Antonio Banuelos, Accounting Manager
Subject:

Master Fee Schedule Update
FINANCIAL IMPACT: This update of the Master Fee Schedule adjusts fees to cover the cost of services provided by various City
departments as well as the Developer Impact Fees
based on an analysis of the fees needed to support
future development in the City of Richmond through
2040. This update does not include the Traffic Impact
Fees which will be updated later this year.

Based on the level of activity in FY2023-24, the proposed fee adjustments would generate additional annual
revenue totaling $632,000 to cover service costs and
$436,000 in Developer Impact Fee Funds in year one of
the phase in approach proposal.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL MEETINGS:

On May 23, 2023: City Council approved first reading of Ordinance establishing Commercial Cannabis Regulatory Fees.

On June 6, 2023: City Council approved second reading of Ordinance establishing Commercial Cannabis Regulatory Fees.

On June 27, 2023: City Council approved a Resolution adjusting the dollar amount for current fees except for Recreation fees, which remained as-is.

On September 26, 2023: City Council provided direction to make certain adjustments to the study and to further reach out to stakeholders.

On March 5, 2024: City Council received a presentation from the Finance Department and Willdan Financial Services on the proposed updates to the Developer Impact Fees in the Master Fee Schedule.

DISCUSSION:

Section 2.34.040 of the Richmond Municipal Code (RMC) (Schedule of fees and service charges) provides that “The City Manager shall review the fees and charges based upon the review schedule set forth (herein) and shall set and adjust the fees or charges so as to recover up to the … costs reasonably necessary to provide the listed regulations, products or services.”

Additionally, Sections 13.45.010 and 13.45.020 of the RMC, as recently amended by the Richmond City Council at its May 2, 2023, meeting, further provides that

The Director of Finance of the City shall adjust all city -levied taxes, fees and charges provided for in the Richmond Municipal Code on a yearly basis, or as needed, in accordance with any increase or decrease in the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index (ECI), State and Local Government Workers component, during the preceding fiscal year.

Additionally, a comprehensive fee study should be c onducted at least every five years.

And
Each year, the Director of Finance shall submit to the City Council a report listing all proposed adjustments for approval. No proposed adjustment shall take effect until it is approved by the City Council. The Council may 137

reject, but may not modify, any one or more of the proposed adjustments in any report before approving the adjustments.

IMPACT FEES

The Finance Department worked with Willdan Financial Services to develop the proposed Developer Impact Fees. The scope of services provided under this program was designed to produce reports used in updating the Master Fee Schedule to help better offset the impacts of new developments. The traffic impact fee section is still pending, and Finance staff will return later this year with those proposed changes.

Willdan’s Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Update (Attachment 3) summarizes an analysis of development impact fees needed to support future development in the City of Richmond through 2040. It is the City’s intent that the costs representing future development’s share of public facilities and capital improvements be imposed on that development in the form of a development impact fee, also known as a public facilities fee. The public facilities and improvements included in this analysis are divided into the fee categories listed below:

 Sewer Facilities
 Parks
 Community Center and Aquatic Facilities
 Police Facilities
 Fire Protection Facilities
 Library Facilities
 Storm Drains

On December 13, 2023, City staff and consultants from Willdan Financial Services held a virtual meeting with interested parties to review the impact fees and answer questions.

The study and fees have been updated based on input received in the meeting and input previously provided by the City Council.

Major changes included:

1. Updated library chapter to incorporate $29 million cost of planned facilities.

This version now uses a system standard to calculate higher fees than the previous report.

2. Community/aquatic centers fee updated to use the existing facility standard (and results in a higher fee). The City will have to identify approximately $19 million in additional projects to maintain the existing level of service through the planning horizon.

3. Incorporated current fee fund balances where appropriate.

4. Costs of projects were updated to match latest CIP where appropriate (MLK Community center is now shown as $14 million, new fire facilities, etc.)

The updated report that incorporated these changes was presented to the City Council at its March 5, 2024, City Council meeting.

AB 602 Requirements

On January 1, 2022, new requirements went into effect for California jurisdictions implementing impact fees. Among other changes, AB 602 added Section 66016.5 to the Government Code, which set guidelines for impact fee nexus studies. Four key requirements from that section which concern the nexus study are reproduced here:

 66016.5. (a) (2) When applicable, the nexus study shall identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service, and include an explanation of why the new level of service is appropriate.  66016.5. (a) (4) If a nexus study supports the increase of an existing fee, the local agency shall review the assumptions of the nexus study supporting the original fee and evaluate the amount of fees collected under the original fee.  66016.5. (a) (5) A nexus study adopted after July 1, 2022, shall calculate a fee imposed on a housing development project proportionately to the square footage of proposed units of the development. A local agency that imposes a fee proportionately to the square footage of the proposed units of the development shall be deemed to have used a valid method to establish a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development.  66016.5. (a) (6) Large jurisdictions shall adopt a capital improvement plan as a part of the nexus study.

One key change listed above is the fee calculation methodology for residential properties. Previously, the City of Richmond, like many other cities, calculated the fee based on the number of dwelling units. Going forward, the fee will be on a square footage basis. The goal here is to be more equitable in that smaller dwellings are charged a lower fee than larger dwellings.

Phase In Approach

Because the proposed increases to the developer impact fees are significant, staff members are proposing a phase-in approach over several years. For non-residential properties, the developer impact fees would be updated over two years. Yearly increases after that would be based on changes to the Employment Cost Index; that is until the next study is done in four to five years. For residential properties, the phase in would be over four years with the next overall fee study to be completed around year five.

USER FEES

In addition to the Impact Fees, staff members are proposing changes to the user fees charged by various City departments for services provided.

139

Page 5 of 5 ends

June 4, 2024
This update of the Master Fee Schedule adjusts user fees by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index (ECI). The ECI adjusts for wage rate inflation in local governments. In this update, City staff is proposing to update fees by 5.0 percent for those fees subject to the yearly ECI update. The 5.0 percent corresponds to the change of the ECI from the previous fee adoption date.

The Master Fee Schedule proposed for adoption by the City Council includes the following changes and/or adjustments:

 The fee schedule is adjusted to reflect the change in the ECI, as provided in Section 13.45.010 of the RMC. The effective date for fees adjusted by the ECI is 30 days after City Council’s final approval of the ordinance amendment and adoption of the resolution.
 The Subregional Transportation Mitigation Program (STMP) fees included in the Impact fees section are set by West Contra Costa Transportation Advisory Committee (“WCCTAC”). The updated rates are effective July 1, 2024. (Attachment 4 – STMP Memo).
 There are no proposed changes to the Recreation fees – they will stay as is. Staff will return later in May with a proposed contract to conduct a Recreation Fee study.

NEXT STEPS:

Due to recent legislation, further technical work is required to justify traffic impact fees by developing a long-term plan that demonstrates how the City will expand its transportation resources in order to mitigate the impacts of new development. Public Works staff members are updating a list of traffic projects with one of the City’s on-call consultants. This list of projects may include projects which facilitate movement of traffic, mitigate safety impacts, and/or address the growing requirements for all travel modes consistent with SB 743 (e.g., complete streets, bicycle projects, pedestrian improvements, transit improvements, etc.). Staff will return with proposed updates to the Developer Impact Fees focused on the Traffic Impact Fees.

Additionally, City staff will return to the City Council with a proposed contract to conduct a study focused on Recreation Department fees, which will include a comparison with nearby jurisdictions.

NOTES
(Fees are supplemented by grant funding; therefore, they are not adjusted based on ECI) With the new Measure J funding allocation voted on by WCCTAC, the City of Richmond could be getting more funding. If there is a substantial amount of funding, it would be used to provide later, after hours, and weekend service which has been a request by the community. The proposed farebox fee would prepare Paratransit in the event there is more funding.

The annual base flat permit fee of a dedicated space for a gas-powered car share vehicle is the annual base permit fee for metered spaces and annual base permit fee for time zone (non-metered) space, when parked at thos respective spaces.

The annual permit fee of a dedicated space for a zero emission powered (ZEV) car share vehicle is based on a 25% discount off the annual base permit free for metered spaces and a 25% discount off th annual base fee for time zone (non-metered) spaces (i.e., equla to 75% of the annual base permit fee). **The annual base flat permit fee for vehicles at a time zone(non-metered) space is $40 multiplied by 12 months.
* The annual base flat permit fee for a metered space is calculated as the average gross revenue per meter during the most recent completed fiscal year.

1 Executive Summary
This report summarizes an analysis of development impact fees needed to support future development in the City of Richmond through 2040. It is the City’s intent that the costs representing future development’s share of public facilities and capital improvements be imposed on that development in the form of a development impact fee, also known as a public facilities fee. The public facilities and improvements included in this analysis are divided into the fee categories listed below:
▪ Sewer Facilities
▪ Parks
▪ Community Center and Aquatic
Facilities
▪ Police Facilities
▪ Fire Protection Facilities
▪ Library Facilities
▪ Storm Drains
Background and Study Objectives
The primary policy objective of a development impact fee program is to ensure that new development pays the capital costs associated with growth. Although growth also imposes operating costs, there is not a similar system to generate revenue from new development for services. The primary purpose of this report is to calculate and present fees that will enable the City to expand its inventory of public facilities , as new development creates increases in service demands.

The City collects public facilities fees under authority granted by the Mitigation Fee Act (the Act), contained in California Government Code Sections 66000 et seq . Th is report provides the necessary findings required by the Act for adoption of the fees presented in the fee schedules contained herein.

The City programs development impact fee-funded capital projects through its Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Using a CIP allows the City to identify and direct its fee revenue to public facilities projects that will accommodate future growth. By programming fee revenues to specific capital projects, the City can help ensure a reasonable relationship between new development and the use of fee revenues as required by the Mitigation Fee Act.

Facility Standards and Costs
There are three approaches used to calculate facilities standards and allocate the costs of planned facilities to accommodate growth in compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act requirements in this study.

The existing inventory approach is based on a facility standard derived from the City’s existing level of facilities and existing demand for services. This approach results in no facility deficiencies attributable to existing development. This approach is often used when a long -range plan for new facilities is not available. Future facilities to serve growth will be identified through the City’s annual CIP and budget process and/or completion of a new facility master plan. This approach is used to calculate the park and recreation facilities fees, fire protection facilities and community and aquatic center facilities fees in this report.

The planned facilities approach allocates costs based on the ratio of planned facilities that serve new development to the increase in demand associated with new development. This approach is appropriate when specific planned facilities that only benefit new development can be identified, or when the specific share of facilities benefiting new development can be identified. Examples include street improvements to avoid deficient levels of service or a sewer trunk line extension to 225
City of Richmond Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Update 2 a previously undeveloped area. This approach is used for the storm drain , and sewer facilities fees in this report.

The system plan approach is based on a master facility plan in situations where specific needed facilities serve both existing and new development. This approach allocates existing and planned facilities across existing and new development to determine new development’s fair share of facility needs. This approach is used when it is not possible to differentiate the benefits of new facilities between new and existing development. This approach is used to calculate the library and police facilities fees in this report.

Use of Fee Revenues
Impact fee revenue must be spent on new facilities or expansion of current facilities to serve new development. Facilities can be generally defined as capital acquisition items with a useful life greater than five years. Impact fee revenue can be spent on capital facilities to serve new development, including but not limited to land acquisition, construction of buildings, construction of infrastructure, the acquisition of vehicles or equipment , information technology, software licenses and equipment.

In that the City cannot predict with certainty how and when development within the City will occur during the 17-year planning horizon assumed in this study, the City may need to update and revise the project lists funded by the fees documented in this study. Any substitute projects should be funded within the same facility category, and the substitute projects must still benefit and have a relationship to new development. The City could identify any changes to the projects funded by the impact fees when it updates the CIP. The impact fees could also be updated if significant changes to the projects funded by the fees are anticipated.

City of Richmond Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Update 4 Other Funding Needed
Impact fees may only fund the share of public facilities related to new development in Richmond.

They may not be used to fund the share of facility needs generated by existing development or by development outside of the City. As shown in Table E. 2, approximately $ 421.2 million in additional funding will be needed to complete the facility projects the City currently plans to develop if fees are adopted at the maximum justified fee level . The “Additional Funding Required” column shows non-impact fee funding required to fund a share of the improvements partially funded by impact fees. Non-fee funding is needed because these facilities are needed partially to remedy existing deficiencies and partly to accommodate new development. To the extent that the City adopts fees that are lower than the maximum justified amount, the non -fee funding requirements may increase, depending on the fee category and methodology.

The City will need to develop alternative funding sources to fund existing development’s share of the planned facilities. Potential sources of revenue include but are not limited to existing or new general fund revenues, existing or new taxes, special assessments, and grants.

5 1. Introduction
This report presents an analysis of the need for public facilities to accommodate new development in the City of Richmond. This chapter provides background for the study and explains the study approach under the following sections:
▪ Public Facilities Financing in California;
▪ Study Objectives;
▪ Fee Program Maintenance;
▪ Study Methodology; and
▪ Organization of the Report.

Public Facilities Financing in California
The changing fiscal landscape in California during the past 45 years has steadily undercut the financial capacity of local governments to fund infrastructure. Three dominant trends stand out:
▪ The passage of a string of tax limitation measures, starting with Proposition 13 in 1978 and continuing through the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996; ▪ Declining popular support for bond measures to finance infrastructure for the next generation of residents and businesses; and
▪ Steep reductions in federal and state assistance.

Faced with these trends, many cities and counties have had to adopt a policy of “growth pays its own way.” This policy shifts the burden of funding infrastructure expansion from existing ratepayers and taxpayers onto new development. This funding shift has been accomplished primarily through the imposition of assessments, special taxes, and development impact fees also known as public facilities fees. Assessments and special taxes require the approval of property owners and are appropriate when the funded facilities are directly related to the developing property. Development impact fees, on the other hand, are an appropriate funding source for facilities that benefit all development jurisdiction -wide. Development impact fees need only a majority vote of the legislative body for adoption.

Study Objectives
The primary policy objective of a public facilities fee program is to ensure that new development pays the capital costs associated with growth. Finding 2 of the General Plan Growth Management Element states: “To accommodate growth, Richmond will need to acquire additional sources of revenue to address future infrastructure and public facilities needs. Long -term growth management strategies include: Ensuring that new development pays its fair share of community improvements through impact fees, development agreements and other mechanisms…” The primary purpose of this report is to update the City’s impact fees based on the most current available facility plans and growth projections. The maximum justified fees will enable the City to expand its inventory of public facilities as new development leads to increases in service demands. This report supports the General Plan finding stated above.

The City collects public facilities fees under authority granted by the Mitigation Fee Act (the Act) , contained in California Government Code Sections 66000 et seq. Th is report provides the necessary findings required by the Act for adoption of the fees presented in the fee schedules presented in this report.

City of Richmond Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Update

6 Richmond is forecast to see significant growth through this study’s planning horizon of 2040. This growth will create an increase in demand for public services and the facilities required to deliver them. Given the revenue challenges described above, Richmond has decided to continue to use a development impact fee program to ensure that new development funds its share of facility costs associated with growth. This report makes use of the most cur rent available growth forecasts and facility plans to update the City’s existing fee program to ensure that the fee program accurately represents the facility needs resulting from new development.

Fee Program Maintenance
Once a fee program has been adopted it must be properly maintained to ensure that the revenue collected adequately funds the facilities needed by new development. To avoid collecting inadequate revenue, the inventories of existing facilities and costs for planned facilities must be updated periodically for inflation, and the fees recalculated to reflect the higher costs. The use of established indices for each facility included in the inventories (land, building s, and equipment), such as the California Construction Cost Index, is necessary to accurately adjust the impact fees.

For a list of recommended indices, see Chapter 11.

While fee updates using inflation indices are appropriate for annual or periodic updates to ensure that fee revenues keep up with increases in the costs of public facilities, it is recommended to conduct more extensive updates of the fee documentation and calculation (such as this study) when significant new data on growth forecasts and/or facility plans become available. For further detail on fee program implementation, see Chapter 11.

Study Methodology
Development impact fees are calculated to fund the cost of facilities required to accommodate growth. The six steps followed in this development impact fee study include:

1. Estimate existing development and future growth: Identify a base year for existing development and a growth forecast that reflects increased demand for public facilities;

2. Identify facility standards: Determine the facility standards used to plan for new and expanded facilities;

3. Determine facilities required to serve new development: Estimate the total amount of planned facilities, and identify the share required to accommodate new development;

4. Determine the cost of facilities required to serve new development: Estimate the total amount and the share of the cost of planned facilities required to accommodate new development;

5. Calculate fee schedule: Allocate facilities costs per unit of new development to calculate the development impact fee schedule; and

6. Identify alternative funding requirements: Determine if any non -fee funding is required to complete projects.

The key public policy issue in development impact fee studies is the identification of facility standards (step #2, above). Facility standards document a reasonable relationship between new development and the need for new facilities. Standards ensure that new development does not fund deficiencies associated with existing development.

Types of Facility Standards
There are three separate components of facility standards:
230
City of Richmond Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Update

7 ▪ Demand standards determine the amount of facilities required to accommodate growth, for example, park acres per thousand residents, square feet of library space per capita, or gallons of water per day. Demand standards may also reflect a level of service such as the vehicle volume-to-capacity (V/C) ratio used in traffic planning. ▪ Design standards determine how a facility should be designed to meet expected demand, for example, park improvement requirements and technology infrastructure for City office space. Design standards are typically not explicitly evaluated as part of an impact fee analysis but can have a significant impact on the cost of facilities. Our approach incorporates the cost of planned facilities built to satisfy the City’s facility design standards.
▪ Cost standards are an alternate method for determining the amount of facilities required to accommodate growth based on facility costs per unit of demand. Cost standards are useful when demand standards were not explicitly developed for the facility planning process. Cost standards also enable different types of facilities to be analyzed based on a single measure (cost or value ) and are useful when different facilities are funded by a single fee program. Examples include facility costs per capita, cost per vehicle trip, or cost per gallon of water per day.

New Development Facility Needs and Costs
A number of approaches are used to identify facility needs and costs to serve new development.

This is often a two -step process: (1) identify total facility needs, and (2) allocate to new development its fair share of those needs.

There are three common methods for determining new development’s fair share of planned facilities costs in this study: the existing inventory method, the planned facilities method, and the system plan method. Often the method selected depends on the degree to which the community has engaged in comprehensive facility master planning to identify facility needs.

The formula used by each approach and the advantages and disadvantages of each method is summarized below:

Existing Inventory Method
The existing inventory method allocates costs based on the ratio of existing facilities to demand from existing development as follows:

Current replacement cost of Existing Facilities
Existing Development Demand
Under this method new development will fund the expansion of facilities at the same standard currently serving existing development. The existing inventory method results in no facility deficiencies attributable to existing development. This method is often used when a long -range plan for new facilities is not available. Future facilities to serve growth are identified through an annual CIP and budget process, possibly after completion of a new facility master plan. This approach is used to calculate the park and recreation facilities fees, fire protection facilities and community center/aquatic facilities fees in this report.

Planned Facilities Method
The planned facilities method allocates costs based on the ratio of planned facility costs to demand from new development as follows:

Cost of Planned Facilities
New Development Demand
This method is appropriate when planned facilities will entirely serve new development, or when a fair share allocation of planned facilities to new development can be estimated. An example of the = cost per unit of demand
= cost per unit of demand
231
City of Richmond Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Update

8 former is a Sewer trunk line extension to a previously undeveloped area. An example of the latter is expansion of an existing library building and book collection, which will be needed only if new development occurs, but which, if built, will in part benefit existing development, as well . Under this method new development will fund the expansion of facilities at the standards used in the applicable planning documents. This approach is used for the storm drain , and sewer facilities fees in this report.

System Plan Method
This method calculates the fee based on the value of existing facilities plus the cost of planned facilities, divided by demand from existing plus new development:

Value of Existing Facilities + Cost of Planned Facilities Existing + New Development Demand
This method is useful when planned facilities need to be analyzed as part of a system that benefits both existing and new development. It is difficult, for example, to allocate a new fire station solely to new development when that station will operate as part of an integrated system of fire stations that together achieve the desired level of service.

The system plan method ensures that new development does not pay for existing deficiencies.

Often facility standards based on policies such as those found in Comprehensive Plans are higher than the existing facility standards. This method enables the calculation of the existing deficiency required to bring existing development up to the policy -based standard. The local agency must secure non -fee funding for that portion of planned facilities required to correct the deficiency to ensure that new development receives the level of service funded by the impact fee.

This approach is used to calculate the library and police facilities fees in this report.

Organization of the Report
The determination of a public facilities fee begins with the selection of a planning horizon and development of growth projections for population and employment. These projections are used throughout the analysis of different facility categories and are summarized in Chapter 2.

Chapters 3 through 9 identify facility standards and planned facilities, allocate the cost of planned facilities between new development and other development, and identify the appropriate development impact fee for each of the following facility categories:
▪ Sewer Facilities
▪ Parks
▪ Community Center and Aquatic
Facilities
▪ Police Facilities
▪ Fire Protection Facilities
▪ Library Facilities
▪ Storm Drains

Chapter 10 describes how this nexus studies complies with the requirements of AB 602.

Chapter 11 details the procedures that the City must follow when implementing a development impact fee program. Impact fee program adoption procedures are found in California Government Code Sections 66016 through 66018.

The five statutory findings required for adoption of the maximum justified public facilities fees in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act are documented in Chapter 12. = cost per unit of demand
232

9 2. Growth Forecasts
Growth projections are used as indicators of demand to determine facility needs and allocate those needs between existing and new development. This chapter explains the source for the growth projections used in this study based on a 2023 base year and a planning horizon of 2040.

