Public Facility Fee - Parks

“The purpose of the parks and recreation facilities fee is to ensure that new development funds its fair share of Countywide parks and recreation facilities. The County will use fee revenues to expand park facilities to serve new development.”

“The County can use park facilities fee revenues for the construction or purchase of new buildings, land, land improvements, vehicles, or equipment that expand the capacity of the existing parks system to serve new development. Fee revenues may not be used for replacement of aging facilities or equipment or to otherwise correct existing deficiencies unrelated to new development.”

“The County imposes development impact fees in unincorporated areas under authority granted by the Mitigation Fee Act (the Act), contained in California Government Code Sections 66000 et seq. This report provides the necessary findings required by the Act for adoption of the fees presented in the fee schedules contained herein. The County has agreements with the incorporated cities within the County to implement the County impact fees.”

“The foregoing Resolution was adopted this 9th day of October, 2018, by the following vote: Supervisor Frazier voted: ABSENT / Supervisor Rogers voted: YES / Supervisor Poythress voted: YES / Supervisor Rodriguez voted: YES / Supervisor Wheeler voted: YES”

“The Development Impact Fees shall be solely used for (i) the purposes described in the Nexus Study; (ii) reimbursing the County for a development project's fair share of those public facilities identified in the County's Capital Improvement Plan and constructed by the County; or (iii) reimbursing developers who construct public facilities identified in the County's Capital Improvement Plan.”

“The maximum fees outlined in the study by Willdan Financial Services are substantiated by their analysis, but this does not require the County to implement the full fees. The Resolution brought today for consideration of approval by your Board implements an increase of only 20% of the increases justified by the study over existing fees established in 2007.”
