City of San Leandro Comprehensive User Fee Study and Development Impact Fee Study 7 TASK 4.5 IMPACT FEE ANALYSIS Using the information developed in previous tasks, the project team will conduct the impact fee analysis and build a spreadsheet model to calculate impact fees by land use type for each type of facility addressed in the study. That process typically includes these steps:  Work with City staff to define appropriate fee calculation methods for each of the facilities addressed in this study.  Construct a spreadsheet-based fee calculation model incorporating data on existing and future development, demand factors and eligible facility costs.  Specify formulas in the model to allocate facility costs in proportion to the impact of new development by land use type.  Calculate a cost per unit of service for each facility type.  Convert the cost per unit of service into a schedule of impact fees per unit of development, by development type.  Project potential revenue from the proposed impact fees. TASK 4.6 DRAFT AND FINAL STUDY REPORTS The impact fee study report will explain the data, methodology, formulas and assumptions used in the fee calculations and document the nexus between the proposed fees and the impacts of development for each type of impact fee calculated in the study. The report will also propose findings to satisfy the requirements in Section 66001 of the Mitigation Fee Act regarding the purpose of the fees, the use of the fees, and the reasonable relationship between the fees and development. As the study progresses, the project team will submit preliminary drafts of portions of the study report for review and comment by City staff. Once all sections are in draft form, an administrative draft of the entire study report, incorporating any previous staff comments, will be submitted and reviewed with City staff. Then a final draft document will be prepared for the City Council and public review. If necessary, additional changes will be incorporated into the final study report. The study report will include the following components:  An Executive Summary including summary impact fee tables.  A chapter discussing the legal framework and methods used to calculate the fees.  A chapter presenting data on existing and future development in the study area and the factors used to quantify the impacts of development on individual facility types.  A separate chapter for each impact fee presenting the data and methodology used in the analysis, a detailed explanation of the impact fee calculations, and documentation of the nexus between the impact fees and development.  A chapter on implementation recommendations, covering steps needed to comply with the Mitigation Fee Act through proper administration of the impact fees. Deliverables include: (1) Preliminary chapter drafts; (2) a complete draft report for staff review; (3) a final draft report for City Council and public review; (4) the final report. All deliverables will be submitted in electronic pdf format. At the conclusion of the study, NBS will provide the City with the final report in Word format and the impact fee model in Excel format.
