Executive Summary
This report summarizes an analysis of development impact fees needed to support future
development in the City of Menifee through 2040. It is the City’s intent that the costs representing
future development’s share of public facilities and capital improvements be imposed on that
development in the form of a development impact fee, also known as a public facilities fee. The
public facilities and improvements included in this analysis are divided into the fee categories
listed below:
Law Enforcement Facilities; General Government Facilities;
Fire Facilities; Public Use Facilities;
Circulation Facilities; Parks and Recreation Facilities;
Storm Drainage Facilities; Library Facilities; and,
Animal Shelter; Master Planning and Nexus Analyses.
Background and Study Objectives
The primary policy objective of a development impact fee program is to ensure that new
development pays the capital costs associated with growth. Although growth also imposes
operating costs, there is not a similar system to generate revenue from new development for
services. The primary purpose of this report is to calculate and present fees that will enable the
City to expand its inventory of public facilities, as new development creates increases in service
demands.
The City imposes public facilities fees under authority granted by the Mitigation Fee Act (the Act),
contained in California Government Code Sections 66000 et seq. This report provides the
necessary findings required by the Act for adoption of the fees presented in the fee schedules
contained herein.
All development impact fee-funded capital projects should be programmed through the City’s five-
year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Using a CIP can help the City identify and direct its fee
revenue to public facilities projects that will accommodate future growth. By programming fee
revenues to specific capital projects, the City can help ensure a reasonable relationship between
new development and the use of fee revenues as required by the Mitigation Fee Act.
Facility Standards and Costs
There are three approaches typically used to calculate facilities standards and allocate the costs
of planned facilities to accommodate growth in compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act
requirements.
The system plan approach is based on a master facilities plan in situations where the needed
facilities serve both existing and new development. This approach allocates existing and planned
facilities across existing and new development to determine new development’s fair share of
facility needs. This approach is used when it is not possible to differentiate the benefits of new
facilities between new and existing development. Often the system plan is based on increasing
facility standards, so the City must find non-impact fee revenue sources to fund existing
development’s fair share of planned facilities. In this report, this approach is used for the law
enforcement, fire, animal services and general government facility fees.
The planned facilities approach allocates costs based on the ratio of planned facilities that serve
new development to the increase in demand associated with new development. This approach is
appropriate when specific planned facilities that only benefit new development can be identified,
or when the specific share of facilities benefiting new development can be identified. Examples

include street improvements to avoid deficient levels of service or a sewer trunk line extension to
a previously undeveloped area. This approach is used for the circulation, storm drainage, and
master planning and nexus analyses fees in this report.
The existing inventory approach is based on a facility standard derived from the City’s existing
level of facilities and existing demand for services. This approach results in no facility deficiencies
attributable to existing development. This approach is often used when a long-range plan for new
facilities is not available. Only the initial facilities to be funded with fees are identified in the fee
study. Future facilities to serve growth will be identified through the City’s annual capital
improvement plan and budget process and/or completion of a new facility master plan. This
approach is to calculate the public use facilities, parks, and library facilities fees in this report.
Use of Fee Revenues
Impact fee revenue must be spent on new facilities or expansion of current facilities to serve new
development. Facilities can be generally defined as capital acquisition items with a useful life
greater than five years. Impact fee revenue can be spent on capital facilities to serve new
development, including but not limited to: land acquisition, construction of buildings, the
acquisition of vehicles or equipment, information technology, software licenses and equipment.

Other Funding Needed
Impact fees may only fund the share of public facilities related to new development in Menifee. They may
not be used to fund the share of facility needs generated by existing development or by development
outside of the City. As shown in Table E.2, approximately $196.6 million in additional funding will be
needed to complete the facility projects the City currently plans to develop. The “Additional Funding
Required” column shows non-impact fee funding required to fund a share of the improvements partially
funded by impact fees. Non-fee funding is needed because these facilities are needed partially to remedy
existing deficiencies and partly to accommodate new development.
The City will need to develop alternative funding sources to fund existing development’s share of the
planned facilities. Potential sources of revenue include, but are not limited to: existing or new general fund
revenues, existing or new taxes, special assessments, and grants.

1. Introduction
This report presents an analysis of the need for public facilities to accommodate new development in the
City of Menifee. This chapter provides background for the study and explains the study approach under
the following sections:
Public Facilities Financing in California;
Study Objectives;
Fee Program Maintenance;
Study Methodology; and
Organization of the Report.
Public Facilities Financing in California
The changing fiscal landscape in California during the past 30 years has steadily undercut the financial
capacity of local governments to fund infrastructure. Three dominant trends stand out:
The passage of a string of tax limitation measures, starting with Proposition 13 in 1978 and
continuing through the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996;
Declining popular support for bond measures to finance infrastructure for the next generation
of residents and businesses; and
Steep reductions in federal and state assistance.
Faced with these trends, many cities and counties have had to adopt a policy of “growth pays its own
way.” This policy shifts the burden of funding infrastructure expansion from existing ratepayers and
taxpayers onto new development. This funding shift has been accomplished primarily through the
imposition of assessments, special taxes, and development impact fees also known as public facilities
fees. Assessments and special taxes require the approval of property owners and are appropriate when
the funded facilities are directly related to the developing property. Development impact fees, on the other
hand, are an appropriate funding source for facilities that benefit all development jurisdiction-wide.
Development impact fees need only a majority vote of the legislative body for adoption.
Study Objectives
The primary policy objective of a public facilities fee program is to ensure that new development pays the
capital costs associated with growth. Policy C-1.2 of the City’s General Plan states “Require development
to mitigate its traffic impacts and achieve a peak hour Level of Service (LOS) D or better at intersections,
except at constrained intersections at close proximity to the I-215 where LOS E may be permitted.” The
primary purpose of this report is to establish the City’s impact fees based on the most current available
facility plans and growth projections. The proposed fees will enable the City to expand its inventory of
public facilities as new development leads to increases in service demands. This report supports the
General Plan policy stated above.
The City imposes public facilities fees under authority granted by the Mitigation Fee Act (the Act),
contained in California Government Code Sections 66000 et seq. This report provides the necessary
findings required by the Act for adoption of the fees presented in the fee schedules presented in this
report.
Menifee is forecast to significant growth through this study’s planning horizon of 2040. This growth will
create an increase in demand for public services and the facilities required to deliver them. Given the
revenue challenges described above, Menifee has decided to use a development impact fee program to
ensure that new development funds the share of facility costs associated with growth. This report makes
use of the most current available growth forecasts and facility plans to update the City’s existing fee
program to ensure that the fee program accurately represents the facility needs resulting from new
development.

