City of San Leandro Comprehensive User Fee Study and Development Impact Fee Study 5 Update of Existing Impact Fees  Park Development Impact Fees, including both Park Land Acquisition and Park Improvement components.  Overhead Utility Conversion Fees, though technically not an impact fee but rather an in-lieu fee  Traffic Impact Fees, to include the Citywide Development Fees for Street Improvements. To calculate traffic impact fees on the basis of Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), we would need data on trip lengths by land use type for the City. Opportunities for New Impact Fees  General Government facilities for City Hall, corporation yard, and other types of similar general support facilities, vehicles, and equipment needed to serve development.  Public Safety facilities for police and fire facilities, apparatus, vehicles, and equipment.  Library buildings and collection materials.  Community facilities such as recreation centers, community centers, etc. The following sub-tasks represent the typical requirements of an impact fee study and can be customized to meet the specific needs of this project. TASK 4.1 KICKOFF MEETING To kickoff this study, the NBS project team will attend a kickoff meeting with key City staff and carry out other activities required to initiate the study, including:  Discuss the goals, work plan and schedule for the project.  Establish coordination, communication, and reporting procedures.  Evaluate available information resources.  Review the existing impact fee program and identify any issues.  Become familiar with the City’s geography, development patterns, growth potential and existing facilities. TASK 4.2 CONDUCT COMPARATIVE IMPACT FEE SURVEY Conducting this comparison in the beginning phase of the project will assist in identifying regional approaches to structuring and charging impact fees, as well as any opportunities for impact fees the City is not currently charging. Although an “apples to apples” comparison of cost recovery policy and fee structures between agencies is challenging, a comparison can also ensure a smoother implementation process. We will apply our years of industry expertise comparing similar impact fees in up to five (5) neighboring and comparable communities. A list of communities will be selected and approved by City staff. We will download their respective fee schedules and supporting studies from the Internet. If schedules and supporting studies are not available on the Internet, we will make a reasonable attempt to contact the agency to obtain that information. We will then compile a comparison of the following information:  Impact Fee program fee categories and amounts, for the most readily comparable fee items that match impact fee categories proposed to be evaluated by this Study.
