Chapter 11 Library Facilities and Collections
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report those residents. Because the empirical demand is resident-based, the fee applies to residential development only.

4. Relationship Between the Need for Facilities and the Type of Development The need for expanded library facilities and collections arises directly from new residents generated by residential development. The program maintains the City’s adopted service standards—0.550 SF per resident for buildings and 1.115 units per resident for collections— and applies them to growth to determine the additional capacity required to keep service whole for both new and existing residents. In effect, the required building area equals netnew residents multiplied by 0.550 SF per resident, and the required collections equal netnew residents multiplied by 1.115 units per resident. These needs are attributable solely to residential growth and exclude backlog, maintenance, and like-for-like replacements.

5. Relationship Between the Amount of the Fee and the Cost Attributable to Development The fee amount is derived by converting each housing type’s projected demand—measured through persons-per-household and the City’s adopted service standards for buildings and collections—into a per-dwelling cost, and then expressing that amount per square foot of residential �loor area using the housing type’s average unit size (AB-602). This method ties each category’s charge directly to the incremental building space and collection units needed to serve its new residents. The resulting per-SF schedule is $0.655/SF for Single-Family Residential, $1.285/SF for Multiple-Family Residential, and $0.538/SF for Mobile Home Dwelling Units, ensuring no housing type is charged more than the cost attributable to the demand it creates.

Implementation Notes
Timing of Payment (Residential): Payment timing conforms to Gov. Code §66007. Fees are collected at building permit unless otherwise provided by ordinance or agreement; the City may allow payment at �inal inspection/certi�icate of occupancy or earlier by agreement.

Chapter 12
Parkland and Open Space Acquisition
and Facilities Improvements
Purpose and Scope
Purpose: Update the City’s existing Parks development impact fee (DIF) under the Mitigation Fee Act (AB-1600; Gov. Code § 66000 et seq.) so new residential development continues to fund its fair, proportional share of (a) parkland acquisition and (b) capacity-adding park improvements needed to maintain the City’s existing level of service (LOS) as population grows; establish a new Open Space component (land-only acquisitions for access/corridors; any activation improvements are funded under Parks); and continue the Regional Park participation by allocating a �ixed 16.3% share of Parks DIF receipts to the Valley-Wide Recreation & Park District for capacity-enhancing improvements at Diamond Valley Lake Community Park. Consistent with AB-602, residential fees are expressed on a per square foot basis using the City’s adopted demographic and land use inputs. Quimby Act (Gov.

Code § 66477) subdivision dedication and in-lieu requirements—if and where adopted by City ordinance—are recognized and administered separately and credited �irst to avoid double-counting.

The Regional Park facility is tracked in a separate sub-ledger, excluded from the City’s park inventory and LOS, and treated as proportional participation rather than City-owned acreage.

Scope of Improvements:

Parks (Parkland & Park Improvements): Eligible capital uses include parkland acquisition; planning, design, and permitting; site preparation and capacity-adding improvements such as multipurpose turf and hardscape areas, courts and �ields, destination playgrounds, restrooms and support buildings, lighting and fencing, internal paths and trailheads, and on-site accessibility upgrades necessary to place new capacity into service.

Open Space (Acquisition / Protection): Eligible uses include acquisition or protection of recreation-supporting open spaces, such as linear greenways and off-street trail corridors, to maintain the City’s open space standard. Open space sites must be suitable for recreation or park use to qualify under this fee. Improvements that activate or enhance open space areas (e.g., paving, lighting, way�inding) are funded under the Parks component rather than the Open Space fee, consistent with land-only treatment for open space acquisitions.

Regional Park Participation: The Regional Park component continues the City’s participation in the Valley-Wide Recreation & Park District’s Diamond Valley Lake Community Park. A �ixed 16.3% of Parks DIF receipts is allocated annually to the District for capacity-enhancing improvements at this regional facility. The Regional Park Fund is tracked in a separate sub-ledger (Fund 362) under AB1600 reporting, ensuring transparency and preventing commingling with City-owned park revenues.

Quimby (Subdivision) Dedication / Fee: For subdivisions, the City may require land dedication and/or in-lieu fees under the Quimby Act (Gov. Code § 66477). Quimby funds may be used to develop new or rehabilitate existing neighborhood or community park and recreation facilities that serve the 198

14.E.

Chapter 12 Parkland and Open Space Acquisition and Facilities Improvements City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report subdivision. Quimby may also be used to help remedy existing park de�iciencies only where statutory conditions are met—such as indings of de�iciency in the receiving area, a public hearing demonstrating foreseeable use by subdivision residents, and consistency with adopted plans and service radii. Quimby is administered separately from the AB-1600 Parks and Open Space fees, with credit order and eligible-cost rules de�ined later to avoid double-counting.

Scope of Bene�iciaries: This program is resident-based for Parks and applies to residential development citywide. Fees are assessed per square foot of residential �loor area consistent with AB602. For mixed-use projects, assessments are applied by category, and only the residential component is subject to the Parks fee. Residential categories include Single-Family Residential, Multiple-Family Residential, and Mobile Home Dwelling Units. Because Parks facilities function as a citywide system, improvements funded by this program bene�it both new and existing residents, maintaining a consistent level of service across all neighborhoods.

The Open Space component applies to both residential and nonresidential development.

Residential Open Space fees are expressed per square foot using the City’s open space standard and cost factors.

Nonresidential Open Space contributions are expressed per square foot by land use category (and, where appropriate, per Room for Commercial Lodging Rooms) and are administered alongside—but accounted separately from—the Parks fee to prevent double-counting. Open Space improvements provide recreation access, trail linkages, and connectivity serving the community as a whole.

Scope of Nexus:

Parks (Resident-Based): New dwelling units generate net-new residents, and those residents require added park capacity to maintain the City’s existing level of service (LOS). Net-new residents are calculated by multiplying new dwelling units by the applicable persons-per-household (SingleFamily Residential: 3.461; Multiple-Family Residential: 2.728; Mobile Home Dwelling Units: 1.541).

Required park acreage is then determined by applying the adopted acres-per-1,000-residents standard to the net-new residents. That acreage is priced using the City’s unit costs per acre for land and improvements to produce a cost per resident. The result is translated to cost per square foot by dividing by the average dwelling square footage for each housing type, using the dwelling size assumptions established in Chapter 2 and summarized in Use in Calculations. For mixed-use development, the calculation applies only to the residential component.

Open Space (Residential & Nonresidential): Residential Open Space follows the same residentbased method described above, using the City’s open space standard (acres per 1,000 residents) and the open space land-only unit cost per acre to derive cost per resident, cost per unit, and cost per square foot by housing type based on the applicable persons-per-household and average dwelling square footage.

Nonresidential Open Space is expressed as dollars per square foot by dividing the open space cost per developed acre by the average existing square feet per developed acre for each nonresidential land use category, with a per Room expression for Commercial Lodging Rooms where appropriate. In 199

14.E.

Chapter 12 Parkland and Open Space Acquisition and Facilities Improvements City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report all cases, costs allocated to development are proportional to the demand created by that development and are expressed on a per square foot basis where applicable, consistent with AB-602.

Regional Park Participation (Proportional Share): The regional component is not part of the City’s park acreage or LOS. Instead, the City participates through a �ixed 16.3% allocation of Parks DIF receipts for capacity-enhancing improvements at the regional facility operated by the Valley-Wide Recreation & Park District. This is a proportional-participation nexus rather than an acreage-based standard; funds are restricted to capital improvements that expand usable recreation capacity serving City residents.

Existing System
This section establishes the baseline park and open space system used to evaluate the City’s level of service (LOS) and to derive the fee. It documents current inventories, states how LOS is measured, and explains how existing capacity represented by fund balances is treated in the calculations.

Park Inventory: The City’s park system inventory is documented in Table 12-1, which lists each site and shows park type, developed and undeveloped acreage, core amenities, and notes relevant to eligibility and project scoping. This inventory re�lects the City’s current holdings and is used to benchmark the LOS that new development must maintain. The City’s LOS for parks is measured in acres per 1,000 residents, and the inventory in Table 12-1 establishes the baseline for that standard.

Open Space Inventory: Open space resources used for recreation access and connectivity (e.g., greenways and off-street trail corridors) are documented separately. Open space is treated as landonly under this program; activation improvements (paving, trailheads, lighting, way�inding) are funded under the Parks component when they add usable capacity. 200

Treatment of Existing Capacity and Fund Balances:
• City Parks balances: The existing Parks DIF fund balance of $3,310,852 is applied as a direct cost deduction from the gross program cost, reducing the net amount charged to new development. The fund balance acres are excluded from the physical inventory so the level of service standard re�lects only physical parkland. New development is not charged for capacity already funded through prior collections.
• Regional Park participation: The Valley-Wide regional facility (Diamond Valley Lake Community Park) is not included in the City’s park acreage or LOS. The City participates through a �ixed 16.3% share of Parks DIF receipts for capacity-enhancing improvements at that facility; amounts are disclosed for transparency and tracked in a separate accounting line, but they do not offset the City’s LOS calculations.

Current Level of Service: LOS is measured as acres per 1,000 residents. Using the inventories summarized in Table 12-1 (Parks) and Table 12-2 (Open Space), and the current resident population of 89,663, the City’s baseline LOS is established separately for Parks and for Open Space (land-only).

The regional facility (Diamond Valley Lake Community Park) is excluded from the City’s park acreage and LOS because it is operated by the Valley-Wide Recreation & Park District and treated as proportional participation rather than City-owned capacity. The fee program is designed to maintain these existing service levels as growth occurs, consistent with the standards adopted in this chapter; LOS will be recalibrated in future updates when the City adopts new population or inventory data.

For Open Space (land-only), the baseline standard is derived as 483.5 acres of Open Space (Table 12- 2) divided by the current resident population of 89,663, expressed per 1,000 residents: 483.5 ÷ (89,663 ÷ 1,000) = 5.392 acres per 1,000 residents.

Standards & Application:

This chapter uses two complementary tracks for Parks and a uni�ied approach for Open Space. For Parks, the non-subdivision impact fee follows the Mitigation Fee Act and is expressed per square foot under AB-602; for subdivisions, the City administers Quimby dedication or in-lieu fees separately.

Open Space applies to both residential and nonresidential development and is stated as dollars per square foot, with residential rates set by housing type and nonresidential rates set by land use category.

For all resident-based parkland standards in this chapter, including Parks (non-subdivision, AB1600), Parks (subdivision, Quimby), and Residential Open Space, demand is calculated by �irst translating new dwelling units into residents using persons-per-household assumptions. Net-new 201

14.E.

Chapter 12 Parkland and Open Space Acquisition and Facilities Improvements City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report residents are calculated by housing type as the number of new dwelling units multiplied by the applicable persons-per-household (Single-Family Residential: 3.461; Multiple-Family Residential:

2.728; Mobile Home Dwelling Units: 1.541). The applicable service standard, expressed in acres per 1,000 residents, is then applied to the resulting population to determine the amount of parkland required to serve new development. While these resident-based standards share a common approach for calculating service demand, they differ in how the resulting acreage requirement is implemented, as described in the subsections below.

Parks standard — Non-Subdivision (AB-1600): The study uses a service standard of 1.183 acres per 1,000 residents. The standard is applied to net-new residents to determine required acres, which are then costed and translated to cost per resident, cost per unit (using persons-per-household for Single-Family Residential, Multiple-Family Residential, and Mobile Home Dwelling Units), and �inally to cost per square foot using average dwelling square footage, consistent with AB-602. For mixed-use development, the calculation applies only to the residential component.

Parks standard — Subdivision (Quimby Dedication/Fee): For subdivisions, the City may require land dedication and/or in-lieu fees under the Quimby Act using 3.000 acres per 1,000 residents standard. Quimby is administered separately from the non-subdivision impact fee. Dedications and fees are credited in accordance with the credit and sequencing rules in the Fee Derivation section to avoid double-counting. Where statutory conditions are met, Quimby revenue may be used to develop new or rehabilitate existing neighborhood or community park and recreation facilities that will serve the subdivision.

Open Space Standards and Expressions: Residential Open Space follows the same resident-based method used for Parks. The City’s open space standard (5.392 acres per 1,000 residents), derived from the Current Level of Service using Table 12-2, is applied to net-new residents to determine required open space acreage, which is then priced using the land-only unit cost per acre to derive a cost per resident. That cost is translated to a cost per unit by housing type using the applicable persons-per-household and, consistent with AB-602, converted to a cost per square foot by dividing by the average dwelling square footage for each housing type.

For nonresidential development, Open Space impacts are expressed as dollars per square foot by dividing the open space cost per developed acre by the average existing square feet per developed acre for each land use category; where appropriate, Commercial Lodging Rooms may be expressed on a per Room basis. The nonresidential intensity basis uses 0.0815 acres of Open Space per privately held developed acre, calculated as 483.48 acres of Open Space divided by 5,933.68 privately held developed acres, ensuring proportional allocation across nonresidential land uses.