Fee Program Maintenance
Once a fee program has been adopted it must be properly maintained to ensure that the revenue collected
adequately funds the facilities needed by new development. To avoid collecting inadequate revenue, the
inventories of existing facilities and costs for planned facilities must be updated periodically for inflation,
and the fees recalculated to reflect the higher costs. The use of established indices for each facility
included in the inventories (land, buildings, and equipment), such as the Engineering News-Record, is
necessary to accurately adjust the impact fees. For a list of recommended indices, see Chapter 14.
While fee updates using inflation indices are appropriate for annual or periodic updates to ensure that fee
revenues keep up with increases in the costs of public facilities, it is recommended to conduct more
extensive updates of the fee documentation and calculation (such as this study) when significant new data
on growth forecasts and/or facility plans become available. For further detail on fee program
implementation, see Chapter 14.
Study Methodology
Development impact fees are calculated to fund the cost of facilities required to accommodate growth. The
six steps followed in this development impact fee study include:
1. Estimate existing development and future growth: Identify a base year for existing
development and a growth forecast that reflects increased demand for public facilities;
2. Identify facility standards: Determine the facility standards used to plan for new and
expanded facilities;
3. Determine facilities required to serve new development: Estimate the total amount of
planned facilities, and identify the share required to accommodate new development;
4. Determine the cost of facilities required to serve new development: Estimate the total
amount and the share of the cost of planned facilities required to accommodate new
development;
5. Calculate fee schedule: Allocate facilities costs per unit of new development to calculate the
development impact fee schedule; and
6. Identify alternative funding requirements: Determine if any non-fee funding is required to
complete projects.
The key public policy issue in development impact fee studies is the identification of facility standards (step
#2, above). Facility standards document a reasonable relationship between new development and the
need for new facilities. Standards ensure that new development does not fund deficiencies associated with
existing development.
Types of Facility Standards
There are three separate components of facility standards:
Demand standards determine the amount of facilities required to accommodate growth, for
example, park acres per thousand residents, square feet of library space per capita, or gallons
of water per day. Demand standards may also reflect a level of service such as the vehicle
volume-to-capacity (V/C) ratio used in traffic planning.
Design standards determine how a facility should be designed to meet expected demand, for
example, park improvement requirements and technology infrastructure for City office space.
Design standards are typically not explicitly evaluated as part of an impact fee analysis but
can have a significant impact on the cost of facilities. Our approach incorporates the cost of
planned facilities built to satisfy the City’s facility design standards.
Cost standards are an alternate method for determining the amount of facilities required to
accommodate growth based on facility costs per unit of demand. Cost standards are useful
when demand standards were not explicitly developed for the facility planning process. Cost
standards also enable different types of facilities to be analyzed based on a single measure
City of Menifee Development Impact Fee Study Update
10
(cost or value), and are useful when different facilities are funded by a single fee program.
Examples include facility costs per capita, cost per vehicle trip, or cost per gallon of water per
day.
New Development Facility Needs and Costs
A number of approaches are used to identify facility needs and costs to serve new development. This is
often a two-step process: (1) identify total facility needs, and (2) allocate to new development its fair share
of those needs.
There are three common methods for determining new development’s fair share of planned facilities costs:
the system plan method, the planned facilities method, and the existing inventory method. Often the
method selected depends on the degree to which the community has engaged in comprehensive facility
master planning to identify facility needs.
The formula used by each approach and the advantages and disadvantages of each method is
summarized below:
System Plan Method
This method calculates the fee based on: the value of existing facilities plus the cost of planned facilities,
divided by demand from existing plus new development:
Value of Existing Facilities + Cost of Planned Facilities
Existing + New Development Demand
This method is useful when planned facilities need to be analyzed as part of a system that benefits both
existing and new development. It is difficult, for example, to allocate a new fire station solely to new
development when that station will operate as part of an integrated system of fire stations that together
achieve the desired level of service.
The system plan method ensures that new development does not pay for existing deficiencies. Often
facility standards based on policies such as those found in General Plans are higher than the existing
facility standards. This method enables the calculation of the existing deficiency required to bring existing
development up to the policy-based standard. The local agency must secure non-fee funding for that
portion of planned facilities required to correct the deficiency to ensure that new development receives the
level of service funded by the impact fee. In this report, this approach is used for the law enforcement, fire,
animal services and general government facility fees.
Existing Inventory Method
The existing inventory method allocates costs based on the ratio of existing facilities to demand from
existing development as follows:
Current Value of Existing Facilities
Existing Development Demand
Under this method new development funds the expansion of facilities at the same standard currently
serving existing development. By definition the existing inventory method results in no facility deficiencies
attributable to existing development. This method is often used when a long-range plan for new facilities is
not available. Only the initial facilities to be funded with fees are identified in the fee study. Future facilities
to serve growth are identified through an annual capital improvement plan and budget process, possibly
after completion of a new facility master plan. This approach is to calculate the public use facilities, parks,
and library fees in this report.
Planned Facilities Method
The planned facilities method allocates costs based on the ratio of planned facility costs to demand from
new development as follows:
Cost of Planned Facilities
New Development Demand
= $/unit of demand
= $/unit of demand
= $/unit of demand
City of Menifee Development Impact Fee Study Update
11
This method is appropriate when planned facilities will entirely serve new development, or when a fair
share allocation of planned facilities to new development can be estimated. An example of the former is a
Wastewater trunk line extension to a previously undeveloped area. An example of the latter is expansion
of an existing library building and book collection, which will be needed only if new development occurs,
but which, if built, will in part benefit existing development, as well. Under this method new development
funds the expansion of facilities at the standards used in the applicable planning documents. This
approach is used for the circulation, storm drainage and master planning and nexus analyses fees in this
report.
Organization of the report
The determination of a public facilities fee begins with the selection of a planning horizon and development
of growth projections for population and employment. These projections are used throughout the analysis
of different facility categories, and are summarized in Chapter 2.
Chapters 3 through 12 identify facility standards and planned facilities, allocate the cost of planned
facilities between new development and other development, and identify the appropriate development
impact fee for each of the following facility categories:
Law Enforcement Facilities; General Government Facilities;
Fire Facilities; Public Use Facilities;
Circulation Facilities; Parks and Recreation Facilities;
Storm Drainage Facilities; Library Facilities; and,
Animal Shelter; Master Planning and Nexus Analyses.
Chapter 13 details the procedures that the City must follow when implementing a development impact fee
program. Impact fee program adoption procedures are found in California Government Code Sections
66016 through 66018.
The five statutory findings required for adoption of the proposed public facilities fees in accordance with
the Mitigation Fee Act are documented in Chapter 14.

