Report: Fire Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022

Executive Summary
Overview
The City of Fresno (City) retained Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) to prepare this 2022 Fire Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update (2022 Nexus Study). The City implemented the Fire Development Impact Fee Program (Fire Fee Program) in 2005 and recently updated it in 2016 and 2019.
EPS prepared the required Fire Development Impact Fee Nexus Studies (2016 Nexus Study and 2019 Nexus Study) for both recent updates. This 2022 Nexus Study provides an update to the existing Fire Facilities Development Impact Fees (Fire Fees) and establishes the legally required findings necessary to implement the updated Fire Fees.
Background
In December 2014, the City adopted a new General Plan that establishes growth projections through the General Plan Horizon year of 2035, as well as through buildout of the General Plan. The General Plan also includes policies and implementation actions for police and fire protection services. The 2016 Nexus Study was prepared to update the Fire Fee Program to reflect the development projections and public service policies laid out in the General Plan, as well as the associated updated Fresno Fire Department (FFD) Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that outlined the planned capital costs for the FFD through 2035.
After approval of the 2016 Nexus Study, the City reviewed the Fire CIP costs used to derive the Fire Fees in that study and found that the fire station construction cost estimates were substantially lower than recent bids for similar facilities.
In addition, to facilitate the timely construction of fire stations to serve new development, the City determined that additional bond funding would be needed over the level included in the 2016 Study. Consequently, the 2019 Nexus Study was prepared as an interim update to the Fire Fee Program to reflect increased facility construction costs and bond financing costs and to ensure that Fire Fees were set at levels that would provide adequate revenue for the City to construct stations when needed to serve new development.
After reviewing the 2019 Nexus Study and evaluating the amount of fees collected under the original fee, the City determined that the Fire Fees should be updated.
This 2022 Nexus Study serves as the basis for updating the existing Fire Fees to reflect updated population and employment projections through 2035 and
Report: Fire Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022
2 Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS)
updated fire facilities and equipment costs to be funded by the Fire Fees, while still reflecting the 2014 General Plan policies and standards. This report details the calculation of the new fees and provides the legal justification for updating the fees.
Purpose
The purpose of this 2022 Nexus Study is to update the Fire Fees and establish the legally required nexus (or reasonable relationship) between the City’s projected population and employment (service population) in 2035 and the fire facilities that will be required to serve those residents and employees.
The nexus requirements for imposing development impact fees were established under Assembly Bill 1600 (AB 1600) legislation, as codified by the Mitigation Fee Act (California Government Code section 66000 et. seq.). This section of the Mitigation Fee Act sets forth the procedural requirements for establishing and collecting development impact fees. These procedures require that “a reasonable relationship, or nexus, must exist between a governmental exaction and the purpose of the condition.”
Specifically, each local agency imposing a fee must perform the following tasks:
Identify the purpose of the fee.
Identify how the fee is to be used.
Determine how a reasonable relationship exists between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. Determine how a reasonable relationship exists between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.
Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facilities or portion of the public facilities attributable to development on which the fee is imposed.
Further, Assembly Bill 602 was passed and signed by the Governor in 2021 detailing additional requirements required for nexus studies. Specifically, Government Code Section 66016.5 was added that establishes “standards and practices” for a local agency that conducts and impact fee nexus study. This nexus study includes requisite information to comply with the provisions of Government Code Section 66016.5.

Proposed Update to the Fire Fees
The proposed update to the Fire Fees is based on the allocation of the updated Fire CIP costs to the projected City population and employment in the General Plan Horizon year of 2035. The CIP costs include both the value of existing facilities and the estimated costs of new facilities. The total facilities costs are allocated to the total projected residents and employees in 2035. This cost allocation serves as the basis for updating the estimated Fire Fees charged to new development. The Fire Fee to be collected for each residential and commercial land use is calculated based on each land use’s relative demand for fire services.
The Fire Fees will not fund construction of capital facility improvements required to cure existing level-of-service deficiencies.
Table 1 summarizes the proposed fees by land use. The fees are collected per dwelling unit for residential uses and per 1,000 building square feet for nonresidential uses. The fees include a base amount and a 2 percent administrative component for the City to administer the fee program.
Table 2 compares the existing and proposed Fire Fees. The proposed Fire Fees reflect increases for the residential land uses and decreases for the commercial land uses. The overall cost per persons served (residents and employees) increased modestly by under 5 percent. However, there was a cost shift from commercial to residential uses because of updated persons per household factors and annual residential calls for service per dwelling unit used to calculate the Fire Fees. Each of these factors increased as compared to earlier estimates. These assumptions will be detailed in later chapters of this report.
Report Organization
This report is divided into 6 chapters and 5 appendices:

Service Population and Employees and
Development Assumptions
Population and employment projections are a significant variable used in this 2022 Nexus Study Update. The base Fire Fees are established by allocating the costs of the facilities and equipment needed to serve the City in 2035 to the total projected residents and employees in 2035, estimating cost factors per resident and per employee, and then using these factors to estimate fees to charge to new development.
This chapter presents population and employment estimates for 2021 and 2035, as well as population and employment density factors used to establish the fees for the various land uses.
Existing and Future Population and
Employment
Table 3 summarizes the population and employment estimates for 2021 and 2035 and estimates the growth between 2021 and 2035. The FFD serves the incorporated City and unincorporated areas fully enclosed in the City, which are referred to as “County Islands.”
Projected growth in the FFD service area through 2035 will occur in the following three areas:
1. Existing incorporated areas.
2. County Islands.
3. Unincorporated areas located beyond the City limits in the Sphere of Influence (SOI).
Map 1 is from the current Fresno General Plan and shows the entire Fresno Planning Area, including the City, County Island, and SOI boundaries. A key growth assumption in this report is that all development that occurs in unincorporated areas within the boundaries of the Fresno SOI but beyond the City limits will annex into the City by 2035. It is assumed that the County Islands will not incorporate, but the FFD will continue to serve these areas. In 2035, the FFD is projected to serve approximately 771,000 residents and 277,000 employees.

City General Plan.
2016 Nexus Study.
Note that the government and education employment estimates are deducted from the total employment estimates because public uses will not pay development impact fees. See Appendix A for details on City employment estimates.
Development Assumptions
The Fire Fee is assessed on several subcategories of new residential and nonresidential development. The fee rates are established by allocating costs to residents and employees, establishing a cost per resident and a cost per employee, and then using density factors to convert those costs to fees per dwelling unit or 1,000 nonresidential building square feet.
Table 5 shows the population and employment density assumptions used to establish the proposed Fire Fee for each residential and nonresidential development category. For the residential land uses, persons-per-household factors are used in the fee calculations. For the nonresidential land uses, building- square-feet-per-employee factors are used in the fee calculations. The calculation of the persons-per-household factors is detailed in Appendix A.

