1 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this investment policy is to identify various policies and procedures that will foster a prudent and systematic investment program designed to seek the City of Menifee’s objectives of safety, liquidity and return on investment through a diversified investment portfolio. This policy also serves to organize and formalize the City of Menifee’s investment -related activities, while complying with all applicable statutes governing the investment of public funds. This policy is written to incorporate industry best practices and recommendations from sources such as the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), California Municipal Treasurers Association (CMTA), California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC) and the Association of Public Treasurers (APT).
This investment policy was endorsed and adopted by the City of Menifee’s Governing Body and is effective as of the TBD 5th day of May, 2021, and replaces any previous versions.
I. SCOPE
This policy covers all funds and investment activities under the direct authority of the City of Menifee, as set forth in the State Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq ., with the following exceptions:
• Proceeds of debt issuance shall be invested in accordance with the City of Menifee’s general investment philosophy as set forth in this policy; however, such proceeds are to be invested pursuant to the permitted investment provisions of their specific bond indentures.
• Any other funds specifically exempted by the Governing Body.
POOLING OF FUNDS
Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City of Menifee will consolidate cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping and administration. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
II. PRUDENCE
Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 53600.3, all persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City of Menifee are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the Prudent Investor Standard:
“…all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, A-14
2 or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City of Menifee, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City of Menifee. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.” The Treasurer and other authorized persons responsible for managing City of Menifee funds acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes provided that the Treasurer or other authorized persons acted in good faith. Deviations from expectations of a security’s credit or market risk should be reported to the governing body in a timely fashion and appropriate action should be taken to control adverse developments.
III. OBJECTIVES
T
he City of Menifee’s overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism worthy of the public trust. The overriding objectives of the program are to preserve principal, provide sufficient liquidity, and manage investment risks, while seeking a market-rate of return.
• SAFETY. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.
Investments will be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, the City of Menifee will diversify its investments by investing funds among a variety of securities with independent returns.
• LIQUIDITY. The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. • RETURN ON INVESTMENTS. The investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return th roughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints for safety and liquidity needs.
IV. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
A
uthority to manage the City of Menifee’s investment program is derived from California Government Code, Sections 41006 and 53600 et seq.
T
he Governing Body is responsible for the management of the City of Menifee’s funds, including the administration of this investment policy. Management respons ibility for the cash management of the City of Menifee’s funds is hereby delegated to the Treasurer.
A-15
3 The Treasurer will be responsible for all transactions undertaken and will establish a system of procedures and controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and employees.
Such procedures will include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the Treasurer.
The City of Menifee may engage the services of one or more external investment advisers, who are registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, to assist in the management of the City of Menifee’s investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the City of Menifee’s objectives. External investment advisers may be granted discretion to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this investment policy.
The City of Menifee's overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. The City of Menifee recognizes that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured losses may be inevitable and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio’s return and the cash flow requirements of the City of Menifee.
V. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
All participants in the investment process shall act as custodians of the public trust.
Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation. Thus employees and officials involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.
Employees and investment officials shall disclose to the City Manager any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking any personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City of Menifee.
VI. INTERNAL CONTROLS
The Treasurer is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.
Periodically, as deemed appropriate by the City of Menifee and/or the Governing Body, an independent analysis by an external auditor shall be conducted to review internal controls, account activity and compliance with policies and procedures.
A-16
4 VII. AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, DEPOSITORIES, AND BROKER/DEALERS
To the extent practicable, the Treasurer shall endeavor to complete investment transactions using a competitive bid process whenever possible. The City of Menifee’s Treasurer will determine which financial institutions are authorized to provide investment services to the City of Menifee. It shall be the City of Menifee’s policy to purchase securities only from authorized institutions and firms.
The Treasurer shall maintain procedures for establishing a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial institutions which are approved for investment purposes that are selected through a process of due diligence as determined by the City of Menifee. Due inquiry shall determine whether such authorized broker/dealers, and the individuals covering the City of Menifee are reputable and trustworthy, knowledgeable and experienced in Public City of Menifee investing and able to meet all of their financial obligations. These institutions may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3-1 (uniform net capital rule).
In accordance with Section 53601.5, institutions eligible to transact investment business with the City of Menifee include:
• Primary government dealers as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank and non- primary government dealers.
• Nationally or state-chartered banks.
• The Federal Reserve Bank.
• Direct issuers of securities eligible for purchase.
Selection of financial institutions and broker/dealers authorized to engage in transactions will be at the sole discretion of the City of Menifee, except where the City of Menifee utilizes an external investment adviser in which case the City of Menifee may rely on the adviser for selection.
All financial institutions which desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions (and which are not dealing only with the investment adviser) must supply the Treasurer with audited financials and a statement certifying that the institution has reviewed the California Government Code, Section 53600 et seq. and the City of Menifee’s investment policy. The Treasurer will conduct an annual review of the financial condition and registrations of such qualified bidders.
Public deposits will be made only in qualified public depositories as established by State law. Deposits will be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or, to the extent the amount exceeds the insured maximum, will be collateralized in accordance with State law.
S
election of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained by the City of Menifee will be at the sole discretion of the adviser. Where possible, transactions wi th broker/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded. If there is no other readily available competitive offering, best efforts will be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities. When purchasing A-17
5 original issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities at the same original issue price.
VIII. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
The City of Menifee’s investments are governed by California Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq. Within the investments permitted by the Code, the City of Menifee seeks to further restrict eligible investments to the guidelines listed below. In the event a discrepancy is found between this policy and the Code, the more restrictive parameters will take precedence. Percentage holding limits li sted in this section apply at the time the security is purchased.
Any investment currently held at the time the policy is adopted which does not meet the new policy guidelines can be held until maturity, and shall be exempt from the current policy. At the time of the investment’s maturity or liquidation, such funds shall be reinvested only as provided in the current policy.
An appropriate risk level shall be maintained by primarily purchasing securities that are of high quality, liquid, and marketable. The portfolio shall be diversified by security type and institution to avoid incurring unreasonable and avoidable risks regarding specific security types or individual issuers.

XIV. R
ISK MANAGEMENT AND DIVERSIFICATION
MITIGATING CREDIT RISK IN THE PORTFOLIO
Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt. The City of Menifee will mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:
• The diversification requirements included in the “Authorized Investments” section of this policy are designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio.
A-24
12 • No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be deposited with or invested in securities issued by any single issuer unless otherwise specified in this policy.
• The City of Menifee may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to manage the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or City of Menifee’s risk preferences.
• If the credit ratings of any security owned by the City of Menifee are downgraded to a level below the quality required by this investment policy, it will be the City of Menifee’s policy to review the credit situation and make a determination as to whether to sell or retain such securities in the portfolio.
• If a security is downgraded, the Trea surer will use discretion in determining whether to sell or hold the security based on its current maturity, the economic outlook for the issuer, and other relevant factors.
• If a decision is made to retain a downgraded security in the portfolio, its pre sence in the portfolio will be monitored and reported monthly to the Governing Body.
MITIGATING MARKET RISK IN THE PORTFOLIO
Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City of Menifee recognizes that, over time, longer -term portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, l onger-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The City of Menifee will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short -term cash needs, and by making longer -term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cash flow purposes.
The City of Menifee further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City of Menifee, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
• The City of Menifee will maintain a minimum of six months of budgeted operating expenditures in short term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements.
• The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five (5) years, except as otherwise stated in this policy.
• The duration of the portfolio will generally be approximately equal to the duration (typically, plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark, an index selected by the City of Menifee based on the City of Menifee’s investment objectives, constraints and risk tolerances.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Draft Development Impact Fees (DIF) Study
MEETING DATE: Ju ly 26, 2022
TO: Finance Committee
PREPARED BY: Jizelle Sandoval, Financial Analyst
REVIEWED BY: Cheryl Kitzerow, Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive a presentation from The Matrix Consulting Group Inc. regarding the recently completed Draft Development Impact Fees ( DIF) Study. Review and provide comment on the Draft DIF Study and recommend submittal to the City Council for approval at a future C ity C ouncil meeting.
DISC USSION
The primary policy objective and establishment of the Development Impact Fee (DIF) program is to ensure that new development pays capital cost associated with growth. The DIF program is designed to support and fund improv ements to public facilities and the purchase of equipment related to the provision of essential services based on the demands created by new growth and development.
The City engaged the Matrix Consulting Group Inc. to update its Impact Fees. The City ’s last comprehensive impact fee update was completed in 2017, and per the Mitigation Fee Act, impact fees must be reevaluated every five years . Therefore, the City is reevaluating the nexus for these impact fees to ensure that they are still appropriate and updated to incorporate any completed projects and any new project s. The results of t his study allow the City to ensure that there is still a nexus between future development and its proportionate impact on City infrastructure as well as update the fee amounts to be more reflective of that impact.
Methodology
There are two typical methodologies utilized to calculate impact fees – service level standards and specific facility pro jections. For the purposes of this analysis the project team has utilized the more commonly accepted and recognized service level standards approach.
The service level standard approach is based on the creation and recognition of existing service level standards provided by the jurisdiction to the users of its services (residents, employees, students, etc.). As there is new development and growth in the community, there is the potential for the service level standard to decline if appropr iate measures are n ot taken to retain that service level standard. Therefore, the service level st andard calculates the impact of each individual on the city’s infrastructure and applies it to future individuals and growth. If there is an A-35

July 26, 2022
increase in the service population, there would be a corresponding impact on infrastructure, and thereby a nexus for collection of impact fees.
However, if there is no increased population or use of those services, impact fees would not be justifiable or applicable. For the purposes of calculating impact fees, the project team reviewed a variety of data elements from the s tate, regional organizations, county, and city staff. The following points highlight the data reviewed through the course of this analysis:
• Ordinances: The project team revie wed the City’s ordinances to ensure that there was the legal authority to as sess and increase current impact fees.
• General Plan, Facilities Assessment, Department Master Plans, and CIP Plans:
Data was reviewed from a variety of city specific documents regarding the potential growth in the community, the goals for the city and the departments, as well as future capital projects.
• Growth and Projection Data: Population, household, dwelling units, and employment information for current a nd future years was obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and internal City General Plan projection documents.
• Service Level Standards: Information such as police facilities, fire equipment, general equipment, park needs, and transportation projects were collected, reviewed, and applied for calculation regarding future impacts.
• Revenues and Expenses: Revenue collected for impact fees was reviewed to ensure compliance with reporting practices as wel l as to calculate an administrative overhead percentage. Expense information was reviewed for cos t estimates for infrastructure as well as overhead allocation to the impact fees.
The above elements were utilized to develop and calculate updated impact fees for the City.
Results of Study
Based upon the results of this analysis, the project team has c alculated updated or new impact fees for Animal Shelter, General Government, Fire, Police, Parks and Recreation, Transportation and Storm Drain. Based on the analysis , the fees associated with Library and Master Planning were eliminate d. P roportional costs associated with future infrastructure impacts, along with administrative overhead, were used t o calculate the full cost of the impact fees presented. The following tables show the results of the updated impact fees calculated for the City:

Through this analysis the majority of the City’s impact fees have been validated and shown to be under-recovering. The only fees which the City will need to reduce are relate d to the Animal Shelter, and the Single- Family Fire Impact Fee. Overall, this report details the calculations for each of the impact fees, as well as validates the nexus tha t exists be tween the full cost identified and the proportionate impact of new development.
Following this Finance Committee meeting, S taff will seek feedback from the Buildi ng Industry Association (BIA), as well as the Developer Stakeholder Group.

