Consulting Services Agreement NBS Fee Study.docx

Home

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 6 of 9 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.  Impact fees charged by other agencies in addition to those to be evaluated by this Study, including fees for housing, art in public places, school fees, etc., except for utility related impact fee information for water and sewer TASK 4.3 COMPILE DATA ON EXISTING AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT In this task, the project team will collect, review, organize and analyze data on existing and future development in the City and compile it in a form useful for this study. Steps in that process may include:  Establish boundaries of the study area to be used in the analysis (e.g., existing City vs. sphere of influence).  Establish the planning horizon for future development to be addressed in this study (either buildout or a specific target date).  Define the breakdown of development types for which impact fees will be calculated in the study.  Analyze available land use data to establish a baseline of existing development and a forecast of future development by land use type. To a significant extent, this process depends on data to be provided by the City.  Identify demand variables and specific demand factors that can be used to represent the impact of development in the impact fee model.  Prepare development data tables to incorporate into the fee calculation model and the study report. The City will receive a draft Memorandum outlining initial development data gathered and have a chance to review, discuss, and refine this information with the NBS project team. TASK 4.4 FACILITY NEEDS ANALYSIS Using forecasts of future development from Task 4.3, the project team will review the Capital Improvement Program, facility master plans and engineering studies, and work with staff to identify new facilities, facility expansions, vehicles and equipment needed to serve future development. Steps in that process will include the following:  Review adopted level-of-service standards and actual service levels for relevant facility types as well as Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) projects and costs.  Work with City staff to identify the operative level-of-service standard to be used in the impact fee analysis for each facility type.
