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 (Commercial Lodging per Room).

Resulting Service Demand: Application of call generation rates to the City’s projected growth in residential and nonresidential development results in approximately 44,011 additional calls-forservice each year. Growth-related calls (44,011 per year) are the additional calls expected when the land use database is built out. Added to today’s 48,520 calls-for-service, the total land-use–assignable calls would be about 92,531 per year at buildout.

This increase represents an approximately 91% growth in demand on the City’s police system at buildout. To maintain the established level of service of 533 calls per of�icer per year, the City will need to add sworn of�icers, along with the supporting facilities, vehicles, and equipment required to accommodate the growth-related workload.

Capacity Implications: The increase of 44,011 calls-for-service attributable to new development represents a substantial addition to the City’s police workload. To maintain the existing level of service of 533 calls-for-service per of�icer per year, the City will require approximately 83 additional sworn of�icers over the planning horizon.

Each additional of�icer will require supporting building space, vehicles, and equipment. Based on the City’s current inventory, the Department provides about 587 square feet per of�icer (53,385 sq ft ÷ 91 of�icers). Applying this ratio to 83 new of�icers indicates a need for roughly 48,721 square feet of additional police building space.

14.B.

Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report To maintain vehicle deployment standards, the current �leet of 92 vehicles for 91 of�icers equates to about 1.01 vehicles per of�icer. Applying this ratio to 83 additional of�icers results in a need for approximately 84 additional vehicles. Each new of�icer will also require an assigned equipment kit, and growth will require department-wide specialty equipment scaled to staf�ing levels to ensure readiness and safety.

These capacity implications establish the foundation for the City’s law enforcement capital program.

They de�ine the staf�ing, building space, vehicle �leet, and equipment requirements needed to preserve the existing level of service as the City grows.

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. This ensures that each type of development funds only its fair share of the improvements needed to maintain the City’s established level of service. Using call-generation rates with a calendar year 2024 baseline of 48,520 calls-forservice, growth-related calls total 44,011 per year and are allocated among land uses as follows:
• Single-Family Residential — 5,820 calls (13.22%)
• Multiple-Family Residential — 5,338 calls (12.13%)
• Mobile Home Dwelling Units — 89 calls (0.20%)
• Commercial Lodging Rooms — 1,821 calls (4.14%)
• Retail, Commercial, & Service Uses — 22,270 calls (50.60%) • Industrial Uses — 7,690 calls (17.47%)
• Institutional Uses — 983 calls (2.23%)
This distribution shows that Retail, Commercial, & Service Uses account for the largest share of future law enforcement demand, while residential and other nonresidential categories contribute smaller shares. Costs for new facilities, vehicles, and equipment will be apportioned in proportion to these call shares, ensuring that no category pays more than the demand it creates.

Capacity Sizing and Capital Program: The preceding analysis indicates that growth in Hemet will require approximately 83 additional sworn of�icers, supported by 48,721 square feet of new police building space (based on the current ratio of building area per of�icer), approximately 84 additional vehicles (from the current vehicle-to-of�icer ratio), full of�icer equipment kits, and specialty technology and communications systems. These requirements translate into speci�ic capital projects needed to expand the City’s law enforcement system in proportion to growth.

Based on the Police Department’s capital needs assessment and current inventory, the following categories of improvements are necessary to serve new development: police station expansion (building space), vehicle leet additions, sworn of�icer assigned equipment, and specialty technology/equipment. Recruitment costs are not included. The details of these improvements are presented in the following section, which lists the speci�ic Police projects included in the Law Enforcement Facilities Fee program.

Cost Basis and Estimating Assumptions
RCS uses a single Public Safety Building Model (a consistent $/SF basis) to estimate police facility construction costs. Using one model for public-safety buildings keeps the analysis apples-to-apples and re�lects the higher standards typical of these facilities-code-driven systems, security 31

14.B.

Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report requirements, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) intensity that often outpace generic in�lation indexes. For police, the baseline is construction-only (no land), since stations frequently proceed as remodels, 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. The detailed cost breakdown and supporting materials are provided in Appendix G, Public Safety Building Model.

Allocation of Project Costs
The total cost of the Law Enforcement Facilities capital program is $39,922,967. An existing fund balance of $864,916 is applied to the program, reducing the net revenue requirement to $39,058,051.

To ensure fairness and proportionality, the net costs are allocated to land use categories in direct proportion to their shares of the 44,011 growth-related calls-for-service identi�ied in the growth analysis. Using calls-for-service as the allocation basis ensures each type of development funds its fair share of law enforcement facilities in accordance with the demand it creates.

Derivation of Maximum Justi�ied Fees
The maximum justi�ied fees for law enforcement facilities 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.

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. Hemet’s latest AB-1600 Development Impact Fee Report con�irms an existing Law Enforcement Facilities Impact Fee fund balance of $864,916. This balance is recognized in the fee calculation to avoid overcharging new development.

The existing community’s equity is embodied in facilities, vehicles, equipment, and prior investments already in service. The existing community’s �inancial commitment totals $38,330,598, comprising the $37,465,682 replacement value of physical assets (of�icer-assigned equipment, the vehicle �leet, specialty equipment, and building space) plus the $864,916 restricted fund balance—establishing the full baseline investment funded by existing residents and businesses and the standard against which new development’s contribution is benchmarked.

Importantly, this existing community �inancial commitment has been allocated to land use categories using the same methodology applied to the development impact fee calculation itself. By applying consistent measures of demand and cost allocation, the analysis allows for a direct, apples-to-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. 33

Current Law Enforcement Facilities Development Impact Fees The City of Hemet levies the Law Enforcement Facilities development impact fee to �inance capacityincreasing police facilities, vehicles, equipment, and related capital improvements needed to maintain the City’s established level of law enforcement service as development occurs.

The City initiated its Law Enforcement Facilities development impact fee program through adoption of prior fee ordinances, and the fee is currently collected and administered through a dedicated Law Enforcement Facilities DIF fund (Fund 331).

According to the City’s FY 2023–24 Development Impact Fee Annual Report, the Law Enforcement Facilities DIF fund (Fund 331) held a balance of $864,916 as of June 30, 2024. This amount re�lects a beginning balance of $639,570, plus $196,452 in fee revenues, $21,290 in interest earnings, and a $7,604 fair market value adjustment to the City’s investment portfolio during the �iscal year. No project expenditures, transfers, loans, or refunds were reported for the Law Enforcement Facilities DIF during FY 2023–24.

The current adopted Law Enforcement Facilities development impact fees (FY 2023–24) are $471 per Single-Family dwelling unit, $404 per Multi-Family dwelling unit, $357 per Townhome/Duplex dwelling unit, $298 per Mobile Home/Senior dwelling unit, $0.223 per square foot for Commercial/Of�ice uses, and $0.013 per square foot for Industrial uses. These legacy rates remain in effect pending adoption of the updated fee program presented in this chapter.

Five Findings

14.B.

Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report 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 police facilities, vehicles, and equipment necessary to maintain the City’s established level of service as new development generates additional calls-for-service.

2. Use of the Fee
Fee revenues will be used to �inance the construction and expansion of police station space, acquisition of additional police vehicles, purchase of of�icer equipment, and related facility improvements identi�ied in this study.

3. Relationship Between the Fee’s Use and the Type of Development New development generates additional calls-for-service, which increase the demand for police response, facilities, and equipment. Fee revenues will be used to expand capacity so that law enforcement services remain at the established standard.

4. Relationship Between the Need for Facilities and the Type of Development The need for expanded police facilities arises directly from the calls-for-service generated by new residential and nonresidential land uses. By allocating costs in proportion to calls generated, the fee ensures that each land use contributes in accordance with the demand 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’s allocated share of the $39,058,051 law enforcement facilities capital program by its measure of new development, resulting in a per square foot fee. This ensures that no land use is charged more than its proportional share of the cost of facilities 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 police station expansion, substations, remodel projects, or other building-capacity projects, as well as associated growthrelated vehicles and of�icer equipment.

Fund Accounting and Reporting: A separate Law Enforcement Facilities DIF fund/account has been established and will be maintained. All fee revenues (and interest) will continue to be deposited into this account and expended only for the purposes identi�ied in this study. The City will publish the 36

14.B.

Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report 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 account and restricted to eligible, growth-related capital uses identi�ied herein.

If the City cannot make the required �ive-year �indings, any remaining balances must be refunded as provided by law.

Administration and Schedule Management: Fees are due at the time of building permit issuance.

The fee schedule shall be indexed annually to an appropriate construction-cost index such as the Engineering News-Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index. The City will maintain a public, up-to-date fee schedule and post the nexus study and schedule on its website for transparency.

Use of Funds (Eligibility): Expenditures are limited to the growth-related share of projects that add law enforcement capacity. Eligible uses include planning, land acquisition (if needed), design, permitting, construction, remodel, and expansion of facilities; acquisition and deployment of patrol and staff vehicles; and of�icer equipment and specialty technology directly tied to growth.

Expenditures for like-for-like replacements that do not add capacity, staf�ing, operations, or general police service costs are not eligible.

Program Applicability: Fees apply to net new development (additions minus removals) as de�ined in this study. The City may program Law Enforcement Facilities DIF revenues anywhere in the city where a listed project maintains the established level of service for the community.

Chapter 4
Fire Facilities
Purpose and Scope
Purpose: The Fire Facilities Impact Fee ensures that new development in Hemet pays its fair, proportionate share of the capital costs required to maintain the City’s established level of �ire protection and emergency medical service. The fee is capital-only and may fund �ire stations, growthrelated apparatus and vehicles, and associated equipment and �it-out necessary to serve additional calls-for-service; it does not fund staf�ing, operations, or routine maintenance. The program is structured to comply with the Mitigation Fee Act and AB-602, documenting a reasonable relationship between development, service demand, and facility needs.

The nexus is grounded in calls-for-service and level-of-service metrics: as residential and nonresidential development occurs, it generates additional calls that require corresponding station capacity, �leet, and equipment to preserve the existing level of service. Growth quantities and land use categories follow the study’s demographic and land use framework to ensure proportional allocation of costs by development type.

The fee applies citywide to net new development (additions minus demolitions) across the following land use categories: Single-Family Residential, Multiple-Family Residential, Mobile Home Dwelling Units, Commercial Lodging Rooms, Retail, Commercial, & Service Uses, Industrial Uses, and Institutional Uses.

Scope of Improvements: The Fire Facilities impact fee funds capital improvements that add new station capacity or expand existing station capacity so the City can maintain its established level of service as development occurs. Eligible costs include planning, environmental review, land acquisition, design, permitting, construction, and the site and building work necessary to deliver fully functional stations. Consistent with Hemet’s service model, eligible capital costs also include growthrelated apparatus and vehicles, along with associated equipment and �it-out needed to place new or expanded station capacity into service.

Where an existing station is renovated, reconstructed, or relocated, only the capacity-increasing share attributable to growth is eligible for fee funding, consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act and AB-602.

Like-for-like replacements that do not add capacity, as well as staf�ing, operations, and routine maintenance, are not eligible uses of this fee.

The capital program will be sized to maintain the City’s established level of service at buildout, with project costs allocated in proportion to growth-related calls-for-service.

Scope of Bene�iciaries: The Fire Facilities impact fee bene�its people and property citywide by maintaining Hemet’s established level of �ire and emergency medical service as growth occurs. While reliable emergency response bene�its everyone, the fee is charged to new development because those projects create the incremental demand, measured as added calls-for-service, that requires additional station capacity and related capital.

Chapter 4 Fire Facilities
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Under Hemet’s service model, the Hemet Fire Department provides staf�ing, �leet, and operations, while the capital program �inances facilities and other growth-related capital needed to preserve the existing level of service. Accordingly, the direct bene�iciaries are developments that add demand on station capacity and growth-related apparatus and equipment; the fee is restricted to eligible capital costs and does not fund staf�ing, operations, or routine maintenance.

The fee applies to net new development across the study’s residential and nonresidential land use categories. Cost responsibility is apportioned using adopted call-generation factors—per unit for residential and per square foot for nonresidential—with demolitions or reductions recognized where applicable. The mobile home category is maintained as a distinct residential class to re�lect its observed service demand.

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 facility capacity, together with eligible growth-serving capital, required to maintain the City’s established level of service.

Table 4-1, Existing Calls-for-Service and Call-Generation Rates, lists the verified baseline calls by land use and the corresponding call-generation rates used in this chapter. The baseline reflects calendar year 2024 activity specific to incidents within the City of Hemet.

To establish those rates, the City allocates verified 2024 calls across existing land1 uses and unitizes demand. Residential call-generation rates are developed per dwelling unit. For nonresidential uses, rates are developed on a per–1,000–square-foot basis for analytical consistency; however, the published table values present call-generation rates and calls-for-service per square foot (the 1,000– square–foot conversion is already carried through in the calculations). For transparency, values shown in the tables are rounded for display, while underlying calculations use unrounded figures so totals reconcile precisely.

The same call-generation rates from Table 4-1 are then applied to the City’s growth inputs, including additions and removals where applicable, to estimate anticipated calls-for-service by land use. The resulting increase in calls defines the facility capacity and other eligible growth-related capital that must be provided through the Fire Facilities program to preserve the existing level of service.