Estimates of existing development and projections of future growth are critical assumptions used throughout this report. These estimates are used as follows:
▪ The estimate of existing development in 2023 is used as an indicator of existing facility demand and to determine existing facility standards. ▪ The estimate of total development at the 2040 planning horizon is used as an indicator of future demand to determine total facilities needed to accommodate growth and remedy existing facility deficiencies, if any. ▪ Estimates of growth from 2023 through 2040 are used to (1) allocate facility costs between new development and existing development, and (2) estimate total fee revenues.

The demand for public facilities is based on the service population , dwelling units or nonresidential development creating the need for the facilities.

Land Use Types
To ensure a reasonable relationship between each fee and the type of development paying the fee, growth projections distinguish between different land use types. The land use types for which impact fees have been calculated for are defined below. ▪ Residential Dwelling Units : All residential dwelling units, including d etached and attached one -unit dwellings and all multifamily dwellings including apartments, duplexes, and condominiums.
▪ Commercial: All commercial, retail, educational, and service development ▪ Office: All general, professional, and medical office development ▪ Industrial: All manufacturing, distribution, and other industrial development. ▪ Warehousing: All warehouse development, including distribution facilities.

Some developments may include more than one land use type, such as a mixed-use development with both multifamily and commercial uses. In those cases, the facilities fee would be calculated separately for each land use type.

The City has the discretion to determine which land use type best reflects a development project’s characteristics for purposes of imposing an impact fee and may adjust fees for special or unique uses to reflect the impact characteristics of the use . If a project results in the intensification of use, at its discretion, the City can charge the project the difference in fees between the existing low intensity use and the future high intensity use.

Impact Fees for Accessory Dwelling Units
The California State Legislature recently amended requirements on local agencies for the imposition of development impact fees on accessory dwelling units (ADU) with Assembly Bill AB 68 in 2021. The amendment to California Government Code §65852.2(f)(2) stipulates that local agencies may not impose any impact fees on ADU less than 750 square feet. ADU greater than 750 square feet can be charged impact fees in proportion to the size of the primary dwelling unit. 233
City of Richmond Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Update

10 Calculating Impact Fees for Accessory Dwelling Units For ADUs greater than 750 square feet, impact fees can be charged as a percentage of the single family impact fee. The formula is:

𝐴𝐷𝑈 𝑆𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝐹𝑒𝑒𝑡
𝑃𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑦 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑆𝑞𝑢𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝐹𝑒𝑒𝑡 × 𝑆𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒 𝐹𝑎𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑦 𝐼𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑡 𝐹𝑒𝑒 = 𝐴𝐷𝑈 𝐼𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑡 𝐹𝑒𝑒

In the case of a n 800 square foot ADU and a 1,600 square foot primary r esidence, the impact fees would be 50 percent (800 square feet / 1,600 square feet = 50% ) of the single family dwelling unit fee.

Existing and Future Development
Table 2.1 shows the estimated number of residents, dwelling units, employees, and building square feet in Richmond, both in 2023 and in 2040. The base year estimates of household residents and dwelling units come from the California Department of Finance . The 2040 projection of residents was identified in the Association of Bay Area Government’s ( ABAG) 2016- 2040 RTP/SCS Final Growth Forecast . The projection of total dwelling units in 2040 is based on increasing the supply of dwelling units proportionally to the projected increase in population . This analysis assumes that the same ratio of single family to multifamily will be maintained as development occurs.

Base year employees were estimated based on the latest data from the US Census’ OnTheMap application and exclude 2,138 local government (public administration) employees. Total projected workers in 2040 are identified by ABAG. The projected 2040 proportion of workers by land use is held consistent with current estimates. The estimates of nonresidential building square feet were estimated by dividing employee counts by the occupancy density factors presented in the following table.

Occupant Densities
All fees in this report are calculated based on the assumed square footage of the average dwelling unit or nonresidential building square feet. Occupant density assumptions ensure a reasonable relationship between the size of a development project, the increase in service population associated with the project, and the amount of the fee.

Occupant densities (residents per average dwelling unit or workers per building square foot) are the most appropriate characteristics to use for most impact fees. The fee imposed should be based on the land use type that most closely represents the probable occupant density of the development. The occupancy factors are shown in Table 2.2 . The residential density factor is based on data for Richmond from the 2021 U.S. Census’ American Community Survey, the most recent data available. The nonresidential occupancy factors are derived from data from the Institute of Traffic Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition. 235

13 3. Sewer Facilities
This chapter details an analysis of the need for sewer facilities to accommodate growth within the City of Richmond. The projects and associated costs in this chapter were identified in the City’s 2016 WWTP Facility Plan. It documents a reasonable relationship between new development and a sewer facilities impact fee to fund facilities to serve new development.

Service Area
Unlike the other facility categories included in this nexus study, the City’s sewer facilities do not serve the entire City. The Richmond Municipal Sewer District (RMSD) serves approximately 14 square miles within the City of Richmond. Two other sewer districts provide service to the other areas of the City. Consequently, this fee is calculated based on demand from existing and new development within the RMSD boundaries and cannot be charged in other areas of the City .

Sewer Demand
Estimates of new development and its consequent increased sewer demand provide the basis for calculating the sewer facilities fee. The need for sewer facilities improvements is based on the sewer demand placed on the system by development. A typical measure of demand is a flow generation rate, expressed as the number of gallons per day generated by a specific type of land use. Flow generation rates are a reasonable measure of demand on the City’s system of sewer improvements because they represent the average rate of demand that will be placed on the system per land use designation.

Table 3.1 shows the calculation of equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) demand factors based on flow generation by land use category. The flow generation estimates based on data from the City’s Sanitary Sewer Master Plan . EDU factors express water flow from each land use in terms of the flow generated by a single family dwelling unit.

EDU Generation by New Development
Table 3.2 shows the estimated EDU generation from new development through 2040. The EDU factors from Table 3.1 are multiplied by the land use assumptions specific to the RMSD boundaries to estimate total EDUs in the base year, at the planning horizon and for new development within the District. New development will generate approximately 18,423 new EDUs through 2040, comprising 39.2% of sewer demand in the City at that time. 238

Facility Needs and Costs
Table 3.3 identifies the planned sewer facilities to be funded by the fee. The new sewer facilities were all identified in the City’s 2016 WWTP Facility Plan. Since sewer facilities projects will benefit both existing development and new development, capacity expanding projects are allocated to new development based on new development’s share of sewer demand at the planning horizon. Projects that do not expand capacity are not allocated to the impact fee. 239

The purpose of the parks and recreation facilities impact fee is to fund the parks and recreation facilities needed to serve new development. The maximum justified impact fee is presented based on the existing standard of parks and recreation facilities per capita.

Service Population
Park and recreation facilities in Richmond primarily serve residents. Therefore, demand for services and associated facilities is based on the City’s residential population. Table 4.1 shows the existing and future projected service population for park and recreation facilities.

Parkland and Park Facilities Unit Costs
Table 4.3 displays the unit costs necessary to develop parkland in Richmond. The land cost assumption was based on an analysis of land sales comparisons from 2020, 2021 and 2022 within the City of Richmond using data from CoStar. An estimate of $ 748,000 per acre for standard parkland improvements is based on Willdan’s experience with other recent clients in California. In total, it costs over $2 million to acquire and improve an acre of parkland in Richmond.

