Pleasanton Comprehensive Fee Update and Nexus Study November 2024 <br /> 6. Nexus Findings and Impact Fee Summary <br /> This chapter documents the necessary findings for the approval of a comprehensive DIF <br /> program for Pleasanton, as required under Government Code Section 66000 (also <br /> referred to as AB1600/the Mitigation Fee Act). Specifically, it demonstrates the "nexus" <br /> between new development in Pleasanton and the infrastructure improvements needed to <br /> serve it. It also summarizes the DIF calculations presented in previous chapters. <br /> Nexus Findings <br /> The development impact fees to be collected for all new development are calculated <br /> based on the proportionate share of the total facility demand that the land uses included <br /> in the DIF are anticipated to represent at build-out of the General Plan. With this context, <br /> the following findings are made regarding the Fee Program. <br /> Purpose and Use of Fees <br /> Parks and Recreation Facilities <br /> The fee will fund acquisition and improvements of new parks as well as existing facility <br /> improvements and renovations, as documented in Chapter 3. <br /> Public Facilities <br /> The fee will fund construction and expansion of public facilities, including general <br /> government, fire, police, and public works. The public facility components are <br /> documented in Chapter 3. <br /> Transportation <br /> Fee revenue will be used to fund City transportation improvements, including <br /> interchange, pedestrian / bicycle safety, and traffic signal improvements required to <br /> serve future growth. A list of projects and costs is included in Appendix Table B-1. <br /> Commercial Linkage Fee <br /> The fee generated by this program will be deposited in the City's Lower Income Housing <br /> Fund, to assist in the production, acquisition of at-risk units, or rehabilitation of <br /> affordable housing. <br /> Relationship between Use of Fees and Type of Development <br /> New development in the City of Pleasanton will require additional public facilities and <br /> capital improvements, to maintain adequate levels of service and meet the needs of new <br /> residents and employees. The DIF revenue will be used to fund the "fair share" cost of <br /> these facilities and improvements based on the nexus relationships described in previous <br /> Economic& Planning Systems, Inc.