Program costs are limited to the growth-related share of eligible capital necessary to maintain the level of service and are allocated to development in proportion to each category’s share of anticipated calls. This approach ensures that growth pays only its fair, proportionate share, does not remedy existing deficiencies, and does not raise the level of service for the existing community, consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act and AB-602. The verified 2024 baseline used for land use allocation is 11,139 calls-for-service—the subset of the Department’s total incident volume that can be attributed to identifiable, fee-paying land use categories: Single-Family Residential, Multiple-Family Residential, Mobile Home Dwelling Units, Commercial Lodging Rooms, Retail/Commercial/Service 1 Mobile home incidents are not separately identified in Hemet’s 2024 incident extract. A mobile home call-generation factor was derived from multi-city observations used by RCS. For this chapter, 2,187 calls are assigned to Mobile Home Dwelling Units. To keep the 2024 citywide total unchanged, an equal number of calls are proportionally reclassified from the residential categories—75 percent from Single-Family Residential and 25 percent from Multiple-Family Residential.

Calculations use unrounded figures; published values are rounded for display. 39

The Department’s total 2024 incident count of 19,957 includes calls at intersections, within the public right-of-way, on vacant parcels, and at certain publicly owned facilities. Because those incidents are not assignable to a defined, fee-paying land use category, they are excluded from the proportional allocation model. Publicly owned facilities, in particular, are not part of the growth allocation framework, and assigning those calls to private development would distort proportionality. The 11,139 figure carries forward to the call-generation rates in Table 4-1 and to all allocation calculations in this chapter.

Existing System
Background: The Hemet Fire Department originated in the early 1900s as a volunteer organization and, over subsequent decades, evolved into a fully staffed, all-hazards agency. Hallmarks in that evolution included the department’s first motorized apparatus in the 1910s and the transition to a fully paid professional department in the mid-1970s. The service model has continued to modernize—expanding EMS capabilities and training—while maintaining the core objective of reliable, citywide first response at the City’s established level of service.

Today, Hemet operates seven facilities: five fire stations, one training center, and one administrative building. These facilities house frontline companies, sustain 24-hour operations, and provide the 40

14.B.

Chapter 4 Fire Facilities
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report spaces needed for administration, training, and system readiness. Additional detail on facilities, fleet, and equipment appears in the following Assets and Infrastructure subsection.

Assets and Infrastructure: The City maintains a comprehensive, department-wide inventory covering facilities, frontline and support fleet, specialized equipment, and assigned uniform and gear.

This inventory establishes the baseline capital plant used to deliver fire and emergency medical service and provides the quantity and cost framework that supports this chapter’s level-of-service analysis.

Hemet operates five fire stations, one training center, and one administrative building. The five stations together total approximately 30,713 square feet, the training center totals about 1,465 square feet, and the administrative building totals about 9,641 square feet, for a combined fire facilities footprint of roughly 41,819 square feet. These buildings constitute the fixed capital that supports a 24-hour response.

The response fleet is itemized by unit type and count. The current inventory includes Type I fire engines (7 units), a Type III engine (1), tractor-drawn aerial (2), squads (2), a Type VI rapid response vehicle (1), a HazMat unit (1), Battalion Chief response vehicles (2), fire prevention vehicles (3), an EMS coordinator vehicle (1), the Fire Chief vehicle (1), a Deputy Chief vehicle (1), a stake bed (1), and support pickups and utility vehicles (6). Each entry tracks quantity and replacement planning assumptions to support capital forecasting and deployment readiness.

Specialized equipment and systems are documented at the category level sufficient to demonstrate operational readiness and to inform capital planning. Tracked items include breathing support and SCBA maintenance equipment, large-incident and MCI equipment, HazMat equipment, extrication and ventilation tools, rehabilitation equipment, communications equipment, and other specialty assets necessary for training and incident operations. Quantities and replacement values are recorded to maintain a transparent, reproducible basis for planning.

Assigned uniform and gear entries capture the standard-issue items necessary to outfit personnel, including turnout ensembles and required uniform components. These entries provide the perperson unit costs needed to link any growth-related staffing implications to corresponding gear requirements in the capital plan.

For facilities, fleet, equipment, and assigned gear, the inventory records both quantities and current planning replacement values. These values are used for disclosure, proportionality checks, and, where applicable, allocation consistent with the level-of-service methodology in this study.

Operational expenses and routine maintenance are not part of this inventory and are excluded from impact fee eligibility.

Existing Financial Commitment: The community’s existing financial commitment to fire protection is represented by the current replacement value of Hemet’s fire protection capital plant, together with the existing restricted fund balance. The total existing financial commitment is $95,916,860, comprising the following components: fire stations, $66,910,400; vehicles, $21,217,264; specialty equipment, $3,050,600; uniforms and assigned gear, $995,020; and the restricted Fire program fund balance, $3,743,576. The physical asset replacement value totals $92,173,284; the fund balance of 41

Chapter 4 Fire Facilities
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report $3,743,576 is recognized in the fee calculation to avoid double-charging new development for capacity that is already being financed through prior collections.

For benchmarking and allocation purposes in this chapter, the existing system value is recognized as the community’s equity in fire protection and is distributed across land uses in proportion to verified baseline calls-for-service for the study year. This disclosure demonstrates proportionality: new development is charged only for the growth-related share of additional capacity identified in this chapter and does not pay for the community’s existing equity. The existing fund balance is recognized in the fee calculation to avoid double-charging. Operational expenses and routine maintenance are excluded from this measure and from impact fee eligibility.

Level of Service: For calendar year 2024, the verified baseline used in this chapter is 11,139 callsfor-service attributable to the study’s fee-bearing land use categories within the City of Hemet; see the Scope of the Nexus section above for the reconciliation with the Department’s total 2024 incident volume of 19,957. Based on this baseline, five city-owned fire stations served 11,139 calls-for-service in 2024, an average workload of about 2,228 calls per station.

Table 4-1, Existing Calls-for-Service and Call-Generation Rates, lists the reconciled calls by land use and the resulting call-generation rates. Residential rates are developed per dwelling unit. For nonresidential uses, rates are developed analytically on a per–1,000–square-foot basis but are presented in the tables per square foot; rounding is applied only for display, and underlying calculations use unrounded values so totals reconcile.

This level-of-service baseline is used to size growth-related capacity needs in subsequent sections.

The analysis applies the same call-generation rates to net growth inputs (including additions and removals where applicable) to estimate anticipated calls-for-service by land use at buildout. The resulting increase in calls defines the facility capacity and other eligible growth-serving capital required to maintain the existing level of service as development occurs.

Growth and Demand
Growth Inputs: Growth inputs re�lect the quantity of new development expected over the planning horizon by land use. Residential growth is measured in dwelling units; nonresidential growth is measured in building square feet; and commercial lodging is measured in rooms. Call-generation rates from Table 4-1 are applied to these quantities to estimate anticipated calls-for-service by land use, and those calls are then used to distribute the growth-related share of identi�ied �ire projects proportionally across development categories so each pays only its fair, defensible share. For nonresidential uses, rates are developed analytically on a per–1,000–square-foot basis but are presented in the tables per square foot; the unit conversion is already carried through in the displayed values. Values shown in the tables are rounded for display, while underlying calculations use unrounded �igures so totals reconcile. The treatment of the mobile home category is documented in the Scope of the Nexus section.

Table 4-2 summarizes the growth quantities, call-generation rates, and resulting growth-related calls-for-service by land use. Percentage shares appear in Table 4-3 and, together, these tables form 42

Chapter 4 Fire Facilities
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report the basis for allocating project costs by land use and for presenting the fee schedule per square foot (Commercial Lodging per Room) consistent with AB-602.

Method: This analysis converts veri�ied 2024 Hemet incidents into call-generation rates and applies those rates to the growth quantities to estimate anticipated calls by land use. Only incidents attributable to the fee land use categories are used to establish rates. Residential rates are developed per dwelling unit; for nonresidential uses, rates are developed analytically on a per–1,000–squarefoot basis but are presented in the tables per square foot. Values shown in the tables are rounded for display, while underlying calculations use unrounded �igures so totals reconcile precisely.

Applying the rates from Table 4-1 to the City’s growth inputs produces the anticipated calls-forservice by land use summarized in Table 4-2. In Hemet, these growth-related calls are used to distribute the growth-related share of identi�ied �ire projects proportionally across development categories. The resulting fee schedule is presented in dollars per square foot for development and dollars per room for commercial lodging, consistent with AB-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 growth inputs yields a total of 5,537 growth-related calls-for-service. By category, the shares are: Single-Family Residential

44.65% (2,472 calls), Multiple-Family Residential 10.87% (602), Mobile Home Dwelling Units 0.67% (37), Commercial Lodging Rooms 4.64% (257), Retail, Commercial, & Service Uses 37.91% (2,099), 43

14.B.

Chapter 4 Fire Facilities
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Industrial Uses 1.16% (64), and Institutional Uses 0.11% (6). These totals align with the study inputs and carry forward to the allocation of costs.

Capacity Implications: Hemet’s veri�ied baseline is 11,139 calls-for-service in 2024. Applying the adopted call-generation rates to the growth inputs yields 5,537 additional calls, for a buildout total of 16,676.

Growth-related demand is led by Single-Family Residential and Retail, Commercial, & Service Uses, with additional contributions from Multiple-Family Residential and smaller shares from other land uses. This pattern re�lects the City’s expected mix of added dwelling units and new commercial �loor area.

To accommodate this increased service demand and preserve the established level of service, the Fire Department has identi�ied capital projects that add station capacity in growth corridors: relocate and expand Station 3 to a modern two-bay facility of approximately 7,367 square feet; construct Station 6 (two bays) in the southeast; construct Station 7 (three bays) to serve the west side; and construct Station 8 (two bays) in the southwest. Detailed scopes and costs for these projects are presented later in this chapter.

For fee purposes, the distribution of growth-related calls by land use shown in Table 4-2 is used to apportion the growth share of the identi�ied project costs across development categories in the allocation table that follows.

Allocation by Land Use: Growth-related costs are allocated to land uses in direct proportion to each category’s share of the 5,537 growth-related calls-for-service. The resulting distribution, derived from the call shares in Table 4-2, is: Single-Family Residential 44.65%, Retail, Commercial, & Service Uses 37.91%, Multiple-Family Residential 10.87%, Commercial Lodging Rooms 4.64%, Industrial Uses 1.16%, Mobile Home Dwelling Units 0.67%, and Institutional Uses 0.11%. For exact call counts, see Table 4-2. These percentages determine each land use’s proportional responsibility for the growth-related share of identi�ied �ire project costs, with the allocation summarized in Table 4-3.

Capacity Sizing, Capital Program: To accommodate the increase in service demand and maintain the established level of service, the Fire Department has identi�ied a capital program that includes relocating and expanding Station 3 to a modern two-bay facility of approximately 7,367 square feet; constructing Station 6 (two bays) in the southeast; constructing Station 7 (three bays) on the west side; and constructing Station 8 (two bays) in the southwest. The program also provides growthrelated �leet and equipment: Type I engines for Stations 6, 7, and 8; a squad and a water tender at Station 7; and initial PPE and specialty equipment for added personnel. After applying the existing fund balance, the development-related program cost totals $42,898,735. Project costs are allocated across land uses in direct proportion to each category’s share of the 5,537 growth-related calls-forservice shown in Table 4-2; the resulting allocation is summarized in Table 4-3.

The following project listings provide purpose and scope, approximate size and con�iguration, planning-level cost in study dollars, and implementation notes for each facility. 44

Cost Basis and Estimating Assumptions
Station construction costs are based on a planning-level estimate of $1,600 per square foot provided by the Hemet Fire Department, re�lecting the Department’s current assessment of all-in construction costs for a standard �ire station facility in the City of Hemet. This per-square-foot rate is inclusive of structure, interior build-out, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, life-safety systems, site improvements, soft costs, and contingencies appropriate to this level of planning. The estimate is consistent with comparable California public safety facility construction costs as of the study year and supersedes the earlier prototype model previously used as the basis for planning estimates. As a benchmark for reasonableness, a contemporaneous CAL FIRE station replacement project in California—the Higgins Corner Fire Station (Colusa County), based on July 2024 engineer estimates submitted with the FY 2025–26 Capital Outlay Budget Change Proposal (California Department of Finance, January 2025; available at bcp.dof.ca.gov)—carried an all-in project cost of approximately $11,129,000 excluding land acquisition. Accounting for the greater complexity of that multi-building CAL FIRE facility and the higher prevailing labor costs in Southern California, $1,600 per square foot for a standard two-bay municipal station in Hemet is a conservative and well-supported planninglevel estimate.

The $1,600 per square foot rate is applied to the station’s building square footage to determine the total planning-level project cost. Because the rate is all-in, no separate line items are added for site work, soft costs, or contingencies; those elements are embedded in the per-square-foot �igure. Station costs are stated in study-year dollars consistent with the Fire Department’s estimate. 49

14.B.

Chapter 4 Fire Facilities
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report For relocation or reconstruction, only the capacity-increasing share is included in the program; where a replacement enlarges or modernizes an existing station, the development-related cost is based on the delta between the replacement facility and the existing station. Growth-related �leet, specialty equipment, and initial issue personal protective equipment (PPE) paired with new companies are estimated using recent procurements and market benchmarks, inclusive of out�itting and taxes as appropriate.

