The Honorable Board of Supervisors
March 24, 2026
PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
On July 12, 1990, your Honorable Board adopted a resolution establishing a County of Los Angeles DFP for the District. The DFP was implemented August 1, 1990, to fund the acquisition, construction, improvement, and equipping of fire station facilities in the high-growth, urban-expansion areas of the District. The purpose of this program, as adopted by the Board, is to ensure these additional resources are made available to protect the lives of residents and maintain efficient fire protection and life-safety services in the Areas of Benefit where population is increasing based on urban expansion. The Developer Fee rate is adjusted annually to account for inflation. The adjustment is based on the lesser of two percent or the California Consumer Price Index (CPI) for construction, along with current equipment costs. Pursuant to Government Codes 66001 and 66002, the resolution instructs the District to conduct annual evaluations of the DFP and make appropriate recommendations to your Honorable Board.
Also, on September 4, 2007, your Honorable Board adopted a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement between the County of Los Angeles and the City of Calabasas wherein the parties agreed to exercise the power to levy the DFP in the City of Calabasas and the City Council authorized your Honorable Board to conduct all proceedings in connection with the levy of the fee, and any modifications of the fee amount, within the city boundaries.
Implementation of Strategic Plan Goals
Approval of the recommended actions is consistent with the County’s Strategic Plan:
• Focus Area Goal North Star 3, Strategies i: Customer Service: Support departmental efforts to improve customer service and to enhance efficiency and responsiveness to meet the needs of all residents.
FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
The District is funded independently from the County’s General Fund and relies primarily on property tax revenue to provide essential fire protection and emergency medical services.
The DFP provides an additional revenue source to fund essential fire station facilities and equipment in the areas of urban growth. Increasing the fee rates in the unincorporated areas of the three Areas of Benefit and the City of Calabasas will enable the District to fund the development of new fire stations proportionate to the need necessitated by growth.
The DFP generates approximately $4.1 million in revenue annually and subject to change based on variability in the construction of homes and land acquisition in the Areas of Benefit.
These funds are deposited into the District’s Developer Fee Accumulated Capital Outlay Fund and can only be used to fund the development of new fire stations within specific geographic areas.
There is no impact to net County cost.
The Honorable Board of Supervisors
March 24, 2026
FACTS AND PROVISIONS/LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
Pursuant to Government Code Sections 66000, 66001, 66002, 66006, and 66018, the District has prepared three attachments to the Resolution. Enclosure A, Developer Fee Detailed Fire Station Plan to the Resolution depicts the status of completed and proposed fire stations, and helispots, as well as costs, and funding sources. Enclosure B, Developer Fee for the Consolidated Fire Protection District of Los Angeles County Developer Fee Funds 2024-25 Fiscal Year (FY)-End Report, identifies the beginning DFP Fund balance for FY 2024-25, including variances due to interest, advertisement, refunds, etc. Enclosure C, Developer Fee for the Consolidated Fire Protection District of Los Angeles County 2025 Developer Fee Calculation Summary, breaks down the cost and finance (Area 2) associated with the construction of a fire station, purchase of apparatus, and administration cost. These costs are necessary to finalize the new DFP rate for the respective Areas of Benefit. County Counsel has approved as to form the attached Resolution updating the DFP.
IMPACT ON CURRENT SERVICES (OR PROJECTS)
The updated rates will be imposed in the unincorporated areas in the three DFP Areas of Benefit and the City of Calabasas effective June 1, 2026. As a result, the updated Developer Fee rates will be imposed in the cities of Malibu, Santa Clarita, and Lancaster upon adoption of a resolution updating the fee amounts by each respective city.
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
This project is statutorily exempt per Section 15273 (a)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines developed by the State Office of Planning Research in that it involves the collection of fees for capital projects necessary to maintain services within existing service areas.
CONCLUSION
Upon conclusion of the public hearing and approval by your Honorable Board, please instruct the Executive Officer to return an adopted stamped copy of this letter with the adopted Resolution to the following office:

Equipment and Staffing
Fiscal Year The Fiscal Year period begins July 1 and ends June 30.
Initiating Priority Year Refers to the fiscal year that the land acquisition or construction of the fire station is anticipated to begin.
Target Occupancy Target occupancy is approximately one to two years from the actual start of construction.
Where actual costs are not yet available, the anticipated capital projects costs are based upon the District's current cost experienced for construction, land and equipment.
Developer Fee credit may be granted for the conveyance of a site, apparatus, or construction of a fire station to help offset the impact of development on the District.
Based on average costs for fire stations recently completed and stations under development; includes plans, specifications, consultant services, plan check, permit and inspection fees, construction, project management, furnishings, and equipment.
The amount budgeted could be from Developer Fee funds collected or advanced from District general revenues or certificates of participation. All advances made and/or interest incurred by the District to finance station development are to be repaid when Developer Fee revenues are sufficient. If no amount is budgeted, the development of the fire station may be delayed until Developer Fee revenues are sufficient to fund the site acquisition and/or construction of the fire station.
This plan reflects the proposed staffing and equipment to be implemented when each station and the development served by each station are built out in the respective areas of benefit. In many instances, a transitional staffing configuration will be utilized until build out occurs.
DEVELOPER FEE DETAILED FIRE STATION PLAN
This Developer Fee Detailed Fire Station Plan (Plan) reflects the Consolidated Fire Protection District's (District) fire service requirements as of October 2025 based upon growth projections and contacts with cities and developers who have shared their development plans with the District.
The Plan identifies 6 completed fire stations, 18 proposed fire stations, 4 helispots, and the necessary capital equipment that will be required in the Areas of Benefit as well as the anticipated costs and time frames provided that development occurs as expected. The anticipated costs identified in the Plan will be funded by Developer Fee revenues and/or funds which the District has advanced from other sources. These advances will be repaid to the District when sufficient Developer Fee revenue is generated.