Application Rules: Fees are assessed on a per square foot basis for residential, consistent with AB602, using housing-type-speci�ic persons-per-household and the average dwelling unit sizes stated in the Use in Calculations section. Mixed-use projects are assessed by category; only the residential portion is subject to the Parks residential fee, and Open Space applies to residential and nonresidential components as speci�ied above. Change-of-use and additions are assessed on the net increase in impact. Quimby applies only to subdivisions and is administered separately from the nonsubdivision impact fee, with clearly de�ined crediting to prevent double-counting. 202

Chapter 12 Parkland and Open Space Acquisition and Facilities Improvements City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Growth and Demand
This section quanti�ies the additional system capacity required to maintain the City’s adopted levels of service as development occurs. It applies the study standards to net-new demand and identi�ies the resulting capacity for Parks and Open Space. The regional facility (Diamond Valley Lake Community Park) is excluded from LOS and continues to be addressed through the �ixed 16.3% participation framework.

Parks: Applying the adopted service standard of 1.183 acres per 1,000 residents to the net-new residential population of 40,756 yields a gross growth requirement of 48 acres of additional park capacity (calculation: 40,756 × 1.183 ÷ 1,000 = 48.214 → 48, rounded to whole numbers per project conventions). This gross acreage represents the capacity needed to maintain the City’s existing level of service as development occurs. The existing Parks DIF fund balance of $3,310,852 is deducted from the gross program cost in the capital program accounting, yielding a net DIF-eligible cost of $56,957,374 attributable to new development.

Open Space: Residential Open Space needs are derived from the City’s existing Open Space inventory and current resident population (see Current Level of Service and Table 12-2). Applying that standard of 5.392 acres per 1,000 residents to the same net-new residential population of 40,756 produces 220 acres of additional residential open space capacity (calculation: 40,756 × 5.392 ÷ 1,000 = 219.756 → 220, rounded). Nonresidential Open Space impacts are not expressed as acreage; they are derived on an intensity basis as dollars per square foot by dividing the open space cost per developed acre by the average existing square feet per developed acre for each land use category (and, where appropriate, on a per Room basis for Commercial Lodging Rooms). This approach uses the study’s nonresidential intensity factor of 0.0815 acres of Open Space per privately held developed acre and ensures proportional allocation across nonresidential land uses.

Cost Basis
This nexus study adopts planning unit costs and standards anchored to the Valley-Wide Recreation & Park District Master Plan (GreenPlay, LLC & RRC Associates, 2021) and applies them in current studyyear dollars. The cost basis is organized into (1) parkland acquisition (land fair market value (FMV)), (2) park improvements (capacity-adding construction), and (3) Open Space acquisitions (land-only), with regional participation addressed separately. Supporting documentation for the unit-cost benchmarks and planning cost basis used in this chapter is provided in Appendix N (Quality of Life Infrastructure Cost Basis).

Parkland Acquisition (Land Fair Market Value): Parkland land value is established as a planning fair market value (FMV) per acre for fee-simple, park-suitable sites in Hemet. Using the Valley-Wide planning context as the public benchmark and selecting a Hemet-appropriate point within that defensible range, the study sets a planning baseline of $350,000 per acre. This value represents what 203

14.E.

Chapter 12 Parkland and Open Space Acquisition and Facilities Improvements City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report the City would reasonably expect to pay to procure developable park sites (as opposed to encumbered utility strips or easements) and is used solely to price the land component of new park capacity.

Park Improvements (Capacity-Adding Construction): The improvements baseline is derived from the Master Plan’s typical neighborhood/community park program (multi-purpose turf and hardscape areas, courts and �ields, destination playgrounds, restroom/support building, lighting and fencing, internal paths and trailheads, irrigation, and accessibility). Unit costs for these elements are assembled into a prototype build-out and normalized to a per-acre �igure. Excluding operations and maintenance, like-for-like replacement that does not add capacity, programming, and rolling stock, the planning baseline for capacity-adding improvements is $900,000 per acre. This per-acre treatment scales directly with the acreage requirement generated by the level-of-service (LOS) standard.

Open Space (Land-Only) Unit Cost: Open Space is treated as land-only to acquire or protect recreation-supporting corridors (e.g., linear greenways and off-street trail linkages). California planning law generally de�ines “open-space land” as land or water that is essentially unimproved and devoted to open-space use, including natural resources, outdoor recreation, and public health and safety functions. Consistent with that framework, Open Space corridors are often constrained lands (for example, hillside areas, drainage corridors, buffers, or irregular parcels) that support access and resource protection but are not equivalent to park-ready sites intended for active park development.

To re�lect that these parcels typically transact below park-ready sites, the study applies a land valuation factor equal to two-thirds of the parkland land fair market value, resulting in an Open Space unit cost of $233,333 per acre. Any construction needed to activate Open Space corridors (paving, trailheads, lighting, way�inding) is funded under the Parks improvements cost basis when it adds usable capacity.

Use in Calculations: For Parks (non-subdivision, AB-1600), the study applies the adopted LOS of

1.183 acres per 1,000 residents to net-new residents to determine added park acres. Net-new residents are calculated by housing type using persons-per-household (Single-Family Residential:

3.461; Multiple-Family Residential: 2.728; Mobile Home Dwelling Units: 1.541). Required acres are calculated as (net-new residents × 1.183 ÷ 1,000). The study prices parkland at $350,000 (land) + $900,000 (improvements) = $1,250,000 per acre. The AB-1600 cost per 1,000 residents is calculated as ($1,250,000 × 1.183), and the cost per additional resident is that value ÷ 1,000. The cost per additional resident is then multiplied by the applicable persons-per-household to derive cost per unit by housing type. For purposes of converting cost per unit to cost per residential square foot, the study uses average dwelling unit sizes of 2,304 square feet for Single-Family Residential, 926 square feet for Multiple-Family Residential, and 1,250 square feet for Mobile Home Dwelling Units, consistent with the residential assumptions used throughout the report. The resulting costs are expressed on a per-square-foot basis, consistent with AB-602.

For Parks (subdivision, Quimby), the study applies the same resident-based approach to determine parkland demand using the Quimby standard of 3.000 acres per 1,000 residents. Required acres are calculated as (net-new residents × 3.000 ÷ 1,000). The same $1,250,000 per acre cost basis is used to translate the acreage requirement into land dedication and/or in-lieu value; however, Quimby is administered separately and does not translate the requirement into a development impact fee. 204

14.E.

Chapter 12 Parkland and Open Space Acquisition and Facilities Improvements City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report For Open Space – Residential, the study applies the resident-based Open Space standard of 5.392 acres per 1,000 residents to net-new residents, calculates required acres as (net-new residents ×

5.392 ÷ 1,000), prices the resulting acres at $233,333 per acre, and translates to cost per resident, cost per unit by housing type using the applicable persons-per-household, and cost per residential square foot using the same average dwelling unit sizes stated above, consistent with AB-602.

For Open Space – Nonresidential, impacts are expressed as $/SF using an intensity method: the Open Space cost per developed acre is divided by the average existing square feet per developed acre for each nonresidential land use category (and, where appropriate, expressed per Room for Commercial Lodging Rooms). The nonresidential intensity basis uses 0.0815 acres of Open Space per privately held developed acre. Regional park participation is addressed separately via the �ixed 16.3% allocation of Parks DIF receipts for capacity-enhancing improvements at the regional facility; it is excluded from the City’s park acreage and LOS.

Indexing: All unit costs are stated in current study-year dollars. The improvement baseline is indexed annually under the City’s construction cost index. Land fair market value (FMV) baselines (parkland and Open Space) are policy values subject to recalibration in future nexus updates when market evidence or adopted planning benchmarks are revised.

Existing Financial Commitment
This section explains how existing fee revenues and credits are treated so that growth pays only its proportional share. Existing balances that have already been collected for Parks are recognized as capacity that is already in hand, and development-provided land or improvements that meet this chapter’s eligibility may receive credits or reimbursement, as applicable, under clear, auditable rules.

Parks Fund Balance Treatment: Existing Parks impact fee balances are converted to a capacityequivalent dollar amount by multiplying the equivalent acres recognized in the park inventory by the combined park cost per acre established in this study (parkland fair market value (FMV) plus capacity-adding improvements). The current Parks DIF fund balance of $3,310,852. This amount is deducted from the gross growth-related program cost before allocating remaining costs to new development, ensuring that new development is not charged for capacity already funded through prior collections. The gross program cost of $60,268,226 less the $3,310,852 fund balance deduction yields a net DIF-eligible cost of $56,957,374. Balances are maintained in the City’s accounting system with legacy subledgers for audit trail and are disclosed in the annual AB-1600 report and the �iveyear �indings.

Open Space Balance Treatment: No dedicated Open Space balance is reported at this time; therefore, there is no capacity credit to apply. Going forward, Open Space contributions will be tracked within the citywide fund in a distinct accounting line so that residential and nonresidential receipts and uses remain traceable and auditable.

14.E.

Chapter 12 Parkland and Open Space Acquisition and Facilities Improvements City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Regional Park Participation Balances: Regional Park participation (the 16.3% allocation to the Valley-Wide facility) is tracked in a separate accounting line and disclosed for transparency. Because the regional facility is not part of the City’s park inventory or level of service (LOS), any regional balance is not converted to City park capacity and does not offset the City’s Parks LOS calculations. It is applied exclusively to eligible capacity-enhancing improvements at the regional facility.

Derivation of Maximum Justi�ied Fees
Fees are derived and expressed in accordance with Assembly Bill 602 (AB-602), so results are stated per square foot. For Parks, the calculation is resident-based and applies to residential development.

For Open Space, the calculation applies to both residential and nonresidential development, with residential expressed per square foot by housing type and nonresidential expressed per square foot by land use category. All steps use the study-year costs in the Cost Basis section and the service standards in Standards and Application.

Residential — Parks (Non-Subdivision): Required park acreage is determined by applying the Parks standard of 1.183 acres per 1,000 residents to net-new residents. The resulting acres are priced using the combined per-acre park cost (land plus improvements) to determine a cost per resident, translated to a cost per unit using persons-per-household for Single-Family Residential, MultipleFamily Residential, and Mobile Home Dwelling Units, and then to a cost per square foot by dividing by the average dwelling square footage for each housing type. For mixed-use development, only the residential component is subject to the Parks fee.

Residential — Open Space: The residential Open Space amount is derived using the Open Space standard of 5.392 acres per 1,000 residents applied to net-new residents. The resulting acres are priced using the Open Space land-only cost per acre to determine a cost per resident, then a cost per unit using persons-per-household by housing type, and �inally a cost per square foot by dividing by the average dwelling square footage for each housing type.

Nonresidential — Open Space: Nonresidential Open Space is expressed as dollars per square foot by land use category. The calculation divides the Open Space land-only cost per developed acre by the average existing square feet per developed acre for each nonresidential category, producing a rate per square foot. For lodging uses where appropriate, the contribution is expressed per lodging unit using the same land-only basis and the applicable intensity assumption.

Subdivision — Parks (Quimby): For subdivisions, the City administers Quimby requirements as parkland dedication, in-lieu fee, or a combination, using a standard of 3.000 acres per 1,000 residents as authorized by Gov. Code § 66477 (Quimby Act). This Quimby standard is distinct from the Mitigation Fee Act framework that governs the non-subdivision Parks impact fee. Dedicated land is valued at the current fair market value (FMV) and must meet this chapter’s eligibility, and in-lieu fees are programmed consistent with statutory geographic and timing requirements. To prevent doublecounting where both mechanisms apply, the City recognizes Quimby contributions �irst for their eligible purpose and then assesses the non-subdivision Parks impact fee only for remaining, nonduplicative, growth-related costs. 206

Chapter 12 Parkland and Open Space Acquisition and Facilities Improvements City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Regional Park Participation — Fixed Allocation (Non-Rate Component): The City’s regional park participation continues under the arrangement with the Valley-Wide Recreation & Park District for the Diamond Valley Lake Community Park. This regional facility is not included in the City’s park inventory or level-of-service (LOS) and therefore is not used in the fee derivation. Instead, the City contributes a �ixed 16.3% allocation of Parks DIF receipts, applied after the Parks residential fee is calculated under AB-602. These funds are restricted to capacity-enhancing improvements that expand usable recreation capacity serving City residents. The regional participation is tracked in a separate accounting line (Fund 362) for AB-1600 reporting, ensuring transparency and preventing commingling with City park revenues. This proportional-participation structure satis�ies the nexus requirement without altering the per square foot fee calculation or the City’s LOS basis.

Mixed-Use, Change of Use, and Additions: Mixed-use projects are assessed by category, with only the residential portion subject to the Parks residential fee and both residential and nonresidential components subject to Open Space as applicable. Changes of use and additions are assessed on the net increase in impact relative to the prior legal use.

Rounding and Presentation: Fees are presented per square foot; see Administrative Provisions:

Rounding and Publication for rounding and publication rules.

Capital Program and Eligibility
The capital program identi�ies the growth-eligible projects and de�ines what costs qualify for Parks and for Open Space. Projects are selected to maintain the City’s adopted service standards as development occurs, and each appropriation will be documented elsewhere in this chapter to preserve a clear audit trail under the Mitigation Fee Act.