The Fire Department’s planning-level cost basis and supporting documentation are provided in Appendix G, Public Safety Building Model.

Allocation of Project Costs
The Fire Facilities capital program totals $42,898,735 after applying the existing Fire fund balance.

Project costs are assigned to development categories in direct proportion to their shares of growthrelated calls-for-service. To establish those shares, the adopted call-generation rates from Table 4-1 are applied to the City’s net growth inputs (additions minus removals) to produce the growth-related calls shown in Table 4-2. Each category’s allocation is then calculated as its growth calls divided by the citywide total of 5,537, multiplied by the program total; in formula form: allocation = (category growth calls ÷ 5,537) × $42,898,735. Calculations use unrounded values so totals reconcile exactly; amounts may be rounded for display in the table. This method assigns costs to Single-Family Residential, Multiple-Family Residential, Mobile Home Dwelling Units, and the nonresidential categories strictly according to their growth-related demand on Fire Facilities, consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act and AB-602.

Derivation of Maximum Justi�ied Fees
The Fire Facilities capital program totals $42,898,735 after applying the existing Fire fund balance.

To derive fee rates, the program cost assigned to each development category (from Table 4-3, Allocation of Fire Facilities Program Costs) is converted to a charge per development unit of measure consistent with AB-602. For residential, fees are presented per residential square foot: the category allocation is divided by the total new residential �loor area for that category, calculated as units × assumed average unit size (Single-Family Residential, Multiple-Family Residential, and Mobile Home Dwelling Units are each converted this way). For nonresidential, fees are presented per square foot; Commercial Lodging is presented per Room.

The allocation basis is the distribution of growth-related calls-for-service shown in Table 4-2, which totals 5,537 calls for Hemet. Computations use unrounded values so totals reconcile exactly; if the City elects to round published fee rates at adoption, rounding will be applied uniformly and documented. This method links each category’s fee directly to its growth-related calls-for-service share while preserving AB-602’s presentation requirements and ensuring charges re�lect net new development. The resulting maximum justi�ied Fire Facilities fees are presented in Table 4-5. 50

Existing Community Financial Commitment Comparison
This section discloses the community’s existing investment in Fire Facilities and benchmarks it against current development. The City’s capital “equity” is the current replacement value of Hemet’s �ire protection capital plant, together with the existing restricted program fund balance. For 2025, the replacement value of the �ire protection system totals $95,916,860 (stations, vehicles, specialty equipment, and uniforms/assigned gear). That value is allocated across land uses in proportion to veri�ied calendar year 2024 calls-for-service attributable to the study’s fee land use categories within the City of Hemet (11,139 calls, reconciled as described earlier). The allocation expresses, for each land use category, the share of the system that is currently supporting today’s level of service. The existing restricted Fire program fund balance of $3,743,576 is recognized in the fee calculation to avoid double-charging.

Table 4-4, Existing Community Financial Commitment Comparison, reports the allocation amounts by land use and provides a “current �inancial commitment” equivalent for context—per unit for Single-Family Residential, Multiple-Family Residential, and Mobile Home Dwelling Units; per room for Commercial Lodging Rooms; and per square foot for Retail, Commercial, & Service Uses, Industrial Uses, and Institutional Uses. These equivalents are benchmarking disclosures only; they are not fee rates and do not alter the capital program.

Current Fire Facilities Development Impact Fees
The City of Hemet currently levies a Fire Facilities development impact fee under Fund 332 of its adopted Development Impact Fee Program. The Fire Facilities Fee supports the construction and improvement of fire suppression facilities, including fire stations, response and prevention vehicles, and firefighter apparel and equipment. As of June 30, 2024, the fund’s balance totaled $3,743,576.

During FY 2023-24, the City collected $233,008 in new fees and earned $132,308 in interest; no expenditures were recorded. Current adopted rates (Resolution No. 3981, January 23, 2006) are $560 per Single-Family Residential, $480 per Multiple-Family Residential, $354 per Mobile Home/Senior Dwelling Unit, $424 per Townhome/Duplex Dwelling Unit, $0.240 per square foot for Commercial/Office development, and $0.056 per square foot for Industrial development. The new fee schedule developed in this chapter will replace these legacy rates upon adoption, updating them to current cost and service standards in compliance with AB-602.

Five Findings

1. Purpose of the Fee
The purpose of the Fire Facilities development impact fee is to ensure that new development in the City of Hemet pays its fair and proportionate share of the capital costs necessary to provide �ire protection and emergency response at the City’s established level of service. The 53

14.B.

Chapter 4 Fire Facilities
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report program includes City-owned �ire stations and associated capital components only; operating costs, staf�ing, maintenance, and other non-capital expenditures are excluded.

2. Use of the Fee
Fee revenues will be used solely for capital improvements that add or expand City-owned station capacity, including land acquisition (if required), planning, environmental review, design, permitting, construction, and related site or building work. Expenditures are limited to the growth-related share of such improvements and include the capital projects identi�ied in the Fire Facilities program totaling $42,898,735, as shown in Table 4-3. Fees will not fund operations, routine maintenance, or like-for-like replacements that do not increase capacity.

3. Relationship Between the Fee’s Use and the Type of Development New development across the adopted land use categories—Single-Family Residential, Multiple-Family Residential, Mobile Home Dwelling Units, Commercial Lodging Rooms, Retail, Commercial, & Service Uses, Industrial Uses, and Institutional Uses—generates additional calls-for-service that draw upon station capacity. Fee revenues are applied to station facilities that provide citywide coverage and directly serve the incremental demand created by those developments. There is, therefore, a reasonable relationship between the use of the fee and the types of development upon which it is imposed.

4. Relationship Between the Need for Facilities and the Type of Development The need for additional �ire-station capacity is quanti�ied by applying Hemet-speci�ic callgeneration rates from Table 4-1 to net new development, producing 5,537 growth-related calls-for-service (Table 4-2). Recognized removals reduce the calculated need. The planned facility improvements maintain a workload consistent with the current level of service as growth occurs, establishing a reasonable relationship between the identi�ied facilities and the demand generated by each development type.

5. Relationship Between the Amount of the Fee and the Cost Attributable to Development The Fire Facilities capital program cost of $42,898,735 is allocated to development categories in proportion to each category’s share of growth-related calls (Table 4-3). Those allocations are converted to fee rates—residential per residential square foot, nonresidential per square foot, and Commercial Lodging Rooms per Room—using unrounded calculations and presenting published rates to $0.001. This approach ensures each development type pays only for the cost of �ire-station capacity attributable to its own demand, satisfying the proportionality requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act and AB-602.

Implementation and Compliance Notes
Adoption and Program Structure: The City of Hemet will adopt the Fire Facilities development impact fee (DIF) by City Council action following adoption of the supporting nexus study. The City is both the imposing and administering agency and will collect, manage, and account for the fee under 54

Chapter 5
Bridges, Streets, & Traffic
Purpose and Scope
Purpose: The purpose of this chapter is to update and implement the City of Hemet’s Bridges, Streets, & Traf�ic (BST) Program Fee (Fund 329) by setting maximum justi�ied fees and administrative provisions consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code § 66000 et seq.) and Assembly Bill 602 (AB-602). This update recalibrates costs for current construction escalation, aligns methodology and presentation with current statutory requirements, and refreshes the capital project list and growth inputs to ensure continued funding adequacy and compliance with state law.

Hemet’s transportation infrastructure—including roadways, intersections, signals, bridges, and access/egress facilities—serves both existing residents and businesses as well as new development.

Without additional investment, the increase in vehicle trips generated by growth would erode the performance of the City’s mobility network, leading to unacceptable congestion and diminished level of service (LOS).

In establishing this update, the Program recognizes the integrated nature of the City’s transportation system. While speci�ic projects are identi�ied in this chapter, the purpose is to support an interconnected roadway network consistent with the City’s General Plan and Circulation Element.

The Program is structured to balance equity between existing and future users, maintain mobility standards across Hemet’s service area, and ensure that growth continues to contribute proportionally to the infrastructure necessary to sustain the City’s adopted LOS.

Scope of Improvements: The Bridges, Streets, & Traf�ic Fee program is limited to capital improvements that expand or enhance the City’s roadway and mobility network to accommodate demand generated by new development. Eligible improvements under this program include:
• Street widening and extensions — adding capacity on existing corridors and extending new roadway segments consistent with the General Plan/Circulation Element. • Intersections and signalization — new traf�ic signals and signal upgrades/modi�ications, turn pockets, channelization, and related intersection control measures that improve traf�ic �low and safety.
• Access/egress improvements — turn lanes, approach/exit treatments, and frontage elements that ensure adequate connection to the roadway system. • Systemwide operations and safety — traf�ic control devices, signing/striping, communications/ITS, and corridor safety or operational upgrades necessary to sustain network performance.
56

14.B.

Chapter 5 Bridges, Streets, & Traffic
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report • Sidewalks and pedestrian lighting — sidewalk gap closures, ADA curb ramps, crosswalks, and lighting when constructed as part of an eligible roadway/intersection project or as a corridor operations/safety improvement.
• Bridges and structures — new bridge capacity or bridge replacements that maintain network connectivity and level of service, where identi�ied in the City’s project list.

The program excludes operations, routine maintenance, and stand-alone recreational amenities not functionally tied to an eligible roadway, intersection, or bridge project. The project list presented in this chapter re�lects the portion of Hemet’s transportation capital needs that may be funded through development impact fees and includes representative categories such as full-width and half-street widenings, traf�ic signal installations and upgrades, sidewalk/lighting corridors, and bridge projects (e.g., Hemet Street and SR-79 crossings).

Scope of Bene�iciaries: The Bridges, Streets, & Traf�ic Fee program provides systemwide bene�its to both existing and new development in Hemet. Capacity and operations improvements, such as street widenings, intersection and signal upgrades, bridges, and corridor safety/operations elements, enhance the ef�iciency and safety of the City’s transportation network for all users.

Financial responsibility is assigned to growth because new development introduces additional trips that create the need for added capacity. Existing development has already contributed to today’s system through prior public investments and previously collected impact fees. To maintain equity, this program allocates the cost of eligible improvements to new development in proportion to the trip demand it generates.

For consistency with prior chapters, bene�iciaries are organized by the same adopted land-use categories used throughout this report. The fee distribution follows those categories without restating them here, ensuring proportionality while avoiding redundancy.

Scope of Nexus: The Mitigation Fee Act requires that a reasonable relationship, or nexus, be established between new development and the public facilities funded through development impact fees. For transportation, this relationship is demonstrated by linking the additional vehicle trips generated by new development to the roadway, bridge, and traf�ic improvements necessary to accommodate those trips.

The BST Program measures the nexus by converting new development to trip-based demand, assigning the growth share of capacity-increasing project costs, and expressing the result as fee rates by land use. As new residential and nonresidential development occurs, it generates additional trips that contribute to congestion and increase the need for roadway, intersection, signal, and bridge improvements. These projects ensure that the City’s transportation network continues to operate safely and ef�iciently as growth takes place.

While existing residents and businesses also bene�it from these improvements, their contribution has already been made through past investments and fees. The fee program is structured so that the added travel demand from new development does not diminish existing mobility levels, thereby maintaining equity between existing and future users.

14.B.

Chapter 5 Bridges, Streets, & Traffic
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report The total cost of improvements required to maintain the City’s adopted level of service is divided between existing and new development based on measurable indicators of trip demand. New development’s cost share is then proportionally allocated to development categories according to the relative impact of each use type. The detailed methodology used to quantify trip demand and allocate costs is presented later in this chapter.

Through this structure, the Bridges, Streets, & Traf�ic Fee program demonstrates the required nexus between new development and the transportation improvements that serve it. The methodology ensures that fees are proportionate to impacts, that bene�its are reasonably related to those who pay, and that the program complies fully with the Mitigation Fee Act and AB-602.

Existing Facilities
Asset and Infrastructure: The City of Hemet maintains a roadway and circulation system that provides mobility for residents, businesses, and visitors. The network consists of a hierarchy of City streets—principally arterials and collectors—together with signalized intersections, traf�ic control devices, and roadway lighting. These facilities represent a signi�icant public investment and form the baseline network that must be maintained as the community grows.

Within the roadway network, the current asset inventory identi�ies approximately 85.47 miles of Cityowned arterials and collectors that have been populated to date. These corridor classes, including associated right-of-way factors, carry a combined current replacement value of about $179.6 million.

As the inventory is re�ined, additional roadway classes (such as secondary or local streets) can be incorporated to re�lect the full system mileage; the values presented here re�lect the portions of the network that are currently quanti�ied.

Intersections and traf�ic signals are critical control points within this system. The inventory includes 45 fully actuated traf�ic signals, with an estimated replacement value of roughly $36.0 million. Signal additions and modi�ications are implemented as needed to maintain safe and ef�icient operations as demand increases across key corridors and at growth-area intersections.

Traf�ic control and signage support safe operations and way�inding throughout the City. The inventory includes approximately 12,515 installed street name, regulatory, and directional signs, with an estimated replacement value of about $6.4 million. These devices provide the regulatory framework and clarity necessary for ef�icient corridor performance.

