROUND:

The current Public Facilities Fee (PFF) Nexus Study was originally adopted in July 2010 and amended in 2013. In 2013, the PFF was updated to reflect changing costs with regard to sewer and water projects in the City at the time of adoption.

Ceres is a rapidly growing community, and like many other local jurisdictions, it is experiencing significant changes as both its residential population and non -resident workforce continue to expand. With this growth comes a range of challenges and opportunities, particularly in ensuring that the necessary public infrastructure and services keep pace with the increased demand. As more people move into the area and more businesses set up operations, the need for expanded transportation networks, utilities, public facilities, and schools becomes even more critical. As Ceres continues to develop, it must also address issues such as maintaining quality of life, ensuring equitable access to services, and planning for long -term sustainability.

Effective planning and investment in infrastructure will be essential to supporting this growth while preserving the community's character and providing a high standard of living for both current and future residents.

ITEM 30
As the resident population and non-resident employment in the City increase, there exists a correlating rise in the need for public infrastructure and services to support the increased demand on the City. California’s Assembly Bill 1600 (AB 1600) was adopted in 1987 and codified as California Government Code Section 66000 et. seq., allows the City to impose Development Impact Fees on new development within the City. Development Impact Fees (Impact Fees) are one -time charges on new developments that are coll ected and used by the City to cover the cost of capital facilities, vehicles, and equipment that are required to serve new growth.

The City’s existing Impact Fee program consists of the following fees:
• Police
• Fire Protection
• Municipal Facilities
• Parks and Recreation
• Information Technology
• Community Facilities
• Transportation
• Drainage
• Water
• Wastewater
In the City, the Impact Fees were last updated in 2013, via Resolution No. 2013-73.

The aim of the 2025 update is to revise the City’s Development Impact Fee Program (Impact Fee Program or Program), evaluate the existing fees, and consider the introduction of additional impact fees for new developments. These fees will help mitigate the citywide impacts on public infrastructure, services, and community amenities, while ensuring compliance w ith the legal standards outlined in AB 1600 and AB 602.This fee update consolidates the existing Municipal Facilities, Information Technology and Community Facilities fee into a General Government Facilities Fee and adds an Administration Fee. With the exi sting fees, the administrative cost was included within each fee, as part of this update, the administrative costs of the Impact Fee Program will now be a stand- alone fee.

NEXUS REQUIREMENT SUMMARY
AB 1600 was enacted by the State of California in 1987 creating the Mitigation Fee Act - Section 66000 et seq. of the Government Code. The Mitigation Fee Act requires that all public agencies satisfy the following requirements when establishing, increasing, or imposing a fee as a condition of approval of a development project:

1. Identify the purpose of the fee.

2. Identify the use to which the fee is to be put. If the use is financing public facilities, the facilities shall be identified.

ITEM 30

3. Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fees use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.

4. Determine how there is a reasonable 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 public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.

The purpose of this report is to demonstrate that all fee components comply with the Mitigation Fee Act. The assumptions, methodologies, facility standards, costs, and cost allocation factors that were used to establish the nexus between the fees and the development on which the fees will be charged are summarized in subsequent sections of this report.

ASSEMBLY BILL 602
AB 602, enacted by the State of California in 2021, amended Sections 65940.1 and 66019 of, and added Section 66016.5 to the Government Code. AB 602 requires that if a local agency conducts and adopts an impact fee nexus study after January 1, 2022, the local agency shall follow all of the following standards and practices:

1. Before the adoption of an associated development fee, an impact fee nexus study shall be adopted.

2. When applicable, the nexus study shall identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service, and include an explanation of why the new level of service is appropriate.

3. A nexus study shall include information that supports the local agency’s actions, as required by subdivision (a) of Section 66001 of the Government Code.

4. If a nexus study supports the increase of an existing fee, the local agency shall review the assumptions of the nexus study supporting the original fee and evaluate the amount of fees collected under the original fee.

5. A nexus study adopted after July 1, 2022, shall calculate a fee imposed on a housing development project proportionately to the square footage of proposed units of the development. A local agency that imposes a fee proportionately to the square footage of the proposed units of the development shall be deemed to have used a valid method to establish a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development. A nexus study is not required to comply with the requirements to calculate a fee imposed on a housing development project proportionally to the square footage of the proposed units if the local agency ITEM 30
makes the following findings:
a. An explanation as to why square footage is not an appropriate metric to calculate fees imposed on housing development project.
b. An explanation that an alternative basis of calculating the fee bears a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development.
c. That other policies in the fee structure support smaller developments or otherwise ensure that smaller developments are not charged disproportionate fees.

6. Large jurisdictions shall adopt a capital improvement plan as a part of the nexus study.

7. All studies shall be adopted at a public hearing with at least 30 days’ notice, and the local agency shall notify any member of the public that requests notice of intent to begin an impact fee nexus study of the date of the hearing.

8. Studies shall be updated at least every eight years, beginning on January 1, 2022.

9. The local agency may use the impact fee nexus study template developed by the Department of Housing and Community Development pursuant to Section 50466.5 of the Health and Safety Code.

10. This report demonstrates that all fee components comply with AB 602. The methodologies performed to calculate the updated fees ensure that the costs for facilities are proportionately spread between existing and future users.

II. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:

NEXUS STUDY SUMMARY
Purpose
As development occurs in the City, new backbone infrastructure and capital facilities are required to mitigate the increased demand created by new residents and workers. Impact fees fund this required backbone infrastructure and capital facilities as well as the related administrative costs through the City’s fee program. The fee program contains separate fee categories for each type of infrastructure and capital facilities. Incorporated in this Nexus Study are the following fees:
• Police
• Fire Protection
• General Government
Facilities
• Parks and Recreation
ITEM 30
• Transportation
• Water
• Wastewater
• Administration
This includes updates to the existing City impact fees for: Police, Fire Protection, Parks and Recreation, Transportation, Water, and Wastewater. The existing Municipal Facilities, Community Facilities, and Information Technology Fee have now been streamlined into the General Government Facilities Fee while the existing Drainage fee is being discontinued. The City is proposing one new fee, the Administration Fee. With the existing fees, the administrative cost was included within each fee, as part of this update, the administrative costs of the Impact Fee Program will now be a stand -alone fee. This report is designed to satisfy AB 1600 Nexus requirements, AB 602 guidance, and provide the necessary technical analysis to support the adoption of the updated fees. The fees will be effective 60 days after the City’s final action establishing and authorizing the collection of the fees.

Fee Program Costs
Table ES-1 summarizes the costs attributable to each fee program based on the facilities identified in this Nexus Study, assuming the growth assumptions made within this report are accurate. This summary does not account for any future inflationary escalation of fees, current fund balances, or outstanding credits and reimbursements.

Total $ 461,002,691.45
Notes:
1 The Storm Drainage fee has been removed from the fee program as future development will occur in specific plans that will be required to fund their storm drainage improvements independently.

Updated Fees
Pursuant to AB 602, residential development fees are suggested to be assessed on a per square foot basis, with the exception of Water Fees which are collected on a per meter basis. To yield consistency across fees assessed on non-residential land uses, non-residential development fees will be assessed per 1,000 building square foot with the exception of Water Fees which are collected on a per meter basis. Fees on Accessory Dwelling Units, specialized projects, and rebuild projects are detailed further in Section 8: Implementation and Administration.

City of Ceres

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND INTRODUCTORY

SECTIONS

INTRODUCTION
The City of Ceres (City) is located in the central San Joaquin Valley, 80 miles south of the State capital Sacramento, and 95 miles east of San Francisco, in the heart of Stanislaus County. The Tuolumne River forms part of the City’s northern boundary. Incorporated in 1918, the City is one of Central Valley’s most diverse agricultural areas , with its name originating from the Roman Goddess of agriculture “Ceres”. The City operates under a council-manager form of government and serves as a dynamic urban center in the Central Valley.

Ceres is a rapidly growing community, and like many other local jurisdictions, it is experiencing significant changes as both its residential population and non -resident workforce continue to expand. With this growth comes a range of challenges and opportunities, particularly in ensuring that the necessary public infrastructure and services keep pace with the increased demand. As more people move into the area and more businesses set up operations, the need for expanded transportation networks, utilities, public facilities, and schools becomes even more critical. As Ceres continues to develop, it must also address issues such as maintaining quality of life, ensuring equitable access to services, and planning for long -term sustainability. Effective planning and investment in infrastructure will be essential to supporting this growth while preserving the community's character and providing a high standard of living for both current and future residents.

As the resident population and non -resident employment in the City increase, there exists a correlating rise in the need for public infrastructure and services to support the increased demand on the City. California’s Assembly Bill 1600 (AB 1600) adopted in 1987 and codified as California Government Code Section 66000 et. seq., allows the City to impose Development Impact Fees on new development within the City. Development Impact Fees (Impact Fees) are one-time charges on new development that are collected and used by the City to cover the cost of capital facilities, vehicles, and equipment that are required to serve new growth.

The City’s existing Impact Fee program consists of the following fees:
• Police
• Fire Protection
• Municipal Facilities
• Parks and Recreation
• Information Technology
• Community Facilities
• Transportation
• Drainage
• Water
• Wastewater
In the City, the Impact Fees were last updated in 2013, via Resolution No. 2013 -73. The aim of the 2025 update is to revise the City’s Development Impact Fee Program (Impact Fee Program or ITEM 30
Impact Fee Nexus Study 7 May 2025
City of Ceres
Program), evaluate the existing fees, and consider the introduction of additional impact fees for new developments. These fees will help mitigate the citywide impacts on public infrastructure, services, and community amenities, while ensuring compliance with the legal standards outlined in AB 1600 and AB 602.This fee update consolidates the existing Municipal Facilities, Information Technology and Community Facilities fee into a General Government Facilities Fee and add s an Administration Fee. With the existing fees, the administrative cost was included within each fee, as part of this update, the administrative costs of the Impact Fee Program will now be a stand - alone fee.

NEXUS REQUIREMENT SUMMARY
AB 1600 was enacted by the State of California in 1987 creating the Mitigation Fee Act - Section 66000 et seq. of the Government Code. The Mitigation Fee Act requires that all public agencies satisfy the following requirements when establishing, increasing, or imposing a fee as a condition of approval of a development project:

1. Identify the purpose of the fee.

2. Identify the use to which the fee is to be put. If the use is financing public facilities, the facilities shall be identified.

3. Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fees use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.

4. Determine how there is a reasonable 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 public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.

The purpose of this report is to demonstrate that all fee components comply with the Mitigation Fee Act. The assumptions, methodologies, facility standards, costs, and cost allocation factors that were used to establish the nexus between the fees and the development on which the fees will be charged are summarized in subsequent sections of this report.

ASSEMBLY BILL 602
AB 602, enacted by the State of California in 2021, amended Sections 65940.1 and 66019 of, and added Section 66016.5 to the Government Code. AB 602 requires that if a local agency conducts and adopts an impact fee nexus study after January 1, 2022, the local agency shall follow all of the following standards and practices:

1. Before the adoption of an associated development fee, an impact fee nexus study shall be adopted.

2. When applicable, the nexus study shall identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service, and include an explanation of why the new level of service is appropriate.