1. Introduction and Executive Summary
The draft report, which follows, presents the results of the Development Impact Fee Study conducted by the Matrix Consulting Group for the City of Menifee. 1 Project Background and Scope of Work
The Matrix Consulting Group was retained by the City of Menifee to update its Impact Fees. Impact fees within the state of California are governed by the Mitigation Fee Act (AB1600) (Gov. Code §66000 et seq.) and AB602 which requires demonstrating the reasonable relationship that exists between the development activity and the proposed benefit. The City’s last comprehensive impact fee update was done in 2017 and as such the City is reevaluating the nexus for these impact fees to ensure that they are still appropriate and updated to incorporate any completed projects and any new projects.
The results of this study allow the City to ensure that there is still a nexus between future development and its proportionate impact on City infrastructure as well as update the fee amounts to be more reflective of that impact.
2 General Project Approach and Methodology
There are two typical methodologies utilized to calculate impact fees – service level standards and specific facility projections. For the purposes of this analysis the project team has utilized the more commonly accepted and recognized service level standards approach.
The service level standard approach is based on the creation and recognition of existing service level standards provided by the jurisdiction to the users of its services (residents, employees, students, etc.). As there is new development and growth in the community, there is the potential for the service level standard to decline if appropriate measures are not taken to retain that service level standard. Therefore, the service level standard calculates the impact of each individual on the City’s infrastructure and applies it to future individuals and growth. If there is an increase in the service population, there would be a corresponding impact on infrastructure, and thereby a nexus for collection of impact fees.
However, if there is no increased population or use of those services, impact fees would not be justifiable or applicable.
For the purposes of calculating impact fees, the project team reviewed a variety of data elements from the state, regional organizations, county, and City staff. The following points highlight the data reviewed through the course of this analysis:

Expense information was reviewed for cost estimates for infrastructure as well as overhead allocation to the impact fees.
The elements were utilized to develop and calculate updated impact fees for the City. 3 Summary of Results
Based upon the results of this analysis, the project team has calculated updated or new impact fees for Animal Shelter, General Government, Fire, Police, Parks and Recreation, Transportation and Storm Drain. The fees associated with Library and Master Planning were eliminated and will be discussed further. As outlined in the Mitigation Fee Act, proportional costs associated with future infrastructure impacts, along with administrative overhead, were used to calculate the full cost of the impact fees presented. The following subsections show the results of the updated impact fees calculated for the City.
1 Animal Shelter Impact Fees
The Animal Shelter Impact Fee for the City of Menifee was developed to help mitigate the impact of new development upon the need for a brand new or future Animal Shelter Facility. The City has recently joined a JPA through which it receives Animal Sheltering services and the impact fee will be used to offset the debt service costs associated with

A-42
DRAFT Development Impact Fee Study MENIFEE, CA
Matrix Consulting Group 3
the Animal Shelter facility. Throug h the course of this analysis, the impact fees were evaluated based upon the current projected impacts between 2021 and 2045. While this fee has traditionally been assessed on both residential and non-residential, based upon the current arrangement for the City of utilizing a JPA to provide Animal Shelter services it was determined that there was only a nexus for residential users for this service. Any non-residential or employee users would receive benefit through their potential membership from their residential city that is part of the regional JPA. The following table compares the City’s current fees to the full cost fee calculated through this study, the resulting surplus / (deficit), and the cost recovery:
Table 1: Animal Shelter Impact Fees – Current vs. Full Cost
Category Current Fee Full Cost Fee Surplus / (Deficit) Cost Recovery % Single-Family $160 $94 $66 171%
Multi-Family $118 $74 $44 159%
The full cost fee calculated through this study represents the maximum fee that the City can charge and is inclusive of the administrative fee allowable under the Mitigation Fee Act. As the City’s full cost is lower than its current fee, the fee will need to be reduced to comply with the Mitigation Fee Act.
2 General Government Impact Fees
The General Government Impact fee is meant to offset impacts upon City Hall, the Corporation Yard, and Public Works equipment and vehicles. It also includes costs associated with implementing IT Fiber Optic infrastructure throughout the City. Through the course of this analysis, the impact fees were evaluated based upon the current projected impacts between 2021 and 2045. The following table compares the City’s current fees to the full cost fee calculated through this study, the resulting surplus / (deficit), and the cost recovery:
Table 2: General Government Impact Fees – Current vs. Full Cost
Category Current Fee Full Cost Fee Surplus / (Deficit) Cost Recovery % Residential (per dwelling unit)
Single-Family $1,106 $1,176 ($70) 94%
Multi-Family $815 $920 ($105) 89%
Commercial / Non-Residential (per square foot)
Commercial / Retail $0.28 $0.68 ($0.40) 42%

Act. The City is currently under-recovering for all of its categories for General Government, with a much lower cost recovery for non-residential projects. 3 Fire Impact Fees
While the City of Menifee contracts for Fire services, it owns the Fire infrastructure.
Therefore, the Fire Impact fee is meant to offset the cost associated with Fire Stations and vehicles. Through the course of this analysis the impact fees were evaluated based upon the current projected impacts between 2021 and 2045. The following table compares the City’s current fees to the full cost fee calculated through this study, the resulting surplus / (deficit), and the cost recovery:
Table 3: Fire Impact Fees – Current vs. Full Cost
Category Current Fee Full Cost Fee Surplus / (Deficit) Cost Recovery % Residential (per dwelling unit)
Single-Family $665 $647 $18 103%
Multi-Family $490 $506 ($16) 97%
Commercial / Non-Residential (per square foot)
Commercial / Retail $0.46 $0.85 ($0.39) 54%
Office $0.61 $2.36 ($1.75) 26%
Industrial $0.23 $0.32 ($0.09) 71%
The City is currently under-recovering for all but one of its Fire Impact fee categories. The fee for Single-Family homes will need to be reduced in order to comply with the Mitigation Fee Act. Non-residential projects have a much lower cost recovery , providing the opportunity to increase those fees to help recover their proportional share. 4 Police Impact Fees
The City of Menifee used to contract for Police services; however, recently the City has transitioned to in-house services. In-house services allow the City to capture costs associated with City-owned Police facilities and vehicles. The Police Impact Fee is meant to offset the proportional impact of facility and equipment / vehicle costs. Through the course of this analysis, the impact fees were evaluated based upon the current projected impacts between 2021 and 2045. The following table compares the City’s current fees to the full cost fee calculated through this study, the resulting surplus / (deficit), and the cost recovery:
Table 4: Police Impact Fees – Current vs. Full Cost
Category Current Fee Full Cost Fee Surplus / (Deficit) Cost Recovery % Residential (per dwelling unit)
Single-Family $250 $1,390 ($1,140) 18%
Multi-Family $183 $1,088 ($905) 17%

Category Current Fee Full Cost Fee Surplus / (Deficit) Cost Recovery % Commercial / Non-Residential (per square foot)
Commercial / Retail $0.06 $0.68 ($0.62) 9%
Office $0.08 $1.86 ($1.78) 4%
Industrial $0.03 $0.25 ($0.22) 12%
The City is significantly under-recovering for its Police impact fees. The primary reason for the change in costs is due to the previous study being conducted when services were outsourced. Therefore, the previous analysis did not take into account any in-house vehicles or equipment.
5 Parks and Recreation Impact Fees
The City of Menifee currently assesses three different Parks-related impact fees. It was determined that for streamlining purposes those three fees should be combined into a singular fee to mitigate the impacts associated with recreational facilities, parks, and land development. Through the course of this analysis, the impact fees were evaluated based upon the current projected impacts between 2021 and 2045. The following table compares the City’s current fees to the full cost fee calculated through this study, the resulting surplus / (deficit), and the cost recovery:
Table 5: Parks and Recreation Impact Fees – Current vs. Full Cost
Category Current Fee1 Full Cost Fee Surplus / (Deficit) Cost Recovery % Single-Family $1,116 $1,723 ($607) 65%
Multi-Family $822 $1,348 ($526) 61%
The City is under-recovering for all its parks-related fees. The under-recovery is due to increased park demands and improvements needed due to future anticipated growth. It is important to note that these fees do not reflect the cost of land acquisition a s that is covered through the City’s Quimby Fee.
6 Transportation Impact Fees
The Transportation Impact fee is meant to offset impacts associated with traffic signals, transportation projects, grade separations, interchanges, and other circulation-related projects that are due to the anticipated growth within the community. Through the course of this analysis, the impact fees were evaluated based upon the current projected impacts between 2021 and 2045. The following table compares the City’s current fees to the full cost fee calculated through this study, the resulting surplus / (deficit), and the cost recovery:
1 This current fee is representative of all three current Parks -related fees charged by the City.

Commercial / Retail $8.38 $17.28 ($8.89) 49%
Office $6.44 $8.24 ($1.79) 78%
Industrial $4.27 $4.66 ($0.39) 92%
The full cost fee calculated through this study represents the maximum fee that the City can charge and is inclusive of the administrative fee allowable under the Mitigation Fee Act. The City is under-recovering for all its transportation fees. The lowest cost recovery is associated with the retail land use type, as this type generates a significant amount of trips and has a much larger impact on the overall transportation infrastructure, compared to other land uses, which generate fewer trips.
7 Storm Drain Impact Fees
The City of Menifee currently charges Storm Drain Fees based on geographic location:
Encanto and MDP South Region. Since the previous analysis, the City completed a Master Drainage Plan that broke the City into Sub-Basins and Watershed (the A_A represents Basin A with Sub-Basin or Watershed as A_B). Discussions with Public Works staff revealed that the fairest nexus would be by utilizing the growth projections anticipated in each sub-basin and watershed. Therefore, a structural change was proposed to charge based upon sub-basin and watershed. The following table shows by sub-basin / watershed and land use the full cost fee calculated:

8 Library Facilities and Master Planning
Through this study the Library Facilities and Master Planning and Nexus Analysis Impact fees are being recommended to be eliminated. The Library Facilities fee is being eliminated due to the City utilizing the County’s library facilities. The Master Planning and Nexus Analysis is being eliminated as this component has been built into each individual fee category. This ensures that if fees are not studied together, there is still the ability to cover the costs associated with a nexus analysis for a specific fee. 9 Summary
Through this analysis the majority of the City’s impact fees have been validated and shown to be under-recovering. The only fees which the City will need to reduce are related to the Animal Shelter, and the Single-Family Fire Impact Fee. The results of this analysis identify the City’s infrastructure needs for current and future growth, and the proportion that would be paid by future development. The following table shows by fee category, the total infrastructure cost needed, the portion to be borne by new development and the resulting gap:

Total $777,883,344 $319,484,099 $458,399,245
Based upon the analysis, the City has a need of approximately $777. 9 million in infrastructure, and if all impact fees were adopted at full cost, then new development would cover $319.5 million. The remaining $458.4 million gap would need to be recovered through other funding means.
Overall, this report details the calculations for each of the impact fees, as well as validates the nexus that exists between the full cost identified and the proportionate impact of new development.
4 Implementation
The impact fees calculated through this study are representa tive of the full cost associated with the proportionate share and impact of new development within the City.
City staff, management, and Council can utilize the information in this report to determine if new development should bear the full cost of their proportionate impact, or if this share should be reduced for development incentivization or other policy considerations and factors. The following subsections discuss the key aspects for impact fee implementation and updates, which include: collection of fees, annual reporting requirements, refunds / credits / appeals, and annual updates. 1 Collection of Impact Fees
Section 66007 of the California Government Code outlines when impact fees should be paid for residential and multi-family. Impact fees for Residential projects should be generally assessed and paid upon the date of final inspection or issuance of certificate of occupancy, which occurs first . For Multi-family projects, fees can be paid in phases based upon the dwelling units, at the completion of each unit’s final inspections, as long as it is at the final inspection or certificate of occupancy, whichever occurs last. There is no specific provision in the section regarding commercial, office, or industrial uses.

2 Annual Impact Fee Reporting Requirements
Section 66006 of the California Government Code dictates that once per year, within 180 days of the close of the fiscal year, the City must make available to the public detailed information regarding impact fees. This detailed information, should at a mini mum include:
• Impact Fee Description and Fund Number
• Impact Fee Amount
• Beginning and Ending balance of the account or fund.
• Amount of fees collected in the fiscal year being reported on and the total interest earned.
• Identification of project(s) on which the funds are being earmarked for. • Identification of the approximate date on which the projects would commence. • Identification of any interfund loans or transfers related to capital projects, and the amount of the transfer.
• Amount of any refunds or allocations made on behalf of the impact fee funds.
The above reports must be submitted and reviewed by City Council within 15 days of being posted publicly. Additionally, AB602 requires that the nexus analysis be made available publicly, along with the actual impact fee amount charged. 3 Refunds / Credits / Appeals / Waivers
Section 66001 of the California Government Code requires that every five years the City must make findings regarding the utilization of the impact fee revenue and / or proposed utilization of it within five years of collection. If such findings are not made within five years of impact fee collection, the City must refund the monies to the current record owner or owner of the lots or units.
As part of the adoption of the impact fee resolution, the City may choose to also identify circumstances or instances in which a developer could obtain credits, exemptions, or appeal fees. Fee credits are typically obtained in the case of redevelopment, for example, if a developer was to redevelop an existing 10 multi-unit complex into a 15 multi-unit complex, the developer retains credit for the 10 existing units and only pays impact fees on the 5 new units being added. This credit is only provided if the existing facility had already paid into impact fees. If the existing development had not paid any impact fees, there would be no credit applicable.
Impact fee resolution may also include a discussion regarding fee exemptions. If a development project is determined to have no documented impact on the facil ities for which the impact fees are being imposed, then the project may be exempt from impact

fees. The exemptions must not be granted by right and should be reviewed by City staff and Council to ensure that they are warranted and appropriate.
Any reductions in impact fees, or waivers or appeals regarding impact fees, would have to be determined by City staff and Council and would be granted depending upon the nature and proportion of the impact of the future / proposed development on future infrastructure needs. Depending upon the nature of the project and its documented impacts, there might be a more in-depth process necessary to ensure that all impact fees collected are fair, proportionate, and in compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act. 4 Annual Increases
The City’s current ordinances governing the impact fees provide the City with the ability to increase impact fees annually based upon the Construction Cost Index (CCI). This is considered a best practice and ensures that increases in construction costs are included in the impact fees and proportionate share is passed onto new development.
The annual increase is not meant to be an infinite increase in fees. Per the Mitigation Fee Act and Assembly Bill 602 the nexus for the impact fees should be reevaluated every eight years to ensure that there is still an appropriate correlation between the current fee being charged and proposed development within the City.

2. Legal Framework
Impact Fees are a mechanism for new development to pay for their proportionate share of impact upon City owned facilities and infrastructure. The following subsections discuss the State’s requirements for impact fees and the City’s legal authority for assessing these fees.
1 State Legal Authority – AB1600
Development Impact Fees are governed by the Mitigation Fee Act, which includes AB1600 and the recently enacted AB602.
AB1600 specifies that there needs to be a nexus between the collection of fees and the new residential and non-residential development within a City’s service area. It also states that this revenue can only be used to expand current or purchase of new facilities, infrastructure, and equipment. It does not allow for revenue to be used for staffing, maintenance, or other operational costs.
AB1600 under the Mitigation Fee Act requires that there be certain findings that have to be met in order for there to be a reasonable relationship or nexus between new development and the need for new facilities or infrastructure. The following points highlight each of the key finding requirements:
• Purpose of Fee: The specific types of facilities, infrastructure, equipment, and projects for which the impact fee will be utilized. It is important to note it cannot be utilized for operational purposes.
• Use of Fee Revenue: The revenue collected from the impact fees can only be used to fund specific facility expansions, infrastructure improvements, or to purchase new equipment.
• Benefit Relationship: The benefit relationship requires that the use of the impact fee revenue and the type of development project upon which it is imposed is reasonable.
• Impact Relationship: In order to establish an impact relationship there needs to be a clear and reasonable relationship between the need for the public facility or infrastructure and the type of development project upon which the fee is imposed.
DRAFT
A-51
DRAFT Development Impact Fee Study MENIFEE, CA

• Proportionality: The proportionality requirement states that the impact fee established must be directly related to the proportionate impact of the type of development project.
For each of the impact fees evaluated through this study, the individual chapter will discuss how the fee is able to meet the nexus criteria identified. 2 State Legal Authority – AB602
In January of 2022, Assembly Bill 602 (AB602) went into effect. This Bill is applicable to all impact fees that will be adopted / implemented January 1, 2022 or later. The bill has three main criteria:
1. Prior to the adoption of new impact fees a nexus study should be adopted.
2. The nexus study should highlight existing service levels, the new service level, and an explanation of why the new service level is appropriate.
3. A fee levied on housing development must be proportionate to the square footage of proposed units or make findings on why square footage is not the appropriate metric.
Along with these three criteria, some other key provisions of the bill include:
• Impact fees must be posted online – along with the nexus analysis. • All impact fees must be collected at time of final inspection or certificate of occupancy, whichever occurs later2.
• A member of the public and / or developer can submit evidence citing the inability of the impact fee to comply with AB602 and AB1600 (Mitigation Fee Act)3. • Impact fees nexus studies must be updated every 8 years .
AB602 also provides for a template to be developed by the State’s Department of Housing and Community Development prior to January 2024; however, at the time of this analysis, this template had not yet been created or made available to local jurisdictions. As such it was not utilized for the development of these impact fees. This report will serve as the City’s nexus analysis for its existing impact fees and will ensure that all criteria per AB602 are met and clearly outlined.

2 City Legal Authority for Impact Fees
The City of Menifee has the legal authority to charge for the impact fees identified as these fees are referenced in the municipal code and were adopted via resolution. The City’s current impact fees are governed by Menifee Municipal Code Chapter 8.02 – Development Impact Fees. This code states that the impact fees are to be set by Council resolution and to be in compliance with the state’s Mitigation Fee Act. The City’s most recent impact fee resolution was adopted on June 15, 2022. This resolution provided a list of all current impact fees based upon a 2017 Nexus Analysis study, with updated fee amounts. In accordance with the City’s Municipal Code, fees were updated annually based upon the Engineering Construction Cost Index (CCI) as adopted in the resolution.

3. Projected Growth and Development
The primary criteria for determining the projected impact of new development for impact fees is the amount of projected increase to the City’s population (residential and commercial). These projections then form the basis of impact fee calculations. In order to calculate the projected growth and development, as well as density requirements, the project team reviewed the following sources of data:
• Southern California of Governments (SCAG): Data from SCAG was utilized for 2045 Estimates regarding total number of residential and employment population within the City.
• California Department of Finance: Data from Department of Finance was used to estimate the current population for the City of Menifee.
• US Census Bureau: The Census Bureau’s ‘On the map, Population, and American Community Survey’ (ACS) information was used to calculate residential densities and employment information.
The information from these sources was utilized to calculate the projected increase in population as well as resulting population densities. The following subsections discuss the population projections calculated and the population densities used to calculate the impact fees.
1 Population Projections
The basis for impact fees is predicated on sufficient population growth that results in a meaningful impact on city infrastructure. The following table shows data for the 2021 residential and employment population, 2045 estimates, and associated increases for the City of Menifee:
Table 9: Population Growth Projection through 2045
Category 2021 Estimates 2045 Estimates Total Projected Increase Residential Population 103,6174 147,9725 44,355
Employment Population 14,2006 29,2007 15,000
4 The 2021 residential population estimate is based upon the California Department of Finance for Menifee . 5 The 2045 estimate is based upon taking the 2022 population for Menifee from the California Department of Finance, which represents a 14% increase from SCAG 2020 estimates, so then the 2045 SCAG estimate is increased by 14% to arrive at 147,972. 6 The 2021 employment information is based on US Census Data “On the Map for All Jobs ’ for Menifee for 2019 (most recent information available). This amount was lower than SCAG’s projection of 16,200 as such this number was chosen. 7 Represents SCAG’s 2045 projection of employment in Menifee. Based upon discussion with City planning staff it was determined that the 2045 estimate for SCAG was appropriate and should be utilized.

