the welfare of the wage earners of California, to improve their working conditions, and to advance their opportunities for profitable employment. This bill would require the department, in consultation with the Department of Managed Health Care, the Department of Insurance, the Department of Health Care Access and Information, and the Office of Health Care Affordability, to conduct a comparable worth study to examine and compare compensation and reimbursement for behavioral health providers with compensation and reimbursement for similarly situated medical-surgical providers. The bill would require the study to analyze compensation and reimbursement across specified payment flows, including payments made by health care service plans and health insurers directly to behavioral health providers and medical-surgical providers, and payments made to intermediaries and health systems for behavioral health services and medical-surgical services. The bill would require the department to take certain actions in conducting the study, including developing a methodology for determining which behavioral health provider roles are comparable to which medical-surgical provider roles.

This bill would make that nonminor age eligible until the date of completion of the program they are attending or the nonminor’s 19th birthday, whichever occurs first. The bill would, to the extent that federal financial participation is unavailable for adoption assistance payments continued pursuant to this eligibility expansion, require the department to ensure that state-realigned funding is available for those payments, as specified.

Summary: Existing law makes it a misdemeanor to commit the crime of trespass, which includes refusing or failing to leave land, real property, or structures belonging to, or lawfully occupied by, another and not open to the general public upon being requested to leave by a peace officer at the request of the owner, the owner’s agent, or the person in lawful possession and upon being informed by the peace officer that they are acting at the request of the owner, the owner’s agent, or the person in lawful possession. Existing law requires the owner, the owner’s agent, or the person in lawful possession to make a separate request to the peace officer on each occasion when the peace officer’s assistance in dealing with a trespass is requested, except that a single request for peace officer assistance may be made for a period not to exceed 12 months when there is a fire hazard to the premises or property, the owner is absent from the premises or property, or the premises or property is closed to the public and posted as being closed. Existing law authorizes a single request for assistance to be made and submitted electronically, in a notarized form provided by the law enforcement agency, to a peace officer, and authorizes local governments to accept electronic submissions of requests for peace officer assistance. This bill would remove the requirement that the submitted form described above be notarized. (Based on 03/19/2026 text)

Summary: Existing law makes it unlawful to dump waste matter in certain locations, such as upon a public or private highway or road, upon private property without the consent of the owner, or in or upon a public park or other public property, as specified. Existing law also makes it unlawful to place, deposit, or dump rocks, concrete, asphalt, or dirt in certain locations, as specified. A person violating these provisions is guilty of an infraction, as specified. Existing law makes a violation of these provisions in commercial quantities, as defined, a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in a county jail and by a fine, as specified. Under existing law, a private owner is not restricted in the use of their own private property, unless the placing, depositing, or dumping of the waste matter on the property creates a public health and safety hazard, a public nuisance, or a fire hazard, as determined by a local health or fire department or the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

Summary: The California Emergency Services Act sets forth the duties of the Office of Emergency Services with respect to specified emergency preparedness, mitigation, and response activities within the state. Existing law establishes the Public Safety Communications Division within the office and prescribes certain duties in regard to statewide public safety communications systems, including providing for coordination of, and comment on, plans, policies, and operational requirements from departments that utilize public safety communications in support of their principal function. This bill would make the above-described duties the exclusive responsibility of the division and prohibit a state public agency from performing those duties, subject to certain exceptions. The bill would require the division to serve as the primary authority for all statewide and interjurisdictional public safety communications, and to provide oversight, management, and ongoing coordination of all statewide public safety communications systems. The bill would require state public agencies to utilize the public safety communications systems established and maintained under these provisions. The bill would prohibit the division or a state public agency from entering into a contract for a technical, maintenance, or system support services without approval by the office.

Summary: Existing law requires the State Fire Marshal to identify areas in the state that are not state responsibility areas, commonly known as local responsibility areas, as moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones based on consistent statewide criteria and based on the severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas. Existing law requires the State Fire Marshal to periodically review and make recommendations relative to very high fire hazard severity zones within local responsibility areas. Under existing law, this review is required to coincide with review of state responsibility area lands every 5 years and, when possible, fall within the timeframes for each county’s general plan update. Existing law requires a local agency to designate, by ordinance, moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones in its jurisdiction within 120 days of receiving the recommendations from the State Fire Marshal. Existing law authorizes a local agency to, at its discretion, include areas within its jurisdiction not identified as very high fire hazard severity zones by the State Fire Marshal as very high fire hazard severity zones and areas not identified as moderate and high fire hazard severity zones by the State Fire Marshal as moderate and high fire hazard severity zones. Under existing law, a local agency is required to transmit a copy of this adopted ordinance to the State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection within 30 days of adoption. Existing law provides that changes made by a local agency to the recommendations made by the State Fire Marshal are final. This bill would require the State Fire Marshal to, no fewer than 180 days before finalizing the designation of local responsibility areas as moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones, post specified information relating to those designations on its public internet website, provide at least one workshop on the draft maps for stakeholder participation, host a 30-day public comment period to receive written comments from interested stakeholders, respond to all written comments by local agencies regarding land use and zoning matters that address the accuracy of the data used by the State Fire Marshal for those designations within 30 days of the end of the public comment period, and coordinate with other state agencies to help educate their constituencies, as specified.

