the State. The grant has a three-year funding cycle, with the third year being January 1, 2017, to
December 31, 2017.
Financial Impact:
A City match amount of $68,046 is required and has been included in the police department’s
personnel budget under the General Fund, Account Number 10070203. The total project cost for
the 2017 calendar year is $272,183 with the grant award offsetting $204,137 in new revenue. A
new grant fund will be established upon approval by City Council. No additional appropriation of
funds is necessary.
Recommended Action:
A) Accept the grant between the State of California, Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal
OES) and the City of Huntington Beach; and,
B) Approve the appropriation and expenditure of $272,183 of which $204,137 is to be fully

match. The majority of the grant will pay for the services of two Victim Advocates. The Victim
Advocates are contracted through the Community Service Programs, Inc. and Interval House. The
remaining funds will pay for two part-time domestic violence investigators.
This collaboration has been in effect since 1998. Since the inception of the Violence Against
Women Project, the advocates have been continuously funded through a series of grants. The goal
of the program is to help heal families and stop the cycle of violence. Without this grant, the Police
Department would not be able to offer the services of victim advocates to victims of domestic
violence. The advocates work closely with a police department investigator to form a cohesive
team to assist victims.
The acceptance of the grant will pay for the collaboration involving the Police Department through
December 31, 2017. The cash match of $68,046 is located within the existing department budget.
In addition, the agreement with Interval House offers priority shelter for domestic violence victims
and their children from Huntington Beach on a 24 hour basis. The two part-time investigators assist
a full-time detective, allowing the police department to investigate domestic violence incidents in a
timely manner, resulting in improved services to victims.

Dept. ID AD-17-012 Page 2 of 4
Meeting Date: 4/3/2017
Analysis:
On Wednesday, March 22, 2017, the Intergovernmental Relations Committee met to discuss
pending Federal and State legislation. The City’s Federal Representative from Townsend Public
Affairs (TPA) provided the Committee with an update on the President’s proposed budget. The
Committee also reviewed the 2017 State Legislative Matrix provided by the City’s State Advocate,
TPA. The Committee members chose to take the following positions on pending legislation.
Support – Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development (T-HUD) Bill
Under the preliminary budget, both the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and
HOME Investment Partnerships programs would be eliminated. Additionally, funding for
transportation programs like TIGER are slated for reductions. State and local governments
and the communities they serve rely on the resources provided by the Housing and Urban
Development Department and the Department of Transportation. These infrastructure
needs – for transportation, community development, and accessible affordable housing –
exist in the City.
Support – AB 572 (Quirk-Silva) – Alcoholism or Drug Treatment Facilities Orange
County
This bill would require the State Department of Health Care Services to establish a pilot
program to locate an investigator within a participating county to investigate complaints
against licensed adult alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities within the
county. This bill would require the department to implement the pilot program by executing
a contract with the County of Orange providing that the department will assign an
investigator and the county will reimburse the department for the investigator’s
compensation and benefits. The bill would require the pilot program to be completed no
later than December 31, 2019. Currently there is limited State staff to investigate
complaints and this would assist cities that have limited staffing and who have seen an
influx of these treatment facilities.
Support AB 346 (Daly) Redevelopment Housing Successor Low Moderate Income
Housing Asset Fund
Existing law authorizes the city, county, or city and county that created a former
redevelopment agency to elect to retain the housing assets and functions previously
performed by the former redevelopment agency. Existing law requires the housing
successor to maintain any funds transferred to it, together with any funds generated from
housing assets in a separate Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund to be used in
accordance with applicable housing-related provisions of the Community Redevelopment
law. This bill would authorize a housing successor to use remaining funds in the Low and
Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund for homelessness services, transitional housing or
emergency housing services, as well as for the development of affordable housing.
Support – AB 285 (Melendez) Drug and Alcohol Free Residences
Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of community care facilities by the
State Department of Social Services. This Department also provides for the licensure and
regulation of adult alcoholism and drug abuse recovery and treatment facilities for adults.
This bill would, define a “drug and alcohol free residence” as a residential property that is
operated as a cooperative living arrangement to provide an alcohol and drug free
environment for persons recovering from alcoholism or drug abuse, or both, who seek a
living environment that supports personal recovery. As written, this bill would authorize a
drug and alcohol free residence to demonstrate its commitment to providing a supportive
recovery environment by applying and becoming certified by an approved certifying
organization that is approved by the State Department of Health Care Services.
HB -22-Item 4. - 2
Dept. ID AD-17-012 Page 3 of 4
Meeting Date: 4/3/2017
Oppose – AB 199 (Chu) Public Works: Private Residential Projects
This bill would eliminate the long-standing residential exemption from prevailing wage rates
and thereby make private, market-rate residential development a public works project for
which prevailing wage would be paid.
Oppose – AB 252 (Ridley-Thomas) Local Government Taxation Prohibition Video
Streaming Services
Existing law authorizes counties, cities, and other local agencies to impose various taxes
and fees in connection with activity or property within those jurisdictions. This bill would
prohibit the imposition by a city, city and county, or county, including a chartered city, of a
tax on video streaming services, including but not limited to, any tax on the sale or use of
video streaming services (e.g. Netflix, Hulu, etc.). This bill would enact a technologically
biased tax policy that undermines local voters. AB 252 imposes a discriminatory tax that
disadvantages cable and vide providers. Tax policies should be technology neutral and
applied based on service provided, not the technology used.
Oppose – SB 57 (Stern) Natural Gas Storage Moratorium
This bill would extend the moratorium on natural gas injections at the Aliso Canyon storage
facility until the Root Cause Analysis of the leak that started in October 2015 has been
completed. It would also require the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to
complete its analysis regarding the need for the Aliso Canyon storage facility by the end of
the year. Additionally, the extension of the moratorium would impact the region’s energy
reliability. The CPUC has determined the existing production capacity at Aliso Canyon is
insufficient to meet estimated demand in the coming season.
Oppose – SB 35 (Wiener) Planning and Zoning Affordable Housing Streamlined
Approval Process
The Planning and Zoning Law requires a city or county to adopt a General Plan for land use
development within its boundaries that includes, among other things, a housing element.
This bill would require the planning agency to include it its annual report specified
information regarding units of housing, including rental housing and housing designated for
homeownership, that have completed construction. The bill would also require an
accessory dwelling unit development or a multifamily housing development that satisfies
specified planning objective standards to be subject to a streamlined, ministerial approval
process, as provided, and would not be subject to a conditional use permit. This bill would
limit the authority of a local government to impose parking standards or requirements on a
streamlined development approved pursuant to these provisions.
Oppose – SB 649 (Hueso) Wireless Telecommunication Facilities
Under existing law, a wireless telecommunications collation facility, as specified is subject to
a city or county discretionary permit and is required to comply with specified criteria, but a
collocation facility, which is the placement or installation of wireless facilities, including
antennas and related equipment, on or immediately adjacent to that wireless
telecommunications collocation facility, is a permitted use not subject to a city or county
discretionary permit. This bill would define the term “small cell” as a particular type of
telecommunications facility for these purposes which would take away the rights of the city
to issue discretionary permits.
The Intergovernmental Relations Committee, comprised of Mayor Delgleize and Council Member
Jill Hardy (Mayor Pro Temp Posey was absent), approved a support position on the T-HUD Bill, AB
572, AB 346, AB 285 and an oppose position on AB 199, AB 252, SB 35, SB 57, SB 649.