Capital Improvement Program
Overview
The City provides fire services through an existing system of stations, vehicles, and equipment. Anticipated citywide development occurring through 2035 requires construction of new stations and procurement of additional vehicles and equipment so that the FFD can continue to provide timely responses to calls for medical, fire, and other emergencies. Planned facility needs are determined by the FFD based on response time requirements. The City General Plan includes an urban growth standard that requires new development to be located within a four- minute response service area of a fire station. This chapter details the costs of all existing and planned improvements included in the Fire CIP provided by the FFD.
Replacement costs are estimated for existing facilities, vehicles, and equipment.
Some of the existing improvements were funded through bond financing, and the associated remaining financing costs are included in the existing improvements cost estimates.
The FFD provided inventories of planned facilities, vehicles, and equipment needed to serve development through 2035, and cost estimates were developed for all improvements. It is assumed that all future fire stations, other facilities, and vehicles will be partially funded through bond financing. The associated financing costs are estimated and included in the planned improvements cost estimates to be included in the Fire Fee Program.
All costs in this 2022 Nexus Study Update are expressed in 2022 dollars and are based on the best available cost estimates at this time. If costs change significantly, or if other funding sources become available, the cost estimates and fees will be adjusted accordingly. The City periodically will conduct a review of improvement costs and will make necessary adjustments to the fee.
Fire CIP and Nexus Study Capital
Improvement Plan
The newly enacted AB 602 added California Government Code Section 66016.5 that requires “Large jurisdictions (as defined in Section 66016.5) shall adopt a capital improvement plan as part of the nexus study.”
Appendix E includes the capital improvement plan that is being adopted by the City with this nexus study. This section, as well as the information in Appendices C and E describes the approximate location, size, time of availability and estimated cost of all facilities or improvements to be funded with the Fire Report: Fire Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022
14 Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS)
Fees. Table E-1 identifies the planned size, location and estimated cost of proposed fire station facilities. Fire apparatus and equipment identified in Table E-2 would be acquired as needed when stations are constructed, and as new firefighters and personnel are added, for which the equipment is identified.
To derive estimated bond financing costs, the City provided estimates on the timing of future facilities. As shown on Table C-5, the City estimates every three years that one new facility, facility expansion and replacement station would be constructed.
Summary
Table 6 summarizes the existing and planned Fire CIP improvements and associated costs. The total cost estimate of $583.9 million includes approximately $206.7 million for existing improvements and $377.2 million for future improvements. These costs include the costs of existing and planned facilities, apparatus, and equipment, as well as the associated financing costs for bond- funded facilities and apparatus. The financing costs for both existing and future bond debt service are detailed in Appendix C and summarized below.
In 2017, the City issued $32.1 million in bonds to refund 2009 bonds for existing police and fire improvements, with $15.5 million for fire facilities and the remainder for police facilities. Fire Fee Program revenues will be used to pay for 49 percent of the associated debt service, and the City General Fund will be used to pay for the remaining 51 percent. This percentage split is based on a deficiency analysis conducted as part of the 2005 Fire & Police Facilities Impact Fees Nexus Study. Consistent with this percentage split, the City provided a debt service schedule for 49 percent, or approximately $7.6 million, of the existing fire facilities bonds. The remaining financing costs for this existing debt service are included in the Fire Fee Program costs.
For all future facility construction and apparatus, it is assumed that 70 percent of the costs will be bond-funded and that all of the associated financing costs will be funded by the Fire Fees. The bond funded construction costs include site improvement and parking, building construction, and soft costs. Future facility land acquisition costs are not assumed to be bond funded.

Existing Improvements
Facilities
Table 7 details the existing FFD facilities and associated costs. The FFD currently operates out of the headquarters facility, 20 existing fire stations, a maintenance facility, and a training facility. However, the maintenance (shop) facility, training facility, and three stations are planned for replacement with new buildings by 2035. The costs of these facilities slated for replacement are excluded from Table 7 because the estimated costs of the new replacement facilities are included in the total planned facilities cost. It is assumed that the existing facilities to be replaced will be sold and that the revenue generated will be used to offset the cost of existing deficiencies and to help fund the portion of facilities needed by the existing population.
The existing facility cost estimates include both land acquisition and construction costs. Backup for these costs is provided in Appendix B and is based on land and construction costs for recently acquired land and recently constructed stations, as well as estimates provided by the FFD. The land acquisition and construction cost assumptions used to estimate the replacement value of existing facilities are summarized below:
Land acquisition cost: $210,000 per acre
Site improvement and parking cost: $332,000 per acre. Building construction cost: $736 per building square foot Soft cost: 25 percent of the sum of site improvement, parking, and building construction costs.
Apparatus and Equipment
Table 8 details the existing FFD apparatus and equipment and associated costs.
As shown on this table, the FFD has several different types of vehicles, including fire engines, trucks and sports utility vehicles, water tenders, and other specialized vehicles. In addition, the FFD provides sets of personal protective equipment for all firefighters. The number of equipment sets shown on Table 8 is based on the number of FFD sworn officers in 2021. All unit costs in this table were provided by the FFD.