Street lighting infrastructure enhances nighttime visibility and supports pedestrian safety along the roadway network. The City’s current inventory includes about 4,500 safety light poles, with an estimated replacement value of roughly $34.6 million. Lighting investments are coordinated with roadway and intersection improvements to maintain corridor safety and functionality.

Taken together, these inventoried assets re�lect substantial prior investment in Hemet’s circulation system. The replacement values establish the City’s capital equity in the existing network and provide the baseline level of service for the Bridges, Streets, & Traf�ic fee program, ensuring that new development contributes its fair, proportionate share toward system expansion and improvement. 58

14.B.

Chapter 5 Bridges, Streets, & Traffic
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Existing Financial Commitment: Hemet’s circulation system represents a substantial public investment made over many years by existing residents and businesses. The network of arterials and collectors, together with the controlled intersections, traf�ic control devices, and roadway lighting that support safe operations, forms the capital foundation for mobility across the City. At current replacement values, the roadway system—including pavement and associated right-of-way—totals approximately $537.9 million. In addition, the inventory includes fully actuated traf�ic signals with an estimated replacement value of about $36.0 million, an installed stock of street and regulatory signs valued at roughly $6.4 million, and safety light poles and associated lighting improvements valued at about $34.6 million. Taken together, these elements re�lect a cumulative investment on the order of $615 million in today’s dollars.

These �igures illustrate the scale of the community’s existing contribution to the transportation network. The purpose of the Bridges, Streets, & Traf�ic fee is not to retroactively charge existing development, but to ensure that new development contributes its fair, proportionate share toward capacity and operational improvements needed to preserve mobility and safety standards as growth occurs.

Level of Service: For purposes of this program, transportation service is de�ined in terms of the trip demand generated by land uses, rather than the traditional Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) lettergrade framework. HCM LOS is valuable for diagnosing operational performance at a location—e.g., whether an intersection needs improvement based on delay or volume-to-capacity—but it does not apportion how much of that need is caused by each land use. A fee program must trace impacts back to growth in a measurable way, so this study instead uses a demand metric that attributes system use to development types and supports proportional cost allocation.

This study measures demand by calculating trip-miles generated by new development. Each land use produces trip-ends that are multiplied by average trip length to determine daily trip-miles attributable to that use. Trip-miles serve as the quantitative denominator for assigning a proportionate share of system improvement costs to new development, while recognizing the substantial �inancial investment already made by existing residents and businesses.

By de�ining the level of service for fee purposes in terms of trip demand (trip-miles) rather than HCM letter grades, the methodology grounds fees in measurable impacts and links the calculation directly to the additional demand created by growth. This approach provides a clear and defensible basis for allocating costs in compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act.

The speci�ic inputs to this methodology—including trip generation rates, trip lengths, and any adjustments by land use—are based on standard industry sources and regional travel behavior studies. These details, along with the full fee calculation, are presented later in this chapter.

Growth and Demand
Growth Inputs: The demand for transportation improvements in Hemet is driven by the scale and pattern of growth anticipated during the planning horizon. This chapter uses the City’s adopted planning assumptions to de�ine the magnitude of new residential and business development 59

14.B.

Chapter 5 Bridges, Streets, & Traffic
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report expected over the study period. Those inputs provide the basis for estimating the additional travel activity generated by growth and, in turn, the capacity that must be added to the circulation system.

Residential growth is measured in dwelling units, by adopted land-use categories. Nonresidential growth is measured in �loor area (square feet), with Commercial Lodging measured in rooms. These measures align with the fee presentation requirements under AB-602 and maintain consistency across chapters.

Each growth input translates into trip-ends that generate additional miles of travel within the City’s roadway network. The linkage between new development, trip generation, and resulting trip-miles forms the foundation of cost allocation in this program. The speci�ic trip rates, average trip lengths, and any adjustments by use are presented in the methodology section that follows; the key point here is that the scale of growth directly drives the scale of new demand on Hemet’s transportation system.

Method: This program establishes transportation demand using a trip-based methodology that combines standard trip-generation rates with regional travel behavior data. The framework ensures that development impact fees are allocated in proportion to the transportation demand created by new growth.

Trip Generation
Trip-ends are established using accepted trip-generation rates by land use. Residential rates are expressed per dwelling unit; nonresidential rates are expressed per 1,000 square feet; Commercial Lodging is measured per room. These rates yield gross daily trip-ends for each use.

Trip Length
Gross trip-ends are converted to trip-miles by applying average trip-length factors derived from the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) regional travel behavior data. These factors are used here as the most applicable regional source for Southern California travel distances and are applied to re�lect local conditions.

Adjustments for Trip Type
To isolate net new demand, trip-miles are adjusted for primary, diverted, and pass-by components.

Primary trips are fully counted; diverted trips are partially counted; pass-by trips receive the lowest weighting. These adjustments prevent over-attribution to uses that attract passing traf�ic.

Trip-Miles as the Demand Metric
Trip-miles—calculated as trip-ends × average trip length × adjustment factors—serve as the common denominator for measuring demand, capturing both the frequency of trips and the distance they travel within the City’s network.

Translation to Fees
Because nonresidential trip rates are developed per 1,000 square feet, analytical calculations use KSF internally. For presentation, quantities are shown in square feet and, consistent with AB-602, 60

14.B.

Chapter 5 Bridges, Streets, & Traffic
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report maximum justi�ied fees are expressed per square foot (Commercial Lodging per room). Residential fees are also presented per square foot.

Compliance and Detailed Methodology
This methodology allocates costs in proportion to measurable, growth-related demand, consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act. The speci�ic inputs—trip-generation rates, SANDAG trip-length factors, and trip-type adjustments—together with the equations used to compute Trip-Ends and Trip-Miles, are documented in the methodology appendix and model tables.

Transit Nexus Consideration: Government Code §66005.1 (Mitigation Fee Act) requires that when a local agency imposes a fee on a housing development for the purpose of mitigating vehicular traf�ic impacts, and that development is located within a transit priority area, the fee shall be set at a rate that re�lects a lower rate of automobile trip generation, unless the local agency adopts �indings at a public hearing establishing that the development would not generate fewer automobile trips despite its transit proximity. A transit priority area is de�ined under Public Resources Code §21099 as the area within one-half mile of a qualifying Major Transit Stop. A Major Transit Stop is de�ined under Public Resources Code §21064.3, as amended by Assembly Bill 2553 (Chapter 275, Statutes of 2024, effective January 1, 2025), to mean a site containing an existing rail or bus rapid transit station, a ferry terminal served by bus or rail transit, or the intersection of two or more major bus routes with a frequency of service interval of 20 minutes or less during morning and afternoon peak commute periods. For reference, a High Quality Transit Corridor (HQTC) — de�ined under Public Resources Code §21155(b) as a corridor with �ixed-route bus service with service intervals no longer than 15 minutes during peak commute hours — establishes the related CEQA transit priority project standard.

The City of Hemet is served by the Riverside Transit Agency (RTA), which operates conventional �ixedroute bus service and on-demand GoMicro microtransit within the City. No RTA �ixed route currently operating within Hemet meets the statutory frequency threshold for designation as an HQTC (scheduled headways of 15 minutes or better during peak periods). No two RTA routes intersecting within Hemet operate at headways of 20 minutes or better during peak periods, and no commuter rail, light rail, or bus rapid transit service operates within or adjacent to the City. Accordingly, no qualifying Major Transit Stop as de�ined under Public Resources Code §21064.3 exists within the Hemet service area, no transit priority area under Public Resources Code §21099 is present within the City, and no fee reduction under Government Code §66005.1 is warranted.

This �inding is consistent with the City's adopted General Plan Mobility Element and with current RTA service levels. Should qualifying high-quality transit service be established in the future, this program should be revisited to assess whether a transit proximity adjustment is required at that time.

Scope of Included Demand Metric: This program measures the transportation demand of new development in terms of vehicular trips that directly affect the City’s circulation system. Other modes of travel—such as walking, bicycling, and transit—are not included in the calculation of development impact fees, not because they lack importance, but because they do not generate the same level of capital facility costs that this program is designed to fund. 61

14.B.

Chapter 5 Bridges, Streets, & Traffic
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Demand is organized into two broad categories:
• Residential development: Single-Family Residential, Multiple-Family Residential, and Mobile Home Dwelling Units.
• Business development: Retail, Commercial, & Service Uses; Industrial Uses; Institutional Uses; and Commercial Lodging Rooms.

Within the business category, Commercial Lodging Rooms are measured on a per Room basis for trip generation; consistent with AB-602, �inal fees are presented per square foot for all categories except Commercial Lodging Rooms, which are presented per Room.

By grouping development into these categories, the methodology re�lects the principal sources of vehicular demand while maintaining clarity and consistency across the fee program.

The common metric for measuring this demand is trip-miles, which combine the number of trips generated by a land use with the distance traveled for those trips. This approach captures the burden that development places on the roadway system by considering both frequency and distance, rather than relying solely on household counts or square footage.

The scope de�ined here establishes the framework for the calculations that follow. Table 5-1 presents the trip-generation rates, trip lengths, and resulting trip-miles for each land use category. These �igures provide the technical basis for understanding how the overall demand for transportation facilities is distributed across different types of development.

Resulting Service Demand: The methodology converts projected development into trip-miles by applying trip-generation and trip-length factors to each land use category. The resulting growthrelated trip-miles and shares are:
• Single-Family Residential: 29,423 trip-miles (10.19%) • Multiple-Family Residential: 9,392 trip-miles (3.25%) • Mobile Home Dwelling Units: 289 trip-miles (0.10%)
• Commercial Lodging Rooms: 476 trip-miles (0.16%)
• Retail, Commercial, & Service Uses: 176,903 trip-miles (61.27%) • Industrial Uses: 70,440 trip-miles (24.40%)
• Institutional Uses: 1,818 trip-miles (0.63%)
• Total: 288,742 trip-miles (100.00%)
These values quantify the incremental burden that new development places on the circulation system by capturing both trip frequency and distance. They provide the technical basis for allocating Bridges, Streets, & Traf�ic capital costs to each land use in direct proportion to its share of total trip-miles.

Consistent with AB-602 presentation standards, �inal fees are shown per square foot for all categories except Commercial Lodging Rooms, which are shown per Room.

Chapter 5 Bridges, Streets, & Traffic
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Capacity Implications: Table 5-2 shows that potential new development in Hemet will generate 288,742 additional trip-miles on the City’s circulation system. This increase represents the measurable incremental demand attributable to growth beyond the existing baseline, summarized in Table 5-1.

As these additional trip-miles are introduced into the system, roadway and intersection capacity will be stressed beyond current functional levels. The resulting conditions include longer travel times, recurring congestion, and reduced ef�iciency at critical network locations. These outcomes cannot be mitigated solely through operational adjustments and necessitate targeted capital improvements to preserve adopted service standards.

To address the impacts of the 288,742 growth-related trip-miles, the City must construct roadway widenings, intersection modi�ications, new traf�ic signals, and related circulation improvements that directly expand system capacity. These projects are proportionally sized to the demand documented in Table 5-2, and program costs are allocated to land uses in direct proportion to each category’s share of total trip-miles. Final fees are presented per square foot for all categories except Commercial Lodging Rooms, which are presented per Room.

By aligning capacity improvements with the quanti�ied trip-mile burden of future growth, the Bridges, Streets, & Traf�ic program establishes a defensible basis for assigning fair-share cost responsibility to new development while protecting the mobility and safety of existing residents and businesses.

Allocation by Land Use: The cost of transportation improvements is distributed across land uses in direct proportion to their contribution to the 288,742 growth-related trip-miles identi�ied in Table 5-

2. This approach ensures that each category of new development is assigned responsibility only for the share of system capacity it requires.

Residential development contributes to trip demand through daily household travel associated with Single-Family Residential, Multiple-Family Residential, and Mobile Home Dwelling Units. Business development contributes through customer, employee, visitor, and goods-movement trips generated by Retail, Commercial, & Service Uses, Industrial Uses, Institutional Uses, and Commercial Lodging Rooms. By quantifying demand in trip-miles, the program captures both the frequency and distance of travel, providing a clear and equitable basis for cost allocation.

While the principle of proportional allocation is established here, the detailed calculation of each land use’s percentage share is presented later in this chapter in Derivation of Maximum Justi�ied Fees.

Capacity Sizing and Capital Program: The demand generated by new development, as documented in Table 5-2, requires targeted capital improvements to maintain the performance of Hemet’s transportation system. The City’s adopted General Plan and Mobility Element identify locations where roadway capacity, intersection performance, and traf�ic signalization must be enhanced to accommodate projected growth.

Capacity sizing in this program is based on proportionality. Each project has been evaluated to determine the extent to which it addresses the additional 288,742 growth-related trip-miles relative 64

14.B.

Chapter 5 Bridges, Streets, & Traffic
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report to existing de�iciencies. Cost responsibility for each project was determined by City staff and is documented in the project list that follows.

The resulting capital program consists of roadway widenings, intersection upgrades, and traf�ic signal projects that expand circulation system capacity in line with the projected growth in trip demand.

