File Number: 25-347 prepare an Ordinance for consideration by the City Council at a future date. Committee Review and Actions The City Council Finance Committee reviewed the proposed fee updates on May 28, 2025, and recommended advancing the discussion to the full Council for consideration of fee feasibility and market conditions. The Committee was supportive of creating a public art requirement for new development projects. APPLICABLE GENERAL PLAN POLICIES Land Use Element: ·Policy LU-4.2 - Fair Share Contributions. Require new residential development to pay its fair share of the cost of capital improvements needed to serve that development ·Policy LU-4.4 - Park and School Site Acquisition. Consider acquiring vacant or underutilized sites for park or school development in addition to facilitating private development on those sites. Open Space, Conservation, and Parks Element: ·Policy OSC-1.1 - Park Rehabilitation. Encourage the rehabilitation of the City’s parks to provide residents of all ages and physical capabilities with access to as wide a variety of recreational experiences as possible. Park improvements should maintain a balance between active and passive recreation areas and should ensure that the park system benefits a diverse range of user groups. ·Policy OSC-1.4 - Priority on Renovation. Where cost savings and equivalent benefits would be achieved, rehabilitate existing recreational facilities before building entirely new facilities. A priority should be placed on renovating athletic fields and swimming pools, improving energy efficiency, and replacing outdated facilities with new facilities that are safe, attractive, and more responsive to current needs. ·Policy OSC-2.3 - Park Dedication. Require new residential development to pay an impact fee and/or to dedicate parkland to offset the increase in park needs resulting from new residents. Where on-site parkland is dedicated, it should be improved, maintained, and accessible to the general public. Housing Element ·Policy P.1.1 - Reduce Barriers to Housing Development. Facilitate innovative housing models and promote regulatory reforms that reduce the costs of housing production while also promoting broader citywide housing priorities. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The proposed Ordinance and Resolutions are exempt from CEQA under the “common sense” exemption (CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3)), as adoption of fee schedules and dedication standards has no potential to cause a significant environmental impact, and CEQA Guidelines Section 15273(a) (4), adoption of fees to obtain funds for capital projects necessary to maintain level of service. Each of the foregoing provides a separate independent basis for CEQA compliance. SUMMARY OF PUBLIC OUTREACH EFFORTS Page 5 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/4/2025