3. A nexus study shall include information that supports the local agency’s actions, as required by subdivision (a) of Section 66001 of the Government Code.

4. If a nexus study supports the increase of an existing fee, the local agency shall review the assumptions of the nexus study supporting the original fee and evaluate the amount of fees collected under the original fee.

5. A nexus study adopted after July 1, 2022, shall calculate a fee imposed on a housing development project proportionately to the square footage of proposed units of the development. A local agency that imposes a fee proportionately to the square footage of the proposed units of the development shall be deemed to have used a valid method to establish a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development. A nexus study is not required to comply with the requirements to calculate a fee imposed on a housing development project proportionally to the square footage of the proposed units if the local agency makes the following findings:
• An explanation as to why square footage is not appropriate metric to calculate fees imposed on housing development project.
• An explanation that an alternative basis of calculating the fee bears a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development. • That other policies in the fee structure support smaller developments, or otherwise ensure that smaller developments are not charged disproportionate fees.

6. Large jurisdictions shall adopt a capital improvement plan as a part of the nexus study.

7. All studies shall be adopted at a public hearing with at least 30 days’ notice, and the local agency shall notify any member of the public that requests notice of intent to begin an impact fee nexus study of the date of the hearing.

8. Studies shall be updated at least every eight years, beginning on January 1, 2022.

9. The local agency may use the impact fee nexus study template developed by the Department of Housing and Community Development pursuant to Section 50466.5 of the Health and Safety Code.

This report demonstrate s that all fee components comply with AB 602 . The methodologies performed to calculate the updated fees ensure that the costs for facilities are proportionately spread between existing and future users.

NEXUS STUDY SUMMARY
Purpose
As development occurs in the City, new backbone infrastructure and capital facilities are required to mitigate the increased demand created by new residents and workers. Impact fees fund this required backbone infrastructure and capital facilities as well as the related administrative costs through the City’s fee program. The fee program contains separate fee categories for each type of infrastructure and capital facilities. Incorporated in this Nexus Study are the following fees:
• Police
• Fire Protection
• General Government Facilities
• Parks and Recreation
• Transportation
• Water
• Wastewater
• Administration
This includes updates to the existing City impact fees for : Police, Fire Protection, Parks and Recreation, Transportation, Water, and Wastewater . The existing Municipal Facilities, Community Facilities, and Information Technology Fee have now been streamlined into the General Government Facilities Fee while the existing Drainage fee is being discontinued. The City if proposing one new fee, the Administration Fee. With the existing fees, the administrative cost was included within each fee, as part of this update, the administrative costs of the Impact Fee Program will now be a stand -alone fee. This report is designed to satisfy AB 1600 Nexus requirements, AB 602 guidance, and provide the necessary technical analysis to support the adoption of the updated fees . The fee s will be effective 60 days after the City’s final action establishing and authorizing the collection of the fees.

Fee Program Costs
Table ES-1 summarizes the costs attributable to each fee program based on the facilities identified in this Nexus Study, assuming the growth assumptions made within this report are accurate. This summary does not account for any future inflationary escalation of fees, current fund balances, or outstanding credits and reimbursements.

City of Ceres
AB 602 states that “if a nexus study supports the increase of an existing fee, the local agency shall review the assumptions of the nexus study supporting the original fee and evaluate the amount of fees collected under the original fee. ” The current Public Facilities Fee Nexus study was not available for review. However, the fees for Police, Fire , General Government Facilities and Transportation are based on the existing level of service. This level of service remains unchanged from the previous nexus stud y, although the costs for facility replacement have risen over time .

The proposed Parks and Recreation fees are based on the City’s General Plan, which establishes the level of service in terms of park acres per 1,000 residents, and remain consistent with the previous study. However, construction costs per acre of parkland have significantly increased in recent years. The proposed Water and Wastewater System Fees, on the other hand, are the only fees reflecting changes from the previous nexus study, due to the City’s completion of updated master plans. These plans adjusted water demand and wastewater generation rates based on new hydraulic modeling.

Section 1 METHODOLOGY

METHODOLOGY
Imposed fees require various findings to ensure that a reasonable relationship exists between the fee amount and the cost of the facility or portion of the facility attributable to new development.

Several methodologies are available to determine fee amounts. The most common methodologies are defined by the “Impact Fee Nexus Study Template” prepared for the California Department of Housing and Community Development by Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley.

Choosing the appropriate methodology depends on the type of facility for which the fee is calculated and the availability of documentation to support the fee calculation. Following is a discussion of the methodologies available to calculate the separate fee components in this report.

Existing Inventory Method
The existing inventory method , also known as the “incremental method” uses a facility standard based on the ratio of existing facilities to the demand on the facilities by the existing service population on a cost per unit or cost per square foot basis. Under this approach, new development funds the expansion of facilities at the same standard currently serving existing development. By definition, the existing inventory method ensures that no facility deficiencies are spread to future development. This method is often used when a long-range plan for new facilities is not available.

Planned Facilities Method
The planned facilities method calculates the proposed fee based on the ratio of planned facilities to the increase in demand associated with new development. This method is appropriate when planned facilities have been define by a long range master plan or expenditure plan which includes specific facilities and cost estimates. As the Planned Facilities Method relies on a long range master plan that may change as the plan is implemented, fees based on this metho dology need to be regularly updated to remain consistent with the project lists and current plans.

System Plan Method
The system plan method utilizes an integrated approach to allocate the cost of existing facilities and the costs of planned facilities to the total development in the study area. This method is appropriate when calculating a systemwide fee in which new development will fund an integrated system of facilities at the future standard attributable to new development. By spreading the costs of an integrated system incorporating the existing facilities and planned facilities costs to the total development in the study area, this ensures that new development only pays their proportional share of the total system costs and is not responsible for rectifying any existing deficiencies.

PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION
The City, with assistance from consultants, oversees the implementation and administration of the Impact Fee Program, consistent with the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act. For all City Impact fees, a Program Administration Fee is added to fund the costs of City’s management and ongoing fee program administration, collection, and reporting. This includes costs associated with City staff and consultant time, studies, and administration to support the program. Industry standard ranges from three to si x percent (3-6%) for the administrative component of a development fee program.

For ease of administration, this report creates a separate Program Administration Fee that will be collected in a separate fund. Additional information regarding the Program Administration Fee is presented in 0. The administrative functions of the Program Administration Fee include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Annual fee adjustments
• Annual fee reporting
• Additional fee reporting every five years
• Application and tracking of fee credits and reimbursements • Posting of nexus studies and fee schedules on the City’s website • Periodic nexus study updates
• Staff and consultant time related to fee preparation, collection, tracking, and administration

FUND BALANCE
The fund balances used throughout this analysis were based on the City’s reported Impact fee fund balances through June 30, 2024. Table 1-1 displays the balances of the existing funds used within this study.

Section 2 POPULATION AND LAND USE

ASSUMPTIONS

LAND USE TYPES
To ensure a reasonable relationship between each fee and the type of development paying the fee, different land use types must be distinguished. The land use categories used in this analysis are defined below.
• Single Family: Detached single-family dwelling units. Includes residential agriculture, very low density, low density, medium density and age-restricted units. • Multi-Family: Attached residential projects including Downtown Residential and high density land use designations.
• Commercial: All commercial, retail, educational, and mixed-use development. • Office: All general, professional, and medical office development. • Industrial: All research and development, manufacturing and warehouse development.

Some developments may include more than one land use type, such as an industrial warehouse with living quarters (a live -work designation) or a mixed-use development with both Retail and Residential land uses. In these cases, the fees will be calculated separately for each land use type.

GROWTH FORECASTS
Growth projections are used as indicators of demand. The City’s existing population, as well as the City’s Community Development Department’s population projections, are critical assumptions used throughout the fee sections that follow in this report. The following resources were used as part of this analysis:
• Estimates of population projections and new development through buildout were based on the City’s land use plan from the City adopted specific plans for Whitmore Ranch, Mitchell Road Corridor, Eastgate, Copper Trails, West Landing and Ceres Downtown as well as infill development identified by the City Community Development Department. • Estimated persons per household data were based on the 2023 US Census American Community Survey.
• Existing population estimates are from the 2024 California Department of Finance. • Worker projections are based on projected non-residential square footage and the employees per square feet assumptions form the USGBC LEED BD+C: New Construction | v4 – Default Occupancy Counts.

Table 2-1 outlines projected new unit and growth by land use and development area for the City.

Table 2-1: Projected New Unit and Acreage Growth (2040 Projections)

RESIDENT AND EMPLOYMENT DENSITY
Using persons per household (PPH) data for residential units and employment density data for non-residential buildings is a common metric used to establish a reasonable relationship between the demand created by the development project and the fees charged . The residential density factors were derived using information from the US Census American Community Survey (2023) and the non-residential employment density factors were derived from the U.S. Green Building Council Default Occupancy Counts. The following average density factors are used for each land use type.

Residential Density
High Density Residential 3.72 residents per dwelling unit Very High Density Residential 2.51 residents per dwelling unit Non-Residential Density
Office 4.0 employees per 1,000 square feet
Commercial 1.82 employees per 1,000 square feet

AVERAGE UNIT SIZES
To meet AB 602 requirement five (5) that suggests that a fee imposed on a housing development project shall be calculated proportionately to the square footage of proposed units of the development, this Nexus Study calculate s a fee per unit and then uses the average unit size for Single-Family Residential and Multi-Family Residential based on the estimated average size of planned new development within each land use category to convert to a fee per square foot. The average unit size is based on the livable square footage of the residential units.

Basing the average unit size on livable square footage for all residential units is not only consistent with industry standard for fee calculations, but it also provides a strong nexus between the impact of the unit and the fee amount. A good example of industry standard are school fees in California.

In California, school fees are based on assessable space, which means a quantity equal to the area (expressed in square feet) within the perimeter of a residential structure, not including the carport, communal walkway, garage, overhang, patio, enclosed patio, detached accessory structure or similar structure.

Multi-Family Residential projects that include communal spaces (i.e., clubhouse, maintenance facility, gym, etc.) will not be assessed impact fees on such areas as the impact is considered to be captured within the residential fees. Areas that contain employees and are accessible by the public will be charged impact fees according to use (i.e., leasing office would pay office fees).

Based on the estimated average size of planned new development within each land use category for the City, the following average unit sizes are utilized in this study.

Single-Family Residential…………………...1,720 Square Feet Per Unit Multi-Family Residential...…….…………… 1,160 Square Feet Per Unit The City will monitor the average size of new housing units on an annual basis and if the average size of units is significantly less than anticipated, the fees will be updated as part of the annual update to reflect this change in order to ensure the fee program does not fall short.

