Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and Last revised November 8, 2022 NBS for Cost Allocation Plan, Comprehensive User Fee Study, & Development Impact Fee Study Exhibit A – Page 5 of 9 Task 4: Development Impact Fee Study We understand the scope of this review is to include an evaluation of the City’s existing impact fees, as well as to identify opportunities for new impact fees that the City may wish to consider. Based on our review of the City’s Development Fees for Fiscal Year 2022-23, and discussions related to the RFP requirements to date, the following is a list of the City’s existing impact fees that will be included in the scope of services: 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.
