the Califomia Mitigation Fee Act, to propose Park Facilities Impact Fees
that ensure new development pays its fair share of costs associated with
building new park facilities and infrastructure; and

cost per capita to a fee per square foot of development based on dwelling
unit densities and the historical averages for the size of existing single
1
family and multi-family residences, which have contributed to the existing
level of service for parks; and
WHEREAS, the fee includes the cun•ent cost to acquire and develop the
land as well as charges associated with the implementation and
administration of the Park Facilities Impact Fees; and
WHEREAS, the City Council may establish by resolution Park
Facilities Impact Fees based on the recommended amounts of $2.85 per
square foot for single family projects and $3.73 per square foot for multi-

correspond to current costs; and
WHEREAS, for home remodels or demolitions, a residence will only
be charged for the new net livable square footage; and