Collectively, these improvements address the most critical needs to preserve safe and ef�icient mobility throughout Hemet.

The following section presents the Bridges, Streets, & Traf�ic project list included in this program.

Each project is described by scope/size, location, cost, and the allocation between new development and the existing community, providing a transparent basis for the fee calculation.

Allocation of Project Costs
This section assigns, for each transportation project, the proportion of cost attributable to new development versus the existing community. Only the portion of a project’s cost necessitated by new development is recovered through the impact fee; the remaining share, which bene�its existing residents and businesses, is funded from other City sources such as grants, transportation funds, or the General Fund.
109

14.B.

Chapter 5 Bridges, Streets, & Traffic
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report New development pays only its proportionate share. Each project is reviewed to distinguish improvements required by additional trips from growth from those that remedy existing conditions or provide broader, systemwide bene�its.

These allocations are documented with each project and summed to determine the total growtheligible cost. Land use demand has already been established earlier in this chapter and is applied in the next section to distribute these growth-eligible costs across the adopted land use categories and fee units.

The new-development allocation percentages applied to each project were provided by City staff based on their assessment of each improvement’s relationship to growth-generated demand.

Derivation of Maximum Justi�ied Fees
The total cost of improvements allocated to new development within the BST Program provides the basis for calculating maximum justi�ied fees. That growth-eligible cost is distributed across land use categories in proportion to each category’s share of growth-related demand, measured in trip-miles as established earlier in this chapter.

Allocating the BST Program’s growth-eligible cost by each land use’s percentage of total trip-miles maintains proportionality and equity and is consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act and AB-602. The resulting fees are presented per square foot for all land uses, with Commercial Lodging Rooms presented per Room, consistent with this report’s adopted presentation standards.

Table 5-3 allocates the BST Program’s growth-eligible cost to land uses in proportion to their shares of total growth trip-miles; the following subsection presents the existing community’s funding commitment for the remaining share.

Existing Community Financial Commitment Comparison
The Mitigation Fee Act requires that new development pay no more than its fair share of the cost of public facilities needed to serve growth. To demonstrate compliance, this chapter documents the �inancial commitment already made by the existing community and contrasts it with the costs allocated to new development within the BST Program.

City records show that Hemet’s existing transportation system encompasses capitalized investments totaling $623,501,495, consisting of $614,880,543 in roadway and traf�ic control assets (arterials, collectors, divided secondaries, express collectors, secondaries, locals, major facilities, rural locals, fully actuated signals, street signs, and safety lighting) plus an $8,620,952 circulation fund balance.

These �igures represent the existing community’s contribution to establishing baseline capacity for the circulation system.

Table 5-4 presents these existing system amounts alongside the BST Program costs assigned to new development using the same land use categories and fee units, providing a direct, proportional comparison between the existing community’s historical contributions and the obligations assigned to future growth.

Fee Schedule and Summary
The maximum justi�ied fees are derived by allocating the BST Program’s growth-eligible cost to land uses in proportion to each land use’s share of total growth trip-miles. The resulting fee levels represent the cost responsibility of new development to provide the transportation improvements required to accommodate projected growth while maintaining the City’s adopted performance standards.

Fees are presented per square foot for residential and nonresidential land uses, with Commercial Lodging Rooms presented per Room, consistent with this chapter’s methodology and presentation standards. The schedule provides a transparent distribution of costs across land uses and ties fee obligations directly to measurable demand.

Table 5-5 presents the maximum justi�ied transportation impact fees by land use. The City may adopt any amount at or below the maximum justi�ied levels and may implement annual indexing and administrative provisions consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act and AB-602. 112

Current Bridges, Streets, & Traf�ic Fee
The City of Hemet levies the Bridges, Streets, & Traf�ic (BST) development impact fee to �inance capacity-increasing circulation improvements, including highways/roads, bridges, and traf�ic signals.

The City initiated its DIF Program and the BST Fee on January 23, 2001, through adoption of Ordinance No. 1639 (the fee was formerly known as the Road Facilities Fee).

According to the City’s FY 2023–24 AB-1600 Annual Report, the BST Fund (Fund 329) held a balance of $8,620,952 as of June 30, 2024. This amount re�lects a beginning balance of $6,813,714, plus revenues of $1,179,148 in BST fees, $241,456 in interest income, $86,239 in fair-market-value adjustments, and $865,966 in other revenues/reimbursements, offset by $564,994 in project expenses and $578 in other expenses. No transfers, loans, or refunds were reported for FY 2023–24.

The current adopted BST fee amounts (FY 2023–24) are $2,948 per Single Family dwelling unit, $2,030 per Multi-Family dwelling unit, $1,537 per Mobile Home/Senior dwelling unit, $1,805 per Townhome/Duplex dwelling unit, $2.46 per square foot for Commercial/Of�ice ($2.01 for TUMF projects), and $0.414 per square foot for Industrial ($0.325 for TUMF projects). These legacy rates remain in effect pending adoption of the updated fee program presented in this chapter.

Five Findings

1. Purpose of the Fee
The purpose of the Bridges, Streets, & Traf�ic (BST) development impact fee is to �inance the roadway, bridge, intersection, and traf�ic signal improvements necessary to mitigate the impacts of new development on the City’s circulation system. The fee ensures that growth 113

14.B.

Chapter 5 Bridges, Streets, & Traffic
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report contributes its fair, proportionate share toward maintaining adopted mobility standards, consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code § 66000 et seq.) and AB-602.

2. Use of the Fee
Fee revenues are used exclusively to plan, design, acquire right-of-way for, and construct the BST capital projects identi�ied in this chapter, including roadway widenings and extensions, bridge projects, intersection and signal improvements, and corridor operations/safety elements that expand system capacity to accommodate growth. Operations and routine maintenance are not funded by this fee.

3. Relationship Between the Fee’s Use and the Type of Development All new development increases travel demand on the circulation system. The improvements funded by the BST fee directly expand system capacity and operations to serve that additional demand. Accordingly, there is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fee (eligible BST projects) and the impacts of the development on which the fee is imposed.

4. Relationship Between the Need for Facilities and the Type of Development The need for additional BST facilities arises from the incremental trip demand generated by new development. Without capacity expansion—such as added lanes, new signals, and related corridor improvements—the circulation system would fall below adopted performance standards. Each category of development contributes to this demand, establishing a reasonable relationship between new development and the need for the identi�ied improvements.

5. Relationship Between the Amount of the Fee and the Cost Attributable to Development Each BST project’s cost is allocated between new development and the existing community using a proportional methodology grounded in measured trip demand. The growth-eligible share is then distributed across land uses in proportion to each land use’s share of total growth trip-miles, and fees are presented per square foot (Commercial Lodging Rooms per Room) consistent with AB-602. The resulting maximum justi�ied fee for each land use does not exceed the cost of facilities reasonably attributable to that development category.

Implementation and Compliance Notes
Adoption and Program Structure: The Bridges, Streets, & Traf�ic (BST) development impact fee shall be adopted by ordinance of the Hemet City Council. Upon adoption, the BST Program will supersede prior transportation fee mechanisms for new collections and provide a consolidated framework to fund capacity-adding roadway, bridge, intersection, and signal improvements consistent with this chapter.

Fund Accounting and Reporting: All BST revenues shall be deposited into a separate account for Fund 329. Interest earnings accrue to Fund 329 and may be used only for eligible BST improvements. 114

14.B.

Chapter 5 Bridges, Streets, & Traffic
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report The City will track revenues and expenditures by project and report annually, consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act.

Eligible Uses: Fee revenues may be used only for BST improvements that add capacity to serve new development, including roadway widenings and extensions, bridge projects, intersection expansions, new traf�ic signals, signal coordination, and related circulation improvements identi�ied in this chapter. Fees may not fund operations or routine maintenance, nor replace existing facilities without adding capacity.

Timing of Collection: Fees shall be collected at the time of building permit issuance, unless otherwise directed by City ordinance.

Indexing: The BST fee schedule will be adjusted annually using a construction cost index approved by the City Council to maintain purchasing power for planned improvements.

Credits and Reimbursements: Developers that construct eligible BST improvements or dedicate right-of-way identi�ied in this chapter may receive credits against fees otherwise due. If eligible improvements constructed by a developer exceed the fee obligation, the City may enter into a reimbursement agreement, subject to City Council approval and program requirements.

AB-1600 Reporting: The City will comply with Government Code § 66006 annual reporting, including fee collections, interest, expenditures, and balances. For unexpended balances held �ive years or more, the City Council will make �indings required by Government Code § 66001(d). This chapter provides the technical basis to support those �indings.

Program Applicability: The BST Program applies citywide. Funds may be expended on any eligible BST facility consistent with the nexus established in this chapter and in a manner that maintains consistency with the City’s General Plan, Circulation/Mobility Element, and adopted performance standards.

Chapter 6
Flood Control (Storm Drainage Facilities)
Purpose and Scope
Purpose: The purpose of this chapter is to update the City’s existing development impact fee (DIF) for storm drain facilities so new development funds its fair, proportional share of added capacity required to maintain the City’s established level of service (LOS) for �lood control as growth increases impervious area and runoff. For purposes of this chapter, the program is referred to as the Flood Control Program (FCP), consistent with the City’s Flood Control (Storm Drainage Facilities) fee as reported in the Annual Development Impact Fee Report. The City maintains an active storm drain DIF fund with ongoing collections and interest. This chapter modernizes the nexus basis, aligns the fee with Hemet’s current land uses and runoff coef�icients, and documents eligible growth-related capital uses. Fee revenues are restricted to capitalized, growth-related costs and may not fund repair or likefor-like replacement of existing facilities, except where a project increases capacity attributable to growth.

Scope of Improvements: Projects eligible for Flood Control Program (FCP) funding consist of �ive basin-level regional drainage improvements (FC-001 through FC-005) that aggregate the City’s master-planned storm drain systems from the Little Lake Basin, Southwest Hemet Basin, San Jacinto Basin (Hemet Segments), West Hemet Basin, and Hemet Main Basin Master Drainage Plans. These basin projects form the basis of this fee update and are documented in Appendix J (Flood Control Cost Basis and Project Detail), which summarizes the component facilities in each basin and the associated escalated costs. A consolidated Flood Control Capital Project Summary chart is provided in Appendix K.

This chapter frames the fee update across the basin project list so that new development contributes its fair, proportional share toward the added drainage capacity required to maintain the City’s established level of service (LOS) as impervious area and runoff increase.

Eligible uses of FCP revenues are limited to growth-related capital costs associated with the adopted projects, for example, planning, design, land or easements (if required), permitting, construction, and other capacity-adding components. Routine maintenance, repair, or like-for-like replacement is not eligible, except where a project element increases capacity attributable to growth.

Scope of Bene�iciaries: Storm drain capacity improvements bene�it both existing residents and businesses and new development within Hemet because added capacity preserves citywide protection as runoff increases with growth. For this update, the Flood Control Program (FCP) includes �ive basin-level regional drainage improvements (FC-001 through FC-005). For each basin project, costs are apportioned 50% to the existing community and 50% to new development; only the growtheligible share is carried forward for fee allocation. The growth-related share of each basin project will be funded by new development; any remaining share is attributable to the existing community or other non-DIF sources. The 50% growth allocation is a policy-based apportionment that re�lects the 116

14.B.

Chapter 6 Flood Control
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report forward-looking nature of these regional trunk systems. Each master drainage plan was designed and sized to accommodate ultimate buildout conditions; the need to construct trunk capacity that does not yet exist is primarily driven by new development. This apportionment is consistent with accepted practice under the Mitigation Fee Act for regional drainage facilities where basin hydrology has not been updated to support a more granular demand-driven allocation, and where no prior fee program has funded trunk-level construction.

The growth share is allocated across the study’s fee land use classes in proportion to each class’s contribution to additional runoff, using the adopted runoff coef�icients by land use type. This maintains a proportional nexus between the fee and those who bene�it from the added capacity.

Scope of Nexus: The nexus for the FCP is the incremental runoff generated by new impervious area as development occurs. Costs are allocated across land uses using the adopted runoff coef�icients from the Runoff Coef�icient (C) Fact Sheet, Fact Sheet-5.1.3, Clean Water Team Guidance Compendium for Watershed Monitoring and Assessment(State Water Resources Control Board, 2011), ensuring that development types with higher coef�icients bear a proportionally greater share of cost. This approach maintains the legally required relationship between the use of the fee and the development paying the fee.

Existing System
Assets and Infrastructure: The City’s storm drainage system includes a closed pipe network, open channels, intake and outlet structures, storage facilities, and energy-dissipation features, together with related appurtenances. Based on City records, the closed conveyance network totals 61,450 feet (approximately 11.638 miles) and includes 18-inch (5,000 feet), 24-inch (5,000 feet), 30-inch (15,000 feet), 36-inch (35,000 feet), 48-inch (1,000 feet), and 60-inch (450 feet) pipe across 61 pipe runs. The structure inventory includes 156 manholes and 246 inlets. Storage capacity includes 0.50 acres of retention basins and 10.75 acres of detention basins. Intake structures collect local runoff and connect it to the conveyance network; open channels with soil, concrete, or asphalt linings carry �lows where closed pipe is not feasible and interface with dissipation features at transitions or outfalls.

