AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 24, 2026
TITLE: Second Reading & Adoption of an Ordinance adding Chapter 9.37 (Aggressive Solicitation)
PRESENTED BY: Konrad Bolowich, City Manager
RECOMMENDATION: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE, CALIFORNIA ADDING CHAPTER 9.37
(AGGRESSIVE SOLICITATION)
2030 VISION STATEMENT:
This staff report supports Goal #2: Maintain Public Safety BACKGROUND:
The City of Grand Terrace has experienced an increase of complaints from residents and businesses regarding aggressive solicitation in public areas. These complaints typically involve individuals approaching pedestrians or motorists in a manner that is perceived as intimidating, obstructive, or disruptive to the normal use of public spaces.
Examples reported to the City include individuals approaching vehicles in traffic lanes or intersections, repeated solicitation after a refusal, following pedestrians, and solicitation occurring near sensitive locations such as banks, automated teller machines (ATMs), transit stops, and retail entrances.
While solicitation itself is generally protected as expressive activity under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, courts have consistently recognized that local governments may impose reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions in order to protect public safety, maintain traffic flow, and prevent intimidation or harassment.
The proposed ordinance is intended to address aggressive forms of solicitation while preserving the constitutional rights of individuals to engage in lawful expressive activity.
DISCUSSION:
The proposed ordinance would add Chapter 9.37 – Aggressive Solicitation to the Grand Terrace Municipal Code. The chapter establishes definitions, behavioral standards, and location-based restrictions designed to prevent intimidation, obstruction, and unsafe interactions between solicitors and the public.
Key Provisions
1. Prohibition of Aggressive Solicitation
The ordinance prohibits solicitation conducted in an “aggressive manner,” which includes behaviors such as:
• Intentionally making unwanted physical contact
• Following a person while soliciting
• Continuing to solicit after a person has declined
• Blocking pedestrian or vehicular movement
• Using threatening or intimidating language or gestures These provisions focus on conduct, rather than the message or purpose of the solicitation.
2. Location-Based Restrictions
The ordinance restricts solicitation in certain locations where safety concerns or heightened vulnerability may exist, including:
• Within 25 feet of ATMs, banks, or check-cashing businesses • Within 25 feet of bus stops or transit vehicles
• Within public parking garages
• From occupants of vehicles in traffic
• On private property where the owner has requested the activity stop or has posted signage prohibiting solicitation
These restrictions are intended to address situations where solicitation can create traffic hazards, safety risks, or heightened fear of crime.
3. Constitutional Safeguards
The ordinance expressly states that it is not intended to restrict:
• Constitutionally protected free speech
• Lawful commercial activity
• Authorized business activities conducted by property owners or tenants • Emergency vehicle repair assistance
The ordinance is therefore structured as a content-neutral regulation focusing on behavior and location rather than the content of speech.
4. Enforcement
Violations of the ordinance may be prosecuted as either:
• An infraction, or
• A misdemeanor,
This is consistent with the City’s general penalty provisions and applicable sections of the California Penal Code.
This enforcement flexibility allows officers to address minor violations proportionately while preserving stronger penalties for repeated or serious violations.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS:
• The ordinance was drafted to comply with applicable constitutional standards governing solicitation and panhandling. Courts have consistently held that while solicitation is protected speech, municipalities may regulate aggressive behavior and restrict solicitation in narrowly defined locations where public safety concerns exist.
• The proposed ordinance reflects commonly adopted provisions used by many California municipalities and has been reviewed by the City Attorney for consistency with applicable law,
including California Penal Code Sections 647 and 647c.
The proposed ordinance establishes reasonable regulations intended to protect public safety, maintain access to public spaces, and reduce intimidation associated with aggressive solicitation while respecting constitutional free speech protections.
Adoption of the ordinance will provide the City with an additional tool to address complaints from residents and businesses regarding aggressive solicitation occurring in public areas.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
This action does not meet the threshold of a project under CEQA and is exempt.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with adoption of this ordinance.
CC Ord No. 375 Page 1 of 6 March 24, 2026
ORDINANCE NO. 375
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND
TERRACE ADDING CHAPTER 9.37 (AGGRESSIVE SOLICITATION) OF TITLE 9 (PUBLIC PEACE, MORALS AND WELFARE) OF THE GRAND
TERRACE MUNICIPAL CODE
WHEREAS, the City of Grand Terrace (the “City”) finds the increase in aggressive solicitation or panhandling throughout the City has become extremely disturbing and disruptive to residents and business, and has contributed to the loss of access to and enjoyment of public places, but also to an enhanced sense of fear, intimidation, and disorder; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that these concerns apply equally with respect to solicitation which obstructs, impedes or interferes with the use of streets and public areas; and
WHEREAS, aggressive solicitation may include, without limitation, approaching or following pedestrians, repetitive soliciting despite refusals, the use of abusive or profane language to cause fear and intimidation, unwanted physical contact, or the intentional blocking of pedestrian and vehicular traffic; and
WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that the presence of individuals who solicit money from persons at or near banks, automated teller machines, public transportation stations, or in public transportation vehicles is especially aggressive or otherwise troublesome because of the enhanced fear of crime in those confined environments; and
WHEREAS, motorists also find themselves confronted by persons seeking money.
Such persons may, without permission, wash a motorist’s automobile windows at traffic intersections or attempt to open car doors or locate parking spaces, despite explicit indications by drivers not to do so, with the expectation that the motorist pay the solicitor.
Such activity carries with it an implicit threat to both persons and property; and WHEREAS, the City Council is enacting this ordinance pursuant to its mandate and authority, and in such a way that is consistent with applicable and relevant law, including Sections 647 and 647c of the California Penal Code; and WHEREAS, this Ordinance constitutes a valid time, place, and/or manner restriction on solicitation by restricting aggressive solicitation or solicitation in specific locations which is known to create fear or otherwise intimidate persons in the City of Grand Terrace, and is not intended to limit any persons from exercising their Constitutional right to solicit funds, picket, protest or engage in other constitutionally protected activity.