2. Growth Forecasts
Growth projections are used as indicators of demand to determine facility needs and allocate those needs
between existing and new development. This chapter explains the source for the growth projections used
in this study based on a 2017 base year and a planning horizon of 2040.
Estimates of existing development and projections of future growth are critical assumptions used
throughout this report. These estimates are used as follows:
The estimate of existing development in 2017 is used as an indicator of existing facility
demand and to determine existing facility standards.
The estimate of total development at the 2040 planning horizon is used as an indicator of
future demand to determine total facilities needed to accommodate growth and remedy
existing facility deficiencies, if any.
Estimates of growth from 2017 through 2040 are used to (1) allocate facility costs between
new development and existing development, and (2) estimate total fee revenues.
The demand for public facilities is based on the service population, dwelling units or nonresidential
development creating the need for the facilities.
Land Use Types
To ensure a reasonable relationship between each fee and the type of development paying the fee, growth
projections distinguish between different land use types. The land use types that impact fees have been
calculated for are defined below.
Single family: Detached and attached one-unit dwellings on individually owned lots.
Multi-family: All attached multi-family dwellings including duplexes and condominiums.
Accessory Dwelling Units: Secondary dwelling unit with complete independent living
facilities for one or more persons.
Senior / Assisted Living: All age restricted housing units. Also includes housing for elderly
or disabled people that provides care and other necessary services for residents.
Commercial / Retail: All commercial and retail development.
Commercial / Service / Office: All educational, hotel/motel and general, professional, and
medical office development.
Industrial / Business Park: All business park, manufacturing and other industrial
development.
Some developments may include more than one land use type, such as a mixed-use development with
both multi-family and commercial uses. In those cases, the facilities fee would be calculated separately for
each land use type.
The City has the discretion to determine which land use type best reflects a development project’s
characteristics for purposes of imposing an impact fee and may adjust fees for special or unique uses to
reflect the impact characteristics of the use.
Existing and Future Development
Table 2.1 shows the estimated number of residents, dwelling units, employees, and building square feet in
Menifee, both in 2017 and in 2040. The base year estimates of residents and dwelling units comes from
the California Department of Finance. Future resident and dwelling unit are based on draft Growth Figures
from SCAG's Integrated Growth Forecast from the 2016-2040 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP).

3 Equivalent building square footage estimated by dividing employees by occupancy density
factors.
Occupant Densities
All fees in this report are calculated based on dwelling units, building square feet. Occupant density
assumptions ensure a reasonable relationship between the size of a development project, the increase in
service population associated with the project, and the amount of the fee.
Occupant densities (residents per dwelling unit or workers per building square foot) are the most
appropriate characteristics to use for most impact fees. The fee imposed should be based on the land use
type that most closely represents the probable occupant density of the development.
The average occupant density factors used in this report are shown in Table 2.2. The residential occupant
density factors for both the various types of dwelling units were calculated using the most recently
available data from US Census’ American Community Survey specific to the City of Menifee. Table
B25033 identifies the estimated population, by type of dwelling unit. Table B25024 identifies the total
City of Menifee Development Impact Fee Study Update
14
amount of dwelling units, by type. The occupant densities resulting from dividing the population by the
corresponding dwelling unit type is shown in Table 2.2.
The ACS does not provide sufficient data to calculate the occupant density for senior / assisted living
dwelling units. Instead of ACS data, this analysis relies on data from an Energy Star Benchmarking study
for a Senior Care Facility. That study estimated the total number of senior supportive units in the US and
the estimate number of residents in those units. The resulting occupancy density factor is shown in Table
2.2.
The nonresidential occupancy factors are based on occupancy factors found in the Employment Density
Study Summary Report, prepared for the Southern California Association of Governments by The
Natelson Company. Though not specific to Menifee, the Natelson study covered employment density over
a wide array of land use and development types, making it reasonable to apply these factors to other
areas. The specific factors used in this report are for developing suburban areas, as defined by the
Natelson study.

3. Law Enforcement Facilities
The purpose of the law enforcement impact fee is to fund the law enforcement facilities needed to serve
new development. Menifee currently receives law enforcement services from a sheriff station in the City of
Perris. A proposed fee is presented based on the system plan standard of law enforcement facilities per
capita.
Service Population
Law enforcement facilities serve both residents and businesses. Therefore, demand for services and
associated facilities are based on the City’s service population including residents and workers.
Table 3.1 shows the existing and future projected service population for law enforcement facilities. While
specific data is not available to estimate the actual ratio of demand per resident to demand by businesses
(per worker) for this service, it is reasonable to assume that demand for these services is less for one
employee compared to one resident, because nonresidential buildings are typically occupied less
intensively than dwelling units. The 0.31-weighting factor for workers is based on a 40-hour workweek
divided by the total number of non-work hours in a week (128) and reflects the degree to which
nonresidential development yields a lesser demand for law enforcement facilities.

Facility Inventories and Standards
This section describes the City’s law enforcement facility inventory and facility standards.
Existing Inventory
The City is currently served by a County Sheriff station in the City of Perris. Menifee does not currently
own any law enforcement facilities. As such, no inventory of existing facilities is included in this analysis,
and the impact fees will be based on funding the construction of a new facility to serve Menifee itself.

Planned Facilities
Table 3.2 summarizes the cost of the planned law enforcement facility needed to serve the City through
2040. The City plans to construct a new law enforcement building. While the facility is likely to cost far
more than the figure listed below, this analysis assumes a total cost of $10 million to be conservative.
Future impact fee updates may increase this assumption as more information and planning becomes
available.

Cost Allocation
Table 3.3 shows new development’s projected per capita investment in law enforcement facilities at the
planning horizon. This value is calculated by dividing cost of existing and planned facilities by the service
population at the planning horizon. The value per capita is multiplied by the worker weighting factor of 0.31
to determine the value per worker.