As detailed in the next sections, the fee per square foot is calculated by dividing the fee per unit by the average size shown above for each residential unit type. Fees for Multi-Family Residential result in a higher fee per square foot than Single Family Residential due to the higher density of people per square foot of space.

The methodology for calculating the fees per unit results in a higher fee per square foot for Multi- Family Residential. The need for the facilities included in this Nexus Study for most of the fees are based on the number of people that these facilities must serve. Therefore, utilizing the average number of residents that resides in any density type based on census tract data is the most justified ITEM 30

methodology for the fee. This relates the persons per household for Single and Multi -Family residential to the average size of the unit, which results in the fee per square foot. While Multi - Family residential has a lower persons per dwelling unit assumpti on, the proportion of persons per unit to the size of the unit is higher than Single Family. This results in a fee that is based on the demand of those residents, which is slightly higher per square foot for Multi-Family. Because the impact of each unit is based on the additional people generated by unit type, this methodology provides a reasonable relationship and rough proportionality between the amount of the fee charged and the burden posed by each residential unit. Moreover, because most Multi -Family units are smaller than Single Family units, the fee paid per dwelling unit will likely be lower for the vast majority of Multi-Family units than Single Family units.

Section 3 POLICE FACILITIES FEE

BACKGROUND
This section presents an analysis of the Police Facilities Fee. The Police Facilities Fees cover the costs associated with mitigating the impacts of new development on the City’s police facilities.

The Police Fee is calculated using the Existing Inventory Method. The existing inventory method uses a facility standard based on the ratio of existing facilities to the existing service population on a cost per capita basis. Under this approach, new development funds the expansion of facilities at the same standard currently serving existing development. By definition, the existing inventory method ensures that no facility deficiencies are spread to future development. This method is often used when a long -range plan for new facilities is not available. New deve lopment within the City will pay the Police Facilities Fees at building permit issuance to maintain the existing level of service provided to the City’s existing residents. An inventory of existing police facilities and equipment was provided by the City of Ceres using facility information and valuation based upon Property Insurance valuation.

SERVICE POPULATION
Demand for services and the associated facilities is based on the City’s future service population, which includes residents and workers. In calculating the service population for new growth, workers are weighted less than residents to reflect a lower service demand. Workers are weighted at approximately 37% that of a resident based the fact that workers can take advantage of the City’s Police Facilities approximately 45 hours a week relative to a resident’s time of 123 hours (168 hours per week less 45 wor k hours). The discount factor reflects the fact that employees typically generate less service demand than residents because they are present in the community for a limited portion of the day. The calculation of the City’s existing service population as it relates to Police Facilities is shown in Table 2-2.

EXISTING LEVEL OF SERVICE
AB602 states, “When applicable, the nexus study shall identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service and include an explanation of why the new level of service is appropriate.”
The Police Facilities Fee is calculated utilizing the Existing Inventory Method and as part of the calculation describes calculates the Existing Level of Service.

FEE METHODOLOGY
The Police Facilities Fee uses the Existing Inventory Method methodology for calculating the fee.

As stated in the “Impact Fee Nexus Study Template” prepared for the California Department of Housing and Community Development by Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley, with the Existing Inventory Method “New development will fund the expansion of facilities at the same standard as currently used to service existing development.” The fees are based on the future police facilities needed to maintain the existing level of service provided to the City’s current residents and workers.

Based on the City of Ceres Summary Appraisal Report prepared by Asset Works dated October 2023, the PEPIP-CA Property Schedule, and CSJVRMA APD Program Listing dated April 17, 2023, t he estimated total value of police facilities provided to the City’s existing service population is approximately $17.5 million.

Table 3-3 calculates the cost per resident for Police Facilities by dividing the total value of the existing Police Facilities by the City’s current service population.

Table 3-3: Police Facilities Cost per Capita

FEE SUMMARY
The Police Facilities Fee per unit is calculated by multiplying the cost per resident or worker by the average number of residents or worker per unit type (density). The Police Facilities fee per unit must then be converted to a fee per square foot for eac h residential unit type and a fee per 1,000 square feet for each non-residential land use type. The fee per square foot for residential is calculated by taking the cost per unit and dividing by the estimated average unit size for each land use. Table 3-4 calculates the Police Facilities Fee.

Nexus Requirement Summary
AB 1600 requires that public agencies satisfy five requirements when establishing, increasing, or imposing a fee as a condition of approval of a development project. The required findings are as follows.

Requirement 1: Identify the purpose of the fee.

The purpose of the Police Facilities Fee is to fund additional police facilities that are needed to serve new development in the City. Each new resident and worker generates the need for the City to expand their facilities in order to provide adequate response times, hire and house new personnel. In order to accommodate these needs, new facilities will be built, or existing facilities will be expanded as shown within Table 3-6 and Table A-1 in Appendix A.

Requirement 2: Identify the use of the fee.

The fees will be used to partially fund the police facilities summarized in Table 3-6. The City Police Department provided the cost to outfit a new officer with the City’s standard issue equipment and provide building space for each officer, which is approximately $3 05,000 per officer. This includes the provision a firearm, taser, ammunition, radio, uniform, vehicle and other miscellaneous equipment and space within the police station as detailed in Table 3-6. It is estimated that thirty-two (32) new officers will be required in order to maintain the current level of service.

Requirement 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.

The Police Facilities Fees will be used to fund the ex pansion of the City’s Police Department including the hiring and outfitting of additional officers as shown in Table 3-6. The Police Facilities Fees are calculated based on the current level of service of the existing police facilities that is provided to the existing service population. Workers are weighted at a lower weight than residents to reflect their lesser impact on the facilities. This weighting is calculated as resident equivalents and is used to calculate a cost per capita to maintain the existing level of service as shown in Table 3-1. The cost per capita is spread to each land use based on the persons per household and employment density assumptions as defined in Table 2-2, ensuring a reasonable relationship between the fees use and the type of development project as shown in Table 3-4.

Requirement 4: Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.

Each new development is anticipated to generate either new residents or workers. The addition of these new residents and workers directly creates the need for additional police facilities, which are necessary in order to maintain the existing level of service. The fees are based on the number of resident equivalents each new development is expected to generate, thus ensuring that the need for the facility is directly related to a particular development’s impact. New workers generate a smaller demand than a resident and thus one worker is considered, on average, as equivalent to

0.37 times that of a resident based on the accessibility of police facilities in relation to a resident.

The relationship between the need for the facility and the type of development project is shown in Table 3-4.

Requirement 5: Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.

The Police Facilities Fees will provide the funding for maintaining the existing level of service of the City’s police facilities. These City’s existing facilities and costs are summarized in Table 3-2. The cost per capita is derived by dividing the existing facilities based on the existing service population in the City as shown in Table 3-3. The cost per capita is spread to each land use based on the number of new residents or workers that the land use will generate as shown in Table 3-4.

By spreading the fee s based on the number of new residents or works that the land use will generate, each new development is only paying for their fair share of the required facilities since the need for the facilities directly correlates to the addition of new residents and worker equivalents.

Table 4-2 calculates the cost per resident for Fire Protection by dividing the total value of the existing Fire Protection by the City’s current service population.

Table 4-2: Fire Protection Cost per Capita

FEE SUMMARY
The Fire Protection Fee per unit is calculated by multiplying the cost per resident or worker by the average number of residents or worker per unit type (density). The Fire Protection Fee per unit must then be converted to a fee per square foot for each residential unit type and a fee per 1,000 square foot for each non -residential land use type. The fee per square foot for residential is calculated by taking the cost per unit and dividing by the estimated average unit size for each land use. Table 4-3 calculates the Fire Protection Fee.

Table 4-5: Proposed City of Ceres Fire Protection Facilities

NEXUS REQUIREMENT SUMMARY
AB 1600 requires that public agencies satisfy five requirements when establishing, increasing, or imposing a fee as a condition of approval of a development project. The required findings are as follows.

Requirement 1: Identify the purpose of the fee.

The purpose of the Fire Protection Fee is to fund additional fire facilities that are needed to serve new development in the City. Each new resident and worker generates the need for the City to expand their facilities in order to provide adequate response times, hire and house new personnel.

In order to accommodate these needs, new facilities will be built, or existing facilities will be expanded as shown within Table 4-5.

Requirement 2: Identify the use of the fee.

The fees will be used to fund the fire protection facilities summarized in Table 4-5. The City Fire Department identified the need for an additional fire station at the southern boundary of the City.

The cost to construct the additional fire station is detailed in Table 4-5.

Requirement 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.

The Fire Protection Fees will be used to fund the expansion of the City’s Fire Department including the construction of a new fire stations in the Copper Trails Specific Plan as detailed in Table 4-5.

The Fire Protection Fees are calculated based on the current level of service of the existing fire facilities that is provided to the existing service population. Workers are weighted at a lower weight than residents to reflect their lesser impact on the facilities. This weighting is calculated as resident equivalents and is used to calculate a cost per capita to maintain the existing level of service as shown in Table 4-2. The cost per capita is spread to each land use based on the persons per household and employment density assumptions as defined in Table 2-2, ensuring a reasonable relationship between the fees use and the type of development project as shown in Table 4-3.

Requirement 4: Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.

Each new development is anticipated to generate either new residents or workers. The addition of these new residents and workers directly creates the need for additional fire facilities, which are necessary in order to maintain the existing level of service. The fees are based on the number of resident equivalents each new development is expected to generate, thus ensuring that the need for the facility is directly related to a particular development’s impact. New workers generate a smaller demand than a resident and thus one worker is considered, on average, as equivalent to 0.37 times that of a resident based on the accessibility of fire facilities in relation to a resident. The relationship between the need for the facility and the type of development project is shown in Table 4-3.

Requirement 5: Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.

The Fire Protection Fees will provide the funding for maintaining the existing level of service of the City’s fire protection. These City’s existing facilities and costs are summarized in Table 4-1.

The cost per capita is derived by dividing the existing facilities based on the existing service population in the City as shown in Table 4-2. The cost per capita is spread to each land use based on the number of new residents or workers that the land use will generate as shown in Table 4-3.

By spreading the fee s based on the number of new residents or works that the land use will generate, each new development is only paying for their fair share of the required facilities since the need for the facilities directly correlates to the addition of new residents and worker equivalents.

Section 5 GENERAL GOVERNMENT FACILITIES FEE

BACKGROUND
This section presents an analysis of the General Government Facilities Fee . The General Government Facilities Fee covers the costs associated with mitigating the impacts of new development on the City’s general government facilities including administrative functions and the public works department . The General Government Facilities fee is a new proposed fee that will combine the existing Municipal Facilities Fee, Information Technology Fee and Community Facilities Fee. This fee will be collected to maintain and update the general government administration facilities and public facilities (such as recreation centers and the Ceres Public Library), that serve the City. The Ge neral Government Facilities Fee is calculated using the Existing Inventory Method. The Existing Inventory Method uses a facility standard based on the ratio of existing facilities to the existing service population on a cost per capita basis. Under this approach, new development funds the expansion of facilities at the same standard currently serving existing development. By definition, the Existing Inventory Method ensures that no facility deficiencies are spread to future development. This method is often used when a long-range plan for new facilities is not available. New development will pay the General Government Facilities Fees at building permit issuance to maintain the existing level of service provided to the City’s existing residents.