• Identify where all cash is held and, if invested, provide information regarding the Book Value, PAR Value, Market Value, yield, and maturity:
• Book Value is the value of an asset as it is listed in the City’s balance sheet or statement of financial position. The book value of the City’s cash is the amount listed in the City’s bank statement as of September 30, 2025 and recorded in the City’s financial system. • PAR value or face value is the value listed on an invested stock or bond. Had the City invested the cash in stocks or bonds, the PAR value would be the current value of the stocks or bonds. • Market value of an investment is the amount that someone will pay for it now, or the sale price.
The investment value calculates what the investment will earn and likely will be worth in the future. Had the City invested the cash in stocks or bonds, the investment would have both a PAR value and a Market value.
• Yield describes the amount in cash (in percentage terms) in the form of interest or dividends received from an investment in stocks or bonds.
• Maturity or maturity date refers to the payment date of a financial instrument (stock, bond, certificate of deposit (CD) at which point the principal (and all remaining interest) is due to be paid.
• The attached Treasurer’s Report as of September 30th indicates book, PAR and market value of total cash and investments.
• Show that there are sufficient cash resources to make economic commitments for the next six months. One way the governing body can monitor the fiscal condition of the City is to review
the cash position. The common benchmarks to do this, is to compare the current quarter to the prior quarter and the current quarter to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. For the Treasurer’s Report of September 30, 2025, the quarter summary would be compared to June 30, 2025 and the annual summary would be compared to September 30, 2024. Information on the benefits of these two cash reporting comparison periods is provided below:
Quarterly Change in Cash Position:
This compares the cash position at the end of a quarter to the end of the prior quarter. The cyclical nature of revenues to the City versus the relatively constant nature of expenditures is shown in a quarterly comparison. An example of this would be property tax revenue of which the majority is received in December and May versus monthly labor and utility costs. Generally, the cash position tends to decrease in the first and second quarter of a fiscal year and to increase in the third and fourth quarters. One-time revenues such as bond proceeds may also be easier to highlight first in a quarterly change report.

MEETING DATE: March 24, 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: Gabriel Arguelles, Assistant Planner
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. Identify the purpose to which the fee is to be put.
2. Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it was charged.
3. Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing of incomplete improvements.
4. Designate the approximate dates on which the funding is expected to be deposited into the appropriate account or fund.
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 Report and Five-Year Findings is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), because it involves administrative financial reporting activities and does not approve, authorize, or commit the City to any specific capital improvement project or other physical change to the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. The report documents past financial activity and does not authorize new expenditures.

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.
This report also provides the findings required by Government Code Section 66001(d) for any development impact fee fund with unexpended balances held for five years or more,
City of Grand Terrace Development Impact Fee Five-Year Report for FY 2019-2024 including: (1) the purpose to which the fee is to be put; (2) the reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it was charged; (3) identification of all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing of incomplete improvements; and (4) the approximate dates on which such funding is expected to be deposited into the appropriate account or fund.
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.
The City is currently evaluating potential updates to the Storm Drain Development Impact Fee through a forthcoming nexus study. Until that process is completed, the City will continue to retain existing Storm Drain DIF balances in the restricted fund and will program expenditures consistent with applicable law and adopted findings.
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.

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.

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.

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 2026–27 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; Fire Facilities supporting services provided by the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District; Local Circulation; Regional Circulation; 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 introduces updated Law Enforcement (County Sheriff) Facilities and Fire Facilities fee components to address growth-related facility needs associated with contracted public safety services. The Law Enforcement component funds eligible City-owned facilities and capital improvements that support contracted law enforcement services provided by the County Sheriff. The Fire component funds growth-related, capacity-increasing capital improvements that support fire protection services provided within the City by the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District.
Adoption of these fee components does not create or imply the formation of independent municipal police or fire departments and does not fund operations, staffing, or routine maintenance.
The 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’s Finance Department in adherence to state law 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 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report (“Nexus Study”) is provided as "Attachment C" to this staff report, and 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-for-service 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 the following infrastructure categories: Law Enforcement (County Sheriff) Facilities; Fire Facilities supporting services provided by the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District; Local Circulation; Regional Circulation; General City Facilities; Public Use Facilities; and Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities. The Development Impact Fee Schedule is provided as "Attachment D" to this agenda staff report.
Law Enforcement (County Sheriff) Facilities Fee: This fee pays for growth-related facilities that support contracted law enforcement services provided by the County Sheriff. 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.
Fire Facilities Fee: This fee funds growth-related facilities that support fire protection services provided within the City by the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District. Eligible uses are limited to growth-related, capacity-increasing capital improvements and do not include operations, staffing, or routine maintenance, consistent with the Nexus Study. For example, if new residential development increases calls-for-service and emergency response demand, this fee helps fund facility upgrades or expansion necessary to maintain established fire service levels.
Local Circulation Fee: This fee addresses growth-related demands placed on the City’s local street system. In this update cycle, the fee supports preparation and updating of the Circulation (Street Improvements) Master Plan, consistent with City direction. Future construction projects will be identified and programmed through that planning effort once growth-related capacity improvements are clearly defined and supported by updated analysis.
Regional Circulation Fee: This component addresses growth-related participation in regional transportation improvements that serve development within the City. Funds may be used for the City’s proportionate share of regional transportation improvements identified in coordination with regional agencies, consistent with the Nexus Study and applicable agreements.
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.
Storm Drain Development Impact Fee: During preparation of the 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Nexus Study, the City evaluated the existing Storm Drain Development Impact Fee program. While the City has adopted the required five-year findings and may retain existing Storm Drain DIF balances in compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act, additional analysis is needed to clearly identify and cost growth-related, capacity-increasing storm drainage capital projects that would support continued fee collection. Accordingly, staff recommends temporarily pausing collection of the Storm Drain Development Impact Fee while a focused Storm Drain nexus study is prepared. Existing Storm Drain DIF balances will remain in the restricted fund and may only be used for eligible capacity-related capital improvements supported by adopted findings.
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 provided as "Attachment A" to this staff report 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 provided as "Attachment B" to this staff report 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.
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 update the Development Impact Fees at this time.
ATTACHMENTS:
Attachment A – Resolution Adopting the 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Nexus Study and
Updated Development Impact Fees
Attachment B – Ordinance Amending Section 4.80.010 of the Grand Terrace Municipal Code Attachment C – 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Attachment D – Exhibit A: Development Impact Fee Schedule ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Approval of the Resolution and introduction of the Ordinance is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), because the action involves the creation of a government funding mechanism and does not commit the City to any specific capital improvement project. Any future capital projects funded in whole or in part with Development Impact Fees will be evaluated for CEQA compliance on a project-specific basis.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The adoption of the resolution will increase DIF revenue and ensure full cost recovery.