Eligibility Test — Parks: Parks funds may be used for parkland acquisition and for capital improvements that add usable recreation capacity to the City’s park system. Eligible work includes site acquisition; site preparation and utility extensions; multi-purpose turf and hardscape areas; �ields and courts; destination playgrounds; restrooms and support buildings; lighting and fencing; internal paths and trailheads; irrigation; and accessibility features necessary to place new capacity into service. Planning, environmental review, design, permitting, construction management, and prudent contingencies are eligible when they are capitalized to deliver new capacity. Operations and routine maintenance, programming, rolling stock, and like-for-like replacements that do not add capacity are not eligible.

Eligibility Test — Open Space: Open Space funds are used for the acquisition of land or property interests that support recreation access and connectivity, including linear greenways and off-street trail corridors that are suitable for recreation or park use. The Open Space component is a land-only program, where development of recreation facilities is required to make an acquired corridor usable; those construction costs are treated under the Parks improvements cost basis if they add capacity.

Landscaping or aesthetic work that does not create usable recreation capacity is not eligible. 207

Chapter 12 Parkland and Open Space Acquisition and Facilities Improvements City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Quimby Interface — Eligible Uses and Coordination: Quimby requirements may be satis�ied through parkland dedication, in-lieu fees, or a combination. Quimby contributions may be used to acquire or develop neighborhood or community park and recreation facilities that will serve the subdivision, and—where statutory conditions and �indings are met—to rehabilitate existing park facilities. This chapter coordinates Quimby with the non-subdivision Parks impact fee by recognizing Quimby contributions �irst for their eligible purpose and then applying the Parks impact fee only to remaining, non-duplicative, growth-related costs. The City will make any required geographic and service �indings at appropriation to ensure compliance with the Subdivision Map Act.

Project Listing and Tags: The capital program provides a citywide list of growth-eligible projects that implement this chapter. Each listed project is tagged as Citywide or Legacy-eligible for transition purposes. The list may be expanded or re�ined by Council action, provided added projects meet the eligibility tests in this section and are consistent with maintaining the adopted service standards.

Programming and Prioritization: Appropriations are considered only for projects that add usable recreation capacity. Among those eligible projects, priority is given to locations that score highest under the Parks Master Plan’s access and equity framework while maintaining the adopted service standards.

Land Dedication and Site Control: Where a development dedicates parkland that meets the eligibility criteria of this chapter, the land is credited at fair market value and can be incorporated into the capital program. For City acquisitions, fee revenues may be combined with grants or other sources to assemble sites of suf�icient size and con�iguration to function as neighborhood or community parks or as eligible open space corridors.

Soft Costs and Delivery: Capital soft costs that are integral to delivering new capacity are allowable within the Parks improvements cost basis, including planning, environmental clearance, design, permitting, construction management, and prudent contingencies. These costs are tracked by project to support clear crediting and reimbursement.

Replacement and Rehabilitation: Replacement or rehabilitation projects are eligible only when they create additional usable recreation capacity, such as converting underutilized space to multi-use courts or expanding a facility’s functional area. Work that merely restores existing capacity without expansion is not eligible under this fee.

Joint and Partnership Projects: Projects delivered with schools, other public agencies, or nonpro�its are eligible where they add recreation capacity that is available to City residents under enforceable joint-use or access agreements. The fee contribution is limited to the proportional share of capacity made available to the public consistent with this chapter.

Project List: This subsection presents the growth-eligible capital program for Parks and Open Space as program-level, citywide entries. For Parks, the program aggregates all AB-1600 receipts to acquire new parkland and construct capacity-adding park facilities needed to maintain the adopted level of service. For Open Space, the program aggregates receipts to acquire land or property interests that support recreation access and connectivity; if construction is later required to create usable recreation capacity, those improvements are delivered under the Parks component.

Credits, Reimbursements, and In-Lieu
This section establishes how development-provided land and improvements are recognized, how reimbursements may be issued when a project delivers more than its fee obligation, and how Quimby subdivision obligations are coordinated so costs are not duplicated. Credits apply only to eligible, capacity-adding parkland or improvements under the Parks component, or to land acquisition (landonly) under the Open Space component, and are calculated using the valuation methods in this chapter. Credits are applied against the corresponding component and are not interchangeable between Parks and Open Space or across nonresidential land use categories for Open Space. Credits do not fund operations, maintenance, or like-for-like replacements that do not increase usable capacity.

Land Dedication Credits: Where a development dedicates parkland that meets this chapter’s eligibility, the City grants a credit valued at the current fair market value (FMV) for park-suitable sites (by appraisal or other City-accepted valuation). Eligibility includes appropriate size, con�iguration, and characteristics to function as neighborhood/community parkland consistent with the level of service. For Open Space, qualifying land or property interests that provide recreation access/connectivity are credited on a land-only basis. Credits may be adjusted for encumbrances, unusable areas, or conditions that limit recreation capacity.

Construction Credits (Parks only): When a development constructs capacity-adding park improvements, the City grants a credit for documented eligible construction cost (approved engineer’s estimate, awarded bid, or veri�ied costs). Improvements must add usable recreation capacity; cosmetic upgrades, routine maintenance, and like-for-like replacement are ineligible.

Construction to activate Open Space corridors is credited under Parks only if it adds capacity; Open Space remains a land-only program.

Application and Limits: Credits are applied to the corresponding component at permit issuance or another City-de�ined milestone and may not exceed the fee otherwise due for that component unless a reimbursement agreement is executed. Credits are recorded to preserve the audit trail required by the Mitigation Fee Act and are applied before calculating any residual fee for the same component and project phase. Credits are not interchangeable between components or (for Open Space) across nonresidential land use categories.

Chapter 12 Parkland and Open Space Acquisition and Facilities Improvements City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Reimbursements: If a developer delivers growth-eligible facilities exceeding the project’s creditable obligation and the improvement or acquisition appears on, or is added to, this chapter’s capital program, the City may enter into a reimbursement agreement, subject to fund availability, priority, and Council approval. Agreements identify the eligible scope, the documented cost basis, and repayment terms, and must avoid double-counting.

Quimby Coordination (Sequencing and Double-Counting Guardrail): Quimby subdivision obligations under the Subdivision Map Act are administered separately from this impact fee. Where both mechanisms apply to a project, the City recognizes Quimby land dedication or in-lieu �irst for its eligible purpose; the non-subdivision Parks impact fee is then assessed only on any remaining, nonduplicative growth-related costs. This sequencing formalizes the process and prevents overlap between Quimby obligations and the Parks DIF.

Administration of Quimby Act credits (including eligibility and the amount of credit applied to a subdivision’s Quimby obligation) is determined through the City’s subdivision review and implementation procedures. Adoption of the Parks DIF does not modify Quimby requirements or Quimby crediting; for subdivision projects, Quimby obligations and any eligible credits are applied �irst, and the Parks DIF is assessed only to the extent it funds remaining, non-duplicative growthrelated costs.

For example, if a subdivision constructs a private park and the City determines that a portion of that private park quali�ies for Quimby credit under the City’s subdivision procedures (including any administrative limits historically applied to private-park crediting), that eligible credit is applied �irst toward the project’s Quimby obligation. The Parks DIF is then assessed only for any remaining, nonduplicative growth-related cost not satis�ied through Quimby, to prevent double-counting.

Regional Participation (Credits/In-Lieu/Reimbursement Inapplicable): The regional park participation is a �ixed 16.3% allocation of Parks DIF receipts and is not a rate-derived, project-level obligation. Credits, in lieu, or reimbursements do not apply to the regional allocation and may not offset it. Regional funds are accounted for in a separate line and are restricted to capacity-enhancing improvements at the regional facility; they do not enter City LOS math or Quimby calculations.

Documentation: Each credit or reimbursement is memorialized in a written instrument identifying the facility or land, the eligible scope, the valuation method, and the fee component to which the credit applies. Records must demonstrate that credited or reimbursed items add usable recreation capacity, meet this chapter’s eligibility, and align with the adopted level-of-service standards.

Chapter 12 Parkland and Open Space Acquisition and Facilities Improvements City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Regional Park Allocation: A portion of the City’s Parks Development Impact Fee (DIF) is allocated to the Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District for capacity-enhancing regional park improvements.

This allocation equals 16.3% of total Parks DIF receipts and is not an additional fee. For clarity, the

16.3% allocation is an internal allocation of Parks DIF receipts only; it is not combined with Open Space fees and does not apply to the Open Space program. It represents the City’s proportional participation in regional recreation facilities such as Diamond Valley Lake Community Park, which serve City residents. The 16.3% allocation is applied automatically to all Parks DIF collections and tracked in a separate accounting line for regional projects.

Administrative Provisions
Overview: This section sets the rules for how fees are calculated, collected, indexed, documented, and administered so the program remains consistent, auditable, and simple to apply in day-to-day permitting.

Adoption and Effective Date: Fees are established by ordinance and become effective as provided by law. Applications that are vested or deemed complete before the effective date are processed under the prior rules; all others use this chapter. Subdivision park requirements are administered separately under the Subdivision Map Act.

Point of Collection: For development subject to this chapter, fees are calculated using the schedules in effect on the date of permit issuance and are collected at building permit issuance unless City procedures specify an earlier milestone. For phased projects, fees are calculated and collected by phase based on the �loor area or units permitted in each phase. Payment timing conforms to Gov. Code §66007; fees are due at building permit unless otherwise provided by ordinance or agreement, and the City may allow collection at �inal inspection/certi�icate of occupancy or earlier by agreement.

Calculation Inputs: Applicants must provide �loor area by use category and housing type so the City can apply the per square foot schedules under AB-602. See Standards & Application and Use in Calculations for persons-per-household, average dwelling square footage, and the nonresidential Open Space intensity basis (rates expressed as $/SF by land use category, and per Room for lodging where applicable).

Mixed-Use, Change of Use, and Additions: Apply per Standards & Application: Application Rules (category-by-category assessment and net-increase methodology). Only the residential component is subject to the Parks residential fee; Open Space applies to residential and nonresidential components as speci�ied.

Indexing: The City updates fee schedules once each year using its adopted indexing approach. For the Parks program, only the improvements component is indexed annually using the City’s adopted Engineering News-Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index (CCI), or its successor if the City adopts a replacement. Land components—both parkland and Open Space—are not adjusted by ENR; instead, these planning values are revisited and recalibrated during a formal nexus study update to re�lect current market conditions and policy inputs. When a speci�ic credit or reimbursement requires a 213

14.E.

Chapter 12 Parkland and Open Space Acquisition and Facilities Improvements City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report current cost basis, the City may rely on veri�ied evidence such as an appraisal, approved engineer’s estimate, awarded bid, or documented costs for the eligible scope, provided the documentation aligns with this chapter’s eligibility and valuation rules.

Rounding and Publication: All computations use full precision. For publication, per square foot rates are shown to three decimals ($0.001), and project totals are shown to the dollar. Any per-unit amounts shown for reference are rounded to the nearest dollar. The City will publish the schedules and a plain-language guide showing how to read and apply them.

Credit Application Order (Quimby Coordination): Where both Quimby and non-subdivision Parks fees apply, Quimby land dedication or in-lieu is recognized �irst for its eligible purpose; the nonsubdivision Parks fee is then applied only to any remaining, non-duplicative growth-related costs.

Because the Quimby standard (3.000 acres/1,000 residents) exceeds the Parks standard used for the non-subdivision fee, the residual Parks fee after Quimby is typically minimal or zero for residential subdivisions. Credit mechanics, valuation evidence, and any reimbursements are administered under Credits, Reimbursements, and In-Lieu.

Regional Park Allocation (Administration Only): The regional facility is not part of the City’s park inventory or LOS and therefore does not have a separate rate or schedule. Instead, the City allocates

16.3% of total Parks DIF receipts to capacity-enhancing regional improvements. This allocation is applied after the Parks fee is calculated and collected, is not an additional fee, and is tracked in a separate accounting line for AB-1600 reporting. The allocation does not offset City Parks LOS calculations and does not apply to Open Space or Quimby.

Accounting, Reporting, and Five-Year Findings: The City maintains separate accounting lines for Parks, Open Space (residential and nonresidential components traceable), and the regional allocation. Existing balances and their application are disclosed in the AB-1600 Annual Report, and continued retention or use is addressed in the �ive-year �indings. Documentation supporting credits, in-lieu, and reimbursements (agreements, appraisals, engineer’s estimates, cost substantiation) is retained to preserve the audit trail.

Administrative Adjustments and Appeals: If an applicant believes a fee has been misapplied under this chapter (for example, an incorrect land use category or �loor-area measurement), the City may process an administrative adjustment based on substantial evidence submitted by the applicant.

Requests for adjustment must be made before fee payment. Appeals follow the procedures set out in the adopting ordinance and applicable law.

Severability and Interpretation: If any provision of this chapter is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Terms are interpreted to further the purpose of maintaining adopted levels of service and funding growth-related capacity consistent with this study.

Five Findings

1. Purpose of the Fee
214

14.E.

Chapter 12 Parkland and Open Space Acquisition and Facilities Improvements City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report The purpose of the fee is to fund the expansion of park capacity and the acquisition of open space necessary to maintain the City’s established service standards as new development occurs. The Parks component maintains the parkland level of service for residential growth; the Open Space component maintains recreation access and connectivity through land acquisition serving residential and nonresidential development as speci�ied in this chapter.