SERVICE POPULATION
Demand for services and the associated facilities is based on the City’s future service population, which includes residents and workers. In calculating the service population for new growth, workers are weighted less than residents to reflect a lower service demand. Workers are weighted at approximately 37% that of a resident based the fact that workers can take advantage of the City’s general government facilities approximately 45 hours a week relative to a resident’s time of 123 hours (168 hours per week less 45 work hours). The discount factor reflects the fact that employees typically generate less service demand than residents because they are present in the community for a limited portion of the day. The calculation of the City’s existing service population as it relates to general government facilities is shown in Table 2-2.

EXISTING LEVEL OF SERVICE
AB602 states, “When applicable, the nexus study shall identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service and include an explanation of why the new level of service is appropriate.”
The General Government Facilities Fee is calculated utilizing the Existing Inventory Method and as part of the calculation describes calculates the Existing Level of Service. This existing level of ITEM 30
Impact Fee Nexus Study 47 May 2025
City of Ceres
service is proposed to remain consistent as new development occurs and requires future development to maintain the established existing level of service. By definition, the existing inventory method ensures that no facility deficiencies are spread to future development.

FEE METHODOLOGY
The General Government Facilities Fee uses the Existing Inventory Method methodology for calculating the fee. As stated in the “Impact Fee Nexus Study Template” prepared for the California Department of Housing and Community Development by Terner Center fo r Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley, with the Existing Inventory Method “New development will fund the expansion of facilities at the same standard as currently used to service existing development.” The fees are based on the future general government facilities needed to maintain the existing level of service provided to the City’s current residents and workers.

Based on the City of Ceres Summary Appraisal report prepared by AssetWorks dated October 2023, the PEPIP-CA Property Schedule, and the CSJVRMA APD Program Listing dated April 17, 2023, the estimated total value of general government facilities provided to the City’s existing service population is approximately $ 25 million. Table 5-1 summarizes the existing general government facilities inventory that forms the basis of the existing level of service calculation.

Table 5-5: Proposed City of Ceres General Government Facilities

NEXUS REQUIREMENT SUMMARY
AB 1600 requires that public agencies satisfy five requirements when establishing, increasing, or imposing a fee as a condition of approval of a development project. The required findings are as follows.

Requirement 1: Identify the purpose of the fee.

The purpose of the General Government Facilities Fee is to fund additional administration, public facilities, and public works facilities that are needed to serve new development in the City. Each new resident and worker generates the need for the City to expand their facilities in order to hire and house new staff. In order to accommodate these needs, new facilities will be built, or existing facilities will be expanded as shown within Table 5-5.

Requirement 2: Identify the use of the fee.

The fees will be used to fund the general government facilities including administration , public facilities, and public works facilities summarized in Table 5-5. A majority of these projects were identified in the City of Ceres Corporation Yard Master Plan dated December 202 0 as facilities required to mitigate the impact of new development in the City.

Requirement 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.

The General Government Facilities Fees will be used to fund general government facilities projects consisting of new administration, public facilities, and public works facilities necessary to serve the increased residents and workers in the City as shown in Table 5-5. The General Government Facilities Fees are calculated based on the level of service of the existing general government facilities. Workers are weighted at a lower weight than residents to reflect their lesser impact on the facilities. This weighting is calculated as resident equivalents and is used to calculate a cost per capita to maintain the existing level of service as shown in Table 5-2. The cost per capita is spread to each land use based on the persons per household and employment density assumptions as defined in Table 2-2 ensuring a reasonable relationship between the fees use and the type of development project as shown in Table 5-3.

Requirement 4: Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.

Each new development is anticipated to generate either new residents or workers. The addition of these new residents and workers directly creates the need for additional general government facilities for administration, public facilities, and public works facilitates, which are necessary in order to maintain the existing level of service. The fee s are based on the number of resident equivalents each new development is expected to generate, thus ensuring that the need for the facility is directly related to a particular development’s impact. New workers generate a smaller demand than a resident and thus one worker is considered, on average, as equivalent to 0.37 times that of a resident based on the accessibility of general government facilities in relation to a resident.

The relationship between the need for the facility and the type of development project is shown in Table 5-3.

Requirement 5: Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.

The General Government Facilities Fees will provide the funding for maintaining the existing level of service of the City’s general government facilities for administration, public facilities, and public works facilities. These City’s existing facilities and costs are summarized in Table 5-1. The cost per capita is derived by dividing the existing facilities based on the existing service population in the City as shown in Table 5-2. The cost per capita is spread to each land use based on the number of new resident s or workers that the land use will generate as shown in Table 5-3. By spreading the fees based on the number of new residents or works that the land use will generate, each new development is only paying for their fair share of the required facilities since the need for the facilities directly correlates to the addition of new residents and worker equivalents.

Section 6 PARK AND RECREATION FEE

BACKGROUND
This section presents an analysis of the Parks and Recreation Fee. The Parks and Recreation Fee covers the costs to mitigate the effects of new development on the City’s parks and recreation facilities. The Parks and Recreation Fee is calculated using the Planned Facilities Method. The Planned Facilities Method estimates the costs for future facilities needed to serve new development based on a long range expenditure plan for these future facility costs. This includes the facilities required to achieve an adopted level of service that is consistent with the City’s General Plan.

Under this approach, new deve lopment funds the expansion of facilities at the adopted level of service of four (4) acres of park facilities per 1,000 persons served . New residential and non - residential development will pay the Parks and Recreation Fees at building permit issuance to provide park and recreation facilities at the adopted level of service identified in the City’s General Plan.

PARK CLASSIFICATIONS
The City classifies its parkland into three classifications based on the typical size and amenities provided. The three classifications and the typical amenities provided are described below:

Neighborhood Park:

Neighborhood parks range from zero to 10 acres. They are intended to serve residents of immediately surrounding neighborhoods within a quarter - to a half -mile radius. They provide space for both active and passive activities, and include elements such as t ennis or basketball courts, horseshoe or bocce pitches, dog parks, turf areas for flexible activity use, play equipment for children, exercise equipment for adults, and walking paths. Neighborhood parks are typically equipped with perimeter lighting and shaded seating areas.

Community Park:

Community parks range from 10 to 40 acres and serve as destinations within the community.

They contain facilities not found at neighborhood parks, including natural areas, dog parks, competition sport fields, spray-grounds, and BMX and skate parks. Community parks may provide lighting, restroom facilities, play equipment, exercise equipment, multi-use and social areas, and parking.

Regional Park:

Regional parks serve as regional draws for recreational use. They may include natural areas for passive activity such as birdwatching, and developed areas for active uses including biking and walking. Competition sport fields can be located in Regional Parks, in addition to Community Parks.

ITEM 30
Impact Fee Nexus Study 55 May 2025
City of Ceres

SERVICE POPULATION
Demand for services and the associated facilities is based on the City’s future service population, which includes residents and workers. In calculating the service population for new growth, workers are weighted less than residents to reflect a lower service demand. Workers are weighted at approximately 12% that of a resident based the fact that workers can take advantage of the City’s park and recreation facilities approximately 10 hours a week (two hours per day five days a week) relative to a resident’s time of 84 hours (12 hours per day for seven days a week) . The discount factor reflects the fact that employees typically generate less service demand than residents because they are present in the community for a limited portion of the day when park and recreation facilities are open to the public. The calculation of the City’s future service population as it relates to parks and recreation is shown in Table 2-3.

EXISTING LEVEL OF SERVICE
As of 2023, the City’s park system has a collection of 152.09 acres of community, neighborhood, and regional parks providing 2.97 acres of park facilities per 1,000 residents. The existing level of service does not meet the current General Plan standard of four (4) acres of park per 1,000 residents. The existing inventory of parks within the City is shown in Table 6-1. The City’s existing level of service is calculated in Table 6-2.

PLANNED LEVEL OF SERVICE
AB 602 states, “When applicable, the nexus study shall identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service and include an explanation of why the new level of service is appropriate.”
The Park and Recreation Fee includes the parkland development that is needed to serve the City through 2040 based on the adopted standard of providing four (4) acres of parkland per 1,000 residents, per the General Plan. As shown on Table 6-2, the level of service proposed to serve the future development exceeds the level of service currently provided, but it corresponds to the level of service identified by City Council and adopted in the City’s General Plan. The new level of service is 4.0 acres per 1,000 residents compared to the existing level of service amount of 2.97 acre per 1,000 residents.

Government Code section 66001(g) states, "A fee shall not include the costs attributable to existing deficiencies in public facilities, but may include the costs attributable to the increased demand for public facilities reasonably related to the developme nt project in order to (1) refurbish existing facilities to maintain the existing level of service, or (2) achieve an adopted level of service that is consistent with the general plan." The CIP, shown in Appendix A, will provide parks for future development at the level of service consistent with the General Plan policies of the City.

The City is not requiring new development to fund parks to increase the existing level of service but rather, the planned level of service, reflected in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan will provide the adopted level of service for future development. The use of the adopted level of service is appropriate where the existing level of service is lower than the City’s adopted standards and future facility needs.

The City has identified potential funding sources for the existing population’s fair share of the facilities including grants, reserve funds and general fund contributions . The City has shown an ongoing commitment to find funding for park facilities using a range of funding resources and approaches to finance park projects, beyond Park and Recreation Impact Fees.

As residents and employees occupying future development projects become existing residents, they will generate general fund revenues for the City through the payment of property and sales taxes. These general fund revenues can be used for the acquisition of park facilities throughout the City and the operation and maintenance of park facilities to the existing population. While the City has the discretion to use general fund revenues to fund the existing population’s fair share costs of future park facili ties, these revenues may also be used for any other legal general government service. In contrast, the Parks and Recreation Fee revenues may only be used to pay for the costs of park facilities related to new development.

ITEM 30

FEE METHODOLOGY
The Park and Recreation Fee uses the Planned Facilities Methodology for calculating the fee. As stated in the “Impact Fee Nexus Study Template” prepared for the California Department of Housing and Community Development by Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley, the Planned Facility Method “Estimates the costs for future facilities ne eded to serve new development based on a long range expenditure plan for these future facility costs.” This method is appropriate when planned facilities are most ly for the benefit of new development. Per the “Impact Fee Nexus Template”, the Planned Facilities Methodology estimates the costs for future facilities needed to serve new development based on a long range expenditure plan for these future facility costs. This should include identifying what types of public facilities will be needed in the future to serve new development and their associated costs, which may include refurbishment of existing facilities to maintain the existing level of service or achieving an adopted level of service that is consistent with the General Plan. The fees are based on the future parkland development needed to maintain the adopted General Plan standard of four (4) acres of park facilities per 1,000 residents.

The estimated cost per acre for parkland development in the City is approximately $2 million based on recent projects completed within the City of Ceres provided by the City . This cost is strictly attributed to the cost of amenitizing parkland and does not include land acquisition costs which are acquired through the City’ Quimby ordinance.

Table 6-3 calculates the estimated total future parkland improvement cost using the City’s park standard of four (4) acres per 1,000 residents and the projected future service population in Table 2-4: to calculate the total park acreage required to serve new development. This acreage is then multiplied by the cost per acre for park improvements as provided by the City to calculate the total future parkland improvement cost.

Table 6-4 summarizes the total cost of parkland development and then converts these into a cost per resident and per worker. The cost per resident is calculated by taking the total cost per acre for park development, multiplying it by the required acres per 1,000 residents, and then dividing it by 1,000 to arrive at the cost per resident. The cost per worker is calculated by taking the total cost per resident and multiplying it the worker weighting factor of 0.12.

Table 6-5 calculates the Park and Recreation Fee per unit square footage by taking the cost per unit and dividing by the estimated average unit size for each land use. The Parks and Recreation Fee per 1,000 square foot of non-residential land uses is calculated by multiplying the cost per employee by the number of employees per 1,000 square feet as shown in Table 6-5.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS & REVENUE PROJECTIONS
Based upon the projected new population gr owth in the City (Table 2-5), new development will contribute roughly 124 acres to the City’s park system, as shown in Table 6-3. Given the nature of new development and the fact that neighborhood and more localized parks are typically built and dedicated by the developer while larger community serving parks are typically built by the City, the exact identification of future parks locations is difficult to predict. However, the City of Ceres Parks and Recreation Master Plan dated 2016 defines some of the anticipated park facilities to be constructed to serve future development in the City. Table A-1 in Appendix A will also serve as the Parks and Recreation Fee CIP list as required by AB 602, and is detailed in Table 6-6.

The anticipated revenue does not take into account the current park fund balance and assumes that developers will pay the fee for parkland development in the City and not construct the improvements. If developers construct the improvements and take credits rather than paying the fee, the revenue collected may be substantially lower. The revenue collected from the Park and Recreation Fee will be available to expand the City’s Park facilities to meet the needs of new residents in the City.

Table 6-7: Projected Park and Recreation Fee Revenue

NEXUS REQUIREMENT SUMMARY
AB 1600 requires that public agencies satisfy five requirements when establishing, increasing, or imposing a fee as a condition of approval of a development project. The required findings are as follows.

Requirement 1: Identify the purpose of the fee.

The purpose of the Park and Recreation Fee is to fund the park facility needs generated by new development in the City. Each new resident creates a demand for additional park facilities. The City’s adopted standard in the General Plan is to provide four (4) acres of park facilities per 1,000 new residents. In order to accommodate these needs, additional park facilities must be developed.

Table 6-3 shows the cost per acre of parkland development based on recent park construction in the City provided by City Staff, for the development of park facilities in the City.

Requirement 2: Identify the use of the fee.

The Park and Recreation Fee will be used to fund new the development of park facilities in order to meet the General Plan standard discussed in this chapter. Parkland development is necessary to meet the City’s adopted standards of four (4) acres of park facilities for each 1,000 new residents.

The location of the proposed parkland improvements is located in the City of Ceres Parks and Recreation Master Plan dated 20 16 are identified in Table 6-6. As future developments come online and Park and Recreation Fee s are collected, the City will identify additional park sites to program the remaining 40.8 acres. The potential fee revenue is shown on Table 6-7. It is anticipated that an additional 124.04 acres of park facilities is needed to meet the needs of future development.

Requirement 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.

The Park and Recreation Fee will be used to fund the development of additional parkland that is necessary to serve the increased residents in the City. New residential development generates additional residents which increases the demand for park facilities. The Park and Recreation Fee is calculated using the General Plan standard of four (4) acres of park per 1,000 residents.

Residential development is responsible for paying its fair share to maintain the City’s standard.

Non-residential land uses contribute to the need for additional parkland for the time that they are in the City which is represented by the employees per thousand square feet reduced by the proportional time employees can access the City’s parkland in relation to residents. Table 6-4 calculates the cost per capita. The cost per capita is then allocated to each development type based on the estimated persons or employees per household. Table 6-5 then calculates the cost per square foot for the residential units based on the estimated average unit size. By basing the fee on the size of the unit and the estimated number of new residents that is anticipated to be generated by the addition of that square footage, the fee is directly correlated to the increased need for new park facilities.

Requirement 4: Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.

Each new development is anticipated to generate new residents and employees. The addition of new residents and employees creates the need for additional park facilities to maintain the General Plan park standard of four (4) acres per 1,000 residents. The fee is directly correlated to the number of new residents and employees expected to be generated by each type of development. These calculations are shown in Table 6-4. Non-residential development pays for parkland development at a reduced rate per employee based on the proportional time an employee can access parkland development in comparison with residents.

Requirement 5: Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.

The Park and Recreation Fee will fund the development of park facilities that is required to serve the new development in the City. As new development occurs, new park facilities are necessary to meet the City’s General Plan standard of four (4) acres of park per 1,000 persons. The Park and Recreation Fee is calculated by taking the cost per acre of park development times four (4) acres of parks per 1,000 future persons to determine the cost per capita, as shown in Table 6-5. The cost per capita is then allocated to residential land use based on the persons per household each unit is expected to generate, divided by the average unit size in square feet to determine the fee per square foot as shown in Table 6-5. Since the need for park facilities is based on the number of new residents, calculating the fee based on the number of persons each unit is expected to generate and ITEM 30

converting to a fee per square feet, ensures that each new residential unit is paying only its fair share of the required facilities. By determining the fee based on the estimated new residents that would be generated by new development, each new residential unit is paying only its fair share of the facilities required to meet the City’s General Plan Standard. Non -residential land uses are assessed a Park and Recreation Fee based on the employees per 1,000 square feet each non - residential use is expected to generate reduced by the total time employees are able to access the City’s park facilities.

Section 7 TRANSPORTATION FEE

BACKGROUND
The Transportation Fee is collected for the purpose of maintaining and expanding the capacity of the City’s transportation network. The Transportation Fee is calculated using the System Plan Method. The System Plan Method uses an integrated system methodology where the total transportation network (existing facilities and future improvements), is divided by the total traffic demand on the system (existi ng users and future users). Under this approach, new development funds the expansion of facilities at a proportional rate to the facilities funded by existing development. By definition, the System Plan Method ensures that no facility deficiencies are spread to future development. Future development within the City will pay a transportation impact fee at building permit issuance to buy into the City’s existing transportation network and their fair share of the system expansion projects described in this section.

Recommended improvements are based on evaluations of the existing and future transportation network of roads, intersections and intelligent transportation system and ability to meet recommended performance and operational criteria under peak hour demand in terms of trips. The proposed expansion facilities in the fee program are system backbone improvements that serve the community at large and does not include on -site infrastructure required by specific development projects. Each development project will be required to construct the specific on-site improvements required to serve their project.

SERVICE POPULATION
Demand for services and the associated facilities for traffic facilities are based on the additional trips that will be generated by new growth through 2040 within the City . The City groups the planned transportation facilities within the following categories: roadway improvements and bridge improvements. All categories were analyzed to the projected 2040 development conditions within the City.

COST SUMMARY AND CIP
The Transportation Fee will fund the expansion of traffic facilities necessary to serve new growth in the City. Table 7-1 summarizes the future traffic facilities, project costs, and costs attributable to the fee program two traffic categories: roadway improvements and bridge improvements.

Table A-1 in Appendix A will also serve as the Transportation Fee CIP list as required by AB 602, which includes the facilities shown in Table 7-1. The Table identifies each of the facilities that will be paid for in part or in whole by the Transportation Fee. The City will use the CIP facilities identified here to guide their five-year Capital Improvement Plan budget based upon City needs and timing of securing adequate revenue. The improvements are anticipated to benefit both existing and future development and new development will pay their fair share of the future ITEM 30

FEE METHODOLOGY
The Transportation Fee uses the System Plan Method to calculate the fee. The System Plan Method calculates the fees based on the total facilities, existing facilities and plus planned expansion, that that are needed to serves the total development in the City (existing land uses and plus future development). This method is appropriate when future development utilizes the existing transportation network but also incrementally expands the transportation network. As stated in the “Impact Fee Nexus Study Template” prepared for the Ca lifornia Department of Housing and Community Development by Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley, the System Plan Method “Estimates the costs for an integrated system of existing and future facilities.” The cost per trip is calculated by dividing the total cost of the facilities identified in Table 7-1 and Table 7-2 by the total number of trips expected to be generated under 2040 conditions (as shown in Table 7-6).

In order to calculate the Traffic Impact Fee, the total trips generated by new development must be calculated. To calculate the total number of new trips attributable to new development within the City through 2040, the growth projections, detailed in Table 2-1, are multiplied by the corresponding trip generation rates from Table 7-3 as derived from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). The non-residential land use Traffic Fees are assessed per 1,000 building SF, not per employee, so a conversion was done using the employee density assumptions as detailed in Section 2 of thi s report. The non -residential per 1,000 building SF rate are calculated by multiplying the rounded employees per 1,000 building SF and the ITE trip rate per employee.

Table 7-3: ITE Trip Generation Rates

Residential trips are calculated by multiplying the anticipated growth in residential units (Table 2-1) by the corresponding single family and multi -family trip generation rates. Non-residential trips were calculated by multiplying the anticipated growth in employees per 1,000 building SF (Table 2-1) with the corresponding trip generation rates for each land use. Commercial trips often coincide with other trips ( i.e., Person A stops by the store on their way home from work, Person B stops by a restaurant after grocery shopping, etc.) The ITE Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition notes all Retail and Services land uses are entitled to a "pass -by" trip reduction between forty to sixty percent (40-60%). This study assumes a fifty percent (50%) trip reduction for commercial.

Table 7-6 shows the breakdown of the 2040 trip calculation using the City’s growth assumptions identified in Table 2-1.

The trips attributable to existing land uses within the City are calculated in Table 7-4. These trips are added to the trips generated by future development within the City as shown in Table 7-5 trips to determine the total trips within the City through 2040 as shown in Table 7-6.

REDUCED TRANSPORTATION FEE
Residential developments near transit stations generate fewer trips than traditional land use configurations that rely on vehicles as the primary mode of transportation. According to various transportation studies, measurable trip reductions result for pro jects that are near transit stations and where there is a diversity of land uses that promote connectivity and walkability. To account for the reduced trip rates generated by projects meeting the above criteria, an additional trip adjustment factor is applied to new residential land uses meeting the following criteria:

1. The housing development is located within one -half mile of a transit station and there is direct access between the project and the transit station along a barrier -free walkable pathway not exceeding one-half mile in length.

2. Convenience retail uses, including a store that sells food, are located within one -half mile of the housing development.

3. The housing development provides either the minimum number of parking spaces required by the local ordinance, or for residential units, no more than one onsite parking space for zero to two bedroom units, and two onsite parking spaces for three or more bedroom units, whichever is less.