RE: 2026–27 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 growthrelated facility needs associated with residential and nonresidential development. The study establishes maximum justified fees across the City’s infrastructure programs, including Law Enforcement (County Sheriff), Fire Facilities, Street Improvements (Local), Regional Circulation Improvements, General City Facilities, Public Use Facilities (Community Centers), 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 capital needs attributable to new development, and distributes those costs proportionally 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.
RCS wishes to express its appreciation to City staff whose support and responsiveness were essential to the successful completion of this study. In particular, we acknowledge:
Gabriel Arguelles
Assistant Planner
Jessica Lambarena
Development Services Coordinator
Their assistance in providing land use data, facility information, and project direction greatly contributed to the accuracy and completeness of this Nexus Study.
The Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Study is respectfully submitted for your review and consideration. RCS remains available to support the City Council, staff, and community in understanding the fee program and its role in ensuring that Grand Terrace continues to provide essential public facilities as the community grows.
Sincerely,
Gregory Brown

Executive Summary
The City of Grand Terrace has long relied on development impact fees to ensure that new development contributes its fair share toward the public facilities required to serve growth. Over time, the City established individual fee programs addressing circulation improvements, general government facilities, parkland and park improvements, public use facilities, and other infrastructure categories. These programs were created incrementally through municipal code provisions and prior nexus analyses and were historically assessed primarily on a per-dwelling-unit basis for residential development. While the framework provided an important funding source for capital improvements, it evolved over many years and did not re�lect a fully uni�ied or modernized structure consistent with current statutory requirements and planning conditions.
In recent years, several factors have made a comprehensive update necessary. State law has evolved, particularly under the Mitigation Fee Act and Assembly Bill 602 (AB-602), which require a clear and documented relationship between the impacts of new development and the facilities funded by development impact fees. Residential fees must now be presented on a per-square-foot basis, and nexus �indings must clearly demonstrate proportionality. At the same time, updated land use projections, calls-for-service data, service population measures, and transportation analysis indicate that additional facilities and infrastructure will be required to maintain the City’s established levels of service as Grand Terrace approaches buildout. Construction costs, infrastructure standards, and growth patterns have also changed signi�icantly since prior fee components were adopted.
This Nexus Study responds to these conditions by modernizing and consolidating the City’s Development Impact Fee program into a coordinated, legally compliant structure grounded in current data and measurable demand indicators. The updated program addresses Law Enforcement Facilities, Fire Facilities, Local Street Improvements, Regional Circulation Improvements, General City Facilities, Public Use Facilities, and Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities. The Capital Improvement Program identi�ied in this study totals $146,386,275 in facility and infrastructure projects. After removing $36,099,020 in costs not attributable to new development, the study identi�ies $110,287,255 in growth-related capital costs that may be allocated to future development consistent with statutory requirements.
Across all infrastructure categories, the study applies recognized nexus methodologies tailored to the type of facility involved. For each program, the analysis identi�ies the capital facilities required to maintain established service levels, removes non-fee funding sources, allocates costs between existing and future development, and distributes the remaining fee-eligible costs across land uses using measurable demand factors such as persons-per-household, service population, calls-forservice, and transportation demand indicators. All residential fees are expressed on a per-squarefoot basis consistent with AB-602, and nonresidential fees are presented per square foot of �loor area.
The resulting fee schedule establishes the maximum justi�ied development impact fees necessary to ensure that new development funds only its proportional share of growth-related capital needs.
Existing residents and businesses are not charged for facilities required to serve new growth, and
ii
new development is not required to correct existing de�iciencies. The City Council retains full discretion to adopt fees at or below the maximum justi�ied levels, to phase in changes over time, or to re�ine the program consistent with the nexus �indings documented in this report.
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 six program areas: Law Enforcement (County Sheriff), Fire Facilities, Street Improvements (Local Street Improvements and Regional Circulation), General City Facilities, Public Use Facilities (Community Centers), and Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities.
For Law Enforcement, the study establishes a fee to fund growth’s fair share of space needs associated with contracted sheriff services. Fire protection services within Grand Terrace are provided by the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District. The Fire Facilities Development Impact Fee is adopted by the City and collected within its jurisdiction on behalf of the County to fund the growthrelated share of capital �ire facilities and equipment necessary to maintain the established level of service for the Grand Terrace service area. The fee is limited to capital facilities attributable to new development and does not fund staf�ing, operations, or routine maintenance.
For Street Improvements, the study consolidates the legacy Arterial Improvement, Traf�ic Signal Improvement, and Operational Improvement components into a uni�ied Local Street Improvements Development Impact Fee and establishes a separate Regional Circulation Development Impact Fee framework. Together, these programs fund circulation planning and identi�ied capital street and regional transportation improvements sized and allocated using a trip-based methodology to ensure proportionality.
For General City Facilities, Public Use Facilities, and Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities, the study re�ines 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 (AB-602).
At present, the City assesses impact fees only on residential development. This study calculates fee schedules for both residential and nonresidential 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 updated fee schedules that ensure new development contributes its fair and proportionate share toward maintaining the City’s public facilities and infrastructure as growth occurs.

