CC - 2015-07 - Adding Development Impact Fees to the City's Comprehensive Fee Schedule to Implement the Development Fee Program Established by Ordinance No. 949RESOLUTION NO. 2015 -07
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, COUNTY
OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, ADDING
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES TO THE CITY'S
COMPREHENSIVE FEE SCHEDULE TO IMPLEMENT THE
DEVELOPMENT FEE PROGRAM ESTABLISHED BY
ORDINANCE NO. 949.
WHEREAS, the City of Rosemead adopted Ordinance No. 949 establishing the
authority for imposing and charging Citywide Development Impact Fees (DIF) to new
residential development and new commercial and industrial development within the City
to mitigate the impacts on availability and condition of public facilities caused by this
development, subject to the adoption of an implementing resolution and fee schedule;
and
WHEREAS, the City completed a Rosemead Development Impact Fee Study
(Impact Fee Study), dated April 21, 2015, which is on file with the City Clerk. The
Impact Fee Study identifies the need for and calculates the amount of the development
impact fees to pay for the necessary public facility improvements, which are needed to
serve and mitigate the impacts of new development; and
WHEREAS, it is the intent and purpose of the DIF to ensure that new
development will not burden the existing service population with the cost of traffic, public
safety, general government, and park facilities required to accommodate growth. The
fees advance a legitimate City interest by enabling the City to provide municipal
services to new development, and
WHEREAS, the City Council makes the following findings
1) The fees collected shall be used fund expanded facilities to serve new development
by the purchase of land, the construction or expansion of buildings and public
facilities, purchases of vehicles and equipment, and the construction of roadway
improvements, as more specifically described in the Impact Fee Study. Fees will be
used to provide facilities in the following categories: traffic, general government,
public safety, and parks. Facilities funded by these fees are designated to be
located within the City.
2) The City will restrict fee revenue to the acquisition of land, construction of facilities
and buildings, and purchase of related equipment, furnishings, vehicles, and
services used to serve new development. Facilities funded by the fees are expected
to provide a citywide network of facilities accessible to the additional residents and
workers associated with new development. Fees are not intended to fund planned
facilities needed to correct existing deficiencies. Thus, a reasonable relationship can
be shown between the use of fee revenue and the new development projects that
will pay the fees.
i
3) Facilities need is based on a facility standard that represents the demand generated
by new development for those facilities. For each facility category, demand is
measured by a single facility standard that can be applied across land use types to
ensure a reasonable relationship to the type of development. For most facility
categories service population standards are calculated based upon the number of
residents associated with residential development and the number of workers
associated with nonresidential development. To calculate a single, per capita
standard, one worker is weighted less than one resident based on an analysis of the
relative use demand between residential and nonresidential development. The
estimated demand for traffic facilities is based on the average number of vehicle
trips generated by each type of development, adjusted for variations trip length and
pass -by trips.
Chapter 2, Growth Forecasts of the Impact Fee Study provides a description of how
service population and growth forecasts are calculated. Facility standards are
described in the Facility Standards sections of each facility category chapter of the
Impact Fee Study.
4) The reasonable relationship between each facilities fee for a specific new
development project and the cost of the facilities attributable to that project is based
on the estimated new development growth the project will accommodate. Fees for a
specific project are based on the project's size. Larger new development projects
can result in a higher service population resulting in higher fee revenue than smaller
projects in the same land use classification. Thus, the fees ensure a reasonable
relationship between a specific new development project and the cost of the facilities
attributable to that project.
See Chapter 2, Growth Forecasts, or the Service Population or Trip Demand from
New Development sections in each facility category chapter for a description of how
service populations or other facility demand factors are determined for different
types of land uses. See the Fee Schedule section of each facility category chapter of
the Impact Fee Study for a presentation of the proposed facilities fees.
WHEREAS, the establishment of DIF is statutorily exempt under California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15273 (a)(1) "Rates, Tolls, Fairs and
Charges," as well as Sections 15061 (b)(3) and 15378 (b)(4), and
WHEREAS, on May 26, 2015 the City Council heard public testimony and
considered evidence in a public hearing held and noticed in accordance with
Government Code §§ 66016 and 66018.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD
