AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 13, 2026
TITLE: AB 1600 Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2023–24 and Five-Year Findings for FY 2019–20 through FY 2023–24
PRESENTED BY: Gregory Brown, Vice President
RECOMMENDATION: RECEIVE AND FILE THE AB 1600 ANNUAL REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023–24 AND THE FIVE-YEAR FINDINGS FOR FISCAL YEARS 2019–20 THROUGH 2023–24, PREPARED PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT CODE
SECTIONS 66006 AND 66001(D)
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This item supports the City’s vision of maintaining long-term fiscal responsibility and transparency by providing clear annual accounting of development impact fee revenue, expenditures, project progress, and long-term capital planning consistent with State law.
BACKGROUND:
The Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code Sections 66000–66025) establishes annual reporting requirements for each development impact fee (DIF) fund maintained by the City. Under Government Code Section 66006(b), the City must prepare an Annual Report summarizing, for each DIF fund:
- Beginning and ending fund balances
- Fee revenues received
- Interest earned
- Identified expenditures
- A description of each capital project funded
- The portion of each improvement funded with DIF revenue In addition, Government Code Section 66001(d) requires the City to make Five-Year Findings when unspent or uncommitted DIF balances have been held for more than five years. These findings must:
1. Re-state the purpose of the fee;
2. Demonstrate the continued need for the unexpended funds;
3. Identify the nexus between the fee and the improvements to be constructed; and
4. Provide the approximate timeline for expenditure.
The City prepared the combined AB 1600 Annual Report and Five-Year Findings for all DIF funds for FY 2019–20 through FY 2023–24. This document satisfies both annual reporting requirements under Section 66006 and the longer-term findings required by Section 66001(d).
DISCUSSION:
The AB 1600 Annual & Five-Year Report provides a comprehensive summary of the City’s DIF activity over the five-year period, including:
- Annual beginning/ending balances
- Revenues and expenditures
- Interest earnings
- Project descriptions and funding allocations
- Five-year findings (purpose, nexus, need, and timing) for any fund retaining unspent balances for more than five years
The report was made available to the public in compliance with Government Code Section 66006(b)(2), which requires publication at least 15 days in advance of the public meeting. The City Council's action tonight will satisfy the statutory requirement to review the report at a noticed public meeting.
This action is informational only. No fee updates are being proposed or adopted as part of this item.
Adoption of the Development Impact Fee Nexus Study and updated fee schedule is addressed in a separate agenda report.
ATTACHMENTS:
Attachment A – AB 1600 Annual Report (FY 2023–24) and Five-Year Findings (FY 2019–20 through FY 2023–24)
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Reviewing and receiving the AB 1600 Annual & Five-Year Report is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), as it involves administrative financial reporting with no commitment to any specific project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. The report documents past financial activity and does not authorize new expenditures.

AnnualReport
Cityof Grand Terrace
Fiscal Years 2019–20 through 2023–24
City of Grand Terrace Development Impact Fee Five-Year Report for FY 2019-2024 Introduction and Legal Authority
This Five-Year Development Impact Fee (DIF) Report has been prepared pursuant to the California Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code §§66000–66008 and §66001(d)). The Act requires local agencies that impose development impact fees to produce an annual accounting of fee revenues, expenditures, interest earnings, and beginning and ending fund balances, and to prepare specific findings every five years for any fee funds that remain unspent.
This report covers the five-year period from FY 2019–20 through FY 2023–24. All financial data presented in this report is sourced exclusively from the City of Grand Terrace’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports (ACFRs), including the budget-and-actual schedules and combining statements for the City’s non-major Development Impact Fee special revenue funds. No projections, reconstructed balances, or budget estimates are used. Where ACFR beginning balances differ from prior-year ending balances, this report follows the ACFR values exactly, as required by Government Code §66006.
The purpose of this document is to:
1. Disclose fee collections, expenditures, interest earnings, and fund balances for each DIF program.
2. Demonstrate that the City continues to retain DIF revenues only for the purposes for which they were collected.
3. Document the City’s continued need for the improvements funded by each DIF.
4. Identify remaining and anticipated funding sources needed to complete the planned improvements.
5. Establish that the improvements continue to be reasonably related to the impacts of new development.
This report addresses the following Development Impact Fee programs adopted by the City of Grand Terrace:
• Street Improvement Impact Fee
• Storm Drain Improvement Impact Fee
• Park Development Impact Fee
• Facilities Development Impact Fee (General City Facilities only) The report also includes the required five-year findings under Government Code §66001(d) for each fee program.
City of Grand Terrace Development Impact Fee Five-Year Report for FY 2019-2024 Street Improvement Development Impact Fee – Fund 11
Purpose of the Fee
The Street Improvement Development Impact Fee (Fund 11) is imposed to fund capital improvements necessary to accommodate traffic and circulation impacts generated by new development within the City. As development occurs, additional vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian trips place increased demand on the City’s street network. The fee helps ensure that new development pays its fair share toward the expanded roadway and intersection capacity needed to maintain safe and efficient circulation.
Use of the Fee
Eligible uses of Street Improvement DIF revenues include:
• Engineering design, environmental review, and permitting for capacity-related street, intersection, and traffic control improvements; • Right-of-way acquisition;
• Construction of new roadway segments, turn lanes, intersection reconfiguration, traffic signalization, and multimodal circulation enhancements; • Capital improvements that increase system capacity or mitigate growth-related impacts.
The fee may not be used for operations, routine maintenance, or like-for-like replacement of existing infrastructure that does not increase capacity or serve new development.
Five-Year Financial Activity (FY 2019–20 to FY 2023–24, ACFR-Based) The following summarizes the five-year financial activity of the Street Improvement DIF based solely on the City’s ACFRs. Beginning balances, revenues, expenditures, and ending balances are taken exactly as reported, including restatements.
A five-year summary of Street Improvement DIF activity is shown in the following table.

2023-24 $734,744 $38,591 $32,055 $70,646 $0 $805,390
Summary of Financial Activity
Across the five-year period, the Street Improvement DIF remained active and stable, with revenues generated primarily from development activity (charges for services) and interest earnings. ACFR schedules show:
• FY 2019–20: Healthy fee revenue and interest earnings; minor expenditures on eligible street capital items.
• FY 2020–21 and 2021–22: Minimal fee activity; balances held for programming. • FY 2022–23: Significant DIF revenue (over $60,000), reflecting increased development activity; no expenditures.
• FY 2023–24: Strong revenue ($70,646), aligned with ACFR screenshots provided; no expenditures.
All funds remain restricted for future street capacity improvements. No ineligible uses occurred.
Expenditures During the Five-Year Period
During FY 2019–20, the City expended $40,457 from the Street Improvement DIF as a transfer to the Capital Improvement – Streets fund to support Barton Road improvements, as documented in the City’s ACFR budgetary comparison schedules. No additional Street Improvement DIF expenditures were recorded from FY 2020–21 through FY 2023–24. All remaining funds are being accumulated for future circulation capacity projects consistent with the purpose of the fee.
City of Grand Terrace Development Impact Fee Five-Year Report for FY 2019-2024 Ten-Year Capital Planning and Timing of Expenditures
Street Improvement DIF revenues are accumulated and programmed into the City’s longterm circulation and capital improvement planning process. Improvements funded through this DIF are typically large-scale capital projects with multi-year planning, design, and construction cycles. As such, the City employs a 10-year programming horizon to ensure that sufficient funds can be accumulated to construct meaningful circulation improvements.
The timing of expenditures will depend on:
• Completion of engineering studies and project design; • Availability of right-of-way;
• Coordination with adjacent jurisdictions and regional agencies; • Availability of complementary funding sources;
• Actual development pace and resulting fee inflow.
Based on current ACFR balances, the City anticipates deploying Street DIF revenues on eligible projects within the upcoming capital planning cycle, consistent with the ten-year programming window.
City of Grand Terrace Development Impact Fee Five-Year Report for FY 2019-2024 Storm Drain Development Impact Fee – Fund 12
Purpose of the Fee
The Storm Drain Development Impact Fee (Fund 12) is imposed to fund capital improvements to the City’s storm drainage system that are required to accommodate runoff generated by new development. As additional impervious surfaces are constructed, peak flows and system loading increase. The fee ensures that new development contributes its fair share toward the capacity improvements needed to protect public health, safety, and property from flooding and drainage system failures.
Use of the Fee
Storm Drain DIF revenues are restricted to storm drainage capital improvements and related capital costs. Eligible uses include:
• Planning, engineering, and design for storm drain capacity projects; • Land or easement acquisition for drainage facilities; • Construction of new or upsized storm drain pipes, channels, inlets, culverts, and related appurtenances;
• Capital improvements that increase system capacity or mitigate growth-related drainage impacts.
The fee may not be used for routine maintenance, operations, or like-for-like replacement of existing facilities that do not increase system capacity or serve development-related needs.
Five-Year Financial Activity (FY 2019–20 to FY 2023–24, ACFR-Based) The following table summarizes the five-year financial activity of the Storm Drain DIF based solely on the City’s ACFRs for FY 2019–20 through FY 2023–24. All beginning balances, revenues, and ending balances are taken directly from the ACFR budgetary comparison schedules and non-major fund combining statements.

2023-24 $305,114 $0 $9,896 $9,896 $0 $315,010
Summary of Financial Activity
• The fund began FY 2019–20 with a balance of $251,735 and grew to $315,010 by FY 2023–24.
• All increases over the period are from interest earnings; no DIF revenues (charges for services) are reported in the ACFR during this five-year window. • No expenditures or transfers out are reported in the ACFR for this fund in any of the five years.
• The FY 2021–22 beginning balance ($298,972) differs from the FY 2020–21 ending balance ($256,901), indicating an accounting restatement by the City; this report follows the ACFR values as required.
Expenditures During the Five-Year Period
According to the ACFR schedules for the Storm Drain fund, no expenditures were made from this fund between FY 2019–20 and FY 2023–24. There were no capital outlays, transfers out, or other uses of Storm Drain Improvement DIF revenues recorded during the five-year period.
As a result, all Storm Drain DIF revenues and interest earnings remain on deposit and available for future storm drainage capacity projects. No ineligible uses were identified in the ACFR.
Ten-Year Capital Planning and Timing of Expenditures
Although no Storm Drain DIF expenditures occurred during the five-year period covered by this report, the need for growth-related drainage improvements remains. Storm drainage projects tend to be large, corridor- or basin-scale improvements that require significant
City of Grand Terrace Development Impact Fee Five-Year Report for FY 2019-2024 planning, design, and construction lead time, as well as coordination with other infrastructure and development activity.
Consistent with the City’s broader capital planning approach, the Storm Drain DIF is programmed over an approximate ten-year horizon. During this period, the City will:
• Continue to accumulate Storm Drain DIF revenues and interest; • Identify and prioritize storm drain capacity projects through its capital planning and engineering efforts;
• Deploy accumulated funds on specific capital projects once they are fully scoped and ready for construction;
• Coordinate Storm Drain DIF uses with other funding sources, as available.
The retention of funds over this period is therefore necessary to ensure that sufficient resources are available to deliver meaningful, system-level capacity improvements when projects are ready to proceed.
City of Grand Terrace Development Impact Fee Five-Year Report for FY 2019-2024 Park Development Impact Fee – Fund 13
Purpose of the Fee
The Park Development Impact Fee (Fund 13) is imposed on new development to fund capital improvements required to maintain adequate parkland and recreational facilities as the City grows. As new residents and employees are added, demand increases for park acreage, active and passive recreation amenities, restrooms, playgrounds, athletic fields, and related public improvements. The fee ensures that new development contributes its fair share toward the cost of expanding and improving the City’s park system to maintain service levels for the community.
Use of the Fee
Revenues collected through the Park Development DIF are restricted to capital improvements that expand or enhance park and recreation facilities. Eligible uses include:
• Acquisition of parkland or easements;
• Development or expansion of active and passive recreational areas; • Construction of capital amenities such as fields, courts, playgrounds, trails, restrooms, shade structures, lighting, and parking;
• Capital improvements that increase the capacity of the City’s park and recreation system to serve new development.
Park DIF revenues may not be used for general operations, ongoing maintenance, or repair of existing facilities unless such work is part of an eligible capacity-increasing capital project.
Five-Year Financial Activity (FY 2019–20 to FY 2023–24, ACFR-Based) The Park Development DIF financial activity for FY 2019–20 through FY 2023–24 is summarized below using only the City’s ACFR budgetary comparison schedules and nonmajor governmental fund combining statements. All values reflect audited actuals.
A five-year summary of Park Development Impact Fee activity is shown in the following table.

2023–24 $39,368 $0 $4,330 $4,330 $0 $43,698
Summary of Financial Activity
Park Development DIF activity over the five-year period reflects:
• One capital expenditure in FY 2019–20 ($100,000), as documented in the ACFR; • Interest earnings in all years except FY 2021–22 (which shows a small negative interest adjustment of –$941, as reported in the ACFR); • The FY 2021–22 beginning balance of $38,195 differs from the FY 2020–21 ending balance of $38,665, indicating an accounting adjustment; this report follows the balances reported in the City’s Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). • Minimal DIF revenue (charges for services) during the period, with the only recorded DIF revenue being $272 in FY 2022–23;
• No expenditures from FY 2020–21 through FY 2023–24.
• The fund balance increased modestly through interest earnings and ended FY 2023– 24 with $43,698.
Expenditures During the Five-Year Period
The ACFR shows a single expenditure during FY 2019–20, consisting of a $100,000 capital outlay for park improvements. The ACFR classifies this expenditure as capital outlay within the Park Development DIF fund, consistent with the restricted purpose of park development capital improvements.
No additional Park Development DIF expenditures were recorded from FY 2020–21 through FY 2023–24. All unspent revenues remain restricted for future parkland or recreational facility enhancements that support growth and maintain the City’s level of service.
City of Grand Terrace Development Impact Fee Five-Year Report for FY 2019-2024 Ten-Year Capital Planning and Timing of Expenditures
Park development projects often require multi-year planning, environmental review, design, community engagement, and construction. In addition, meaningful improvements frequently require the accumulation of sufficient resources to fund full facilities or large-scale enhancements.
Accordingly, the City manages the Park Development DIF on an approximate ten-year capital planning horizon, during which it:
• Identifies future park and recreation needs tied to development; • Accumulates DIF revenues and interest earnings;
• Sequences projects when sufficient funds are available and projects are ready to move forward;
• Coordinates DIF uses with grants, General Fund contributions, or other sources, as appropriate.
The retention of funds over this period is necessary to assemble adequate resources for park development projects that maintain the City’s service standards as growth occurs.
City of Grand Terrace Development Impact Fee Five-Year Report for FY 2019-2024 Facilities Development Impact Fee – Fund 19
Purpose of the Fee
The Facilities Development Impact Fee (Fund 19) is imposed on new development to fund capital improvements necessary to expand or upgrade general City facilities as population and employment increase. Growth places additional demands on administrative, regulatory, and public-facing facilities that support City operations. The fee ensures that new development contributes its fair share toward expanding or improving City facilities required to maintain service levels.
Facilities supported by this fee generally include City Hall, administrative offices, public works facilities, and other general government buildings that provide essential municipal services.
Use of the Fee
Facilities Development DIF revenues are restricted to capital improvements that expand the capacity of general City facilities or enhance their ability to serve new development. Eligible uses include:
• Construction or expansion of general government buildings; • Renovations, upgrades, or capital improvements that increase functional capacity;
• Land or easement acquisition for new or expanded facilities; • Capital furnishings, equipment, and systems required for facility operation that support increased service demand caused by development.
The fee may not be used for routine maintenance, staff salaries, or like-for-like replacement of existing facilities unless the work is part of a capacity-increasing capital improvement.
Five-Year Financial Activity (FY 2019–20 to FY 2023–24, ACFR-Based) The following summarizes the Facilities Development DIF activity for FY 2019–20 through FY 2023–24 using only audited ACFR data. Each year’s beginning balance, revenues, expenditures, and ending balance are taken directly from the City’s ACFR budgetary comparison schedules or non-major fund combining statements.

2023-24 $295,068 $0 $5,000 $5,000 $5,000 $295,068
Summary of Financial Activity
Facilities Development DIF activity shows a pattern of recurring, ACFR-documented capital expenditures, unlike the other DIF funds:
• FY 2019–20: $93,100 (capital outlay)
• FY 2020–21: $60,425
• FY 2021–22: $766
• FY 2022–23: $3,999
• FY 2023–24: $5,000
These transactions represent the only DIF program with continuous capital activity throughout the five-year period. Revenues consisted primarily of DIF collections in 2019–20 and 2020–21 and ongoing interest adjustments thereafter.
Ending fund balance at FY 2023–24: $295,068.
Expenditures During the Five-Year Period
The ACFR schedules report Facilities Development DIF expenditures in all five years. Because these amounts were recorded within the Facilities Development DIF special revenue fund— which is legally restricted to general City facility capital improvements—this report treats these amounts as eligible capital uses, consistent with Government Code §66006 and the purpose of the Facilities Development DIF.
City of Grand Terrace Development Impact Fee Five-Year Report for FY 2019-2024 The ACFR does not list project-level detail for each expenditure. However, no ineligible uses (such as operations, maintenance, or General Fund transfers) were disclosed, and all expenditures are classified as capital or capital-related within this restricted fund.
Ten-Year Capital Planning and Timing of Expenditures
General City facility projects often require multi-year planning, design, permitting, and funding coordination. Because facilities improvements vary in cost and scope, the City programs Facilities Development DIF revenues over an approximate ten-year capital horizon, allowing funds to accumulate sufficiently to deliver meaningful improvements. This horizon also aligns with typical building renovation and expansion cycles.
During the next ten years, the City will continue to:
• Identify facility needs driven by population and employment growth; • Prioritize improvements that increase capacity or functionality; • Combine DIF revenues with other sources when appropriate; • Deploy funds when project scoping and design are complete.
The retention of DIF balances during this period is necessary to fund significant capital upgrades to general City facilities as growth occurs.
City of Grand Terrace Development Impact Fee Five-Year Report for FY 2019-2024 Conclusion
This Five-Year Development Impact Fee Report demonstrates that the City of Grand Terrace has complied with the Mitigation Fee Act requirements governing the collection, accounting, and expenditure of development impact fees for the Street Improvement, Storm Drain Improvement, Park Development, and Facilities Development programs. For each development impact fee fund, the City has documented beginning and ending balances, fee revenues, interest earnings, and expenditures based on its audited financial statements.
Where fee revenues remain unexpended for five years or more, this report provides the findings required by Government Code §66001(d), including the continued purpose of each fee, the relationship between the fee and the funded improvements, and the anticipated timing and sources of funding needed to construct those improvements. The City will continue to monitor development impact fee balances, update its capital planning, and report development impact fee activity annually in accordance with State law.
AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: January 13, 2026
TITLE: Award of Professional Services Agreement with Willdan for Gateway Specific Plan Engineering and Project Management Services
PRESENTED BY: Shanita Tillman, Sr. Management Analyst
RECOMMENDATION:
AWARD A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT TO WILLDAN IN
AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $394,772 FOR ENGINEERING AND
PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES RELATED TO THE GATEWAY
SPECIFIC PLAN, PHASE 1, FOR A THREE-YEAR TERM WITH TWO
OPTIONAL ONE-YEAR EXTENSIONS; AND
AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT AND ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS UP TO TEN PERCENT (10%) OF THE
CONTRACT AMOUNT, SUBJECT TO CITY ATTORNEY APPROVAL AS
TO FORM
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
Goal 1: Fiscal Viability — Ensures appropriate fiscal stewardship through the use of an existing reimbursement agreement to recover eligible project-related costs associated with implementation of the Gateway Specific Plan
BACKGROUND:
The Gateway Specific Plan is a complex, multiphase project that has been under development for more than a decade and involves land use entitlements, infrastructure planning, and coordination with a private developer.
Interwest Consulting Group previously served as the City’s consultant under a professional services agreement that began on March 13, 2018, and expired on March 18, 2023. During the term of that agreement, planning and preliminary support work was completed; however, the project did not advance to an implementation-ready phase by the end of the contract term.
Following expiration of the prior agreement, staff evaluated project needs and determined that renewed consultant support was necessary to move the project forward, particularly in the areas of project management, engineering coordination, and entitlement implementation. As staff resumed work on the project, certain analyses, coordination efforts, and supporting documentation were identified as incomplete or not fully developed and will require further evaluation as the project advances.
DISCUSSION:
The Gateway Specific Plan requires specialized technical support that the City does not currently have the in-house capacity to perform. Consultant services are needed to provide project management, engineering coordination, infrastructure planning support, and coordination related to right-of-way and entitlement implementation.
On October 20, 2025, the City issued a Request for Proposals for engineering and project management services related to implementation of the Gateway Specific Plan. The solicitation was advertised and administered through the Public Purchase online bidding platform and closed on December 10, 2025.
Two firms submitted proposals: Willdan and Interwest Consulting Group. Interwest’s proposal was submitted after the bid closing deadline and was therefore deemed non-responsive and disqualified.
Willdan submitted a responsive proposal that met the City’s requirements and demonstrated relevant experience with similar large-scale planning and infrastructure coordination efforts.
The proposed Professional Services Agreement is structured as a three-year term with two one-year extension options. The consultant’s scope and fee proposal include services intended to address incomplete documentation, unresolved coordination items, and project elements that were not fully developed during prior efforts. Certain project components remain undefined or subject to future submittals and agency review requirements and will require further evaluation as the project advances.
The existing Reimbursement Agreement with Lewis Land Developers, LLC provides for reimbursement of City-incurred costs associated with entitlement processing and project implementation, including consultant services, engineering review, technical analysis, and related coordination necessary to advance the Gateway Specific Plan. While the Reimbursement Agreement remains in effect through November 2026, staff anticipates returning to City Council closer to its expiration to address any necessary extension or successor agreement to ensure continued project implementation.
Proceeding with consultant services at this time is necessary to maintain project momentum, address outstanding project gaps, and position the City to move forward with entitlement and infrastructure coordination activities without further delay.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Approval of the Professional Services Agreement is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act and does not result in a direct or indirect physical change to the environment. Therefore, this action is not subject to CEQA review.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs associated with this agreement will be advanced by the City. Based on the scope of services and the provisions of the existing Reimbursement Agreement approved by City Council on November 14, 2023, staff anticipates that the majority of eligible project-related implementation costs will be reimbursed by Lewis Land Developers, LLC and charged against the established deposit account 23- 515-60-00.
Certain services included in the consultant’s scope may require further evaluation to determine reimbursement eligibility. The City recognizes that some costs may ultimately be the City’s
responsibility, and any costs determined to fall outside the scope of reimbursable project-related expenses shall be charged to 10-175-250-020-000, subject to available appropriations.