The City also participates in regional recreation through a �ixed 16.3% allocation of Parks DIF receipts; this is an allocation of revenues, not a separate fee.

2. Use of the Fee
Fee revenues will be used to �inance parkland acquisition and capacity-adding park improvements necessary to place new park capacity into service (e.g., multi-purpose turf and hardscape areas, �ields and courts, destination playgrounds, restrooms and support buildings, lighting and fencing, internal paths and trailheads, irrigation, and accessibility features). Fee revenues will also be used to acquire open space land or property interests suitable for recreation access and connectivity (e.g., linear greenways and off-street trail corridors). The Open Space component is land-only; if construction is later required to create usable recreation capacity on an acquired corridor, those improvements are delivered under the Parks component. Operations and maintenance, programming, rolling stock, landscaping, or aesthetic work that does not add capacity, and like-for-like replacements are not funded.

Subdivision park obligations under the Quimby Act are administered separately and credited to avoid double-counting.

3. Relationship Between the Fee’s Use and the Type of Development New residential development increases population and, therefore, demand for parkland and open space. Accordingly, the Parks component applies to residential development (nonsubdivision) and funds capacity that serves those residents. New residential and nonresidential development also increases the need for access/connectivity; accordingly, the Open Space component applies to both residential (resident-based) and nonresidential (intensity-based) development as speci�ied. Fee uses therefore match the types of development that create the need.

4. Relationship Between the Need for Facilities and the Type of Development Using net-new residents of 40,756, applying the Parks standard of 1.183 acres per 1,000 residents yields 48.214 acres of additional park capacity required. The existing Parks DIF fund balance of $3,310,852 is deducted from the gross program cost of $60,268,226, yielding a net DIF-eligible cost of $56,957,374 attributable to new development. For Open Space (Residential), applying the standard of 5.392 acres per 1,000 residents to the same net-new residents yields 219.757 acres of additional acquisition need.

For Open Space (Nonresidential), need is addressed on an intensity basis, with charges expressed as dollars per square foot by land use category (and, where appropriate, dollars per lodging unit) using the average existing square feet per developed acre. Because the Quimby subdivision standard (3.000 acres/1,000 residents) exceeds the Parks fee standard 215

14.E.

Chapter 12 Parkland and Open Space Acquisition and Facilities Improvements City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report (1.183 acres/1,000 residents), Quimby performance for subdivisions will typically satisfy— and may exceed—the park capacity represented in the non-subdivision Parks fee for the same population; the City therefore recognizes Quimby �irst and applies any non-subdivision Parks fee only to remaining, non-duplicative growth-related costs.

5. Relationship Between the Amount of the Fee and the Cost Attributable to Development The amount of each fee is proportional to the cost of the growth-related capacity it buys. For Parks, the analysis first prices the required park acreage using the study-year combined park cost per acre (land plus improvements). That total is allocated per resident, then translated to per unit by housing type using persons-per-household for Single-Family Residential, Multiple-Family Residential, and Mobile Home Dwelling Units, and finally expressed per square foot using average dwelling square footage, consistent with AB-602. For Open Space (Residential), required open space acres are priced at the land-only cost per acre, then allocated to cost per resident, cost per unit by housing type, and ultimately per square foot by housing type using average dwelling square footage.

For Open Space (Nonresidential), the schedule is derived by dividing the land-only cost per acre by the average existing square feet per developed acre for each nonresidential land use category (and, where appropriate, expressed per lodging unit). Credit rules ensure no payer funds the same capacity twice, and change-of-use and additions are assessed only on the net increase in impact. The City’s regional park participation is implemented as a fixed 16.3% allocation of Parks DIF receipts after fee calculation; it does not alter the per square foot rates or the level-of-service derivation.

The fee amounts set forth in this chapter represent the maximum justi�ied fees supported by this nexus analysis. The City Council retains full discretion to adopt fees at any amount at or below these maximums and may phase implementation, apply different rates to fee programs, or defer adoption of any component. Adoption of a fee within the justi�ied range is a policy decision of the City Council and does not require further nexus �indings.

Chapter 13
Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee
Purpose and Scope
Purpose: The Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee ensures that new market-rate residential and nonresidential development in the City of Hemet contributes its fair, proportional share toward the cost of affordable housing for the lower-income worker households that such development generates. New market-rate residential development generates lower-income worker household demand through the consumer spending it introduces into the local economy; new nonresidential development generates that demand through direct on-site employment. In both cases, the workers whose employment is attributable to new development earn wages that qualify them as lowerincome households under current California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) income limits, yet cannot afford market-rate housing in Hemet. This chapter establishes the maximum justified fee for each land use category and provides the required nexus findings under the Mitigation Fee Act.

Scope of Improvements: Fee revenues collected under this program will fund the planning, land acquisition, design, permitting, and construction of deed-restricted affordable housing units serving very low-income, low-income, and moderate-income households in the City of Hemet, consistent with income definitions established by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. Eligible uses include direct financial assistance to affordable housing developers, land acquisition for Housing Element sites, gap financing for deed-restricted projects serving households at or below 80 percent of Area Median Income, and program administration.

Scope of Beneficiaries: The direct beneficiaries of this fee program are the lower-income worker households generated by new market-rate development who require affordable housing at rents or prices below what their incomes support at standard affordability ratios. New market-rate residential development generates this demand through the employment it supports in the local service sector; new nonresidential development generates it through direct on-site hiring. Fee revenues are used to fund affordable housing capacity in proportion to the demand each type of development creates.

Scope of Nexus: The nexus for this fee is established through a Direct Employment Linkage methodology that traces a documented, step-by-step causal chain from new market-rate development to lower-income worker household demand for affordable housing. Each step uses publicly available government data and is independently verifiable. For residential development: (1) new market-rate households generate income at documented levels based on prevailing Hemet rents; (2) those households spend a documented share of income in the local economy; (3) that spending supports local service-sector employment at rates derived from Riverside County economic data published by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis; (4) the workers in those occupations earn wages qualifying them as lower-income households under HCD very low income limits for Riverside County; and (5) those households require affordable housing at a documented affordability gap per unit. For nonresidential development: (1) new buildings generate direct on-site employment at densities calibrated to Hemet’s adopted 2025 base-year employment from this study’s Chapter 2 217

14.E.

Chapter 13 Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report demographic framework; (2) a documented share of that employment falls in occupations earning below HCD very low income thresholds; and (3) those worker households require affordable housing proportional to the employment generated. In both chains, the fee is sized to fund only the proportional share of affordable housing demand directly attributable to the development paying the fee.

Statutory and Judicial Authority
Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code §§ 66000–66025). The Mitigation Fee Act establishes the framework under which cities may impose development impact fees on new development. For each fee program, the Act requires the City to make five findings at the time of adoption demonstrating the purpose of the fee, its use, and the reasonable relationship between the fee, the development paying it, and the public facility it funds. Those findings are documented in this chapter. The Act also requires that fee revenues be deposited in a separate fund, that annual reports be published, and that five-year findings be made for any unexpended balance.

Assembly Bill 1505 (2017) — Government Code §§ 65589.5 and 65913.4. Assembly Bill 1505 reaffirmed and clarified the authority of California cities to impose inclusionary housing requirements and jobs/housing linkage fees on both residential and nonresidential development.

Prior to AB 1505, the Court of Appeal’s decision in Palmer/Sixth Street Properties, L.P. v. City of Los Angeles (2009) 175 Cal.App.4th 1396 had created uncertainty regarding whether linkage fee obligations could be applied to market-rate residential rental development. AB 1505 resolved that uncertainty by expressly authorizing local agencies to impose affordable housing fees on residential development, including rental housing, as a condition of project approval. The residential linkage fee established in this chapter is imposed in reliance on that authority.

Assembly Bill 602 (2021) — Government Code § 66016.5. Assembly Bill 602 strengthens the Mitigation Fee Act by requiring standardized nexus methodologies, per-square-foot residential fee expression by structure type, and enhanced Capital Improvement Plan documentation. This chapter satisfies all AB 602 requirements applicable to the City of Hemet: residential fees are expressed on a per-square-foot basis by land use category, all demographic and employment assumptions are explicitly identified and consistently applied, and the nexus between new development and affordable housing demand is documented through independently verifiable data sources.

California Housing Element Law — Government Code § 65580 et seq. The City of Hemet’s HCDcertified 6th-Cycle Housing Element (2021–2029) commits the City to affirmatively further fair housing and, under Program H-2h, to conduct both a residential and a commercial/housing linkage fee nexus study as implementation measures. This chapter implements that commitment. The adoption of this fee program advances the statutory goals of Government Code § 65580, which declares that the availability of housing is of vital statewide importance and that every locality bears responsibility for providing its fair share of the regional housing need across all income levels.

San Remo Hotel v. City and County of San Francisco (2002) 27 Cal.4th 643. The California Supreme Court in San Remo Hotel affirmed the legal validity of jobs/housing linkage fees imposed on nonresidential development under the Mitigation Fee Act. The Court held that San Francisco’s 218

14.E.

Chapter 13 Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report commercial linkage fee satisfied the reasonable relationship requirements of Government Code § 66001 because the nexus study documented a step-by-step causal chain from new nonresidential development through employment generation to worker household demand for affordable housing.

San Remo Hotel is the controlling California authority for the nonresidential linkage fee chain established in this chapter.

Action Apartment Association v. City of Santa Monica (2007) 41 Cal.4th 1232. The California Supreme Court in Action Apartment Association affirmed the broad authority of local governments to impose fees on residential development to fund affordable housing, provided the nexus between the fee and the demand generated by new development is documented. The Court confirmed that the Mitigation Fee Act’s reasonable relationship standard is satisfied when a nexus study demonstrates that new market-rate residential development generates demand for affordable housing through the employment and economic activity it supports. This authority, read together with Assembly Bill 1505, establishes the complete legal foundation for the residential linkage fee chain in this chapter.

Existing Program
The City of Hemet does not currently levy a Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee. This chapter establishes the fee program for the first time, providing the legal and technical foundation required by the Mitigation Fee Act. The analysis identifies the affordable housing demand attributable to new development, quantifies that demand using a Direct Employment Linkage methodology, and derives a fee that ensures new development funds only its proportional share of the resulting affordability gap.

Fund Balance: No fund balance exists for this program. Upon adoption, the City will establish a dedicated Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee fund. All fee revenues and accrued interest will be deposited into this fund and expended only for the eligible purposes identified in this chapter.

Nexus Methodology Overview
This chapter applies a Direct Employment Linkage methodology to establish the nexus between new market-rate development and lower-income worker household demand for affordable housing. The methodology follows two parallel chains depending on development type.

Residential Linkage Chain (Steps 1–5)
• Step 1 — Household Income: Market-rate household income is derived from prevailing Hemet rents using the standard affordability ratio of 30 percent of gross income for rental housing (Health and Safety Code § 50052.5). Representative rents are based on U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Fair Market Rents for Riverside County (FY 2025): studio ($1,350/month), one-bedroom ($1,700/month), two-bedroom ($2,100/month), and three-bedroom ($2,650/month).
• Step 2 — Consumer Expenditures: Annual consumer expenditures are derived from gross household income by applying an expenditure ratio of 71 percent for rental households. This ratio is derived from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey, 2023, Table 1101 (Quintiles of income before taxes). Based on that table, actual expenditure-toincome ratios for households in the $84,000–$117,000 income range—the range corresponding to the Hemet residential prototypes—are approximately 75 to 92 percent. The 219

14.E.

Chapter 13 Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report 71 percent ratio applied in this study is therefore a conservative estimate that produces a lower maximum justified fee than the survey data would otherwise support. • Step 3 — Employment Generated: Local employment supported by resident household spending is estimated using an employment coefficient derived from U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) CAINC30 Economic Profile data for Riverside County (2024) and California Employment Development Department (EDD) Current Employment Statistics for the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) (2024 annual average). Riverside County’s 2024 personal income totaled $142,697,421 thousand for a resident population of 2,529,933, while the MSA supported 1,700,417 total nonfarm jobs. The resulting employment coefficient is 11.92 jobs per $1 million of personal income. • Step 4 — Lower-Income Worker Households: The share of regional employment in occupations earning below the Riverside County one-person very low income threshold ($39,200 per year, equivalent to $18.85 per hour) is derived from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) for the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario MSA (May 2024). Of 1,678,100 workers in the MSA with identifiable wage data, 488,360 have median wages below the very low income threshold, producing a lower-income worker share of 29.1 percent. The one-person very low income limit is the appropriate reference threshold because the nexus chain traces individual workers — not multi-person households — to a wage cutoff, making it both technically precise and the most directly defensible basis under the Mitigation Fee Act’s proportionality requirements. Net jobs are converted to lower-income worker households using a workers-per-workerhousehold ratio of 1.670, derived from ACS Table B08202 for Hemet city (2024 one-year estimates).
• Step 5 — Affordability Gap: The affordability gap is $161,000 per unit, representing the average local subsidy required to produce one deed-restricted affordable unit in Riverside County under current financing conditions. This figure is derived analytically from three published government sources: (a) California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC) 2024 Threshold Basis Limits for Riverside County establish a weighted average Total Development Cost (TDC) of $429,767 per unit for new construction garden-style projects; (b) available Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity totals approximately $139,244 per unit at standard 4% and supplemental state credit rates; and (c) supportable permanent debt of approximately $129,105 per unit, based on 2025 HCD maximum rents at 60% AMI for Riverside County at a 1.15x debt service coverage ratio. The resulting gap — TDC less equity less permanent debt — is $161,418, rounded to $161,000 for this study.

Nonresidential Linkage Chain (Steps A–C)
• Step A — Employment Density: New nonresidential buildings generate direct on-site employment at densities calibrated to Hemet’s adopted 2025 base-year employment using SCAG regional employment factors applied throughout this Nexus Study (Chapter 2, General Facilities chapter). The adopted densities are: Retail, Commercial & Service Uses, 0.79 workers per KSF; Industrial Uses, 0.75 workers per KSF; and Commercial Lodging, 0.50 workers per room.

Chapter 13 Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report • Step B — Lower-Income Worker Households: The same lower-income share of 29.1 percent and workers-per-worker-household ratio of 1.670 applied in the residential chain are applied here to convert lower-income workers to lower-income worker households, ensuring consistency across both fee chains.
• Step C — Fee Derivation: The maximum justified fee per square foot is calculated by multiplying lower-income worker households per 1,000 square feet by the $161,000 affordability gap per unit and dividing by 1,000 to convert to a per-square-foot basis.

Residential Linkage Fee
Development Prototypes
Two residential categories are used for fee calculation, consistent with the land use structure established in Chapter 2 of this study: Single-Family Residential and Multiple-Family Residential.

Single-Family Residential is represented by the three-bedroom unit prototype, reflecting the predominant unit type in Hemet’s single-family pipeline per the City’s 6th-Cycle Housing Element.

Multiple-Family Residential is represented by the two-bedroom prototype, consistent with the dominant unit type in Hemet’s multifamily development pipeline. 221

Chapter 13 Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Fee Derivation
The fee for each residential category is derived by: (1) calculating gross household income from the representative market rent using a 30 percent rent-to-income ratio; (2) applying the 71 percent consumer expenditure ratio to yield annual expenditures; (3) multiplying by the employment coefficient to yield gross jobs per unit; (4) multiplying by the 29.1 percent lower-income worker share; (5) dividing by the 1.670 workers-per-worker-household ratio to yield lower-income worker households per unit; (6) multiplying by the $161,000 affordability gap; and (7) dividing by the adopted average unit size (Single-Family Residential 2,304 square feet; Multiple-Family Residential 926 square feet, consistent with Appendix D of this study) to yield the fee per square foot.

Note: The higher per-square-foot fee for Multiple-Family Residential reflects the greater resident density per square foot of floor area in smaller multifamily units, which generates more consumer spending and associated employment demand per square foot of building area. This relationship is consistent with the per-square-foot fee structure required by Assembly Bill 602.

Nonresidential Linkage Fee
Fee Derivation
The fee for each nonresidential land use category is derived by: (1) applying the SCAG-calibrated employment density to yield workers per 1,000 square feet (or per room for lodging); (2) multiplying by the 29.1 percent lower-income worker share; (3) dividing by the 1.670 workers-per-workerhousehold ratio to yield lower-income worker households per 1,000 square feet; (4) multiplying by the $161,000 affordability gap; and (5) dividing by 1,000 to yield the fee per square foot. 222

Note: Employment densities for Retail, Commercial & Service Uses and Industrial Uses are derived from SCAG regional employment factors calibrated to Hemet’s 2025 base-year total employment, consistent with the methodology applied in Chapter 9 (General Facilities) of this study. The Institutional Uses density of 4.0 workers per 1,000 square feet reflects the private institutional land use category as defined in Chapter 2 — comprising private hospitals, skilled nursing and assisted living facilities, private schools, and private care facilities — and is consistent with ITE employment generation benchmarks and BLS OEWS data for healthcare support occupations in the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario MSA.

Commercial Lodging density reflects 0.50 workers per keyed room, consistent with regional nexus study practice and the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey.

Note on the Institutional Uses Maximum Justified Fee
The maximum justified fee for Institutional Uses ($112.23 per square foot) is substantially higher than the fees for Retail, Commercial & Service Uses ($22.16 per square foot) and Industrial Uses ($21.04 per square foot). This result is not an error in the methodology. It reflects two structural characteristics of private institutional development that are independently verifiable from the data sources cited in this chapter.

First, private institutional uses are unusually labor-intensive per square foot. The adopted employment density of 4.0 workers per 1,000 square feet — applicable to private hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living centers, and private schools — is approximately five times the density of retail and industrial uses in Hemet. BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics for the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario MSA confirm that healthcare support occupations account for the largest single concentration of lower-income workers in the regional labor market, with median wages for nursing aides ($18.42 per hour), home health aides ($17.53 per hour), and dietary and food preparation workers ($16.80 per hour) all near the $18.85 per hour very low income threshold for a one-person Riverside County household.

Second, the private institutional workforce is heavily concentrated in direct-care and support occupations. For retail and industrial uses, the 29.1 percent lower-income worker share reflects a 223

14.E.

Chapter 13 Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report mixed workforce that includes both lower-wage frontline workers and higher-wage management and technical staff. Private institutional uses in Hemet — concentrated in the healthcare and elder care sectors given Hemet’s demographics — employ a workforce that is predominantly in direct-care and support roles. The 29.1 percent regional share applied in this study is therefore conservative for institutional uses specifically. A sector-specific derivation confirms this: BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics for the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario MSA (May 2024) show that Healthcare Support occupations (SOC major group 31) — the dominant workforce in private hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and assisted living centers — have a lower-income worker share of 72.6 percent in this labor market, reflecting the concentration of home health aides ($16.00 per hour median), physical therapist aides ($16.62 per hour), and related direct-care positions at or below the $18.85 per hour very low income threshold. Combining Healthcare Practitioners (SOC 29) and Healthcare Support (SOC 31), the blended lower-income share for the institutional workforce is

43.3 percent. Under either measure, the regional 29.1 percent share understates the lower-income concentration in institutional workplaces, meaning the $112.23 per square foot maximum justified fee is itself conservative relative to what a sector-specific analysis would produce.

The high maximum justified fee is a ceiling, not a recommended adopted fee. The City retains full discretion to set the adopted fee at any amount at or below the maximum justified ceiling. In recognition of the community benefit that private hospitals, care facilities, and educational institutions provide to Hemet residents, the Council may determine that a reduced adopted fee is appropriate for this category. An adopted fee in the range of 10 to 20 percent of the maximum justified ceiling, or approximately $11 to $22 per square foot, would be consistent with the policy approach taken by other California cities that have adopted jobs/housing linkage fees for healthcare and institutional uses.

The fees presented in Table 13-3 represent the maximum justified amounts supported by this nexus analysis. The City retains full discretion to adopt fees at or below these levels as a matter of policy.

Inland Empire cities that have adopted jobs/housing linkage fees have typically set adopted fees at 10 to 30 percent of the maximum justified ceiling, reflecting local market conditions and development feasibility considerations.

Existing Community Financial Commitment
There is no prior Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee program in Hemet, and accordingly no fund balance or existing investment to document for comparison purposes under this program. The nexus analysis is self-contained: the fee is sized exclusively to the affordable housing demand attributable to each category of new development, based on the published data sources identified in this chapter.

For context, Hemet’s 2025 HCD income limits establish a four-person Area Median Income of $103,900 — approximately 65 percent of Alameda County’s $159,800 AMI. The structurally lower wage and income levels in the Inland Empire produce a lower employment coefficient, a lower affordability gap, and lower maximum justified fees than comparable studies in Bay Area jurisdictions, consistent with the proportionality requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act. 225

Chapter 13 Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Five Findings
In accordance with Government Code § 66001(a), the following findings support imposition of the Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee for residential and nonresidential development in the City of Hemet.

1. Purpose of the Fee
The purpose of the Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee is to fund the planning, land acquisition, design, permitting, and construction of deed-restricted affordable housing units for lower-income households in the City of Hemet. The fee is imposed because new market-rate residential and nonresidential development generates lower-income worker household demand for affordable housing, as documented by the Direct Employment Linkage methodology in this chapter. Fee revenues are used exclusively to fund affordable housing capacity proportional to the demand attributable to the development paying the fee.

2. Use of the Fee
Fee revenues will be deposited into the City’s Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee fund, maintained as a separate account pursuant to Government Code § 66006. Revenues will be used for eligible affordable housing production activities, including financial assistance to affordable housing developers, land acquisition for sites identified in the City’s 6th-Cycle Housing Element, gap financing for deed-restricted projects serving households at or below 80 percent of Area Median Income, and program administration. Revenues may not be used for market-rate housing, operational costs, or any purpose not directly related to affordable housing production or preservation. The City will publish annual AB 1600 reports and make the required five-year findings for any unexpended balance.

3. Relationship Between the Fee’s Use and the Type of Development Fee revenues will be used to fund affordable housing for the lower-income worker households attributable to new market-rate development. The Direct Employment Linkage methodology documented in this chapter establishes each link in the causal chain: new development generates household spending or on-site employment; that activity supports employment in occupations whose workers qualify as very low-income households under HCD income limits for Riverside County; and fee revenues fund affordable housing for those worker households. The use of the fee corresponds to the category of demand the development creates.

4. Relationship Between the Need for the Facility and the Type of Development New market-rate residential development generates worker household demand for affordable housing through the employment linkage chain documented in this chapter. New nonresidential development generates worker household demand through direct on-site employment. The number of lower-income worker households attributable to each development type is quantified in Tables 13-1 and 13-2. The need for affordable housing at the income levels generated by new development is documented by the HCD 2025 income limits for Riverside County, which establish that workers in the service, retail, and industrial 226

14.E.

Chapter 13 Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee
City of Hemet 2026–27 Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report occupations generated by new development earn wages at or below the very low income threshold for a one-person Riverside County household.

5. Relationship Between the Amount of the Fee and the Cost Attributable to Development The amount of the fee is calculated by multiplying the number of lower-income worker households generated per unit of development by the $161,000 affordability gap per unit, and dividing by the applicable unit size (for residential) or development quantum (for nonresidential). The $161,000 affordability gap is derived analytically from CTCAC 2024 Threshold Basis Limits, HCD 2025 rent limits, and standard LIHTC financing assumptions, as documented in this chapter. No development type is charged more than the proportional share of the affordability gap attributable to the lower-income worker households it generates.

Implementation, Compliance, and Notes
Adoption and Program Structure: The City will adopt the Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee by City Council action at a noticed public hearing, consistent with Government Code §§ 66016 and 66018. This chapter establishes the maximum justified fee for each development type; the adopted fee is a policy determination made at the public hearing. The City retains full discretion to adopt fees at or below the maximum justified levels and to phase in changes over time.

Fund Accounting and Reporting: A separate Jobs/Housing Linkage Fee fund will be established. All fee revenues and interest will be deposited into this account and expended only for the eligible purposes identified in this chapter. The City will publish the annual AB 1600 report (Government Code § 66006) and make the five-year findings required by Government Code § 66001(d). If the City cannot make the required five-year findings, any remaining balances must be refunded as provided by law.

Timing of Collection: Pursuant to Government Code § 66007, as amended by Senate Bill 937 (effective January 1, 2025), fees on designated residential development projects may not be collected until the date of final inspection or the date the certificate of occupancy is issued, whichever occurs first. For nonresidential development and residential projects that do not qualify as designated residential development projects, fees are collected at building permit issuance.

Net New Fee Application: Fees are assessed on net new development consistent with the methodology established in Appendix E of this study. When a project demolishes or replaces existing development, the fee is assessed only on the net incremental increase in floor area or units above the prior legal use.

Annual Indexing: The fee schedule will be indexed annually using the Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index or a comparable index adopted by the City Council, consistent with standard Hemet DIF program practice.

Use of Funds: Expenditures are limited to eligible affordable housing production and preservation activities as defined in this chapter. Routine operations, market-rate housing, and any purpose not directly related to affordable housing production are not eligible. 227

It supplements Chapter 2 with full methods, category definitions, quality assurance (QA), and a worked application pattern. The approach is designed to meet transparency and proportionality standards under the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code §§ 66000 et seq.) and AB602.

Data Sources & “Fixed Household Structure” Approach
Primary data are the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2019–2023 fiveyear estimates for Hemet. Households by structure type come from ACS Table B25032, and population in occupied housing units by structure type comes from ACS Table B25033.

Because ACS B25033 groups '1, detached or attached' together, the population is apportioned between detached and attached in proportion to the household shares in B25032. After alignment, the three adopted categories ('buckets') are: Single-Family Residential (1-unit detached), Multiple-Family Residential (1-unit attached + multi-unit structures), and MobileHome Dwelling Units.

Inputs used for Hemet: ACS five-year B25032 and B25033; owner-occupied + renteroccupied; three-bucket method; Alternative Scaled Method is available when a Housing Element growth target is provided (not applied here).

Category Definitions (“Buckets”)
• Single-Family Residential (SFR): One-unit, detached structures. • Multiple-Family Residential (MFR): One-unit attached + all multi-unit structures (2– 4, 5–9, 10–19, 20–49, 50+).
• Mobile-Home Dwelling Units (MH): Manufactured/mobile homes as defined by ACS.

Calculation Method
For each category (c): PPHc = Populationc (aligned B25033) ÷ Householdsc (B25032).

Population in the combined '1, detached or attached' bucket (B25033) is split between detached and attached using the household shares from B25032 to preserve the ACS total while aligning categories.

Hemet — Step-by-Step (from ACS B25032/B25033)

1. Form household buckets (B25032, owner+renter):
- SFR (detached): 17,487 households
- MFR (attached + 2–4 + 5+): 7,070 households
- MH: 7,385 households
237

14.E.

2. Align population by structure (B25033):
- Allocate '1, detached or attached' persons between detached vs. attached using household shares.
- SFR persons: 60,513.93; MFR persons: 19,287.07; MH persons: 11,377.00.

3. Compute PPH (persons ÷ households):
- SFR: 3.4605
- MFR: 2.7280
- MH: 1.5406

Results — Adopted PPH Factors (ACS 2019–2023, Hemet)
Residential Category Persons per Household (PPH)
Single-Family Residential (SFR, 1-detached) 3.4605
Multiple-Family Residential (MFR, attached + multiunit) 2.7280 Mobile-Home Dwelling Units (MH) 1.5406
Application in the Fee Program
• Establishing the Standard: PPH converts new housing units into the number of new residents added to the city. That projected population growth defines the level of service standard for facilities like public meeting spaces, libraries, and parks and open space.
• Sizing Future Needs: Those additional residents are used to calculate how much new facility space, collection area, or park acreage is needed to maintain the city’s existing quality of life standard as growth occurs.
238

14.E.

Sensitivity, Reasonableness & Quality Assurance (QA)
• Five-year ACS is used for city-level stability and reproducibility. • Apportionment rule (B25033 → detached/attached using B25032 shares) is deterministic and preserves ACS totals.
• DP02 may be used as a citywide reasonableness check, but is not used for bucket calculations.
• Quality Assurance (QA) refers to internal verification steps confirming that:
- Household and population totals reconcile between ACS B25032 and B25033. - PPH factors are computed with consistent decimal precision. - Any subsequent scaling (Alternative Scaled Method) preserves the relative ratios among categories.
• If a Housing Element growth target is adopted, the Alternative Scaled Method can be applied to proportionally scale the three PPH values while preserving ratios, so the blended result matches the target.

APPENDIX D

AVERAGE RESIDENTIAL UNIT SIZE
240

14.E.

Appendix D — Average Residential Unit Size (AUS)
Purpose
This appendix documents the adopted Average Residential Unit Sizes (AUS) used in the Hemet Development Impact Fee study to convert between dollars per dwelling unit ($/DU) and dollars per square foot ($/SF). These values support transparent, replicable fee calculations under the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code §§ 66000 et seq.) and AB‑602.

Scope
Applies to residential land use categories: Single‑Family Residential, Multiple‑Family Residential, and Mobile Home Dwelling Units. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are covered in a separate appendix.

Method & Justification
Average unit sizes are derived solely from public Hemet records and adopted planning documents. Each adopted value represents interior living area (square feet per dwelling unit), computed as a unit‑weighted average of observed products. Atypical outliers were excluded. The public sources below provide the basis for each residential category.

Public Data Sources
• Hemet Municipal Code, Chapter 90 — Zoning, Article XX — Mobile Home Parks, Sec. 90‑656(1) “Interior Site Development (Mobile home spaces).” Establishes minimum mobile home space area of 4,400 sq ft, minimum space width of 40 ft along a public/private street, and minimum space dimensions of 55 ft × 80 ft. These standards support the typical double‑wide configuration used as the public basis for the mobile home AUS. • Seasons at McSweeny Farms (SDR 20‑001, City of Hemet, 2020): plan areas for Agate, Lapis, and Tourmaline models. These plan sizes are averaged (arithmetic mean) to derive the single‑family AUS.
• Aster River Oaks (SDR 23‑001; IS‑MND, City of Hemet, 2024): unit areas and counts for 228 apartments (Table 2). A unit‑weighted average of the mix is used to derive the multiple‑family AUS.
• Hemet Housing Element (HCD‑certified draft, 2021–2029): residential definitions and permitted housing types consistent with the study’s land use framework. 241

Each AUS is a unit‑weighted average: AUS = Σ(units × area) ÷ Σ(units). Values are maintained at full precision internally and rounded to whole square feet for publication.

Examples
• A multi‑family fee of $10,000 per dwelling unit equals $10,000 ÷ 926 = $10.80 per square foot.
• A single‑family fee of $14 per square foot equals 2,304 × $14 = $32,256 per dwelling unit. 242

APPENDIX E

NET NEW FEE APPLICATION
243

14.E.

Appendix E — Net New Fee Application
Purpose
This appendix documents the City of Hemet’s Net New Development Impact Fee (DIF) calculation method. The calculation ensures that only the net new development impact is subject to DIFs, with credits for existing legal uses and fees applied solely to incremental increases, in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code §§ 66000 et seq.) and AB‑602.

Applicability (Programs & Units)
This method applies to the City of Hemet’s adopted Development Impact Fee programs assessed on a per‑square‑foot ($/SF) or per‑room ($/Room) basis. The examples below use the Water Facilities fee rates as a uniform demonstration for all land uses.

Applicable land uses and reference rates:
• Single‑Family Residential – $0.227/SF
• Multiple‑Family Residential – $0.444/SF
• Mobile‑Home Dwelling Units – $0.186/SF
• Commercial Lodging – $21.00/Room
• Retail / Commercial / Service – $0.043/SF
• Industrial – $0.020/SF
• Institutional – $0.089/SF
Calculation Rules (Net New)

1. Establish Existing Legal Use — Determine the fee credit from the existing legal use based on its current floor area or room count and the adopted rate (Appendix A).

2. Establish Proposed Use — Calculate the proposed fee using the current adopted rate and the new floor area or room count (Appendix A).

3. Compute Net New — Net New DIF = Proposed DIF − Existing DIF (minimum zero).

4. Change of Use — Existing credits are based on prior legal uses verified by permits or other records.

5. Mixed‑Use Sites — Apply the method by component (Residential, Retail, Industrial, etc.) and sum totals.

6. Partial Demolition/Additions — Fee credits are proportional to the remaining existing area or rooms.
244

14.E.

Worked Examples (Water Facilities Adopted Rates)
Example A — Commercial Rebuild (Retail → Retail):

Demolish 5,000 SF retail; construct 7,000 SF retail. Retail rate = $0.043/SF.

Existing Credit = 5,000 × $0.043 = $215.00
Proposed Fee = 7,000 × $0.043 = $301.00
Net New DIF = (7,000 − 5,000) × $0.043 = $86.00
Example B — Change of Use (Industrial → Retail):

Convert 10,000 SF industrial to 10,000 SF retail. Industrial rate = $0.020/SF; Retail rate = $0.043/SF.

Existing Credit = 10,000 × $0.020 = $200.00
Proposed Fee = 10,000 × $0.043 = $430.00
Net New DIF = 10,000 × ($0.043 − $0.020) = $230.00
Example C — Residential Addition (SFR → SFR):

Add 700 SF to an existing 1,800 SF single‑family dwelling. SFR rate = $0.227/SF.

Existing Credit = 1,800 × $0.227 = $408.60
Proposed Fee = 2,500 × $0.227 = $567.50
Net New DIF = (2,500 − 1,800) × $0.227 = $158.90
Example D — Mixed‑Use Redevelopment (Retail + MFR):

Demolish 2,000 SF retail and construct 3,000 SF retail plus 5,000 SF multifamily residential.

Retail rate = $0.043/SF; MFR rate = $0.444/SF.

Retail Credit = 2,000 × $0.043 = $86.00
Retail Fee = 3,000 × $0.043 = $129.00
Net Retail = $43.00
MFR Fee = 5,000 × $0.444 = $2,220.00
Total Net New DIF = $2,263.00
Example E — Commercial Lodging (Rooms):
245

14.E.

Expand a hotel from 20 to 25 rooms. Lodging rate = $21.00/Room.

Existing Credit = 20 × $21.00 = $420.00
Proposed Fee = 25 × $21.00 = $525.00
Net New DIF = (25 − 20) × $21.00 = $105.00
Submittal Requirements
• Site plan and floor area summary (existing and proposed). • Documentation of prior legal use (permits, assessor data, utility records, certificates of occupancy).
• Room counts for lodging, where applicable.
• Completed calculation worksheet demonstrating the net new fee computation.

Administrative Notes
• Negative results (Proposed − Existing < 0) yield a $0 fee. • Totals are rounded to the nearest dollar; intermediate calculations maintain precision.
• Updated rates apply if the Master Impact Fee Schedule (Appendix A) changes before permit issuance.
• Separate utility or district connection fees follow their own schedules but use the same net new principle.

APPENDIX F

ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT (ADU) IMPACT FEE

APPLICATION
247

14.E.

Appendix F — Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Impact Fee Application Purpose & Legal Framework
This appendix sets out how the City of Hemet applies development impact fees (DIFs) to Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) consistent with California Government Code and the City’s adopted per‑square‑foot methodology. Under Government Code § 65852.2(f)(3)(A), a local agency may not impose any impact fee on an ADU less than 750 square feet; for ADUs of 750 square feet or more, any impact fees must be charged proportionately in relation to the size of the primary dwelling. DIFs must also comply with the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code §§ 66000 et seq., as amended by AB‑602), which requires a reasonable relationship (nexus) and proportionality between the fee and the development’s impacts.

Methodology & Calculation Rules
• Threshold: ADUs under 750 square feet are exempt from DIFs (§ 65852.2(f)(3)(A)).

ADUs that are 750 square feet or larger may be assessed. • Composite per‑SF basis: Hemet assesses residential DIFs per square foot across programs. For ADUs ≥ 750 square feet, apply the adopted Single‑Family Residential (SFR) $/SF rate by program; the example below uses the Water Facilities rate as a uniform demonstration.
• Formula (per‑SF method): ADU Fee = SFR Rate ($/SF) × ADU Area (SF). • Proportionality (primary comparison): Because SFR is charged per SF, ADU Fee = (ADU SF ÷ Primary SF) × Primary Fee = SFR Rate × ADU SF. The per‑SF method satisfies § 65852.2’s proportionality requirement.
• Net‑new/credit: If the ADU replaces prior fee‑paid floor area and City policy provides a credit, apply Hemet’s net‑new rule (Proposed − Existing), floored at $0. • Rounding: Compute to the cent; round totals to the nearest dollar in the final fee.

At‑a‑Glance
If an ADU is under 750 square feet, no development impact fees may be charged. If an ADU is 750 square feet or larger, development impact fees may be charged, but must be proportional to size. State law also imposes size allowances/caps that affect how large an ADU may be:
detached ADUs must be allowed up to 1,200 square feet (unless a local ordinance allows more); attached ADUs may be limited to 50% of the primary dwelling’s floor area, but 248

14.E.

jurisdictions must allow at least 850 square feet for a studio/one‑bedroom ADU or at least 1,000 square feet for a two‑bedroom ADU or larger, even if percentage limits would otherwise be smaller.

Unit Size (from Appendix D): 2,304 square feet.

Example 1 — ADU 700 SF (Exempt):

Result: No DIF may be charged (ADU < 750 SF).

Example 2 — ADU 850 SF (Chargeable & Proportional):

Example 3 — ADU 1,100 SF (Within state allowances):

Note: Detached ADUs up to 1,200 SF must be allowed under state law; attached ADUs are subject to the 50% primary limit but not below 850/1,000 SF minimums.

Sources
• Gov. Code § 65852.2(f)(3)(A): ADUs < 750 SF exempt; ADUs ≥ 750 SF proportionate to the primary unit.
• Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code §§ 66000 et seq., as amended by AB‑602). • City of Hemet Nexus Chapters (Water Facilities rate used here as the demonstration SFR $/SF).

APPENDIX G

FIRE STATION COST BASIS
250

14.E.

Appendix G
Fire Station Cost Basis
Purpose
This appendix documents the planning-level cost basis for fire station projects in the City of Hemet Development Impact Fee Nexus Study. It presents the per-square-foot construction cost estimate provided by the Hemet Fire Department, the application of that estimate to each station project, the Station 3 growth-delta calculation, and a benchmark comparison to a contemporaneous California public safety construction project to confirm reasonableness. This appendix supersedes the earlier Public Safety Building Model (Kern County FIRE prototype) previously used as the basis for station planning estimates.

Fire Department Cost Estimate
The Hemet Fire Department provided a planning-level construction cost estimate of $1,600 per square foot (all-in) for standard fire station facilities in Hemet. This figure was developed by Fire Department staff based on current market conditions and is the authoritative basis for all station project costs in Chapter 4.

