City Council Staff Report
Ordinance: Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 2024-07, adopting Rezone of 8.09± acres; as to Assessor Parcel Number 080-023-004 from Residential Single (RS) District to Planned Community (PC) 2024-02 (PC #2024-02).
SUMMARY:
Rezone and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map No. 2024-0003, hereto referred to as “Proposed Project” consists of rezoning the subject parcel from RS, Residential Single to PC, Planned Community and to subdivide the 8.09± acre parcel into fifty-two (52) single-family residential lots. The Proposed Project is located east of Tim Bell Road and north of Modesto Irrigation District’s Waterford Lower Main Canal lateral; the subject property is identified as Assessor Parcel Number 080-023-004. A Location Map, which illustrates the Proposed Project’s location, is provided below:
The City’s Vision 2025 General Plan designates the subject property for Low-Density Residential (LDR) land uses, and it is zoned Residential Single (RS). The subject property is bounded by the Modesto Irrigation District (MID) canal to the north and the Waterford Lower Main Canal Lateral to the south, small ranchette homes to the east and west, with single family residential homes located in close proximity to the west and south. The table below depicts the subject property’s surrounding Vision 2025 General Plan land use designations and zoning:
Land Use Zoning Designation General Plan Designation
North Residential/Commercial
Residential Single (RS)/Planned
Community (Neighborhood
Commercial)
Low Density Residential
(LD)
East Residential Residential Single (RS) Low Density Residential (LD)
South Residential Residential Single (RS) Low Density Residential (LD)
West Residential Rural Estates (RE) Low Density Residential (LD)
ANALYSIS:
The applicant is proposing to Rezone 8.09± acres from Residential Single (RS) to Planned Community (PC) and a Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map to allow for the development of a subdivision consisting of fifty-two (52) new single-family residential lots.
General Plan
As noted above, the subject property is designated for Low Density Residential (LD) land uses per the City’s Vision 2025 General Plan. The LD land use designation allows for a density range of four (4) to six (6) dwelling units per gross acre and “consists primarily of single-family detached housing, but a diversity of single-family housing types, such as condominium and zero-lot-line units can be developed.” The Proposed Project consists of a density of six (6) dwelling units per gross acre, and therefore is consistent with the land use designation provided by the City’s Vision 2025 General Plan. In addition, the Proposed Project is consistent with the following Vision 2025 General Plan Policies:
Policy L-1.2 Encourage a diversity of building types, ownership, prices, designs, and site plans for residential areas throughout the City.
Policy L-1.3 Encourage a diversity of lot sizes in residential subdivisions.
Policy L-1.6 Continue to pursue quality single-family and higher density residential development.
Policy L-1.8 Create livable and identifiable residential neighborhoods.
Rezone from Residential Single (RS) to Planned Community (PC) A component of the Proposed Project is to rezone the subject property from Residential Single (RS) to Planned Community (PC) 2024-02. The RS zone district allows for single-family residential development with a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet, which is typical of the RS zone district. The Applicant is proposing a PC to allow for site specific development standards for the subdivision.
Chapter 17.30: PC Planned Community District defines the requirements for Planned Community developments. The purpose of the PC is to “encourage creative and efficient land uses, to encourage mixed or multiple projects, to permit variations from the density, height and other standards in the various zones and to permit development based on a high standard of performance and design.” The table below depicts the development standards contained in the RS zone district (Chapter 17.20 of the City’s Municipal Code) and the proposed PC.
Development Standard RS Zone District PC 2024-02
Lot Dimensions
Lot Size (Minimum) 6,000 square feet 3,500 square feet
Lot Width (Minimum) Interior – 55 feet
Corner – 65 feet
Interior – 45 feet
Corner – 45 feet
Lot Coverage (Maximum) 40% 55%
Setbacks (Minimum)

Rear 10 feet 8 feet
Side Interior – 5 feet
Corner – 10 feet
Interior – 4 feet
Corner (Interior) – 4 feet
Corner (Street Side) – 10 feet
As illustrated above, the Proposed Project includes variations of development standards from the RS zone district including lot size, coverage, width, and setbacks. The 3,500 square feet minimum size requirement is exceeded by all proposed lots as the lots range in size between 3,766 sq. ft. and 9,053 sq. ft. The average lot size for the proposed development is 4,969 sq. ft.