relating to local government.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 346, as introduced, Daly. Redevelopment: housing successor:
Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund.
Existing law dissolved redevelopment agencies and community
development agencies as of February 1, 2012, and provides for the
designation of successor agencies to wind down the affairs of the
dissolved redevelopment agencies and to, among other things, make
payments due for enforceable obligations and to perform duties required

a former redevelopment agency to elect to retain the housing assets and
functions previously performed by the former redevelopment agency.
Existing law requires the housing successor to maintain any funds
transferred to it, together with any funds generated from housing assets

homelessness services, transitional housing, or emergency housing
services, as well as for the development of affordable housing.
This bill would also make nonsubstantive changes to that provision.

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 285
Introduced by Assembly Member Melendez
February 2, 2017
An act to add Section 11834.19 to the Health and Safety Code,
relating to residential facilities.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 285, as introduced, Melendez. Drug and alcohol free residences.
Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of community
care facilities by the State Department of Social Services. Existing law
also provides for the licensure and regulation by the State Department
of Health Care Services of adult alcoholism and drug abuse recovery
and treatment facilities for adults.
This bill would, among other things, define a “drug and alcohol free
residence” as a residential property that is operated as a cooperative
living arrangement to provide an alcohol and drug free environment
for persons recovering from alcoholism or drug abuse, or both, who
seek a living environment that supports personal recovery. The bill
would authorize a drug and alcohol free residence to demonstrate its
commitment to providing a supportive recovery environment by
applying and becoming certified by an approved certifying organization
that is approved by the State Department of Health Care Services. The
bill would provide that a residence housing persons who are committed
to recovering from drug or alcohol addiction is presumed to be a drug
and alcohol free residence if the residence has been certified by an
approved certifying organization. The bill would require an approved
certifying organization to, among other things, maintain an affiliation
with a national organization recognized by the department, establish
99
HB -37-Item 4. - 17
procedures to administer the application, certification, renewal, and
disciplinary processes for a drug and alcohol free residence, and
investigate and enforce violations by a residence of the organization’s
code of conduct, as provided. The bill would specify the information
and documentation that an operator who seeks to have a residence
certified is required to submit to an approved certifying organization.
This bill would require an approved certifying organization to maintain
and post on its Internet Web site a registry containing specified
information of a residence that has been certified pursuant to these
provisions, and would require the department to maintain and post on
its Internet Web site a registry that contains specified information
regarding each residence and operator that has had its certification
revoked. The bill would deem the activities of a certified drug and
alcohol free residence a residential use of property under specified
circumstances.
This bill would require, on and after January 1, 2020, a state agency,
state-contracted vendor, county agency, or county-contracted vendor
that directs substance abuse treatment, or a judge or parole board that
sets terms and conditions for the release, parole, or discharge of a person
from custody, if it requires that person to reside in a sober living
environment, to only refer that person to a residence listed as a certified
drug and alcohol free residence on a registry posted by an approved
certifying organization.

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 199
Introduced by Assembly Member Chu
January 23, 2017
An act to amend Section 1720 of the Labor Code, relating to public
works.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 199, as introduced, Chu. Public works: private residential projects.
(1) Existing law requires private residential projects built on private
property that are built pursuant to an agreement with a state agency,
redevelopment agency, or local public housing authority to meet the
requirements for projects that are defined as “public works,” including,
among other requirements, the payment of prevailing wages. Existing
law defines the term “political subdivision” for the purposes of these
requirements to include any county, city, district, public housing
authority, public agency of the state, and assessment or improvement
districts. Existing law makes a willful violation of specific laws relating
to the payment of prevailing wages and the hours worked on public
works projects a misdemeanor.
This bill would instead require private residential projects built on
private property that are built pursuant to an agreement with the state
or a political subdivision to meet the requirements for projects that are
defined as “public works,” thus expanding the types of projects that
must meet these requirements. By expanding the definition of a crime,
this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
(2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
99

SENATE BILL No. 35
Introduced by Senator Wiener
(Principal coauthors: Senators Allen and coauthor: Senator Atkins)
(Coauthor: Senator Allen)
December 5, 2016
An act to amend Sections 65400 and 65582.1 of, and to add Section
65913.4 to, the Government Code, relating to housing.
legislative counsel’s digest
SB 35, as amended, Wiener. Planning and zoning: affordable housing:
streamlined approval process.
(1) The Planning and Zoning Law requires a city or county to adopt
a general plan for land use development within its boundaries that
includes, among other things, a housing element. The Planning and
Zoning Law requires a planning agency, after a legislative body has
adopted all or part of a general plan, to provide an annual report to the
legislative body, the Office of Planning and Research, and the
Department of Housing and Community Development on the status of
the general plan and progress in meeting the community’s share of
regional housing needs.
This bill would require the planning agency to include in its annual
report specified information regarding units of housing housing,
including rental housing and housing designated for homeownership,
that have completed construction. The bill would also require the
Department of Housing and Community Development to post an annual
96
HB -61-Item 4. - 41
report submitted pursuant to the requirement described above on its
Internet Web site, as provided.
(2) Existing law requires an attached housing development to be a
permitted use, not subject to a conditional use permit, on any parcel
zoned for multifamily housing if at least certain percentages of the units
are available at affordable housing costs to very low income, lower
income, and moderate-income households for at least 30 years and if
the project meets specified conditions relating to location and being
subject to a discretionary decision other than a conditional use permit.
Existing law provides for various incentives intended to facilitate and
expedite the construction of affordable housing.
This bill would require an accessory dwelling unit development or a
multifamily housing development that satisfies specified planning
objective standards to be subject to a streamlined, ministerial approval
process, as provided, and to not be subject to a conditional use permit.
The bill would limit the authority of a local government to impose
parking standards or requirements on a streamlined development
approved pursuant to these provisions, as provided. The bill would
provide that if a local government approves a project pursuant to that
process, that approval will not expire if that project includes investment
in housing affordability, and would otherwise provide that the approval
of a project expire automatically after 3 years, unless that project
qualifies for a one-time, one-year extension of that approval.
(3) The bill would make findings that ensuring access to affordable
housing is a matter of statewide concern and declare that its provisions
would apply to all cities and counties, including a charter city, a charter
county, or a charter city and county.
(4) By imposing new duties upon local agencies with respect to the
streamlined approval process and reporting requirement described
above, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
(5) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act
for a specified reason.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.

line 17 designated for homeownership that satisfy each income category.
line 18 (E) The Department of Housing and Community Development
line 19 shall post a report submitted pursuant to this paragraph on its
line 20 Internet Web site within a reasonable time of receiving the report.
line 21 (b) If a court finds, upon a motion to that effect, that a city,

line 27 judgment compelling compliance with this section within 60 days.
line 28 If the city, county, or city and county fails to comply with the
line 29 court’s order within 60 days, the plaintiff or petitioner may move
line 30 for sanctions, and the court may, upon that motion, grant
line 31 appropriate sanctions. The court shall retain jurisdiction to ensure
line 32 that its order or judgment is carried out. If the court determines
line 33 that its order or judgment is not carried out within 60 days, the
line 34 court may issue further orders as provided by law to ensure that
line 35 the purposes and policies of this section are fulfilled. This
line 36 subdivision applies to proceedings initiated on or after the first
line 37 day of October following the adoption of forms and definitions by

line 6 (commencing with Section 1720) of Part 7 of Division 2 of the
line 7 Labor Code.
line 8 (B) If the project is not a public work, that all construction
line 9 workers employed in the execution of the project will be paid at
line 10 least the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for the type of
line 11 work and geographic area, as determined by the Director of
line 12 Industrial Relations pursuant to Sections 1773 and 1773.9 of the
line 13 Labor Code. If the development is subject to this subparagraph,
line 14 then all of the following shall apply:
line 15 (i) The development proponent shall ensure that the prevailing
line 16 wage requirement is included in all contracts for the performance
line 17 of the work.
line 18 (ii) Contractors and subcontractors shall pay to all construction
line 19 workers employed in the execution of the work at least the general
line 20 prevailing rate of per diem wages.
line 21 (iii) Except as provided in clause (iv), the obligation of the
line 22 contractors and subcontractors to pay prevailing wages may be
line 23 enforced by the Labor Commissioner through the issuance of a
line 24 civil wage and penalty assessment pursuant to Section 1741 of the
line 25 Labor Code, which may be reviewed pursuant to Section 1742 of
line 26 the Labor Code, within 18 months after the completion of the
line 27 project, or by an underpaid worker through an administrative
line 28 complaint or civil action. If a civil wage and penalty assessment
line 29 is issued, the contractor, subcontractor, and surety on a bond or
line 30 bonds issued to secure the payment of wages covered by the
line 31 assessment shall be liable for liquidated damages pursuant to
line 32 Section 1742.1 of the Labor Code.
line 33 (iv) Clause (iii) shall not apply if all contractors and
line 34 subcontractors performing work on the project are subject to a
line 35 project labor agreement that requires the payment of prevailing
line 36 wages to all construction workers employed in the execution of
line 37 the project and provides for enforcement of that obligation through
line 38 an arbitration procedure. For purposes of this clause, “project labor
line 39 agreement” has the same meaning as set forth in paragraph (1) of
line 40 subdivision (b) of Section 2500 of the Public Contract Code.

SENATE BILL No. 649
Introduced by Senator Hueso
(Principal coauthor: Assembly Member Quirk)
(Coauthor: Senator Dodd)
February 17, 2017
An act to amend Sections 65850.6 and 65964 of the Government
Code, relating to telecommunications.
legislative counsel’s digest
SB 649, as introduced, Hueso. Wireless telecommunications facilities.
Under existing law, a wireless telecommunications collocation facility,
as specified, is subject to a city or county discretionary permit and is
required to comply with specified criteria, but a collocation facility,
which is the placement or installation of wireless facilities, including
antennas and related equipment, on or immediately adjacent to that
wireless telecommunications collocation facility, is a permitted use not
subject to a city or county discretionary permit. Existing law defines
various terms for these purposes.
This bill would define the term “small cell” as a particular type of
telecommunications facility for these purposes.
Under existing law, a city or county, as a condition of approval of an
application for a permit for construction or reconstruction of a
development project for a wireless telecommunications facility, may
not require an escrow deposit for removal of a wireless
telecommunications facility or any component thereof, unreasonably
limit the duration of any permit for a wireless telecommunications
facility, or require that all wireless telecommunications facilities be
limited to sites owned by particular parties within the jurisdiction of
the city or county, as specified.
99
HB -73-Item 4. - 53
This bill would apply these prohibitions to the approval of small cell
facilities as defined by this bill.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
line 1 SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares that, to ensure
line 2 that communities across the state have access to the most advanced
line 3 wireless communications technologies and the transformative
line 4 solutions that robust wireless connectivity enables, such as Smart
line 5 Communities and the Internet of Things, California should work
line 6 in coordination with federal, state, and local officials to create a
line 7 statewide framework for the deployment of advanced wireless
line 8 communications infrastructure in California that does all of the
line 9 following:
line 10 (a) Reaffirms local governments’ historic role and authority
line 11 with respect to wireless communications infrastructure siting and
line 12 construction generally.
line 13 (b) Reaffirms that deployment of telecommunications facilities
line 14 in the rights-of-way is a matter of statewide concern, subject to a
line 15 statewide franchise, and that expeditious deployment of
line 16 telecommunications networks generally is a matter of both
line 17 statewide and national concern.
line 18 (c) Recognizes that the impact on local interests from individual
line 19 small wireless facilities will be sufficiently minor and that such
line 20 deployments should be a permitted use statewide and should not
line 21 be subject to discretionary zoning review.
line 22 (d) Requires expiring permits for these facilities to be renewed
line 23 so long as the site maintains compliance with use conditions
line 24 adopted at the time the site was originally approved.
line 25 (e) Requires providers to obtain all applicable building or
line 26 encroachment permits and comply with all related health, safety,
line 27 and objective aesthetic requirements for small wireless facility
line 28 deployments on a ministerial basis.
line 29 (f) Grants providers fair, reasonable, nondiscriminatory, and
line 30 nonexclusive access to locally owned utility poles, street lights,
line 31 and other suitable host infrastructure located within the public
line 32 right-of-way and in other local public places such as stadiums,
line 33 parks, campuses, hospitals, transit stations, and public buildings

line 2 including Public Utilities Commission General Order 95.
line 3 (g) Provides for full recovery by local governments of the costs
line 4 of attaching small wireless facilities to utility poles, street lights,
line 5 and other suitable host infrastructure in a manner that is consistent
line 6 with existing federal and state laws governing utility pole
line 7 attachments generally.
line 8 (h) Permits local governments to charge wireless permit fees
line 9 that are fair, reasonable, nondiscriminatory, and cost based.
line 10 (i) Advances technological and competitive neutrality while not
line 11 adding new requirements on competing providers that do not exist
line 12 today.

PARKLAND ACQUISITION AND PARK FACILITIES
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE ANNUAL REPORT
FISCAL YEAR 2014-15
I. BACKGROUND
On June 18, 2012, the City Council approved the introduction of Ordinance No.
3946 which amended the Huntington Municipal Code by adding Chapter 1716
relating to Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities Development Impact Fees.
The second reading of Ordinance 3946 was approved on July 2, 2012
(Attachment 1).
II. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
State law imposes both annual and five-year reporting requirements as a result
of its collection of Park Impact Fees. The specific elements to be included in the
report include:
• A brief description of the type of fee in the fund account
• The amount of the fee
• The beginning and ending balance
• The amount of fees collected and interest earned
• Identification of each public improvement on which fees are expended
• An identification of the approximate date by which the construction of
public improvements will commence
• A description of each interfund transfer loan made from the fund balance
• The amount of refunds made pursuant to any protests
The annual report is to be made available to the public within 180 days following
the close of the fiscal year. It is also to be reviewed by the City Council no less
than 15 days after the information is made available to the public at its next
regularly scheduled meeting. This year the report is being presented to the City
Council on April 4, 2016.
Fee Description:
Use of Fees
Per HBMC 17.76.090, the funds collected from the Parkland Acquisition and Park
Facilities Development Impact Fee shall be used to fund the "costs of providing
the acquisition, relocation and expansion of parkland and park facilities
development attributable to new residential and nonresidential construction."
Therefore, the expenses included in this report represent all costs associated
with the planning, design, and construction stages of an eligible project, including
staffing and professional design consultant costs.
Specifically, the fees may be used as summarized below.
1
HB -84-Item 5. - 7
1. The acquisition of additional property for the expansion of parkland and
community facilities development;
2. The construction of new parks and park facilities and community use facilities;
3. The funding of a master plan to identify capital facilities to serve new parkland
and park facilities and community use facilities development;
4. The cost of financing;
5. Projects identified in City of Huntington Beach General Plan, the Master Facilities
Plan included in the Nexus Report, City of Huntington Beach Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP), the adopted annual City of Huntington Beach budget, or
City Council approved park acquisition and development projects.
Since the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) generally includes projects and
upgrades to existing facilities of $50,000 or more, all eligible park improvements
may not meet the minimum qualifications required to be included in the City's
CIP. However, projects and improvements less than the $50,000 threshold are
still eligible park expenses as long as they are included in the documents
referenced in Item 5 above or the City's adopted annual budget. Examples of
these types of expenditures include the City's annual park license fees with
Southern California Edison. Since these expenses are included in the City's
budget, they are eligible and included in this report.
Fee Amount:
On June 18, 2012, in conjunction with approval of the new Ordinance 3946,
Resolution 2012-23 was also adopted establishing new and revised development
impact fees for all development within the city. As shown in Exhibit A-3 of
Resolution 2012-23, the fees vary according to land use and were also
implemented on a graduated scale ranging from 30% to 90% of the full fee
amount. Since the reporting period of this report is Oct. 1, 2014 — Sept. 30,
2015, the majority of the fees collected were based on the 90% fees effective
September 2, 2014 and shown below.