For purposes of this reduction, the definition of transit station shall be defined by California Government Code Section 65460.1, “Transit station” means a rail or light -rail station, ferry terminal, bus hub, or bus transfer station. Also, a “housing development” shall be defined by California Government Code Section 66005.1, which is a development project with common ownership and financing consisting of residential use or mixed use where not less than 50 percent of the floorspace is for residential use.

EXISTING AND PROPOSED LEVEL OF SERVICE
AB602 states, “W hen applicable, the nexus study shall identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service and include an explanation of why the new level of service is appropriate.”
A standard of service refers to adopted policies in law or practice that are either in place for a particular service or are intended to be. Transportation is unique in that each new user creates a direct, immediate impact on the City’s transportation network. There must be sufficient capacity in the transportation system to provide a consistent level of service for all users at the appropriate service standard. When the existing standards of service are not being met, a deficiency exists.

Because the Transportation fee is being calculated using the System Plan Methodology in which the value of the existing improvements and the cost of future improvements is spread based on the total trips within the City’s transportation network, existing deficiencies are not being spread to future development and new development is not funding a higher level of service that is applied to existing development . This methodology ensures that new development is only funding their fair share of the facilities based on their impact on the system.

The planned capital projects in Table 7-1, were identified by the City’s Public Works Department as required to serve the proposed future development through 2040.

NEXUS REQUIREMENT SUMMARY
AB 1600 requires that public agencies satisfy five requirements when establishing, increasing, or imposing a fee as a condition of approval of a development project. The required findings are as follows.

ITEM 30
Impact Fee Nexus Study 76 May 2025
City of Ceres
Requirement 1: Identify the purpose of the fee.

The purpose of the Transportation Fee is to fund traffic facilities included by the City’s Public Works Department through the capital improvement planning process required to serve future development in the City. In order to accommodate this need, new facilities must be built and/or existing facilities expanded.

Requirement 2: Identify the use of the fee.

The fee will be used to fund a portion of the traffic facilities identified in Table 7-1. The improvements were identified through the capital improvement planning process completed by the City Public Works Department , as the facilities that are required to mitigate the impact of new development in the City and to ensure that the new development has adequate access to a functional transportation network.

Requirement 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.

The Transportation Fees will be used to fund the new traffic facilities and improvements that are necessary to serve the increase in traffic due to new development in the City through 2040. The fee for each development project is calculated by taking the cost per trip shown in Table 7-7 and applying this to the estimated trip generation rates of each land use as identified in Table 7-3. The fee calculations are shown in Table 7-7 and Table 7-9.This correlation to trips ensures that each new development pays their fair share of the transportation costs.

Requirement 4: Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.

Each new residential and non-residential development within the City will generate additional trips that incrementally adds to the need for new transportation infrastructure and facilities to serve the increased residents and businesses within the City and ensure that traffic facilities can accommodate the increased demand. Each new residential and non-residential development pays an impact fee based on the additional trips that is expected to be generated by the new development.

This calculation is shown in Table 7-7 and Table 7-9.

Requirement 5: Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.

The traffic facilities that are necessary for new development are summarized in Table 7-1. Because the fee is calculated utilizing the system plan methodology which calculates a fee per trip based on the total cost of the existing and future improvements, existing deficiencies are not spread to future development. Service populations were identified for the project development within the City and EDU’s were calculated based on the estimated trip generation rates for the various land ITEM 30

uses. To ensure that each land use only pays their fair share of the transportation improvements based on their trip generation rate , the existing Transportation Fee fund balance is added to the existing and future transportation improvements to determine the total cost of the City’s transportation network as identified in Table 7-7, the cost of the transportation network is divided by the total trips estimated in 2040 to calculate the cost per Trip. The transportation fee calculation to spread the appropriate costs over the various land uses is shown in Table 7-9. The fee methodology ensures that each land use only pays for their fair share of the transportation improvements based on the amount of trips generate by that land use.

Section 8 WATER SYSTEM FEE

BACKGROUND
The Water System Fee is collected for the purpose of maintaining and expanding the capacity of the City’s water system. The Water System Fee is calculated using the Planned Facilities methodology. The Planned Facilities Method estimates the costs for future facilities needed to serve new development based on a long range expenditure plan for these future facility costs. The future facilities costs are divided by the water demand on the system created by future users. Under this approach, new development funds the expansion of facilities proportionally to the demand generated by each land use . In order to ensure that no facility deficiencies are spread to future development, an analysis of the existing system must be completed. This analysis was completed as part of the hydraulic modeling process during the preparation of the City of Ceres 2024 Water Master Plan prepared by West Yost and existing deficiencies were categorized independently from future system requirements. Future development within the City will pay a water system impact fee at building permit issuance to fund their fair share of the system expansion projects described in this section.

Recommended improvements are based on evaluations of the existing and future water system’s storage and pumping capacities and ability to meet recommended performance and operational criteria under maximum day demand plus fire flow and peak hour demand scenarios. The proposed expansion facilities in the fee program are system backbone improvements that serve the community at large and does not include on-site infrastructure required by specific development projects. Each development project will be required to construct the specific on-site improvements required to serve their project.

SERVICE POPULATION
Demand for services and the associated facilities for water facilities are based on the additional water demand that will be generated by new growth in the City through 2040.

COST SUMMARY AND CIP
The Water System Fee will fund the expansion of water facilities necessary to serve new growth in the City. Table 8-1 summarizes the future water facilities, project costs identified in the City of Ceres Water Master Plan prepared by West Yost dated 2024.

FEE METHODOLOGY
The Water System Fee uses the Planned Facility methodology for calculating the fee. As stated in the “Impact Fee Nexus Study Template” prepared for the California Department of Housing and Community Development by Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley, the Pl anned Facility Method “Estimates the costs for future facilities needed to serve new development based on a long range expenditure plan for these future facility costs.” In order to distribute the share of project costs to each land use type, the total water demand of new development must be calculated. The water demand factors were derived from the City of Ceres 2024 Water Master Plan prepared by West Yost . These demand factors are summarized in Table 8-2.

Table 8-2: Water Demand Factors

The water demand factor for each land use is then converted into an EDU factor, which is the estimated average water demand for each land use as compared to the average water demand of a single-family unit. This EDU factor is then multiplied by the residential units or the non-residential acreage to determine the total EDUs. The EDU calculation for water demand generated by future development in the City is shown in Table 8-3.

Table 8-6: Projected Water Fee Revenue

Table A-1 in Appendix A will also serve as the Water System Fee CIP list as required by AB 602, which includes the facilities shown in Table 8-1. Table 8-1 identifies each the planned of the facilities that will be paid for in part or in whole by the Water System Fee. These facilities were identified in the City of Ceres 2024 Water Master Plan as being necessary to serve the City at 2040. The City will use the CIP facilities identified here to guide their five -year Capital Improvement Plan budget based upon City needs and timing of securing adequate revenue.

EXISTING AND PROPOSED LEVEL OF SERVICE
AB 602 states, “W hen applicable, the nexus study shall identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service and include an explanation of why the new level of service is appropriate.”
A standard of service refers to adopted policies in law or practice that are either in place for a particular service or are intended to be. Water service is unique in that each new user creates a direct, immediate impact on water distribution and supply. There must be sufficient capacity in the water systems to provide a consistent level of service for all customers at the appropriate service standard. When the existing standards of service are not being met, a deficiency exists.

The 2024 City of Ceres Water Master Plan prepared by West Yost included a hydraulic analysis of the City’s water system and identified and categorized the system improvements in two distinct categories. The first category identified the existing deficienci es in the City’s existing water network while the second category strictly identified the facilities required to serve future development.

The planned capital projects in Table 8-1 were identified in the City of Ceres Water Master Plan, prepared by dated 2024 and subsequently updated by City Staff, to maintain existing levels of service as growth occurs.

NEXUS REQUIREMENT SUMMARY
AB 1600 requires that public agencies satisfy five requirements when establishing, increasing, or imposing a fee as a condition of approval of a development project. The required findings are as follows.

Requirement 1: Identify the purpose of the fee.

The purpose of the Water System Fee is to fund the facilities that are necessary to provide water to future development in the City. To accommodate this increased demand, new facilities must be built and/or existing facilities expanded.

Requirement 2: Identify the use of the fee.

The Water System Fee will be used to fund the water projects shown in Table 8-1. These water projects were identified in the City of Ceres Water Master Plan , prepared by West Yost dated 2024, as the facilities required to mitigate the impact of new development in the City to ensure that the new development would have adequate water supply and pressure.

Requirement 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.

The Water System Fee will be used to fund the new water facilities and improvements that are necessary to serve the increase in water demand due to new development in City. The fee for each development project is calculated based on the estimated water use of each land use type identified in the City. This correlation ensures that the fee is equal to the need generated by that specific land use. The EDU calculations based on the water demand factor for each land use are shown in Table 8-3. The fee calculations are shown in Table 8-4 and Table 8-5.

Requirement 4: Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.

New development requires the addition of new or upsized water lines to serve the increased residents and businesses within the City and to ensure that the required water pressure can be met.

Each new residential and non-residential development pays an impact fee based on the amount of water it is expected to use. This calculation is shown in Table 8-4 and Table 8-5.

ITEM 30
Impact Fee Nexus Study 88 May 2025
City of Ceres
Requirement 5: Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.

The water improvements required to serve new development are shown in Table 8-1. Service populations were identified for the horizon year in the City and EDUs were calculated based on the estimated daily demand for the various land uses as shown in Table 8-3. To ensure that each land use only pays their fair share of the water improvements based on their water usage the existing water fund balance is subtracted to the total costs of the planned water facilities as shown in Table 8-4, to calculate costs per EDU for each fee component. The water system fee calculation to spread the appropriate costs over the various land uses is shown in Table 8-5. The fee methodology ensures that each land use only pays for their fair share of the water improvements based on the amount of water required by that land use.

Section 9 WASTEWATER SYSTEM FEE

BACKGROUND
The Wastewater System Fee is collected for the purpose of maintaining and expanding the capacity of the City’s w astewater system. The Wastewater Fee is calculated using the Planned Facilities methodology. The Planned Facilities Method Estimates the costs for future facilities needed to serve new development based on a long range expenditure plan for these future facility costs. The future facilities costs are divided by the wastewater demand on the system created by future users.

Under this approach, new de velopment funds the expansion of facilities proportionally to the demand generated by each land use . In order to ensure that no facility deficiencies are spread to future development, an analysis of the existing system must be completed. This analysis was completed as part of the hydraulic modeling process during the preparation of the City of Ceres 2024 Sewer Maste r Plan prepared by Stantec and existing deficiencies were categorized independently from future system requirements . Future Development within the City will pay a Wastewater System Fee at building permit issuance to fund their fair share of the system expansion projects described in this section.

