Recreation and Park District Jeff Carter; John Jeffery Carter Law Office From: Tim Youmans, Sharma Wasserman, and Rosanne Helms Subject: Inflation of Park Facilities Fee; EPS #12607 Date: June 15, 2004 BACKGROUND On May 23, 1989 Butte County adopted Ordinance Number 2750 (the ordinance), which authorized the implementation of a park development and land acquisition fee to be charged against new development within the unincorporated area of the Chico Urbanized Area (called the Park Facilities Fee throughout this memo). On September 18, 1990 the ordinance was amended. to include nexus findings and a Park Facilities Fee of $1,189 per unit was adopted. The cost estimates used as the basis of the fee are shown below: Cost Item Cost Per Acre (1989$) Land Cost -Unimproved $46,000 Public Off-Site Im rovements _ $20,300 Park Facili Im rovement Costs $37,500 Total Park Facilities Costs $103,800 COST ESCALATION REQUIREMENTS The ordinance allows for increases to the park development portion of the fee based on Engineering News Record annual cost increases for construction using the San. Francisco index. The land acquisition component must be escalated based on a different, unspecified methodology. Since the ordinance was opted, the County has not escalated the Parks Facilities Fee as allowed for in the ordinance.

Exhibit A hlflafwn of Park Facilities Fee dune 15, 2004 Page 2 CALCULATION OF FEE INCREASES EPS was asked to calculate the increase in the Park Facilities F'ee based on park development and land acquisition cost increaseso PARK DEVELOPMENT COST INCREASES In order to inflate the park development component of the fee for each year, EPS used the Engineering News Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index for San Francisco for March of each year. The percent change in the March. to March Construction Cost Index was calculated for each year, and then the corresponding park development component of the fee for that Fiscal Year was inflated accordingly. LAND ACQUISTION COST INCREASES The land acquisition component of the fee increase was escalated by applying the average annual growth in new home sales in the Chico area. On average, new home prices have increased by 4 percent annually since 1989? Real estate professionals in the Chico area have indicated that land values have generally increased at the same rate. ESTIMATED FEE REVISIONS BASED ON COST INCREASE Table 1 shows the increase in the park development and land acquisition components of the Park Facilities Fee based on the two methodologies described above. The current fee of $1,189 increases to $1,880 for the 2004-05 Fiscal year. Comparison to Chico City Council. Adopted Fee The calculated fee amount for the unincorporated portion of the Chico Urbanized Area is lower than the fee adopted by the Chico City Council for the incorporated portion of the Chico Urbanized area. The Chico City Council adopted a fee of $2,064 per single family unit in December 2003. 1 Information from Data Quick, a data source EPS subscribes to. ]:607 fcc inflatiai rncmu.dor d LL N m Y U ~o LL Y R ~ n. c .L~o N ~ A ~ Q C ~ - G1 ~ N y d C LL l4 C ~ ~ ~ •V O _V LL ~ ~ ~ ~ U ~ v ~ ~ ~ +' O m m o c ` Q.
