CITY OF SAN BERHRDINO - REQUEST r lR COUNCIL ACTION
AMENDMENT TO THE SAN BERNARDINO
MUNICIPLE CODE, SECTION 15.56.070-
PARK CONSTRUCTION FEES.
STAFF REPORT
Historically, park construction fees for mobile homes have been collected in a very
minimal amount. Currently, the fees are one-half of one percent of the cost of
construction on a mobile home lot as determined by a building permit. As an example,
if a lot was constructed for $5,000, the fee would amount to $25. This amount does
not even cover the administrative costs for collecting the fee. There is no fee
on the mobile home when it is moved on to the lot and set up.
It is recommended that the Park Construction Fee for construction of mobile home
lots be changed to one percent of the cost of improvements or $650, whichever sum
is greater, as determined by the building permit.
Currently, the mobile home developers and dwellers are not paying their fair share
of costs for parks and recreation facilities. The average single family residential
construction currently has a fee ranging from $700-$1,000 per unit. The fees are
based on one percent of the cost for improvements for each residential dwelling
unit or each unit in a multiple dwelling construction. These families in mobile
homes have potentially the same impact on use of parks and recreation facilities
as families dwelling in single family residences or apartment houses. Therefore,
it is reasonable to expect mobile home developers and dwellers to pay their fair
share of park construction fees as well.
These changes in the Park Construction Fee schedule will provide a more equitable
spread of fees to all types of residential development. Therefore, it is recommended
that this ordinance change be approved.

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE FOR PARK DEVELOPMENT FEES.

-------------------------------------------------------------
City Municipal Code 15.56 establishes the collecting of City
Park Development fees. This fee is one which is collected at
the time of issuance of a building permit. The rate is set
to cover acquisition, development and rehabilitation of
existing parks to accommodate all citizens of the City, and
in particular, the new citizens who will occupy the new
residential dwelling units for which the building permit is
issued. Collection of fees on new residential developments
provides an equitable and fair method for spreading the costs
of new and expanded or rehabilitated existing facilities to
the new residents rather than the costs being placed totally
on existing residents.
The City has the authority to apply these fees under the
basic rights to regulate growth and development. The City
General Plan, section 9, deals with Parks and Recreation
standards and the collection of fees for the acquisition and
development of parks and recreation facilities.
A survey of local area cities was conducted in
to determine fees for construction of mobile

city of San Bernardino Municipal Code 15.56 currently
provides for a very minimal fee for construction of mobile
home lots (1/2 of one percent of the building permit
valuation). In most cases this amounts to approximately $25
which does not even cover the costs for. processing the
paperwork. This amount is not fair and equitable when
compared to the fees levied on other residential
development. For instance, the average single family
residential construction currently has a fee ranging from
$700-1,000 per unit. The fees are based on one percent of
the cost for improvements for each residential dwelling unit
or each unit of a multiple dwelling construction.
The impact of families living in mobile homes is just the
same as those living in single family and multi-family
dwellings. Therefore, this department is requesting an
amendment to Municipal Code 15.56.040 (A) (3) regarding
mobile home lots construction to make fees more in line with
other residential development fees and to be comparable to
fees collected by surrounding cities for the same type of
residential construction. (Please see attached recommended
Ordinance change.)
