301 - Park Impact
Fund Description
Park Development Impact Fund revenues are received from developers of properties. The funds may only be used for
the design, development and construction of new parks within the City. Fund is subject to the restrictions of AB1600.
How this Fund Generates Money for Capital Investment
New development creates the need for expanded inventory of parks facilities. Impact fee revenues are intended for
the capital investment into new parks. The City imposes parks impact fees under authority granted by the Mitigation
Fee Act (the Act), contained in California Government Code Sections 66000 et seq. A City Council adopted "Impact Fee
Report" provides the necessary findings required by the Act for adoption of the fees presented in the impact fee
schedules.
Limitations and Other Important Factors
All development impact fee-funded capital projects are programmed through the City's 6-Year CIP, by which the City
identifies and directs its fee revenue to new public facilities/infrastructure projects that will accommodate future
growth. By programming fee revenues to specific capital projects, the City ensures a reasonable relationship between
new development and the use of fee revenues as required by the Act. As residents are considered to be the primary
users of parks, demand for parks and associated facilities is based on the City's residential population, rather than a
combined resident-worker service population.
Goals for Capital Investment
The goal is to expand park facilities to meet the demands of a growing community. Prior to capital investment, a
citywide assessment of potential park impact projects and an evaluation of trail needs vs. park needs will be reviewed
and a prioritization plan will be established.
