Calculating Fair Share Contributions <br /> The next step will be to apportion facility costs to specific land use categories. Using the results <br /> of the Pleasanton model application described above, Fehr& Peers will calculate the proportion <br /> of usage of each facility in the TDIF that comes from new development in the City. Using <br /> transportation impact analysis trip generation rates prepared for the City, Fehr& Peers will <br /> calculate fees for each land use category that reflect typical impact on the transportation system. <br /> Task 5: Economic Considerations <br /> EPS will consider the economic implications of the maximum allowable fee based on a variety <br /> of factors. First, EPS will provide information on fees from other comparable and neighboring <br /> jurisdictions so the City can compare its current and potential, updated fee levels. Second, EPS <br /> will consider the collective effects of potential increases relative to development values and <br /> standard, supportable fee burden levels. Depending on the outcome of this analysis and <br /> discussions with City staff, EPS will recommend methods for making comparability and/or <br /> feasibility-related adjustments to the updated fees. <br /> Task 6: Final Fee and Implementation Considerations <br /> EPS will work with the City to determine a recommended fee schedule that is consistent with the <br /> technical work described above, but that also considers other City policy issues, implementation <br /> and administrative considerations, and potential economic consequences of the fee program. <br /> Based on the City staffs input, the EPS team will work identify infrastructure funding needs and <br /> the applicability of impacts fees to address them, incorporating best practices and innovative <br /> techniques, as appropriate. For example, EPS will apply its broad practice in infrastructure <br /> finance to identity other creative financing mechanisms that might compliment the fee program. <br /> EPS will also work with the City departments to identify any other funding sources or expected <br /> developer contributions (e.g. through the Development Agreements). Fee implementation <br /> considerations will be documented in the EPS Team's deliverables. <br /> Task 7: Deliverables and Presentations <br /> The EPS Team will prepare technical reports with AB1600 fees provided under a separate cover <br /> from the commercial linkage and inclusionary housing in lieu fee reports. Fehr& Peers will <br /> prepare the transportation impact fee section of the technical report with EPS taking the lead on <br /> all other components, including water and sewer. The technical report will document the <br /> assumptions and methodology and will establish the required nexus for the recommended fees. <br /> The EPS Team will first prepare an administrative draft Public Review Draft of the Final Impact <br /> Fee Report(one hard copy and one electronic copy in PDF file). This report will include copies <br /> of all data, models, and other materials used in the analysis and satisfy the reporting <br /> requirements of the relevant statutes. The comments received from the City staff will be <br /> incorporated into the Public Review Draft of Final Impact Fee Report. The baseline budget <br /> assumes that the EPS Team will be available for a meeting to present methodology and key <br /> findings to the City Council. The budget estimate also includes three face-to-face meetings with <br /> staff and other stakeholders (with three additional meetings assumed under the optional task; <br /> note, all Team members may not attend every meeting). Additional meetings can be attended on <br /> a time-and-materials basis. <br /> 10IPage <br />