Summary: Current law, the Treatment-Mandated Felony Act, an initiative measure enacted by the voters as Proposition 36 at the November 5, 2024, statewide general election, authorizes certain defendants convicted of specified felonies or misdemeanors to participate in a treatment program, upon court approval, in lieu of a jail or prison sentence, or grant of probation with jail as a condition of probation, if specified criteria are met. The Legislature may amend this initiative by a statute passed in each house by a rollcall vote entered in the journal, 2/3 of the membership concurring, or by a statute that becomes effective only when approved by the voters. This bill would include a new standard that, as part of the treatment court program, a drug addiction expert, as defined, conducts a substance abuse and mental health evaluation of the defendant, and submits the report to the court and the parties. The bill would remove the requirement that the Judicial Council revise the standards of judicial administration. The bill would require that a treatment program that complies with existing judicial standards be offered to a person that is eligible for treatment pursuant to the Treatment-Mandated Felony Act. By requiring the court to implement a treatment program that complies with existing judicial standards, the bill would amend that initiative statute. (Based on 05/23/2025 text)

Summary: The Stop Tobacco Access to Kids Enforcement (STAKE) Act requires the State Department of Public Health to establish and develop a program to reduce the availability of tobacco products to persons under 21 years of age through specified enforcement activities. In addition to the primary enforcement responsibility assumed by the department, existing law authorizes other state and local governmental agencies to conduct inspections and assess penalties for violations of the act, as specified, and encourages state and local enforcement agencies to share the results of inspections and coordinate with the department when enforcing the act. In this regard, existing law authorizes an enforcing agency to assess specified civil penalties against any person, firm, or corporation that sells, gives, or in any way furnishes to another person who is under 21 years of age any tobacco, cigarettes, or cigarette papers. Existing law, upon the assessment of a civil penalty for the 3rd, 4th, or 5th violation, requires the department to notify the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA), and requires the CDTFA to assess civil penalties and suspend or revoke a license issued under the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Licensing Act of 2003. This bill, effective July 1, 2027, would prohibit the retail location for a smoke shop, as defined, from being located within a 600-foot radius of a school or a day care center in existence at the time the retail license is issued, unless the local jurisdiction specifies a radius greater than 600 feet. The bill would prohibit a smoke shop from engaging in the retail sale of tobacco products directly to the public between the hours of 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. The bill would authorize the State Department of Public Health or the CDTFA to establish regulations relating to the operation of smoke shops, including the creation of a separate license category with administrative processes and separate fee rates.

Summary: The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency to prepare a mitigated negative declaration for a project that may have a significant effect on the environment if revisions in the project would avoid or mitigate that effect and there is no substantial evidence that the project, as revised, would have a significant effect on the environment. Existing law establishes the Geologic Energy Management Division in the Department of Conservation. Current law requires the division to be the lead agency for all geothermal exploratory projects for purposes of CEQA, except as provided. Current law defines “geothermal exploratory project,” for purposes of CEQA, in part as a project composed of not more than 6 wells and associated drilling and testing equipment whose chief and original purpose is to evaluate the presence and characteristics of geothermal resources. Current law requires wells included within a geothermal exploratory project to be located at least 1/2 mile from geothermal development wells that are capable of producing geothermal resources in commercial quantities. This bill would expressly include as part of a geothermal exploratory project, among other things, equipment and activities necessary to establish interconnectivity between wells and reservoirs. The bill would exclude certain wells connecting to geothermal reservoirs from the 1/2-mile limit described above. (Based on 02/19/2026 text)

REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Updating the Average Per-Acre Land Values and Park Development Costs Per Capita Used for Setting the Parkland In-Lieu Fee Schedule for New Residential Development for FY 2026/27
BACKGROUND
City Code Chapter 17.35 “Park and Recreational Land” requires new residential development to provide developed park and recreational land and/or pay an in-lieu fee pursuant to the Quimby Act (“Quimby”) and/or the Mitigation Fee Act (“MFA”). This enables the City to maintain its existing level of service at the same rate of 2.6 acres to 3.0 acres of parkland and recreational amenities per 1,000 residents.
Parkland in-lieu fees are reassessed as part of the annual adoption of the Municipal Fee Schedule.
There are three primary cost components upon which in-lieu fees are calculated:
1. The average cost of land acquisition for parks in Santa Clara, as determined by an annual land valuation appraisal;
2. The average per capita cost to develop parkland into a usable facility, based on the 2019 Parks and Recreation Facility Condition Assessment and adjusted using the Department of General Services California Construction Cost Index (CCCI); and
3. The administrative cost of the program, including review of residential development plans for compliance with the park ordinance and tracking of in-lieu fees (currently set at 2% of total fees collected).
The methodology used to calculate the in-lieu fees is detailed in the Park & Recreation Facilities Development Impact Fee Study (Nexus Study), dated August 27, 2019 (Attachment 1).
The purpose of this report is to:
1. Present the findings of the 2025 Land Valuation Report;
2. Recommend a +3.9% adjustment to the park improvement value in accordance with the latest CCCI figures; and
3. Solicit input from the City Council and the public on the proposed adjustments to parkland in-lieu fees and consider a recommendation that the updated Quimby and City of Santa Clara Printed on 4/17/2026Page 1 of 6

MFA fees take effect on July 1, 2026.
On April 13, 2026, the Land Valuation Report, along with associated park improvement cost information, was presented to the Parks & Recreation Commission for their consideration and public comment; no public comments were received. The Commission reviewed this item and voted 5-0 (Commissioner DeMarco was absent), recommending that the City Council adopt the proposed resolution updating the average per acre land values and park development costs per capita for purposes of setting the park in-lieu fee schedule.
DISCUSSION
Land Valuation - Average Cost per Acre
The cost to purchase land for parks is based on an annual land valuation study. The appraisal report is completed by an appraiser in accordance with City Code Section 17.35.040 and the Supplemental Instructions for the Appraisal of the Fair Market Value of Land, approved by the City Council on June 7, 2016 (Attachment 2).
The appraisal report has a valuation date of December 31 to account for the full calendar year (January 1 to December 31) of property transaction data and provides an objective assessment of the average value per acre of land across the City’s three residential ZIP Code areas (95050, 95051, and 95054).
On February 27, 2026, the City’s consultant, the Dore Group, completed the annual land valuation study with a valuation date of December 31, 2025 (Attachment 3). The study results are summarized in Table 1 below, which presents the 2025 valuation and prior years’ values for the City’s three residential Zip Codes. The average land value per acre decreased across all three ZIP Codes from 2023 to 2024, then increased in 2025. The increase from 2024 to 2025 ranges from 0.01% to 4.4%, depending on the individual Zip Codes. However, despite this uptick, 2025 values remain below 2023 levels.