The development of lands zoned PC are also required to adhere to a development schedule (Section
17.30.080 of the City’s Municipal Code), which defines the timing in which the project will be initiated and developed. The Applicant has represented that development of the Proposed Project, should it be approved by the City of Waterford, will be initiated in Spring 2025 and will be built in one (1) phase.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff time and resources have been utilized for the processing of this application. However, the applicant has paid the applicable application fees for this Rezone and Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map.
The Proposed Project will also pay the applicable Building Permit Fees at the time of Building Permit issuance, and annex into CFD 2019-01 to allow for long-term maintenance of public facilities.
ODINANCE REVISION PROCESS:
The Introduction and First Reading by title only for Ordinance 2024-07 was heard and approved at the November 21, 2024 Council meeting. Ordinance 2024-07 is before the City Council for consideration of the Second Reading and Adoption by title only. After adoption, an Ordinance Summary will be published in the Waterford News and will become effective and in full force on and after thirty (30) days of its passage and adoption.

City Council Staff Report
Resolution: Approving Resolution 2024-54 Approving a “Development Impact Fee Study Fire Facilities” (Nexus Study) and Development Impact Fee for the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District
SUMMARY:
The City Council is being asked to approve a resolution approving the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District Development Impact Fee Study and Fee as required by California Government Code Section 66001. The City will be required to impose the Fire Protection Facility Fees set forth in the fee study on all building permits that are issued in the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District after February 3, 2025, in the fee amount that is in effect at the time the building permit is issued. The fee will be paid directly to the District and the City will require proof of payment prior to building permit issuance.
ANALYSIS:
The Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District (District) serves the cities of Riverbank, Waterford and the communities of Empire, Hickman, La Grange, the Airport Neighborhood and the Beard Industrial Tract in eastern Stanislaus County. The District is a career staffed department, with 58 staff members under contract with the City of Modesto to staff these positions. In addition, the District also has mutual and automatic aid agreements with the surrounding fire districts.
A major funding source for the District is public facilities fees also known as fire impact fees. Fees are collected because of new construction to provide a funding source for the construction of fire facilities and purchases of vehicles and equipment.
On October 17, 2024, the District’s board adopted an impact fee study pursuant to Government Code section 66001. Impact fees are calculated to fund the cost of facilities that are the result of growth due to new development. The impact fee study, included as an attachment, was prepared for the District by Capital PFG. The study supports a fee of $0.81 per square foot for new construction regardless of construction type. The impact fees paid will allow the District to provide necessary facilities, vehicles, and equipment necessary to maintain current service levels.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the city but new development within the city will be required to pay a higher Fire Impact Fee. The proposed fee of $0.81 per square foot on new construction will replace the current fee of $0.37 per square foot (sprinklers) and $0.49 per square foot (non-sprinklers) that was set in November 2007.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
There are no environmental impacts associated with this item.

SECTION 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District (“District”) provides fire protection, fire prevention, emergency medical, hazardous materials, technical rescue and disaster response to the cities of Riverbank, Waterford and the communities of Empire, Hickman, La Grange, the Airport Neighborhood and the Beard Industrial Tract in eastern Stanislaus County.
This Development Impact Fee Study (“Study”) is intended to update the development impact fee imposed by the District. This report summarizes an analysis of the need for fire facilities and equipment to accommodate new development within the District’s boundaries and documents a reasonable relationship between new development, the fee, and the facilities and capital equipment to be funded.
Stanislaus County has and will continue to experience growth. As a consequence, local public works are faced with the challenge of providing service to an expanding customer base with limited resources for improving the infrastructure necessary to accommodate such expansion.
The District also faces the challenge of providing fire facilities and services to new development within its boundaries. The impact fees collected as a result of new construction provides a funding source for the construction of fire facilities and purchase of vehicles and equipment necessary for this purpose.
This Study calculates the development impact fee based on the current values of all fire equipment and facilities necessary to protect current residents at current service levels. This fee is translated into a per square foot cost that is imposed on any new construction which may occur. Impact fees paid will allow for the District to provide the necessary facilities, vehicles, and equipment necessary to maintain current service levels.