What the Rate Covers: The $1,600/SF rate is all-in and inclusive of: structure and framing; interior build-out; mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems; life-safety and fire suppression systems; site work and site improvements; soft costs (design, engineering, permitting, construction management, testing, and inspection); and standard contingencies appropriate to this level of planning. Because all of these elements are embedded in the per-square-foot figure, no separate line items are added for individual cost components.

Application: The rate is applied directly to the station's building square footage: Total Station Cost (no land) = Building SF × $1,600/SF. A planning-level land line is added separately where applicable, based on an estimated site area and prevailing land value. Estimates are stated in study-year (2025) dollars consistent with the Fire Department's estimate.

Station 7 Note: Station 7 (West) is a three-bay facility programmed at 9,757 square feet, matching the footprint of existing Station 4. All other new stations are two-bay facilities at 7,367 square feet. 251

For all other stations (FD-002, FD-004, FD-008), the full replacement cost equals the DIF-eligible cost because these are entirely new facilities. Land values are planning-level estimates and will be refined at time of project delivery.

Station 3 Growth-Delta Methodology (FD-001)
Station 3 is being relocated and expanded from 5,274 SF to 7,367 SF. Under the Mitigation Fee Act, only the capacity-increasing share attributable to growth is eligible for fee funding. The DIF-eligible cost is therefore based on the incremental square footage (the growth delta), not the full replacement cost. The growth-delta approach applies the same $1,600/SF all-in rate to the delta square footage and adds the land cost separately, producing the DIF-eligible cost for FD-001.

Reasonableness Benchmark: Higgins Corner Fire Station
As a benchmark for reasonableness, the City reviewed a contemporaneous CAL FIRE station replacement project in California. The Higgins Corner Fire Station (Colusa County) was the subject of a Capital Outlay Budget Change Proposal submitted to the California Department of Finance in January 2025, based on July 2024 engineer estimates (FY 2025–26 Capital Outlay BCP; available at bcp.dof.ca.gov).

The Higgins Corner project is a multi-building CAL FIRE facility including a main station, dormitory, apparatus bays, administrative space, and support structures — a more complex program than Hemet’s standard two-bay municipal station. Colusa County also has lower prevailing construction labor costs than Southern California. Accordingly, the Higgins Corner benchmark provides a conservative reference point: a Hemet station of similar or greater complexity in the same cost environment would be expected to cost more, not less.

conclusion —
Hemet's $1,600/SF is conservative relative to
the Higgins Corner benchmark, given Southern
California's higher labor costs
The Higgins Corner benchmark confirms that $1,600 per square foot is a conservative and wellsupported planning-level estimate for a standard fire station facility in the City of Hemet.

Source and Attribution
The $1,600/SF planning-level estimate was provided by the Hemet Fire Department. The Higgins Corner benchmark is drawn from publicly available California Department of Finance budget documents (bcp.dof.ca.gov). No proprietary cost model or third-party estimating database is used as the primary cost basis for this program; the Fire Department’s estimate is the authoritative source. 253

APPENDIX H

TRIP GENERATION & TRIP-MILES METHODOLOGY
254

14.E.

Appendix H — Trip Generation & Trip-Miles Methodology
This appendix documents the methodology used to measure new development’s demand on the City of Hemet’s transportation network for purposes of the Bridges, Streets & Traffic (BST) Development Impact Fee.

What Is Being Measured
The BST fee is based on trip-miles — the number of daily vehicle trips generated by a development multiplied by the average length of those trips. Trip-miles capture both how often vehicles enter the street system and how far they travel, providing a proportional measure of each development type’s demand on the road network.

Trip-miles are calculated for each land-use category and used to allocate the BST program cost in proportion to each category’s share of total projected demand.

Data Sources
Two published sources provide the inputs for every land-use category:

Source What It Provides
ITE Trip Generation
Manual (11th Edition,
2021)
Daily vehicle trip-end rates by land-use type — the number of trips entering or leaving a site per dwelling unit, per 1,000 square feet, or per room. Compiled from counts at thousands of real buildings nationwide.

SANDAG Regional Travel
Behavior Data (Appendix
T9)
Average one-way trip lengths (miles) and trip-type shares — the fractions of trips that are primary (new to the network), diverted (partial detour), or pass-by (already on the road) — for each land-use family. Based on Southern California travel surveys.

Neither source alone is sufficient: ITE counts how many trips a building generates; SANDAG identifies how many of those trips are genuinely new to the network and how far they travel.

The methodology combines them to calculate net new trip-miles.

How Trip-Miles Are Calculated
The calculation follows three steps for each land-use category:

Step 1
Count trip-ends
Multiply the development quantity (dwelling units, square feet, or rooms) by the ITE daily trip-end rate for that land use. This gives the total vehicle trips generated per day.
↓
Step 2
Adjust for trip type
Not all generated trips are new to the road network. Primary trips are fully counted. Diverted trips — vehicles making a detour on their way somewhere else — are partially counted. Pass-by trips — vehicles already on the road that pull in — receive the lowest weighting. These adjustments, based on SANDAG T9 data, prevent over-attributing demand to land uses that attract passing traffic. ↓
255

14.E.

Step 3
Multiply by trip length
Multiply the adjusted trip-ends by the average one-way trip length (miles) from SANDAG T9. The result is the daily trip-miles attributable to that land-use category.

Steps 1–3 are summarized in a single multiplier — the Trip-End and Length Factor — shown in the Chapter 5 fee schedule tables. The practical calculation is: Development Quantity × Trip-End and Length Factor = Trip-Miles.

From Trip-Miles to Fees
Once trip-miles are calculated for all land-use categories, each category’s share of total projected trip-miles determines its proportionate share of the BST program cost. That cost share is divided by the projected development quantity to produce the per-square-foot (or per-room) fee, consistent with AB-602.

Sources & Audit Trail
The Trip-End and Length Factor for each land-use category, and the resulting fee amounts, are reported in the Chapter 5 fee schedule tables. The underlying inputs can be independently verified using:
• ITE Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition (2021) — source of all daily trip-end rates • SANDAG Regional Travel Behavior Data, Appendix T9 (April 2002) — source of trip lengths and primary/diverted/pass-by shares for Southern California land uses • Chapter 5 — Bridges, Streets & Traffic — reports the adopted Trip-End and Length Factors and the resulting per-square-foot fees
No intermediate rounding is applied; all values are carried at full precision through the fee calculation.

FLOOD CONTROL COST BASIS AND PROJECT DETAIL

APPENDIX J – FLOOD CONTROL COST BASIS AND PROJECT DETAIL Purpose
The purpose of this appendix is to document the cost basis, escalation methodology, and project components supporting the Flood Control (FC) regional drainage improvements included in the City’s Flood Control Development Impact Fee. This appendix provides the complete supporting detail for all five drainage basins—Little Lake Basin (FC-001), Southwest Hemet Basin (FC-002), San Jacinto Basin (Hemet Segments) (FC-003), West Hemet Basin (FC-004), and Hemet Main Basin (FC-005)—including the original Master Drainage Plan (MDP) cost years, ENR Construction Cost Index (CCI) escalation factors, and the fully escalated 2025-dollar project costs. The appendix also identifies each basin’s master-planned storm drain facilities and demonstrates how the project-level costs reconcile to the basin-level totals used in the fee calculation.

Methodology
The Flood Control cost basis is derived from the original facility costs reported in the applicable Master Drainage Plans for each basin and escalated to 2025 dollars using the Engineering News-Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index (CCI). Each MDP outlines the master-planned trunk lines, laterals, channels, and detention facilities required to provide regional storm drainage service. Because these plans were prepared over several decades, each basin has a distinct MDP cost year. The adopted approach applies ENR-CCI escalation from each MDP’s original cost year to January 2025 (or August 2025 for the San Jacinto Basin) to produce consistent 2025-dollar project costs. For documentation, escalation factors are presented to three decimal places, while the escalated project costs are reported at the whole-dollar values previously computed. Where basin totals are allocated 50 percent to existing development and 50 percent to new development, the resulting allocation amounts are shown at full precision and may include cents to preserve exact proportionality.

The City’s adopted methodology aggregates individual master-planned line segments into five basin-level capital projects corresponding to the hydrologic basins serving the City’s urban area. All escalated project components within each basin are summed to establish the basin-level cost used in the Flood Control Development Impact Fee. This appendix documents each basin’s components, their escalation to 2025 dollars, and the reconciliation between project-level detail and basin-level totals. The 50/50 allocation reflects the dual-benefit nature of regional storm drainage improvements, which both remedy long-standing conveyance deficiencies affecting existing neighborhoods and provide the additional trunk capacity required to serve future development. This allocation approach is consistent with accepted practice under the Mitigation Fee Act in cases where precise proportional data is unavailable.

GIS Review and Fee-Eligible Cost Adjustments: Following Public Works direction, a GIS-based review of each master-planned facility alignment using the Riverside County Flood Control (RCFC) Master Drainage Plan / Area Drainage Plan GIS to identify two categories of adjustments: (1) facilities whose alignments extend outside the City limits, requiring jurisdictional boundary proration, and (2) facilities that have been partially or fully constructed, requiring exclusion of the constructed portion from the fee-eligible program.

For jurisdictional boundary proration, the City-eligible length of each affected alignment was divided by its total alignment length to derive a City-eligible percentage, which was then applied to the facility’s allocated cost. For partial construction exclusions, the unconstructed percentage of each affected facility was applied to its allocated cost. All GIS measurements and construction verifications were performed using RCFC 264

MDP/ADP GIS data. The resulting fee-eligible costs are documented in each basin section below and are reflected in the GIS Adjustment column of each Component Cost Detail table and the Revised Fee-Eligible Basin Cost row of each Escalation Summary table.

Data Sources
The following documents provide the source information for the cost basis, facility components, and escalation calculations used in this appendix:
• Little Lake Master Drainage Plan (Report, Plates, and Map) • Southwest Hemet Master Drainage Plan (Report, Plates, and Map) • San Jacinto Valley Master Drainage Plan (Report and Maps) • West Hemet Master Drainage Plan (Report, Plates, and Map) • Hemet Area Master Drainage Plan (Report, Plates, and Map) • ENR Construction Cost Index (CCI), historical and January/August 2025 values • City of Hemet Development Impact Fee Nexus Study (this report), used for consistency with adopted land use categories and fee program structure
Basin Detail
FC-001 — Little Lake Basin Regional Drainage Improvements Purpose: This section documents the cost basis and component facilities for the Little Lake Basin (FC-001) regional storm drainage improvements. The purpose of this section is to summarize the master-planned storm drain systems included in the Little Lake Basin, identify the original Master Drainage Plan (MDP) cost year, document the ENR Construction Cost Index (CCI) escalation to 2025 dollars, and present the fully reconciled basin-level project cost that supports the Flood Control Development Impact Fee.

Scope: The Little Lake Basin includes the northern drainage area of the City served by the trunk and lateral storm drain facilities identified in the Little Lake Master Drainage Plan. The basin improvements include the Line A Storm Drain System (including Lines A-2 and A-4), the Line B Storm Drain System (including Line B4), the Line C Storm Drain System (including Line C-1), the Line D Storm Drain System (including Line D-1), and the Line E trunk improvement. These facilities together form the regional conveyance network for the Little Lake Basin and are required to collect runoff from existing and future development and convey flows toward the Little Lake outfall.

Method & Justification: The Little Lake Basin cost basis is derived from the original facility costs reported in the Little Lake Master Drainage Plan, which was prepared using 1978 dollars. These costs were escalated to 2025 dollars using the ENR Construction Cost Index (CCI) methodology described in Section I.2. The 1978 base-year CCI is 2,776, and the January 2025 CCI is 13,731.6, yielding an escalation factor of 4.947 when rounded to three decimals for documentation. All escalated project costs shown in this section reflect the previously computed whole-dollar values prepared by Revenue & Cost Specialists (RCS) for this study using the exact escalation factor.

Following Public Works direction, four adjustments were applied to this basin. Line A-4 was identified as crossing the City boundary at Charlton Avenue (the portion north of Charlton is in the County of Riverside) and was confirmed partially constructed on and north of Lincoln Avenue via RCFC GIS. The combined Cityjurisdictional and unconstructed eligible portion (56.58% of alignment length) is included in the fee program, resulting in a reduction of −$1,356,323. Line B-4 was confirmed partially constructed via RCFC GIS (11.14% complete); the constructed portion is excluded from the fee-eligible program, resulting in a reduction of −$173,317. Line E was confirmed to extend partially outside the City limits; the City-eligible portion (70.23% of alignment length, measured via RCFC GIS) is included, resulting in a reduction of −$546,975. Line B (trunk) was confirmed partially constructed via RCFC GIS; Stage 1 (4,906 LF accepted) has been constructed against a total planned alignment of 10,411 LF, leaving 4,470 LF (42.93%) unbuilt. The unbuilt portion is eligible for inclusion in the fee program; the constructed portion is excluded, resulting in a reduction of −$7,012,415. Lines A, A-2, C, C-1, D, and D-1 are fully eligible with no further adjustments. The revised fee-eligible basin cost is $18,030,385.