Members of the public and development community were invited to review the report and submit questions and comments to the Director of Parks & Recreation. No comments were received during the official comment period.
Park Improvement Value - Average Cost Per Capita
The cost of constructing park improvements (e.g., landscape, furnishings, buildings, etc.), is based on the average per capita cost of improvements within the City’s existing park system. This approach ensures a fair and equitable distribution of costs to be recovered for the development of park amenities and facilities to serve new residents at the same standard as existing residents.

26-260 Agenda Date: 4/21/2026
On October 29, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 24-9383 (Attachment 4), which established the annual adjustments to the park improvement value used in calculating in-lieu fees.
These adjustments correspond to the changes (increases or decreases) in the CCCI for the previous calendar year, as reported by the Real Estate Services Division for the Bay Area. Annual increases and decreases are capped at 10% of the base value. In addition, the adjusted base value shall not exceed 100% cost recovery.
This approach builds upon the methodology established by the City Council in 2023 through Resolution No. 23-9220 (Attachment 5), which first defined the framework for annually updating the park improvement value.
Accordingly, park development costs are reviewed and updated annually to reflect changes in construction costs (i.e., escalation/inflation) and the average value of park assets across the existing park system, consistent with Resolution No. 23-9220.
From 2024 to 2025, the CCCI increased by 3.9% (see Table 2). Consistent with the City Council policy, it is recommended that this change is applied to calculate the 2026 Park Improvement Value.
Accordingly, the current park improvement value of $4,273 is increased by 3.9%, resulting in an updated value of $4,440.

Credit for Qualified Private Recreational Amenities
New residential developments may propose and receive a credit of 50% of the land value for eligible private recreation amenities against in-lieu fees. This credit acknowledges that such amenities provide some public benefit by partially reducing the demand on the City’s existing park system.
Eligible active recreational amenities include, but are not limited to, pools, gymnasiums or fitness areas, community rooms, picnic facilities, playgrounds, off-leash dog areas, large turf areas, sport courts, and community gardens. Each development application is evaluated for size, shape, location, utility/demand, among other criteria, to ensure that the proposed amenities are appropriate and acceptable for reducing demand on existing public parkland. Eligible affordable housing and senior housing projects receive a 15% credit toward the parkland dedication requirement or applicable in- lieu fees.
Use of In-Lieu Fees
The City deposits in-lieu fees into separate accounts designated for either Quimby or Mitigation Fee Act (MFA). During the development of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget, in-lieu fees are allocated to CIP projects including the acquisition of parkland and the development of neighborhood and community parks. Under certain conditions, Quimby funds may also be used for City of Santa Clara Printed on 4/17/2026Page 3 of 6

the rehabilitation of existing park facilities. In-lieu fees cannot be used for on-going maintenance.
Spending and Reporting Requirements
The amounts of fees received and allocated are reported annually in the City’s Adopted Budget document.
Proposed Fees for FY 2026/27
Based on the 2025 Annual Land Valuation Appraisal Report, the proposed FY 2026/27 fees have been adjusted to reflect changes in the average land value per acre, as shown in Table 1. These updates result in increases to parkland in-lieu fees in accordance with the Quimby Act and MFA, as summarized in the table below.
The fees were presented to the City Council on April 7, 2026, as part of the study session on the Proposed FY 2026/27 Municipal Fee Schedule and are subsequently included in the public hearing and adoption of the FY 2026/27 Municipal Fee Schedule on April 21, 2026.

6. Fee Implementation
In conformance with state law, the proposed Resolution will provide the required findings for Quimby and MFA. Under state law, fees subject to Quimby may take effect immediately after adoption, while fees subject to MFA may take effect no sooner than 60 days after adoption. The fees set forth in the proposed resolution, for both Quimby and MFA, will take effect on July 1, 2026, which satisfies the MFA’s 60-day requirement.
This information was presented to the Parks & Recreation Commissions (Commission) at its regular meeting on April 13, 2026, to solicit input from the Commission and the public on the proposed changes. No public comments were received. The Commission made the following City of Santa Clara Printed on 4/17/2026Page 4 of 6
powered by Legistar™
26-260 Agenda Date: 4/21/2026
recommendations:
1. That the City Council accept the Land Valuation Appraisal Report with a date of value of December 31, 2025, as presented; and
2. That the City Council adopt a 3.9% adjustment to the Park Improvement Value in accordance with the State of California Department of General Services Construction Cost Index and prior Council direction.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 14 Section 15378(b)(4) in that it is a fiscal activity that does not involve commitment to a specific project which may result in potential significant impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact to the General Fund for consideration of this item. The actual amount of parkland in-lieu fee revenue collected will vary based on the project application type (Quimby/MFA), the City Zip Codes (95050, 95051, 95054), housing density (single-family or multi-family), the amount of public parkland dedicated, and the amount of applicable credits. Credits may include 50% of land value for eligible on-site private recreational amenities and/or a 15% credit toward in-lieu fees for eligible affordable and senior housing projects.
Since the number and type of residential building permits issued in any particular year as well as the amount of dedicated parkland residential developers are unknown, the exact amount of in-lieu fee revenues cannot be projected at this time.
When the In-Lieu Fee Policy is set at 100% cost recovery, the City is able to fully recover the costs necessary to provide new residents with developed public parkland and recreational amenities at the same level of service as provided to existing residents. Without sufficient parkland and facilities, demand on existing facilities increases, which causes competition for access, accelerated wear, more frequent repairs, and higher maintenance and capital replacement costs.
If fees are set below 100% cost recovery, additional General Fund or alternative funding resources will be needed to bridge the funding gap. Within this scenario, the City will need to identify other funding sources for the acquisition, development and redevelopment of parkland to maintain the City’s park system standards of approximately 2.6 to 3.0 acres per 1,000 residents.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the Finance Department, the City Attorney’s Office, and the City Manager’s Office.