County Sheriff's Department.
Use of Fee Revenue
The City can use law enforcement facilities fee revenues for the construction or purchase of buildings,
land, and equipment that are part of the system of law enforcement facilities serving new development. At
this time the City intends to build a new law enforcement facility, as summarized in Table 3.2.
City of Menifee Development Impact Fee Study Update

Fee Schedule
Table 3.4 shows the proposed law enforcement facilities fee schedule. The cost per capita is converted to
a fee per unit of new development based on dwelling unit and employment densities (persons per dwelling
unit or employees per 1,000 square feet of nonresidential building space). The total fee includes a two and
a half percent (2.5%) administrative charge to fund costs that include: a standard overhead charge applied
to all City programs for legal, accounting, and other departmental and administrative support, and fee
program administrative costs including revenue collection, revenue and cost accounting and mandated
public reporting.
In Willdan’s experience with impact fee programs, two and a half percent of the base fee adequately
covers the cost of fee program administration. It should be reviewed and adjusted during comprehensive
impact fee updates to ensure that revenue generated from the charge sufficiently covers, but does not
exceed, the administrative costs associated with the fee program.

Non-Fee Funding Required
Completing the planned facilities will provide a higher value of facilities per capita than is currently
provided in Menifee. Impact fee revenue may not be used to increase the level of service provided to
existing development. Therefore, impact fee revenue will not fully fund the planned law enforcement
facilities and some non-fee funding will be required. Table 3.5 shows the projected fee revenue and the
non-fee funding required through 2040. After accounting for the projected future impact fee revenue,
approximately $7.3 in non-fee funding will be needed to complete the planned law enforcement facilities.
The City will need to use alternative funding sources to fund existing development’s share of the planned
law enforcement protection facilities. Potential sources of revenue include, but are not limited to existing or
new general fund revenues, existing or new taxes, special assessments, and grants.

4. Fire Facilities
The purpose of the fire impact fee is to fund the fire facilities needed to serve new development. A
proposed fee is presented based on the system plan standard of fire facilities per capita.
Service Population
Fire facilities are used to provide services to both residents and businesses. The service population used
to determine the demand for fire facilities includes both residents and workers. Table 4.1 shows the
current fire facilities service population and the estimated service population at the planning horizon of
2040.
To calculate service population for fire protection facilities, residents are weighted at 1.00. A worker is
weighted at 0.84 of one resident to reflect the lower per capita need for fire services associated with
businesses.
The specific 0.84 per worker weighting used here is derived data specific to the City of Menifee for the
2014 calendar year. Call for service to residential and nonresidential properties were examined to
determine the relative demand for fire services for a worker, relative to a resident.

Facility Inventories and Standards
This section describes the City’s fire facility inventory and facility standards.
Existing Inventory
Table 4.2 summarizes the City’s current inventory of land, apparatus and vehicles. Fire protection
services are provided from seven stations located throughout the City. The unit cost for the land value
assumption of $131,000 per acre was based on recent sales comparisons in the City provided by
Loopnet.com. Building valuations are conservatively estimated at $300 per square foot. In total, the City
owns approximately $5.5 million in fire protection facilities.

Use of Fee Revenue
The City can use fire facilities fee revenues for the construction or purchase of buildings, land, vehicles,
apparatus and fire protection equipment that are part of the system of fire facilities serving new
development. A list of planned facilities is included in Table 4.3.
Fee Schedule
Table 4.5 shows the proposed fire facilities fee schedule. The cost per capita is converted to a fee per unit
of new development based on dwelling unit and employment densities (persons per dwelling unit or
employees per 1,000 square feet of nonresidential building space). The total fee includes a two and a half
percent (2.5%) administrative charge to fund costs that include: a standard overhead charge applied to all
City programs for legal, accounting, and other departmental and administrative support, and fee program
administrative costs including revenue collection, revenue and cost accounting and mandated public
reporting.
In Willdan’s experience with impact fee programs, two and a half percent of the base fee adequately
covers the cost of fee program administration. It should be reviewed and adjusted during comprehensive
impact fee updates to ensure that revenue generated from the charge sufficiently covers, but does not
exceed, the administrative costs associated with the fee program.

and some non-fee funding will be required. Table 4.6 shows the projected fee revenue and the non-fee
funding required through 2040. After accounting for the projected future impact fee revenue and existing
fund balances approximately $12.4 million in non-fee funding will be needed to complete the planned fire
protection facilities.
The City will need to use alternative funding sources to fund existing development’s share of the planned
fire protection facilities. Potential sources of revenue include, but are not limited to existing or new general
fund revenues, existing or new taxes, special assessments, and grants.

5. Circulation Facilities
This chapter summarizes an analysis of the need for arterial streets, including roadway segments and
intersection improvements, to accommodate new development. The chapter documents a reasonable
relationship between new development and the impact fee for funding of these facilities.
Trip Demand
The need for street improvements is based on the trip demand placed on the system by development. A
reasonable measure of demand is the number of average daily vehicle trips, adjusted for the type of trip.
Vehicle trip generation rates are a reasonable measure of demand on the City’s system of street
improvements across all modes because alternate modes (transit, bicycle, pedestrian) often substitute for
vehicle trips.
The two types of trips adjustments made to trip generation rates to calculate trip demand are described
below:
Pass-by trips are deducted from the trip generation rate. Pass-by trips are intermediates stops
between an origin and a final destination that require no diversion from the route, such as
stopping to get gas on the way to work.
The trip generation rate is adjusted by the average length of trips for a specific land use
category compared to the average length of all trips on the street system.
Table 5.1 shows the calculation of trip demand factors by land use category based on the adjustments
described above. Data is based on extensive and detailed trip surveys conducted in the San Diego region
by the San Diego Association of Governments. The surveys provide one of the most comprehensive
databases available of trip generation rates, pass-by trips factors, and average trip length for a wide range
of land uses. Though urban development patterns differ between San Diego and the City of Menifee, the
use of this data is appropriate as a means of allocating trips across multiple land use categories. It should
be noted that the projections of current and future trip generation in this report are based on data specific
to the City of Menifee.