As the table indicates, based upon population projections, the overall population is expected to increase by approximately 44,000 for residents and 15,000 for employment.
The numbers noted in this table were used as the basis for all of the proportionate impact calculations throughout this study, with employment information utilized for calculations associated with non-residential projected growth.
2 Population Densities
In addition to the population projection information, the other set of data that is consistently utilized in the calculations is the density associated with residential and non- residential categories. The following subsections discuss the population densit y assumptions utilized in the calculation of all impact fees in this report. 1 Residential Population Density
Residential development can be extremely diverse ranging from single family to multi- family. The City of Menifee captures this diversity by splitting it into two different categories: single family and multi-family. The project team utilized information from the American Community Survey (ACS)8 regarding the total population per dwelling unit type and the total number of dwelling units to come up with the resulting average population density per unit for Menifee. The following table shows this calculation:
Table 10: Residential Population Density
Category Total Population Total # of Units Population / Unit (Avg. Density) Single-Family 79,554 27,075 2.94
2-4 Units 722 337 2.14
5+ Units 3,345 1,428 2.34
Mobile Home 6,217 2,181 2.85
Multi-Family Composite 4,067 1,765 2.30
The total population for each density category was divided by the associated number of dwelling units in order to determine the average population per density type. The average density per unit is multiplied by the cost per capita calculation to derive the base impact fee. For all fee categories, the Single Family and Multi-Family Densities are used.
Under AB602, there is a mandate to shift all density factors per dwelling unit to be based upon the square footage of the unit, rather than it being an ADU, Single-Family, or Multi- Family housing unit. However, the bill also states that if there is a stronger nexus that exists to utilize an alternative methodology, that methodology should be clearly explained and the stronger nexus must be demonstrated. Additionally, the bill also states that there

must be other policies in the fee structure that support smaller developments, or otherwise ensure that small developments are not charged disproportionate fees.
The type of dwelling unit is utilized in the table above because the housing density factor determines the fee levied per unit. Based on regional and state estimates, the project team determined the average density for a single-family unit compared to multi-family unit. It is the people residing in the housing development that generate the impact on local government infrastructure and services, not the size of the development. If a single- family home is 1,500 sq. ft. or 2, 200 sq. ft. but has 3 residents, its impact on roadways, or need for police and fire services, and / or use of parks services will be the same.
Therefore, having a larger housing development does not generate the need for additional impact; it is the population density associated with the type of dwelling unit that creates further impacts. Thus, determining fees based on the density rather than the size of a dwelling allows the City to show the strongest nexus between the fee and the impact.
Moreover, utilizing the density factor of the dwelling unit does, in fact, take into account the sizing (square footage) of the housing development. The multi-family unit has a lower population density (2.30) compared to the single-family population density (2.94).
Therefore, when calculating impact fees, the largest fee would be for single-family and the lowest fees would be for multi-family. ADU projects would pay their proportionate share of single-family projects as dictated by state legislation and would ensure that smaller square footage developments (e.g., ADUs) would pay a lower fee than larger square footage developments (e.g., single-family home).
Lastly, under the Mitigation Fee Act, the proportionality for impact fees for residential development is based on residential population growth. The population growth is tied most directly to the individuals residing within a housing development (i.e., the average residential density) rather than the size of the housing developments.
Therefore, based upon these reasons, the project team has calculated all housing development impact fees based upon the type of dwelling unit (e.g., Single Family, Multi- Family, ADU) rather than the proportionate square footage. The per-dwelling unit fee for each type of dwelling unit is based on the average residential density within each type of dwelling unit. This will ensure that the City is able to meet the nexus and proportionality criteria of AB 1600 (Mitigation Fee Act) and AB 602 as well as allow for fair and defensible application of impact fees. Each chapter will continue to demonstrate how the use of per unit still results in a fair and equitable assessment of fees, and that larger projects such as single family homes pay more than the ADUs.

2 Non-Residential / Commercial Density
Similar to the residential density calculation, a calculation was performed for non- residential development within the City. The City utilizes three main commercial categories – Commercial / Retail, Office, and Industrial. The previous study utilized the 2001 Natelson Group report for employment densities for SCAG. The City currently contracts with the Natelson Group for other long-range planning efforts and the City contacted the group for updated employment densities. The following table shows the updated employment density associated with each non-residential category type:
Table 11: Non-Residential Population Density
Category Density (Sq. Ft. Per Employee)
Commercial / Retail9 550
Office 200
Industrial 1,500
The density (square footage per employee) is multiplied by the cost per capita calculation to derive the base impact fee.
It is important to note that the nex us analysis utilizes standard generic land use categories such as Commercial / Retail, Office, and Industrial. However, there are many projects that don’t necessarily fit one of these categories specifically. Along with this nexus study, the City will adopt a resolution, which will typically define the detailed types associated with each larger use type. For example, convenience stores associated with a gas station would be considered retail. Medical offices or business offices or banks would be considered office. Similarly, the resolution would also identify projects that are considered exempt such as residential accessory structures or buildings within HOA parks.
The following chapters utilize the assumptions included in this section to help project the proportionate impact of new development on the City’s existing and proposed infrastructure.
9 This is meant to be a catch-all land use category that can cover any type of commercial use that is not office or industrial in nature.

4. Animal Shelter
The City of Menifee is part of a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) with Southwest Communities Financing Authority (SCFA) through which it receives Animal Sheltering services. The JPA members are the owners of the facility and have issued a bond for the purchase of the Animal Shelter facility. Therefore, Menifee as a member organization contributes to the shelter infrastructure cost through an annual debt service payment.
The proposed Animal Shelter impact fee would be used to offset the debt service payment associated with future development utilizing the Animal Shelter facility . The following subsections discuss the growth assumptions utilized, cost components included, resulting impact fee calculation s, ability to meet the nexus criteria, and a comparative analysis of Animal Shelter Impact fees.
1 Growth Assumptions
The City of Menifee’s Animal Sheltering services are provided through the JPA, which has a contract with Animal Friends of the Valley. The Animal Shelter is located in the City of Wildomar and serves all member agency residents. The member agencies for the JPA are nearby Riverside County cities. Due to the nature of the Animal Shelter and it serving multiple communities, for simplicity purposes it is being assumed that only residents within the City of Menifee benefit from the Animal Shelter. While non-residents, or employees that don’t live within Menifee could utilize the Shelter, the assumption is that those employees or non-residents are likely residents of other JPA member agencies and as such receive the benefit of the facility through their residential area. Therefore, the primary beneficiary of animal sheltering services is the residential population. The shelter will provide service to both existing and future population. The following table shows the current population, the future population, and the projected increase:
Table 12: Future Population Increase
Category Existing Population 2045 Population Population Increase Residential 103,617 147,972 44,355
As the table indicates, the projected increase in the residential population is approximately 44,000, which reflects a 43% increase compared to the existing population.
Therefore, future development should bear approximately 43% of the costs.

2 Cost Components and Assumptions
The only infrastructure cost for the Animal Shelter is the annual debt service made by the City of Menifee. This debt service payment changes every year based upon the proportion of animals serviced by each member agency. However, the project team worked with City staff to identify the most recent debt service amount. The following table shows by category, the quantity, the unit cost, the total cost, the lifecycle, and the average annual cost:
Table 13: Animal Shelter Cost Components
Item Quantity Unit Cost Total Cost Lifecycle Avg Annual Cost Bond Payment 1 $185,878 $185,878 1 $185,878
Nexus Analysis 1 $10,000 $10,000 5 $2,000
The average annual cost for the Animal Shelter is multiplied against the 24-year planning horizon to calculate the total cost associated with City infrastructure. The following table shows this calculation for the 24-year planning period:
Table 14: Total Projected Animal Shelter Infrastructure Cost – 24 years
Category Average Annual Cost Planning Horizon Total Cost Bond Payment $185,878 1710 $3,159,926
Nexus Analysis $2,000 24 $48,000
TOTAL $3,207,926
Overall, in the next 24 years, Animal Shelter infrastructure will require approximately $3.2 million to meet the needs of the existing and future populations of the City.
In addition to the $3.2 million in costs, the other cost component to be considered is an administrative fee. For purposes of this study, the project team calculated the administrative fee based upon the total indirect costs allocated to all Impact Fee funds from the FY 2022 Citywide Cost Allocation Plan and the average of the revenue collected by impact fee funds over the last three years. The following table shows this calculation:
Table 15: Impact Fee – Admin Fee Calculation
Category Impact Fee Funds
Citywide Overhead $165,243
Impact Fee Revenue – 3 year average $5,877,779
ADMIN FEE RATE 2.80%

DRAFT

DRAFT Development Impact Fee Study MENIFEE, CA
Matrix Consulting Group 20
The proposed administrative fee for all impact fees would be 2.80%, which is higher than the current 2.50% administrative fee. This 2.80% accounts for support provided by City staff in the monitoring and reporting of impact fee funds. 3 Impact Fee Calculations
As the previous section calculated, the total infrastructure needs for the Animal Shelter are approximately $3.2 million. However, not all of this cost should be borne by the future population. Based upon the growth assumptions analysis, 43% of these costs should be borne by the future population. The following table shows the calculation for costs to be borne by future residential populations:
Table 16: Projected Cost Calculation Between Existing and Future Population
Category Infrastructure Costs Proportion Total Cost to Be Borne Current Population $3,207,926 57% $1,828,518
Future Population $3,207,926 43% $1,379,408
Of the $3.2 million, $1.4 million should be borne by the future population. This $1.4 million is divided by the total projected population increase, to calculate the cost per capita, as shown in the following table:
Table 17: Projected Cost for New Development – Per Capita
Category Infrastructure Costs Projected Population Increase Cost / Capita Residential $1,379,408 44,355 $31
The cost per capita ($31) was then converted into a cost per dwelling unit based upon the density factors discussed in the projected growth and development chapter. The following table shows this calculation:
Table 18: Animal Shelter Impact Fee Calculation
Category Cost Per Capita Density / Unit Impact Fee
Single-Family $31 2.94 $91 per dwelling unit
Multi-Family $31 2.30 $71 per dwelling unit
As the table indicates, the cost per dwelling unit varies from a low of $71 for multi-family to a high of $ 91 for single-family homes. To calculate the full allowable fee, the 2.80% administrative fee is applied to the impact fee. The following table shows this calculation:

Table 19: Animal Shelter Impact Fee Calculation Including Administrative Fee
Category Impact Fee Admin Fee Total Impact Fee
Single-Family $91 $3 $94 per dwelling unit
Multi-Family $71 $2 $73 per dwelling unit
The addition of the administrative fee captures the full cost associated with the proportionate impact of future development. The following table compares the current Animal Shelter Impact Fees to the full cost impact fee, and the associated surplus / (deficit).
Table 20: Animal Shelter Impact Fee – Current vs. Full Cost
Category Current Fee Full Cost Fee Surplus / (Deficit)
Single-Family $160 $94 $66
Multi-Family $118 $73 $45
As the table indicates, all impact fees are currently over-recovering compared to the full cost. This is due to the prior nexus analysis assuming that the City would build its own animal shelter facility and equipment (as it was not a member agency of the JPA).
However, due to the change, this results in a slightly more cost-effective approach for the City as it relates to infrastructure and results in fees needing to be reduced. 4 Nexus Criteria
As discussed in the legal framework section, in order for an impact fee to be implemented it must meet all five of the nexus criteria as established per the Mitigation Fee Act. The following table outlines each criterion point, and how the proposed Animal Shelter Impact fee meets the Mitigation Fee Act criteria.
Table 21: Animal Shelter Impact Fees Nexus Criteria

Purpose of Fee
The purpose of the fee would be to fund the debt service associated with the existing Animal Shelter, including any expansions needed to serve the increased population for the City.