MUNICIPAL CODE TO REMOVE OBSOLETE FEE AMOUNTS AND
PROVIDE THAT DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE SCHEDULES UNDER
CHAPTER 4.80 SHALL BE ESTABLISHED BY CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This item supports the City’s 2030 Vision Goal of ensuring long-term fiscal viability by aligning development impact fees with current legal requirements so that new development funds its fair, proportional share of growth-related capital improvements, rather than shifting those costs onto existing residents and businesses.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Grand Terrace imposes Development Impact Fees (DIFs) pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code Sections 66000 through 66025) to ensure that new development pays its fair, proportional share of the cost of growth-related public facilities. The current fee structure for several categories was last comprehensively updated in 2006 and no longer reflects the City’s facility needs, cost basis, growth projections, or the contemporary legal and documentation requirements established under AB 1600 and, more recently, Assembly Bill 602 (AB 602), which took effect on January 1, 2022. As a result, the City’s legacy fee program predates these standards, lacks the level of detail now required for fee calculation and disclosure, and includes obsolete fee amounts and formats that are not aligned with current law or practice.
To complete a comprehensive update and restore a legally defensible DIF program, the City retained Revenue & Cost Specialists (RCS) to prepare the 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report (“Nexus Study”). The Nexus Study updates the City’s fee calculations, land use and growth assumptions, growth projections, facility needs, and cost basis to reflect present service conditions and capital requirements. It applies the Mitigation Fee Act nexus methodology by documenting existing levels of service, identifying the facilities required to maintain those levels as development occurs, allocating the growth-related share of facility costs to new development, and
converting that share into maximum justified fees. The Study also provides the detailed calculation tables, cost support, and statutory findings required under AB 1600 and AB 602, including residential fees expressed on a per-square-foot basis. The Nexus Study establishes maximum legally defensible development impact fees for Law Enforcement (County Sheriff) Facilities, Street Improvements, General City Facilities, Public Use Facilities, and Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities, and includes an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) impact fee application appendix.
The Nexus Study also introduces a Law Enforcement (County Sheriff) Facilities fee to address growth-related facility needs associated with contracted Sheriff services. The intent of this fee is to fund eligible City-owned facilities and other capital improvements that support the delivery of law enforcement services. Adoption of this fee does not create or imply the formation of an independent municipal police department.
The proposed Ordinance would amend Grand Terrace Municipal Code Section 4.80.010. That section currently contains specific fee amounts adopted in 1989 and 2006 for several public facility categories. These amounts are obsolete and no longer aligned with the updated Nexus Study.
Consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act and AB 1600 implementation practice, fee schedules are adopted by resolution and supported by a current nexus study, rather than embedding specific dollar amounts directly in the Municipal Code, so that future updates can be made transparently when supported by updated documentation.
Finally, State law under the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code §§66000–66025) requires the City to prepare an Annual Development Impact Fee Report each year (Gov. Code §66006) and to review and update its DIF program and findings at least every five years to confirm the continued nexus and proportionality of the fees (Gov. Code §66001(d)). As part of this update cycle, RCS is preparing and submitting the required annual DIF report(s) and the five-year DIF review so that, upon adoption of the Nexus Study and updated fees, the City will be brought current with these statutory requirements.
Following adoption, the City will continue to prepare the Annual Development Impact Fee Report each year and complete the required five-year review and update process on an ongoing basis to maintain compliance and ensure that DIFs remain current and proportionate as conditions change.
DISCUSSION:
When new homes or businesses are built, they create more demand for City public facilities and services. Development Impact Fees (DIFs) are one-time fees paid by new development so the City can fund the capital facilities needed to serve that growth, helping maintain established service levels while ensuring that growth pays its fair, proportional share rather than shifting those costs to existing residents and businesses.
The 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report (“Nexus Study”) is based on the principle that growth creates additional demand for public facilities. As Grand Terrace grows, new homes and businesses add residents, employees, visitors, vehicles on local streets, and calls-forservice for public safety, increasing demand on City facilities. If facilities are not expanded to serve this growth, the level of service available to the community will decline, or the cost of maintaining current service levels would otherwise fall on existing residents and businesses. The Nexus Study identifies the growth expected to occur, determines the facilities needed to maintain existing service levels as growth occurs, estimates the cost of those facilities, and calculates maximum justified Development Impact Fees so new development pays its fair share of growth-related costs. The Study also establishes the maximum fee amounts the City may charge by category, and the City Council may adopt fees at or below these maximums.
The Nexus Study establishes maximum justified DIFs for five infrastructure categories: Law Enforcement (County Sheriff) Facilities, Street Improvements, General City Facilities, Public Use
Facilities, and Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities.
Law Enforcement (County Sheriff) Facilities Fee: This fee pays for growth-related facilities that support contracted Sheriff services. Eligible uses include expansion or improvement of City-owned space and related capital improvements necessary to maintain service levels as calls-for-service increase with new development. For example, if a new housing project adds residents and increases calls-for-service, this fee helps fund the City-owned Sheriff facility space and improvements needed to handle that added demand.
Street Improvements Fee: This fee addresses the growth-related demands new development places on the City’s local traffic circulation system. In this update cycle, Street Improvements requirements are limited to preparation and updates of a Circulation (Street Improvements) Master Plan, consistent with City direction, and the Study notes that future construction projects will be identified and programmed through that planning effort. For example, if a new retail store or housing project adds traffic to local streets, the Street Improvements DIF supports the Master Plan now and, once specific growth-related circulation projects are identified and nexus-supported in a future update, the fee can be applied to those improvements.
General City Facilities Fee: This fee funds growth-related improvements to City administrative and operational facilities that serve the community as a whole. Eligible uses include capital improvements that expand capacity for Citywide services as development increases demand for administrative and operational functions. For example, as new homes are built and demand increases for permitting, inspections, and related services, the fee helps fund growth-related expansion or upgrades to City facilities and supporting systems needed to maintain service levels.
Public Use Facilities Fee: This fee funds growth-related public meeting and community facility space.
Eligible uses include capital improvements that expand or provide public meeting and community space required to maintain the City’s public use facilities service standard as population and development increase. For example, as development adds residents and service population, the fee supports construction or expansion of public meeting and community space needed to serve that added demand.
Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities Fee: This fee funds growth-related parkland acquisition and capacity-adding park improvements needed to maintain the City’s adopted parks level of service as development occurs. Eligible uses are limited to capital projects that add usable recreation capacity and exclude operations, routine maintenance, and like-for-like replacement that does not increase capacity. For example, when new housing adds residents, the Parks DIF can be used to acquire additional parkland and construct new or expanded park facilities to maintain the existing service level for parks. Subdivision parkland dedication and in-lieu fees under Quimby are administered separately from this Parks DIF program; where Quimby statutory findings are met, those subdivision resources may be applied to rehabilitate existing parks serving the subdivision area.
The appendices to the Nexus Study provide the technical backup and application materials that support the fee program and City Council adoption, including the Development Impact Fee Master Fee Schedule, Grand Terrace Land Use Crosswalk, Persons-Per-Household Methodology, Average Residential Unit Size Documentation, Net New Fee Application, Accessory Dwelling Unit Impact Fee Application, Public Safety Building Model Support, Quality-of-Life Cost Basis, Development Impact Fee Capital Improvement Plan, and Development Feasibility Analysis.
The accompanying Resolution adopts the Nexus Study and an updated Development Impact Fee schedule that may be set at or below the maximum justified amounts identified in the Study. This provides flexibility for the City Council to consider market conditions and policy direction while ensuring that no adopted fee exceeds the legally justified maximum.
The accompanying Ordinance amends Section 4.80.010 of the Grand Terrace Municipal Code to remove obsolete fee amounts and to provide that DIF schedules under Chapter 4.80 will be
established and amended by resolution of the City Council, supported by a current nexus study, consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act and current practice. The Ordinance does not itself impose or increase any DIF; it updates only the mechanism by which fee schedules are adopted.
City staff and the City’s consultant will be available at the meeting to present the Nexus Study and respond to any questions from the City Council.
OPTIONS FOR CITY COUNCIL:
Option 1: Approve the Nexus Study, Development Impact Fee schedule, Resolution, and Ordinance as recommended.
Option 2: Approve the Nexus Study, Resolution, and Ordinance with modifications, provided that any adopted fee amounts do not exceed the maximum justified amounts in the Study, and direct staff on the specific changes.
Option 3: Do not approve the proposed update at this time.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 4.80.010 OF THE GRAND TERRACE MUNICIPAL CODE TO REMOVE
OBSOLETE FEE AMOUNTS AND PROVIDE THAT DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES SHALL BE
ESTABLISHED BY CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION CONSISTENT WITH THE MITIGATION FEE ACT.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Findings.
The City Council of the City of Grand Terrace hereby finds and declares as follows:
A. Grand Terrace Municipal Code Chapter 4.80 currently includes specific development impact fee amounts adopted in 1989 and 2006 for various categories of public facilities, including storm drainage facilities, general facilities, public use facilities, and parkland and open space acquisition. These amounts are no longer current and do not reflect the City’s updated capital needs, cost basis, or recent nexus analysis.
B. Embedding specific fee amounts directly in the Municipal Code requires future fee updates to be accomplished only through ordinance amendments, which can be procedurally burdensome and is inconsistent with modern practice under the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code Sections 66000 through 66025).
C. The Mitigation Fee Act allows development impact fees to be adopted by resolution, provided that the fees are supported by appropriate nexus findings and that the procedural requirements of the Act are followed.
D. Grand Terrace Municipal Code Chapter 4.104, relating to circulation improvement fees, already provides that the applicable fee schedules may be established by resolution of the City Council, consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act.
E. The City has prepared and adopted the 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report, which establishes the maximum justified development impact fees for various categories of public facilities.
F. It is in the public interest to amend Section 4.80.010 to remove obsolete fee amounts and to provide that development impact fee schedules under Chapter 4.80 will be established and amended by resolution of the City Council, supported by a current nexus study and consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act.
G. This ordinance does not impose or increase any development impact fee. It solely updates the mechanism by which such fees are adopted and amended.
SECTION 2. Amendment to Section 4.80.010.
Section 4.80.010 of the Grand Terrace Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“4.80.010 – Development Impact Fees.
A. Development Impact Fees for Storm Drainage Facilities, General City Facilities, Public Use Facilities, and Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities shall be established, and may be amended from time to time, by resolution of the City Council.
B. All Development Impact Fees adopted under this Chapter shall be consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code Sections 66000 through 66025), the City’s adopted Development Impact Fee Nexus Study, and any subsequent updates thereto.
C. Revenues collected from development impact fees established under this Chapter shall be deposited into separate accounts or funds in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act and shall be expended solely for eligible capital improvements identified in the applicable nexus study, including related design, engineering, rights-of-way, and other eligible capital costs.
D. Adoption of fee schedules pursuant to this Chapter does not obligate the City to construct any specific capital improvement or to complete any improvement on a particular schedule or timeline. The timing, priority, and specific scope of improvements shall be determined through the City’s capital improvement planning and budget processes, subject to available funding and City Council direction.”
SECTION 3. California Environmental Quality Act.
The City Council finds that this ordinance is not a project for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), because it involves the creation of a government funding mechanism and does not commit the City to any specific capital improvement project. Any future projects funded in whole or in part by development impact fees shall be subject to separate CEQA review, as applicable.
SECTION 4. Severability.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions might be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 5. Effective Date.
This ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its adoption.
SECTION 6. Publication.
The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this ordinance and shall cause the same to be published or posted in the manner required by law.
INTRODUCED at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace on the ____ day of __________, 2025, and thereafter adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Grand Terrace on the ____ day of __________, 2025, by the following vote:

RE: 2025–26 Development Impact Fee (DIF) Calculation and Nexus Study Honorable Mayor and Council Members:
The City of Grand Terrace has undertaken a comprehensive update of its Development Impact Fee (DIF) program to ensure that the cost of public facilities needed to serve growth is allocated in a fair, transparent, and legally defensible manner. This update reflects current statutory requirements— including the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code §66000 et seq.) and Assembly Bill 602 (AB602)—and modernizes the City’s fee structure by standardizing residential fees on a per–square-foot basis and extending the program to all major land use categories.
Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC (RCS) was engaged to prepare this Nexus Study and evaluate the growth-related facility needs associated with residential and nonresidential development. The study establishes maximum justified fees across five infrastructure categories: Law Enforcement (County Sheriff), Street Improvements, General City Facilities, Public Use Facilities, and Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities. Each program applies an AB-602–compliant methodology that identifies the existing level of service, determines the portion of future capital needs attributable to new development, and distributes those costs proportionally across land uses based on measurable demand factors.
The maximum justified fees presented in this report are designed to ensure that new development funds only its fair share of growth-related facility needs, preventing existing residents and businesses from subsidizing future development. The report provides transparent calculations, clearly documented assumptions, and complete statutory findings to support City Council consideration of adopting the updated DIF program.