Chapter 1 Introduction and Legal Framework
City of Grand Terrace 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report 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 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. 2
Chapter 1 Introduction and Legal Framework
City of Grand Terrace 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report 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.
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 and proportional share of the cost of public facilities and infrastructure required to accommodate growth while maintaining the City’s established levels of service.
Program Categories Included in This Update
• Law Enforcement (County Sheriff): Space and related facility needs to support contracted law-enforcement services serving Grand Terrace.
• Fire Facilities: Growth-related capital �ire protection facilities required to maintain the established level of service as new development increases calls-for-service. Fire protection services are provided by the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District. The fee is adopted by the City and collected on behalf of the County to fund the proportional share of stations, apparatus, and related capital equipment serving Grand Terrace. It does not fund staf�ing, operations, maintenance, or like-for-like replacement. 3
Chapter 1 Introduction and Legal Framework
City of Grand Terrace 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report • Street Improvements (Local and Regional Circulation): Consolidation of the City’s prior Arterial Improvement, Traf�ic Signal Improvement, and Operational Improvement components into a Local Street Improvements Development Impact Fee and a separate Regional Circulation Development Impact Fee. These programs fund circulation planning and identi�ied capital street and regional transportation improvements allocated using a tripbased methodology to ensure proportionality between existing and new development. • 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 serving residents.
• Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities: Acquisition of parkland and development and improvement of neighborhood and community parks necessary to maintain the City’s park standards as growth occurs.
The scope of this program is citywide, applying to all new residential and nonresidential development within Grand Terrace. Fees are structured to fund only the capital facilities attributable to new development, consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act and Assembly Bill 602 (AB-602).
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.
Fee Application
• Residential — per residential square foot
• Nonresidential — per square foot
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.
4
Chapter 1 Introduction and Legal Framework
City of Grand Terrace 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report 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.
Residential demand assumptions, including persons-per-household (PPH) by structure type, are calibrated to this same 30-year horizon to ensure internal consistency between population growth, housing unit projections, and facility demand modeling. Aligning PPH assumptions with the longrange land use database preserves proportionality across fee programs and ensures that infrastructure demand is measured against the full buildout condition.
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 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.
Law Enforcement facilities are structured to fund the growth-related share of space and related capital components necessary to maintain the established level of service for contracted sheriff services. Fire Facilities fund the growth-related share of capital facilities and equipment serving the Grand Terrace service area through the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District. Street Improvements include both circulation planning activities and identi�ied capital street and regional 5
Chapter 1 Introduction and Legal Framework
City of Grand Terrace 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report transportation improvements allocated using a trip-based methodology to ensure proportionality between existing and new development. General City Facilities, Public Use Facilities, and Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities follow the facility and cost conventions de�ined in their respective chapters and are structured to maintain established service standards as growth occurs.
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); Fire Facilities; 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.
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.
6
Chapter 1 Introduction and Legal Framework
City of Grand Terrace 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report • Fire Facilities: Maintain the established level of �ire protection service using calls-for-service as the demand metric. Growth-related calls-for-service are used to scale station, apparatus, and equipment capacity so that emergency response capability is preserved as development occurs.
• 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 (Local Street Improvements and Regional Circulation) Description: Fees are based on the cost of identi�ied future facilities and improvements required to accommodate growth-related demand. Improvements are sized using measurable systemwide demand metrics—in this case, trip-miles—and costs are allocated proportionally between existing and new development based on the extent to which projects mitigate growth-related impacts.
Planning, engineering, and capital construction activities may be included, provided that improvements are supported by adopted planning documents and technical analysis demonstrating nexus and proportionality.
Application in Grand Terrace:
• Street Improvements: Fund circulation planning activities and identi�ied local and regional capital street improvements necessary to accommodate growth. Projects are sized and allocated using a trip-based methodology to ensure proportionality between existing and new development.
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. 7
Chapter 1 Introduction and Legal Framework
City of Grand Terrace 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report 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 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. • Fire Facilities: LOS is based on verified calls-for-service attributable to fee-bearing development. Station, apparatus, and specialty equipment capacity are scaled so that emergency response capability is maintained as growth increases fire-related calls-forservice. The program preserves the established level of fire protection service and does not increase service standards.
8
Chapter 1 Introduction and Legal Framework
City of Grand Terrace 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report • Street Improvements (Local and Regional Circulation): LOS is based on systemwide travel demand measured in trip-miles attributable to residential and nonresidential development. Circulation planning and identified capital street and regional transportation improvements are allocated proportionally so that roadway capacity and operational performance are maintained as development increases travel demand. • 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.
• 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. 9
Chapter 1 Introduction and Legal Framework
City of Grand Terrace 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report 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:
12
Chapter 2 Demographic and Land Use Assumptions
City of Grand Terrace 2026-27 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 two 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.