Park Facility Standards
Park facility standards establish a reasonable relationship between new development and the need for expanded park facilities. Information regarding the City’s existing inventory of existing parks facilities was obtained from City staff.

The most common measure in calculating new development’s demand for parks is the ratio of park acres per resident. In general, facility standards may be based on a jurisdiction’s existing inventory of park facilities, or an adopted policy standard contained in a master facility plan or general plan. Facility standards may also be based on a land dedication standard established by the Quimby Act.1
Quimby Act Standard
The Quimby Act specifies that the dedication requirement must be a minimum of 3.0 acres and a maximum of 5.0 acres per 1,000 residents. A jurisdiction can require residential developers to dedicate above the three -acre minimum if the jurisdiction’s existing park standard at the time it adopted its Quimby Act ordinance justifies the higher level (up to five acres per 1,000 residents).

The standard used must also conform to the jurisdiction’s adopted general or specific plan standards.

The Quimby Act only applies to land subdivisions. The Quimby Act would not apply to residential development on future approved projects on single parcels, such as apartment complexes and other multifamily development.

The Quimby Act allows payment of a fee in lieu of land dedication. The fee is calculated to fund acquisition of the same amount of land that would have been dedicated.

The Quimby Act allows use of in -lieu fee revenue for any park or recreation facility purpose.

Allowable uses of this revenue include land acquisition, park improvements including recreation

1 California Government Code §66477.
245
City of Richmond Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Update 22 facilities, and rehabilitation of existing park and recreation facilities. The Quimby Act generally requires that fees be used for neighborhood and community park acreage to serve the subdivision, except in limited circumstances.

City of Richmond Park Facilities Standards
Table 4.4 shows the existing standard for improved park acreage per 1,000 residents based on the type of parkland. In total the City has an existing parkland standard of 2.88 acres per 1,000 residents, which is less than the minimum Quimby standard of 3.0 acres per 1,000 residents. The impact fee analysis in this report will be based on maintaining the City’s 2.8 8 acre per 1,000 resident standard as new development adds demand for parks in Richmond. Fees in-lieu of land dedication for subdivisions are calculated at the minimum Quimby standard of 3.0 acres of developed parkland per 1,000 residents.

Table 4.4: Parkland Standards
Park Acres 322.33
Service Population (2023) 111,924

City Policy Standard (Acres per 1,000 Residents) 3.00
Sources: City of Richmond; Tables 4.1 and 4.2, Willdan Financial Services.

Facilities Needed to Accommodate New Development
Table 4.5 shows the park facilities needed to accommodate new development at the existing standard. To achieve the standard by the planning horizon, depending on the amount of development subject to the Quimby Act, new development must fund the purchase and improvement of between 150.61 and 156.89 parkland acres, at a total cost ranging between $303.3 and $311.3 million.

The facility standards and resulting fees under the Quimby Act are higher because development will be charged to provide 3.0 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents, and 2.8 8 acres of improvements, whereas development not subject to the Quimby Act will be charged to provide only 2.88 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents, and 2.8 8 acres of improvements. Since the exact amount of development that will be subject to the Quimby fees is unknown at this time, Table 4.5 presents the range of total facility costs that may be incurred depending on the amount of development subject to the Quimby Act.

3 Cost of parkland to serve new development show n if all development is subject to the Quimby Act. The Quimby Fee applies anytime the Subdivision Map Act is applied. Under the Quimby Act, an in-lieu fee is charged at 3.0 acres per 1,000 residents; improvements charged at the existing standard. If a subdivision has less than 50 units, then the Quimby "in-lieu" fee w ill apply. If a subdivision has more than 50 units, then the developer has the option of dedicating land to meet its Quimby parkland requirements or paying the fee. 2 Cost of parkland to serve new development show n if all development is subject to the Mitigation Fee Act. Parkland and improvements are charged at the existing standard.

Park Facilities Cost per Capita
Table 4.6 shows the cost per capita of providing new park facilities at the Quimby standard, and the existing facility standard. The cost per capita is shown separately for land and improvements.

The costs per capita in this table will serve as the basis of three fees:
• A Quimby Act Fee in -lieu of parkland dedication. This fee is payable by residential development occurring in subdivisions.
• A Mitigation Fee Act Fee for parkland acquisition. This fee is payable by residential development not occurring in subdivisions.
• A Mitigation Fee Act Fee for parkland improvements. This fee is payable by all residential development.

A development project pays either the Quimby Act Fee in-lieu of land dedication, or the Mitigation Fee Act Fee for land acquisition, not both. All development projects pay the Mitigation Fee Act Fees for park improvements.

Use of Fee Revenue
The City plans to use park and recreation facilities fee revenue to purchase parkland and open space and construct improvements to add to the system of park facilities that serves new development. The City may only use impact fee revenue to provide facilities and intensify usage of existing facilities needed to serve new development. The City should program fee revenue to capacity expanding projects annually through its CIP and budget process.

Fee Schedule
To calculate fees by land use type, the investment in park facilities is determined on a per resident basis for parkland acquisition, and parkland improvements. These investment factors (shown in Table 4.6) are based on the unit cost estimates and the City’s existing facility standards.

Table 4.7 shows the maximum justified park and recreation facilities fee based on the existing standard per capita under the Quimby Act and under the existing park standard under the Mitigation Fee Act, respectively. The investment per capita is converted to a fee per dwelling unit using the occupancy density factor from Table 2.2. The fee per average dwelling unit is converted into a fee per square foot by dividing the fee per dwelling unit by the assumed average square footage of a dwelling unit.

The total fee includes an administrative charge to fund costs that include: (1) legal, accounting, and other administrative support and (2) impact fee program administrative costs including revenue collection, revenue, and cost accounting, mandated public reporting, and fee justification analyses.

In Willdan’s experience with impact fee programs, two percent of the base fee adequately covers the cost of fee program administration. The administrative charge should be reviewed and adjusted during comprehensive impact fee updates to ensure that revenue generated from the charge sufficiently covers, but does not exceed, the administrative costs associated with the fee program.

Facilities
The following chapter documents the nexus analysis, demonstrating the need for new recreation and community center facilities demanded by new development.

Service Population
Community center and aquatic facilities in Richmond primarily serve residents so this analysis assumes that demand for services and associated facilities is based on the City’s residential population. Table 5.1 shows the existing and future projected residential population for community center and aquatic facilities . These facilities primarily serve residents so the service population is based on the existing and projected residents of the City.

Once the planned facilities have been constructed and new development has increased the City’s service population the resulting facility cost per capita will be lower than the cost per capita shown in Table 5.5. This lower cost per capita will drive the fee calculation. 252

Future Level of Service
The approach used to calculate this fee ensures that the existing level of service will be maintained throughout the planning horizon. If implemented at the maximum justified amount, the impact fees would maintain the $646 per capita facility standard through the planning horizon.

Use of Fee Revenue
The City plans to use community center and aquatic facilities fee revenue to construct improvements to construct a new community center that will serve new development. The planned facility is detailed above in Table 5.4. The City will have to identify additional facilities needed to maintain the existing level of service through the planning horizon. The City can use community center and aquatic facilities fee revenues for the construction or purchase of buildings, land, vehicles and equipment that are part of the system of community center and aquatic facilities serving new development.

Fee Revenue Projection
Table 5.6 shows a projection of fee revenue needed to maintain the existing level of service.

