PARKS & RECREATION
PR1. This memo assumes the Project is a subdivision and the Quimby Act provisions will apply. The project will generate an estimated 66 residents (2.98 persons/household x 22 units). Based on the Quimby Act standard of 3.0 acres/1000 residents, the amount of public parkland required for this Project to mitigate the impact of the new resident demand is approximately 0.1967-acres. The equivalent fee due in lieu of parkland dedication is therefore $1,378,608.

PR2. Final calculations will depend upon the actual number and type of units and the mix of parkland dedicated and remaining fee due, at the discretion of the City.

PR3. Calculations may change if the number of units change, if any areas do not conform to the Ordinance and City Code Chapter 17.35, and/or if the fee schedule for new residential development fees due in lieu of parkland dedication changes before a project is deemed complete by Planning.

PR4. Dwelling Unit Tax: a dwelling unit tax (DUT) in the amount of $700 is also due based on the number of units and additional bedrooms per City Code Chapter 3.15.

POLICE
PD1. The property should be fenced off during demolition and construction as a safety barrier to the public and deterrent to theft and other crime. Consider not having any screening material on the fence so passing Police Patrol checks will be able to see into the site.

A monument sign, preferably at all entrances to the property, should be prominently displayed showing all unit/building numbers, addresses, etc. A map is recommended for large complexes with multiple streets or walkways.

PD3. If the project includes any benches, these benches should not be longer than 5 feet in length and should have arm rests at both ends. If the benches are longer than 5 feet in length, there should be a divider (arm rest or similar) in the middle of the bench in addition to the arm rests on both ends. This helps prevent unlawful lodging and/or skateboarding. Another option to benches could be cubes, knee walls, or other creative types of seating possibilities.
