In order to achieve this standard, the City of San Leandro requires new <br />residential development to pay a Park Facilities Development Impact Fee (the “Park Impact <br />Fee”). The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that there is adequate parkland to serve new <br />residential developments. Developers that dedicate land to the City for park purposes are given a <br />credit against the amount of Park Impact Fees owed. The Park Impact Fee is authorized by State <br />law, including the Mitigation Fee Act and Quimby Act. The City adopted the current Park Impact <br />Fee in 2005 and was supported by a fee study completed at the time. The amount of the fee <br />increases every year to account for inflation. <br />Because the purpose of the Park Impact Fee is to maintain the amount of park facilities for San <br />Leandro residents on a per capita basis, the Park Impact Fee is based on certain assumptions <br />about residential occupancy rates. Specifically, the Park Impact Fee was established based on <br />an assumed occupancy rate of 2.02 people per multifamily unit and 2.53 people per single family <br />unit. <br />The City recently approved two multi-family residential projects submitted through the SB 35 <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 12/2/2021 <br />152