Additional facilities will have to be identified to maintain the level of service through the planning horizon.

Fee Schedule
Table 5.7 shows the maximum justified community center and aquatic facilities fee schedule. The cost per capita is converted to a fee per unit of new development based on dwelling unit densities (persons per dwelling). The fee per average dwelling unit is converted into a fee per square foot by dividing the fee per dwelling unit by the assumed average square footage of a dwelling unit.

The total fee includes a two -percent (2%) administrative charge to fund costs that include: a standard overhead charge applied to City programs for legal, accounting, and other departmental and administrative support, and fee program administrative costs including revenue collection, revenue and cost accounting, mandated public reporting, and fee justification analyses.

31 6. Police Facilities
The purpose of this fee is to ensure that new development funds its fair share of police facilities.

A fee schedule is presented based on the existing inventory facilities standard of police facilities in the City of Richmond to ensure that new development provides adequate funding to meet its needs.

Service Population
Police facilities serve both residents and businesses. Therefore, demand for services and associated facilities are based on the City’s service population including residents and workers.

Table 6.1 shows the existing and future projected service population for police facilities. While specific data is not available to estimate the actual ratio of demand per resident to demand by businesses (per worker) for this service, it is reasonable to assume that demand for these services is less for one employee compared to one resident, because nonresidential buildings are typically occupied less intensively than dwelling units. The 0.31 -weighting factor for workers is based on a 40-hour workweek divided by the total number of non -work hours in a week (128) and reflects the degree to which nonresidential development yields a lesser demand for police facilities.

Table 6.5 shows the calculation of the system facilities standard per capita for police facilities used to calculate the fees. This value is calculated by dividing the total value of all police facilities in 2040 by the total service population in 2040. The value per capita is multiplied by the worker weighting factor of 0.31 to determine the value per worker. The resulting standard is the cost standard that will be achieved when all the facilities are realized, and new development has come online.

Fee Revenue Projection
Completing the planned facilities will provide a higher value of facilities per capita than is currently provided in the City. Impact fee revenue may not be used to increase the level of service provided to existing development. Therefore, impact fee revenue will not fully fund the planned facilities and some non -fee funding will be required. Table 6.6 shows the projected fee revenue and the non-fee funding required through 2040. After accounting for the projected future impact fee 257
City of Richmond Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Update 34 revenue approximately $ 47.2 million in non -fee funding will be needed to complete the planned facilities.

The City will need to use alternative funding sources to fund existing development’s share of the planned civic facilities. Potential sources of revenue include but are not limited to existing or new general fund revenues, existing or new taxes, donations, and grants.

Sources: Tables 6.1, 6.3 and 6.5.

Fee Schedule
Table 6.7 shows the maximum justified police facilities fee schedule. The City can adopt any fee up to this amount. The cost per capita is converted to a fee per unit of new development based on dwelling unit and employment densities (persons per dwelling unit or employees per 1,000 square feet of nonresidential building space). The fee per average dwelling unit is converted into a fee per square foot by dividing the fee per dwelling unit by the assumed average square footage of a dwelling unit.

The total fee includes a two percent (2.0%) administrative charge to fund costs that include: a standard overhead charge applied to City programs for legal, accounting, and other departmental and administrative support, and fee program administrative costs including revenue collection, revenue and cost accounting and mandated public reporting.

In Willdan’s experience with impact fee programs, two percent of the base fee adequately covers the cost of fee program administration. The administrative charge should be reviewed and adjusted during comprehensive impact fee updates to ensure that revenue generated from the charge sufficiently covers, but does not exceed, the administrative costs associated with the fee program.

36 7. Fire Protection Facilities
The purpose of this fee is to ensure that new development funds its fair share of fire protection facilities. A fee schedule is presented based on the existing standard of fire protection facilities in the City of Richmond to ensure that new development provides adequate funding to meet its needs.

Service Population
Fire protection facilities serve both residents and businesses. Therefore, demand for services and associated facilities are based on the City’s service population including residents and workers.

Table 7.1 shows the existing and future projected service population for fire protection facilities.

Residents and workers are assumed to create different amounts of demand for fire protection facilities.

To calculate the service population for fire protection facilities, residents are weighted at 1.00.

The use of a worker demand factor of 1.36 for workers in Richmond is based on an analysis of fire department call data , categorized by land use, in the City from 2023. Average annual incidents at residential land uses were divided by the residential population to yield an average annual incidents-per-capita factor. Dividing average annual incidents at nonresidential areas by average annual employment in the City yielded a comparable per -capita factor. The ratio of the worker per capita factor to the resident per capita factor is the worker demand factor used in the analysis. See Appendix Table A.1 for a detailed worker weighting analysis.

43 8. Library Facilities
The purpose of this fee is to ensure that new development funds its fair share of library facilities.

A fee schedule is presented based on the existing facilities standard of library facilities in the City of Richmond to ensure that new development maintains the existing level of service.

Service Population
Libraries serve both residents and businesses. Therefore, demand for services and associated facilities are based on the City’s service population including residents and workers.

Table 8.1 shows the existing and future projected service population for library facilities.

Residents and workers are assumed to create different amounts of demand for library facilities.

To calculate service population for library facilities, residents are weighted at 1.00. A worker is weighted at 0.10 of one resident to reflect lower usage of libraries, compared to residents. The specific 0.10 per worker weighting used here is consistent with the City’s 2005 library impact fee study.

Planned Facilities
Table 8.5 summarizes the planned library facilities needed to serve the City, as identified by City staff. The City plans to rehabilitate and reconfigure its current library so that it can increase its capacity to provide library services to existing and new development. The City has secured a grant to fund part of the main library reconfiguration.

Future Level of Service
Table 8.7 shows the calculation of the system facilities standard per capita for library facilities used to calculate the fees. This value is calculated by dividing the total value of all library facilities in 2040 by the total service population in 2040. The resulting standard is the cost standard that will be achieved when all the facilities are realized, and new development has come online.

Fee Revenue Projection
Completing the planned facilities will provide a higher value of facilities per capita than is currently provided in the City. Impact fee revenue may not be used to increase the level of service provided to existing development. Therefore, impact fee revenue will not fully fund the planned facilities and some non -fee funding will be required . Table 8.8 shows the projected fee revenue and the non-fee funding required through 2040. After accounting for the projected future impact fee revenue, existing fund balances and grants approximately $1 million in non -fee funding will be needed to complete the planned facilities.

Fee Schedule
Table 8.9 shows the maximum justified library facilities fee schedule. The City can adopt any fee up to this amount. The cost per capita is converted to a fee per unit of new development based on dwelling unit densities (persons per dwelling unit or employees per 1,000 square feet). The fee per average dwelling unit is converted into a fee per square foot by dividing the fee per dwelling unit by the assumed average square footage of a dwelling unit.

In Willdan’s experience with impact fee programs, two percent of the base fee adequately covers the cost of fee program administration. The administrative charge should be reviewed and adjusted during comprehensive impact fee updates to ensure that revenue generated from the charge sufficiently covers, but does not exceed, the administrative costs associated with the fee program.

49 9. Storm Drain Facilities
This chapter summarizes an analysis of the need for storm drain facilities to accommodate growth within the City of Richmond. This projects and associated costs in this chapter were identified it the City’s Storm Drain Master Plan , 2018. This chapter documents a reasonable relationship between new development and a storm drain fee to fund storm drain facilities that serve new development.