Ordinance No. 3946
17.76.010 - Legislative findings.
A. The State of California, through the enactment of Government Code Sections 66001
through 66009 has authorized the City to enact development impact fees.
B. The imposition of development impact fees is a method of ensuring that new
development bears a proportionate share of the cost of capital facilities and other costs
necessary to accommodate such development. These fees are established to promote
and protect the public health, safety and welfare.
C. A well-planned park system, with a variation in the size and nature of facilities offered
is an important amenity to residents of the City. The City considers a mixture of
passive and active park space uses optimal. Future residential development that does
not require subdivision, will impact the City's existing park system by creating
additional park users thus necessitating additional space for athletic fields, community
facilities "tot lots," and other active uses and passive uses as well as passive space for
businesses to enjoy.
D. Funds to pay for the cost of acquisition and development of additional parkland and
development of currently owned but underutilized parkland as well as development of
facilities will be needed to serve the increasing users caused by development in the
City. Without additional parks, parks development and community facilities, the
City's current parks and community facilities will become overcrowded and overused.
E. Pursuant to the "Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report for the City
of Huntington Beach" ("Nexus Report") dated October, 2011, as amended April 27,
2012, which is incorporated herein by reference in these findings as though set forth in
full, the fees established pursuant to this Chapter are derived from, based upon, and do
not exceed the costs of parkland acquisition, park development and community
facilities attributable to applicable new residential or nonresidential development.
This study is based in part upon master planning to more specifically identify capital
facilities to serve new development; the acquisition, relocation and expansion of
parkland and park development and community facilities.
F. The fees collected pursuant to this Chapter shall be used to finance the acquisition,
relocation and expansion of parkland, park development, and community facilities in
furtherance of the City General Plan, as well as identified in the Nexus Report, and the
attached City of Huntington Beach Master Facilities Development Plan, and the City
of Huntington Beach Capital Improvement Plan.
F. A detailed study of the impacts of future residential and nonresidential construction in
the City, along with an analysis of the need for the acquisition, relocation and
expansion of parkland and park facilities development is set forth in the Nexus Report.
G. As set forth in the Nexus Report, there is a reasonable relationship between the need
for the acquisition, relocation and expansion of parkland, park development,
2
12-3200,002/79301
HB -88-Item 5. - 11
Ordinance No. 3946
community facilities, and the impacts of the types of development for which the
corresponding fee is charged. In addition, there is a reasonable relationship between
the fee's use and the type of development to which the fee is charged and a reasonable
relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the facilities or portion
thereof attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.
17.76.020 — Intent and Purpose.
A Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities Development Impact fee is being created for the
purpose of assuring that the impacts created by new development in the City of Huntington
Beach pay a fair share of the proportional costs for the acquisition, relocation and expansion
of parkland, park development and community use facilities and related costs necessary to
accommodate such development. This fee was once identified as a development impact fee in
Resolution 2002-129 created pursuant to Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinance section 230.20.
This Chapter is intended to implement the goals, objectives and policies of the City of
Huntington Beach General Plan, as well as following the recommendations in the Nexus
Report including the Master Facilities Plan and the City of Huntington Beach Capital
Improvement Plan by ensuring that the City's acquisition, relocation and expansion of
parkland and community facilities development are maintained when new development is
constructed within the City limits. By imposing a fee that is reasonably related to the burdens
created by new development on the City's parklands, together with funding available from
other City revenue sources, the City will be able to purchase land and construct the required
capital improvements to accommodate projected growth and fulfill the goals, objectives and
policies of the City's General Plan and Master Facilities Plan a part of the Nexus Report.
It is the intent of the City Council that the fee required by this Chapter shall be supplementary
to any conditions imposed upon a development project pursuant to other provisions of the
Municipal Code, the Subdivision Map Act, the California Environmental Quality Act, other
state and local laws, ordinances or chapter provisions which may authorize the imposition of
conditions on development.
17.76.030 - Definitions. Shall be as set forth in Chapter 17.73 of this Code.
17.76.040 - Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities Development Impact Fee. There is
imposed a Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities Development Impact Fee on all non-
subdivided new residential and nonresidential development.
17.76.050 - Fund established. A Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities Development
Impact Fee fund is established. The Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities Development
Impact Fee fund is a fund to be utilized for payment of the actual or estimated costs of
parkland acquisition and community facilities development as set forth in Chapter 8 of the
Nexus Report which includes the City of Huntington Beach Master Facilities Plan, as well as
the City of Huntington Beach Capital Improvement Plan related to new residential and
nonresidential construction.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
ADOPTING THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE CALCULATION AND NEXUS REPORT
FOR THE CITY OF HUNTING TON PEACH, AND ESTABLISHING NEW AND REVISED
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES FOR ALL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CITY
WHEREAS, several -policies within the City's General Plan require that new development
mitigate its share of the impacts to the natural and built environments and be fiscally neutral so
as to not result inn net economic loss for the City; and
Such General Plan policies include the maintenance of existing quality of life,
maintenance of existing service levels and funding of new facilities, the requirement of new
development to mitigate a fair share of its impact; and calling for the use of impact fees to fund
needed improvements to serve new development, among other policies; and
In accordance with these General Plan policies, the City Council has directed staff in the
past to create development impact fees in accordance with State law. Said impact fees were
codified in Chapter 17.65 and Chapter'17.66 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code as well as
Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Chapter 230.20. Pursuant to each
ordinance set forth above, the amount of the development impact fee is to be set and/or updated
by resolution of the City Council; and
Subsequently, and periodically, staff has conducted comprehensive reviews of the City's
development impact fees to determine whether those fees are adequate to defray the cost of
public facilities related to new development; those fees are set forth in Resolutions 6164, 2006-
23, 2000-97, 2004-88, 99-60 and 96-71; 2002-129,2004-88 and
The City contracted with Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC to provide a updated
comprehensive evaluation of the City's existing development impact fees; and
Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC prepared a report, entitled Development Impact Fee
Calculation and Nexus Report for the City of Huntington Beach, dated October, 2011 as
amended April 27, 2012 (the "Nexus Report"), that provides an evaluation of existing
development impact fees, recommends an increase and change in methodology in certain.
development impact fees, the creation of new impact fees and establishes the nexus between the
imposition of such impact, fees and the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for
which the fees are charged; and
The Nexus Report has been available for public review and comment; and
• The Nexus Report substantiates the need for a modification to existing fees to change
certain methodology as well as creation of new impact fees; and

and other public facilities since the adoption of the respective ordinances and resolutions; and
The City Council desires to repeal certain resolutions, create and update other
development impact fee resolutions in accordance With the calculations and recommendations
contained in the Nexus Report; and
In compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act, California Government Code section 66000
at seq., the City Council held a noticed public hearing on the proposed increase in development
impact fees at its regular meeting on June 18 , 2012, to solicit public input
on the proposed increases to development impact fees,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby
resolve as follows:
1. Findings pursuant to Government Code section 66001. The City Council finds
and determines that the Nexus Report complies with California Government Code section 66001,
and as to each of the proposed fees to be imposed on new development:

(b) Identifies the use to which the fee will be put;
(c) Shows a reasonable relationship between the use of the fee and the type of
development project on which the fee is imposed;
(d) Demonstrates a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities
and the type of development projects on which the fee is imposed; and
(e) Demonstrates a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the
cost of the public facilities or portion of the public facilities 'attributable to the
development on which the fee is imposed.

