Source: N/A Finance: Council Notes: Agenda Item No. CZ3 X07 { STAFF REPORT Subiect• Adjustment to the storm drain development impact fees. Background: In the spring of 2006, the Mayor and Common Council adopted Resolution 2006- 97 increasing the development impact fees for police and fire facilities/equipment, aquatics facilities, public meeting facilities, and library facilities/materials. The funds were approved to help finance capital expenditures related to the provision of services to the community that is strained by new development. At that time, the Mayor and Common Council requested that staff research similar fee adjustments for the Verdemont area infrastructure fee and the storm drain impact fee. While work on the Verdemont infrastructure fee continues, the storm drain fee study is now complete and ready for consideration. jThe City's existing storm drainage network is composed of street gutter facilities, pipes and inlets which convey runoff to larger pipelines, creeks and ditches located throughout the city, ultimately leading to the Santa Ana River. The City has charged an impact fee for storm drainage systems for some time, but that fee has not been updated for over 15 ears. p Y A consultant was retained to generate a development impact fee calculation for the storm drainage system for the city. Attachments were previously distributed in the agenda materials for the December 4`"meeting, including: Attachment A -Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report and Master Facilities Plan for the Storm Drainage System for the City of San Bernardino (Nexus Report). Attachment B— Storm Drain Fee Comparison for Eight Typical Projects Attachment C - Storm Drain Comparison City Survey Attachment D—Impact Fee Comparison for Inland Empire Cities The Nexus Report provides the basis for the fee imposed on new construction by analyzing the Master Facility Plan for storm drainage facilities. In the Master Facilities Plan, Development Services/Engineering staff has identified 136 storm drainage projects recommended to fully complete the City's network, which are estimated to cost approximately $349 million. Upon the identification of the costs of storm drainage facilities that are necessitated by future development, costs must be distributed for each of the land uses based on their estimated storm runoff. Detached dwellings provide the highest percentage of turf per parcel and result in the least amount of runoff. Commercial and industrial developments, which generally have little turf area, generate a higher amount of runoff. These varying amounts are referred to as runoff coefficients. The report assigns costs on a fair-share basis to the various types of development. It also assigns the resulting fee per dwelling unit and per square foot for commercial/industrial construction, based on the anticipated burden of such new development area on City facilities and infrastructure. The fees recommended by the consultant are found in Schedule 10.4, on page 131 of the Nexus Report. The report recommends that Commercial Lodging and Commercial/Office be considered as separate land uses. However, engineering staff believes that it will be more equitable to charge Commercial Lodging at the Commercial/Office rate, based on square footage of floor area rather than on a per unit basis. The proposed fee resolution reflects staff recommendations. Consistent with other recently established fees, the attached resolution allows development projects for which an application for a tentative map was deemed complete prior to July 18, 2005 to be subject to the fees that were in effect prior to the adoption of this resolution. In addition, development projects that have received all required entitlement approvals and have pre-paid the applicable fees prior to the effective date of this resolution shall be subject to the fees in effect prior to this resolution. Proper notification was given to the public and the BIA for a public hearing that was held on January 8th. At that time, the Mayor and Common Council laid over the ordinance to establish a storm drain development impact fee. The newly adopted fees will become effective 60 days after the adoption of the fee resolution. Financial Impact The adoption of revised storm drain fees would generate approximately $116 million in revenue for storm drain construction through General Plan build out. The City currently collects $600,000 to $800,000 per year in storm drainage impact fees. Engineering staff estimates that the new fee schedule will generate an additional $1 - $1.7 million annually, depending upon the level of development activity. As with other development impact fee revenues, they may only be used to fund storm drainage projects identified in the Master Facilities Plan. Recommendation: Adopt resolution. K 1 RESOLUTION NO.