This report summarizes an analysis of the need for public facilities and capital improvements to support future development within the City of Santa Clara through 2035. It is the City’s intent that the costs representing future development’s share of these facilities and 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 of the City’s public facilities fee program all fall into the parks and recreation facilities category.
Background and Study Objectives
The primary policy objective of a public facilities f ee program is to ensure that new development pays the capital costs associated with growth. To fulfill this objective, public agencies should review and update their fee programs periodically to incorporate the best available information.
The primary purpose of this report is to create fees that incorporate current capital facility plans to serve a 2035 service population for the City of Santa Clara.
In 2013, the Santa Clara City Council adopted a strategic objective to develop a draft new housing develo pment impact fee ordinance for parks acquisition and recreation facility development to meet its continued goal of ensuring fiscal responsibility. In 2014, the City adopted an updated park and recreation facilities fee program under the Mitigation Fee Act and the Quimby Act. This report is an update to the 2014 study to incorporate the latest facility cost and land acquisition cost data provided City, who commissioned the data specifically for use in this analysis.
The City imposes public facilities fees u nder authority granted by the Mitigation Fee 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.
Depending on the characteristics of the development project, the City may use the Quimby Act to calculate impact fees. The Quimby Act allows a city to require developers to dedicate at least three acres and up to five acres per 1,000 residents, if the city’s ex isting park standard as of the last Census justifies the higher level.
Public Facilities Financing in California
The changing fiscal landscape in California during the past 40 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 financ e 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 bu rden of funding infrastructure expansion from existing 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 approval of property owners and are appropriate when the funded facilities are directly related to the developing property.
Development fees, on the other hand, are an appropriate funding source for facilities that b enefit all development jurisdiction -wide. Development fees need only a majority vote of the legislative body for adoption.
City of Santa Clara Parks and Recreation Facilities Fee Study 3 Organization of the Report
The determination of a public facilities fee begins with the selection of a planning horizon and development of projections for population and employment. These projections are used throughout the analysis of different facility categories and are summarized in Chapter 2.
Chapter 3 is devoted to documenting the maximum justified public facilities fee for parks and recreation facilities.
Chapter 4 describes the fee implementation process. The five statutory findings required for adoption of the proposed public facilities fees in accordance with the Mitigation Fee Act (codified in California Government Code Sections 66000 through 66025) are summarized in Chapter 5.
Facility Standards and Cost Allocation Approach
A facility standard is a policy that indicates the amount of facilities required to accommodate service demand. Examples of facility standards include bui lding square feet per capita and park acres per capita. Standards also may be expressed in monetary terms such as the value of facilities per capita , or the value of improvements per acre or per capita . The adopted facility standard is a critical component in determining development’s need for new facilities and the amount of the fee. Standards determine new development’s fair share of planned facilities and ensure that new development does not fund deficiencies associated with the existing city infrastructure.
The parks and recreation facilities fees calculated in this report use an existing inventory demand standard translated into facility costs per capita to determine new development’s fair share of planned facility costs. A cost standard provides a reas onable method for converting disparate types of facilities, in this case parkland and special use recreational facilities , into a single measure of demand (capital cost per capita). The cost standard is based on the existing inventory of parks and recreati on facilities. New development would fund the expansion of facilities at the same rate that existing development has p rovided facilities to date, t hus by definition, there is no existing deficiency.
4 2. Land Use Assumptions
This chapter describes the p rojections of growth used in this study . The exi sting service population in 2018 is used as the base year of the study and the p lanning horizon is the year 2035. This chapter also describes the sources of the unit costs for land and buildings used in this study.
Use of Growth Projections for Impact Fees
Estimates of the existing service population and projections of growth are critical assumptions used throughout this report. These estimates are used as follows:
▪ Estimates of total develo pment in 2035 are used to determine the total amount of public facilities required to accommodate the future service population. ▪ Estimates of existing and new development are used to allocate the fair share of total planned facility costs between existing and new development.
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 used in this analysis are defined below.
▪ Single-family: Detached and attached one-family dwelling units. ▪ Multi-family: All attached multi -family dwellings such as duplexes, condominiums, plus mobile homes, apartments, and dormitories.
▪ Accessory Dwelling Unit: dwelling unit not exceeding 640 square feet in floor ar ea, and which includes a kitchen, one -bedroom sleeping quarters, and a bathroom on a lot with an existing single-family dwelling.
The City should have the discretion to impose the parks and recreation facilities fee based on the specific aspects of a propo sed development regardless of zoning. The guideline to use is the probable occupant density of the development. The fee imposed should be based on the land use type that most closely matches the probable occupant density of the development.
Growth Projections for City of Santa Clara
Park and recreation facilities in Santa Clara primarily serve residents in the City of Santa Clara.
Therefore, residents comprise the park and recreation facilities service population.
The base year for this study is the year 2018. The planning horizon is 2035. Resident growth between 2018 and 2035 comprises the growth increment in this analysis. The City’s population in 2010 is used to calculate the parkland standard under the Quimby Act. The Santa Clara General Plan identified total projected residents in 2035.
Table 1 shows estimates of t he growth in terms o f residents between 2018 and 2035. The table also shows the City’s population in 2010.

Occupant Densities
Occupant densities ensure a reasonable relationship between t he increase in service population and amount of the fee. Developers pay the fee based on the number of additional housing units for residential development. The fee schedule must convert service population estimates into these measures of housing units. Th is conversion is done with average occupant density factors by land use type, shown in Table 2. The residential occupant density factors for both the various types of dwelling units were derived from the most recently available data from US Census’ American Community Survey.

6 3. Parks & Recreation Facilities
The following chapter documents the nexus analysis, demonstrating the need for new park and recreation facilities demanded by new development. This analysis documents two separate fees based on the Quimby Act and the Mitigation Fee Act . The City would collect the fee based a standard of 3.0 acres per 1,000 residents if the development was subject to the Quimby Act land dedication requirement. For all other development, the City would collect based o n the existing standard through the Mitigation Fee Act . The City would only collect one of the two fees depending on which was appropriate.
Existing Park and Recreation Facilities Inventory
The City of Santa Clara maintains several park and recreation facilities throughout the city. Table 3 summarizes the City’s existing parkland inventory. All facilities are located within the City limits.
The City has revised this inventory from the prior impact fee analysis in 2014, based on the latest information available. The inventory distinguishes between developed and undeveloped parkland.
Developed parkland includes parks that are open for public use with typical park amenities. This includes facilities that are owned by other agencies that the City has joint u se agreements for, or public park easements in perpetuity for public use of the facilities. Undeveloped parkland represents land that the City owns, or will be dedicated to the City, but does not yet include any improvements or amenities.

City of Santa Clara Parks and Recreation Facilities Fee Study 9 Developed Park Improvement Cost Estimate
This analysis uses an estimate of the replacement cost of the City’s existing parkland inventory to estimate the reasonable cost of constructing new improvements, including site improvements and building assets on new parkland. Table 4 displays the replacement cost improvement values for all the park site and building assets in Table 3.
In 2017, the City retained Kitchell, CEM to complete an inventory of all park and recreation assets for use in the City’s Enterprise Asset Management System/Geographic Information System and a Facility Condition Assessment Report (“Kitchell Report”). The Kitchell Report, dated February 21, 2018 provides an estimate of the current replacement cost “as is” of the existing City park site improvements and b uilding improvements in the City’s park inventory . The costs in Table 4 exclude the value of land , which was determined by a land appraisal and is sh own in Appendix Table A.1 of this report. The values in Table 4 are used below in Table 5 to estimate the average cost per acre of the improvements on an acre of developed parkland. Adjustments have been made (subtracted) for non -standard park facilities and buildings, such as the Agnews Historic Park buildings which are uniquely not owned and maintai ned by the City but are on dedicated park property by an historic easement and agreement.
As shown in Table 4, t he total replacement cost of the existing park site and building improvements is approximately $ 340.5 million. This figure is divided by 254.99 acres of developed parkland resulting in the average park improvement cost per acre in Santa Clara of $1.3 million.
The City also reviewed recent Santa Clara park improvement construction costs to evaluate if the $1.3 million per acre assumption for park improvements was reasonable to use in this analysis.
The recently completed Central Park Annex cost $1 million per acre, San Tomas & Monroe cost $2.3 million per acre, the Lawrence Station Area Parks 2016 estimate was $1.8 million per acre, and Reed & Grant was $2.5 million per acre, which when averaged indicate a higher $1.8 million per acre cost for park improvements. Further, an independent review of the Kitchell Report by an expert construction cost estimator was conducted to validate the Report’s metho ds and analysis that costs exceed $1.3 million per acre.
Therefore, based on this data and analysis, the estimated cost of $1.3 million to improve an acre of parkland in Santa Clara is both reasonable and conservative and is appropriate to use in this analysis.

Table 5 shows the estimated cost per acre for developing parkl and, including land acquisition.
The land value of $3.9 million per acre is the average acquisition cost per acre in the City, based on an appraisal of a hypoth etical acre of undeveloped land the three zip codes in the City. See Appendix Table A.1 for the results of the appraisal. The value of park assets and building assets is from Table 4 is summarized here.
The value of all assets, is allocated across all existing improved parkland acres and added to the cost of land acquisition per acre to determine the total cost to develop an acre of parkland in the City.

City of Santa Clara Parks and Recreation Facilities Fee Study 13 Quimby Justification Parkland Inventory (as of 2010) Table 6 displays the City’s inventory of dev eloped and undeveloped parkland as of 2010. This is included to justify the Quimby standard , since the Quimby Act requires that population estimates from the most recent federal Census be used to calculate a jurisdiction’s parkland standards .
Consequently, the parkland inventory used to calculate the standard must correspond with the year of the population estimates to accurately calculate the standard. Per the Quimby Act, the City can require dedication at a minimum standard of 3.0 acres per 1,000 residen ts if it’s existing parkland standard as of the last federal census was less than 3.0 acres per 1,000 residents. This inventory has been modified slightly since the 2014 study to correct anomalies that have come to light when the 2018 inventory was being reviewed.