Project Costs
Cost estimates for roadway capacity projects are summarized in Table 5.3. The City’s traffic engineers
provided information regarding the dimensions of each project to be funded by the DIF (segment length,
width, need for ROW acquisition, etc.). Willdan Engineering identified unit costs reflecting current costs to
build roads in Menifee, including frontage improvements and right of way acquisition. A share of
responsibility is allocated to new development, based on new development’s share of trip demand at the
planning horizon, as identified in Table 5.2.
Certain projects have been conditioned to be built be developers. Those projects are not allocated to this
impact fee. In some cases, conditioned projects are small share of a larger segment. In those cases, new
development will fund it share of the larger segment. Projects conditioned to be built by developers have
been identified and footnoted accordingly in Table 5.3. allocated to new development based on new
development’s share of trip demand at the planning horizon, as identified in Table 5.2.
Table 5.4 documents the cost of signals included in the impact fee program. Similarly, to the roadway
capacity projects, a share of responsibility is allocated to new development, based on new development’s
share of trip demand at the planning horizon, as identified in Table 5.2 (35.4%).
Note that frontage improvements for all projects funded through the TUMF or road and bridge district
benefit fees fee are the responsibility of developers, and not funded through this impact fee.

Total Costs Allocated to New Development
Table 5.5 summarizes the total cost of circulation projects allocated to new development. In total, this
impact fee will fund $96.3 million in circulation projects to serve new development in Menifee through
2040.

Fee per Trip Demand Unit
Every impact fee consists of a dollar amount, or the cost of projects that can be funded by a fee, divided
by a measure of development. In this case, all fees are first calculated as a cost per trip demand unit.
Then these amounts are translated into housing unit ($/unit) and employment space ($/1,000 square feet)
by multiplying the cost per trip by the trip generation rate for each land use category. These amounts
become the fee schedule.
Table 5.6 calculates the cost the cost per trip by dividing the total project costs attributable to new
development summarized in Table 5.5, by the total growth in trips calculated in Table 5.2.

Fee Schedule
Table 5.7 shows the proposed circulation facilities fee schedule. The proposed fees are based on the
costs per trip shown in Table 5.6. The cost per trip is multiplied by the trip demand factors in Table 5.1 to
determine a fee per unit of new development. The total fee includes a two and a half percent (2.5%)
administrative charge to fund costs that include: a standard overhead charge applied to all City programs
for legal, accounting, and other departmental and administrative support, and fee program administrative
costs including revenue collection, revenue and cost accounting and mandated public reporting.
In Willdan’s experience with impact fee programs, two and a half percent of the base fee adequately
covers the cost of fee program administration. It should be reviewed and adjusted during comprehensive
impact fee updates to ensure that revenue generated from the charge sufficiently covers, but does not
exceed, the administrative costs associated with the fee program.

6. Storm Drain Facilities
This chapter summarizes an analysis of the need for storm drain facilities to accommodate growth within
the City of Menifee. This projects and associated costs in this chapter were identified by City staff. This
chapter documents a reasonable relationship between new development and a storm drain fee to fund
storm drain facilities that serve new development.
Storm Drain Demand
Most new development generates storm water runoff that must be controlled through storm drain facilities
by increasing the amount of land that is impervious to precipitation. Table 6.1 shows the calculation of
equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) demand factors based on impervious surface coefficient by land use
category. The impervious surface coefficients are based on data from the Riverside County Flood Control
Hydrology Manual.

EDU Generation by New Development
Projects identified later in this chapter will only serve two distinct areas of the City: the Master drainage

Table 6.2 shows estimates of existing development and projected growth in dwelling units and 1,000
square feet of nonresidential land uses for the MDP South and the Encanto Drive benefit areas. The
projection is based on full buildout of all undeveloped properties within the benefit areas, since all
properties within those areas will benefit from the improvements. The growth in units and square feet is
multiplied by the EDU factors from Table 6.1 to determine the growth in EDUs.

Planned Facilities
City staff identified storm drainage projects that are needed as a result of projected growth in Menifee.
Table 6.3 summarizes the storm drainage projects that will serve development within each benefit area.
The cost of the facilities listed in these tables is the basis for the storm drainage impact fee for new
development in the City. Since new development and existing development will both benefit from the
planned facilities, new development will fund its proportional share of facility costs, as identified in Table
6.2 for each of the benefit areas.

Cost per Equivalent Dwelling Unit
This chapter uses the planned facilities approach to calculate the storm drainage cost standard. The cost
of planned facilities allocated to new development is divided by the growth in EDUs to determine a cost
standard per EDU for each benefit area. Table 6.4 shows the facility cost standard for storm drain facilities
for each benefit area.

Fee Schedule
The maximum justified fee for storm drain facilities in the MDP South and Encanto Drive Benefit areas,
respectively, is shown in Table 6.5. The cost per EDU from Table 6.4 is converted to a fee per unit of new
development based on the EDU factors shown in Table 6.1.
The total fee includes a two and a half percent (2.5%) administrative charge to fund costs that include: a
standard overhead charge applied to all City programs for legal, accounting, and other departmental and
administrative support, and fee program administrative costs including revenue collection, revenue and
cost accounting and mandated public reporting.
In Willdan’s experience with impact fee programs, two and a half percent of the base fee adequately
covers the cost of fee program administration. It should be reviewed and adjusted during comprehensive
impact fee updates to ensure that revenue generated from the charge sufficiently covers, but does not
exceed, the administrative costs associated with the fee program.

7. Animal Shelter Facilities
The purpose of the fee is to ensure that new development funds its fair share of animal shelter facilities. A
fee schedule is presented based on the planned facilities standard of animal shelter facilities in the City of
Menifee to ensure that new development provides adequate funding to meet its needs.
Service Population
Animal shelter facilities serve both residents and businesses. Therefore, demand for services and
associated facilities are based on the City’s service population including residents and workers.
Table 7.1 shows the existing and future projected service population for animal shelter facilities. While
specific data is not available to estimate the actual ratio of demand per resident to demand by businesses
(per worker) for this service, it is reasonable to assume that demand for these services is less for one
employee compared to one resident, because nonresidential buildings are typically occupied less
intensively than dwelling units. The 0.31-weighting factor for workers is based on a 40-hour workweek
divided by the total number of non-work hours in a week (128) and reflects the degree to which
nonresidential development yields a lesser demand for animal shelter facilities.

The City plans to use animal shelter facilities fee revenue to construct improvements to add to the system
of animal shelter facilities to serve new development. Table 7.5 details a projection of fee revenue, based
on the service population growth increment identified in Table 7.1. The City will have to identify $4.8 million
worth of additional animal shelter facilities in order to ensure that the existing standard is maintained
through the planning horizon.