The basin improvements include multiple MDP line segments that function collectively as a single regional drainage project. The escalated costs for each line segment are summed to produce the basin-level cost used in the fee calculation. Consistent with the methodology in Section I.2, the total basin cost is allocated 50 percent to existing development and 50 percent to new development to reflect the shared benefit of these regional drainage improvements and the absence of updated hydrologic modeling that would support a more granular allocation.

Scope: The Southwest Hemet Basin includes the southwestern drainage area of the City and encompasses the trunk and lateral storm drain facilities identified in the Southwest Hemet Master Drainage Plan. The basin improvements include Line A and its laterals (A-1 through A-4), Line B and its laterals (B-1 through B-6), and additional regional lines including Line C, Line D, Line F, Line H, Line I, Line J, Line K, Line L, Line M, Line N, Line O, and Line P. Together, these improvements establish the regional conveyance system serving both existing neighborhoods and anticipated development areas within the southwest basin.

Method & Justification: The Southwest Hemet Basin cost basis is derived from the original facility costs reported in the Southwest Hemet Master Drainage Plan, which was prepared using 1981 dollars. These costs were escalated to 2025 dollars using the ENR Construction Cost Index (CCI) methodology described in Section I.2. The 1981 base-year CCI is 3,535, and the January 2025 CCI is 13,731.6, yielding an escalation factor of 3.884 when rounded to three decimals for documentation. All escalated project costs shown in this section reflect the previously computed whole-dollar values prepared by Revenue & Cost Specialists (RCS) for this study using the exact escalation factor.

Following Public Works direction, one adjustment was applied to this basin. Line B was confirmed partially constructed via RCFC GIS (23.87% complete), with the constructed portion located approximately between Simpson Road and Olive Avenue; the constructed portion is excluded from the fee-eligible program, resulting in a reduction of −$1,220,225. All other facilities are fully eligible with no further adjustments. The revised fee-eligible basin cost is $28,468,776.

The Southwest Hemet Basin contains numerous master-planned line segments that collectively function as the regional storm drainage system for the basin. The escalated costs for each line segment are summed to determine the basin-level cost used in the fee calculation. Consistent with the methodology in Section I.2, the total basin cost is allocated 50 percent to existing development and 50 percent to new development to reflect the shared benefit of these improvements and the absence of updated hydrologic modeling that would enable a more refined proportional allocation.

FC-003 — San Jacinto Basin (Hemet Segments) Regional Drainage Improvements Purpose: This section documents the cost basis and component facilities for the San Jacinto Basin (Hemet Segments) (FC-003) regional storm drainage improvements. The purpose of this section is to summarize the master-planned storm drain systems serving the City’s portion of the San Jacinto Basin, identify the original Master Drainage Plan (MDP) cost year, document the ENR Construction Cost Index (CCI) escalation to 2025 dollars, and present the fully reconciled basin-level project cost that supports the Flood Control Development Impact Fee.

Scope: The San Jacinto Basin (Hemet Segments) includes storm drain improvements located within the City of Hemet that tie into the San Jacinto Valley regional drainage system. As identified in the San Jacinto Valley Master Drainage Plan, the Hemet improvements include the Line A Florida Avenue Storm Drain, Line B-1 Menlo Avenue Storm Drain, Line C-4 Santa Fe Street Storm Drain, Line E-2 State Street Regional Trunk, and Line X W. Esplanade Avenue Regional Trunk. These trunk facilities convey flows originating within Hemet toward the larger San Jacinto regional outfall system.

Method & Justification: The San Jacinto Basin cost basis is derived from the original facility costs reported in the San Jacinto Valley Master Drainage Plan, which was prepared using 2015 dollars. These costs were escalated to 2025 dollars using the ENR Construction Cost Index (CCI) methodology described in Section I.2.

The October 2015 base-year CCI is 10,128, and the August 2025 CCI is 13,913.52, yielding an escalation factor of 1.374 when rounded to three decimals for documentation. All escalated project costs shown in this section reflect the previously computed whole-dollar values prepared by Revenue & Cost Specialists (RCS) for this study using the exact escalation factor.

Following Public Works direction, facility labels were verified against the San Jacinto Valley Master Drainage Plan and RCFC GIS. Line C-4 is located along Santa Fe Street and is identified accordingly as the Santa Fe Street Storm Drain. Line E-2 is located along State Street and is identified accordingly as the State Street Regional Trunk. One cost adjustment was also applied: Line X (W. Esplanade Avenue Regional Trunk) was confirmed via RCFC GIS to extend outside the City limits; the City-eligible portion (38.21% of alignment length) is included in the fee program, resulting in a reduction of −$7,557,320. All other facilities are fully eligible with no further adjustments. The revised fee-eligible basin cost is $22,804,321.

The Hemet improvements within the San Jacinto Basin comprise several major trunk facilities that function together as a single regional drainage project within the basin. The escalated costs for each line segment are summed to produce the basin-level cost used in the fee calculation. Consistent with the methodology in Section I.2, the total basin cost is allocated 50 percent to existing development and 50 percent to new development to reflect the shared benefit of these regional facilities and the absence of updated hydrologic modeling that would allow for more detailed proportional allocation. 272

FC-004 — West Hemet Basin Regional Drainage Improvements Purpose: This section documents the cost basis and component facilities for the West Hemet Basin (FC-004) regional storm drainage improvements. The purpose of this section is to summarize the master-planned storm drain systems included in the West Hemet Basin, identify the original Master Drainage Plan (MDP) cost year, document the ENR Construction Cost Index (CCI) escalation to 2025 dollars, and present the fully reconciled basin-level project cost that supports the Flood Control Development Impact Fee.

Scope: The West Hemet Basin encompasses the western drainage area of the City and includes the masterplanned storm drain facilities identified in the West Hemet Master Drainage Plan. The basin improvements include the Line A Storm Drain System, the A-1 lateral, Line E and E-1, the Line C system (including C-1 through C-4, C-7, and C-8), Line D, and the Devonshire Retention Basin. Together, these improvements form the backbone regional drainage system required to safely convey stormwater generated within the West Hemet Basin.

Method & Justification: The West Hemet Basin cost basis is derived from the original facility costs reported in the West Hemet Master Drainage Plan, which was prepared in 1982. These costs were escalated to 2025 dollars using the ENR Construction Cost Index (CCI) methodology described in Section I.2. The 1982 baseyear CCI is 3,825, and the January 2025 CCI is 13,731.6, resulting in an escalation factor of 3.590 when rounded to three decimals for documentation. All escalated project costs shown in this section reflect the previously computed whole-dollar values prepared by Revenue & Cost Specialists (RCS) for this study using the exact escalation factor.

Following Public Works review, no adjustments were identified for the West Hemet Basin. All masterplanned facilities included in FC-004 are located within the City limits. The fee-eligible basin cost is $41,161,577.

The West Hemet Basin contains multiple interconnected master-planned facilities that operate collectively as a regional drainage system. The escalated costs of these facilities are summed to determine the basin-level cost used in the fee calculation. Consistent with the methodology in Section I.2, the total basin cost is allocated 50 percent to existing development and 50 percent to new development to account for the dual-benefit nature of the improvements and the absence of updated hydrologic modeling that could support a more refined allocation.

FC-005 — Hemet Main Basin Regional Drainage Improvements Purpose: This section documents the cost basis and component facilities for the Hemet Main Basin (FC-005) regional storm drainage improvements. The purpose of this section is to summarize the master-planned storm drain systems included in the Hemet Main Basin, identify the original Master Drainage Plan (MDP) cost year, document the ENR Construction Cost Index (CCI) escalation to 2025 dollars, and present the fully reconciled basin-level project cost that supports the Flood Control Development Impact Fee.

Scope: The Hemet Main Basin includes the central drainage area of the City and consists of the trunk channels, pipelines, and system laterals identified in the Hemet Area Master Drainage Plan. The basin improvements include the Line A system (including Lines A-2, A-3, A-6, and A-7), the Line B system (including B-1 and B-2), the Line C-1 trunk, and the Line D system (including D-1 and D-6). These elements together form the primary regional conveyance system serving the City’s historic urban core and surrounding development areas.

Method & Justification: The Hemet Main Basin cost basis is derived from the original facility costs reported in the Hemet Area Master Drainage Plan, which was prepared using 1977 dollars. These costs were escalated to 2025 dollars using the ENR Construction Cost Index (CCI) methodology described in Section I.2. The 1977 base-year CCI is 2,576, and the January 2025 CCI is 13,731.6, resulting in an escalation factor of 5.331 when rounded to three decimals for documentation. All escalated project costs shown in this section reflect the previously computed whole-dollar values prepared by Revenue & Cost Specialists (RCS) for this study using the exact escalation factor.

Following Public Works direction, three adjustments were applied to this basin. First, the Hemet Storm Channel mainline (Line A Reaches 1–3) was confirmed fully constructed via RCFC GIS. The mainline cost ($3,609,000 in 1977 dollars, escalated to $19,238,099) is excluded in full from the fee-eligible program, as a constructed facility does not represent an unmet capital need attributable to new development. Second, Line A-3 was confirmed substantially constructed via RCFC GIS (60.85% complete); the unconstructed portion (39.15%) is eligible for inclusion in the fee program. The eligible cost is calculated directly against Line A-3’s own escalated cost ($6,897,784 × 39.15% = $2,700,481), resulting in a reduction of −$4,197,303. Third, the Acacia Avenue Storm Drain mainline (Line B Reaches 1–5) was confirmed substantially constructed via RCFC GIS (80.15% complete); the unconstructed portion (19.85%, representing 2,975 LF of 14,984 LF total) is eligible for inclusion. Line B laterals (B-1 and B-2) are fully unbuilt and remain fully eligible. The constructed mainline portion is excluded, resulting in a reduction of −$6,770,406. Lines A-2, A-6, A-7, C-1, D-1, D-6, and Line D are fully eligible with no further adjustments. The Line D mainline (Stetson Avenue Channel) was reviewed and confirmed to be excluded from the fee program entirely; only Lines D-1 and D-6 are included, consistent with the cost basis in this section. The revised fee-eligible basin cost is $15,458,161.

The Hemet Main Basin contains multiple interconnected master-planned facilities that together provide the regional drainage capacity for the basin. The escalated costs of these facilities are summed to determine the basin-level cost used in the fee calculation. Consistent with the methodology in Section I.2, the total basin cost is allocated 50 percent to existing development and 50 percent to new development to reflect the dual benefit of these regional improvements and the absence of updated hydrologic modeling that could support a more refined proportional allocation.

Notes on Defensibility and Application
The Flood Control cost basis and allocation methodology presented in this appendix are designed to comply with the requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act and Assembly Bill 602 (AB-602), which together require a reasonable relationship between the cost of public facilities and the development that will benefit from or require those facilities. The use of ENR Construction Cost Index (CCI) escalation provides a consistent, industry-recognized method of converting historical Master Drainage Plan (MDP) cost estimates into 2025 dollars. Because the MDPs serving the City’s drainage basins were prepared across several decades, each with different cost years, the ENR-based escalation method allows heterogeneous cost inputs to be expressed on a comparable basis and provides a transparent, replicable escalation process suitable for audit and longterm documentation. 279

14.E.

Aggregating the individual MDP-identified line segments into five basin-level capital projects aligns with the hydrologic boundaries that govern regional storm drainage function and the manner in which the infrastructure is planned and operated. This approach consolidates numerous interconnected improvements into basin-scale projects that reflect how stormwater is conveyed, managed, and discharged within the City.

The basin-level cost summaries presented in this appendix reconcile exactly to the component-level escalated costs, ensuring that the Flood Control Development Impact Fee is grounded in identifiable, documented facility needs.

In the absence of updated hydrologic modeling or flow-based demand analysis, the City applies a 50 percent allocation to existing development and 50 percent to new development for all basin-level projects. This allocation reflects the dual-benefit nature of regional drainage facilities, which both address existing conveyance constraints affecting established neighborhoods and provide the additional trunk and backbone capacity necessary to accommodate future development. This proportional allocation is consistent with accepted practice under the Mitigation Fee Act when precise engineering or operational data needed for more granular apportionment is not available.

Together, the escalation documentation, GIS-based fee-eligible cost adjustments, basin-level reconciliation, and proportional allocation methodology described in this appendix provide the defensibility required to demonstrate the nexus between development activity and the need for regional flood control facilities. This appendix establishes a transparent audit trail that supports the Flood Control Development Impact Fee calculation and provides the foundational cost documentation necessary for ongoing reporting and future updates.

QUALITY OF LIFE COST BASIS
289

14.E.

Appendix N — Quality of Life Infrastructure Cost Basis (Land Acquisition and Construction Costs)
Purpose
This appendix documents the public cost benchmarks used to establish the City of Hemet’s development impact fee cost bases for land acquisition and for park and community-center construction. These values support the City’s Quality of Life Infrastructure programs— covering parks, community centers, libraries, and public meeting facilities. All figures are drawn from adopted local and regional plans and public market data, in compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act (Gov. Code § 66000 et seq.) and Assembly Bill (AB) 602.

1. Land Acquisition Cost Basis
Legal Framework: The Quimby Act (Gov. Code § 66477) requires that in-lieu park fees reflect the fair-market value (FMV) of land otherwise required for dedication. Using current local comparables ensures that the value represents true market conditions in Hemet.