Recommended improvements are based on evaluations of the existing and future wastewater system’s treatment and conveyance capacities and ability to meet recommended performance and operational criteria under maximum peak loading scenarios. The proposed expansion facilities in the fee program are system backbone improvements that serve the community at large and does not include on -site infrastructure required by specific development projects . Each development project will be required to construct the specif ic on -site improvements required to serve their project.

SERVICE POPULATION
Demand for services and the associated facilities for wastewater facilities are based on the additional wastewater that will be generated by new growth in the City through 2040.

COST SUMMARY AND CIP
The Wastewater System Fee will fund the expansion of wastewater facilities necessary to serve new growth in the City . Table 9-1 summarizes the future wastewater facilities, project costs identified in the City of Ceres Sewer Master Plan dated 2024 prepared by Stantec.

FEE METHODOLOGY
The Wastewater System Fee uses the Planned Facility methodology for calculating the fee. As stated in the “Impact Fee Nexus Study Template” prepared for the California Department of Housing and Community Development by Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley, the Planne d Facility Method “Estimates the costs for future facilities needed to serve new development based on a long range expenditure plan for these future facility costs.” In order to distribute the share of project costs to each land use type, the total wastewater demand of new development must be calculated. The wastewater demand factors were derived from the City of Ceres 2024 Sewer Master Plan prepared by Stantec. These demand factors are summarized in Table 9-2.

Table 9-2: Wastewater Demand Factors

The wastewater EDUs demand factor for each land use is then converted into an EDU factor, which is the estimated average wastewater demand for each land use as compared to the average wastewater demand of a single-family unit. This EDU factor is then multiplied by the residential units or the non -residential acreage to determine the total EDUs . The EDU calculation for wastewater demand generated by future development in the City is shown in Table 9-3.

The Wastewater System Fee per EDU is converted into a per unit or 1,000 square feet by multiplying the cost per single family dwelling unit times the wastewater demand factor. This fee per unit is then divided by the average unit size of planned new development in the City of Ceres to convert the fees to a fee per square foot. Table 9-5 summarizes the proposed wastewater system fees for new development.

EXISTING AND PROPOSED LEVEL OF SERVICE
AB 602 states, “W hen applicable, the nexus study shall identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service and include an explanation of why the new level of service is appropriate.”
A standard of service refers to adopted policies in law or practice that are either in place for a particular service or are intended to be. Wastewater service is unique in that each new user creates a direct, immediate impact on wastewater treatment and conveyance. There must be sufficient capacity in the wastewater systems to provide a consistent level of service for all customers at the appropriate service standard. When the existing standards of service are not being met, a deficiency exists.

The 2024 City of Ceres Sewer Master Plan prepared by Stantec included a hydraulic analysis of the City’s wastewater system and identified and categorized the system improvements in two distinct categories. The first category identified the existing deficiencies in the City’s existing wastewater network while the second category strictly identified the facilities required to serve future development.

The planned capital projects in Table 9-1 were identified in the City of Ceres Sewer Master Plan, dated 2024 and subsequently updated by City Staff, to either maintain existing levels of service as growth occurs or to not perpetuate deficiencies.

NEXUS REQUIREMENT SUMMARY
AB 1600 requires that public agencies satisfy five requirements when establishing, increasing, or imposing a fee as a condition of approval of a development project. The required findings are as follows.

Requirement 1: Identify the purpose of the fee.

The purpose of the Wastewater System Fee is to fund the facilities that are necessary to convey and treat wastewater discharged from future development in the City. To accommodate this increased demand, new facilities must be built and/or existing facilities expanded.

Requirement 2: Identify the use of the fee.

The Wastewater System Fee will be used to fund the sewer projects shown in Table 9-1. These wastewater projects were identified in the City of Ceres Sewer Master Plan, dated 2024, as the facilities required to mitigate the impact of new development in the City to ensure that the new development would have an adequate wastewater conveyance system and treatment capacity.

ITEM 30
Impact Fee Nexus Study 97 May 2025
City of Ceres
Requirement 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.

The Wastewater System Fee will be used to fund the new wastewater facilities and improvements that are necessary to serve the increase in wastewater discharge due to new development in City.

The fee for each development project is calculated based on the estimated wastewater discharge use of each land use type identified in the City. This correlation ensures that the fee is equal to the need generated by that specific land use. The EDU calculations based on the wastewater demand factor for each land use are shown in Table 9-3. The fee calculations are shown in Table 9-4 and Table 9-5.

Requirement 4: Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.

New development requires the addition of new or upsized wastewater lines to serve the increased residents and businesses within the City and an expanded treatment plant to ensure that the wastewater discharge generated by new development can be conveyed and treated. Each new residential and non-residential development pays an impact fee based on the amount of wastewater it is expected to generate. This calculation is shown in Table 9-4 and Table 9-5.

Requirement 5: Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.

The wastewater improvements required to serve new development are shown in Table 9-1. Future development projections were identified for the horizon year in the City and EDUs were calculated based on the estimated wastewater generation for the various land uses as shown in Table 9-3. To ensure that each land use only pays their fair share of the wastewater improvements based on their wastewater generation rates, the existing wastewater fund balance is subtracted from the total costs of the planned wastewater facilities as shown in Table 9-4, to calculate costs per EDU for each fee component. The wastewater fee calculation to spread the appropriate costs over the various land uses is shown in Table 9-5. The fee methodology ensure s that each land use only pays for their fair share of the wastewater improvements based on the amount of water required by that land use.

Section 10 PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION FEE

BACKGROUND
The City, with assistance from consultants, oversees the implementation and administration of the existing City of Ceres Impact Fee Program, consistent with the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act. AB 602, which came into effect on January 1, 2022, adds additional nexus study requirements.

Furthermore, AB1483, which became effective January 1, 2020, requires that public agencies make certain information available on their website, increasing the administrative responsibilities of the City.

The five percent ( 5%) Program Administration Fee is added to fund the costs of the City’s management and ongoing fee program administration, collection, and reporting. This includes costs associated with City staff and consultant time, studies, and administration to support the program. City staff time includes one full time management analyst in the finance department.

Industry standard ranges from three to six percent ( 3-6%) for the administrative component of a development fee program.

The five percent (5%) administration component of the Ceres Impact Fee Program includes, but is not limited to, the following activities:
• Posting of nexus studies and fee schedules on City’s Websites • Annual fee adjustments
• Annual fee reporting
• Five year fee reporting
• Application and tracking of fee credits/reimbursements. • Periodic nexus study updates
• Staff and consultant time related to fee preparation, collection, tracking and administration.

In addition to the aforementioned administrative activities, the City is responsible for using fee revenues to plan for and construct required capital facilities. The City does not currently collect an administration fee but a five percent (5%) fee is included in this Nexus Study given the additional fee reporting requirements of AB 516, posting of information per AB 1483, Nexus Study updates every eight years per AB 602, additional staff time to administer this fee program, and the potential for a Master Plan in the future to support a Nexus Study update.

For projects that are subject to only certain fee categories, the Program Management Fee will be five percent (5%) of the fee categories fees that are assessed on the project. For example, if an area is subject to the Transportation Fee but not the other City of Ceres Impact fees, the project will be charged a Program Administration Fee equal to five percent (5%) of the Transportation Fee. The ITEM 30

Due to the fact that program administration is a new fee, it is not possible to analyze the annual program management funding requirements. However, i t is anticipated that administrative costs will continue to increase due to the additional requirements of state legislation. It is also anticipated that revenue and expenditures will vary year to year due to the cyclical nature of five-year reporting requirements, nexus study updates, and the housing market . The City will monitor and evaluate the program administration expenditures to ensure that the program administration fee is reflective of the required expenditures.

Requirement 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.

The Program Administration Fee will be used to fund consultant and City staff time related to services such as providing fee quotes, updated the fee program, tracking revenue and expenditures, calculating credits and issuing reimbursements and the required annual reporting under AB1600 which are required to successfully and legally implement the City ’s Impact Fee Program. New residents and employees that result from new development increases the demand for new infrastructure and facilities. These facilities will be funded through the City’s Impact Fee Program, which requires City staff and consultant time to manage and administer. The administration of the City’s Impact Fee Program will be funded through the Program Administration fee which is a five percent fee of total City’s Impact Fee Program for each land use.

Requirement 4: Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.

Each new development adds residents or workers to the City and in order to maintain the City’s desired level of service, new general government, police, parkland development , traffic infrastructure and water facilities must be built. These facilities are funded through the City’s Impact fees. To ensure these fees for new development are administered according to state law, regular updates, tracking and reporting are required. In addition, City staff must provide fee quotes for new development. To collect the funding for these resulting activities, the Program Administration Fee is five percent (5%) of the total City Impact Fees as summarized in Table 10-1 and Table 10-2. Using a percentage of the City Impact fees, ensures that each new development is charged their fair share based on the impacts to the City’s infrastructure . A five percent (5%) fee is in alignment with the industry standard range of three to six percent (3-6%).

Requirement 5: Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.

The Program Administration Fee provides the funding to administer the City’s Impact Fee Program. The City is adopting a policy of collecting a five percent (5%) of the total Impact fees to administer their fee program effectively. Since this fee is calculated as a percentage of the other City Impact Fees as summarized in Table 10-1 and Table 10-2, each land use pays for their fair share of the management costs based on their impact to the City’s infrastructure.

Section 11 IMPLEMENTATION AND ADMINISTRATION

IMPLEMENTATION
According to the California Government Code, prior to levying a new fee or increasing an existing fee, an agency must hold at least one open and public meeting with at least 30 days’ notice. In addition, notice of the time and place of the meeting, including a general explanation of the matter to be considered, and a statement that the data required by this section is available, shall be mailed at least 14 days prior to the meeting to any interested party who files a written request with the local agency for mailed notice of the meeting on new or increased fees or service charges. Any written request for mailed notices shall be valid for one year from the date on which it is filed unless a renewal request is filed.

At least ten days prior to the meeting, the agency must make data on infrastructure costs and funding sources available to the public. Notice of the time and place of the meeting and a general explanation of the matter are to be published in accordance with Section 6062a of the Government Code, which states that publication of notice shall occur for ten days in a newspaper regularly published once a week or more. Two publications, with at least five days intervening between the dates of first and last publication not counting such publication dates, are sufficient. The period of notice commences upon the first day of publication and terminates at the end of the tenth day, including therein the first day.

The new or increased fees shall be effective no earlier than 60 days following the final action on the adoption or increase of the fees. Following adoption of the fees, the fees and supporting information must be placed on the City’s website.