Criteria Meet Don’t Meet
Benefit Relationship
The use of the impact fee revenue would be to expand or improve the existing Animal Shelter facility, which would be directly proportional to the increased wear and tear and use of the facility as there is new residential growth in the City.
The increase in residential population is related to the number of dwelling units and the impact fee would be
applicable to dwelling units.
Impact Relationship
Based upon the addition of new residents there would be a need for expanded facilities.
Proportionality
The proposed impact fee would be a flat fee per dwelling unit depending upon the density of the housing units to capture the residential impacts as the primary mechanism for addition of residential population to the City is through increased dwelling units.
As the table demonstrates, the City is able to meet all five of the criteria necessary to impose an Animal Shelter Development Impact Fee.
5 Comparative Survey
As part of this impact fee analysis, the project team conducted a comparative survey of surrounding jurisdictions who charge an Animal Shelter Impact Fee. The following table compares the City’s current fee and full cost for Animal Shelter to other surveyed jurisdictions in the region, which charge an Animal Shelter impact fee:
Table 22: Animal Shelter Development Impact Fee Comparative Survey
Jurisdiction Single-Family Multi-Family
Menifee – Current $160 $118
Menifee – Full Cost $94 $73
Lake Elsinore $348 $299
There is only one other jurisdiction that charges an Animal Shelter impact fee and that is Lake Elsinore, which is also part of the JPA. Menifee’s current and full cost fees are less than Lake Elsinore’s fees.

5. General Government
General Government refers to City Hall and other governmental infrastructure that is not covered through other impact fees (i.e. Police, Fire, Parks, Traffic, Storm Drain, etc.). The following subsections discuss the growth assumptions utilized, cost components included, resulting impact fee calculation, ability to meet the nexus criteria, and a comparative analysis of General Government fees.
1 Growth Assumptions
General Government consists of City Hall, Public Works facilities, Internet infrastructure, and Public Works and City vehicles. Staff located within these facilities and using that equipment provide services to current and future residents and employees. These services benefit both existing and future development. To determine the proportionate share of existing and future development, the project team calculated the future service population for the City. An employee working within the City does not have the same tendency to use City services as a resident, as such their impact and weight should be proportionately less. The following table shows the current population for each category, the proportionate weight and the equivalent residential population:
Table 23: Future Weighted Service Population Increase
Category Existing Population
Projected
Increase Weight Factor
Weighted Population
Increase
Residential 103,617 44,355 1.00 44,355 Commercial 14,200 15,000 0.2411 3,600 TOTAL 117,817 59,375 47,955
As the table indicates, the projected increase in the service population is approximately 47,955 which reflects a 41% increase compared to the existing population. Therefore, future development should bear approximately 41% of the costs. 2 Cost Components and Assumptions
Due to the projected increase in residential and non-residential population there will be an impact on the City’s infrastructure. The planning horizon for the impact fee is 24 years (2021 through 2045) and while the department intends to purchase some additional equipment and relocate facilities, it will also need to replace existing equipment and upgrade its facilities during that span. A proportionate share of those upgrades should

be borne by future development as future development will benefit from that equipment and the facilities. The following table provides information regarding general government equipment, vehicle, and facility costs based upon existing and planned facilities.

NEXUS ANALYSIS 1 $10,000 $10,000 5 $2,000
The average annual cost for City equipment is multiplied against the 24-year planning horizon to calculate the total cost associated with City equipment based upon the three categories: Existing, Planned, and Nexus Analysis. The following table shows this calculation for the 24-year planning period:
Table 25: Total Projected Infrastructure Cost – 24 years
Category Average Annual Cost Planning Horizon Total Cost Public Facilities $1,791,667 24 $43,000,008

Nexus Analysis $2,000 24 $48,000
TOTAL $2,304,417 24 $55,306,008
Overall, in the next 24 years General Governmental infrastructure will require approximately $55.3 million to meet the needs of the existing and future populations of the City.
In addition to the $55.3 million in costs, the other cost component to be considered is the administrative fee. For purposes of this study, the project team calculated the administrative fee based upon the total indirect costs allocated to all Impact Fee funds from the FY 2022 Citywide Cost Allocation Plan and the average of the revenue collected by impact fee funds over the last three years. The following table shows this calculation:

The proposed administrative fee for all impact fees would be 2.80%, which is higher than the current 2.50% administrative fee. This 2.80% accounts for support provided by City staff in the monitoring and reporting of impact fee funds. 3 Impact Fee Calculations
As the previous section calculated, the total infrastructure needs for General Government Facilities are approximately $55.3 million. However, not all of this cost should be borne by future populations. Based upon the growth assumptions analysis, 41% of these costs should be borne by the future population. The following table shows th e calculation for costs to be borne by future residential and non-residential populations:
Table 27: Projected Cost Calculation Between Existing and Future Population
Category Infrastructure Costs Proportion Total Cost to Be Borne Current Population $55,306,008 59% $32,630,545
Future Population $55,306,008 41% $22,675,463
Of the $55.3 million, $22.7 million should be borne by the future population. This $ 22.7 million is split between residential and commercial based upon the proportion of residential and commercial use of the services. The following table shows the future infrastructure cost and the proportion between residential and commercial.
Table 28: Projected Cost for New Development – Residential and Commercial
Category Infrastructure Costs Proportion of Use Total Cost to Be Borne Residential $22,675,463 76% $17,233,352
Commercial $22,675,463 24% $5,442,111
Approximately $17.2 million of the $22.7 million is residential, and the remaining $ 5.5 million is commercial-related. The $ 17.2 and $ 5.5 million are divided by the total projected population increases, to calculate the cost per capita, as shown in the following table:
Table 29: Projected Cost for New Development – Per Capita
Category Infrastructure Costs Projected Population Increase Cost / Capita Residential $17,233,352 44,355 $389
Commercial $5,442,111 15,000 $363
The cost per capita from this table was converted into a cost per dwelling unit and cost per sq. ft. based upon the density factors discussed in the projected growth and development chapter. The following table shows this calculation:

Office $363 200 $1.82 per sq. ft.
Industrial $363 1,500 $0.24 per sq. ft.
As the table above indicates, the cost per dwelling unit varies from a low of $895 for multi- family to a high of $ 1,144 for single-family homes. The fees for commercial and non- residential vary from $0.24 per square foot for industrial to a high of $1.82 per square foot for office properties. To calculate the full allowable fee, the 2.80% administrative fee is applied to the impact fee. The following table shows this calculation:

Office $1.81 $0.05 $1.87 per sq. ft.
Industrial $0.24 $0.01 $0.25 per sq. ft.
The addition of the administrative fee captures the full cost associated with the proportionate impact of future development. The following table compares the current General Government Impact Fee to the full cost impact fee, and the associated surplus / (deficit).

Retail $0.28 $0.68 ($0.40)
Commercial / Office $0.37 $1.87 ($1.50)
Industrial $0.14 $0.25 ($0.11)
As the table indicates, all current impact fees are under-recovering compared to the full cost. These fees have not been updated in five years, and as such some of the projected increases in fees would be expected due to cost factor increases. Furthermore, other

projected increases have to do with increased costs associated with facility, equipment acquisition, and replacement.
4 Nexus Criteria
As discussed in the legal framework section, in order for an impact fee to be implemented it must meet all five of the nexus criteria as established per the Mitigation Fee Act. The following table outlines each criterion point, and how the proposed General Government Impact fee meets the Mitigation Fee Act criteria.
Table 33: General Government Impact Fees Nexus Criteria
Criteria Meet Don’t Meet
Purpose of Fee
The purpose of the fee would be to upgrade existing City Hall, Public Works Facilities, City vehicles and equipment.
Use of Fee Revenue
The Public Works Department has detailed capital
improvement plans that outline the utilization of this fee revenue for current and future years to help ensure that there is appropriate expansion of City facilities and
equipment to meet the needs of the City.
Benefit Relationship
The use of the impact fee revenue would be to rehabilitate existing facilities and equipment due to new development.
New residents and employees receive benefits from
improved equipment and access to infrastructure.
Impact Relationship
The addition of new residents and employees would have
an impact on the ability of the City to meet all the needs.
Therefore, the cost associated with adding additional
equipment or expanding facilities to accommodate
additional staff to allow for appropriate handling of the new growth would be borne by new residents or employees.
Proportionality
The proposed impact fee is calculated based upon
proportionality of projected growth with the greatest
impact by residential areas, followed by commercial areas.
The fees are calculated on a per dwelling unit for
residential properties and on a per sq. ft. basis for
commercial properties as the impact is more space based rather than unit based.
As the table demonstrates, the City is able to meet all five of the criteria necessary to impose a General Government Impact Fee.