Executive Summary
The City of Grand Terrace Development Impact Fee (DIF) Nexus Study updates and documents a citywide program for �ive infrastructure categories: Law Enforcement (County Sheriff), Street Improvements, General City Facilities, Public Use Facilities (community and public meeting space), and Parks. The update is structured to comply with the Mitigation Fee Act and Assembly Bill 602, modernize the existing fee structure, and present all residential fees on a per–square foot basis. The study’s overarching goal is to ensure that new development funds its fair, proportional share of growth-related capital costs without paying for existing de�iciencies.
The analysis is built on a parcel-based land use database and a de�ined planning horizon, measuring both existing and future development across six fee land uses: Single Family Detached, Multi-Family Attached, Manufactured/Mobile Homes, General Commercial, Of�ice Commercial, and Industrial.
Persons-per-household factors and nonresidential demand indicators, such as calls-for-service and trip-miles, are used to relate each land use to its expected use of public facilities. These measures provide a consistent way to allocate project costs so that the fee charged to each land use does not exceed the cost of facilities reasonably attributable to that development.
Across all programs, the capital improvement program identi�ied in the study totals just over $95 million in facilities and projects. After recognizing other funding sources, existing balances, and the portions of projects that serve the existing community, approximately $90 million in costs remain as growth-related and potentially eligible for DIF funding. Key elements of this program include expansion of City-owned space that supports contracted sheriff services, preparation and implementation of a Circulation Master Plan for streets and traf�ic operations, upgrades and expansion of general city buildings, yard facilities, vehicles, and equipment, additional public meeting and community space, and parkland acquisition and park improvements needed to maintain the City’s existing level of service for parks as the community builds out.
The study applies standard nexus methods tailored to each program: an existing-inventory approach for facilities like law enforcement, public use, and parks, a system-planning approach for General City Facilities, and a planned-facility or master-planning approach for street improvements. In each case, the methodology starts from the existing system, identi�ies growth-related capital needs, nets out non-fee funding, and then distributes the remaining costs across land uses using service-based demand measures. This structure is intended to be transparent and legally defensible, showing how each dollar of fee revenue is tied to speci�ic facilities and to the development that generates the need for those facilities.
From this cost basis, the study derives maximum justi�ied development impact fees stated per square foot for residential and nonresidential land uses. Commercial lodging is not included because it is not present in Grand Terrace, and institutional land uses are not treated as a separate fee category. The combined maximum justi�ied fees are highest for Multi-Family Attached and Manufactured/Mobile Homes, re�lecting higher service population per square foot, and lower for nonresidential uses, particularly Industrial. The City Council retains full discretion to adopt fees at or below these i
maximum levels, to phase in changes over time, or to provide targeted reductions or exemptions, so long as any adopted schedule remains consistent with the nexus, cost allocations, and proportionality documented in the study.

Chapter 1
Introduction and Legal Framework
Purpose of the Study
The City of Grand Terrace periodically updates its Development Impact Fee (DIF) program to keep fees aligned with statutory requirements, current cost conditions, and an equitable allocation of growth across land uses. This Nexus Study provides the technical and legal basis for City Council consideration of fee changes in this update cycle.
This Nexus Study updates and documents a set of Development Impact Fees (DIFs) for �ive program areas: Law Enforcement (County Sheriff), Street Improvements, General City Facilities, Public Use Facilities (Community Centers), and Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities. For Law Enforcement, the study establishes a new fee to help fund growth’s fair share of space needs associated with contracted sheriff services. For Street Improvements, the study consolidates circulation-related planning activities into a single Street Improvements Impact Fee focused on master planning and program-level work. For General City Facilities, Public Use Facilities, and Parks, the study re�ines the existing fee structures, aligns them with current land use categories and service standards, and converts residential fees to a per square foot basis by land use as required by Assembly Bill 602 (AB602).
For Street Improvements, the study advances a single Street Improvements impact fee for this cycle by consolidating the legacy Arterial Improvement, Traf�ic Signal Improvement, and Operational Improvement components. For Facilities, the study de�ines two distinct programs, General City Facilities and Public Use Facilities, so that purposes, eligible uses, and accounting are clearly distinguished and compliant with the Mitigation Fee Act.
At present, the City assesses impact fees only on residential development. This study calculates fee schedules for both residential and non-residential land uses; whether and how to apply fees will be determined by the City Council at adoption.
Grounded in statute, current cost data, and transparent methods, this study equips the City Council to consider adopting the new Law Enforcement fee and updated fee schedules for the City’s existing programs.
Background and Context
Grand Terrace’s Development Impact Fee (DIF) program has operated for nearly two decades, beginning with a 2005–06 nexus study prepared by Revenue & Cost Specialists (RCS). The Municipal Code formalizes the circulation fee framework in Chapter 4.104 (Circulation Improvement Fee Program)—which establishes arterial, traf�ic signal, and operational components—and the chapter was comprehensively amended on February 23, 2016. Program administration is integrated with the City’s development review and capital delivery functions (Planning & Development Services; Public 1
Chapter 1 Introduction and Legal Framework
City of Grand Terrace 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Works), and current fee schedules are made available to applicants through the City’s Building & Safety pages.
Legal Authority
California law establishes the framework under which cities may adopt and update development impact fees. Two key legal authorities govern this study: the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code §§66000–66025) and Assembly Bill 602 (AB-602). Together, these statutes de�ine the requirements that must be met in order to lawfully impose development impact fees on new construction.
Mitigation Fee Act (AB-1600): The Mitigation Fee Act, originally enacted as Assembly Bill 1600 in 1987, requires that local agencies establish a reasonable relationship, or nexus, between the fees charged to new development and the facilities or improvements �inanced with those fees. The Act sets forth several key standards:
• Fees must be supported by �indings demonstrating the purpose of the fee and its use. • There must be a demonstrated connection between the type of development paying the fee and the need for the public facility.
• Fees must not exceed the proportional share of costs attributable to the development. • Fees must be deposited in separate accounts, with annual and �ive-year reporting requirements.
Assembly Bill 602 (AB-602): Adopted in 2021, AB-602 strengthens the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act by mandating greater transparency and consistency in nexus studies. Among its provisions, AB-602 requires:
• Standardized methodologies for calculating fees, including identi�ication of the population and employment assumptions used.
• Clear demonstration of how growth projections relate to infrastructure demand. • Inclusion of at least one comparison of fee levels with those in other jurisdictions. • Enhanced requirements for public review and input prior to adoption.
Application to Grand Terrace: This Nexus Study has been prepared in compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act and AB-602. It documents the relationship between new development in Grand Terrace and the need for additional public facilities, ensuring that fees are proportionate and legally defensible. The study applies standardized demographic and land use methodologies consistent with AB-602 so that all underlying assumptions are explicitly identi�ied, consistently applied, and transparent to the public. By adhering to these legal standards and applying data-driven methods, the City of Grand Terrace ensures that its updated development impact fee program both complies with state law and equitably assigns the costs of growth.

Chapter 1 Introduction and Legal Framework
City of Grand Terrace 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Required Legal Findings
In compliance with Government Code §66001, the nexus study must establish �ive �indings for each proposed fee:
1. Purpose of the fee
2. Use of the fee revenues
3. Relationship between the fee’s use and the development type
4. Relationship between the facility need and the development type
5. Relationship between the fee amount and the development’s share of cost If any fees remain unspent after �ive years, the City must reaf�irm these �indings or refund the unexpended balance.
Scope of the Program
This Nexus Study updates and re�ines the scope of the City of Grand Terrace’s Development Impact Fee (DIF) program. The program ensures that new development contributes an equitable share of the cost of public facilities and infrastructure required to accommodate growth.
Program Categories Included in This Update
• Law Enforcement (County Sheriff): Space and related facility needs to support contracted law-enforcement services.
• Street Improvements: Consolidation of the City’s prior Arterial Improvement, Traf�ic Signal Improvement, and Operational Improvement fee components into a single Street Improvements Impact Fee that, for this update cycle, funds circulation and street master planning, traf�ic analyses, and related program-level activities necessary to identify and program future capital projects tied to growth.
• General City Facilities: Administrative and government buildings used to carry out citywide functions (e.g., City Hall, Council Chambers, shared support spaces). • Public Use Facilities (Community Centers): Community centers and other public meeting facilities.
• Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities: Acquisition of parkland and development and improvement of neighborhood and community parks.
The scope of this program is citywide, applying to all new residential and nonresidential development within Grand Terrace.
Land Use Categories Used in This Study
• Residential: Single Family Detached, Multi-Family Attached, and Manufactured/Mobile Homes.
• Nonresidential: General Commercial, Of�ice Commercial, and Industrial. 3