Ancillary protections are provided where hydraulic transitions, safety, or access constraints require them. Together, these elements establish the baseline storm drainage system referenced in this chapter and provide the foundation for identifying capacity-adding improvements eligible for the Flood Control Program.

Existing Financial Commitment: The existing community’s equity in storm drain assets totals $70,594,228, consisting of $68,781,728 for the existing conveyance system, $150,000 for the retention basin, and $1,662,500 for detention basins. The current fund balance of $6,864,347 is maintained separately and is applied against growth-eligible costs elsewhere in this chapter; it is not included in the equity amount above. For transparency and proportionality, this amount will be allocated across the study’s fee land use classes using the same runoff-based methodology applied in the fee calculation, providing a consistent comparison between the existing community’s investment and the proportionate shares assigned to new development in the Flood Control Program. 117

14.B.

Chapter 6 Flood Control
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Level of Service: The City’s storm drainage level of service (LOS) is the system’s ability to collect and convey runoff from developed land uses without localized �looding, property damage, or public-safety hazards. For design context, the City’s adopted master drainage plans for the individual drainage basins establish the basin hydrology yield and facility-sizing approach used to plan improvements (for example, the relationship between tributary area and peak �low).

However, the master drainage plans provide sizing criteria rather than proportional demand factors by land use; they compile tract-level �low–area relationships into basin yields and do not prescribe land-use-speci�ic runoff coef�icients for fee allocation. To establish proportional demand by land use for a development impact fee, this study uses runoff coef�icients as the demand metric because they translate differences in imperviousness across land uses into relative runoff generation in a consistent, auditable way, yielding effective impervious area for allocation. This study adopts runoff coef�icients from the State Water Resources Control Board’s Runoff Coef�icient (C) Fact Sheet (State Water Resources Control Board, 2011), which provides recognized ranges by land use and directs the practitioner to select appropriate values for the local context.

The coef�icients adopted for this study are:
• Single-Family Residential: 0.50
• Multiple-Family Residential: 0.575
• Mobile Home Dwelling Units: 0.60
• Commercial Lodging Rooms: 0.725
• Retail, Commercial, & Service Uses: 0.725
• Industrial Uses: 0.70
• Institutional Uses: 0.725
These values quantify each land use’s relative contribution to stormwater generation; higher coef�icients re�lect greater impervious coverage and thus higher runoff per acre. They provide the basis for allocating growth-related capacity costs in this chapter.

Growth and Demand
Growth Inputs: This chapter measures growth using Land Use Database (LUDB) quantities for new development over the study horizon—dwelling units or rooms for residential categories and building square feet for nonresidential categories. As noted in Level of Service, runoff coef�icients are the demand metric for allocation; the study adopts coef�icients from the State Water Resources Control Board’s Runoff Coef�icient (C) Fact Sheet (2011) and holds them constant across scenarios.

For demand measurement and allocation, each land use’s growth quantity is multiplied by its adopted runoff coef�icient to produce an effective impervious area. The effective impervious areas are summed to a study total, and each land use’s share of that total represents its proportion of growthrelated demand on the storm drainage system. Those proportional shares are then used to allocate growth-eligible capacity costs and to determine the maximum justi�ied fees. Coef�icients are selected within published ranges for Hemet’s development context and are not tuned to target outcomes. 118

14.B.

Chapter 6 Flood Control
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report This analysis uses seven land use categories: Single-Family Residential, Multiple-Family Residential, Mobile Home Dwelling Units, Commercial Lodging Rooms, Retail, Commercial, & Service Uses, Industrial Uses, and Institutional Uses.

Method: This chapter converts growth to drainage demand by expressing each land use’s growth on an area basis and applying the adopted runoff coef�icient to derive effective impervious acres (EIA).

In the study tables, “Potential Acres” are multiplied by the adopted coef�icient to produce “Total Impervious Acres,” which represent the portion of developed area that functions as impervious for drainage design and fee allocation.

The citywide EIA is the sum of “Total Impervious Acres” across all land uses. Each land use’s demand share appears as “Percentage of Demand,” calculated as that land use’s EIA divided by the citywide total; those percentages carry directly into “Allocation of Costs,” distributing growth-eligible program costs in proportion to each land use’s contribution to runoff. The allocated amounts are then divided by the applicable growth measures used in the fee schedule, per square foot for residential and nonresidential development, and per Room for lodging, to derive the maximum justi�ied fees. This method ensures that land uses with higher impervious coverage bear a correspondingly larger share of growth-related costs and that the fee remains proportionate to the runoff burden created by new development.

The capital cost basis to which this allocation method is applied consists of �ive basin-level regional drainage projects (FC-001 through FC-005). Each basin project aggregates the master-planned storm drain facilities identi�ied in the City’s adopted master drainage plans for the individual drainage basins. Basin-level costs are established, escalated to 2025 dollars, and reconciled to their component facilities as documented in Appendix J. For fee purposes, each basin’s total cost is apportioned 50 percent to existing development and 50 percent to new development; only the growth-eligible share is carried forward for allocation using the runoff-based method described above.

For project eligibility and quantities, only facilities located inside the City boundary are included; facilities solely within the sphere of in�luence are excluded. Where a facility runs along or crosses the boundary, only the portion inside the City is counted, with split facilities prorated to the inside footprint. Project siting references the City’s adopted master drainage plans for the individual basins, together with mapped City boundary information, for inside/outside determinations, with City engineering review to con�irm placements and quantities.

Scope of Included Demand Metric: The demand metric used to allocate storm drainage costs is effective impervious acreage. This converts the physical extent of development into an equivalent runoff impact by applying land use speci�ic runoff coef�icients to each category. For example, a SingleFamily Residential area with a coef�icient of 0.50 is assumed to generate less runoff per acre than an Industrial use with a coef�icient of 0.70, re�lecting differences in impervious coverage. By standardizing runoff generation across all land uses, effective impervious acreage provides a common unit for comparing relative impacts and distributing costs proportionately, so each land use pays only its fair share of growth-related system costs. This approach is consistent with industry practice and aligns with the Mitigation Fee Act’s requirement that fees be reasonably related to the burden created 119

This total represents the resulting service demand from new development and serves as the basis for allocating growth-related storm drainage capacity costs. Each land use’s share is determined by its proportion of the total effective impervious acreage and is carried forward to the allocation of costs and the fee calculation in the next section. The calculation of potential impervious acres from new development is summarized in Table 6-2. [This space left blank to fit the following table on one page.] 120

Capacity Implications: Growth-related increases in effective impervious area raise peak runoff and required conveyance. To maintain the existing level of protection, capacity is added where the system is constrained, by upsizing pipelines and inlets or constructing new conveyance or detention, while routine repair or like-for-like replacement remains ineligible for fee funding.

This study converts LUDB growth to runoff-weighted demand (effective impervious acres) and uses the resulting citywide total of 3,637 acres to apportion the growth-eligible share of capacity costs.

For this update, each project’s cost is apportioned 50% to the existing community and 50% to new development; only the growth-eligible share is allocated to land uses in proportion to each category’s share of the total effective impervious acres. Because Hemet’s growth inputs show no negative entries in the runoff totals, there is no reduction to citywide growth demand from redevelopment offsets.

Project sizing and siting are consistent with the City’s adopted master drainage plans for the individual basins and City engineering review, identifying where added capacity is necessary to serve growth while keeping service levels constant.

Allocation by Land Use: For each land use category, growth (dwelling units or rooms for residential development and building square feet for nonresidential development) is converted to runoffweighted demand using the adopted runoff coef�icients described in the Level of Service section.

Summing these results establishes the total effective impervious acres from growth, and each category’s proportion of that total becomes its allocation share. Those shares are applied to the growth-eligible portion of the basin-level capital program in this update to produce category subtotals. Subtotals are then converted to fee schedule units consistent with AB-602: residential and nonresidential fees are expressed per square foot, and lodging is expressed per Room. This sequence 121

14.B.

Chapter 6 Flood Control
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report keeps the allocation directly tied to each land use’s contribution to runoff and to the capacity provided.

Capacity Sizing and Capital Program: Capacity is sized to maintain the City’s existing level of storm drain protection as development occurs. Sizing and prioritization follow the runoff-coef�icient framework used in this chapter. Projects that add capacity—such as upsizing pipelines and inlets, constructing new conveyance, or providing detention where constraints exist—are eligible only to the capacity-increase share attributable to growth; routine repair or like-for-like replacement without added capacity is not fee-eligible.

For this update, the capital program consists of �ive basin-level regional drainage projects (FC-001 through FC-005). Each basin project aggregates the master-planned storm drain facilities identi�ied in the City’s adopted master drainage plans for the individual basins and is documented in Appendix J. Each project’s cost is apportioned 50% to the existing community and 50% to new development; only the growth-eligible share is carried forward for fee allocation. As discussed in the Scope of Bene�iciaries section, the 50% growth allocation is a policy-based apportionment that re�lects the forward-looking nature of these trunk systems and is consistent with accepted practice under the Mitigation Fee Act for regional drainage facilities. Fee-eligible costs are allocated to land use categories using the runoff-based method described above, and the results carry through to the fee schedule presentation.

The following section presents the basin-level regional drainage projects included in this update and documents their scope, purpose, and eligibility. Consistent with the sizing approach described above, the projects are framed to maintain the existing level of storm drain protection as development occurs. The fee-eligible shares are determined using the runoff-based allocation method, and the resulting amounts carry forward to the fee schedule.

The project completes missing segments, replaces interim facilities with ultimate improvements, and enlarges undersized reaches to meet current hydrologic design criteria.

These improvements are necessary to address existing �looding constraints and to provide adequate capacity for long-term development in the central and southeastern portions of the City.

Size/Scope: Construction and upsizing of master-planned regional storm drain facilities in the Hemet Main Basin, including the fee-eligible portions of the Line A Storm Drain System (the Florida Avenue extension and associated Lines A-2, A-3, A-6, and A-7), the fee-eligible portion of the Line B Storm Drain System (B-1 and B-2, plus the unconstructed mainline segment), the Line C-1 reach, and the Line D corridors (Lines D-1 and D-6), as identi�ied in the Hemet Area Master Drainage Plan and summarized in Appendix J.

Location: Hemet Main Basin within the City of Hemet, including storm drain corridors along Florida Avenue, Stetson Avenue, Ramona Expressway, and adjacent streets served by the Line A, Line B, Line C-1, and Line D systems, as shown in the Hemet Area Master Drainage Plan.

New Development Share: 50%–$7,729,081 (to be funded through Flood Control Impact Fees) Existing Community Share: 50%–$7,729,080 (not eligible for impact fee funding) Total Cost: $15,458,161
Timing: 2026–2036
Allocation of Project Costs
The capital program for this update consists of �ive basin-level regional drainage projects (FC-001 through FC-005). For each project, costs are apportioned 50% to the existing community and 50% to new development; only the growth-eligible share is carried forward for fee allocation. Across the program, the total capital cost is $125,923,220, and the growth-eligible subtotal is $62,961,610. This subtotal is reduced by the current program fund balance of $6,864,347, yielding a net fee-eligible 125

14.B.

Chapter 6 Flood Control
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report amount of $56,097,263 for allocation in Table 6-3. Net fee-eligible costs are then distributed to land uses by their shares of effective impervious area. Fees are expressed consistently with AB-602:
residential and nonresidential development per square foot, and Commercial Lodging per Room.

Derivation of Maximum Justi�ied Fees
The maximum justi�ied storm drainage fee is derived by linking growth-related costs to the runoff generated by new development and expressing the results in fee units. Growth by land use category— dwelling units or rooms for residential development and building square feet for nonresidential development—is converted to runoff-weighted demand using the adopted runoff coef�icients from the Level of Service section. Each category’s proportion of the total effective impervious acres becomes its allocation factor, maintaining proportionality between fee use and those who generate demand.

Those allocation factors are applied to the net fee-eligible share of the capital program, totaling $56,097,263, which re�lects the City’s growth-eligible project costs after accounting for the current fund balance. The resulting category subtotals are then converted to fee schedule units consistent with AB-602, so that residential and nonresidential fees are expressed per square foot and Commercial Lodging is expressed per Room. This process yields the maximum justi�ied fee by land use category and maintains the reasonable relationship between new development, the runoff it generates, and the facilities funded through the program.

City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Note: The Flood Control fund balance of $6,864,347 is deducted from gross growth-eligible project costs before fee derivation. Calculations use full precision; per-square-foot rates are displayed to three decimals ($0.001), and totals are shown to the dollar.

Existing Community Financial Commitment Comparison
The City’s existing storm drainage system represents $70,594,228 in community equity (replacement value of existing assets). In addition, the Flood Control Fund held a balance of $6,864,347 as of June 30, 2024. For fee calculation purposes, this fund balance is applied as a �inancing offset to the gross growth-eligible share of the capital program and is not included in the equity amount above. Using the study’s runoff-coef�icient framework, Table 6-4 allocates the existing equity across the fee land use classes—Single-Family Residential, Multiple-Family Residential, Mobile Home Dwelling Units, Commercial Lodging Rooms, Retail, Commercial, & Service Uses, Industrial Uses, and Institutional Uses—for comparison to the proposed fee schedule.