Storm Drain Demand
Most new development generates storm water runoff that must be controlled through storm drain facilities by increasing the amount of land that is impervious to precipitation. Table 9.1 shows the calculation of equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) demand factors based on impervious surface coefficient by land use category. The impervious surface coefficients are based on data from the Environmental Protection Agency. EDU factors relate demand for storm drain facilities in terms of the demand created by a single-family dwelling unit.

Planned Facilities
Table 9.3 identifies the planned storm drain facilities to be funded by the fee. The new storm drain facilities were all identified in the City’s Storm Drain Master Plan. Since drainage projects will benefit both existing development and new development, capacity expanding projects are allocated to new development based on new development’s share of storm drain demand at the planning horizon. Projects that do not expand capacity are not allocated to the impact fee. 274

City of Richmond Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Update 52 Cost per Equivalent Dwelling Unit
This chapter uses the planned facilities approach to calculate the storm drain facilities cost standard. The cost of planned facilities allocated to new development is divided by the growth in EDUs to determine a cost standard per EDU. Table 9.4 shows the facility cost standard for storm drain facilities.

Fee Schedule
The maximum justified fee for storm drain facilities is shown in Table 9.5. The City can adopt any fee up to this amount. The cost per EDU from Table 9.4 is converted to a fee per unit of new development based on the EDU factors shown in Table 9.1. The fee per average dwelling unit is converted into a fee per square foot by dividing the fee per dwelling unit by the assumed average square footage of a dwelling unit.

The total fee includes a two percent (2.0%) administrative charge to fund costs that include: a standard overhead charge applied to all City programs for legal, accounting, and other departmental and administrative support, and fee program administrative costs including revenue collection, revenue and cost accounting and mandated public reporting.

54 10. AB 602 Requirements
On January 1, 2022, new requirements went into effect for California jurisdictions implementing impact fees. Among other changes, AB 602 added Section 66016.5 to the Government Code, which set guidelines for impact fee nexus studies. Four key requirements from that section which concern the nexus study are reproduced here:
66016.5. (a) (2) When applicable, the nexus study shall identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service, and include an explanation of why the new level of service is appropriate.
66016.5. (a) (4) If a nexus study supports the increase of an existing fee, the local agency shall review the assumptions of the nexus study supporting the original fee and evaluate the amount of fees collected under the original fee.
66016.5. (a) (5) A nexus study adopted after July 1, 2022, shall calculate a fee imposed on a housing development project proportionately to the square footage of proposed units of the development. A local agency that imposes a fee proportionately to the square footage of the proposed units of the development shall be deemed to have used a valid method to establish a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development. 66016.5. (a) (6) Large jurisdictions shall adopt a capital improvement plan as a part of the nexus study.

Compliance with AB 602
The following sections describe this study’s compliance with the new requirements of AB 602. 66016.5. (a) (2) - Level of Service

1. For fees calculated under the existing standard methodology, the fees are calculated such that new development funds facilities at the existing level of service. These fee categories are: parks, community and aquatic centers and fire protection facilities . The existing level service in terms of the existing facility investment per capita is shown in each corresponding chapter.

2. For fees calculated under the planned facilities methodology, the fees are calculated to ensure that the level of service does not fall to unacceptable levels. The fees calculated under this approach are the community/aquatic center facilities, sewer, and storm drain facilities impact fees. For sewers and storm drains p rojects were identified in the City’s various master plans as necessary to maintain an acceptable level of service.

3. For the fees calculated under the system standard methodology, the maximum justified fees represent an increase in the facility level of service. The fees calculated under this methodology are the library and police facility fees. The increased level of service is required to fund new development’s fair share of identified planned facilit ies. New development will not fund the entirety of the increase in level of service, rather, it will fund a share of the increased level of service represented by the planned facilities. The City will have to fund existing development’s share of the increase level of service through any other funding source. The library and police facilities chapters include tables that shows the existing level of service and future level of service in terms of facility investment per capita.
66016.5. (a) (4) – Review of Original Fee Assumptions
The original nexus studies, fee schedules and corresponding revenue generated were reviewed by the City and Willdan prior to conducting the nexus study analysis. The current fee schedule did not generate sufficient revenue to fully fund new development’s share of future needed facilities. 278
City of Richmond Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Update 55 Additionally, the City’s 2006 fee study assumed a planning horizon of 2025. Staff and Willdan agreed that the assumptions from the 2006 study needed to be updated to account for changes in planned development and the facilities needed to serve that development.

279

56 11. Implementation
Impact Fee Program Adoption Process
Impact fee program adoption procedures are found in the California Government Code section 66016. Adoption of an impact fee program requires the City Council to follow certain procedures including holding a public hearing. Data, such as an impact fee report, must be made available at least 10 days prior to the public hearing. The City’s legal counsel should be consulted for any other procedural requirements as well as advice regarding adoption of an enabling ordinance and/or a resolution. After adoption there is a mandatory 60 -day waiting period before the fees go into effect.

Inflation Adjustment
The City can keep its impact fee program up to date by periodically adjusting the fees for inflation.

Such adjustments should be completed regularly to ensure that new development will fully fund its share of needed facilities. We recommend that the California Construction Cost Index (https://www.dgs.ca.gov/RESD/Resources/Page-Content/Real-Estate-Services-Division- Resources-List-Folder/DGS-California-Construction-Cost-Index-CCCI) be used for adjusting fees for inflation. The California Construction Cost Index is based on data from the Engineering News Record and is aggregated and made available for free by the State of California.

The fee amounts can be adjusted based on the change in the index compared to the index in the base year of this study (2023).

While fee updates using inflation indices are appropriate for periodic updates to ensure that fee revenues keep up with increases in the costs of public facilities, the City will also need to conduct more extensive updates of the fee documentation and calculation (such as this study) when significant new data on growth forecasts and/or facility plans become available. Note that decreases in index value will result in decreases to fee amounts.

While fee updates using inflation ary indices are appropriate for periodic updates to ensure that fee revenues keep up with increases in the costs of public facilities, the City will also need to conduct more extensive updates of the fee documentation and calculation (such as this study) when significant new data on growth forecasts and/or facility plans become available.

Reporting Requirements
The City will comply with the annual and five -year reporting requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act. For facilities to be funded by a combination of public fees and other revenues, identification of the source and amount of these non -fee revenues is essential. Identification of the timing of receipt of other revenues to fund the facilities is also important.

Table 11.1 summarizes the annual and five -year reporting requirements identified in the Mitigation Fee Act.

City of Richmond Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Update 58 Programming Revenues and Projects with the CIP
The City maintains a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to plan for future infrastructure needs.

The CIP identifies costs and phasing for specific capital projects. The use of the CIP in this manner documents a reasonable relationship between new development and the use of those revenues.

The City may decide to alter the scope of the planned projects or to substitute new projects if those new projects continue to represent an expansion of the City’s facilities and provide benefit to new development. If the total cost of facilities varies from the total cost used as a basis for the fees, the City should consider revising the fees accordingly. 282

59 12. Mitigation Fee Act Findings
Public facilities fees are one -time fees typically paid when a building permit is issued and imposed on development projects by local agencies responsible for regulating land use (cities and counties). To guide the widespread imposition of public facilities fees the State Legislature adopted the Mitigation Fee Act (the Act) with Assembly Bill 1600 in 1987 and subsequent amendments. The Act, contained in California Government Code Sections 66000 through 66025 , establishes requirements on local agencies for the imposition and administration of fee programs.

