City of San Leandro Page 3-10 Parks Development Impact Fee Study May 14, 2025 Purpose of the Fee: The purpose of the impact fees calculated in this chapter is to mitigate the impact of new residential development on the need for parks in San Leandro and to prevent a reduction in the level of service provided to residents of the City as a result of new development. Use of the Fee. Impact fees calculated in this chapter will be used to provide additional parks or park improvements to mitigate the impacts of new residential development in the City. Specific projects and costs to be funded by these impact fees can be found in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan. As provided by the Mitigation Fee Act, revenue from impact fees may also be used for temporary loans from one impact fee fund or account to another. Reasonable Relationship between the Use of the Fee and the Development Type on Which It Is Imposed. The impact fees calculated in this chapter will be used to provide additional parks or park improvements to mitigate the impact of added population associated with new development on the need for parks in San Leandro. Reasonable Relationship between the Need for the Facilities and the Type of Development on Which the Fee Is Imposed. New development increases the need for parks to maintain the existing level of service as described earlier in this chapter. Without additional park space and improvements, the increase in population associated with new residential development would result in a reduction in the level of service provided to all residents of the City. Reasonable Relationship between the Amount of the Fee and the Facility Cost Attributable to the Development Project. The amount of the impact fees for park land and park improvements calculated in this chapter depend on the estimated increase in population per unit associated with residential development unit-size category. The fees per unit of development calculated in this chapter for each unit-size category are based on the estimated average population per unit for that type of development in San Leandro. Thus, the fee charged to a development project reflects the impact of that project on the need for parks in the City.