Chapter 2 Demographic and Land Use Assumptions
City of Grand Terrace 2026-27 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. 15

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.
16
Chapter 2 Demographic and Land Use Assumptions
City of Grand Terrace 2026-27 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), Fire Facilities, Street Improvements (Local Street Improvements and Regional Circulation), 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 include both circulation planning activities and identi�ied capital street and regional transportation improvements allocated using a trip-based methodology to ensure proportionality between existing and new development. Law Enforcement, Fire Facilities, 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 projected population and employment growth. Fees across all programs are presented on a per square foot basis by land use, consistent with Assembly Bill 602 (AB602) and the City’s adopted nexus methodology. 17
Chapter 2 Demographic and Land Use Assumptions
City of Grand Terrace 2026-27 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 within this study’s scope: Law Enforcement (County Sheriff); Fire Facilities; Street Improvements (Local Street Improvements and Regional Circulation); 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 documents how legacy fee components and project lists are consolidated into an updated framework. For Street Improvements, the study consolidates the former Arterial Improvement, Traf�ic Signal Improvement, and Operational Improvement components into a uni�ied Local Street Improvements Development Impact Fee and establishes a separate Regional Circulation Development Impact Fee. In this update cycle, Street Improvements include both circulation planning activities and identi�ied capital street and regional transportation improvements allocated using a trip-based methodology to ensure proportionality between existing and new development.
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 and Fire 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 Method (e.g., Street Improvements – Local and Regional Circulation):
allocate the cost of identi�ied capital street and regional transportation improvements, and related circulation planning, sized and distributed using a tripbased methodology. 18

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).
Fee schedules are presented as follows:
• Residential — per residential square foot
• Nonresidential — per square foot
Numerical presentation follows the project’s rounding policy: whole dollars for currency and integers for counts (dwelling units and square feet). This framework ensures transparent accounting of total capital requirements, clear segregation of non-fee funding, and proportional allocation of fee-eligible costs in compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act and Assembly Bill 602 (AB-602).
Each fee program is administered in a separate account or subaccount consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act. General City Facilities and Public Use Facilities are maintained as distinct programs, Street Improvements are administered as Local and Regional components, Parks are tracked separately from Quimby subdivision obligations, and Fire Facilities revenues are collected by the City on behalf of the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District for eligible capital purposes serving the Grand Terrace service area.

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. 21
Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2026–27 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. 22

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.
23
Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2026–27 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 24
Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2026–27 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. 26
Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2026–27 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 2026–27 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. 28
Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2026–27 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.] 29

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 32
Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2026–27 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 33

Fire Facilities
Purpose and Scope
Purpose: The Fire Facilities impact fee is a new fee for the City of Grand Terrace. Its purpose is to ensure that new development pays its fair, proportionate share of the capital costs required to provide �ire protection and emergency response at the City’s established level of service.
Fire protection services in Grand Terrace are provided by the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District, which owns and operates the �ire stations, apparatus, and related capital assets serving the City. Accordingly, the Fire Facilities impact fee funds growth-related capital �ire facilities owned by the County, including �ire stations, �ire engines and other response vehicles, and major �ire�ighting and life-safety equipment. The fee does not fund operations, staf�ing, salaries and bene�its, routine maintenance, fuel, or other ongoing service costs.
The program protects existing residents and businesses from subsidizing growth by ensuring that new development funds the additional capital �ire protection capacity required to accommodate growth-related demand. The nexus for the fee is grounded in observed and anticipated calls-forservice generated by new development and the corresponding need for additional �ire facilities to maintain the established level of service. The fee is prepared and administered in accordance with the California Mitigation Fee Act, Government Code section 66000 et seq., and Assembly Bill 602.
Scope of Improvements: The Fire Facilities impact fee funds capital improvements necessary to add �ire protection capacity so the established level of service can be maintained as development occurs in the City of Grand Terrace. Because �ire protection services are provided by the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District, eligible improvements consist of growth-related, County-owned capital �ire facilities required to serve new development.
Eligible costs include planning, environmental review, land acquisition, design, permitting, construction, and related work for �ire stations, as well as �ire engines and other response vehicles and major �ire�ighting and life-safety equipment needed to support additional calls-for-service generated by growth. Where an existing facility or asset is expanded, upgraded, or replaced, only the capacity-increasing share attributable to new development is eligible for funding through the impact fee, consistent with the California Mitigation Fee Act and Assembly Bill 602.
The program does not fund staf�ing, salaries and bene�its, operations, routine maintenance, fuel, consumable items, or like-for-like replacement that does not add capacity. The Fire Facilities capital program is limited to capital assets owned and operated by the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District and is sized to accommodate growth-related demand within Grand Terrace. Based on projected growth-related calls-for-service, the capital program includes the addition of one new �ire station, one additional �ire engine, and associated capital equipment necessary to maintain the established level of service as development occurs.
35
Chapter 4 Fire Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2026-27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Scope of Bene�iciaries: Fire protection services bene�it all residents, employees, and businesses citywide by providing reliable emergency response and life-safety protection. However, new development increases calls-for-service and system demand. If this incremental demand is not addressed through the provision of additional �ire protection capacity, the effective level of service would decline for the community as a whole through increased response times, reduced coverage, and greater call concurrency.
The Fire Facilities impact fee is imposed on new development because those projects are responsible for creating the additional demand that would otherwise degrade the established level of service. Fee revenues are used to fund the growth-related share of capital �ire facilities needed to offset this impact and maintain existing service levels for the community.
Scope of the Nexus: The Fire Facilities impact fee is based on a direct relationship between new development, the additional calls-for-service it generates, and the fire protection capacity required to maintain the established level of service in the City of Grand Terrace. New development increases demand on the fire protection system through added emergency incidents. If this incremental demand is not addressed, the effective level of service would decline for the community as a whole through increased response times, reduced coverage, and greater call concurrency.
Calls-for-service are used in this chapter as the measure of demand because they directly reflect the workload placed on fire protection facilities and response resources. Existing calls-for-service establish the baseline level of service currently supported by the fire protection system. Growthrelated calls-for-service are estimated by applying adopted call-generation factors to projected new development, with residential demand measured on a per-dwelling-unit basis and nonresidential demand measured on a per-square-foot basis. Where development results in removals or reductions, the corresponding calls-for-service are deducted so that the analysis reflects net growth.
Because fire protection capacity is provided in discrete units, such as stations, engine companies, and major equipment, even incremental increases in demand can require substantial capital investment to maintain the established level of service. Accordingly, the Fire Facilities capital program is sized to provide the additional capacity needed to offset growth-related demand without remedying existing deficiencies or increasing service levels for the existing community.
Program costs are limited to the growth-related share of capital fire facilities and are allocated to development in proportion to each category’s share of anticipated calls-for-service. This approach ensures that new development pays only its fair, proportionate share of the cost required to mitigate the impacts it creates, consistent with the California Mitigation Fee Act and Assembly Bill 602.