Methodological Overview
This Nexus Study applies a structured methodology to evaluate the impacts of new development on Grand Terrace’s public facilities. The analysis distinguishes between a 30-year land use database horizon used to measure the scale and distribution of ultimate growth, and a 10-year project implementation horizon used to identify and phase capital projects. This two-horizon approach keeps the demand model comprehensive while aligning the capital delivery window with realistic implementation schedules.
Land Use Database (30-Year Horizon)
The land use database re�lects existing development and potential new development over a 30-year horizon, as provided by the City for this study. This horizon is used to:
• quantify the magnitude and geographic distribution of growth, • allocate demand across residential and nonresidential land uses, and • maintain proportionality for each fee program.
It provides the long-range basis for service standards and system capacity planning without dictating near-term capital delivery timetables.
Project Implementation (10-Year Horizon)
Capital improvements are identi�ied and phased over a 10-year horizon. Ten years is the practical window to plan, fund, and deliver projects; it also produces conservative, implementable cost assumptions by focusing on projects most likely to proceed in the near term. Because development impact fees are assessed once at the time of development, aligning a 10-year delivery plan to a 30- year demand basis preserves the nexus while tying collections to achievable delivery.
If a property later converts to a different land use, it is reassessed at that time under the applicable fee program. The 30-year horizon assures the analysis captures the full facility needs of ultimate growth; the 10-year horizon ensures realistic implementation and �inancial planning.
Population & Households — Fixed Household Structure Method Population and household growth are evaluated using the Fixed Household Structure Method applied to American Community Survey (ACS) data. Household counts by residential structure type are drawn from ACS Table B25032, and population by structure type and tenure is drawn from ACS Table B25033. Because ACS reports a combined “one-unit detached or attached” population category, that population is proportionally allocated to Single-Family Detached and Multiple-Family Attached 4
Chapter 1 Introduction and Legal Framework
City of Grand Terrace 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report categories using the corresponding ACS household shares by tenure. These steps establish personsper-household (PPH) values for Single-Family Detached, Multiple-Family Attached, and Manufactured/Mobile Homes residential categories. Category-speci�ic PPH values are presented in the Demographics & Land Use chapter and applied consistently throughout the fee calculations.
Program Scoping Alignment
Project lists and eligible uses within each fee program re�lect the City’s adopted scope for this update, including that Street Improvements are limited to master plan preparation and updates for this cycle.
Other programs (e.g., General City Facilities, Public Use Facilities, and Parkland Acquisition & Park Facilities) follow the facility and cost conventions de�ined in their respective chapters.
Summary of the Structured Approach
1. Identify existing and potential development via the land use database (30-year horizon).
2. Apply demographic factors (Fixed Household Structure Method) to forecast households and population by category.
3. Determine facility demand and identify projects required to maintain service standards (10- year implementation).
4. Allocate project costs to new development via one-time impact fees, maintaining proportionality and compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act and AB-602.
This framework ensures transparency, legal compliance, and equitable cost allocation across all applicable land use types in Grand Terrace.
Nexus Methodologies: DIFs in Grand Terrace are calculated using one of three legally recognized methodologies to establish the required “reasonable relationship” between new development and the infrastructure demands it creates. Each method is selected based on the type of facility, the planning context, and the quality of available data. These methodologies align with the Impact Fee Nexus Study Template (Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley, 2023) and are designed to ful�ill the analytical requirements of AB-602.
Existing Inventory Method
Used for: Law Enforcement (County Sheriff); Parkland Acquisition & Park Facilities; Public Use Facilities (Community Centers)
Description: New development contributes its proportional share toward the value and service standard of existing facilities. The fee maintains the current level of service by scaling the existing inventory (e.g., park acres per 1,000 residents; community meeting space square feet per resident; law-enforcement space per resident/service population) to growth. 5
Chapter 1 Introduction and Legal Framework
City of Grand Terrace 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Application in Grand Terrace:
• Law Enforcement: Allocate the fair-share cost of existing substation/assigned space and related facility components that serve the City, maintaining the established space standard as population grows.
• Parks: Maintain the City’s existing parkland and park improvements standard (acres and developed improvements) as growth occurs; includes parkland acquisition and park facility improvements consistent with the current LOS.
• Public Use Facilities: Maintain the existing public meeting facilities standard (e.g., community center/meeting room square footage) so future development funds its proportional share to sustain that standard.
Planned Facility Method
Used for: Street Improvements — Master Plans only
Description: Fees are based on the cost of identi�ied future planning work needed to serve new development—here, limited to preparation and updates of master plans and related planning studies (no capital construction under this program in this cycle).
Application in Grand Terrace:
• Street Improvements: Fund circulation/transportation master planning activities necessary to program future capital needs tied to growth.
System Plan Method
Used for: General City Facilities
Description: A hybrid approach combining the value of existing facilities with the cost of planned improvements, ensuring both current and future development share proportionally in the systemwide cost of providing service.
Application in Grand Terrace:
• General City Facilities: Maintain and expand shared civic facilities (e.g., City Hall, Council Chambers, shared support areas) by apportioning costs between existing users and new growth, re�lecting both current inventory and planned improvements/renovations.
Net Impact Fee Application for Redevelopment and Expansions This study applies development impact fees to the net increase in residential units or nonresidential square footage, consistent with California case law. In Warmington Old Town Associates v. Tustin Uni�ied School District (101 Cal. App.4th 840), the court held that fees must re�lect the additional 6
Chapter 1 Introduction and Legal Framework
City of Grand Terrace 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report burden created by development, not the full replacement value of demolished structures. This report follows that precedent, applying fees only to the incremental impact generated by new development.
A more detailed explanation of this legal basis is provided in Appendix E.
Level of Service (LOS) and Nexus Justi�ication
This Nexus Study applies a Level of Service (LOS)–based methodology to de�ine the relationship between new development and the need for public infrastructure. Under AB-602 (Government Code §66016.5), LOS serves as both the planning threshold and the legal nexus, anchoring the technical basis for determining each land use’s fair share of capital improvement costs.
Establishing the Existing Level of Service: The �irst step in compliance with AB-602 is identifying the existing LOS for each fee program category. LOS is measured in terms of capacity, performance, or coverage and re�lects the level of infrastructure currently available to serve the existing community. This study uses quanti�iable service metrics — such as calls-for-service, trip generation, impervious surface runoff coef�icients, gallons per day of utility capacity, and facility square footage per capita — to de�ine the existing standard.
This approach is consistent with Government Code §66016.5(a)(2)(B), which requires jurisdictions to identify the existing level of service and evaluate the cost of maintaining that level for new development. Each facility type is evaluated against its baseline LOS standard to ensure that fee revenue is proportionally allocated to maintain service levels in response to demand generated by new development. This prevents both overbuilding and underfunding and ensures legal compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act and AB-602.
Fee Program–Speci�ic LOS Metrics
• Law Enforcement (County Sheriff): LOS is based on calls-for-service (CFS) generated by residential and nonresidential development. Facilities are scaled so that law-enforcement space and support areas keep pace with CFS growth and service-population needs. • Street Improvements: For this update, the program funds master plan preparation and updates only. LOS is maintained by ensuring the circulation/transportation planning basis (trip-end modeling, intersection/classification standards, and project programming) remains current and aligned with projected development. • General City Facilities: LOS is based on administrative/government facility space per service population (residents plus an employee equivalency factor). Space standards are applied to maintain citywide service capacity as population and employment increase. • Public Use Facilities: LOS is based on community-use/meeting space per resident, ensuring that new development funds its proportional share to sustain the established level of community-use space.
7
Chapter 1 Introduction and Legal Framework
City of Grand Terrace 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report • Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities: LOS is based on parkland acreage and improved recreational facilities per resident, ensuring that new residents fund the acquisition and development necessary to maintain the City’s park standard.
Together, these LOS metrics establish the required reasonable relationship by directly linking demand from new development to the facilities—and, where applicable in this cycle, the master planning work needed to maintain service levels. By identifying the existing standards and applying them consistently across all included infrastructure categories, the City of Grand Terrace ensures that development impact fees are equitable, transparent, and legally defensible.
AB-602 Compliance and Cost Allocation: This LOS-based approach is fully compliant with AB-602’s statutory requirements, which mandate that development impact fees:
• Are based on a clearly de�ined existing level of service; • Demonstrate a quanti�ied relationship between new development and facility need; • Apply proportional cost allocation to ensure equity;
• Maintain—rather than improve—LOS for new residents; and • Use transparent, data-driven methodologies to establish fee justi�ications.
By applying fee program-speci�ic LOS thresholds and linking them to measurable units of growth, this study ensures that new development funds only the share of capital improvements necessary to maintain existing service standards. This framework ensures both legal defensibility and �iscal fairness in accordance with Government Code §66016.5.
Considerations for Intergenerational Equity
In addition to the statutory nexus requirements, this study incorporates a proportional analysis to demonstrate the intergenerational equity principle that acknowledges the signi�icant capital investments the existing community has made to build and maintain Grand Terrace’s infrastructure.
Over time, residents and businesses have contributed to the development of public facilities through taxes, utility fees, and prior impact fees. These contributions have established the baseline levels of service re�lected in the City’s existing infrastructure network. To maintain fairness, the DIF program is structured to ensure that new development contributes a proportional share of costs to expand system capacity, rather than relying on the existing population to subsidize growth-related improvements.
Each fee program chapter in this report includes a benchmark comparison to the existing community’s �inancial investment in facilities. This comparison is used to demonstrate that the fees imposed on new development are consistent with what prior generations have paid to achieve the current level of service. While this proportional analysis is not a requirement under AB-602, it enhances transparency and helps demonstrate that the fee structure equitably balances the burden of infrastructure funding across generations.

Demographic and Land Use Assumptions
Introduction
This chapter establishes the demographic and land use assumptions that serve as the analytical foundation for Grand Terrace’s Development Impact Fee (DIF) Nexus Study. These assumptions quantify both existing conditions and the capacity for future growth, ensuring that infrastructure demands are measured against realistic development potential.
The analysis begins with Grand Terrace’s parcel-level land use database, which provides a comprehensive accounting of current development and remaining capacity under the City’s General Plan. This database captures residential, commercial, and industrial land uses, and it is designed to support proportional allocation of capital improvement costs across all development categories.
Population growth assumptions are derived from the American Community Survey (ACS) and applied through the Fixed Household Structure Method, which standardizes persons per household (PPH) values across residential categories: Single Family Detached, Multi-Family Attached and Manufactured/Mobile Homes. This framework ensures consistency with the Mitigation Fee Act and Assembly Bill 602 (AB-602), which require jurisdictions to demonstrate transparency and proportionality in impact fee calculations.
By integrating these demographic factors with Grand Terrace’s land use database, the study provides a clear, transparent basis for forecasting growth, estimating service demand, and distributing infrastructure costs. Each subsequent chapter of this report relies on the assumptions documented here to ensure that new development contributes its fair and legally defensible share of capital facility costs.
Land Use Classi�ications
Grand Terrace’s land use classi�ications form the foundation for projecting future development and allocating public facility costs in this Nexus Study. These classi�ications are grounded in the City’s General Plan Land Use Element (City of Grand Terrace, 2010) and the 6th-Cycle Housing Element (City of Grand Terrace, 2024), which de�ine residential and nonresidential designations, intensities, and development capacity.
For consistency in analysis and fee modeling, this study uses the following standardized category labels:
Residential Classi�ications
Residential development is evaluated using the Fixed Household Structure Method, with three categories applied consistently across the study:
10
Chapter 2 Demographic and Land Use Assumptions
City of Grand Terrace 2025-26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report • Single Family Detached
• Multi-Family Attached
• Manufactured/Mobile Homes
(Category-speci�ic persons-per-household values are presented in the Demographics & Land Use chapter and used throughout the fee calculations.)
Nonresidential Classi�ications
To re�lect how different uses generate facility demand, General Plan designations are standardized into three fee categories for nexus purposes:
• General Commercial Uses
• Of�ice Commercial Uses
• Industrial Uses
These standardized categories enable consistent fee-unit assignment and equitable allocation of growth-eligible project costs across Grand Terrace while aligning with the City’s adopted land use framework.
Crosswalk of Classi�ications
To maintain transparency and ensure that local land use designations are clearly tied to standardized Nexus Study categories, this study includes a crosswalk table (Appendix B). The crosswalk pairs each General Plan designation with its corresponding study category, clearly identifying how residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, and lodging uses are treated in the analysis. This appendix also documents land uses excluded from the fee program, such as agriculture and permanent open space, consistent with nexus requirements.
Summary of Existing and Potential Development
The table below summarizes both existing development and future potential for each land use type.
These �igures are based on data supplied by City staff and compiled by RCS through analysis of land use designations, zoning, and parcel-level conditions.
This comprehensive accounting of existing and future development serves as the base denominator in cost distribution for impact fee calculations, ensuring that each land use contributes proportionally to the capital infrastructure required to support anticipated growth.

To ensure compliance with Assembly Bill 602 (AB-602) mandates for data transparency and defensible methodologies, the following principles guide the land use and demographic analysis in this study:
• Existing and Potential Development: All data has been compiled at the parcel level through Grand Terrace’s land use database, compiled and created by City staff, and reconciled with the City’s General Plan Land Use Element and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)–certi�ied Housing Element. This ensures accurate accounting of both existing conditions and realistic development opportunities under current entitlements and land use policies.
• Capacity Forecasts: Derived from the City staff-compiled land use database, which re�lects the City’s General Plan Land Use Element and 6th-Cycle Housing Element. Unit yields use adopted density standards and are adjusted to re�lect feasible buildout potential over the study horizon.
• Nonresidential Floor Area: Nonresidential �loor area is measured in square feet, based on the land use database. This format aligns commercial and industrial uses with how the City entitles and tracks development.
Demographic Characteristics: Persons per household (PPH) assumptions are derived using the Fixed Household Structure Method, based on American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates (Tables B25032 and B25033). This method applies standardized PPH factors separately for Single Family Detached, Multi-Family Attached, and Manufactured/Mobile Homes, ensuring proportionality and consistency with Assembly Bill 602 (AB-602).
While demographic characteristics such as population and PPH are best derived from ACS data, unit counts and land use inventories for Grand Terrace’s impact-fee modeling rely primarily on local planning documents—the General Plan Land Use Element and the 6th-Cycle Housing Element to ensure jurisdiction-speci�ic accuracy and reliability.
12
Chapter 2 Demographic and Land Use Assumptions
City of Grand Terrace 2025-26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Persons per Household (PPH) Assumptions
This section establishes the methodology for determining persons per household (PPH) by housing type to project population growth from new development and to ensure proportional fee allocation consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code §§66000–66025) and Assembly Bill 602 (AB-602). PPH assumptions rely on public demographic data integrated with local land use information and are reconciled to the City of Grand Terrace’s Housing Element to provide a transparent and defensible basis for calculations.
Methodology
PPH assumptions are derived using the Fixed Household Structure Method, which standardizes demographic factors across three categories:
• Single Family Detached
• Multi-Family Attached
• Manufactured/Mobile Home
The Fixed Household Structure Method uses American Community Survey (ACS) �ive-year estimates to determine average household size by structure type, pools owner-occupied and renter-occupied households, and reconciles the combined results against Grand Terrace’s locally adopted planning documents. This approach ensures that population-based fee calculations align with the City’s growth forecasts and the standards of AB-602.
Data Sources
The following data sources provide the foundation for Grand Terrace’s PPH assumptions:
• United States Census Bureau, American Community Survey (ACS) 2019–2023 �ive-year estimates, Tables B25032 and B25033, providing structure-type household counts and structure-type population totals.
• City of Grand Terrace Land Use Database, providing parcel-based unit counts to apply raw PPH values and ensure internal consistency across infrastructure chapters.
PPH Results by Housing Type
Application of the Fixed Household Structure Method to Grand Terrace’s ACS data yields the following results:
• Single Family Detached: 3.12 persons per household
• Multi-Family Attached: 2.32 persons per household
• Manufactured/Mobile Homes: 2.83 persons per household These assumptions are used consistently throughout this study to project population growth attributable to new residential development and to allocate capital facility costs proportionally. 13