6. Fire
The City of Menifee contracts for Fire Prevention and Fire Suppression services with the County of Riverside. However, all infrastructure – Fire Stations and Vehicles / Equipment are owned by the City of Menifee. Therefore, the City of Menifee assesses an impact fee to recover the costs associated with Fire Infrastructure. The following subsections discuss the growth assumptions utilized, cost components included, resulting impact fee calculation, ability to meet the nexus criteria, and a comparative analysis of Fire fees. 1 Growth Assumptions
The Fire Department serves both residential and commercial populations (employees).
Future increased development would result in the need for expanded or relocated Fire stations, additional equipment and vehicles. The primary goal of the Fire Department is to provide fire prevention and suppression services within the City. These services benefit both existing and future development to determine the proportionate share of existing and future development, the project team calculated the future service population for the City. An employee working within the City does not have the same tendency to use fire services as a resident, as such their impact and weight should be proportionately less.
The following table shows the current population for each category, the proportionate weight and the equivalent residential population:
Table 36: Future Weighted Service Population Increase
Category Existing Population
Projected
Increase Weight Factor

Residential 103,617 44,355 1.00 44,375 Commercial 14,200 15,000 0.4212 6,300 TOTAL 117,817 59,375 50,655
As the table indicates, the projected increase in the service population is approximately 50,655, which reflects a 43% increase compared to the existing population. Therefore, future development should bear approximately 43% of the costs. 2 Cost Components and Assumptions
Due to the projected increase in residential and non-residential population there will be an impact on the department’s infrastructure. The planning horizon for the impact fee is 24 years (2021 through 2045) and while the department intends to purchase some

additional equipment and relocate facilities, it will also need to replace existing equipment and upgrade its facilities during that span. A proportionate share of those upgrades should be borne by future development as future development will benefit from that equipment and the facilities. The following table provides information regarding fire equipment, vehicle, and facility costs based upon existing and planned facilities.

7. Police
The City of Menifee used to contract with Riverside County for Law Enforcement services until 2019. In 2019, the City formed its own Police department and therefore owns all police-related infrastructure. Hence, the City of Menifee assesses an impact fee to recover the costs associated with Police Infrastructure. The following subsections discuss the growth assumptions utilized, cost components included, resulting impact fee calculation, ability to meet the nexus criteria, and a comparative analysis of Police fees. 1 Growth Assumptions
The Police Department serves both residential and commercial populations (employees).
Future increased development would result in the need for expanded or relocated Police stations, additional equipment, and vehicles. The primary goal of the Police Department is to provide law enforcement services. These services benefit both existing and future development, therefore, to determine the proportionate share of existing and future development, the project team calculated the future service population for the City. An employee working within the City does not have the same tendency to use police services as a resident, as such their impact and weight should be proportionately less. The following table shows the current population for each category, the proportionate weight, and the equivalent residential population:
Table 49: Future Weighted Service Population Increase
Category Existing Population
Projected
Increase Weight Factor
Weighted Population
Increase
Residential 103,617 44,355 1.00 44,355 Commercial 14,200 15,000 0.2113 3,150 TOTAL 117,817 59,375 47,505
As the table indicates, the projected increase in the service population is approximately 47,505, which reflects a 40% increase compared to the existing population. Therefore, future development should bear approximately 40% of the costs. 2 Cost Components and Assumptions
Due to the projected increase in residential and non-residential population there will be an impact on the department’s infrastructure. The planning horizon for the impact fee is 24 years (2021 through 2045). A proportionate share of those upgrades should be borne
13 To calculate the employee weight factor, the project team utilized the 2021 YTD (Jan – Nov 30) proportion of police calls for service that are commercial relative to residential calls for service.

The average annual cost for Police equipment is multiplied against the 24-year planning horizon to calculate the total cost associated with Police equipment based upon the categories of fleet, radios / cameras, facilities, and nexus analysis . The following table shows this calculation for the 24-year planning period:
Table 51: Total Projected Infrastructure Cost – 24 years

Nexus Analysis $2,000 24 $48,000
TOTAL $2,687,423 24 $64,498,152
Overall, in the next 24 years the Police Department will require approximately $64.5 million to meet the needs of existing and future populations of the City.
In addition to the $64.5 million in costs, the other cost component to be considered is the administrative fee. For purposes of this study, the project team calculated the administrative fee based upon the total indirect costs allocated to the all Impact Fee funds from the FY 2022 Citywide Cost Allocation Plan and the average of the revenue collected by impact fee funds over the last three years. The following table shows this calculation:
Table 52: Impact Fee – Admin Fee Calculation
Category Impact Fee Funds
Citywide Overhead $165,243
Impact Fee Revenue – 3 year average $5,877,779
ADMIN FEE RATE 2.80%
The proposed administrative fee for all impact fees would be 2.80%, which is higher than the current 2 .50% administrative fee. This 2.80% accounts for support provided by City staff in the monitoring and reporting of impact fee funds. 3 Impact Fee Calculations
As the previous section calculated, the total infrastructure needs for the Police Department are approximately $64.5 million. However, not all of this cost should be borne by the future population. Based upon the growth assumptions analysis, 40% of these costs should be borne by the future population. The following table shows the calculation for costs to be borne by future residential and non-residential populations:

Future Population $64,498,152 40% $25,799,261
Of the $64.5 million, $25.8 million should be borne by the future population. This $ 25.8 million is split between residential and commercial based upon the proportion of calls for service for residential and commercial. The following table shows by future population cost, the proportion between residential and commercial to show the total cost:
Table 54: Projected Cost for New Development – Residential and Commercial
Category Infrastructure Costs Proportion of Calls for Service Total Cost to Be Borne Residential $25,799,261 79% $20,381,416
Commercial $25,799,261 21% $5,417,845
Approximately $20.4 million of the $ 25.8 million is residential and the remaining $5.4 million is commercial-related. The $20.4 and $5.4 million is divided by the total projected population increase, to calculate the cost per capita, as shown in the following table:
Table 55: Projected Cost for New Development – Per Capita
Category Infrastructure Costs Projected Population Increase Cost / Capita Residential $20,381,416 44,355 $460
Commercial $5,417,845 15,000 $361
The cost per capita from this table was converted into a cost per dwelling unit and cost per sq. ft. based upon the density factors discussed in the projected growth and development chapter. The following table shows this calculation:
Table 56: Police Impact Fee Calculation
Category Cost Per Capita Density Impact Fee
Residential
Single-Family $460 2.94 $1,352 per dwelling unit
Multi-Family $460 2.30 $1,058 per dwelling unit
Non-Residential
Commercial / Retail $361 550 $0.66 per sq. ft.
Office $361 200 $1.81 per sq. ft.
Industrial $361 1,500 $0.24 per sq. ft.
As the table above indicates, the cost per dwelling unit varies from a low of $1, 058 for multi-family to a high of $1,352 for single-family homes. The fees for commercial and non-residential vary from a low of $0.24 per square foot for industrial to a high of $1.81

per square foot for office properties. To calculate the full allowable fee, the 2.80% administrative fee is applied to the impact fee. The following table shows this calculation:
Table 57: Police Impact Fee Calculation Including Administrative Fee
Category Impact Fee Admin Fee Total Impact Fee
Residential
Single-Family $1,352 $38 $1,390 per dwelling unit
Multi-Family $1,058 $30 $1,088 per dwelling unit

Commercial / Retail $0.66 $0.02 $0.68 per sq. ft.
Office $1.81 $0.05 $1.86 per sq. ft.
Industrial $0.24 $0.01 $0.25 per sq. ft.
The addition of the administrative fee captures the full cost associated with the proportionate impact of future development. The following table compares the current Police Impact Fee to the fire full cost impact fee, and the associated surplus / (deficit).
Table 58: Police Impact Fee – Current vs. Full Cost
Category Current Fee Full Cost Fee Surplus / (Deficit)
Residential (per dwelling unit)
Single-Family $250 $1,390 ($1,140)
Multi-Family $183 $1,088 ($905)
Commercial / Non-Residential (per square foot)
Commercial / Retail $0.06 $0.68 ($0.62)
Office $0.08 $1.86 ($1.78)
Industrial $0.03 $0.25 ($0.22)
As the table indicates, all current impact fees are under-recovering compared to the full cost. The primary reason for the significant difference in impact fees is due to the current fees being based on the analysis when infrastructure was not owned, but contracted out, as such there was minimal cost included in the previous analysis. The current analysi s considers all equipment and facility needs.
4 Nexus Criteria
As discussed in the legal framework section, in order for an impact fee to be implemented it must meet all five of the nexus criteria as established per the Mitigation Fee Act. The following table outlines each criterion point, and how the proposed Police Impact fee meets the Mitigation Fee Act criteria.
DRAFT
A-81
DRAFT Development Impact Fee Study MENIFEE, CA
Matrix Consulting Group 42
Table 59: Police Impact Fees Nexus Criteria
Criteria Meet Don’t Meet
Purpose of Fee
The purpose of the fee would be to upgrade existing Police headquarters, as well as purchase and replace police
vehicles and equipment.
Use of Fee Revenue
The Police Department has detailed capital improvement
plans that outline the utilization of this fee revenue for current and future years to help ensure that there is
appropriate expansion of police facilities and equipment to meet the public safety goals of the City.
Benefit Relationship
The use of the impact fee revenue would be to build a new EOC facility and headquarters as well as to accommodate the appropriate number of vehicles that are needed to
provide public safety services. New residents and
employees receive benefits from increased equipment and more efficient response times.
Impact Relationship
The addition of new residents and employees would have
an impact on the ability of the Police department to
respond adequately, including in an efficient manner.
Therefore, the cost associated with adding additional
equipment or expanding facilities to accommodate
additional staff to allow for responses should be borne by new residents or employees.
Proportionality
The proposed impact fee is calculated based upon
proportionality of projected growth with the greatest
impact by residential areas, followed by commercial areas.
The fees are calculated on a per dwelling unit for
residential properties and on a per sq. ft. basis for
commercial properties as the impact is more space based rather than unit based.
As the table demonstrates, the City is able to meet all five of the criteria necessary to impose a Police Development Impact Fee.
5 Comparative Survey
As part of this impact fee analysis, the project team conducted a comparative survey of surrounding jurisdictions who charge a Police Impact Fee. The following table compares the City’s current fee and full cost to other surveyed jurisdictions in the region, which charge a police impact fee:

8. Parks and Recreation
The City of Menifee provides Parks and Recreation services through its many parks and recreation centers. The City currently assess three different types of Parks and Recreation fees:
1. Public Use Facilities: This is in relation to the recreation center (s) that are to be built and rehabilitated within the City of Menifee.
2. Parks – Land Improvements: This is in relation to developing any land or land acquisitions (outside of the Quimby process) for parks.
3. Parks – Improvements: This is in relation to any park facility improvements such as playground equipment, benches, etc.
Through this study it was proposed that these three fees should be consolidated into a singular Parks and Recreation Impact Fee, which would cover all infrastructure.
Additionally, any land acquisition costs were removed as those are intended to be funded through the Quimby fee. The following subsections discuss the growth assumptions utilized, cost components included, resulting impact fee calculation, abil ity to meet the nexus criteria, and a comparative analysis of Parks and Recreation Impact fees. 1 Growth Assumptions
The Community Services Department or Parks and Recreation primarily serves the residential population within the City of Menifee. While non-residents may utilize park facilities, for the strongest nexus, only residential population growth has been factored into this analysis. Future increased development would result in the need for expanded facilities, newer equipment, and new parks. The current recreation facilities benefit both existing and future development and to determine the proportionate share of existing and future development, the project team calculated the future service population for the City.
The following table shows the current population, the future population, and the projected increase:
Table 62: Future Population Increase
Category Existing Population 2045 Population Population Increase Residential 103,617 147,972 44,355
As the table indicates, the projected increase in the residential population is approximately 44,000, which reflects approximately a 43% increase compared to the
DRAFT
A-84
DRAFT Development Impact Fee Study MENIFEE, CA
Matrix Consulting Group 45
existing population. Therefore, future development should bear approximately 43% of the costs.
2 Cost Components and Assumptions
Due to the projected increase in residential population there will be an impact on the department’s infrastructure. The City of Menifee last completed a Parks Master Plan in 2016 and is currently in the process of updating this Master Plan. The project team worked with City staff to identify projects from the Master Plan that had been completed and others that had been identified to be done based upon population growth. Additional projects beyond the master plan were also identified. The following table shows by project type, the proposed amount:

TOTAL COST $58,798,000
Overall, the Community Services Department will require approximately $58.8 million to meet the needs of existing and future populations of the City. This need is for the projection of the Master Plan which is approximately 25 years.
In addition to the $58.8 million in costs, the other cost component to be considered is the administrative fee. For purposes of this study, the project team calculated the administrative fee based upon the total indirect costs allocated to all Impact Fee funds
14 Represents an average cost of $10,000 for every 5 years, which is $2,000 per year. The $2,000 per year is multiplied by 24 years (the planning horizon) to come up with the $48,000 nexus amount.

The proposed administrative fee for all impact fees would be 2.80%, which is higher than the current 2.50% administrative fee. This 2.80% accounts for support provided by City staff in the monitoring and reporting of impact fee funds. 3 Impact Fee Calculations
As the previous section calculated, the total infrastructure needs for Parks and Recreation are approximately $58.8 million. However, not all of this cost should be borne by the future population. Based upon the growth assumptions analysis, 43% of these costs should be borne by the future population. The following table shows the calculation for costs to be borne by future residential populations:

Category Infrastructure Costs Proportion Total Cost to Be Borne Current Population $58,798,000 57% $33,514,860
Future Population $58,798,000 43% $25,283,140
Of the $58.8 million, $25.3 million should be borne by the future population. This $ 25.3 million is divided by the total projected population increase, to calculate the cost per capita, as shown in the following table:
Table 66: Projected Cost for New Development – Per Capita
Category Infrastructure Costs Projected Population Increase Cost / Capita Residential $25,283,140 44,355 $570
The cost per capita from this table was converted into a cost per dwelling unit based upon the density factors discussed in the projected growth and development chapter. The following table shows this calculation:
Table 67: Parks and Recreation Impact Fee Calculation

As the table indicates, the cost per dwelling unit varies from a low of $ 1,311 for multi- family to a high of $1,676 for single-family homes. To calculate the full allowable fee, the
2.80% administrative fee is applied to the impact fee. The following table shows this calculation:

Category Impact Fee Admin Fee Total Impact Fee
Single-Family $1,676 $47 $1,723 per dwelling unit
Multi-Family $1,311 $37 $1,348 per dwelling unit
The addition of the administrative fee captures the full cost associated with the proportionate impact of future development. The following table compares the current Parks and Recreation Impact Fees to the full cost impact fees, and the associated surplus / (deficit).

As the table indicates, all impact fees are under-recovering compared to the full cost. 4 Nexus Criteria
As discussed in the legal framework section, in order for an impact fee to be implemented it must meet all five of the nexus criteria as established per the Mitigation Fee Act. The following table outlines each criterion point, and how the proposed Parks and Recreation Impact fee meets the Mitigation Fee Act criteria.

DRAFT Development Impact Fee Study MENIFEE, CA
Matrix Consulting Group 48
Criteria Meet Don’t Meet
Benefit Relationship
The use of the impact fee revenue would be to develop new facilities or expand or improve existing facilities, which would be directly proportional to the increased wear and tear and use of parks and recreation facilities as there is new residential growth in the City. The increase in
residential population is related to the number of dwelling units and the impact fee would be applicable to dwelling units.
Impact Relationship
Based upon the current and proposed parks and recreation facility needs in the City, the addition of new residents would require the need for new and expanded facilities.
Proportionality
The proposed impact fee would be a flat fee per dwelling unit depending upon the density of the housing units to capture the residential impacts as the primary mechanism for addition of residential population to the City is through increased dwelling units.
As the table demonstrates, the City is able to meet all five of the criteria necessary to impose a Parks and Recreation Development Impact Fee.
5 Comparative Survey
As part of this impact fee analysis, the project team conducted a comparative survey of surrounding jurisdictions who charge a Parks and Recreation Impact Fee. The following table compares the City’s current fee and full cost for Parks and Recreation to other surveyed jurisdictions in the region, which charge a parks and recreation impact fee:

9. Transportation
The City of Menifee currently assesses a transportation impact fee on new residential and commercial development projects within the City. The impact fee accounts for transportation-related improvements – roadways, traffic signals, transportation master plans, etc. The following subsections discuss the growth assumptions and standards utilized, cost assumptions and components, impact fee calculation, ability to meet the nexus criteria, and a comparative survey of transportation impact fees. 1 Growth Projections
The Transportation Impact Fee is based upon the future demand on transportation infrastructure due to new residents and employees moving into the City. The future demand is based upon the projected growth for the City. The projected growth section of this report discusses the residential and employment growth anticipated. The residential and employment growth is converted into number of dwelling units or total KSF (Thousand Square Feet) based upon density factors. The following table shows the calculation for current and future projected growth:

Based upon the average trip rate, the expected growth the number of trips is 28,932.
However, to determine the proportion borne by new development, the 28,931 trips were divided by the total future trips (74,602) to arrive at 39% to represent the proportionate impact associated with new development.
2 Cost Components and Assumptions
The Transportation Impact Fee is used to fund transportation related improvements. City staff developed a comprehensive listing of transportation improvement projects that would benefit both existing and new development within the City. The detailed project listing is included as an appendix to this report. The following table lists by major project category, the total costs associated with the project:
Table 75: Transportation Improvement Costs
Category Total Project Cost
Signals $46,912,500
Traffic Project List $282,612,846
Intersection Realignment $5,000,000
Grade Separation $16,000,000
Bridge $15,000,000
Interchange $151,250,000
Nexus Analysis $48,000
TOTAL $516,823,346
The total cost of Transportation Improvement infrastructure costs is approximately $516 million. It is important to note that not all $516 million should be borne by new development as these proposed projects will also benefit existing residents.
In addition to the $516 million in costs, the other cost component to be considered is the administrative fee. For purposes of this study, the project team calculated the administrative fee based upon the total indirect costs allocated to all Impact Fee funds from the FY 2022 Citywide Cost Allocation Plan and the average of the revenue collected by impact fee funds over the last three years. The following table shows this calculation:
Table 76: Impact Fee – Admin Fee Calculation
Category Impact Fee Funds
Citywide Overhead $165,243
Impact Fee Revenue – 3 year average $5,877,779
ADMIN FEE RATE 2.80%
The proposed administrative fee for all impact fees would be 2.80%, which is higher than the current 2 .50% administrative fee. This 2.80% accounts for support provided by City staff in the monitoring and reporting of impact fee funds.

3 Impact Fee Calculation
While the Transportation Impact Fee is based upon the total transportation improvements within the City, the full $516 million is not intended to be borne by new development. Therefore, the project team utilized the 39% growth projection, which correlates to overall projected growth in estimated number of trips, to determine the proportional amount associated with new development. The following table multiplies the total project cost by new growth proportional amount to determine the cost to be borne by new development:
Table 77: Transportation Impact Costs to be Borne by New Development
Category Total Project Cost New Growth New Development Cost Signals $46,912,500 39% $18,295,875
Traffic Project List $282,612,846 39% $110,219,010
Intersection Realignment $5,000,000 39% $1,950,000
Grade Separation $16,000,000 39% $6,240,000
Bridge $15,000,000 39% $5,850,000
Interchange $151,250,000 39% $58,987,500
Nexus Analysis $48,000 39% $18,720
TOTAL $516,823,346 $201,561,105
Of the $516 million, only $201.6 million is associated with new development. The total allocated costs to new development is then converted into a cost per trip by taking the total new development cost and dividing it by the projected number of trips. The following table shows the cost for new development, the total projected trips and the cost per trip:
Table 78: Transportation Cost Per Trip
Total Allocated Cost Projected Trips Cost Per Trip
$201,561,105 28,931 $6,967
The cost per trip is $6,967. The cost per trip is converted into the impact fee by multiplying it against the ITE established trip rate. The following table shows by land use type, the cost per trip, the trip rate, and the resulting impact fee:
Table 79: Transportation Impact Fee Calculation
Category Cost Per Trip Trip Rate Impact Fee

Single-Family $6,967 0.99 $6,897 per dwelling unit
Multi-Family $6,967 0.5 $3,484 per dwelling unit
Non-Residential
Commercial / Retail $6,967 2.41 $16,807 per 1,000 sq. ft.
Office $6,967 1.15 $8,012 per 1,000 sq. ft.
Industrial $6,967 0.65 $4,529 per 1,000 sq. ft.