8. General Government Facilities
The purpose of the fee is to ensure that new development funds its fair share of general government
facilities. A fee schedule is presented based on the planned facilities standard of general government
facilities in the City of Menifee to ensure that new development provides adequate funding to meet its
needs.
Service Population
General government facilities serve both residents and businesses. Therefore, demand for services and
associated facilities are based on the City’s service population including residents and workers.
Table 8.1 shows the existing and future projected service population for general government facilities.
While specific data is not available to estimate the actual ratio of demand per resident to demand by
businesses (per worker) for this service, it is reasonable to assume that demand for these services is less
for one employee compared to one resident, because nonresidential buildings are typically occupied less

9. Public Use Facilities
The following chapter documents the nexus analysis, demonstrating the need for new public use and
community center facilities demanded by new development.
Service Population
Public use facilities in Menifee primarily serve residents. Therefore, demand for services and associated
facilities is based on the City’s residential population. Table 9.1 shows the existing and future projected
service population for public use facilities.

Cost Allocation
Table 9.3 calculates the existing cost per capita facility standard by dividing the value of the existing
facilities inventory by the existing service population. The resulting cost per capita is the basis of the
impact fee. Funding facilities at this level will ensure that as development occurs, new development will
contribute to public use center facilities at the same standard that existing development has contributed
thus far. By definition, using the existing standard methodology does not result in existing deficiencies.

The City plans to use public use and community center facilities fee revenue to construct improvements to
add to the system of public use and community center facilities that serves new development. Table 9.5
details a projection of fee revenue, based on the service population growth increment identified in Table
9.1.

10. Parks and Recreation Facilities
The purpose of the parkland and park facilities impact fee is to fund the park facilities needed to serve new
development. The maximum justified impact fee is presented based on the existing plan standard of
parkland and park facilities per capita.
Service Population
Park and recreation facilities in Menifee primarily serve residents. Therefore, demand for services and
associated facilities is based on the City’s residential population. Table 10.1 shows the existing and future
projected service population for park and recreation facilities.

Parkland and Park Facilities Unit Costs
Table 10.3 displays the unit costs necessary to develop parkland in Menifee. The City estimates that it
costs $400,000 per acre to develop an acre of parkland in Menifee. A value of $131,000 per acre for land
is also included, and is consistent with other land assumptions used in this analysis. In total, this analysis
assumes that it costs $531,000 to acquire and develop an acre of parkland in Menifee.

Parkland and Park Facility Standards
Park facility standards establish a reasonable relationship between new development and the need for
expanded parkland and park facilities. Information regarding the City’s existing inventory of existing parks
facilities was obtained from City staff.
The most common measure in calculating new development’s demand for parks is the ratio of park acres
per resident. In general, facility standards may be based on the Mitigation Fee Act (using a city’s existing
inventory of parkland and park facilities), or an adopted policy standard contained in a master facility plan
or general plan. Facility standards may also be based on a land dedication standard established by the
Quimby Act.1 In this case, land acquisition fees calculated in this report are applicable to development not
subject to the Quimby Act. Development subject to Quimby will dedicate land, or pay fees in lieu of
dedication under the City’s existing Quimby ordinance. Development subject to Quimby will not have to
pay the fee in this analysis for land dedication, but will still be responsible for the park improvement portion
of these fees.
Mitigation Fee Act
The Mitigation Fee Act does not dictate use of a particular type or level of facility standard for public
facilities fees. To comply with the findings required under the law, facility standards must not burden new
development with any cost associated with facility deficiencies attributable to existing development.2 A
simple and clearly defensible approach to calculating a facility standard is to use the City’s existing ratio of
park acreage per 1,000 residents. Under this approach, new development is required to fund new parkland
and park facilities at the same level as existing residents have provided those same types of facilities to
date.
City of Menifee Parkland and Park Facilities Standards
Table 10.4 shows the existing standard for improved park acreage per 1,000 residents based on the type
of parkland. In total the City has an existing parkland standard of 0.56 acres per 1,000 residents. The fee

analysis in this report will be based on maintaining a 0.56 acre per 1,000 service population standard as
new development adds demand for parks in Menifee.

Use of Fee Revenue
The City plans to use parkland and park facilities fee revenue to purchase parkland or construct
improvements to add to the system of park facilities that serves new development. The City may only use
impact fee revenue to provide facilities and intensify usage of existing facilities needed to serve new
development.
Fee Schedule
In order to calculate fees by land use type, the investment in park facilities is determined on a per resident
basis for both land acquisition and improvements. These investment factors (shown in Table 10.6) are
investment per capita based on the unit cost estimates and facility standards.
Tables 10.7 shows the park facilities fees for land and improvements based on the existing standard. The
investment per capita is converted to a fee per dwelling unit based on the occupancy density factors in
Table 2.2. The total fee includes an administrative charge to fund costs that include: (1) legal, accounting,
and other administrative support and (2) impact fee program administrative costs including revenue
collection, revenue and cost accounting and mandated public reporting.

11. Master Planning & Nexus
Analyses
The following chapter documents the nexus analysis demonstrating the need for future master planning
and comprehensive nexus analyses updates needed to update impact fees necessary to build facilities to
serve new development.
Service Population
Nexus analyses and facility master planning to update impact fees in Menifee serve both residents and
businesses. Therefore, demand for these analyses based on the City’s service population including
residents and workers.
Table 11.1 shows the existing and future projected service population for nexus analyses and facility
master planning. While specific data is not available to estimate the actual ratio of demand per resident to
demand by businesses (per worker) for these analyses, it is reasonable to assume that demand for these
services is far less for one employee compared to one resident, because nonresidential buildings are
typically occupied less intensively than dwelling units. While specific worker demand factors for Menifee
are not available, this study assumes a worker demand at 0.31 relative to a resident.

Citywide storm-drainage master plan to identify facilities to serve existing and new development within the
City. The total costs of the nexus analyses are allocated to new development. However, since the storm
drain master planning will serve existing and new development, only a proportional share of the storm
drain master plan is allocated to new development. In total, $280,000 of analyses are allocated to new
development.