This comparison shows the existing community has already �inanced the current drainage service level; new development pays only its proportional, growth-related share of capacity-expanding planning and improvements. Fee schedule units remain per square foot for residential and nonresidential development, and per Room for Commercial Lodging Rooms, as established earlier.

City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Fee Schedule and Summary
Table 6-5 presents the recommended Flood Control development impact fees by land use, expressed per square foot for residential and nonresidential development, and per Room for Commercial Lodging Rooms. For the fee schedule, the existing Flood Control fund balance of $6,864,347 is deducted from the growth-eligible program cost before deriving fees. The schedule is derived from the fee-eligible growth share of the capital program, allocated to land use classes in proportion to their runoff contributions using the study’s runoff-coef�icient method. The schedule re�lects the maximum justi�ied amounts consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act. The City Council may adopt the fees in whole or in part and may apply rounding, indexing by an appropriate cost index, or other policy adjustments, provided the adopted schedule does not exceed the maximum justi�ied fee amounts documented in this chapter and maintains the required reasonable relationship between new runoff and the capacity provided, as documented in this chapter.

Current Flood Control Development Impact Fees
The City of Hemet currently levies a Flood Control (Storm Drainage Facilities) development impact fee under Fund 326 of its adopted Development Impact Fee Program. The Flood Control Fee supports street gutter facilities, inlets, and a pipeline network of storm drain lines that convey runoff to smaller lines, creeks, aqueducts, and channels across the City.

According to the City’s FY 2023–24 AB-1600 Annual Report, the Flood Control Fund (Fund 326) held a balance of $6,864,347 as of June 30, 2024. This amount re�lects a beginning balance of $5,917,438, plus revenues of $741,923 in new Flood Control fees, $169,922 in interest income, and $60,690 in fair-market-value adjustments, offset by $25,626 in project expenditures. The $6,864,347 represents 128

14.B.

Chapter 6 Flood Control
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report cumulative contributions from prior and ongoing development activity and forms the existing reserve for the Flood Control Program.

The current adopted Flood Control (Storm Drainage Facilities) fee amounts (FY 2023–24, as summarized in the Annual Report) are $1,405 per Single-Family Dwelling Unit, $2,030 per Townhome/Duplex Dwelling Unit, $474 per Multifamily Dwelling Unit, $1,147 per Mobile Home/Senior Dwelling Unit, $0.402 per square foot for Commercial/Of�ice development, and $0.344 per square foot for Industrial development. These legacy rates remain in effect pending adoption of the updated fee program presented in this chapter.

The updated Flood Control fee schedule developed herein will replace the legacy rates with values that re�lect current construction costs, veri�ied runoff-based growth allocations, and compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act and AB-602. Upon adoption, the revised fees will provide a modernized and defensible funding mechanism for storm drainage improvements identi�ied in the City’s capital program.

Five Findings

1. Purpose of the Fee
The storm drain development impact fee (DIF) funds the growth-related share of facilities needed to accommodate additional runoff from new development. The fee allows the City to maintain its adopted level of storm drainage protection by adding capacity where needed as development occurs. Revenues are limited to capitalized, capacity-adding costs attributable to growth; routine maintenance or like-for-like replacement without added capacity is not fee-eligible.

2. Use of the Fee
Fee revenues will be used to fund the growth-related share of the storm drainage capital program identified in this chapter. For this update, the capital scope consists of five basinlevel regional drainage projects (FC-001 through FC-005), as documented in Appendix J.

Expenditures are limited to capacity-increasing costs associated with these projects—such as planning, design, land or easements if required, permitting, construction, and other capacity-adding elements. Operations, maintenance, and like-for-like replacement without added capacity are not eligible. Fee revenues are programmed for improvements that serve the City’s integrated drainage system and help maintain the adopted level of protection as development occurs.

3. Relationship Between the Fee’s Use and the Type of Development The fee is charged to new developments in proportion to the runoff they generate. Runoff coef�icients are applied to land uses to measure impervious surface increases and allocate costs accordingly. This ensures that each development type pays only for the drainage impacts it creates.

14.B.

Chapter 6 Flood Control
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report

4. Relationship Between the Need for the Facilities and the Type of Development New development increases the extent of impervious surfaces, which in turn increases stormwater runoff, requiring additional capacity in the storm drainage system. Without new improvements, the level of service provided to the existing community would diminish. The fee establishes a reasonable relationship between the need for expanded storm drainage facilities and the additional runoff generated by new development.

5. Relationship Between the Amount of the Fee and the Cost Attributable to Development
The fee amount is based on allocating the growth share of project costs across development units, using effective impervious acreage as the demand metric. The resulting fees re�lect only the portion of costs attributable to new development. Existing community needs are excluded from the fee program, ensuring compliance with the proportionality requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act.

Implementation and Compliance Notes
Adoption & Program Structure: Adopt the updated Flood Control (Storm Drainage Facilities) development impact fee by Council ordinance or resolution, and continue administering it through a single citywide fund.

Dedicated Accounting: Maintain one citywide fund with project-level subledgers; continue recording interest earnings, credits, reimbursements, and all activity required for annual AB-1600 reporting.

Eligible uses: Limit expenditures to the growth-related, capacity-increasing share of the basin-level projects identi�ied in this chapter and documented in Appendix J. Routine operations, maintenance, and like-for-like replacement without added capacity are not eligible.

Timing of Collection: State in the adopting action that the fee is due at the certi�icate of occupancy or �inal inspection.

Indexing: Authorize annual indexing by an appropriate cost index to maintain purchasing power of the schedule (e.g., construction cost or CPI as applicable to item types).

Credits/reimbursements: Provide for credits or reimbursement agreements when an applicant constructs an eligible capacity project on the adopted list to avoid double payment; maintain audit trails in the fund.

AB-1600 reporting: Continue the City’s annual development fee report and public presentation and make the required �ive-year �indings for any unspent balances, consistent with the Mitigation Fee Act.

Consistency statements: In the adopting action, state that the citywide fee may be programmed for improvements anywhere in the City where they serve the integrated drainage system and maintain the adopted level of protection.

Water System Facilities
Purpose and Scope
Purpose: Establish a Water System Facilities development impact fee (DIF) so new development served by the City of Hemet water system funds its fair, proportional share of capacity needed to maintain the City’s established level of water service as system demand increases within the City’s water service area. The program covers storage, transmission, and distribution facilities that provide capacity to City-served development. This chapter provides the current nexus basis and fee calculations speci�ic to Water System Facilities, aligned with the City’s adopted land use categories and fee-unit conventions (residential and nonresidential per square foot, and Commercial Lodging per Room). Fee revenues are limited to capitalized, growth-related costs and do not fund repair or like-for-like replacement, except where a project element increases capacity attributable to growth.

For context, the chapter brie�ly summarizes program administration and the high-level method used to determine growth shares within the City’s water service area; detailed methodology, cost allocation, and related �indings are addressed in subsequent sections.

Water Service Providers and Program Applicability: Water service within the City of Hemet is provided by multiple agencies. The City of Hemet owns and operates a municipal water system that serves a de�ined water service area within City limits. Other areas of the City are served by Eastern Municipal Water District and Lake Hemet Municipal Water District. The Water System Facilities Development Impact Fee addressed in this chapter applies only to development that will receive water service from the City of Hemet water system. Development served by other water providers is not subject to this fee.

Scope of Improvements: The Water System Facilities program encompasses capacity-increasing investments across three areas, storage, transmission, and distribution, within the City of Hemet water service area, as re�lected in the current project list.

Storage improvements include new or expanded reservoirs and tanks, with associated site, piping, and control systems, that add usable storage volume to serve development connected to the City’s water system. Transmission projects involve new or upsized trunk mains, booster facilities, and pressure-zone upgrades that provide conveyance capacity to move additional �lows within the Cityserved system. Distribution projects address new corridor mains and the upsizing of undersized grid mains, valves, and appurtenances needed to maintain operating pressure and �ire-�low reliability as new connections occur in City-served areas.

This chapter frames the fee update around these water projects so that new development served by the City of Hemet water system contributes its fair, proportional share toward the added system capacity required to maintain the City’s established level of service as system demand increases within the water service area. Additional capacity projects may be incorporated through a future update consistent with this program’s methodology.

Chapter 7 Water System Facilities
City of Hemet 2026-27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Eligible uses of the Water System Facilities DIF are limited to growth-related capital costs associated with the capacity-adding elements of these categories, such as planning, design, land or easement acquisition (if required), permitting, construction, and integration of related controls and interconnections. Routine maintenance, repair, or like-for-like replacement is not eligible, except where a project element demonstrably increases capacity attributable to growth.

Scope of Bene�iciaries: Water System Facilities capacity improvements bene�it both existing residents and businesses served by the City of Hemet water system and new development that places demand on the City of Hemet water system, because added capacity preserves water service as system demand increases with growth in City-served areas. Rather than focusing on a single project, this program is structured around capacity-increasing improvements across storage, transmission, and distribution, where upsizing or new facilities are required to meet projected demands and maintain the City’s established level of service within the water service area. The growth-related share of these improvements will be funded by new development; any remaining share is attributable to the existing community or other non-DIF sources.

The growth share is allocated across the study’s fee land use classes in proportion to each class’s contribution to additional water demand within the City’s water service area, under the City’s levelof-service framework. This maintains a proportional nexus between the fee and those who bene�it from the added capacity.

Scope of Nexus: This fee program funds capacity-increasing improvements within the City’s Water System Facilities, storage, transmission, and distribution, that serve development connected to the City of Hemet water system, where added capacity is required to maintain the established level of service as system demand increases with development that places demand on the City of Hemet water system. The nexus is based on average-day water demand measured in gallons per day (GPD):
as new development served by the City’s water system increases GPD, additional system capacity is required to sustain service standards.

Water demand for each fee land use category is measured using GPD-based generation factors developed for this study from the City’s adopted water planning documents. Residential demand is expressed on a per-dwelling-unit basis; nonresidential demand is expressed on a per-acre basis. For Water, Commercial Lodging Rooms demand is estimated using a proxy of 512 GPD per acre applied to lodging acres within the City’s water service area. Fees for lodging remain per Room: the lodging share of growth-related costs is divided by total Rooms to derive the per Room fee. These locally derived factors provide the quantitative basis for allocating growth-related costs in proportion to each land use category’s contribution to future water demand within the City’s water service area, maintaining a clear and proportional nexus between those who generate demand and the facilities they help fund. The data inputs and planning framework are drawn from the City’s Water System Master Plan (Stetson Engineers Inc., 2021) and the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (Stetson Engineers Inc., 2021) .

Chapter 7 Water System Facilities
City of Hemet 2026-27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Existing System
Assets and Infrastructure: Hemet’s water system consists of supply, storage, transmission, and distribution facilities that deliver potable water to customers and provide the required �ire-�low capacity within the City’s water service area. City records and adopted water planning documents con�irm three active production wells and four storage tanks totaling approximately 5.0 million gallons currently in service. Transmission facilities include trunk and pressure-zone mains that move water between storage and demand areas within the City-served system, while the distribution grid is composed of smaller mains and appurtenances, including valves, hydrants, and system interconnections, that maintain operating pressures and ire-�low reliability for City-served development.

The City’s water system also includes interconnections with Eastern Municipal Water District and an emergency interconnection with Lake Hemet Municipal Water District, which support operational �lexibility and emergency response. These interconnections are existing system components; however, replacement-cost values are not assigned at this time due to the absence of capitalized cost records.

For this chapter, the existing system baseline re�lects the City’s currently active water system facilities within the water service area. Although prior planning documents identify a broader historical inventory, only assets con�irmed as active are included in the baseline. This baseline provides the framework for establishing the City’s existing water system and for identifying capacity-adding Water System Facilities improvements in later sections.

Existing Financial Commitment: City records indicate the existing community’s equity in Water System Facilities totals $19,250,000, stated at 2025 replacement costs. This total consists of $10,500,000 for three active production wells and $8,750,000 for storage facilities totaling approximately 5.0 million gallons, based on documented unit costs applied to the City’s con�irmed existing asset inventory. Water system interconnections with the Eastern Municipal Water District and the Lake Hemet Municipal Water District are existing system components but are not assigned replacement-cost values at this time due to the absence of capitalized cost records. There is no Water System Facilities fund balance identi�ied for netting at this time.

For transparency and proportionality, the valued existing system total is distributed across the study’s fee land use classes using the same gallons-per-day (GPD) demand framework applied in the fee calculation. This approach provides a consistent comparison between the existing community’s investment in Water System Facilities and the proportionate shares assigned to new development in the Water System Facilities fee schedule.

Level of Service: The City’s water level of service is de�ined by the ability of the City of Hemet water system to produce, store, transmit, and distribute potable water to development served by the City’s water system while maintaining required operating pressures and �ire-�low reliability within the City’s water service area. System demand is measured as average daily water demand, expressed in gallons per day (GPD). For this study, demand is quanti�ied using locally derived generation factors by land use category, expressed in GPD per dwelling unit for residential uses and GPD per acre for 134

14.B.