As the ITE trip rates are based upon 1,000 sq. ft. for commercial / non-residential, the fees were calculated on a per 1,000 sq. ft. basis. However, for simplicity purposes, the fees were converted to per sq. ft. by taking the dollar amount and dividing it by 1,000 (e.g., $16,807 divided by 1,000 = $16.8116). The admin fee of 2.80% was then multiplied by the Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) to determine the administrative fee component. The administrative fee component was then added to the baseline TIF to arrive at the full cost TIF by category. The following table shows by category, the TIF, the admin fee, and the resulting full cost TIF:
Table 80: Transportation Impact Fee Calculation Including Administrative Fee
Category Impact Fee Admin Fee Total Impact Fee
Residential (per dwelling unit)
Single-Family $6,897 $193 $7,090 per dwelling unit
Multi-Family $3,484 $98 $3,582 per dwelling unit
Commercial / Non-Residential (per sq. ft.)
Retail $16.81 $0.47 $17.28 per sq. ft.
Commercial / Office $8.01 $0.22 $8.23 per sq. ft.
Industrial $4.53 $0.13 $4.66 per sq. ft.
The addition of the administrative fee captures the full cost associated with the proportionate impact of future development. The following table compares the current Traffic Impact Fee to the full cost impact fee, and the associated surplus / (deficit).
Table 81: Transportation Impact Fee – Current vs. Full Cost
Category Current Fee Full Cost Fee Surplus / (Deficit)
Residential (per dwelling unit)
Single-Family $5,060 $7,090 ($2,030)
Multi-Family $3,534 $3,582 ($48)
Commercial / Non-Residential (per square foot)
Retail $8.38 $17.28 ($8.89)
Commercial / Office $6.44 $8.24 ($1.79)
Industrial $4.27 $4.66 ($0.39)
As the table indicates, all current impact fees are under-recovering compared to the full cost. The increase in the impact fees is due to increased transportation projects and needs due to the anticipated growth within the City.
4 Nexus Criteria
As discussed in the legal framework section, in order for an impact fee to be implemented it must meet all five of the nexus criteria as established per the Mitigation Fee Act. The

following table outlines each criterion point, and how the proposed Transportation Impact fee meets the Mitigation Fee Act criteria.
Table 82: Transportation Impact Fees Nexus Criteria
Criteria Meet Don’t Meet
Purpose of Fee
The fee would be used to fund the development of new
transportation improvement measures and improve
existing transportation-related needs.
Use of Fee Revenue
The City has capital improvement plans and transportation specific plans that outline the utilization of this fee revenue for current and future years to help ensure that there is appropriate expansion and development of transportation- related measures to meet current and future resident and employee needs.
Benefit Relationship
The use of the impact fee revenue would be to enhance
existing roadways or add new traffic measures, which
would be directly proportional to the increased wear and tear and use of City infrastructure as there is new
residential and commercial growth in the City. The increase in residential population is related to the number of
dwelling units and the impact fee would be applicable to dwelling units. The increase in employment is related to non-residential space and is applicable to square footage.
Impact Relationship
Based upon the current transportation needs in the City, the addition of new residents and employees would require the need for upgraded roadways and facilities.
Proportionality
The proposed impact fee would be a flat fee per dwelling unit depending upon the density of the housing units to capture the residential impacts, as the primary mechanism for addition of residential population to the City is through increased dwelling units. For employees the fee is based upon non-residential square footage as that is the primary mechanism associated with increases in employment
within the City.
As the table demonstrates, the City is able to meet all five of the criteria necessary to impose a Transportation Development Impact Fee.
5 Comparative Survey
As part of this impact fee analysis, the project team conducted a comparative survey of surrounding jurisdictions who charge a Transportation Impact Fee. The following table compares the City’s current fee and full cost to other surveyed jurisdictions in the region, which charge a transportation impact fee:

10. Storm Drain
The City of Menifee currently assesses two different Storm Drain Impact Fees depending upon the region of the City. The City recently went through a Master Drainage Plan, and the plan identified sub-basins and watersheds for the City. It was determined through this study, that the information from the Master Drainage Plan should be utilized as the basis of assessing the fee, and that the most accurate impact would be based upon the sub- basin and watershed. Appendix A of this report shows the Map from the Master Drainage Plan. The impact fee accounts for upgrades and acquisition of new storm drain facilities.
The following subsections discuss the growth assumptions and standards utilized, cost assumptions and components, impact fee calculation, ability to meet the nexus criteria, and a comparative survey of Storm Drain impact fees.
1 Growth Projections
The project team worked with staff in Public Works and the City’s GIS staff to determine the current population by sub-basin and watershed, and the projected population.
Information from the City’s current land use element showing the built-out projections for the City were used as the baseline for current and future growth. The projections were based upon acreage of development, which was converted into dwelling units or square feet based upon the City’s current density for those land use types. The dwelling units and square feet were converted into equivalent dwelling units (EDUs) based upon the impervious coefficient per acre. The following table shows the EDU Demand Factor Calculation:

17 The same coefficient from the previous study was utilized as it was determined to be appropriate per the most recent Master Drainage Plan.
18 This information comes from the City’s Land Use Element and incorporates the averages across all the different types of potential categories within that major land use category.
19 This is calculated by taking the Impervious Coefficient and dividing it by the DU or KSF per acre. For example, 0.50 divided by 4.64 = 0.11.
20 This is used to determine proportionality between Single -Family and all other land use categories.

As the table indicates overall there is expected to be a growth of approximately 27,608 EDUs between current and built-out Menifee by Sub-Basin and Watershed. This represents a 106% increase.
However, as the Master Drainage Plan is specific to the sub-basin and watershed, the project team calculated the specific growth percentage for each sub-basin and watershed. The following table shows this calculation:

Based upon the consolidated sub-basin and watershed, the projected growth varies from a low of 10% for Sub-Basin A and Watershed A_C to a high of 206% for B_A. These specific growth percentages were utilized to attribute the cost to new development. 2 Cost Components and Assumptions
The Storm Drain Impact Fee is used to fund storm drain facility improvements. The Master Drainage Plan identified the top 25 projects for the City for storm drain facilities at the Sub-Basin and Watershed level. The detail of these projects has been provided as an appendix. The following table lists by Sub-Basin, the total project cost:
Table 88: Storm Drain Improvement Costs

B_B $3,090,000
F_A $650,000
F_C $2,900,000
F_E $2,000,000
TOTAL $41,122,000
The total cost of Storm Drain Improvement infrastructure costs is approximately $ 41.1 million. It is important to note that not all $ 41.1 million should be borne by new development as these proposed projects will also benefit existing residents.
In addition to the $41.1 million in costs, the other cost component to be considered is the administrative fee. For purposes of this study, the project team calculated the administrative fee based upon the total indirect costs allocated to all Impact Fee funds from the FY 2022 Citywide Cost Allocation Plan and the average of the revenue collected by impact fee funds over the last three years. The following table shows this calculation:

Matrix Consulting Group 59
The proposed administrative fee for all impact fees would be 2.80%, which is higher than the current 2 .50% administrative fee. This 2.80% accounts for support provided by City staff in the monitoring and reporting of impact fee funds. 3 Impact Fee Calculation
While the Storm Drain Impact Fee is based upon the total storm drain improvements within the City, the full $41.1 million is not intended to be borne by new development.
Therefore, the project team utilized the specific growth projection percentages for each sub-basin and watershed, to determine the proportional amount associated with new development. The following table multiplies the total project cost by new growth proportional amount to determine the cost to be borne by new development:
Table 90: Transportation Impact Costs to be Borne by New Development
Sub-Basin / Watershed Total Project Cost New Growth New Development Cost A_A $10,600,000 32% $3,392,000

F_E $2,000,000 36% $600,000
TOTAL $41,122,000 $26,390,700
Of the $41.1 million, only $ 26.4 million is associated with new development. The total allocated costs to new development is then converted into a cost per EDU by taking the total new development cost and dividing it by the projected number of EDU’s expected to increase for that sub-basin and watershed. The following table shows by sub-basin and watershed the cost for new development, the total projected EDUs and the cost per trip:
Table 91: Transportation Cost Per Trip
Sub-Basin / Watershed Total Allocated Cost Projected EDU’s Cost per EDU A_A $3,392,000 348.88 $9,723

As the table indicates the cost per EDU varies from a low of $ 135 for Sub-Basin and Watershed F_A to a high of $9,723 for Sub-Basin and Watershed A_A. The cost per EDU is then multiplied by the EDU Demand Factor for each land use type to determine the cost per dwelling unit or cost per 1,000 square feet.

As the EDU demand factor is based upon 1,000 sq. ft. for commercial / non-residential, the fees were calculated on a per 1,000 sq. ft. basis. The admin fee of 2.80% was then multiplied by the Storm Drain Impact Fee to determine the administrative fee component.

The addition of the administrative fee captures the full cost associated with the proportionate impact of future development. Due to the nature of the modification of the proposed Storm Drain Impact Fee to be sub-basin and watershed based, there is no ability to compare it against to the City’s current Storm Drain Impact Fee. In some instances the fee will decrease, for example, the City’s current fee in the MDP South Benefit Area is $2,316 per Single-Family home. This current fee is lower than the fees in Sub-basin and

Watershed A_A, A_C, and B_A, but higher than the fees in the other sub-basins and watershed such as Sub-Basin A_B.
The proposed modification to the Storm Drain fee is tied to the City’s Master Drainage Plan and ensures that new development only within that area is contributing towards the storm drain impact to that region of the City.
4 Nexus Criteria
As discussed in the legal framework section, in order for an impact fee to be implemented it must meet all five of the nexus criteria as established per the Mitigation Fee Act. The following table outlines each criterion point, and how the proposed Storm Drain Impact fee meets the Mitigation Fee Act criteria.
Table 94: Storm Drain Impact Fees Nexus Criteria
Criteria Meet Don’t Meet
Purpose of Fee
The fee would be used to fund improvements identified in the Storm Drain Master Drainage Plan for each sub-basin and watershed.
Use of Fee Revenue
The City has a Master Drainage Plan that outlines the
utilization of this fee revenue for future years to help ensure that there is appropriate expansion and development of
storm drain-related facilities to meet current and future resident and employee needs.
Benefit Relationship
The use of the impact fee revenue would be to enhance
existing facilities, which would be directly proportional to the increased wear and tear and use of City infrastructure as there is new residential and commercial growth in the City. The increase in residential population is related to the number of dwelling units and the impact fee would be
applicable to dwelling units. The increase in employment is related to non-residential space and is applicable to square footage.
Impact Relationship
Based upon the current storm drain needs in the City, the addition of new residents and employees would require the need for upgraded use of storm drain facilities.
Proportionality
The proposed impact fee would be a flat fee per dwelling unit depending upon the density of the housing units to capture the residential impacts, as the primary mechanism for addition of residential population to the City is through increased dwelling units. For employees the fee is based upon non-residential square footage as that is the primary mechanism associated with increases in employment
within the City.

As the table demonstrates, the City is able to meet all five of the criteria necessary to impose a Storm Drain Impact Fee.
5 Comparative Survey
As part of this impact fee analysis, the project team conducted a comparative survey of surrounding jurisdictions who charge a Storm Drain Impact Fee. Due to the nature of how storm drainage fees are assessed in these jurisdictions, it is difficult to provide an appropriate comparison, as many jurisdictions are also regional specific or calculated based upon the specific development type. Therefore, no comparable comparative information could be provided.
