(1) Identification of the purpose to which the reportable fees are to be put.

The purpose of the Affordable Housing Commercial Linkage Fee is to ensure that new commercial development contributes to costs of providing affordable housing necessary as a result of commercial development (creative office space, hotel, retail and entertainment, medical, industrial/light manufacturing, institutional, and hospitals) which creates a variety of new jobs with varied degrees of compensation for workers. The addition of new workers in new commercial developments generates housing demands for households at extremely low, very low, low, and moderate incomes. New market rate housing development projects in the City have provided a disproportionate quantity of housing units that are not affordable to all income groups creating an unbalanced housing stock. Funds for construction, expansion or improvement of affordable housing, including Federal and State housing finance and subsidy programs, are not available to accommodate the needs caused by new commercial development projects. (2) Demonstration of a reasonable relationship between the reportable fees and the purposes for which they are charged.

The Fee is based on a nexus study that demonstrates the reasonable relationship between the purpose of the Affordable Housing Commercial Linkage Fee, the fee amount, the revenue generated, and the impacts of commercial development that the proposed use of that revenue is intended to address. The Affordable Housing Commercial Linkage Fee collected from new commercial development is designed to assist in the production or preservation of affordable housing. (3) Identification of all City sources and amounts of funding to complete financing of the projects as identified by the City.

2033‐2101 Virginia Avenue $1,000,000

Child Care Linkage Fee - The purpose of the Child Care Linkage Fee (CCLF) imposed and collected on development of commercial projects adding floor area of at least 7,500 square feet or multi-family residential projects development within the City since fiscal year 2011-2012 is to fund property acquisition, development, and construction of child care facilities in order to create new child care spaces. (E) Identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the amount of the expenditures on each improvement, including the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with fees.

(1) Identification of the purpose to which the reportable fees are to be put.

The Parks and Recreation Development Impact Fee program ensures continued improvements and responsible expansion in parks and recreation capital facilities in the City as new growth occurs. Fee revenues are used to help fund design and construction of new parks and recreation facilities and amenities, including maintenance of existing facilities, in response to the increased demand. (2) Demonstration of a reasonable relationship between the reportable fees and the purposes for which they are charged.

A nexus study was completed providing the necessary technical documentation to support adoption and implementation of Santa Monica's Parks and Recreation Development Impact Fee, finding that new development, whether residential or non-residential, within the City will increase the demand for and use of parks and recreation facilities. Each new development project generates increased use of the City's parks and recreation facilities by new residents, workers, and/or visitors and new revenues to fund necessary capital investments in new and existing parks and recreation facilities maintain recreation service standards.

By applying the proportionate increase in service population associated with new development to the existing service standard, and value of parks and recreation facilities, a parks and recreation capital facilities cost estimate was derived and a resulting maximum, supportable parks and recreation fee schedule was established. As a result, the fee program cost estimates are directly proportional to the relative increase in new development. (3) Identification of all City sources and amounts of funding to complete financing of the projects as identified by the City.

Transportation Impact Fee - The City Council adopted an ordinance on February 26, 2013 that established a Transportation Impact Fee for new development and intensified land uses that will fund transportation network improvements such as new sidewalks, crosswalks, traffic signal upgrades, bus stops, transportation demand management, and bicycle facilities that are necessitated by the new trips associated with the land use change. The fees are based on a nexus study and calculated using residential units or commercial square footage and are increased annually by Construction Cost Index. Due to California State Assembly Bill No. 602 passed in 2021 the fee is no longer charged prior to issuance of building permits, but rather at the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. The Transportation Impact Fee reflects the costs associated with transportation network improvements and the amount of new auto trips that can be attributed to land use changes.

The Water Demand Mitigation Fee - A one-time fee the City charges new development to mitigate the total daily water consumption rate projected for the development. The total daily water demand for the project is calculated using standard water demand factors which have been developed by City staff. The water demand mitigation fee is set at $3.00 for each gallon of daily water demand which must be mitigated. Effective, July 1, 2017, the Water Demand Mitigation Fee was replaced with the Water Neutrality Fee. The City will continue to collect Water Demand Mitigation revenues for permit applications submitted prior to July 1, 2017 with the following exception: Any new development applications for a building permit filed on or before November 27, 2018, that only results in a change of use of less than 6,000 square feet and/or an addition of less than 1,500 square feet, will be required to pay the water demand mitigation fee in effect as of November 27, 2018.

This fee is required when:
• Single-Family Residence -- for construction of a new residence or whenever adding 50% or greater to the square footage. • Multi-Family -- for construction of a new building or whenever new units are added. • Non-Residential -- for construction of a new building or whenever there is a change of use, changing or adding plumbing fixtures, or adding restaurant seats or square footage.
