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 pazks <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 Parlr~ 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.