This Study supports the adoption of a development impact fee for fire facilities of $0.81 per square foot of new construction. The methods used to calculate impact fees in this report are intended to satisfy all legal requirements governing such fees, including provisions of the California Constitution and the Mitigation Fee Act (California Government Code Section 66000 et. seq.).
Upon the submittal of this Study to the District, the Board of Directors of the District (“Board”), along with District Staff will review and evaluate the report for accuracy. The Board of Directors will also evaluate the recommended actions and provide policy direction. Once the Board is satisfied that the legislative requirements of Government Code section 66000 et. seq. have been met and the fee recommendations are valid, the Board shall submit a recommendation regarding the fee adjustments to the various land use agencies (County of Stanislaus, City of Riverbank and City of Waterford) for implementation.
After accepting and considering public input, the County and each City shall vote to approve findings and a resolution to set the appropriate fees. If accepted, the fees would be imposed pursuant to the Board of Supervisor’s or the Councils’ “police powers” under Article XI, section 7, of the California Constitution.
- 2 - September 2024
SECTION 2: THE MITIGATION FEE ACT
This brief summary of the legal framework for development fees is intended as a general overview. It was not prepared by legal counsel and should not be treated as legal advice.
In 1987, the California Legislature adopted Assembly Bill 1600 which established a uniform process for formulating, adopting, imposing, collecting, accounting for, and protesting impact fees. In order to impose an impact fee, a local agency must go through a process to establish a reasonable relationship between a development project and the public improvement for which the development fee is charged.
The most important part of AB 1600 is the requirement for findings that connect any impact stemming from a development project to the type and amount of the fee imposed or what is commonly referred to as the “Nexus” requirement. Government Code Section 66001 states that after January 1, 1989, in any action “establishing, increasing, or imposing a fee as a condition of approval of a development project,” the local agency shall do all of the following:
1) Identify the purpose of the fee.
2) Identify how the fee is to be used. If the use is for financing public facilities, the facilities shall be identified.
3) Determine how a reasonable relationship exists between the fee's use and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. 4) Determine how a reasonable relationship exists between the need for the public facility and the type of development project on which the fee is imposed. 5) Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.
Purpose of the Fee
The purpose of this development impact fee is to ensure that new development within the District pays its proportionate share of the capital investments to be made by the District along with its share of future capital costs, which are necessary to provide fire protection, fire suppression and other fire safety services adequate to accommodate a growing service population. The District is prudent in requiring that new development not burden existing property owners with the cost of public facilities required to accommodate growth. The District can further this objective through the imposition of development impact fees. The purpose of the development impact fee is to implement this policy by providing a funding source from new development for capital improvements to serve that development. The fee helps to ensure that the level of service is maintained as new development offsets the increased costs of providing service as growth occurs.
- 3 - September 2024
Use of the Fee
The Fee will be used to fund expansion, refurbishment and/or addition of Fire Facilities (land, buildings, other structures, apparatus and vehicles, equipment and related financing costs) to mitigate the impact of new development on the need for such facilities within the District, as well as to fund the administration of the Fee Program (Fee collection, accounting, reporting, nexus studies, and other expenses related to compliance with the Act requirements). The Fee revenue will not be used to fund operations, maintenance, or existing facility deficiencies that do not expand the District’s system capacity.
Benefit Relationship
The District will restrict fee revenues as described above under Use of the Fee. Fire Facilities funded by the fee will further the existing District-wide network of services accessible to the additional residences and businesses associated with new development. Thus, there is a reasonable relationship between the use of fee revenues and the residential and nonresidential types of new development that will pay the fee.
Burden Relationship
The purpose of assessing an impact fee is to provide the capital resources necessary to maintain the existing level of service for fire protection, emergency medical response, rescue and extrication, containment and mitigation of hazardous materials exposure, and other life safety services that is required of a growing service population. Based on the District’s historical experience in responding to calls for service among the varying types of development in its boundaries, it is appropriate to assess the on fee on a uniform basis in order to share the costs on a pro rata basis among existing and new development. Thus, there is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fee and the type of development served by the capital assets funded by the fee.
Proportionality
The reasonable proportionality relationship can be established by identifying the facility costs attributable to future development, then establishing fee rates that allocate those costs in proportion to the demands created by each type of development project. The fee apportions costs between the existing population and new development in a manner proportional to their contribution of the need for that asset. Further, fees are imposed based on building size as measured by habitable and enclosed square feet of each building. Thus, larger buildings that have a greater demand for fire service and related capital facilities and equipment pay a proportionately higher fee than smaller buildings.
- 4 - September 2024
Accounting, Reporting and Other Requirements of AB 1600 In addition to the Nexus requirements, AB 1600 also outlines the accounting for future revenue received through imposition of impact fees on new construction projects. AB 1600 requires that upon receipt of a fee, the local agency deposit the fee into a separate capital facilities account or fund, in a manner to avoid any commingling of the fees with other revenues and funds of the agency and expend the fees solely for the purpose for which the fee was collected. Interest gained on the capital facilities accounts or funds shall be separated, accounted for, and expended in the same manner.
The agency shall make findings once each fiscal year with respect to any portion of the fee remaining unexpended or uncommitted in its account five or more years after the deposit of the fee. The finding shall identify the purpose to which the fee is to be put and to demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it was charged.
The agency shall refund to the current record owner(s) of the project, on a prorated basis, the unexpended or uncommitted portion of the fee, with interest, for which the required findings cannot be made. Upon certain circumstances, with appropriately noticed hearings, the legislation allows alternative actions.
The agency shall annually adopt and update, by resolution at a publicly noticed hearing, any capital improvement plan defined in this legislation.
- 5 - September 2024
SECTION 3: METHODOLOGY FOR IMPACT FEE STUDY
Development impact fees are calculated to fund additional Fire Facilities that are a direct result of growth due to new development. In order to fund Fire Facilities needed due to growth occurring within the District, it is necessary to determine what the appropriate fee should be.
There are four basic steps followed in the calculation of any development impact fee, these include:
1. Prepare growth projections;
2. Identify facility standards;
3. Determine the amount and cost of facilities required to accommodate new development based on facility standards and growth projections;
4. Calculate the public facilities fee by allocating the total cost of facilities per unit of development (on a square foot basis).
Facility Standards Methodology
One important issue in development impact fee studies is the identification of facility standards. Facility standards determine new development’s total need for new facilities and each development unit’s fair share of those needs. Standards also ensure that new development does not fund deficiencies associated with existing development.
The District will determine the size and location of Fire Facilities necessary to ensure they will be sufficient to accommodate the personnel needed to serve the amount of new development anticipated. This study uses the District’s existing inventory of Fire Facilities combined with planned Fire Facilities needed to accommodate future development as the District’s facilities standard. The District’s existing inventory of Fire Facilities serve the entire District and will serve future development. Further, additional Fire Facilities will be needed to serve the anticipated future service population because of new development.
The District currently provides fire and emergency response services to a large response area.
Given the District’s size and protection facilities, vehicles, and equipment available at any one time, it is understandable that new construction will only exacerbate the protection challenges of the District. Given such facts, the District has determined that current service levels will be used as a benchmark and that new construction will not adversely affect these service levels.
To mitigate new construction’s impact on the District’s service capabilities, new development must be required to pay development impact fees. Assuming that the current levels of service being provided to the District’s residents are to be considered the standard, any additional construction within the District’s boundaries which requires fire or emergency response services, will pay an impact fee that is proportionate to such service. Given the existing demands placed on the District, existing Fire Facilities should not be utilized to accommodate new construction at the expense of existing service levels. To offset the impact of new - 6 - September 2024
development, the development impact fees will be used in accordance with the Use of the Fee as described above.
The District’s inventory of existing and planned Fire Facilities is used as part of the basis for calculating the District's facility standard. This standard is used to determine new development's fair share obligation for expanded Fire Facilities as growth occurs. The District’s existing Fire Facilities described in this Report currently serve the entire District. The facility standard utilized in the Study will specifically benefit any new development that will occur within the District as it will fund the expansion of Fire Facilities at the same standard currently serving existing development.
The District has the flexibility to alter the list of necessary Fire Facilities shown in this report as conditions change. If the overall cost of facilities necessary to mitigate the anticipated residential and non-residential growth is altered significantly then the District should update this fee program to incorporate those changes.

