EXHIBIT A
BASIS FOR PARK FACILITY FEE
Assum tions (Based on the Park and Recreation Plan ("Plan") of
the Chico Area Recreation and Park District):
- 3.5 acres of improved park land per 1,000 people {.9 acres
for neighborhood park facilities and 2.6 acres for community
park facilities, including 1 acre for creekside greenways,
trail systems and other lineal park facilities}. See Plan,
particularly at pages IV-33, 34, 35, 4I and 42 and VI-7, 8
and 25, The Flan assumes an average width of existing
lineal parks at 50 feet, states that trails should be wide
enough to accommodate a maintenance truck and refers to the
desirable width of multipurpose paved trails as 12 feet and
unpaved nature trails as 4 feet, Based upon a goal of 0.5
miles {2,640 feet) of lineal parks per 1,000 population
(Plan page IV-42) at a conservative width of 16.5 feet, it
would be necessary to acquire 1 acre per 1,000 new residents
for lineal park facilities ( 2,640 feet x 16.5 feet = 43,550
square feet = 1 acre.}
- $90,000 is the cost to acquire and improve an acre of
park land. Plan page VII-2.
Census Information:
~- 2.29 people per residential unit according to the 1980
k'ederal Census.
Calculation: Improved Acreage
$90,000/acre times 3.5 acres/1,000 people = $315,000
1,000 people divided by 2.29 people/unit = 436.68 units
$315,000 divided by 436.68 units = $722/unit