Chapter 7 Water System Facilities
City of Hemet 2026-27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report nonresidential uses, developed from the City’s adopted water planning documents (Water System Master Plan, 2021; Urban Water Management Plan, 2020).

The adopted demand factors are:
• Single-Family Residential: 395 GPD per dwelling unit
• Multiple-Family Residential: 311 GPD per dwelling unit • Mobile Home Dwelling Units: 176 GPD per dwelling unit • Commercial Lodging Rooms: Demand is estimated using 512 GPD per acre applied to lodging acres (proxy). Fees remain per Room (allocation by demand; fee derivation by Rooms).
• Retail, Commercial, & Service Uses: 512 GPD per acre
• Industrial Uses: 258 GPD per acre
• Institutional Uses: 41 GPD per acre
These factors quantify each land use’s relative contribution to system loading within the City’s water service area; higher factors correspond to greater water demand and, therefore, a larger share of capacity needs. Together with the existing system values reported in this chapter’s Existing System section, this GPD-based framework establishes the City’s baseline water service level against which future growth impacts are evaluated and growth-related capacity costs are allocated.

Growth and Demand
Growth Inputs: This chapter measures growth using the City’s land use database (LUDB) quantities for new development within the City’s water service area over the study horizon, expressed as dwelling units for residential categories and acres for nonresidential categories. For the Water System Facilities program, Commercial Lodging Rooms demand is estimated using a proxy of 512 GPD per acre applied to lodging acres within the water service area; fees remain assessed per Room.

Each land use category is paired with the adopted water-demand factor (GPD) established in the Level of Service section—expressed per dwelling unit for residential uses and per acre for nonresidential uses—so that higher-demand land uses generate proportionally more water demand per unit of growth. The resulting category GPD totals establish each class’s share of growth-related demand on the City’s water system and provide the basis for allocating fee-eligible capacity costs and deriving maximum justi�ied fees. The analysis applies these factors only to land uses served by the City of Hemet water system, maintaining consistent de�initions and applicability throughout this chapter.

Application of Water Service Area to Demand Calculations Because the City of Hemet does not provide water service citywide, the Water System Facilities demand base evaluated in this chapter is limited to development and existing uses that generate demand on the City’s water system. Areas served by other water providers do not place demand on City-owned water facilities and are therefore excluded from the analysis.

To establish a defensible City-served demand base without rebuilding a parcel-level land use database, this study applies a service-area screening approach to the Land Use Database (LUDB) 135

14.B.

Chapter 7 Water System Facilities
City of Hemet 2026-27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report inputs used in the Water System Facilities model. Service-area adjustments are applied to the demand-driving inputs, while the adopted per-unit water demand factors are held constant.

Residential demand is screened by adjusting potential and existing dwelling unit counts to represent the portion of residential development served by the City of Hemet water system. The adjustment is based on a planning-level evaluation of the City’s water service area and the distribution of residential land uses, informed by adopted land use designations and mapped development patterns. The resulting City-served residential demand is then converted to average daily water demand using the adopted gallons-per-day (GPD) per dwelling unit factors established in this chapter.

Nonresidential demand is screened by applying service-area inclusion adjustments to the calculated land-use water demand values. This approach represents the portion of nonresidential demand attributable to development served by the City’s water system while maintaining consistency with the adopted water demand factors expressed per acre or per square foot.

The service-area screening is applied consistently to both existing and potential conditions to maintain an apples-to-apples comparison between the City’s existing water system demand base and future growth. This ensures that demand, cost allocation, and fee calculations re�lect only water demand attributable to City-served development and mirrors the service-area adjustment framework used in the Wastewater System Facilities chapter.

Method: This chapter converts growth to water demand by applying adopted average-day waterdemand factors, expressed in gallons per day (GPD), to land uses that place demand on the City of Hemet water system. The City does not provide water service citywide. As documented in the City’s adopted Water System Master Plan and Urban Water Management Plan, the City owns and operates a municipal water system serving a de�ined portion of the City, encompassing approximately 5.25 square miles, while other areas within City limits are served by Eastern Municipal Water District and Lake Hemet Municipal Water District. For purposes of this analysis, water demand and system costs were evaluated only for development that places demand on the City’s water system. Development served by other water providers was not evaluated because it does not rely on, bene�it from, or place demand on City water facilities.

Existing system demand is summarized in Table 7-1: Existing Average Daily Water Demand (GPD) and re�lects water demand generated by existing development that places demand on the City’s water system. Projected demand from new development is summarized in Table 7-2: Projected Average Daily Water Demand from Growth (GPD) and is calculated by multiplying residential dwelling units by the applicable GPD-per-dwelling-unit factors and nonresidential development by the applicable GPD-per-acre factors. For nonresidential uses, acreage is used for the water-demand conversion, while building square feet are reported for contextual reference.

Total water demand for analytical purposes is calculated as the sum of land-use GPD totals for development that places demand on the City’s water system, rather than as a citywide total, because only City-served development utilizes City water facilities and contributes to the need for City-funded system capacity. Each land use’s share of demand is expressed as a percentage of total City-served system demand, calculated as that land use’s GPD divided by the total GPD for all City-served development. These demand percentages are carried forward to Table 7-3: Allocation of 136

14.B.

Chapter 7 Water System Facilities
City of Hemet 2026-27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Development Cost per Land Use, where Water System Facilities costs are allocated in proportion to each land use’s contribution to system demand.

Allocated cost amounts are then divided by the applicable growth measures used in the fee schedule to derive the maximum justi�ied Water System Facilities fees. By evaluating demand and system costs only for development that places demand on the City’s water system, and by allocating costs based on relative water demand among those users, this method ensures that the Water System Facilities Development Impact Fee is proportionate to the burden placed on City facilities and consistent with the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act and Assembly Bill 602.

Scope of Included Demand Metric: The demand metric used to allocate Water System Facilities costs is average daily water demand, expressed in gallons per day (GPD). This metric converts the physical extent of development into an equivalent water loading by applying land use-speci�ic generation factors, allowing development of different types and intensities to be evaluated on a consistent basis based on the demand they place on the City of Hemet water system. Only water demand generated by development that places demand on the City’s water system is included in the analysis.

Each land use’s contribution depends on its adopted GPD factor and its development intensity (for example, dwelling units per acre for residential uses and acres for nonresidential uses). Accordingly, relative demand varies by both land use type and intensity, rather than any single category universally generating more demand than another. By standardizing water demand across all land uses, the GPD framework provides a common unit for comparing relative impacts and distributing costs proportionately, so each land use pays only its fair share of growth-related Water System Facilities costs attributable to demand on the City’s system.

The calculation of existing average daily water demand using this GPD framework is summarized in Table 7-1: Existing Average Daily Water Demand (GPD).

Resulting Service Demand: Applying the adopted GPD factors to the Land Use Database growth yields a total of 3,651,569 GPD of projected average-day water demand from new development that places demand on the City of Hemet water system. This total represents the service demand attributable to growth on the City’s water system and serves as the basis for allocating growth-eligible Water System Facilities capacity costs.

Each land use’s share of this demand—calculated from the Daily Water Demand values summarized in Table 7-2: Projected Average Daily Water Demand from Growth (GPD)—is used to allocate growthrelated costs proportionately. The resulting percentage shares are re�lected in Table 7-3: Allocation of Development Cost per Land Use.

Capacity Implications: As growth increases water demand, the City’s water system must provide additional storage, transmission, and distribution capacity to maintain the established level of service for development that places demand on the City’s water system. Capacity is added where constraints occur, including upsizing mains where projected �lows exceed available capacity, extending or constructing new transmission and distribution facilities to serve growth areas and maintain operating pressures and �ire-�low reliability, and adding storage where operating or emergency volume thresholds are approached. Routine repair or like-for-like replacement is not fee-eligible unless a project element increases capacity attributable to growth.

This study converts Land Use Database growth to water demand expressed in gallons per day (GPD) and uses the resulting total growth-related demand placed on the City’s water system to apportion the growth-eligible share of Water System Facilities costs across land uses. The near-term capital scope evaluated in this chapter encompasses capacity-adding storage, transmission, and distribution improvements required to convey projected �lows and sustain operating pressures for City-served development. Fee-eligible costs are allocated to land uses in proportion to each category’s share of total growth-related GPD demand, as summarized in Table 7-2: Projected Average Daily Water Demand from Growth (GPD).

Because the growth inputs used in this study re�lect net additions to development that place demand on the City’s water system, with no negative entries offsetting demand, there is no reduction to the 139

14.B.

Chapter 7 Water System Facilities
City of Hemet 2026-27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report total growth-related demand used for cost allocation. Project sizing and siting draw on the City’s adopted water planning documents and engineering review to identify where added capacity is necessary to serve growth while maintaining existing service levels.

Allocation by Land Use: Allocation follows a consistent, demand-based sequence. For each fee land use category, growth, expressed as dwelling units for residential uses and acres for nonresidential uses, is converted to water demand using the adopted gallons-per-day (GPD) factors established in the Level of Service section. Summing these demand calculations establishes the total average daily water demand from growth that places demand on the City of Hemet water system, and each category’s proportion of that total becomes its allocation share.

These proportional shares are applied to the growth-eligible portion of the Water System Facilities capital program evaluated in this update to produce category-speci�ic cost subtotals. Subtotals are then converted to fee schedule units consistent with Assembly Bill 602: residential and nonresidential fees are expressed on a per-square-foot basis, and Commercial Lodging fees are expressed per Room. For Commercial Lodging, building square feet are reported for fee units, with acreage used only for the water-demand conversion.

This approach ensures that cost allocation remains directly tied to each land use’s relative contribution to water demand placed on the City’s water system and to the capacity provided to serve that demand.

Capacity Sizing and Capital Program: Capacity is sized to maintain the City’s existing water level of service as development occurs that places demand on the City of Hemet water system. Project sizing and prioritization follow the gallons-per-day (GPD)–based demand framework used throughout this chapter. Projects that add capacity—such as upsizing transmission or distribution mains, extending or constructing new facilities to serve growth areas, or adding storage where required—are eligible only for the capacity-increase share attributable to growth that places demand on the City’s system.

Routine repair or like-for-like replacement without added capacity is not fee-eligible.

For this update, the capital scope is limited to a de�ined set of capacity-adding Water System Facilities improvements required to convey projected �lows and sustain operating pressures for City-served development. Growth-eligible costs associated with these improvements are allocated to land use categories using the GPD-based method described above, re�lecting each category’s relative contribution to water demand placed on the City’s water system. The resulting allocations carry forward to the fee schedule presentation.

The following section presents the speci�ic capacity-adding improvements included in this update and documents their scope, purpose, and eligibility, consistent with the sizing and allocation approach described here.

Allocation of Project Costs
The cost allocations in this chapter re�lect only the share of each improvement that adds capacity for growth, consistent with the City’s adopted planning framework. For pipeline upsizing projects, the growth share equals the fraction of hydraulic capacity created by increasing diameter (with baseline, pre-project capacity attributed to the existing community). Capacity relationships and corridor needs are drawn from the City’s Water and Sewer Master Plan Update, which identi�ies undersized corridors and transmission/distribution constraints to be relieved as development increases system loading.

For new conveyance constructed to serve planned growth areas (rather than replacing an existing 143

14.B.

Chapter 7 Water System Facilities
City of Hemet 2026-27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report facility), 100% of the cost is assigned to growth because all delivered capacity is incremental relative to the existing system; siting and function for these additions follow Master Plan direction. For storage, the split follows the Master Plan’s storage-requirement framework: the portion of volume needed to meet current operational/emergency requirements is attributed to the existing community, and only the incremental volume required by future average-day and �ire-�low demands is included as growth. System demand context and average-day benchmarks used to frame these sizing decisions are taken from the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan, which documents Hemet’s measured use and planning horizon conditions.

Applying this method, each project’s total cost is divided into a growth-related component, which is eligible for inclusion in the Water System Facilities Development Impact Fee, and an existing-system component, which is funded from non-fee sources. The growth-eligible cost subtotal is carried forward to Table 7-3: Allocation of Development Cost per Land Use and is distributed across land use categories in proportion to each category’s share of projected average-day water demand from growth that places demand on the City of Hemet water system, as summarized in Table 7-2: Projected Average Daily Water Demand from Growth (GPD). This approach preserves the proportional relationship between growth-related demand on the City’s water system and the capacity provided to serve that demand.

Derivation of Maximum Justi�ied Fees
The maximum justi�ied Water System Facilities fee is derived by linking growth-eligible costs to the average-day water demand, expressed in gallons per day (GPD), generated by new development that places demand on the City of Hemet water system, and expressing the results in fee units. Growth by land use category is converted to demand using the adopted GPD factors from the Level of Service section—per dwelling unit for residential uses and per acre for nonresidential uses. Each category’s share of the total GPD from growth placed on the City’s water system becomes its allocation factor, maintaining proportionality between fee use and the development that generates demand.

These allocation factors are applied to the fee-eligible share of the capital program evaluated in this update. The resulting category cost subtotals are then converted to fee schedule units consistent with Assembly Bill 602, such that residential and nonresidential fees are expressed on a per-square-foot basis, and Commercial Lodging fees are expressed per Room. This process yields the maximum justi�ied Water System Facilities fee by land use category. [This space left blank to fit the following table on one page.] 144