Planned Improvements
Facilities
Table 9 details the future planned FFD facilities and associated costs needed to provide adequate service to the City’s residents and employees through the General Plan buildout horizon year of 2035. The planned facilities include eleven new fire stations, the replacement of three existing stations, the replacement of the shop and training facilities, and the expansion of seven existing fire stations.
The estimated facilities costs include both land acquisition and construction costs.
The land acquisition cost per acre and the site improvement and parking costs per acre are the same as those detailed above for existing facilities, with the exception that expanded facilities do not require land acquisition. The building construction cost estimates for new and replacement facilities are the same as those for existing facilities. For expanded facilities, a ten percent higher building construction cost of $810 per square foot is assumed.
Apparatus and Equipment
Table 10 details the additional FFD apparatus and equipment, and associated costs, needed to provide adequate service to the City’s residents and employees through the General Plan buildout horizon year of 2035. This planned apparatus and equipment include eleven fire engines, 6 fire trucks, 15 trucks and sports utility vehicles, several other specialized vehicles, and 278 personal equipment sets. The number of additional personal equipment sets needed is based on the General Plan standard of 0.81 firefighters per 1,000 residents. The planned apparatus and equipment unit costs were provided by the FFD.

Cost Allocation
Introduction
The Fire Fees are estimated by allocating the FFD capital costs (detailed in the previous chapter) to the various land uses based on each land use’s relative demand for fire services. The general process outlined below is used to allocate costs:
Emergency call activity is used to estimate the relative demand for FFD services and to allocate capital costs to residents and employees. This allocation is used to establish a cost per resident and a cost per employee. For each residential land use, the cost per resident is converted to a cost per dwelling unit using average persons per household assumptions. For each nonresidential land use, the cost per employee is converted to a cost per thousand building square feet using average square feet per employee assumptions.
The costs per dwelling unit and per thousand building square feet are equivalent to the base fees by land use. In addition, the City charges an administration fee to administer the fee program.
This methodology provides an appropriate estimate of the relative impact each land use has on the public safety system. The resulting fees are summarized in Table 1 of this 2022 Nexus Study.
FFD Capital Costs Allocation
Table 11 details the allocation of FFD service calls to residents and employees and the resulting estimated FFD cost per resident and cost per employee.
Table 12 details the methodology used to convert the FFD cost per resident and cost per employee to costs per dwelling unit and thousand building square feet by land use.
As summarized in the introduction of this chapter, emergency call activity was used to estimate each land use’s relative demand for fire services. FFD capital costs were allocated to the various land uses based on this relative demand.

The specific steps in allocating the FFD capital costs are outlined below. Please refer to Appendix D for call activity detail referenced in Step 3, refer to Table 11 for Steps 3 through 7, and refer to Table 12 for Step 8:
1. Identify the capital costs to be funded by the Fire Fee Program, as detailed in Chapter 3.
2. Identify the service population and employees for residential and nonresidential uses, respectively in the buildout horizon year of 2035, as detailed in Chapter 2.
3. Using the calls for service data provided by the FFD, determine the distribution of service calls between residential and nonresidential uses (see Table D-1 through Table D-3). Then estimate the number of calls per resident or employee.
4. Divide the number of calls per employee by the number of calls per resident (both from Step 3) to determine the resident equivalent factor (shown in Tables 11 as “Allocation Factor”) for nonresidential uses. This factor is used to estimate the relative impact of an employee as compared to a resident.
5. Estimate residential and nonresidential persons served in 2035. For residential uses, the number of persons served equals the estimated 2035 population.
For nonresidential uses, the number of persons served equals the estimated 2035 employees multiplied by the Allocation Factor from Step 4.
6. Allocate the capital costs from Step 1 to residential and nonresidential uses based on the percentage distribution of the estimated persons served from Step 5.
7. Divide the residential costs from step 6 by the estimated 2035 population from Step 2 to determine a cost per resident. Divide the nonresidential costs from Step 6 by the estimated 2035 employees from Step 2 to determine a cost per employee.
8. Multiply the cost per person from Step 7 by persons per household for each residential use and by employees per 1,000 building square feet for each nonresidential use. The result will be the base fee per residential dwelling unit and per thousand nonresidential building square feet.
Administration
In addition to the base Fire Fee for each developable land use, the City charges a fee to administer the Fire Fee Program. The administration fee charged per residential dwelling unit and thousand nonresidential building square feet is 2 percent of the base fee.