SECTION 4: PREVIOUS STUDIES/CURRENT FEES
The Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District’s previous development impact fee study was prepared in November 2007. Based upon the analysis performed by Capitol Public Finance Group, the development impact fees for fire facilities, shown in Table 1 below, were approved by the District.
TABLE 1
Source: Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District Following District approval, the District implemented a revised fee structure. Current fees under the revised fee structure are shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2
Source: Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District Capitol Public Finance Group was requested by the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District to provide a single fee Study. The Study is intended to establish the legal and policy basis for the calculation and imposition of impact fees on all new development within the District. Ultimately, this Study will justify a development impact fee to mitigate the increasing amount of development within the District’s boundaries and the rapidly increasing cost of Fire Facilities.

SECTION 7: ANTICIPATED GROWTH
Residential Development
Stanislaus County and the District have and continue to experience growth given the relative affordability of land and homes and proximity to major urban centers. Therefore, it is important for the District to monitor the development plans of the local land use agencies.
For the District, there are three land use agencies within its boundaries – the Cities of Riverbank and Waterford and the County of Stanislaus.
City of Riverbank
The City of Riverbank has several planned residential development projects with a total of 4,721 projected new residential units, shown in Table 6 below.
TABLE 6
Source: City of Riverbank
To estimate the square footage of new residential development within Riverbank, the average square footage of residential units built over the last eight years within Riverbank was determined using ParcelQuest and then applied to the estimated number of projected residential units, shown in Table 7.

TABLE 9
Unincorporated County of Stanislaus
There are currently no planned development projects within the unincorporated portion of the County of Stanislaus that is within the District’s boundaries. Using the developer fee collections of the District from the last eight years, the unincorporated portions of Stanislaus County within the District have added an average of 65 residential units per year, shown in Table 10 below. It is expected that this rate of growth will continue over the next eight years for a total of approximately 520 new residential units.

Commercial/Industrial Development
As residential construction continues, an inherent demand for commercial facilities may also be created. As these developments may significantly affect the District’s service requirements, the District must consider these properties when planning and assessing its ability to maintain high levels of service to existing residents and as well these new properties that will be added to its service population.
The City of Riverbank currently has four planned commercial/industrial projects expected to be built within the next eight years, with a total of 821,523 square feet, shown in Table 13.
TABLE 13
Source: City of Riverbank
ParcelQuest was used to determine the projected commercial/industrial development within the District’s boundaries, not including the City of Riverbank, over the last eight years. The District has added an average of 106,107 square feet of commercial/industrial building space per year. It is expected that this rate of growth will continue over the next eight years for a total of approximately 848,856 square feet of new commercial/industrial building space, shown in Table 14.

As the demand for fire suppression and emergency response increases due to new construction, the capabilities and overall quality of protection services and personnel provided degrades proportionally. The only plausible mitigation from the District’s perspective is the increase of Fire Facilities to provide existing service levels to new development which may occur. This is accomplished through the modernization and upgrade of existing Fire Facilities or the construction of entirely new Fire Facilities. This will serve to support timely response and maintain adequate supplies of Fire Facilities so that the District may maintain its current service levels while accommodating any new growth.

SECTION 8: NECESSARY FACILITIES
Existing Capital Resources
As previously detailed in Section 6 and summarized in Table 16 below, the District has invested approximately $14.5 million into its capital assets.
TABLE 16
Capital Improvement Plan
The District’s Capital Improvement Plan includes a new fire station at the Crossroads West development as described below and an annual set of priority short term projects at its existing stations. The District’s Capital Improvement Committee approved the annual District-wide improvements in September 2023. These annual improvements are not included in the calculation of the development mitigation fee.
New Fire Facilities at Crossroads West
In order to adequately serve the fire and emergency medical service demands of the District’s current and future population, the District has determined that a new station will be needed in the Crossroads West area. Table 19 provides an overview of the estimated costs related to the new fire station. These costs not only include the station construction itself, but also the related apparatus, vehicles and capital equipment necessary to operate the station and related financing costs due to cash flow limitations of the District.
It is assumed that the District would acquire new apparatus for a new station, including 1 Ladder Truck, 1 Type 3 Engine and 1 Water Tender, as well as two new vehicles and various life-saving equipment including personal protection equipment, self-contained breathing apparatus, a vehicle exhaust capture system, fire hoses, a communications system and rescue tools. The cost of equipment is estimated to be equal to 15% of the costs of a new fire station and vehicles and apparatus.