Methodology Summary
This chapter establishes the demographic and land use framework used throughout the City of Grand Terrace Development Impact Fee Nexus Study. The following methodological steps ensure that the analysis is transparent, consistent with statutory requirements, and tailored to Grand Terrace’s planning context:
• Land Use Database: A parcel-level database of existing and potential development compiled by City staff, re�lecting the City’s General Plan Land Use Element and the 6thCycle Housing Element. • Land Use Classi�ications: General Plan designations are consolidated into standardized categories for fee analysis:
Residential: Single Family Detached, Multi-Family Attached, Manufactured/Mobile Homes
Nonresidential: General Commercial, Office Commercial, and Industrial • Demographic Assumptions: Persons per household are calculated using the Fixed Household Structure Method (ACS 2019–2023; Tables B25032 and B25033) for the three residential categories above. Category-speci�ic PPH values are presented in the Demographics & Land Use chapter and are applied consistently across all fee programs.
• Population Forecasting: Potential units in each residential category were multiplied by their respective PPH factors to generate raw population forecasts. These forecasts serve as the demand denominator for allocating infrastructure costs proportionally to new residential growth.
14
Chapter 2 Demographic and Land Use Assumptions
City of Grand Terrace 2025-26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report • Nonresidential Forecasting: Growth in General Commercial, Of�ice Commercial, and Industrial Uses is measured in square feet, consistent with permitting practice and fee conventions.
By integrating local land use data with standardized demographic assumptions, this methodology ensures that new development in Grand Terrace contributes its fair share of infrastructure costs, in full compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act and AB-602.
Summary of Findings
To ensure transparency and defensibility consistent with AB-602, this section summarizes how the study identi�ies capital requirements at General Plan buildout, determines the share attributable to new development, distinguishes the portion not eligible for development impact fee (DIF) �inancing, and presents the recommended fee schedules by land use. Values and schedules are derived from the City’s inventories, capital needs, and calculations documented in this report. • Land Use Database (LUDB): The database re�lects existing development and realistic potential under adopted City policies. Residential inventory is expressed in dwelling units and nonresidential inventory in building square feet. Persons-per-household (PPH) are derived using the Fixed Household Structure Method from ACS 5-year data and applied by residential category (Single Family Detached, Multi-Family Attached, Manufactured/Mobile Homes). The LUDB provides the demand basis for allocating growth-related capital costs across land uses. • Measurement Units: Unless expressly noted otherwise, residential fees are assessed per residential square foot and nonresidential fees are assessed per square foot. • Local Counts vs. ACS: Local administrative counts establish land use quantities (dwelling units and square feet). ACS data are used only for demographic ratios (PPH by residential category) under the Fixed Household Structure Method. This preserves jurisdiction-speci�ic accuracy while maintaining demographic consistency.
• Program Scope Alignment: Fee programs are structured to maintain consistent, citywide levels of service while aligning with statutory requirements and the City’s adopted policy framework. Within this study, Law Enforcement (County Sheriff), Street Improvements, General City Facilities, Public Use Facilities (Community Centers), and Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities are treated as citywide programs whose costs are allocated across standardized land use categories. Street Improvements is structured as a planning-only program in this update cycle, funding circulation and street master planning, traf�ic analyses, and related program-level activities that guide future capital investments. Law Enforcement, General City Facilities, Public Use Facilities, and Parks are structured using level-of-service (LOS)–based methods that relate facility capacity and service standards to the City’s population and employment forecasts. Fees across all programs are presented on a per square foot basis by land use, consistent with Assembly Bill 602 (AB-602) and the City’s adopted nexus methodology.

Chapter 2 Demographic and Land Use Assumptions
City of Grand Terrace 2025-26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report • Data Integrity & Reproducibility: The study standardizes land use labels and documents the equations used to convert residential programs to service population (PPH × dwelling units).
A uniform units convention is applied (residential and nonresidential per square foot).
Numerical presentation follows the project’s rounding policy (whole dollars for currency; integers for counts). These practices make inputs and conversions transparent, repeatable, and defensible for nexus purposes.
The detailed fee schedules by land use type and the associated capital requirements appear in subsequent chapters and tables of this report.
Capital Improvement Program, Total Requirements and Funding Allocation The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) compiles a single, citywide set of facility needs over the planning window and organizes them by fee program in this study’s scope: Law Enforcement (County Sheriff); Street Improvements; General City Facilities; Public Use Facilities; and Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities. For each program, total requirements include fee-relevant capital projects and, where applicable, the value of existing assets necessary to maintain the established level of service.
Where a program is being re-established or modernized in this update, the analysis explicitly documents how legacy fee components and project lists are being brought into a single, updated framework. For Street Improvements, the study consolidates the former Arterial Improvement, Traf�ic Signal Improvement, and Operational Improvement fees into a uni�ied Street Improvements Impact Fee focused on planning-level work. In this update cycle, Street Improvements requirements are limited to master plan preparation and updates consistent with the City’s direction, with future construction projects to be identi�ied and programmed through those planning efforts.
Funding allocation proceeds in three steps:
1. Remove non-development funding �irst. Subtract grants, restricted revenues, external contributions, and other non-fee sources identi�ied for each project/program.
2. Determine the growth share under the applicable nexus method. o Existing Inventory Method (e.g., Parks; Public Use Facilities; applicable Law Enforcement components): allocate the cost of sustaining the current level of service to new development proportionally.
o System Plan Method (e.g., General City Facilities): combine existing inventory value with planned improvements so existing and future development share proportionally. o Planned Facility (Master Plan) Method (Streets this cycle): allocate the cost of master plan preparation and updates tied to growth.
3. Carry forward the fee-eligible remainder. Distribute the fee-eligible share to land uses using the demand factors established in this study (e.g., persons-per-household, service population, or nonresidential square footage, as applicable).

Law Enforcement Facilities
Purpose and Scope
Purpose: The purpose of the Law Enforcement (County Sheriff) Facilities Fee is to ensure that new development funds its proportional share of the facility space required to maintain the City of Grand Terrace’s existing level of contracted law enforcement service. The City contracts with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department for sworn staf�ing and operations; however, the City is responsible for providing and expanding the building space necessary to accommodate the deputies and support personnel assigned to Grand Terrace. Fee revenues are therefore limited strictly to capital improvements to City-owned facilities—such as expansion or recon�iguration of the Sheriff substation space, associated support rooms, and required tenant improvements. Fees may not be used for staf�ing, equipment, vehicles, or operational costs, which remain the responsibility of the County under the contract. By funding only the growth-related expansion of City-owned law enforcement facility space, the fee ensures that Grand Terrace maintains its current level of service as residential and nonresidential development increases calls-for-service.
Scope of Improvements: The Law Enforcement Facilities Fee will fund the capital building space required to support additional sworn of�icers and staff assigned to Grand Terrace as growth occurs.
Because the City contracts with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department for staf�ing and operations, and owns only the facility space, eligible improvements are limited to City-owned law enforcement facilities and related tenant improvements. Fee revenues may not be used for personnel costs, equipment, vehicles, or day-to-day operations.
Speci�ically, the program will support:
• Sheriff Substation and Support Space Expansion — construction, expansion, or recon�iguration of City-owned station and substation areas, including of�ices, report-writing and interview rooms, brie�ing space, evidence processing and storage areas, lockers, and other support rooms necessary to accommodate growth-related staf�ing. • Common Areas and Building Systems — shared circulation, secure entries, lobbies, restrooms, building core systems, and other �ixed improvements that are integral to housing law enforcement personnel and maintaining the City’s established level of service. • Site and Tenant Improvements — site work and tenant improvements required to place additional law enforcement facility space into service, including utility extensions, secure parking improvements, accessibility upgrades, and �ixed security features that are part of the building.
These improvements are directly tied to growth and represent the City-owned facilities necessary to sustain Grand Terrace’s existing level of contracted law enforcement service as new development occurs. Expenditures from the Law Enforcement Facilities Fee are restricted to these capital facility categories and may not be used for personnel salaries, equipment or vehicles, ongoing operations, or like-for-like replacement of existing capacity that does not increase usable facility space. 19
Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Scope of Bene�iciaries: All residents and businesses within the City of Grand Terrace bene�it from effective law enforcement services. Law enforcement facilities support patrol, investigations, and other public safety functions that safeguard people, property, and quality of life citywide. As new residential and nonresidential development occurs, it generates additional calls-for-service and increases demand on both law enforcement staf�ing and the City-owned facility space that houses and supports those personnel. Without expansion of that facility space, growth-related demand would erode the current level of service for both new development and the existing community.
Existing residents and businesses have already contributed to Grand Terrace’s law enforcement facilities through prior public investments. The Law Enforcement Facilities Fee ensures that new development funds its proportional share of the capital improvements required to expand Cityowned law enforcement building space, so that the existing level of service is preserved while extending equivalent facility-based service to new development.
Scope of Nexus: The Law Enforcement Facilities Fee is based on the direct relationship between new development, the calls-for-service that it generates, and the City-owned law enforcement facility space required to accommodate that demand. As new residential units and nonresidential �loor area are developed in Grand Terrace, they generate additional calls-for-service, which increases the workload on law enforcement personnel serving the City and the demand on the building space that houses and supports those personnel. Maintaining the existing level of service requires that this growth be matched with proportional increases in City-owned facility capacity so that staff can be accommodated without diluting service to existing development.
Calls-for-service are used as the measure of demand because they provide a transparent and quanti�iable link between land use types and the level of law enforcement service required. Callgeneration rates by land use are applied to the City’s growth forecasts to project the increase in future service demand attributable to new development. This growth-related demand is then translated into the incremental law enforcement facility space needed to maintain the existing level of service.
Because neither the City nor its law enforcement provider was able to provide a complete, land–use– coded calls-for-service history for Grand Terrace, the study applies benchmark call-generation rates developed from multiple comparable California cities where RCS has completed similar law enforcement nexus studies. Those benchmark datasets include only calls that could be attributed to fee-bearing land uses in those jurisdictions and were normalized for population, land use mix, and service model. Applying these standardized benchmarks to Grand Terrace’s adopted land use and growth assumptions provides a reasonable and conservative proxy for local call behavior in the absence of complete City-speci�ic data, while preserving a clear nexus between development and facility demand.
By apportioning the cost of new City-owned law enforcement facility space in direct proportion to growth-related calls-for-service, the Law Enforcement Facilities Fee ensures that each type of development funds only its fair share of the capital facilities needed to serve it. 20