Existing System
Assets and Infrastructure: Fire protection services for the City of Grand Terrace are supported by an existing system of fire facilities and capital assets that provide the physical capacity necessary for emergency response. The primary fire station serving the City is San Bernardino County Fire Protection District Station 23, located at 22582 City Center Court, Grand Terrace, California. Based on data supplied by the Fire Department, Station 23 contains approximately 5,390 square feet of building area on a parcel of approximately 36,590 square feet.
Station 23 functions as the base of operations for fire and emergency response serving the City and includes apparatus bays, crew support and living areas, communications connectivity, and building systems required to sustain continuous, 24-hour operations. The existing fire protection system also includes assigned response apparatus and support equipment, including Fire Engine ME23 (Unit 18377), Fire Engine ME23R (Unit 18657), and a Station 23 generator (Unit 91223) that supports emergency power needs.
In addition to station facilities and response vehicles, the existing system includes specialty firefighting and life-safety equipment necessary to respond to a range of emergency incidents. Based on data supplied by the Fire Department, this equipment includes self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) support and maintenance systems, hazardous materials response equipment, mass casualty incident medical equipment, rope rescue and confined-space rescue equipment, extrication and urban search and rescue equipment, communications equipment including radios and dispatch consoles, and portable power and utility support equipment. 37
Chapter 4 Fire Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2026-27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Together, the fire station, response vehicles, and specialty equipment described above represent the existing physical fire protection system relied upon to respond to current calls-for-service generated by development within the City of Grand Terrace. This inventory establishes the baseline infrastructure available prior to future development and provides the foundation for evaluating whether additional fire protection capacity is required to maintain the established level of service as growth occurs. The valuation of these assets and the allocation of costs between existing development and new development are addressed in the following section.
Existing Financial Commitment: The existing community financial commitment to fire protection serving the City of Grand Terrace is represented by the replacement value of the fire protection facilities and capital assets currently supporting service. These assets establish the baseline level of fire protection capacity available prior to future development and reflect the community’s existing investment in the fire protection system.
Based on data supplied by the Fire Department, the existing fire protection system serving the City includes the fire station facility, assigned response vehicles, and specialty firefighting and life-safety equipment. The replacement value of the existing fire station is $9,484,017. The replacement value of assigned response vehicles is $1,923,489, and the replacement value of specialty firefighting and life-safety equipment is $142,197. Together, these assets represent a total existing system value of $11,549,703, as documented in Table 4-4.
This existing system value represents the community’s equity in the Fire Facilities system and is used in this chapter to establish the existing level of service. For benchmarking and allocation purposes, the existing system value is distributed across land uses in proportion to verified calls-for-service, consistent with the methodology described earlier in this chapter. There is no Fire Facilities fund balance.
The Fire Facilities impact fee is structured to ensure proportionality by charging new development only for the cost of additional capital fire facilities required to accommodate growth-related demand.
New development is not charged for the replacement of existing assets or for the community’s existing financial commitment reflected in the current fire protection system.
Level of Service: The level of fire protection service provided to the City of Grand Terrace is measured using calls-for-service, which reflect the workload placed on fire protection facilities and response resources. Calls-for-service are used in this chapter as the level-of-service metric because they directly capture demand generated by development and the capacity required to maintain emergency response readiness.
For calendar year 2024, data supplied by the Fire Department identifies 1,630 verified calls-forservice attributable to development within the City. This total does not represent all fire and emergency incidents occurring citywide. Instead, it reflects only those calls that can be reasonably attributed to existing fee-bearing land uses evaluated in this Nexus Study and is intended to measure the demand created by development, rather than generalized public safety activity. Calls occurring in locations such as roadways and intersections, vacant land, public parks and open space, government-owned facilities, rights-of-way, and similar non–fee-bearing locations are excluded 38
Chapter 4 Fire Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2026-27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report because those locations are not subject to the Fire Facilities impact fee and therefore cannot be used to establish development-related demand for impact fee analysis.
The existing fire protection system, including the fire station serving the City, assigned response vehicles, and specialty firefighting and life-safety equipment, currently supports this level of demand and establishes the baseline level of service against which future growth-related demand is evaluated. This baseline is used to determine the additional fire protection capacity required to accommodate new development without degrading service for the existing community.
Growth and Demand
Growth Inputs: Growth inputs re�lect net new development over the General Plan horizon and account for both additions and removals where applicable. For this chapter, the City’s growth dataset expresses residential development in dwelling units and nonresidential development in square feet.
The adopted call-generation rates are applied to these quantities to estimate anticipated calls-forservice by land use.
Where development results in removals, the analysis treats those changes symmetrically with additions. For example, planned reductions in Retail and Service Uses are shown as negative squarefootage inputs, and the same call-generation rates are applied so that the associated calls-for-service are subtracted. This approach ensures that growth-related demand is measured on a net basis and that reductions in development appropriately offset new demand where they occur. All additions and removals are shown transparently in the growth tables.
The resulting net calls-for-service by land use are used as the growth inputs for sizing Fire Facilities capacity in the subsequent subsection. Consistent with Assembly Bill 602, resulting impact fees are ultimately expressed on a per-square-foot basis for residential and nonresidential development.
Method: This analysis establishes call-generation rates based on veri�ied calls-for-service attributable to existing fee-bearing land uses within the City of Grand Terrace and applies those rates to projected development to estimate anticipated calls-for-service by land use. Calls-for-service are used as the demand metric because they directly re�lect the workload placed on �ire protection facilities and response resources.
Call-generation rates represent the average frequency with which existing development generates �ire and emergency service demand. Rates are calculated by allocating veri�ied calls-for-service to the land use categories used in this Nexus Study and dividing those calls by the corresponding amount of existing development in each category. Residential rates are expressed on a per-dwelling-unit basis, re�lecting the discrete nature of residential development, while nonresidential rates are expressed per 1,000 square feet to normalize demand across differing building sizes and intensities. Only incidents attributable to fee-bearing land uses are used to establish these rates.
The resulting call-generation rates re�lect observed local service patterns and existing operating conditions. Applying the same rates to projected development assumes that new development will 39
Chapter 4 Fire Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2026-27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report generate demand at rates comparable to existing development, which preserves proportionality and avoids overstating growth impacts.
Applying the adopted call-generation rates to the growth inputs produces the anticipated calls-forservice by land use, summarized in Table 4-2. These anticipated calls-for-service are then used to inform the sizing of the Fire Facilities capital program.
It is important to note that the per-1,000-square-foot measure is used solely to establish nonresidential call-generation rates. All development impact fees are calculated and presented in dollars per square foot, consistent with Assembly Bill 602.