Table 11.3 calculates the planned standard per 1,000 service population. The cost per capita facility
standard is calculated by dividing cost of the analyses by the increase in service population through 2040.
The resulting cost per capita is the basis of the impact fee. Funding facilities at this level will ensure that as
development occurs, new development will contribute fully fund the nexus analysis updates needed to pay
for its fair share of planned facilities.

12. Library Facilities
The following chapter documents the nexus analysis, demonstrating the need for new library facilities
to serve by new development.
Service Population
Library facilities in Menifee primarily serve residents. Therefore, demand for services and associated
facilities are based on the City’s residential population. Table 12.1 shows the existing and future
projected service population for library facilities.

Existing Library Facilities
The amount of existing library facilities that the City owns will be used to inform the facility standards in
this analysis. Table 12.2 summarizes the City’s existing library facility inventory. Only facilities owned
by the City are included in the inventory.

Cost Allocation
Table 12.3 calculates the existing cost per capita facility standard by dividing the value of the existing
facilities inventory by the existing service population. The resulting cost per capita is the basis of the
impact fee. Funding facilities at this level will ensure that as development occurs, new development
will contribute to library facilities at the same standard that existing development has contributed thus
far. By definition, using the existing standard methodology does not result in existing deficiencies.

Fee Schedule
Table 12.5 shows the proposed library facilities fee schedule. The cost per capita is converted to a fee
per unit of new development based on dwelling unit densities (persons per dwelling). The total fee
includes a two and a half-percent (2.5%) administrative charge to fund costs that include: a standard
overhead charge applied to City programs for legal, accounting, and other departmental and
administrative support, and fee program administrative costs including revenue collection, revenue and
cost accounting, mandated public reporting, and fee justification analyses.
In Willdan’s experience with impact fee programs, two and a half-percent of the base fee adequately
covers the cost of fee program administration. The administrative charge is not an impact fee; rather, it
is a user fee. It should be reviewed and adjusted during comprehensive impact fee updates to ensure
that revenue generated from the charge sufficiently covers, but does not exceed, the administrative
costs associated with the fee program.

13. Implementation
Impact Fee Program Adoption Process
Impact fee program adoption procedures are found in the California Government Code section
66016. Adoption of an impact fee program requires the City Council to follow certain procedures
including holding a public hearing. Data, such as an impact fee report, must be made available at
least 10 days prior to the public hearing. The City’s legal counsel should be consulted for any
other procedural requirements as well as advice regarding adoption of an enabling ordinance
and/or a resolution. After adoption there is a mandatory 60-day waiting period before the fees go
into effect.
Inflation Adjustment
The City has kept its impact fee program up to date by periodically adjusting the fees for inflation.
Such adjustments should be completed regularly to ensure that new development will fully fund
its share of needed facilities. There are no automatic inflation adjustments – the City Council must
act to adopt inflation adjustments by resolution. We recommend the following:
The City’s impact fee ordinance should annually calculate an inflation adjustment to the
fees based on changes in inflation indices (see recommended indices below).
The City Council should annually review the adjusted impact fees and adopt the
adjustments to ensure the fee program adequately recovers new development’s fair
share of facilities.
We recommend that the following indices be used for adjusting fees for inflation:
Buildings – Engineering News-Record’s Construction Cost Index (CCI)
Equipment – Consumer Price Index, All Items, 1982-84=100 for All Urban Consumers
(CPI-U)
The indices recommended can be found for local jurisdictions (state, region), and for the nation.
With the exception of land, we recommend that the national indices be used to adjust for inflation,
as the national indices are not subject to frequent dramatic fluctuations that the localized indices
are subject to.
Due to the highly variable nature of land costs, there is no particular index that captures
fluctuations in land values. We recommend that the City adjust land values based on recent land
purchases, sales or appraisals at the time of the update.
While fee updates using inflation indices are appropriate for periodic updates to ensure that fee
revenues keep up with increases in the costs of public facilities, the City will also need to conduct
more extensive updates of the fee documentation and calculation (such as this study) when
significant new data on growth forecasts and/or facility plans become available.
The steps necessary to update fees for inflation are explained below:
For all of the fee categories except the park facilities fees, the steps are as follows:
1. For each facility type (land, buildings, equipment), identify the percent change in facility
value since the last update, based on changes in each inflation index or for each type of
land.
2. Modify the value of each facility, existing and planned (if applicable) by the percent
change identified in Step 1.
City of Menifee Development Impact Fee Study Update
65
3. Depending on fee methodology for each particular fee category calculate the total value
of existing facilities (existing inventory method), or the value of existing facilities plus
planned facilities (system plan method) using the updated figures from Step 2.
4. Recalculate the cost per capita for each fee category by dividing the results of Step 3 by
either the existing service population if the fee is calculated using the existing inventory
method, or by the future service population is the fee is calculated using the system plan
methodology. Both the existing and future service populations are identified in the first
table of every chapter in this report.
5. Calculate the cost per worker (if applicable) for fee categories that are charged to
nonresidential development. The cost per worker is equal to the cost per capita
calculated in Step 4 multiplied by the worker weighting factor identified in each chapter.
6. Update the fee schedule by multiplying the cost per capita and the cost per worker
calculated in Step 5 by the density factors listed in Table 2.2 to determine the base fee
for each land use.
To update the park facility fees for inflation, the steps are as follows:
1. For each facility type (land, improvements), identify the percent change in facility value
since the last update, based on changes in each inflation index or for each type of land.
2. Modify the value of land acquisition and improvements shown in Table 10.6 by the
percent change identified in Step 1.
3. Using Table 10.6 as a guide, recalculate the cost per resident using the adjusted values
for land acquisition and improvements calculated in Step 2
4. Update the fee schedule by multiplying the costs per capita calculated in Step 3 by the
density factors listed in Table 2.2 to determine the base fee for each land use. The total
fee for a given land use is equal to the cost per capita for land (from step three) multiplied
by the occupant density, added to the cost per capita for improvements (also from step
three) multiplied by the occupant density. See Table 10.7 for reference.
Once all of the fees have been inflated, multiply the sum of all the fees, per land use, by two and
a half percent (2.5%) to determine the administrative charge. Future updates to the fee program
should review the administrative fee to ensure that it fully covers the cost of administering the fee
program.
Reporting Requirements
The City should comply with the annual and five-year reporting requirements of the Mitigation Fee
Act. For facilities to be funded by a combination of public fees and other revenues, identification
of the source and amount of these non-fee revenues is essential. Identification of the timing of
receipt of other revenues to fund the facilities is also important. Table 13.1 summarizes the
annual and five-year requirements of the Act.