The Act requires local agencies to document five findings when adopting a fee.

The five statutory findings required for adoption of the public facilities fees documented in this report are presented in this chapter and supported in detail by the preceding chapters . All statutory references are to the Act.

Purpose of Fee
▪ Identify the purpose of the fee (§66001(a)(1) of the Act).

Development impact fees are designed to ensure that new development will not burden the existing service population with the cost of facilities required to accommodate growth. The purpose of the fees documented by this report is to provide a funding source from new development for capital improvements to serve that development. The fees advance a legitimate City interest by enabling the City to provide public facilities to new development.

Use of Fee Revenues
▪ Identify the use to which the fees will be put. If the use is financing facilities, the facilities shall be identified. That identification may, but need not, be made by reference to a capital improvement plan as specified in §65403 or §66002, may be made in applicable general or specific plan requirements, or may be made in other public documents that identify the facilities for which the fees are charged (§66001(a)(2) of the Act).

Fees documented in this report, if enacted by the City, would be used to fund expanded facilities to serve new development. Facilities funded by these fees are designated to be located within the City’s sphere of influence . Fees addressed in this report have been identified by the City to be restricted to funding the following facility categories: parks and recreation facilities community center and aquatic facilities, police facilities, fire protection facilities, library facilities, storm drain facilities, and sewer facilities.

Benefit Relationship
▪ Determine the reasonable relationship between the fees' use and the type of development project on which the fees are imposed (§66001(a)(3) of the Act).

The City will restrict fee revenue to the acquisition of land, construction of facilities , infrastructure and buildings, and purchase of related equipment, furnishings, vehicles, and services used to serve new development. Facilities funded by the fees are expected to provide a citywide network of facilities accessible to the additional residents and workers associated with new development.

Under the Act , fees are not intended to fund planned facilities needed to correct existing deficiencies. Thus, a reasonable relationship can be shown between the use of fee revenue and the new development residential and non-residential use classifications that will pay the fees. 283
City of Richmond Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Update 60 Burden Relationship
▪ Determine the reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities and the types of development on which the fees are imposed (§66001(a)(4) of the Act).

Facilities need is based on a facility standard that represents the demand generated by new development for those facilities. For each facility category, demand is measured by a single facility standard that can be applied across land use types to ensure a reasonable relationsh ip to the type of development. For some facility categories service population standards are calculated based upon the number of residents associated with residential development and the number of workers associated with non -residential development. To calculate a single, per capita standard, one worker is weighted differently than one resident based on an analysis of the relative use demand between residential and non -residential development. For other facility categories demand is expressed in terms of sewer flow generation or the increase in impervious surface associated with various types of development.

The standards used to identify growth needs are also used to determine if planned facilities will partially serve the existing service population by cor recting existing deficiencies. This approach ensures that new development will only be responsible for its fair share of planned facilities, and that the fees will not unfairly burden new development with the cost of facilities associated with serving the existing service population.

Chapter 2, Growth Forecasts provides a description of how service population and growth forecasts are calculated. Facility standards are described in the Facility Standard sections of each facility category chapter.

Proportionality
▪ Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fees amount and the cost of the facilities or portion of the facilities attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed (§66001(b) of the Act).

The reasonable relationship between each facilities fee for a specific new development project and the cost of the facilities attributable to that project is based on the estimated new development growth the project will accommodate. Fees for a specific project are based on the project’s size. Larger new development projects can result in a higher service population resulting in higher fee revenue than smaller projects in the same land use classification. Thus, the fees ensure a reasonable relationship between a specific new development project and the cost of the facilities attributable to that project.

See Chapter 2, Growth Forecasts, or the Service Population sections in each facility category chapter for a description of how service populations or other factors are determined for different types of land uses. See the Fee Schedule section of each facility category chapter for a presentation of the maximum justified facilities fees.

FR: Leah Greenblat, Transportation Planning Manager
RE: FY 24-25 Annual STMP Fee Adjustment

REQUESTED ACTION
Information only.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The 2019 STMP Update became effective on July 1, 2019. The Master Cooperative Agreement, signed by all partner agencies, specifies an automatic annual fee adjustment so that the fees keep up with construction related inflation. The agreement specifies that the fee adjustment is based on the Engineering News Record’s February San Francisco Bay Area Construction Cost Index that covers the prior twelve months. This year that rate was 0.7%.

WCCTAC staff is in the process of notifying partner agencies of this impending annual fee adjustment, which becomes effective July 1, 2024, so it may be incorporated into their local fee schedules.

Given the recent state of inflation, this year’s fee increase is surprisingly low especially compared to last year’s adjustment which was 7.1%. It should be noted that Engineering New Record’s Bay Area Construction Cost Index is a tool commonly used by jurisdictions to make annual fee adjustments. The implementation of a different fee increase would require all six member jurisdictions to amend the Master Cooperative Agreement and related ordinances.

The FY 23-24 and FY 24-25 STMP fees are shown below.

286

The STMP Quarterly Reporting form for FY 24-25 is included as an attachment. Local agency staff should begin using this version to report STMP fees after July 1, 2024.

What is a Development Impact Fee?
1One-time charge
Imposed at building permit stage
Imposed on all development projects
within a defined geographic area
Funds facilities to serve new development
8 295
Mitigation Fee Act Findings (Govt. Code §66001)
 Key findings
 Need: Development creates need for facilities
 Benefit: Development use of revenue
 Rough Proportionality: Fee amount development’s
share of facility costs (i.e. proportional to demand)
 Other findings
 Purpose of fee
 Use of fee revenue
9 296
 Requires local jurisdictions to make certain
information available on website:
 Current impact fee schedule
 Nexus studies
 Annual AB1600 reports
 Five-Year AB1600 reports
 Changes to impact fee adoption process:
 Prior to adoption of development fees,
an impact fee nexus study needs to be
adopted with 30 days notice
 Technical changes:
 Residential fees should be charged
per square foot, unless findings are
supported that justify another
metric
 Large jurisdictions shall adopt a
capital improvement plan as a part
of the nexus study
 Nexus study should identify level of
service
 If fees are increasing, review the
assumptions of the original nexus
study and evaluate the amount of
fees collected under the original fee

Credit Policy
• A public facility or improvement must be included on the current adopted list of public improvements and facilities for the applicable to be considered eligible for credits toward future Impact Fees.
• Fee Credits will apply only to the “cost of the improvements,” not the related financing costs.
• Costs incurred for work not directly related to improvement of a thoroughfare will not be eligible for credit. Specifically excluded from credit calculations are costs of contaminated soils removal or remediation. • Credits shall be awarded only upon receipt of satisfactory documentation that
(i) the improvement is completed; or
(ii) land has been conveyed to and accepted by the City; or (iii) that funds for the improvement are in escrow; or
(iv) that a construction contract for the improvement has been executed; or (v) that a performance bond approved by the City Attorney has been posted to ensure completion.
27 314
Next Steps
• Hold public hearing to consider adoption of nexus study and fee schedules (Tonight)
• Transportation impact fee study
• Completion of Long-Range Transportation Infrastructure Planning Study by end of calendar year
• Updated Transportation impact fee study to City Council in Spring of 2025 • Staff to return in June 2024 with proposed contract with vendor for Recreation Fee Study