City of Santa Clara Parks and Recreation Facilities Fee Study 16 Improved Parkland Equivalent
Before calculating the existing standards, unimproved parkland owned by the City must be converted to an equivalent amount of improved parkland. Table 7 details this conversion. The conversion is based on the ra tio of the cost of an unimproved acre of land relative to an acre of improved parkland. The assumptions for the value of undeveloped and developed parkland are shown above in Table 5. The improved parkland equivalent is calculated for both the existing inventory of parkland, and for the inventory of parkland in 2010.

City of Santa Clara Parks and Recreation Facilities Fee Study 17 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 exist ing 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 the Mitigation Fee Ac t (using a city’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 The land dedica tion standard refers to the number of acres per 1,000 residents that the required land dedication or a fee in-lieu of land dedication is based on . A typical Quimby Act s tandard for land dedication is 3.0 acres per 1,000 residents , though the standard can v ary by jurisdiction. Another example of a land dedication standard can be found in a city that charges at 5.0 acres per 1,000 residents to meet its general plan goals.
The standards used in this analysis are discussed in depth below.
Mitigation Fee Act
The Mitigation Fee Act does not dictate use of a particular type or level of facility standard for public facilities fees. To comply with the findings required under the law, facility standards must not burden new development with any cost associated with facility deficiencies attributable to existing development.2 A simple and clearly defensible approach to calculating a facility standard is to use the city’s existing ratio of park acreage per 1,000 residents. Under this approach, new development is requ ired to fund new park facilities at the same level as existing residents have provided those same types of facilities to date.
Quimby Act
The Quimby Act does specify facility standards to use for parkland dedication. The Act only includes dedication of parkland and does not require construction of park improvements. The 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. Funds collected through the Quimby ordinance can only be used f or purchasing land to create neighborhood and community parks, not open space. The city can require residential developers to dedicate above the three-acre minimum if the city’s existing park standard as of the last Census justifies the higher level (up to five acres per 1,000 residents). The standard used must also conform to the City’s adopted general or specific plan standards.
The Quimby Act only applies to land subdivisions. A city cannot apply the Quimby Act to development on land subdivided prior to adoption of a Quimby ordinance, such as development on infill lots. The Quimby Act also would not apply to residential development on future approved projects on single parcels, such as many types of multi-family 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 fee does not include the cost of park improvements because the land dedication requirement does not include improvements. Developments paying the Quimby Act fee in -lieu of dedication are also subject to a Mitigation Fee Act fee for park improvements, calculated at the existing standard.
The Quimby Act allows use of in -lieu fee revenue for developing new or rehabilita ting existing neighborhood or community park or recreational facilities to serve the subdivision paying the fee, including land acquisition , unless certain conditions are met. The City can use Quimby fee

City of Santa Clara Parks and Recreation Facilities Fee Study 18 revenue for purpose of developing new or rehabilitat ing existing park or recreational facilities in a neighborhood other than the neighborhood paying the fees if the following conditions are met:3
1. The neighborhood in which the fees are to be spent has a standard of less than 3.0 park area per 1,000 members of the neighborhood population.
2. The neighborhood paying the fees has park standard that meets or exceeds 3.0 acres per 1,000 persons.
3. The City Council holds a public hearing before using the fees.
4. The City Council makes a finding that it is reasonably foreseeable that future inhabitants of the subdivision paying the fees will use the proposed park and recreational facilities in the neighborhood where the fees are used.
5. The fees are used within a specified radius that complies with the city's Quimby ordinance and are consistent with the a dopted general plan or specific pla n of the city. “Specified radius” includes a planning area, zone of influence, or other geographic region designated by the city.

City of Santa Clara Parks and Recreation Facilities Fee Study 19 City of Santa Clara Park Facilities Standards
To calculate new development’s need for new parks, municipalities commonly us e a ratio expressed in terms of developed park acres per 1,000 residents. Table 8 shows the existing standard for improved park acreage per 1,000 residents and documents the City’s standard as of the last Census for the Quimby Act standard.

City of Santa Clara Parks and Recreation Facilities Fee Study 20 Facilities Needed to Accommodate New Development
Table 9 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 73.82 and 85.18 parkland acres, at a total cost ranging between $388.1 and $432.6 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 2.60 acres of improvements, whereas development not subject to the Quimby Act will be charged to provide only 2.60 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents, and 2.60 acres of improvements. Since the exact amount of development that will be subject to the Quimby fees is unknown at this time, Table 9 presents the range of total facility costs that may be incurred depending on the amount of development subject to the Quimby Act.

Table 10 shows the cost per capita of providing new park facilities at the Quimby standard, and the existing facility standard , by zip code . The cost per capita is shown separ ately 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 land dedication. This fee is payable by residential development occurring in subdivisions.
• A Mitigation Fee Act Fee for land 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 Fee for park improvements.

City of Santa Clara Parks and Recreation Facilities Fee Study 22 Use of Fee Revenue
The City plans to use park facilities fee revenue to purchase parkland or construct improvements to add to the system of park and recreation fa cilities 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. Depending on the amount of development subject to the Quimby Act, new developme nt must fund the purchase and improvement of between 73.82 and 85.18 parkland acres through the planning horizon of 2035.
Fee Schedule
To calculate fees by land use type, the investment in park facilities is determined on a per resident basis for both land acquisition and improvement. These inve stment factors (shown in Table 10) are investment per capita based on the unit cost estimates and facility standards.
The City anticipates that the park fees would be the primary revenue source to fund new development’s investment in park facilities. Tables 11.a, 11.b and 11.c show the park facilities fee based on the minimum Quimby standard and the existing standard for each zip code in the City, respectively. The City would collect the fee based on only one of the two approaches as appropriate. Each fee includes a component for park improvements based on the City’s existing standard. The investment per capita is converted to a fee per 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.