FEE PROGRAM ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS
The Government Code requires the City to report every year and every fifth-year certain financial information regarding the fees. The City must make available within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal year the following information from the prior fiscal year:

1. Brief description of the type of fee in the account or fund

2. Amount of the fee

3. Beginning and ending balance in the account or fund

4. Amount of fees collected and the interest earned during the previous year

5. Identification of each public improvement for which fees were expended and the amount of expenditures, including the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with fees

collected to complete financing on an incomplete public improvement and the public improvement remains incomplete

7. Description of each interfund transfer or loan made from the account, including the public improvement on which the transferred or loaned fees will be expended, and when each loan will be repaid and the rate of interest the account will receive on the loan

8. Identification of any refunds made once determined that sufficient monies have been collected to fund fee-related projects
On October 11, 2023, California Governor Gavin Newson signed into law AB 516 which amended certain portions of the Mitigation Fee Act related to the annual and five -year reporting requirements. Under AB 516, Requirements 6 and 8 have been expanded to include the following:
6a. Identification of each public improvement identified in the previous report and whether construction began on the approximate date noted
6b. For previously identified projects that did not start construction on the approximate date in the previous report, the reason for the delay and a revised approximate date that the local agency will commence construction, if applicable 6c. For any refunds made, the number of persons or entities identified to receive those refunds
The City must make this information available for public review and must also present it at the next regularly scheduled public meeting not less than 15 days after this information is made available to the public.

For the fifth fiscal year following the first deposit into the account or fund, and every five years thereafter, the City must make the following findings with respect to any remaining funds in the fee account, regardless of whether those funds are committed or uncommitted:

1. Identify the purpose to which the fee is to be put.

2. Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged.

3. Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing any incomplete improvements.

4. Designate the approximate dates on which funding in item (3) above is expected to be deposited into the fee account.

FEE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
The City Impact fees may be adjusted periodically to reflect revised facility requirements, receipt of funding from alternative sources (i.e., state or federal grants), revised facilities or costs, changes in demographics, changes in the average unit square footage, or changes in the land use plan. In addition, the fees will be automatically updated each year on July 1st based on the June ENR CCI for Los Angeles. The base index for the next update shall be the June 2024 ENR CCI of 15,293.36.

TIMING OF PAYMENT
Fees will be collected at the time the building permit for the project is issued. All residential projects will pay a fee based on the livable square footage of the residential units. For residential projects that include multiple buildings, fees will be due at the time the building permit is issued for each building. The non-residential communal portion for high-density residential projects (i.e., clubhouse, maintenance facility, gym, etc.) will not be assessed impact fees as the impact is considered to be captured in the residential fees. Area s that are accessible by the public (i.e., a leasing office) will be charged impact fees according to use. Further information on what portion of a project may be subject to fees is discussed within Section 2 – Average Unit Sizes.

DESIGNATED RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS DEFERRED FEE PAYMENTS
California Senate Bill 937 (SB 937), which became effective on January 1, 2025, significantly delays the collection of fees for residential projects defined as “Designated Residential Development Projects.” Specifically, SB 937 states that public agencies may not impose development impact fees on Designated Residential Development Projects until the project receives a Certificate of Occupancy or Temporary Certificate of Occupancy. Furthermore, local agencies may not charge interest on the delayed fee paymen ts for such projects; rather, the fees must reflect the fee amount in place at the time the project’s building permits are issued. In addition, the bill extends housing entitlements by 24 months for projects with entitlements issued prior to January 1, 2024 and set to expire on or before December 21, 2025.

SB 937 was designed to incentivize housing production by mitigating the effects of rising construction costs and interest rates, which hinder the financial feasibility of new housing projects.

By deferring fee payments with zero interest, SB 937 can help t o incentivize housing developers, who must demonstrate financial feasibility to investors and lending institutions before receiving necessary funding. Additionally, by extending entitlements, the bill allows developers more time to raise funding before con structing the project. By providing these incentives to developers, the bill strives to increase housing production, allowing local jurisdictions to fulfill their housing goals.

Housing projects must meet one of the following conditions to be considered a Designated Residential Development Project:

ITEM 30
Impact Fee Nexus Study 106 May 2025
City of Ceres

1. 100% of residential units (excluding the manager’s unit) are reserved for low -income households.

2. The project meets the requirements regarding a Low Barrier Navigation Center Developments, per Government Code Section 65662.

3. The project is approved by a local government and meets all site -specific criteria, affordability criteria, and objective development standards pertaining to affordable housing developments located in commercial zones or mixed-income housing developments along commercial corridors, as specified by Article 2 (commencing with Section 65912.110) or Article 3 (commencing with Section 65912.120) of Chapter 4.1 of the Government Code.

4. The project is subject to a streamlined ministerial approval process, per Government Code Section 65913.4.

5. The project meets the criteria specified in the Affordable Housing on Faith and Higher Education Lands Act of 2023 (SB4)

6. The project is entitled to a Density Bonus, per Government Code Section 65915.

7. The project features 10 or fewer units.

Although fees are deferred for Designated Residential Development Projects until the project receives a Certificate of Occupancy or Temporary Certificate of Occupancy, it is important to note that public agencies may still collect utility service fees afte r receiving an application for utility services. In addition, developers may be required to pay development impact fees prior to the Certificate of Occupancy if construction does not commence within five years of the building permit issue date.

CREDITS AND REIMBURSEMENT POLICIES
The City may provide fee credits or reimbursements to developers who dedicate land or construct eligible facilities. Fee credits or reimbursements may be provided up to the cost of the improvement, as shown in this study, subject to periodic inflation adjustments, or the actual cost paid by the developer, whichever is lower. For construction cost overruns, only the amount shown in the study, subject to periodic inflation adjustments, would be credited or reimbursed. The City will evaluate the appropriate fee credit or reimbursement based on the value of the dedication or improvement. Credits or reimbursements may be repaid based on the priority of the capital improvements, as determined by the City. The City will determine fee credits and reimbursements on a case-by-case basis and possibly through the use of a development agreement.

PROGRAMMING REVENUES WITH THE CIP
The City should maintain its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to adequately plan for future infrastructure needs. The CIP should commit all projected fee revenues and fund balances to specific projects that are necessary to serve growth. The CIP provides documentation necessary for the City to hold funds in a project account for longer than five years if necessary to collect ITEM 30
Impact Fee Nexus Study 107 May 2025
City of Ceres
sufficient funds to complete a project. In addition, the CIP is required per AB 602. This report outlines the projects that are to be funded with the fee program and forms the basis of the CIP.

Table A-1 in Appendix A will also serve as the City’s CIP list as required by AB 602, which includes the facilities discussed in the previous chapters. The City will use the CIP facilities identified in Appendix A to guide their five -year Capital Improvement Plan budget based up on City needs and timing of securing adequate revenue and will update the date in the CIP and the City’s AB 1600 annual and five-year reports.

FEE REPORTING
Assembly Bill No. 1483, which became effective January 1, 2020, requires that public agencies make the following information available on their website. The following information must be provided:

1. A current schedule of fees, exactions, and affordability requirements imposed by the city, county, or special district, including any dependent special districts, of the city or county applicable to a proposed housing development project, which shall be pr esented in a manner that clearly identifies the fees, exactions, and affordability requirements that apply to each parcel.

2. All zoning ordinances and development standards, which shall specify the zoning, design, and development standards that apply to each parcel.

3. The list of information required to be compiled pursuant to Section 65940.

4. The current and five previous annual fee reports or the current and five previous annual financial reports, that were required pursuant to AB 1600.

5. An archive of impact fee nexus studies, cost of service studies, or equivalent, conducted by the city, county, or special district on or after January 1, 2018.

Any updates to the above information must be available within 30 days.

ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
An accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is a second unit that is attached or detached from a single - family home. In accordance with Assembly Bill No. 881 approved on October 9, 2019, City of Ceres Impact Fees will not be charged for an ADU that is less than 750 square feet. For an ADU that is 750 square feet or larger, the ADU will be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit. Since the City of Ceres Impact Fees residential fees are now being charged on a square footage basis, ADU fee s will be calculated by multiplying the City of Ceres Impact Fees Single Family Residential fee by the ADU’s square footage.

SPECIALIZED DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
The fees in this report may not apply to specialized development projects such as golf courses, cemeteries, sports stadium, or other specialized land uses. For specialized development projects ITEM 30
Impact Fee Nexus Study 108 May 2025
City of Ceres
the City will review the development’s impacts to determine the applicable fees. The fee rates presented in this Nexus Study may be reduced, exempted, or waived under certain circumstances as determined by the City. Any exemption or reduction in fees will be based on the City’s independent analysis and review of the subject property.

Some developments may include more than one land use type. In these cases, the fee is calculated separately for each land use. The City has the discretion to impose the fees based on the specific aspects of a proposed development regardless of zoning. The fee imposed should be based on the land use type that most closely represents the impacts of the development.

REBUILD OR EXPANSION PROJECTS
The City will review reuse, expansions, density increasing, and rezone projects on a case by case basis to determine the applicable fees on the intensification or expansion.

For residential projects that wish to expand the size of their unit(s), the City of Ceres Impact Fees will be charged on a per SF basis of the expansion. For example, if a homeowner wishes to build an addition to their home that is 100 square feet, the homeowner would be responsible for paying fees for the 100 square foot addition.

For non-residential projects that wish to expand the size of their facility, the City Impact Fees will be charged on a per 1,000 square feet basis of the expansion In cases of rebuilding a structure after a demolition or a disaster, impact fees will not be charged on the rebuilding of the structure to the extent that the overall size and use of the new structure is the same as the structure demoed or destroyed by the disaster. Impact fees will be calculated on the new rebuilt structure and the previous structure, and the difference of fees will be assessed. No refunds will be made for rebuilds that have less impact fees than the previous structure. In cases of a disaster, the City Engineer has the discretion to allow for a payment plan on Impact Fees.

2 • Why are impact fees important?
▪ New development pays for their fair share of new infrastructure without burdening existing development. ▪ Development impact fees equitably distribute the costs related to newinfrastructure to all potential new developments.
▪ Balances fee levels with desired economic growth.
• Why are fees updated/adjusted?
▪ Without updating outdated fees there will be insufficient funding to support the infrastructure needed for future growth as projected by the City, General Plan and Housing Element. ▪ Fees were last updated in 2010 and then partially updated in 2013 to incorporate the findings of the Water and Sewer Master Plans.
▪ There have been significant updates in cost, assumptions, land uses and updated master plans since the last update.
▪ Updated analyses and methodology to comply with the legal requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act (AB 1600) and AB 602

DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES

OVERVIEW

3 Development Impact Fees (DIFs) are fees imposed by a local government on new development projects to ensure public services and infrastructure will be sufficient to serve new development. ▪ Governing law for DIFs is Assembly Bill 1600 (Mitigation Fee Act) (GC 66000) ▪ Fees are established on new development’s fair share based on a rational nexus test ▪ DIFs are a one-time fee on new development to mitigate their impacts ▪ Only includes cost attributable to new development
▪ Fees can only fund capital costs
▪ Fees cannot fund existing deficiencies, ongoing maintenance or salaries ▪ Funds must be used for the projects for which they were intended ▪ AB602 (July 2022) made several amendments to state law to fees and fee studies ▪ Encourages Agency to charge fees on residential land uses per square foot ▪ Nexus Study must identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service, and include an explanation of why the new level of service is necessary ▪ Requires that the Agency includes a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as part of the Nexus Study ▪ Nexus Study updated every 8 years