The District anticipates that financing will be necessary because fire impact fees are paid as units are constructed but Fire Facilities will be needed prior to development build-out. As such, it is assumed that the fire station construction will need to be financed over a period of 30 years and the apparatus and vehicles for the new fire station and capital equipment for new fire station will need to be financed for a period of 15 years.

SECTION 9: DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE CALCULATION
To properly express the impact of new construction on the service quality and capabilities of the District, the District’s impact fee will be justified by taking the total value of assets of the District and dividing the value across all assessable square footage within the District boundaries. Then, the average size of units within the District will be applied to the per unit value to determine a per square foot value.
Impact Fee Calculation
To calculate the amount of the development impact fee necessary on a per square foot basis, for all properties within the District’s boundaries, we will identify the cost to provide facilities and equipment to new construction at existing levels. To accomplish this goal, we must first identify the total square footage of structures within the District. Although the District covers a wide-ranging service area, including open land and river bottoms, the impact fee calculation only includes structures with assessable square footage.
As described in Section 7, the estimated square footage of new construction within the District is 16,945,839. Using ParcelQuest it was determined that there is currently 44,145,254 total square footage of building space within the District. As shown in Table 22, over the next 8 years the District expects to have approximately 61 million square feet of building space within its boundaries.
TABLE 22
To calculate the amount of the development impact fee necessary, on a per square foot basis, we first identify the unfunded facilities cost of $47,418,845, as stated in Section 8. We then determine the total square footage of residential, commercial, and industrial construction within the District, which is 61,091,093 square feet. Finally, we divide the total facilities cost ($48,063,719) by the total square footage of building space within the District (61,091,093 square feet).

Development by Square Footage
- 21 - September 2024
TABLE 23
Therefore, as shown in Table 23, the District can justify a development impact fee for fire facilities of $0.79 per square foot of new construction.
Imposing the Fee on Different Types of Property Types
The District serves non-residential parcels with the same capital equipment as residential parcels, based on the relative size of the development, with a more equipment intense response for larger buildings. For all calls that the District responds to, the Type 1 engine is the first to respond, with the exception of wildfire/vegetation calls, when the Type 3 engine is first. The type of property does not impact the apparatus or equipment that is used for response. As such, the same fee is applied to all new construction, regardless of the use of the property. Imposing the impact fee on a per square foot basis provides for proportionate funding based on the size of the building and the resulting fire response.
As stated above, the District can justify a development impact fee for fire facilities of $0.79 per square foot of new construction. In addition to the cost of fire facilities and equipment necessary to serve new development, there is an administrative cost to the District to justify, impose and collect development impact fees. The administrative cost is estimated to be 2% of the fee. As such, approximately $0.02 is added to the fee to cover the cost of administering the fee program bringing the total fee up to $0.81 per square foot of new construction.
Total Estimated Costs $48,063,719
Future Service Square Footage 61,091,093
Cost per Square Foot $0.79
Impact Fee Calculation
- 22 - September 2024
SECTION 10: ASSESSING THE FEE
The fee is a uniform fee that will be applicable to new construction, including residential, commercial, office, and industrial building space as well as to additions to existing buildings which requires the issuance of a permit or approval from the County of Stanislaus, the City of Riverbank or the City of Waterford.
Future large or specialized commercial/industrial development may require special considerations and should be judged on a project-by-project basis. Commercial and industrial development should be reevaluated during the routine review of impact fees for fire and hazmat response data to support the different fee structure. An in-lieu mitigation agreement may be needed in order to adequately collect mitigation fees from commercial and/or industrial development with unique considerations.
Residential categories other than single-family dwellings, are differentiated by their size as the fee is assessed on a per square foot basis. These fees are recommended to include the square footage of all classes of covered structures constructed within the District. - 23 - September 2024
SECTION 11: IMPLEMENTATION
If the District Board concurs with and chooses to increase the fee as provided for in this study, the following process should be followed for fee implementation.
Fire District Board Approval
The District Board should adopt a resolution and make a recommendation to the County Board of Supervisors to adopt this fee pursuant to the County’s “police powers” under Article XI, section 7 of the California Constitution.