Programming Revenues and Projects with the CIP
The City maintains a five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to plan for future infrastructure
needs. The CIP identifies costs and phasing for specific capital projects. The use of the CIP in
this manner documents a reasonable relationship between new development and the use of
those revenues.
The City may decide to alter the scope of the planned projects or to substitute new projects as
long as those new projects continue to represent an expansion of the City’s facilities. If the total
cost of facilities varies from the total cost used as a basis for the fees, the City should consider
revising the fees accordingly.
Credits and Reimbursements
This section discusses recommended credit and reimbursement policies and procedures. Credits
and reimbursements are granted to developers that build and dedicate facilities included in one of
the City’s fee programs. Credits are given for the cost of dedicated facilities up to the amount of
the developer’s impact fee obligation. If the cost of the dedicated facilities is greater than the fee
obligation, then the developer can be reimbursed for that additional amount from future fee
revenues generated by other development projects.
Cities often do not scrutinize credit and reimbursement policies and procedures prior to
implementation of an impact fee program. Cities often evolve this component of a fee program in
an ad hoc manner as development projects are approved that include dedicated public facilities
that otherwise would have been funded by the fee program. Many cities do not explicitly analyze
the tradeoffs between competing policy objectives in this area of implementation. The spectrum of
policy choices facing a city can be framed as “accommodating market forces” on the one end to
“achieving CIP policy goals” on the other:
Accommodating market forces grants a high priority to the infrastructure needs of
current development projects. This results in the immediate granting of credits
against a developer’s fee obligation, and funding reimbursements as soon as
possible with existing fund balances or future fee revenues generated by subsequent
development projects.
Achieving CIP policy goals subordinates the funding of credit and reimbursements
to the phasing of capital projects as adopted in the current CIP. The funding of
credits and reimbursements is delayed until the public facilities dedicated by
developers are scheduled to be constructed according to the CIP.
As a fee program evolves through implementation most cities implement credit and
reimbursement policies that fall somewhere between the two ends of the framework described
above. This framework is shown in Figure 2 on the following page.
City of Menifee Development Impact Fee Study Update
68
Figure 2: Credit and Reimbursement Policy Framework
Recommendations
The City should adopt administrative guidelines to memorialize credit and reimbursement
procedures. Based on Willdan’s experience with impact fee programs in other jurisdictions, we
recommend the following with regards to credits and reimbursements policies:
Fund credits and reimbursements based on CIP priorities - An approach used
successfully by other agencies is to fund credits and/or reimbursements based on the
phasing of projects in the most recently adopted CIP. If a CIP project proposed to be
built and dedicated by a developer is scheduled to be constructed within, say, 12 to
24 months of the credit or reimbursement application then the request would be
funded immediately because the City was planning to complete the project in the
short term. If the CIP project is scheduled at a later date, then the credit and/or
reimbursement would be funded at that time. A less stringent policy would have
credits funded during the fiscal year when the application was made while
reimbursements are subject to the CIP phasing constraint described above.
Allow credits against a developer’s fee obligation as long as the request is submitted
at least 90 days prior to issuance of the building permit.
The City will fund reimbursements only as part of the annual budget process.
An application for reimbursement must be submitted by December 1 to be eligible for
funding in the following fiscal year.
The value of credits and reimbursements shall be based on the cost of the facility as
estimated in the most recent technical report upon which the fee is calculated.

14. Mitigation Fee Act Findings
Public facilities fees are one-time fees typically paid when a building permit is issued and
imposed on development projects by local agencies responsible for regulating land use (cities
and counties). To guide the widespread imposition of public facilities fees the State Legislature
adopted the Mitigation Fee Act (the Act) with Assembly Bill 1600 in 1987 and subsequent
amendments. The Act, contained in California Government Code Sections 66000 through 66025,
establishes requirements on local agencies for the imposition and administration of fee programs.
The Act requires local agencies to document five findings when adopting a fee.
The five statutory findings required for adoption of the public facilities fees documented in this
report are presented in this chapter and supported in detail by the preceding chapters. All
statutory references are to the Act.
Purpose of Fee
Identify the purpose of the fee (§66001(a)(1) of the Act).
Development impact fees are designed to ensure that new development will not burden the
existing service population with the cost of facilities required to accommodate growth. The
purpose of the fees proposed by this report is to provide a funding source from new development
for capital improvements to serve that development. The fees advance a legitimate City interest
by enabling the City to provide public facilities to new development.
Use of Fee Revenues
Identify the use to which the fees will be put. If the use is financing facilities, the facilities
shall be identified. That identification may, but need not, be made by reference to a capital
improvement plan as specified in §65403 or §66002, may be made in applicable general or
specific plan requirements, or may be made in other public documents that identify the
facilities for which the fees are charged (§66001(a)(2) of the Act).
Fees proposed in this report, if enacted by the City, would be used to fund expanded facilities to
serve new development. Facilities funded by these fees are designated to be located within the
City’s sphere of influence. Fees addressed in this report have been identified by the City to be
restricted to funding the following facility categories: law enforcement facilities, fire facilities,
circulation facilities, storm drainage facilities, animal shelter facilities, general government
facilities, public use facilities, parks and master planning and nexus analyses.
Benefit Relationship
Determine the reasonable relationship between the fees' use and the type of
development project on which the fees are imposed (§66001(a)(3) of the Act).
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. Under the
Act, 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 residential and non-residential use classifications that will pay the fees.
Burden Relationship
Determine the reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities and
the types of development on which the fees are imposed (§66001(a)(4) of the Act).

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 non-residential 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 non-residential development.
The standards used to identify growth needs are also used to determine if planned facilities will
partially serve the existing service population by correcting existing deficiencies. This approach
ensures that new development will only be responsible for its fair share of planned facilities, and
that the fees will not unfairly burden new development with the cost of facilities associated with
serving the existing service population.
Chapter 2, Growth Forecasts 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.
Proportionality
Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fees amount and the
cost of the facilities or portion of the facilities attributable to the development on which
the fee is imposed (§66001(b) of the Act).
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 and Unit Costs, or the Service Population sections in each
facility category chapter for a description of how service populations or other factors are
determined for different types of land uses. See the Fee Schedule section of each facility
category chapter for a presentation of the proposed facilities fees.
