Pleasanton Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Draft Report 07/12/18 • Fee Amount Must Be Based on a Rational Nexus. An impact fee amount must be based on a reasonable nexus, or connection, between new development and the needs and corresponding costs of the capital facilities and improvements need to accommodate it. As such, an impact fee must be supported by specific findings that explain or demonstrate this nexus or relationship. In addition, the impact fee amount must be structured such that the revenue generated does not exceed the cost of providing the facility or improvement for which the fee is imposed. Summary of Maximum Proposed Fee Schedule Table 1 summarizes the City's maximum allowable development impact fee schedule for the capital facility and equipment needs evaluated in this Nexus Report. As noted above, the City can adopt fees below these maximum, nexus-supported levels based on policy considerations. The nexus documentation and maximum allowable fee levels for the affordable housing and commercial linkage fees are provided under a separate cover.

Sources:City of Pleasanton:and Economic&Planning Systems,Inc. These development impact fees apply to new residential and nonresidential development based on a "fair share" allocation of specified capital facility and equipment costs. The maximum fee estimates include a 3 percent fee program administration fee, consistent with other Mitigation Fee Act program administrative costs in many other California jurisdictions.' Fees apply to all new development inside the City limits, unless otherwise exempted by Ordinance. When adopted, the new fees will replace the City's existing fee schedule charged to new development (exclusive of existing development agreements), for parks and recreational facilities, public facility improvements, and transportation, and will add a new fee for downtown beautification. 1 The 3 percent administration cost is designed to cover expenses for preparation of the development impact fee and subsequent updates as well as the required reporting, auditing, collection and other annual administrative costs involved in overseeing the program. Development impact fee programs throughout California have applied similar administrative charges. Economic& Planning Systems, Inc. 3 P:l15100051151111P/easantonFee\Report\151111_FeeNexus_071218.tlocx
