Report: Police Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 1
Executive Summary
Overview
The City of Fresno (City) retained Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) to prepare this 2022 Police Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update (2022 Nexus Study). The City implemented the Police Development Impact Fee Program (Police Fee Program) in 2005 and updated it in 2016. EPS prepared the required development impact fee nexus study for the 2016 update (2016 Nexus Study). Note that the 2016 Nexus Study was prepared for both the Fire and Police Development Impact Fee Programs. This 2022 Nexus Study, which is for the Police Fee Program only, provides an update to the existing Police Facilities Development Impact Fees (Police Fees), and establishes the legally required findings necessary to implement the updated Police 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 protection services. The 2016 Nexus Study provided an update of the Police Fee Program to reflect the development projections and public service policies laid out in the General Plan, as well as the associated updated Fresno Police Department (FPD) Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that outlined the planned capital costs for the FPD through 2035.
After reviewing the 2016 Nexus Study and evaluating the amount of fees collected under the original fee, the City determined that the Police Fees should be updated. This 2022 Nexus Study serves as the basis for again updating the existing Police Fees to reflect new population and employment projections through 2035 and revised police facilities and equipment costs to be funded by the Police 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 Police Fees and establish the legally required nexus (or reasonable relationship) between the City’s projected population and employment (service population) in 2035 and the police facilities that will be required to serve those residents and employees.
Report: Police Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022
2 Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS)
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 a reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.
Determine a reasonable relationship 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 Police Fees
The proposed update to the Police Fees is based on the allocation of the updated Police 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 Police Fees charged to new development. The Police Fee to be collected for each residential and commercial land use is calculated based on each land use’s relative demand for police services. Police Fees will not fund construction of capital facility improvements required to cure existing level-of-service deficiencies.
Report: Police Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 3
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 Police Fees. The proposed Police Fees reflect increases for both residential and commercial land uses, with somewhat greater percentage increases for residential uses. The relatively greater residential fee increases result from greater persons per household factors used to calculate the Police Fees than in the previous 2016 Police Fee Program update.
The persons per household factors will be detailed in a later chapter of this report.

Service Population and Employees and
Development Assumptions
Population and employment projections are a significant variable used in this 2022 Nexus Study Update. The base Police 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 FPD serves the incorporated City only. It does not serve any of the unincorporated areas, including the areas fully enclosed in the City, referred to as “County Islands.” Map 1 is from the current Fresno General Plan and shows the entire Fresno Planning Area, including the City, County Islands, and Sphere of Influence (SOI) boundaries.
The 2021 and 2035 population and employment in Table 3 is shown for the following three areas:
1. Existing incorporated areas.
2. County Islands
3. Unincorporated areas located beyond the City limits in the SOI.
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. In 2035, the FPD is projected to serve approximately 731,000 residents and 263,000 employees.

Table 4 provides the details of the estimated 2021 and projected 2035 population and employment for the police service area. This table includes a detailed accounting of the sources of the population and employment data, which are summarized below:
Map Atlas Fresno Existing Conditions Report (August 2011). Population data from the California Department of Finance (DOF). Employment data from the California Employment Development Department (EDD).
Employment data from the US Census Bureau.
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 Police 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 Police 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 police services through an existing system of stations and other facilities, vehicles, and equipment. Anticipated citywide development occurring through 2035 requires construction of new stations and other facilities, and procurement of additional vehicles and equipment so that the FPD can continue to provide timely police protection services. Planned facility, vehicle, and equipment needs are determined by the FPD based on City General Plan policies and level of service standards for police protection. The General Plan includes level of service standards of 1.5 officers per 1,000 residents and 2.5 officers per vehicle. This chapter details the costs of all existing and planned improvements included in the Police CIP provided by the FPD.
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 FPD 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 police stations and other facilities 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 Police 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.
Police 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.”
Report: Police Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 13
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 Police Fees. Table E-1 identifies the planned size, location, and estimated cost of proposed police station facilities. Police vehicles and equipment are also identified in Table E-1 and would be acquired as needed when stations are constructed, and as new police officers and personnel are added, for which the vehicles and equipment are identified. To derive estimated bond financing costs, the City provided estimates on the timing of future facilities. As shown on Table C-4, the City estimates that the Police Headquarters/Communication Center and one substation will be constructed in 2025 and that another substation and dispatch emergency operations center will be constructed in 2030.
Summary
Table 6 summarizes the existing and planned Police CIP improvements and associated costs. The total cost estimate of $300.9 million includes approximately $154.2 million for existing improvements and $146.7 million for future improvements. These costs include the costs of existing and planned facilities, vehicles, and equipment, as well as the associated financing costs for bond- funded facilities. 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 $16.6 million for police facilities and the remainder for fire facilities. The outstanding police bonds are for the headquarters chiller and the regional training center. The Police Fee Program revenues will fund the entire bond debt service for the headquarters chiller and 49 percent of the bond debt service for the regional training center. The 49-51 percentage split is based on a deficiency analysis conducted as part of the 2005 Fire & Police Facilities Impact Fees Nexus Study. The City provided debt service schedules for the Police Fee Program’s portion of the existing police facilities bonds, or approximately $8.5 million. The remaining financing costs for the existing debt service are included in the Police Fee Program costs.
Further, it is assumed that one-half of all future facility land acquisition and construction costs will be bond funded and that all of the associated financing costs will be funded by the Police Fees. Police equipment and vehicles will not be bond funded.

Existing Improvements
Stations
Table 7 details the existing FPD facilities and associated costs. The FPD currently operates out of a headquarters building and five substations: Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, Southeast, and Central. The headquarters building is planned for replacement with a new headquarters and communications center building by 2035. The cost of the existing headquarters building is excluded from Table 7 because the estimated cost of the new building is included in the total planned facilities costs (see Table 11 later in this chapter). It is assumed that the existing headquarters building would be sold and that the revenue generated would be used to offset the cost of existing deficiencies and to help fund the portion of facilities needed by the existing population.
The Central and Northwest substations are currently located in leased buildings.
Although these two substations are in leased buildings, estimated replacement values are included in Table 7, as it is assumed that the FPD may eventually build new Central and Northwest substations. The 2.5 acres used in the replacement value for each of these two substations is based on the acreage for the Southeast substation, the FPD’s newest substation that opened in 2020.
The FPD has indicated that it may want to lease facilities for other substations as the need for new facilities occurs. If the FPD establishes other leases and adopts leased facilities as a preferred transaction structure, then future nexus study updates would need to evaluate potential costs associated with leased facilities vs. owned facilities.
Other Facilities
In addition to the headquarters and five substations, the FPD has a substantial portfolio of specialized facilities housed throughout the City. These facilities include an annex building, K-9 facilities, training facilities, storage facilities, Skywatch facilities, gang enforcement unit facilities, reporting stations, and other specialized facilities.
Cost Estimates
The existing facility cost estimates include both land acquisition and construction costs. Backup for these costs is provided in Appendix B, which shows land and construction cost estimates for recently constructed or planned fire and police stations in the Fresno area (including the recently constructed Southeast substation). For all existing facilities except the regional training center, the land acquisition and construction cost assumptions used to estimate the replacement value are summarized below:

Land acquisition cost: $210,000 per acre.
Site improvement and parking cost: $332,000 per acre. Building construction cost: $520 per building square foot.
The regional training facility was funded by bonds, so the building value is set equal to the bond construction proceeds. The land value is derived using the above land acquisition cost per acre assumption.
Vehicles and Equipment
Table 8 details the existing FPD vehicles and equipment and associated costs. As shown on this table, the FPD has a number of different types of vehicles, including patrol cars, unmarked cars, patrol motorcycles, helicopters, training vehicles, trailers, search and rescue vehicles, SWAT vehicles, and other specialized vehicles. Additionally, the FPD provides sets of officer equipment for all police officers. The number of equipment sets shown on Table 8 is based on the number of sworn personnel as of July 2021.
The unit costs shown on Table 8 were all provided by the FPD. Table 9 further details the cost for each patrol vehicle, and Table 10 details the equipment included in each equipment set and the associated costs.
Planned Improvements
Table 11 details the future planned FPD facilities, vehicles, and equipment needed to provide adequate service to the City’s residents and employees through the General Plan buildout horizon year of 2035.
Facilities
The planned facilities include a new centralized police headquarters and communications center building, two new substations, and a new 911 emergency operations dispatch center. The two planned new substations are referred to as Police Substations #6 and #7.
The estimated facilities costs include land acquisition, site improvement and parking, and construction costs. The costs per acre for each of these cost categories are the same as those detailed above for existing facilities, with the exception of the planned property and evidence storage facility. Since this storage facility is planned on the same site as one of the police substations, there are no additional land or site improvement costs. The storage facility construction cost per building square foot cost was estimated in the 2016 Nexus Study and has been escalated to 2022 dollars to account for cost inflation, resulting in a construction cost of $140 per square foot (see Appendix B for backup).