26 4. 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 p ublic meeting. A fourteen-day mailed public notice is required for those registering for such notification. Data, such as an impact fee report, must be made available at least 10 days prior to the public meeting. Your legal counsel should inform you of 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. This procedure must also be followed for fee increases.
Inflation Adjustment
The City’s Park and Recreation Land Fee ordinance requires the City Council review the fair market values that the fees are based on not less than annually and set the values in a Council resolution.4 This allows the fees to conform to current land values in the City. A separate index for construction costs should be used to annually adjust the improvements fee under the Mitigation Fee Act. The construction cost index can be based on the City’s recent capital project experience or can be taken from any reputable source, such as the Engineering News-Record.
Reporting Requirements
The City should comply with the annual and five -year reporting requirements of the Act. For facilities to be funded by a combination of public fees and oth er 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.
Fee Accounting
The City should deposit fee revenues into separa te restricted fee accounts for each of the fee categories identified in this report. Fees collected for a given facility category should only be expended on new facilities of that same category.
Programming Revenues and Projects with the CIP
The City shoul d commit all projected fee revenues and fund balances to specific projects in its Capital Improvements Program. These should represent the types of facilities needed to serve growth and described in this report. The use of the CIP in this manner documents a reasonable relationship between new development and the use of those revenues. The CIP also provides the documentation necessary for the City to hold funds in a project account for longer than five years if necessary to collect sufficient monies to complete a project.
The City may decide to alter the scope of the planned projects or to substitute new projects as long as those new projects continue to represent an expansion of the City’s facilities. If the total cost of facilities varies from the total cos t used as a basis for the fees, the City should consider revising the fees accordingly.
4 City of Santa Clara City Code 17.35.040(b)(1)
27 5. Mitigation Fee Act Findings
Fees are assessed and typically paid when a building permit is issued and imposed on new development projects by local agencies respo nsible for regulating land use (cities and counties).
To guide the imposition of facilities fees, the California State Legislature adopted the Mitigation Fee Act with Assembly Bill 1600 in 1987 and subsequent amendments. The Act, contained in California Government Code §§66000 – 66025, establishes requirements on local agencies for the imposition and administration of fees. The Act requires local agencies to document five statutory findings when adopting fees.
The five findings in the Act required for adoption of the maximum justified fees documented in this report are: 1) Purpose of fee, 2) Use of fee Revenues, 3) Benefit Relationship, 4) Burden Relationship, and 5) Proportionality. They are each discussed below and are supported throughout this report.
Purpose of Fee
▪ Identify the purpose of the fee (§66001(a)(1) of the Act).
We understand that it is the policy of the City that new development will not burden the existing service population with the cost of facilities required to accommodate growth. Council Goal 2013- 14 states that as a strategic objective, the City would “ Develop a new Housing Development Impact fee for parks acquisition and facility development .” The purpose of the fees proposed by this report is to implement this policy by providing 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 parks and recreational 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 proposed in this report, if enacted by the City, would be available to fund expanded facilities to serve new development. Facilities funded by these fees are designated to be located within the City. Fees addressed in this report have been identified by the City to be restricted to funding parks and recreation facilities.
An estimate of the amount of parkland needed to serve new development is identified in Chapter 3 of this report. More thorough descriptions of certain planned facilities, including their specific location, if known at this time, are included in master plans, capital impro vement plans, or other City planning documents or are available from City staff. The City may change the list of planned facilities to meet changing needs and circumstances of new development, as it deems necessary.
The fees should be updated if these amen dments result in a significant change in the fair share cost allocated to new development.
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).
City of Santa Clara Parks and Recreation Facilities Fee Study 28 We expect that the City will restrict fee revenue to the acquisition of land, construction of facilities and buildings, and purchase of related equipment, furnishings, vehicles, and services used to serve new development as described above unde r the “Use of Fee Revenues” finding. The City should keep fees in segregated accounts. 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.
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 sta ndard that represents the demand generated by new development for those facilities. Facilities demand is determined as follows:
The service population is established based upon the number of residents living in Santa Clara.
Service population correlates to the demand for parks and recreation facilities.
For parks and recreational facilities, demand is measured by a single facility standard (park acres per 1,000 service population) that can be applied across land use types to ensure a reasonable relationship to the type 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 correcting existing deficiencies. This approach ensures that new developmen t 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, Land Use Assumptions provides a description of how service population and growth projections are calculated. Facility standards are described in the Facility Inventories, Plans & Standards sections of in Chapter 3.
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 service population growth the project will accommodate. Fees for a specific project are based on the project’s size or increases in the number of dwelling units. Larger n ew 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 can ensure a reasonable relationship between a specific new development project and the cost of the facilities attributable to that project.
See Chapter 2, Land Use Assumptions for a description of how service population or dwelling unit occupancy factors are determined for different types of land uses. See the Fee Schedule section of Chapter 3 for a presentation of the proposed facilities fees. 29 Appendix

