ADUs are typically small residential units constructed on an existing residential parcel, <br />often in the rear yard or as a second-story addition with a separate entrance. <br />BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS <br />The Engineering and Transportation Department collects a Park Facilities Development Impact <br />Fee (PFDI) when issuing permits for residential development projects within San Leandro. The <br />fee was created to finance the purchase of land and the construction of park facilities in-lieu of <br />land dedication as described in San Leandro Municipal Code Chapter (SLMC) 7-1, Article 8, <br />“Dedications and Reservations. The PFDI fee is currently assessed at three different rates <br />according to the following land use categories: <br />·Single-Family, <br />·Multi-Family, and <br />·Special Unit (defined as any dwelling unit that is neither Single-Family nor Multi-Family; <br />also includes Secondary Dwelling Unit as well as Senior Housing) <br />ADUs have historically been benchmarked at the Special Unit fee rate since their size is typically <br />equivalent to Secondary Dwelling and Senior Housing units. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 4/30/2019
