Public Feedback on Development Impact Fee Study (May 1 through September 12, 2018) Page 5 a. Staff response — Staff contacted neighboring cities. The following cities responded: Dublin - Public Facilities and Fire Impact fees were updated in October 2017. Downtown and Western Dublin Traffic Impact fees were updated in September 2016 and Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact fees are expected to be updated in March 2019. Fremont — The last update was in 2015 and they expect to hire a consultant in mid-2019 to begin a comprehensive update. Livermore — planning to update sewer connection fees in the next four months and traffic impact fees in the next six months. San Ramon — updated their Development Impact Fees last year. They don't have any plans in the near future to do another Nexus Study. 23.Grandfather in projects already in the pipeline defined as applications in at the time the ordinance is adopted would have a one-year grandfather on the existing fees. a. Staff response — Staff concurs and will make a recommendation to the City Council regarding "grandfathering" the existing fees for projects already deemed complete or already approved, but where permits have not yet been issued. 24. Exempt Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) from paying the Affordable Housing fees. a. Staff response — Staff does not recommend support for exempting projects with ADUs from paying affordable housing fees. ADUs are `affordable by design', but that doesn't necessarily make them affordable in today's rental market. Further, there is no requirement that ADUs are available for rent once constructed and we do not limit/cap the rents. 25.Comments showing general agreement. 26.No issues with the transportation projects 27.No issues with the public facilities other than Civic Center 28. Letter from Building Industry Association dated September 4, 2018 (attached) a. Staff response: i. Pleasanton's current Development Impact fees are considerably lower than most of Dublin and Livermore's fees and yet Pleasanton's median housing price of $1 ,253,000 greater than Dublin and Livermore's median housing prices of $1,068,500 and $825,000 respectively which suggests development impact fees are not a significant contributor to housing prices. Further, staff's recommendation is to set fees commensurate with the average of Livermore and Dublin. Finally, staff is not recommending any increase to the Affordable Housing Fee commercial land uses which means the City is not planning on accommodating all workers.