4. Consistency with General Plan. The City Council finds that the public facilities
equipment and park land acquisition and fee methodology identified in the respective ordinances

OrdinSnce No. 3945
17.67.010 Intent and Purpose. The purpose of this Chapter is to establish a Library
Development Impact Fee upon future Development Projects, an equitable share of the cost of
mitigating future Library Facility needs created by such projects.
A Library Development Impact Fee is being created for the purpose of assuring that the impacts
created by new developments in the City of Huntington Beach pay a fair share of the
proportional costs required for expansion of library facilities and collections.
This Chapter is intended to implement the goals, objectives and policies of the City of
Huntington Beach General Plan, as well as following recommendations in the Master Facilities
Plan, a part of the Nexus Report (as described below), and the City of Huntington Beach Capital
Improvement Plan by ensuring that the City's expansion of library facilities and collections are
maintained when new development is constructed within the City limits. By imposing a fee that
is reasonably related to the burdens created by new development on the City's Library Services,
together with funding available from other City revenue sources, the City will be able to
construct the required capital improvements, accommodate projected growth and fulfill the
goals, objectives and policies of the City's General Plan and Master Facilities Plan a part of the
Nexus Repor6.
It is the intent of the City Council that the fee required by this Chapter shall be supplementary to
any conditions imposed upon a development project pursuant to other provisions of the
Municipal Code, the Subdivision Map Act, the California Environmental Quality Act, other state
and local laws, ordinances or chapter provisions which may authorize the imposition of
conditions on development.
17.67.015 Legislative Findings.
A. The State of California, through the enactment of Government Code Sections 66001
through 66009 has authorized the City to enact development impact fees.
B. The imposition of development impact fees is a method of ensuring that new
development bears a proportionate share of the cost of capital facilities and other costs
necessary to accommodate such development. These fees are established to promote and
protect the public health, safety and welfare.
C. Increase in residential development in the City increases the demand on the amount of
library space and collection items.
D. Pursuant to the "Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report for the City of
Huntington Beach" ("Nexus Report") dated October, 2011, as amended April 27, 2012,
which is incorporated herein by reference in these findings as though set forth in full, the
fees established pursuant to this Chapter are derived from, based upon, and do not exceed
the costs of providing additional library services attributable to applicable new residential
development. This study is based in part upon master planning to more specifically
identify capital facilities to serve new development; the expansion of the amount of
library facilities space and the number of collection items in the systems.

F. A detailed study of the impacts of future residential construction in the City, along with
an analysis of the need for the expansion of library facilities and collections has been
prepared. This study is included in the Nexus Report.

Statement of Issue: In accordance with Section 14.48 of the Huntington Beach
Municipal Code (HBMC), the Public Works Department is required to prepare an
annual report of the status of the Planned Local Drainage Facility Fund
(Drainage Fund) for the City Council. The process provides an opportunity for
the Public Works Commission to review planned projects, revenues and
expenditures under the program.
Funding Source: No funding is required for this action.
Impact on Future Maintenance Costs: Not applicable.
Recommended Action: Motion to recommend to the City Council the approval
of the Planned Local Drainage Facility Fund Compliance Report for Fiscal Year
2014/15.
Alternative Action(s): Recommend revisions to the report.
Analysis: The Planned Local Drainage Facilities Fund (Drainage Fund) is a
development fee that is restricted to use for drainage system enhancements.
Section 14.48.050 (d) requires the City Council to review the status of
compliance with this Chapter, including the revenues collected and the funds
expended. The following information conforms to the requirements of the HBMC
regarding revenues and expenditures of the Drainage Fund. Although the

HB -139-Item 5. - 62
Fiscal Status
The Drainage Fund advanced $250,000 to the Redevelopment Agency for
improvements in 1987. With interest accrual of $603,877, the debt amount is
currently $856,246. As a result, the Fund maintained a negative balance over a
period of ten years until Fiscal Year 12/13, when the fund ended with a positive
balance. In Fiscal Year 2014/15, revenue from developer fees exceeded
expectations and the Drainage Fund ended the year with a positive balance of
$792.870.
On June, 29, 2011, the State of California enacted AB1X26, which dissolves
redevelopment agencies and designates Successor Agencies to "wind-down"
activities of the former redevelopment agencies under supervision of newly
created Oversight Boards. On January, 31, 2012, the City's Redevelopment
Agency presented an initial draft Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule
(ROPS) to the Successor Agency. In this case, the City has elected to become
the Successor Agency. The debt noted above is included in the list of
obligations; however, no payments are scheduled to the Drainage Fund within
the presented time frame.
Revenues
Revenue for FY 2014/15 from development was $487,341 and interest to the fund
was $7,346 for total revenue of $494,777.
Expenditures
No expenditures were made in FY 2014/15. Staff will monitor the fund as
revenue is received and assess the need for future drainage projects.
Conformance with Program Goals and Objectives
The Drainage Fund is intended to implement the goals and objectives of the
current Drainage Master Plan. Funds collected and deposited to the fund may
be expended solely for the construction or reimbursement for construction of
drainage facilities. The Fund is in compliance with these requirements.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
ADOPTING THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE CALCULATION AND NEXUS REPORT
FOR THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH, AND ESTABLISHING NEW AND REVISED
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES FOR ALL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CITY
WHEREAS, several policies within the City's General Plan require that new development
mitigate its share of the impacts to the natural and built environments and be fiscally neutral so
as to not result in a net economic loss for the City; and
Such General Plan policies include the maintenance of existing quality of life,
maintenance of existing service levels and funding of new facilities, the requirement of new
development to mitigate a fair share of its impacts, and calling for the use of impact fees to fund
needed improvements to serve new development, among other policies; and
In accordance with these General Plan policies, the City Council has directed staff in the
past to create development impact fees in accordance with State law. Said impact fees were
codified in Chapter 17.65 and Chapter 17.66 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code as well as
Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Chapter 230.20. Pursuant to each
ordinance set forth above, the amount of the development impact fee is to be set and/or updated
by resolution of the City Council; and
Subsequently, and periodically, staff has conducted comprehensive reviews of the City's
development impact fees to determine whether those fees are adequate to defray the cost of
public facilities related to new development; those fees are set forth in Resolutions 6164, 2006-
23, 2000-97, 2004-88, 99-60 and 96-71; 2002-129, 2004-88 and
The City contracted with Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC to provide a updated
comprehensive evaluation of the City's existing development impact fees; and
Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC prepared a report, entitled Development Impact Fee
Calculation and Nexus Report for the City of Huntington Beach, dated October, 2011 as
amended April 27, 2012 (the "Nexus Report"), that provides an evaluation of existing
development impact fees, recommends an increase and change in methodology in certain
development impact fees, the creation of new impact fees and establishes the nexus between the
imposition of such impact fees and the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for
which the fees are charged; and
The Nexus Report has been available for public review and comment; and
The Nexus Report substantiates the need for a modification to existing fees to change
certain methodology as well as creation of new impact fees; and
1
12-3209.006/79289
HB -149-Item 5. - 72
Resolution No. 2012-23
The City has collected development impact fees to mitigate the impacts of new
development, including fees for transportation, park land acquisition and development, library
and other public facilities since the adoption of the respective ordinances and resolutions; and
The City Council desires to repeal certain resolutions, create and update other
development impact fee resolutions in accordance with the calculations and recommendations
contained in the Nexus Report; and
In compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act, California Government Code section 66000
et seq., the City Council held a noticed public hearing on the proposed increase in development
impact fees at its regular meeting on June 18 , 2012, to solicit public input
on the proposed increases to development impact fees,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby
resolve as follows:
1. Findings pursuant to Government Code section 66001. The City Council finds
and determines that the Nexus Report complies with California Government Code section 66001,
and as to each of the proposed fees to be imposed on new development:
Identifies the purpose of the fee;
Identifies the use to which the fee will be put;
Shows a reasonable relationship between the use of the fee and the type of
development project on which the fee is imposed;
(d) Demonstrates a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities
and the type of development projects on which the fee is imposed; and
(e) Demonstrates a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the
cost of the public facilities or portion of the public facilities attributable to the
development on which the fee is imposed.
2. Fees for Uses Consistent with the Nexus Report. The City Council hereby
determines that the fees imposed, pursuant to this resolution shall be used solely to finance the
public facilities and/or equipment and park land acquisition described or identified in the
respective ordinances and Nexus Report.
3. Approval of Items in the Nexus Report. The City Council has considered the
specific public facilities, equipment and park land acquisition cost estimates identified in the
Nexus Report and each ordinance thereto and hereby approves such public facilities, equipment
and park land acquisition cost and cost estimates and further finds that the cost estimates serve as
a reasonable basis for calculating and imposing the development impact fees as set forth in the
Nexus Report.