Note: For nonresidential categories, call-generation rates are expressed per 1,000 SF (KSF); quantities are shown as total SF.
Resulting Service Demand: Applying the adopted call-generation rates to the General Plan growth inputs yields 1,838 growth-related calls-for-service, as summarized in Table 4-2, Growth-related Calls-for-Service. The distribution of anticipated calls varies by land use and re�lects the scale and intensity of projected development.
Single-Family Detached development accounts for 880 calls-for-service, representing 47.88% of total growth-related demand. Multi-Family Attached development contributes 715 calls (38.90%).
Manufactured/Mobile Homes contribute 2 calls, representing 0.11% of total growth-related demand.
Together, residential development accounts for the majority of anticipated growth-related �ire service demand.

Chapter 4 Fire Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2026-27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Nonresidential development contributes the remaining share of growth-related calls. General Commercial uses generate 166 calls (9.03%), Of�ice Commercial uses generate 42 calls (2.29%), and Industrial uses generate 33 calls (1.80%).
These growth-related calls-for-service de�ine the magnitude and composition of additional �ire protection demand anticipated under the General Plan and form the basis for evaluating the �ire protection facilities and capital assets required to maintain the City’s established level of service as development occurs.
Capacity Implications: The existing �ire protection system serving the City of Grand Terrace currently supports 1,630 calls-for-service, as documented for calendar year 2024. These calls are served by a single �ire station, assigned response vehicles, and specialty �ire�ighting and life-safety equipment that together de�ine the City’s established level of service.
Applying the adopted call-generation rates to General Plan growth yields 1,838 additional calls-forservice, increasing total demand to 3,468 calls at buildout. This represents an increase of more than 110% relative to existing demand. Absent additional facilities and response capacity, this level of growth would substantially increase workload demands on the existing station and assigned apparatus and would result in a degradation of the established level of �ire protection service.
To maintain the existing level of service as development occurs, additional �ire protection capacity is required. Based on the magnitude of projected growth-related demand, the analysis indicates the need for one additional �ire station, along with one additional �ire engine and associated specialty equipment, to serve new development. This capacity expansion re�lects the scale of growth-related calls-for-service and is consistent with the County’s service delivery model and the City’s direction to ensure that growth does not reduce emergency response capability for the existing community.
The Fire Facilities capital program is therefore sized to provide the additional station, response vehicle, and equipment capacity required to accommodate growth-related demand. Costs associated with this capacity expansion are allocated to new development in proportion to its share of anticipated calls-for-service, consistent with the proportionality requirements of the California Mitigation Fee Act and Assembly Bill 602.
Allocation by Land Use: Growth-related Fire Facilities costs are allocated in proportion to each land use’s share of the 1,838 growth-related calls-for-service identi�ied in this chapter. Calls-for-service are used as the allocation metric because they directly re�lect the relative demand placed on �ire protection facilities and response resources by different land uses.
Each land use’s percentage share of anticipated growth-related calls is applied to the total growthrelated Fire Facilities program cost to determine the allocation of costs by land use. The resulting distribution of costs is summarized in Table 4-3. This allocation approach ensures that each land use category bears a share of the Fire Facilities cost that is proportional to the demand it generates, consistent with the California Mitigation Fee Act and Assembly Bill 602. 41
Chapter 4 Fire Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2026-27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Capacity Sizing, Capital Program: To maintain the current level of �ire protection service at buildout, the Fire Facilities capital program is sized to provide additional capacity necessary to accommodate growth-related demand identi�ied through the calls-for-service analysis. As documented in this chapter, projected development under the General Plan is expected to generate 1,838 additional calls-for-service, exceeding the level of demand currently supported by the existing �ire protection system.
Based on this growth-related increase in service demand, the capital program includes one new �ire station, one additional �ire engine, and associated specialty �ire�ighting and life-safety equipment required to support emergency response operations. This sizing re�lects the discrete nature of �ire protection capacity and provides suf�icient additional infrastructure to serve growth without degrading the established level of service for the existing community.
The total development-related cost of the Fire Facilities capital program is $10,826,214, which is allocated across land uses in proportion to each category’s share of growth-related calls-for-service, as summarized in Table 4-3. This capital program is limited to facilities and equipment required to serve new development and does not fund the replacement of existing assets or remedy existing de�iciencies, consistent with the California Mitigation Fee Act and Assembly Bill 602.
Fire Facilities Projects
Project ID: FD-001
Project Title: New Fire Station
Description: This project provides a new �ire station to add capacity necessary to maintain the established level of �ire protection service as new development increases calls-for-service within the City of Grand Terrace. Based on the growth analysis documented in this chapter, planned development is projected to generate 1,838 growth-related calls-for-service, exceeding the level of demand currently supported by the existing �ire protection system. To accommodate this increase without degrading the established level of service, one additional �ire station is required.
The scope of this project includes planning, environmental review, site acquisition if needed, design, permitting, and construction of a fully functional �ire station with associated site and building improvements. The new �ire station will be sized to provide operational capacity comparable to the existing station serving the City, consistent with current building codes and service requirements, and will not increase the level of service beyond that required to accommodate growth-related demand. Vehicles, apparatus, and specialty equipment are addressed through separate growthrelated projects in the Fire Facilities capital program.