Implementation
The Fire Fees presented in this 2022 Nexus Study are based on the best cost estimates and land use information available at this time. If costs, development projections, or funding sources other than development impact fees change significantly, the fees should be adjusted accordingly.
The proposed updated Fire Fee schedule must be adopted by the City Council. The updated fees will be effective 60 days following final action on the adoption of this 2022 Nexus Study Update and any associated fee resolution(s) establishing the updated fees.
The City should conduct periodic reviews of the estimated development, costs, and associated funding sources. Based on these reviews, the City should make necessary adjustments to the fee. Each year the City should apply an appropriate inflation adjustment factor to the fee to reflect changes in construction costs. As required by AB 602, the City shall update the nexus study no later than every eight years.
Applicability of Fee Program
Once the updated Fire Fee Program takes effect, the updated Fire Fees will be collected from all new residential and nonresidential development within the boundary of the City prior to building permit issuance. The Fire Fees will be charged per dwelling unit and commercial building square foot.
Additions to Existing Development
An addition to existing development is considered new development for the purposes of this 2022 Nexus Study and will be included in the Fire Fee Program if the covered building square footage of the addition increases the existing structure size by more than 500 square feet.
Accessory Dwelling Units
In accordance with State of California (State) law, accessory dwelling units (ADUs) will be included in the Fire Fee Program and charged a fee if the ADU is 750 square feet or greater. The fees for ADUs shall be charged proportionately in relation to the square footage of the primary dwelling unit.
Report: Fire Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 27
Fee Exemptions
The following types of development are specifically exempt from the Fire Fee Program:
All public agencies, including federal and state agencies, public school districts, and the City, unless other arrangements or agreements are established with the City.
Any internal or external alternation or modification to existing residential and nonresidential buildings when no change in use occurs and the square footage increase is 500 building square feet or less.
Any replacement or reconstruction of any structure that is damaged or destroyed as a result of fire, flood, explosion, wind, earthquake, riot, or other calamity, or act of God. If the building replaced or reconstructed exceeds the documented total floor area of the damaged/destroyed building, the excess square footage is subject to the Fire Fee. If a structure has been vacant for more than one year, no exemption or credit shall apply. If a structure is replaced with an alternative land use, such as replacing a single family home with a commercial building, no exemption shall apply.
Residential accessory structures that do not increase covered building square footage such as open decks and pools.
ADUs that are under 750 square feet. These ADUs are currently exempted from development impact fee programs by State law. A change in the State law could result in ADUs under 750 square feet no longer being exempted.
With written approval from the FFD, any or all of the Fire Fees may be waived if the City determines that a proposed project will not impact the need for fire improvements for which the fee is being collected. Written fee waivers may be available on a case-by-case basis for certain agricultural facilities, temporary structures (including temporary mobile homes), or other facilities that are determined to have no impact on the need for fire improvements identified in the Fire Fee Program.
Fee Credits or Adjustments
The purpose of the Fire Fee Program is to provide funds to construct/acquire new fire protection improvements. Although it is not currently anticipated that developers will construct/acquire fire protection improvements included in the fee program (other than Station 18), should this occur, the developers may enter into a fee credit and reimbursement agreement with the City.
Report: Fire Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022
28 Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS)
Reimbursement to Developers
In the event a developer or developers do construct/acquire any fire protection improvements included in the Fire Fee Program, fee credits and reimbursements will be provided under the following conditions.
Developer-installed/acquired improvements shall be considered for credits and/or reimbursements. Only funds collected from the Fire Fee Program shall be used to reimburse a developer who installed eligible facility improvements or acquired eligible equipment identified in the CIP.
The value of any developer-installed/acquired improvement for fee credit or reimbursement purposes shall be based upon the lesser of the actual costs or the cost estimates (as updated) used to establish the amount of the Fire Fees. The use of accumulated fee revenues shall be used in the following priority order: (1) critical projects, (2) repayment of inter-fund loans, and (3) repayment of accrued reimbursement to private developers.
A project is deemed to be a “critical project” when failure to complete the project prohibits further development within the City.
Periodic Inflation Adjustment and Fee
Review
The Fire Fee schedule should be adjusted annually to account for the inflation of construction and land acquisition costs. It is recommended that the Fire Fees be adjusted on July 1 of each year beginning on July 1, 2023. The adjustment will be based on the percentage change in the 20-City Construction Cost Index (CCI) as reported in the Engineering News Record (ENR) for the 12-month period ending in May of the year of the adjustment.
In addition, the Fire Fees are subject to periodic adjustment based on changes in developable land, cost estimates, or other funding sources. The City should review the Fire Fees periodically to determine if any of the following adjustments to the fees are warranted:
Changes to the required facilities or equipment listed in the CIPs. Changes in the cost to update or administer the fee.
Changes in costs because of inflation.
Changes in assumed development.
Changes in other funding sources.
Any proposed changes to the Fire Fees based on the periodic review must be presented to City Council before any adjustment of the fee.

Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 29
Fee Administration
Consistent with the current programs, the Fire Fees will be collected from new development within the City at the time of building permit issuance; however, use of these funds may need to wait until a sufficient fund balance can be accrued.
Per Government Code Section 66006, the City is required to deposit, invest, account for, and expend the fee in a prescribed manner.
Five-Year Review
By the fifth fiscal year following the first deposit into the Fire Fee account or fund, and every 5 years thereafter, the City is required to make all of the following findings with respect to that portion of the account or fund remaining unexpended:
Identify the purpose of the fee.
Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged.
Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing for incomplete fire protection improvements.
Designate the approximate dates that the funding referred to above is expected to be deposited in the appropriate account or fund.
The City must refund the unexpended or uncommitted revenue portion for which a need could not be demonstrated in the above findings, unless the administrative costs exceed the amount of the refund.

AB 1600 Nexus Findings
Authority
This report has been prepared to update the Fire Fees in accordance with the procedural guidelines established in AB 1600, which is codified in California Government Section 66000 et. seq. This code section sets forth the procedural requirements for establishing and collecting development impact fees. The procedures require that a “reasonable relationship or nexus must exist between a governmental exaction and the purpose of the condition.” 1 Specifically, each local
agency imposing a fee must:
Identify the purpose of the fee.
Identify how the fee is to be used.
Determine how a reasonable relationship exists between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. Determine how a reasonable relationship exists between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.
Demonstrate 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.
As documented in this report, AB 602 added a new California Government Code Section 66016.5 that establishes “standards and practices” that a local agency must follow when preparing a nexus study. This section identifies California Government Code Section 66016.5 provisions that have been addressed in this nexus study.
Summary of Nexus Findings
The development impact fees to be collected for each land use are calculated based on the proportionate share of the total facility use that each land use represents. With this approach, the following findings are made concerning the City’s Fire Fee Program.