HB -150-Item 5. - 73
Resolution No. 2012-23
4. Consistency with General Plan. The City Council finds that the public facilities
equipment and park land acquisition and fee methodology identified in the respective ordinances
and Nexus Report are consistent with the City's General Plan and, in particular, those policies
that require new development to mitigate its share of the impacts to City infrastructure and to be
fiscally neutral.
5. Differentiation among Public Facilities. The City Council fmds that the public
facilities identified in the Nexus Report and funded through the collection of development
impact fees recommended in the Nexus Report are separate and distinct from those public
facilities funded through other fees presently imposed and collected by the City. To the extent
that other fees imposed and collected by the City, including Specific Plan fees are used to fund
the construction of the same public facilities identified in the respective ordinances and Nexus
Report, then such other fees shall be a credit against the applicable development impact fees.
Notwithstanding the above provision, this resolution shall not be deemed to affect the imposition
or collection of the water and sewer connection fees authorized by the Huntington Beach
Municipal Code.
6. CEQA Finding. The adoption of the Nexus Report and the increase in
development impact fees are not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act in that
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, section 15378(b) (4), the creation of government funding
mechanisms which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may cause a
significant effect on the environment, is not defined as a "project" under CEQA.
7. Adoption of Report. The Nexus Report as amended April 27, 2012, including
Appendices, is hereby adopted.
8. Fee Imposed. The new Development Impact Fees set by this resolution shall not
apply to projects that have received discretionary project entitlement approval on or before June
5, 2012 and the following milestones are met:
1. Project applicant has submitted an approved application for building permits
within 180 days after the fee going into effect or no later than February 18, 2013.
2. From the time of initial building permit application, the project makes continued
progress toward satisfying plan check comments.
3. Building Permits are issued within 360 days after the fees go into effect.
An exception to the above milestones is the involvement of an outside third party
regulatory agency. In such cases the 180 days to make building permit application will begin
when the developer receives clearance from that agency. The City Manager shall have the
authority, in his/her sole discretion, to extend milestone dates for qualifying "grandfathered"
projects. All other projects are subject to the fees then in effect. All existing Development
Impact Fees remain in effect until final action is taken on this resolution and respective
ordinances. In the event any portion of this resolution is held invalid, the previously approved
development impact fee shall automatically apply.
9. Timing of Fee. The development impact fees imposed by this resolution shall be
paid pursuant to the ordinances or resolution creating each separate fee. Until final action is
3