Cost Basis and Estimating Assumptions
Fire station construction costs are estimated using the Public Safety Building Model applied consistently across public safety facilities to maintain comparability on a dollars-per-square-foot basis. Fire stations require specialized, code-driven building systems and higher mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) intensity than typical civic buildings, and experience shows that their all-in construction costs often exceed trends implied by general construction cost indexes. Using a common public safety building model provides a more reliable planning-level basis than index-only approaches.
For �ire station projects, construction costs are presented on a building basis, with land costs identi�ied separately where applicable and consistent with project conditions. Detailed cost assumptions, unit costs, and supporting documentation are provided in Appendix G, Public Safety Building Model.
Allocation of Project Costs
The Fire Facilities capital program totals $10,826,214 and includes one new �ire station, one new �ire engine, and associated specialty �ire�ighting and life-safety equipment required to serve growthrelated demand. Project costs are allocated across land uses in proportion to each category’s share of the 1,838 growth-related calls-for-service identi�ied in this chapter.
To calculate allocations, the growth-related calls summarized in Table 4-2 are divided by the citywide total to determine each land use’s percentage share, which is then applied to the total Fire Facilities program cost. In formula form: allocation = (category growth calls ÷ 1,838) × $10,826,214.
Costs are allocated to Single Family Detached, Multi-Family Attached, Manufactured/Mobile Homes, and the nonresidential land use categories General Commercial, Of�ice Commercial, and Industrial.
The resulting distribution is summarized in Table 4-3, Allocation of Fire Facilities Program Costs, and 44
Chapter 4 Fire Facilities
City of Grand Terrace 2026-27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report provides the cost basis used in the subsequent fee calculation. This allocation framework establishes a direct and proportional relationship between the type of development, the growth-related demand it generates for �ire protection services, and the cost of the Fire Facilities required to serve that demand.
Derivation of Maximum Justi�ied Fees
The Fire Facilities capital program totals $10,826,214 and includes one new �ire station, one new �ire engine, and associated specialty �ire�ighting and life-safety equipment required to serve growthrelated demand. To derive maximum justi�ied fee rates, the portion of the program cost allocated to each development category, as shown in Table 4-3, Allocation of Fire Facilities Program Costs, is converted to a charge per applicable unit of development consistent with Assembly Bill 602.
For residential development, fees are presented on a per-square-foot basis. Each residential land use category’s allocated cost is divided by the total new residential �loor area attributable to that category.
Total residential �loor area is calculated as the number of new units multiplied by the assumed average unit size for Single Family Detached, Multi-Family Attached, and Manufactured/Mobile Homes, respectively. This approach converts unit-based demand into a square-foot fee format while preserving the proportional relationship between development, service demand, and cost.
For nonresidential development, allocated costs are converted directly to a per-square-foot fee by dividing each category’s cost allocation by the total new nonresidential �loor area in that category.
Although nonresidential calls-for-service are measured on a per-1,000-square-foot basis for analytical purposes, all maximum justi�ied fees are expressed on a per-square-foot basis for consistency and adoption.
This methodology ensures that each development category’s fee re�lects its proportional share of growth-related �ire service demand and the corresponding cost of Fire Facilities required to serve that demand, consistent with the requirements of the California Mitigation Fee Act and Assembly Bill 602. The resulting maximum justi�ied Fire Facilities fees are presented in Table 4-5. [This space left blank to fit the following table on one page.] 45

Existing Community Financial Commitment Comparison
This section discloses the existing community’s �inancial commitment to �ire protection facilities serving the City of Grand Terrace and benchmarks that investment against current development. The City’s capital “equity” in �ire protection facilities is represented by the replacement value of the existing �ire protection system currently supporting service demand within the City.
Based on data supplied by the Fire Department, the existing system includes the �ire station serving the City, assigned response vehicles, and specialty �ire�ighting and life-safety equipment. The total replacement value of these assets is $11,549,703, which represents the community’s existing investment in Fire Facilities and the infrastructure supporting the current level of service. This value is allocated across land uses in proportion to veri�ied calendar year 2024 calls-for-service attributable to fee-bearing development within the City, totaling 1,630 calls-for-service, as described earlier in this chapter.
Table 4-4, Existing Community Financial Commitment Comparison, reports the allocation of this existing system value by land use and presents equivalent benchmarking amounts expressed on a per-square-foot basis for all land use categories. These equivalents are provided solely for context to illustrate the scale of the community’s existing investment and do not represent fee rates or alter the Fire Facilities capital program.
This comparison demonstrates that the Fire Facilities impact fee is structured to recover only the cost of new facilities and equipment required to serve growth-related demand and does not charge new development for the community’s existing �inancial commitment embodied in the current �ire protection system.