Existing System
Background: The City of Grand Terrace provides local law enforcement through a contract with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department rather than operating its own municipal police department. Grand Terrace incorporated as a city in 1978 and is served by the Sheriff’s Central Station, the department’s longest-standing patrol division, which also provides contract law enforcement to other nearby communities. The contract model delivers full-service patrol, traf�ic enforcement, investigations, and related public safety functions for the community, while the City remains responsible for providing and maintaining the facility space that houses assigned personnel.
Public descriptions of Grand Terrace emphasize its reputation as a safe community with one of the lowest crime rates in the area, re�lecting the combined impact of local policing, community programs, and the City’s small-town setting. Further details on the City-owned law enforcement facility space and the existing level of service appear in the following Assets and Infrastructure and Level of Service subsections.
Assets and Infrastructure: The City of Grand Terrace’s law enforcement facilities consist of Cityowned building space that houses the personnel assigned to serve the community. Law enforcement operations are accommodated within Grand Terrace City Hall, located at 22795 Barton Road, Grand Terrace, CA 92313, where the City dedicates approximately 2,240 square feet of interior space for Sheriff’s station functions. This space provides of�ices and work areas for patrol and support staff, report preparation, storage, and other essential functions that enable day-to-day law enforcement service at the City’s established level of service.
21
Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Under the City’s contract model, vehicles, equipment, and other operational resources are provided and managed by the law enforcement provider rather than owned directly by the City. As a result, the capital infrastructure relevant for this fee program is limited to the City-owned building space and related tenant improvements that house law enforcement personnel. This existing facility space forms the basis for the level-of-service analysis and the sizing of future building capacity needed to serve growth.
Existing Financial Commitment: The value of Grand Terrace’s current law enforcement facilities can be expressed in terms of the replacement cost of the City-owned building space that houses law enforcement personnel. As noted above, the City dedicates approximately 2,240 square feet of City Hall for law enforcement use. Applying the Public Safety Building Model construction cost of $530 per square foot in 2025 dollars results in an estimated replacement value of $1,187,200 for this space (2,240 square feet × $530 per square foot). The Public Safety Building Model provides the standardized construction cost basis for public safety facilities and is documented in Appendix G (Public Safety Building Model) for this study.
This planning-level replacement value represents the equity in law enforcement facility capacity that has been funded by existing residents and businesses through past taxes, assessments, and other local revenues. It does not include a separate land component because the law enforcement space is housed within the existing City Hall site, nor does it include vehicles or of�icer equipment, which are provided and managed by the law enforcement provider under the City’s contract. Calculations are performed at full precision in the model; values are displayed to whole dollars for publication.
Although the Sheriff’s workspace is housed within City Hall, law-enforcement functions require enhanced security, structural, and mechanical systems that exceed general civic of�ice standards.
Accordingly, the Public Safety Building Model is used as the construction-cost basis for valuing both existing and future law enforcement facility space, consistent with Mitigation Fee Act requirements to use the cost of the actual facility type required to serve development.
Level of Service: The City of Grand Terrace’s existing level of service for law enforcement facilities is measured by the relationship between calls-for-service generated by development and the Cityowned building space that houses law enforcement personnel. Under the City’s contract model, sworn staf�ing, vehicles, and equipment are provided and managed by the law enforcement provider, while Grand Terrace is responsible for supplying and maintaining the facility space needed to support those personnel.
The City currently dedicates approximately 2,240 square feet within City Hall to law enforcement functions. This space accommodates day-to-day operations for the personnel assigned to Grand Terrace and represents the facility capacity that supports the community’s existing level of service.
For nexus purposes, this 2,240 square feet of City-owned law enforcement space is treated as the baseline facility standard for the community.
Because neither the City nor its law enforcement provider was able to furnish a complete, land–use– coded calls-for-service history for Grand Terrace, the workload side of the level-of-service framework is based on benchmark calls-for-service generation rates developed from comparable California cities where detailed datasets were available. Those benchmarks, applied to Grand Terrace’s adopted land 22
Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report use and growth assumptions, de�ine the growth-related calls-for-service that must be accommodated over the planning horizon. The Law Enforcement Facilities Fee is structured so that new development funds the expansion of City-owned facility space necessary to house the staf�ing implied by that benchmark demand, thereby maintaining today’s level of service for both existing and new development while limiting the program strictly to buildings and �ixed improvements the City owns.
Growth and Demand
Growth Inputs: Growth inputs represent the development capacity identi�ied in the City’s adopted land use database. Residential capacity is measured in dwelling units, and nonresidential capacity is measured in square feet of building area. These inputs provide the foundation for estimating future calls-for-service by assigning benchmark call-generation rates to each land use category. Applying those rates to the City’s projected development yields the growth-related workload that must be accommodated within the City-owned law enforcement facility system. This ensures that the demand attributed to new development is allocated proportionally across land uses for purposes of the nexus analysis.
Method: The nexus analysis relies on calls-for-service as the measure of law enforcement demand.
Calls-for-service provide a transparent and quanti�iable way to link land use types to law enforcement workload and to project the additional facility demand created by new development. Because Grand Terrace and its law enforcement provider were unable to provide a complete, land–use–coded callsfor-service history, the analysis applies benchmark call-generation rates developed from multiple comparable California cities where detailed calls-for-service datasets were available. These benchmark rates include only calls that could be attributed to fee-bearing land use categories in those jurisdictions and were normalized for differences in population, land use mix, and contract law enforcement structure.
The benchmark call-generation rates are applied to the City’s adopted land use database to estimate the ongoing calls-for-service expected from each land use category. For residential development, rates are expressed on a per-dwelling-unit basis. For nonresidential development, rates are expressed per 1,000 square feet (KSF) of building area; inventories are maintained in square feet (SF) and converted to KSF by dividing SF by 1,000 when applying the rates. This ensures consistency with the adopted fee units, which are presented in dollars per square foot.
By applying the benchmark call-generation rates to Grand Terrace’s projected growth in dwelling units and nonresidential building area, the analysis estimates the incremental calls-for-service attributable to new development. These projected growth-related calls-for-service establish the demand that new development places on City-owned law enforcement facility space and form the basis for sizing the additional facility capacity needed to maintain the City’s existing level of service as growth occurs. The results of this calculation are presented in Table 3-2, Growth-Related Calls-forService, which shows the projected calls-for-service by land use category using this benchmark-based methodology.

Note: For nonresidential categories, calls-for-service generation rates are expressed per 1,000 square feet (KSF); quantities are shown in total square feet (SF). Adopted fee schedules are presented in dollars per square foot.
Resulting Service Demand: Application of benchmark call-generation rates to the City’s projected growth in residential and nonresidential development results in approximately 12,720 additional calls-for-service per year at buildout. These growth-related calls are the additional workload expected from new development identi�ied in the land use database. When added to the benchmark estimate of today’s land use–assignable calls-for-service (about 11,326 per year), total calls attributable to development at buildout are on the order of 24,046 per year. This represents an increase in demand of approximately 112% over the current benchmark workload.
To preserve the City’s established level of service, the facility system must be expanded so that Cityowned law enforcement building space remains adequate to house and support the personnel needed to handle this higher call volume. In this study, the growth-related calls-for-service identi�ied in Table 3-2 are used to size the additional City-owned facility capacity required to maintain Grand Terrace’s existing level of service for both existing and new development, with the resulting capital program described in the following sections.
Capacity Implications: The increase of approximately 12,720 calls-for-service attributable to new development represents a substantial addition to the workload that must be supported by Grand Terrace’s City-owned law enforcement facility space. Under existing conditions, about 2,240 square feet of City Hall is dedicated to law enforcement uses to serve a benchmark estimate of roughly 11,326 land use–assignable calls-for-service per year. This relationship establishes the City’s facility-based level of service in terms of building square footage per annual calls-for-service. 24
Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Applying this facility standard to the projected 12,720 growth-related calls-for-service indicates a need for additional City-owned law enforcement building space on the order of a few thousand square feet to maintain the existing level of service at buildout. In this study, that requirement is translated into a speci�ic capital project that provides approximately 2,611 square feet of new law enforcement facility capacity. This growth-related expansion forms the basis for the Law Enforcement Facilities Fee capital program and de�ines the additional City-owned building space needed to preserve the City’s existing level of service as development occurs.
Allocation by Land Use: The cost of providing new law enforcement facilities must be distributed across land use categories in proportion to the demand they generate. Applying benchmark callgeneration rates to the City’s adopted land use database results in 12,720 growth-related calls-forservice at buildout, allocated as follows:
• Single Family Detached — 3,348 calls (26.32%)
• Multi-Family Attached — 4,398 calls (34.57%)
• Manufactured/Mobile Homes — 5 calls (0.04%)
• General Commercial — 3,562 calls (28.01%)
• Of�ice Commercial — 486 calls (3.82%)
• Industrial — 921 calls (7.24%)
This distribution shows that Multi-Family Attached, Single Family Detached, and General Commercial account for the largest shares of future law enforcement demand, with smaller contributions from Industrial, Of�ice Commercial, and Manufactured/Mobile Homes. Costs for new City-owned law enforcement facility space are apportioned in direct proportion to these call shares so that no land use is charged more than the demand it creates while maintaining the City’s established level of service.
Capacity Sizing and Capital Program: The preceding analysis indicates that growth in Grand Terrace will generate approximately 12,720 additional calls-for-service at buildout. To maintain the City’s existing facility-based level of service, this workload requires the expansion of City-owned law enforcement building space so that personnel assigned to Grand Terrace can continue to be housed and supported adequately. Applying the existing relationship between City-owned facility space and calls-for-service to the projected growth-related calls results in a need for approximately 2,611 square feet of additional law enforcement space within the City.
These requirements translate into a single, focused capital project to expand the City’s law enforcement facilities in proportion to growth. The Law Enforcement Facilities Fee program, therefore, includes one project, Police Station Expansion (Project LE-001), which provides approximately 2,611 square feet of new City-owned law enforcement building capacity at a planninglevel cost of $1,383,830 in 2025 dollars. This project forms the capital program for the fee and de�ines the additional City-owned facility space needed to preserve the City’s existing level of service as development occurs.

City of Grand Terrace 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Law Enforcement Projects
Project ID: LE-001
Project Title: Sheriff Station Space Expansion
Description: This project expands City-owned law enforcement building space to accommodate the growth-related calls-for-service generated by new development in Grand Terrace. The scope includes planning, design, permitting, and construction or recon�iguration of interior space within City Hall or another City-owned facility to increase the area dedicated to law enforcement functions. The expansion may be delivered through recon�iguration of existing City Hall space to create more ef�icient of�ice and support areas for law enforcement personnel, construction of an addition to City Hall, or construction of a comparable City-owned facility that provides equivalent law enforcement space. The project is necessary to provide the 2,611 square feet of new building capacity identi�ied in the growth analysis, ensuring that the City’s established level of service is maintained as development occurs.
Size/Scope: 2,611 square feet (growth-related building expansion) Location: To be determined
New Development Share: 100%–$1,383,830 (funded through Law Enforcement Facilities Impact Fees)
Existing Community Share: 0%–$0 (non-growth cost, funded from other sources) Total Cost: $1,383,830
Timing: 2026–2036
Cost Basis and Estimating Assumptions
RCS uses a single Public Safety Building Model (a consistent $/SF basis) to estimate law enforcement facility construction costs. Although Grand Terrace’s law enforcement space is located within City Hall, law enforcement functions require security, code-driven systems, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) intensity that exceed typical civic of�ice standards. Using one model for public-safety buildings keeps the analysis apples-to-apples and re�lects these higher requirements. For law enforcement facilities, the baseline is construction-only (no land), since projects frequently proceed as remodels, interior recon�igurations, expansions, or adaptive reuse where site control already exists; if a project requires new land, that cost can be documented separately on a case-by-case basis.
For this study, the Public Safety Building Model establishes a planning-level construction cost of $530 per square foot in 2025 dollars for law enforcement facility space. The detailed cost breakdown and supporting materials are provided in Appendix G, Public Safety Building Model. 26
Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Allocation of Project Costs
The total cost of the Law Enforcement Facilities capital program is $1,383,830, representing the growth-related law enforcement facility expansion identi�ied as Project LE-001. There is no existing Law Enforcement Facilities development impact fee fund balance available to offset this program, so the net revenue requirement is $1,383,830. To ensure fairness and proportionality, the net costs are allocated to land use categories in direct proportion to their shares of the 12,720 growth-related callsfor-service identi�ied in the growth analysis (Table 3-2). Using calls-for-service as the allocation basis ensures that each type of development funds its fair share of City-owned law enforcement facility space in accordance with the demand it creates.
Derivation of Maximum Justi�ied Fees
The maximum justi�ied Law Enforcement Facilities Fees are derived by dividing the allocated capital program costs for each land use category by the corresponding measure of new development. For residential categories, fees are expressed on a per residential square foot basis. Average dwelling unit sizes are applied to projected new units to establish total new residential �loor area, and allocated costs are divided by this �loor area to calculate the fee in dollars per square foot, consistent with the requirements of Assembly Bill 602 (AB-602).
For nonresidential categories, calls-for-service are measured on a per 1,000 square foot basis in order to estimate demand. This convention ensures consistency when applying call-generation rates to large �loor area categories. However, when fees are calculated, the allocated costs are divided by the total square footage of new �loor area, not by units of 1,000 square feet. This conversion ensures that the resulting fee schedule is stated in dollars per square foot, consistent with residential categories and AB-602 requirements.
All calculations are performed using unrounded �igures to maintain accuracy. Rounding is applied only when presenting the fee schedule for adoption. The City Council may adopt fees at or below the maximum justi�ied amounts shown.
The following table presents the allocation of project costs by land use category and the resulting maximum justi�ied fees for the Law Enforcement Facilities program. [This space left blank to fit the following table on one page.] 27

Existing Community Financial Commitment Comparison
The Mitigation Fee Act requires impact fee programs to account for existing funding so new development pays no more than its fair share. For law enforcement facilities in Grand Terrace, there is currently no dedicated Law Enforcement Facilities development impact fee fund balance to recognize in this program. Instead, the existing community’s equity is embodied in the City-owned building space within City Hall that is dedicated to law enforcement functions. As described earlier, this space totals approximately 2,240 square feet and has a planning-level replacement value of $1,187,200 in 2025 dollars based on the Public Safety Building Model construction cost.
This existing community �inancial commitment has been allocated to land use categories using the same calls-for-service–based methodology applied in the development impact fee calculation. By applying consistent measures of demand and cost allocation, the analysis allows for a direct, applesto-apples comparison between the contribution already made by the existing community and the investment required from new development to maintain the established level of service.
This consistency ensures transparency and defensibility, demonstrating that the fee program does not impose a disproportionate burden on new development but instead aligns future contributions with the standard established by the existing community. The following table presents the allocation of the existing facility replacement value by land use category and the resulting existing �inancial commitment per square foot.