District Board Approval
Following thorough consideration, and public input, should the District Board act to implement the fee program, the District Board would adopt a resolution and then make a recommendation to the Riverbank and Waterford City Councils and the Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors to adopt this fee pursuant to the City and County’s development “police powers” under Article XI, section 7 of the California Constitution.
City Council and County Board of Supervisors’ Approval
The Riverbank and Waterford City Councils and Stanislaus County Board of Supervisors could be expected consider adoption of the proposed fee schedule in compliance with California Government Code section 66016 through 66018. The Cities and County will then:
Send a notice of a public hearing at least 14 days prior to the hearing to any party that has submitted a written request for such a notice. Have this report and all supporting documentation available for review by the public at least 10 days prior to the hearing. Publish notice of the public hearing in a newspaper of general circulation at least 10 days prior to the scheduled hearing, with a second notice published at least 5 days after the first hearing notice. The notice should include the time and place of the meeting as well as a general explanation of the matter to be considered;
Hold the public hearing to consider adoption of the development impact fee; Adopt an implementing resolution or ordinance to impose the proposed fee and automatically adjust the fee annually for inflation. If the city and/or county has previously adopted impact fees by ordinance, the updated impact fee must also be approved by ordinance;
Begin collecting the fee no sooner than 60 days following adoption of the ordinance and resolution.
Fee Accounting
The District should deposit all fee revenues into a restricted public facility fee account.
Interest earned on fund balances should be credited to the fund. - 24 - September 2024
Use of the Fee
The District should only use fee revenues for capital expenditures that expand the District ability to deliver fire services to accommodate new development. Use of the fee in this manner documents a reasonable relationship between new development and the use of fee revenue.
The Fire District may alter the scope of the capital expenditures or substitute new capital projects as long as the project continues to represent an expansion of the District’s capabilities. If the total cost of all capital expenditures varies from the total cost used as a basis for the fee, the District should revise the fee accordingly.
Fee Exemptions
The following development projects are exempted from payment of the fee:
Structures owned by a governmental agency.
Structures which are reconstructed, so long as the square footage of the reconstructed structure is no greater than the square footage of prior structure. Structures found to have no impact on the District’s fire system. Accessory dwelling units less than 750 square feet.
Inflation Adjustment
The District should adjust the fee annually for inflation in the cost of the capital expenditures to be funded by the fee. A construction cost index should be based on a reputable and easily identifiable source such as the Engineering News Record. Any inflationary adjustment must first be authorized in the enacting resolution or ordinance.
Reporting Requirements
The District should comply with the annual and five-year reporting requirements of Government Code section 66000 et. seq. Annually, the District must identify the fee revenues received and for what purposes they were expended.

City Council Staff Report
Motion: Approving Resolution 2024-55, Accepting Improvements for Project No. 2024-02, “WWTP Road Stabilization Project,” and Authorizing the City Engineer to File a Notice of Completion with the Stanislaus Recorder’s Office.
SUMMARY:
The City Council is being asked to approve Resolution 2024-55 accepting improvements for Project No. 2024-02, “WWTP Road Stabilization Project,” and authorize the City Engineer to file a Notice of Completion with the Stanislaus County Recorder’s Office.
ANALYSIS:
In January 2023, California was hit with a series of atmospheric river storms that caused the slope under the WWTP road to sluff due to saturation of the soil. The City Engineer, Rob Marler, was asked to review the damage and he subsequently asked Kleinfelder, a geotechnical engineering firm, to review and prepare a report. Kleinfelder determined that the road was indeed destabilized and provided a recommendation to correct the deficiency. In winter 2023, the series of atmospheric river storms left all of California with significant damage and the State and Federal Government declared a natural disaster and directed all agencies with storm damage the opportunity to seek funding. City Staff worked with Stanislaus County Office of Emergency Services and a claim was made to Cal OES and FEMA to seek grant funding to correct the WWTP roadway destabilization. A review of the damage was made by Cal OES and FEMA and the damage was determined to be significant and warranted funding.
On June 20, 2024, the City Council awarded a contract in the amount of $642,000 to Platinum Dirt Work, Inc and Platnim has completed all work to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
The table below provides the City Council of an accounting of funding approved to date:
