CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br /> PARK IMPACT FEE STUDY <br /> INTRODUCTION <br /> The City of San Leandro (City) provides significant recreational opportunities for its citizens. <br /> City recreational facilities include 89 acres of traditionally developed parkland and 182 acres of <br /> golf courses. The City provides additional recreational opportunities through several parks <br /> officially leased from other entities but maintained and operated by the City, and through several <br /> special use facilities owned and/or operated by the City. <br /> The calculations in this report assume that an additional 86.5 acres of developed parkland will be <br /> provided through Joint Use Agreements with the San Leandro and San Lorenzo Unified School <br /> District. The agreements would enable use of School District park and recreational facilities by <br /> San Leandro citizens during non - school hours. <br /> Much of the park and recreation inventory and service level assessment is based on the City of <br /> San Leandro Parks Needs Assessment (6/3/98). Deviations from the Parks Needs Assessment for <br /> the purposes of impact fee calculation and documentation are noted. <br /> PURPOSE OF THE IMPACT FEE STUDY <br /> This report provides the documentation required for the imposition of a development impact fee <br /> to pay for park and recreation facilities. Reasons for implementing a park and recreation <br /> facilities impact fee include the following: <br /> • The Quimby exactions, as currently implemented, do not cover the cost of <br /> providing park and recreation facilities at the current standard. <br /> • The City is reassessing, and may increase, the current park and recreation <br /> facilities standard. <br /> • An increasing share of residential development is outside of subdivisions and, <br /> therefore, is currently not subject to the Quimby exaction. <br /> • As implemented by the City, the Quimby exactions apply only to land <br /> dedication and do not include a component for park development. <br /> The fee calculations in this report are conservative. They are based on the City's existing <br /> standards for parkland and the current estimated land value of that parkland, rather than an <br /> idealized goal for parkland acquisition and development.