Vehicles
Planned additional police vehicles include patrol vehicles, unmarked vehicles, and patrol motorcycles. As mentioned earlier, Table 9 details the unit costs of patrol and unmarked vehicles. Table 12 details the number of planned new patrol vehicles included in Table 11. The number of new vehicles required to serve the projected service population through 2035 are based on the following level of service standards:
1.5 officers per 1,000 residents
2.5 officers per vehicle
Applying these standards to the projected 731,000 residents in 2035, the FPD will need another 80 patrol vehicles in addition to the 359 existing patrol vehicles. The number of unmarked vehicles and patrol motorcycles are estimated by applying the same proportion of unmarked vehicles and patrol motorcycles to patrol vehicles as currently exists, as summarized below:
Unmarked Vehicles as Percentage of Patrol Vehicles: 69%—249 vehicles Patrol Motorcycles as Percentage of Patrol Vehicles: 22%—78 vehicles
Equipment
Additional specialized equipment includes basic officer equipment and other specialized equipment needed for emergency dispatch, drug analysis, ballistics, DNA, and forensic operations.
As mentioned earlier, Table 10 details the costs of each set of basic officer equipment. The number of new officers and equipment sets required to serve development through 2035 is based on the level of service standard of 1.5 officers per 1,000 residents. As detailed in Table 12, applying this standard to the projected 731,000 residents in 2035, the FPD will need another 312 officers and officer equipment sets in addition to the current estimated 785 officers.
The costs of the other specialized equipment were obtained from the 2016 Nexus Study and inflated to current dollars using the percentage change in the annual average Consumer Price Index from 2015 through 2020.

Cost Allocation
Introduction
The Police Fees are estimated by allocating the FPD capital costs (detailed in the previous chapter) to the various land uses based on each land use’s relative demand for police services. The general process outlined below is used to allocate costs:
Emergency call activity is used to estimate the relative demand for FPD 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 13 details the allocation of FPD service calls to residents and employees and the resulting estimated FPD cost per resident and cost per employee.
Table 14 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 police services. FPD 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 13 for Steps 3 through 7, and refer to Table 14 for Step 8:

1. Identify the capital costs to be funded by the Police 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 uses1 (see Table D-1). 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 13 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.
2 The result will be the base fee per residential dwelling unit and per thousand nonresidential building square feet.
1 Based on discussions with City and FPD staff, this analysis incorporated an adjusted distribution of police service calls between residential and nonresidential uses to reapportion some calls that had been classified by the FPD as commercial. This reapportionment assigns more calls to residential units under the assumption that some service calls to places of business (e.g., retail stores, bars, restaurants, hospitals) are attributable to residents rather than employees. Even though the call is from a place of business, the cause of it may be because of a resident’s actions.
The reapportioned calls were generally reapportioned according to the percentage distribution of residents and employees in 2021. However, some categories of service calls were apportioned slightly different depending on the category. For example, restraining order violation calls were apportioned entirely to residential uses.
2 As shown in Table 14, the Police Fee for retail uses is adjusted by a factor of 1.20 to account for police services demand that is generated by patrons in addition to employees. EPS, City staff, and FPD staff established the 1.2 factor to allocate retail uses additional costs associated with the demand created by patrons as well as employees.

Administration
In addition to the base Police Fee for each developable land use, the City charges a fee to administer the Police Fee Program. The administration fee charged per residential dwelling unit and thousand nonresidential building square feet is 2 percent of the base fee.
Report: Police Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022

Implementation
The Police 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 Police 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 8 years.
Applicability of Fee Program
Once the updated Police Fee Program takes effect, the updated Police Fees will be collected from all new residential and nonresidential development within the boundary of the City prior to building permit issuance. The Police 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 Police 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 Police 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. For example, an 800 square foot ADU located on a property with a 2,000 square foot single family unit would be charged 40% of the single-family fee rate.
Report: Police Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022

Fee Exemptions
The following types of development are specifically exempt from the Police 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 Police 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 FPD, any or all of the Police Fees may be waived if the City determines that a proposed project will not impact the need for police 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 police improvements identified in the Police Fee Program.
Fee Credits or Adjustments
The purpose of the Police Fee Program is to provide funds to construct/acquire new police protection improvements. Although it is not currently anticipated that developers will construct/acquire police protection improvements included in the fee program, should this occur, the developers may enter into a fee credit and reimbursement agreement with the City.
Report: Police Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 31
Reimbursement to Developers
In the event a developer or developers do construct/acquire any police protection improvements included in the Police 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 Police 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 Police 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 Police Fee schedule should be adjusted annually to account for the inflation of construction and land acquisition costs. It is recommended that the Police 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 Police Fees are subject to periodic adjustment based on changes in developable land, cost estimates, or other funding sources. The City should review the Police 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 Police Fees based on the periodic review must be presented to City Council before any adjustment of the fee.

Fee Administration
Consistent with the current programs, the Police 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 Police 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 police 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 Police 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.” 3 Specifically, each local
agency imposing a fee must:
Identify the purpose of the fee.
Identify how the fee is to be used.
Determine a reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed.
Determine a reasonable relationship 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 Police Fee Program.

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

Purpose of Fee
New development in the City will increase the service population and, therefore, the need for new police capital improvements to adequately serve the new residents and employees. The purpose of the Police Fee Program updated through this 2022 Nexus Study is to fund the new police facilities, vehicles, and equipment necessary to serve new residential and nonresidential development in the City.
Use of Fees
Police Fee revenue will be used to construct new development’s proportionate share of police buildings (including acquiring the land), as well as to acquire police vehicles and equipment necessitated by new development. It also will be used to plan for and design police facilities and fund the studies and administration needed to support the Police Fee Program.
Relationship between Use of Fees and Type of Development The Police Fees will be used to construct new police facilities and acquire the vehicles and equipment needed to provide police protection to the projected new service population. A reasonable relationship exists between the use of the Police Fees and the residential and commercial development on which the fees are charged because the fees will be used to provide the police 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 police facilities, vehicles, and equipment to meet the new demand for police services. A reasonable relationship exists between the need for the police improvements and the type of new development projects because new police 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 police 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, police 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: Police Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 35
building square feet for nonresidential development. For each land use, the base Police Fee is equal to the allocated cost per dwelling unit or thousand building square feet. A reasonable relationship exists between the amount of the Police 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 police 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 1.5 police officers per 1,000 City residents. This level of service standard informs both the number of police 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 police stations per capita. Presently, the City has 0.011 police stations per 1,000 residents. The proposed level of service, at City General Plan buildout anticipates a service level of 0.012 police stations per 1,000 residents.
Although the level of service will be the same, the new stations are planned to be significantly larger than the existing stations.
Report: Police Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022
36 Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS)
Factoring both the existing and proposed level of service, this nexus study includes a proposed Police Fees update based on a “buildout level of service” approach to calculating the maximum justifiable fee. This method evaluates the overall police 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 Police Fees in 2016. The City complies with California Government Code Section 66006 and prepares annual reports for the Police 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 2016. In the course of preparing those annual updates, the City has reviewed the assumptions of the 2016 nexus study prepared for the last Police Fees update and has determined the cost estimates in that study are not sufficient to fund the City’s planned police 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 Police 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 Police Fees. Table E-1 identifies the planned size, location, and estimated cost of proposed police station facilities.
Police vehicles and equipment are also identified in Table E-1 and would be acquired as needed when stations are constructed, and as new police officers and other personnel are added, for which the vehicles and equipment are identified.
To derive estimated bond financing costs, the City provided estimates on the timing of future facilities. As shown on Table C-4, the City estimates the Police Headquarters/Communication Center and one substation will be constructed in 2025 and another substation and dispatch emergency operations center will be constructed in 2030.
Report: Police Development Impact Fee Program Nexus Study Update—2022 June 2022
Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 37
While the size, location, and approximate time of availability for police 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 police capital facilities may vary from the amounts included herein.
