City of San Leandro Page 4-5 Parks Development Impact Fee Study May 14, 2025 connection with the approval of a development project for three consecutive years, the agency shall not require a deposit for the independent audit and shall pay the cost of the audit. Indexing of In-Lieu/Impact Fees. In-lieu fees and impact fees calculated in this report are based on current costs and should be adjusted periodically to account for changes in the cost of facilities or other capital assets that will be funded by those fees. That adjustment is intended to account for escalation in costs for land, construction, vehicles and other relevant capital assets. We are not aware of any price index specific to park improvements. The Engineering News Record Building Cost Index (BCI) and Construction Cost Index (CCI) may be useful for indexing park construction costs. The BCI is more appropriate for buildings while the CCI is more appropriate for roads and engineering improvements. Of the two, the CCI seems better related to general park improvements. Where land costs are covered by an impact fee or in-lieu fee, land costs should be adjusted based on changes in local land prices. Requirements Imposed by AB 602 In 2021, the California Legislature passed AB 602 and the Governor signed it into law.