Supplemental Instructions
for the Appraisal of the Fair Market Value of Land
The following information and instructions will be used by the City when setting the land value used in the formula for determining the impact fees due in lieu of park and recreational land dedication pursuant to Santa Clara City Code 17.35. (Approved by Santa Clara City Council—June 7, 2016)
Background.
On July 15, 2014, Council added Chapter 17.35 “Park and Recreational Land” to the Santa Clara City Code to ensure that new residential development provides adequate community and neighborhood park land for active recreational uses and/or pays a fee in-lieu of parkland dedication to mitigate the impacts of the new growth pursuant to the California Quimby Act and/or Mitigation Fee Act.
17.35.040 Formula for calculation of fee in lieu of land dedication. (a) When a fee is required to be paid in lieu of parkland dedication, the maximum amount of such fee shall be determined by the fair market value of the amount of land that would otherwise be required to be dedicated pursuant to SCCC 17.35.030, as set forth below. The date of valuation of the property for in-lieu fee purposes shall be the date that the City determines that the developer’s application for a parcel map or tentative subdivision map, or application for projects not involving a subdivision, is complete.
(b) Fair Market Value.
(1) The City shall determine the fair market value of the property by using the average per acre land value for property in the City of Santa Clara, based upon a survey of land values and sale records in the City. The City Council shall set a minimum of three such average values, one for each of the three existing Zip Codes in the City (95050, 95051, 95054). The City Council may, at its discretion, set average values for additional subregions of the City. The City Council shall review the fair market values not less than annually and set the values in a Council resolution. (2) If the developer objects to this determination of fair market value, the developer may elect to have the value established by appraisal. If the developer chooses this option, the developer shall deposit with the City an amount sufficient to cover the cost of an appraisal, which the City shall conduct. The appraisal shall be completed prior to approval of the tentative or parcel map or, for developments not involving a subdivision, prior to the issuance of a building permit. (c) Based on the determination of fair market value set forth in subsection (b)(1) of this section, for each of the dwelling unit categories, the City Council shall set the amount of fees to be paid in lieu of parkland dedication in a Council resolution, which the Council shall review annually. (Ord. 1928 § 3, 7-15-14).

The Center of What·s Possible
Guidelines for Appraiser:
a. Appraiser is to provide a “Fair Market Value” for an average acre of land (hypothetical, rectangular, useable site) for property in each of the three existing City of Santa Clara Zip Codes 95050, 95051, 95054. The opinion will conform to Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.
b. Valuation Date: December 31 of each year.
c. Location & Property Sales Data Set Boundaries: Data set will begin with sales data from within Santa Clara City limits.
d. Data Set Date Range: Use data from January 1
st to December 31st of each year.
Example: January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015 for “December 31, 2015 Valuation Date.” See contingencies below.
e. Property Types: Use all of the following property types: Single Family (low and very low density), High Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Lots and Land.
f. Contingencies for Limited Data Set of each Property Type: If there are insufficient, credible data points or sales of a particular property type, then appraiser will explore and use comparable sales from the local competitive market area, adjacent to City of Santa Clara. A fixed distance from City of Santa Clara city limit is not given, however a compelling, rational basis for the selection of the competitive market area must be given by the appraiser in the report. Preference is for closer, more recent, and comparable; discretion is given to the appraiser.
g. Sales Transactions Data not to be used: Do not use transactions if they are not an arms-length transaction, have encumbered/clouded title, are environmentally impaired site, or are more than three (3) years old.
h. Inflation factors for Comparable between 1 and 3 years: An inflation factor will be computed and applied to comparable sales over one year based on reasonable and rational considerations such as sales and rental trends or other appropriate methods.
i. Sales Transactions Data that may be included: May use real estate sales transactions by the City of Santa Clara for additional neighborhood or community parkland.
j. Data Values excluded: No values or set of values at the high or low end of the data set are to be excluded from consideration in the average values on the sole basis of being relatively high or low; however, a check for consistency among comparable values will be done, and a rational basis should be provided for credible comparable transactions if not used.
Attachment A—Supplemental Instructions for Appraisal Page 2 of 3
k. Research Factors to be considered for Comparable sales: The factors to be used to compare property values include, but are not limited to physical factors, economic factors, market conditions verification to parcel maps, public records, CoStar data bank. Additional factors may be used provided there is a rational basis for doing so.
l. Reconciliation of value differences: The approach will be comparative, iterative, qualitative and quantitative, and will be made at the appraiser’s discretion.
m. Weight to be applied to Property Types: The weighted average of each property type will be based on the percentage of land area in the sales transactions, for example, if 25% of total acreage is high density residential, then the relative weight of that property type will be 25%. (The weight will not be done by the quantity of sales of each type or the percent of value of sales of each type).
n. Reporting: A draft valuation report will be generated by March 15. City will provide for a two week circulation and comment period. The valuations included the final valuation report will be used in the calculation formula for fees prepared by staff to be reviewed by Council as part of the annual City budget process and Municipal Fee Schedule adoption by June 30. Fees will be implemented on or after July 1 depending upon Quimby Act or Mitigation Fee Act provisions of the Council resolution.

Dear Ms. Saporito:
Pursuant to your request, I have completed the annual land valuation appraisal to aid the City of Santa Clara in establishing park impact fees. More specifically, the subject property consists of three hypothetical one -acre lots, one in each of the City’s three zip codes (95050, 95051, and 95054). The date of value for this appraisal report is December 31st, 2025.
We investigated, gathered data, and made the analyses necessary to fulfill the scope of work of this assignment, which was to estimate the fair market value of a hypothetical 1 -acre lot considering all zoning types in the City of Santa Clara. These zoning types are defined as : high- density residential, medium-density residential, single family ( low-density residential ), commercial, and industrial. To form and report the average value per acre of land in the three existing Zip Codes in the City of Santa Clara consisting of 95050, 95051, and 95054, we utilized an average value according to the weighted average of these different property types, based on the percentage of total land area associated with the different property types that sold in the City of Santa Clara in 2025.
The intended user of this report is the City of Santa Clara. The intended use of this appraisal is to provide fair market value to assist the City in determining park impact fees.