Report: Fire Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 31
Purpose of Fee
New development in the City will increase the service population and, therefore, the need for new fire capital improvements to adequately serve the new residents and employees. The purpose of the Fire Fee Program updated through this 2022 Nexus Study is to fund the new fire facilities, vehicles, and equipment necessary to serve new residential and nonresidential development in the City.
Use of Fees
Fire Fee revenue will be used to construct new development’s proportionate share of fire buildings, as well as to acquire fire vehicles and equipment necessitated by new development. It also will be used to plan for and design fire facilities and fund the studies and administration needed to support the programs.
Relationship between Use of Fees and Type of Development The Fire Fees will be used to construct new fire facilities and acquire the vehicles and equipment needed to provide fire protection to the projected new service population. A reasonable relationship exists between the use of the Fire Fees and the residential and commercial development on which the fees are charged because the fees will be used to provide the fire facilities, vehicles, and equipment needed to serve the new residents and employees generated by the new development.
Relationship between Need for Facility and Type of Project New residential and nonresidential development will generate new residents and employees, resulting in the need for additional fire facilities, vehicles, and equipment to meet the new demand for fire services. A reasonable relationship exists between the need for the fire improvements and the type of new development projects because new fire facilities, vehicles, and equipment will be required to adequately serve the new development types that will result in an increased service population.
Relationship between Amount of Fees and Cost of or Portion of Facility Attributed to Development on which Fee is Imposed The costs of fire facilities, vehicles, and equipment needed to serve new development are allocated among the new residential and nonresidential development based on service call activity. Using this method, fire costs per resident and per employee are estimated. These costs are converted to costs per dwelling unit and thousand nonresidential building square feet by land use using persons per household for residential development and employees per thousand
Report: Fire Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022
32 Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS)
building square feet for nonresidential development. For each land use, the base Fire Fee is equal to the allocated cost per dwelling unit or thousand building square feet. A reasonable relationship exists between the amount of the Fire Fees and the costs of the improvements attributable to new residential and nonresidential development on which the fees are imposed because the fees are derived using appropriate cost allocation factors as measures of the proportional demand for fire services generated by each development type.
AB 602 Requirements
The following text includes specific language from the newly enacted AB 602 that applies to preparation of this nexus study.
On or after January 1, 2022, a local agency that conducts and impact fee nexus study shall follow all of the following standards and practices:
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. 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. Large jurisdictions (as defined in Section 66016.5) shall adopt a capital improvement plan as part of the nexus study.
Studies shall be updated at least every eight years, from the period beginning on January 1, 2022.
Level of Service
Levels of service can be measured in a variety of ways. This section describes how various levels of service standards and evaluations have informed preparation of this nexus study. First, the Fresno General Plan sets forth the level of service standards of 0.81 firefighters per 1,000 City residents. This level of service standard informs both the number of fire stations required as well as the amount of equipment that is required.
Existing and Proposed Level of Service
The City has documented its existing and proposed level of service by evaluating the number of fire stations per capita. Presently, the City has 0.039 fire stations per 1,000 residents. The proposed level of service, at City General Plan buildout anticipates a service level of 0.051 fire stations per 1,000 residents.
Report: Fire Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 33
Factoring both the existing and proposed level of service, this nexus study includes a proposed Fire Fees update based on a “buildout level of service” approach to calculating the maximum justifiable fee. This method evaluates the overall fire capital facility needs, both existing plus planned development, and allocates the costs of such facilities to the total planned City service population (residents and employees) at City General Plan buildout.
Nexus Study Review
Because this nexus study is proposing an increase to an existing fee, the City is required to review the assumptions of the nexus study that was prepared to support the original fee and evaluate the amount of fees collected under the original fee.
The City last prepared an update to the City’s Fire Fees in 2019. The City complies with California Government Code Section 66006 and prepares annual reports for the Fire Fees. Through preparation of these annual reports, the City has evaluated and tracked the amount of fees collected under the original fee that was last updated in 2019. In the course of preparing those annual updates, the City has reviewed the assumptions of the 2019 nexus study prepared for the last Fire Fees update and has determined the cost estimates in that study are not sufficient to fund the City’s planned fire facilities that are required to serve new service population in the City. Therefore, based on the review of the prior nexus study and tracking and evaluation of fees collected under the original fee, the City determined this Fire Fees nexus study update was warranted.
Capital Improvement Plan
Appendix E includes the CIP that is being adopted by the City with this nexus study. This section, as well as the information in Appendices C and E, describes the approximate location, size, time of availability, and estimated cost of all facilities or improvements to be funded with the Fire Fees. Table E-1 identifies the planned size, location, and estimated cost of proposed fire station facilities.
Fire apparatus and equipment identified in Table E-2 would be acquired as needed when stations are constructed, and as new firefighters and personnel are added, for which the equipment is identified.
To derive estimated bond financing costs, the City provided estimates on the timing of future facilities. As shown on Table C-5, the City estimates every 3 years that one new facility, facility expansion, and replacement station would be constructed.
Report: Fire Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022
34 Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS)
While the size, location, and approximate time of availability for fire capital facilities and equipment is indicated herein, the exact timing and location of planned improvements is contingent on myriad factors such as the amount, pace, and location of new development, availability and timing of impact fee revenues and other funding sources, and facility and design and construction schedules.
As such, the size, location, and approximate timing of fire capital facilities may vary from the amounts included herein.
Nexus Study Updates
Beginning with January 1, 2022, AB 602 requires nexus studies to be updated at least once every 8 years.

Source: Fresno 2017 Lease Revenue Bonds Debt Service Schedule for Fire Projects (Infrastructure Fee) [1] Financing costs for Station 18 are excluded because the present value of the remaining loan payments is less than the remaining principal to be paid, resulting in remaining financing costs less than zero. This situation occurs because the annual loan interest rate (2.44%) is low
er than the discount rate (3%) used to estimate the present value. [2] Annual fee program inflation is recommended to be based on the annual change in ENR-CCI. Thi s analysis assumes 3.00%.
