A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, ESTABLISHING A FIRE PROTECTION FACILITIES
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE
WHEREAS, on December 13, 2018, the Citizen's Financial Advisory Committee
published their final report detailing its recommendations to the City Council for cost
containment and/or revenue enhancements; and
WHEREAS, the Citizen's Financial Advisory Committee concluded at that time in
their study that the City needed to expand its locally -controlled revenues to address
concerns such as devastating effects of wildfire; and
WHEREAS, in a study conducted by FM3 Research, Arcadia residents identified
amongst other public safety priorities that maintaining local fire and police protection
and paramedic services were important; and
WHEREAS, moderate growth in the City of Arcadia will increase the demand for
public services and the public facilities required to deliver those services; and
WHEREAS, the implementation of a Fire Protection Facilities Development
Impact Fee will ease the financial burden resulting from the increased costs of services
and demands from new development; and
WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing was held by the City Council concerning
the proposed adoption of the Fire Protection Facilities Development Impact Fee on this
Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, DOES FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1.
A. The fees established herein shall be imposed on new developments in the
City (except for remodels or demolitions of residential units where a
resident would only be charged for the new net livable square footage).
The primary policy objective of the Fire Protection Facilities Development
Impact Fee is to ensure that new development pays the capital and
infrastructure costs associated with this growth.
B. The initial or preliminary planned facilities to be funded by this newly
established impact fee are identified in the fee study. Future facilities to
serve growth will be identified through the City's annual Capital
Improvement and/or Equipment Acquisition Budget plan and process
and/or completion of a new facility master plan.
SECTION 2. The proposed new Fire Protection Facilities Development
Impact Fee would be $0.35 per square foot for residential dwelling units. For non-
residential units, commercial units would be $1.91 per square foot, office units
would be $2.92 per square foot, and industrial units $1.04 per square foot. The
resulting fees for the different land uses are listed in Exhibit A and are hereby
adopted.
SECTION 3. Based on the foregoing, the City Council hereby finds this
Resolution is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act as specified in section 15378 (b)(4) of the California Code of Regulations.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