Current Law Enforcement Facilities Development Impact Fees The City of Grand Terrace does not currently maintain a law enforcement facilities development impact fee program. As a result, there is no existing fee schedule in place for law enforcement facilities. The maximum justi�ied fees presented in this chapter, therefore, represent the �irst fees calculated for this purpose.
Five Findings
In accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act, the following �indings support the imposition of the Law Enforcement Facilities Impact Fee:
1. Purpose of the Fee
The purpose of the fee is to fund the expansion of City-owned law enforcement facilities necessary to maintain the City’s established level of service as new development generates additional calls-for-service. The fee ensures that growth �inances its proportional share of the building space and �ixed improvements needed to house and support law enforcement personnel serving Grand Terrace.
2. Use of the Fee
Fee revenues will be used to �inance the planning, design, permitting, construction, and expansion of City-owned law enforcement facility space, including associated tenant and site improvements that place new space into service. Eligible uses include remodels, interior recon�igurations, additions, or construction of new City-owned building space dedicated to 30
Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report law enforcement functions, as identi�ied in this study. Fee revenues will not be used for staf�ing, vehicles, of�icer equipment, or ongoing operations.
3. Relationship Between the Fee’s Use and the Type of Development New residential and nonresidential development generates additional calls-for-service, which increase the workload on law enforcement personnel serving Grand Terrace and the demand on City-owned facility space that houses and supports those personnel. Fee revenues will be used to expand law enforcement facility capacity so that the building system can continue to support this higher demand at the City’s established level of service.
4. Relationship Between the Need for Facilities and the Type of Development The need for expanded law enforcement facilities arises directly from the calls-for-service generated by new development in each land use category. By using calls-for-service as the measure of demand and applying benchmark call-generation rates to the City’s adopted land use database, the study identi�ies the growth-related calls-for-service attributable to each land use. The additional law enforcement facility space funded by the fee is sized to accommodate this growth-related demand, ensuring that each land use category contributes in proportion to the need it creates.
5. Relationship Between the Amount of the Fee and the Cost Attributable to Development
The amount of the fee is calculated by dividing each land use category’s allocated share of the $1,383,830 law enforcement facilities capital program by its measure of new development, resulting in a fee stated in dollars per square foot. This allocation is based on each category’s share of growth-related calls-for-service, ensuring that no land use is charged more than its proportional share of the cost of City-owned law enforcement facility space needed to serve growth.
Implementation and Compliance Notes
Adoption and Program Structure: The City will adopt the Law Enforcement Facilities development impact fee (DIF) by Council action after adopting the supporting nexus study. The City will be responsible for imposing, collecting, and administering the fee. Revenues are restricted to eligible law enforcement facilities and improvements identi�ied in this study, including expansion, remodel, or construction of City-owned building space used for law enforcement functions and associated tenant and site improvements that place additional space into service.
Fund Accounting and Reporting: A separate Law Enforcement Facilities DIF fund/account will be established and maintained. All fee revenues (and interest) will be deposited into this account and expended only for the purposes identi�ied in this study. The City will publish the annual AB-1600 report (Government Code §§66000–66025) and make the �ive-year �indings for any unexpended balance (Government Code §66001(d)). Any existing fund balance will be carried forward within this 31

City of Grand Terrace 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report account and restricted to eligible, growth-related capital uses identi�ied herein. If the City cannot make the required �ive-year �indings, any remaining balances must be refunded as provided by law.
Administration and Schedule Management: Fees are due at the time of building permit issuance.
The fee schedule shall be indexed annually to an appropriate construction-cost index such as the Engineering News-Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index. The City will maintain a public, up-to-date fee schedule and post the nexus study and schedule on its website for transparency.
Use of Funds (Eligibility): Expenditures are limited to the growth-related share of projects that add law enforcement facility capacity. Eligible uses include planning, land acquisition (if needed), design, permitting, construction, remodel, interior recon�iguration, and expansion of City-owned building space dedicated to law enforcement functions, together with related �ixed improvements and security features that are part of the building. Expenditures for like-for-like replacements that do not add capacity, or for staf�ing, vehicles, equipment, or general law enforcement operating costs, are not eligible.
Program Applicability: Fees apply to net new development (additions minus removals) as de�ined in this study. The City may program Law Enforcement Facilities DIF revenues anywhere within the city where a listed project maintains the established level of service for the community.

Street Improvements
Purpose and Scope
Purpose: The purpose of this chapter is to establish and implement the City of Grand Terrace’s Street Improvements impact fee by setting maximum justi�ied fees and administrative provisions consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code § 66000 et seq.) and Assembly Bill 602 (AB-602). This update aligns the methodology and presentation with current statutory requirements and ensures the program remains defensible and auditable.
Grand Terrace’s transportation system, including its streets, intersections, signals, and access/egress facilities, serves existing residents and businesses as well as new development. Without continued investment and planning, the additional trip demand generated by growth would erode the performance of the City’s mobility network, resulting in unacceptable congestion and diminished level of service (LOS).
For this cycle, the program funds circulation planning activities (e.g., master plan preparation and updates, traf�ic studies, network modeling, and related planning/engineering) necessary to maintain mobility standards and program future capital improvements. If the City later adds eligible capital projects, the same trip-based methodology will be applied to size and allocate costs proportionally to growth.
This chapter recognizes the integrated nature of the City’s transportation network and supports an interconnected system consistent with the City’s General Plan and Circulation Element. The program is structured to balance equity between existing and future users, maintain mobility standards across the City, and ensure that growth contributes proportionally to the infrastructure planning and improvements necessary to sustain the City’s adopted LOS.
This update consolidates the prior Arterial Improvement, Traf�ic Signal Improvement, and Operational Improvement fee components into a single Street Improvements Impact Fee and provides one program framework and fund for planning and, when programmed in later cycles, eligible capacity/operations improvements.
Scope of Improvements: For this update, the Street Improvements program for the City of Grand Terrace is limited to planning activities necessary to maintain mobility standards and prepare/program future capital needs. Eligible planning uses include master plan preparation and updates, traf�ic impact and warrant studies, travel-demand modeling, corridor and complete-streets planning, intersection control evaluations, access management studies, and related engineering needed to de�ine, phase, and document future capacity and safety projects attributable to growth. The program excludes operations, routine maintenance, and stand-alone recreational amenities not functionally tied to the street network.
Before any capacity-increasing improvement is programmed for fee funding, the City will �irst complete and adopt the necessary planning documentation; the improvement will be identi�ied in an 33
Chapter 4 Street Improvements
City of Grand Terrace 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report adopted street planning document and supported by current technical analyses (including trip generation and operational or safety �indings) with clear nexus and proportionality determinations consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code § 66000 et seq.) and Assembly Bill 602 (AB602). Consistency with the General Plan will be documented through project adoption and Planning Commission review under Government Code § 65401, ensuring projects are data-driven, right-sized to growth, and defensible prior to design or construction.
If the City later adds eligible capital projects to this program, costs will be sized and allocated using the trip-based methodology described in this chapter; at a high level, potential categories may include street widenings and extensions, intersection and signal upgrades, access and egress improvements, systemwide safety and operations upgrades, sidewalks and pedestrian lighting when part of eligible corridor or intersection work, and bridges or structures where needed to maintain network connectivity.
Consistent with this consolidation, Street Improvements fee revenues will be deposited into one Street Improvement Fund, replacing the prior separate Arterial, Traf�ic Signal, and Operational fee accounts.
Scope of Bene�iciaries: The Street Improvements program provides systemwide bene�its to both existing and new development in Grand Terrace. Planning activities, and any future capacity and operations improvements such as street widenings, intersection and signal upgrades, corridor safety and operations elements, and structures necessary for connectivity, enhance the ef�iciency and safety of the City’s street network for all users.
Financial responsibility is assigned to growth because new development introduces additional trip demand that creates the need to plan and, when programmed in future cycles, construct added capacity. Existing development has already contributed to today’s system through prior public investments and previously collected impact fees. To maintain equity and proportionality under the Mitigation Fee Act and AB-602, the program allocates eligible costs to new development in proportion to the trip demand it generates, using the trip-based methodology described in this chapter.
For consistency with prior chapters, bene�iciaries are organized by the same adopted land use categories used throughout this report. The fee distribution follows those categories without restating them here, ensuring proportionality while avoiding redundancy.
Scope of Nexus: The Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code § 66000 et seq.) requires a reasonable relationship (nexus) between new development and the public facilities funded through development impact fees. For Street Improvements, this relationship is demonstrated by linking the additional vehicle trips generated by new development to the planning and, when programmed in later cycles, capacity and operations improvements needed to accommodate those trips while maintaining the City’s adopted mobility standards under Assembly Bill 602 (AB-602).
In Grand Terrace, the Street Improvements program measures this nexus by converting growth in development to trip-based demand and using that demand to size the program’s growth share. In this update, the fee funds planning activities, including master plan preparation and updates, technical analyses, and project programming, that are necessary precursors to any future capacity-increasing 34
Chapter 4 Street Improvements
City of Grand Terrace 2025–26 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report projects. As new residential and nonresidential development occurs, it generates additional trips that would otherwise contribute to congestion; the program ensures the City has the data, analysis, and adopted plans needed to identify, phase, and justify the improvements attributable to that growth.
While existing residents and businesses also bene�it from a well-planned, safe, and ef�icient street network, they have contributed to the current system through prior public investments and earlier fee programs. The fee is structured so that growth pays in proportion to the trip demand it creates, preserving equity between existing and future users.
The total program cost is divided between existing and new development based on measurable indicators of travel demand derived from the land use forecast (for planning in this cycle, and for speci�ic capital projects in future cycles). New development’s cost share is then allocated to land use categories in proportion to their relative trip generation characteristics. The detailed methodology used to quantify trip demand and to allocate costs is presented later in this chapter.
Through this structure, the Street Improvements program demonstrates the required nexus between new development and the transportation planning and improvements that serve it, ensuring fees remain proportionate, defensible, and compliant with the Mitigation Fee Act and AB-602.
Existing Facilities
Asset and Infrastructure: The City of Grand Terrace maintains a street network that provides mobility for residents, businesses, and visitors. The system consists primarily of arterials and collectors, together with signalized intersections and other intersection control devices, corridor lighting, and related safety elements. These facilities constitute the baseline network that must be sustained as the community grows.
Within the local street network, the current inventory identi�ies 2.66 miles of arterials, 11.36 miles of collectors, and 1.90 miles of other major roadways, for a combined 15.92 miles of major local streets. Intersections and traf�ic control are critical elements within this system; the inventory includes 5 fully actuated traf�ic signals, 224 simple two-way signals, 2 intersection signal improvements, and 16 arterial/collector intersections. Street operations and safety features— including signing/striping, communications/ITS, and corridor lighting—support safe operation and visibility throughout the network and are coordinated with corridor and intersection improvements to maintain functionality.
This section is limited to assets and infrastructure only; monetary values and replacement costs for the inventoried facilities are presented in the Existing Financial Commitment section that follows.
Existing Financial Commitment: Grand Terrace’s street system represents a substantial public investment made over many years by existing residents and businesses. At 2025 replacement costs, the inventoried Street Improvements assets total $325,666,387 and include arterials ($57,945,440), collectors ($133,866,240), other major roadways ($19,901,846), right-of-way ($20,520,061), intersection signal improvements ($800,000), fully actuated traf�ic signals ($5,000,000), simple twoway signals ($67,200,000), arterial/collector intersections ($16,000,000), street signs ($2,087,800), and safety light poles/lighting ($2,345,000).