HB -151-Item 5. - 74
Resolution No. 2012-23
taken by City Council adopting the ordinances or resolution referenced herein, resolutions 6164,
2006-23, 2000-97, 99-60, 2004-88 and 96-71 shall remain in effect.
10. Amount of Fee. The City Council hereby approves and adopts the Development
Impact Fees as set forth in Exhibit "A," attached hereto and incorporated herein as well as Nexus
Report Schedules 3.2, 4.3, 5.2, 6.2, 7.1, 8.1, and 8.4. Exhibit A and the Nexus Report sets forth
the methodology and aggregate amount imposed as a development impact fee for both residential
and nonresidential land uses and also sets forth the breakdown of each development impact fee
by type of facility.
The amount of the development impact fees excluding traffic impact fees shall be
automatically modified annually pursuant to the the percentage of increase or decrease in the Los
Angeles-Anaheim-Riverside All Urban Consumer Price Index (CPI) or any relevant successor
for the Orange County area, from March to March of the preceding twelve (12) months.
Traffic impact fees shall be increased using the Engineering News Record's
construction cost index as reported for the twelve month period ending in March of each year.
The escalator indices provided herein shall not take effect until March of 2016.
11. Use of fee. The development impact fees shall be solely used for the purposes
described in the respective ordinances creating the fees and the Nexus Report.
Fees collected pursuant to existing ordinances and resolutions shall be maintained
and used exclusively for those purposes and accounts for these fees shall remain in effect and
shall be maintained by the City Manager or his/her designee. Fees collected under any of the
categories listed in the Nexus Report may be used to finance the construction or implementation
of any public facility listed in those categories to the extent that use of the fees may not exceed
the percentage allocated to new development of all of the public facilities listed in the category,
or sub-category.
12. Fee Determination by Type of Use.
A. Residential Development. Development impact fees for residential
development shall be based upon the type of unit constructed. The development impact fee
categories as shown in Exhibit A generally correspond to the City's land use designations in the
land use element of the City's General Plan.
B. Nonresidential Land Uses. Development impact fees for nonresidential
land uses shall be based upon the square footage of the building or other measurement detailed in
the respective development impact fee ordinances. The development impact fee categories as
shown in Exhibit A generally correspond to the City's land use designations in the land use
element of the City's General Plan.
C. Uses Not Specified. In the event that there are land uses not specified in
Exhibit A, the development impact fee for such use shall be determined by the City Manager or
4
12-3209.006/79289
HB -152-Item 5. - 75
Resolution No. 2012-23
his/her designee who shall determine such fee based on an analysis of the impacts of the
proposed use on public facilities, equipment and/or park land.
13. Prior Resolutions Superseded. As provided herein the development impact fees
approved and adopted by this resolution shall supersede and repeal any previously adopted
development impact fee resolutions concerning the same, including 6164, 96-71, 99-60, 2000-97,
2004-88 and 2006-23, 2002-129, 2004-88.
14. Severability. If any action, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this
resolution, the Nexus Report, or other attachments thereto, shall be held invalid or
unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the validity
of the remaining portions of this resolution the Nexus Report, or other attachments thereto or
fees levied by this resolution that can be given effect without the invalid provisions or
application of fees. In the event any section of this resolution is held invalid the previously
adopted affected fees shall be automatically reinstate as if never repealed or modified herein.
15. Effective Date. Consistent with California Government Code section 66017(a),
the fees as identified in attached Exhibit "A" adopted by this resolution shall take effect sixty
(60) days following final action taken on the respective ordinances or amendments thereto by the
City Council.
16. Appeals. Appeals of any fees, including methodology, use, land valuation etc.

Fee Description:
Use of Fees
Per HBMC 17.76.090, the funds collected from the Parkland Acquisition and Park
Facilities Development Impact Fee shall be used to fund the "costs of providing
the acquisition, relocation and expansion of parkland and park facilities
development attributable to new residential and nonresidential construction."
Therefore, the expenses included in this report represent all costs associated
with the planning, design, and construction stages of an eligible project, including
staffing and professional design consultant costs.
Specifically, the fees may be used as summarized below.
1
HB -162-Item 5. - 85
1. The acquisition of additional property for the expansion of parkland and
community facilities development;
2. The construction of new parks and park facilities and community use facilities;
3. The funding of a master plan to identify capital facilities to serve new parkland
and park facilities and community use facilities development;
4. The cost of financing;
5. Projects identified in City of Huntington Beach General Plan, the Master Facilities
irt.--1 th.. Nextls rsity of HLintington Pe'=ch rsapita!
Improvement Plan (CIP), the adopted annual City of Huntington Beach budget, or
City Council approved park acquisition and development projects.
Since the City's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) generally includes projects and
upgrades to existing facilities of $50,000 or more, all eligible park improvements
may not meet the minimum qualifications required to be included in the City's
CIP. However, projects and improvements less than the $50,000 threshold are
still eligible park expenses as long as they are included in the documents
referenced in Item 5 above or the City's adopted annual budget. Examples of
these types of expenditures include the City's annual park license fees with
Southern California Edison. Since these expenses are included in the City's
budget, they are eligible and included in this report.
Fee Amount:
On June 18, 2012, in conjunction with approval of the new Ordinance 3946,
Resolution 2012-23 was also adopted establishing new and revised development
impact fees for all development within the city. As shown in Exhibit A-3 of
Resolution 2012-23, the fees vary according to land use and were also
implemented on a graduated scale ranging from 30% to 90% of the full fee
amount. Since the reporting period of this report is Oct. 1, 2015 — Sept. 30,

HB -165-Item 5. - 88
Ordinance i\hi 3946
Legislative
A. The State of California, through the enactment of Government Code Sections 66001
through 66009 has authorized the (:,ity to enact development inapaet fees.
B. The imposition of development impact fees is a method of ensuring that new
develop t bears a proportionate share of the cost of capital facilities and other costs
necessary to accommodate such development. These fees are established to promote
and protect the public health, safety and welfare.
C. A well-planned park system, with a variation in the size and nature of facilities offered
is an important amenity to residents of the City. The City considers a mixture of
passive and active park space uses optimal. Future residential development that does
not require subdivision, will impact the City's existing park system by creating
additional park users thus necessitating additional space for athletic fields, community
facilities "tot lots," and other active uses and passive uses as well as passive space for
businesses to enjoy.
D. Funds to pay for the cost of acquisition and development of additional parkland and
development of currently owned but underutilized parkland as well as development of
facilities will be needed to serve the increasing users caused by development in the
City. Without additional parks, parks development and community facilities, the
City's current parks and community facilities will become overcrowded and overused.
E. Pursuant to the "Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report for the City
of Huntington Beach" ("Nexus Report") dated October, 2011, as amended April 27,
2012, which is incorporated herein by reference in these findings as though set forth in
full, the fees established pursuant to this Chapter are derived from, based upon, and do
not exceed the costs of parkland acquisition, park development and community
facilities attributable to applicable new residential or nonresidential development.
This study is based in part upon master planning to more specifically identify capital
facilities to serve new development; the acquisition, relocation and expansion of
parkland and park development and community facilities.
F. The fees collected pursuant to this Chapter shall be used to finance the acquisition,
relocation and expansion of parkland, park development, and community facilities in
furtherance of the City General Plan, as well as identified in the Nexus Report, and the
attached City of Huntington Beach Master Facilities Development Plan, and the City
of Huntington Beach Capital Improvement Plan.
F. A detailed study of the impacts of future residential and nonresidential construction in
the City, along with an analysis of the need for the acquisition, relocation and
expansion of parkland and park facilities development is set forth in the Nexus Report.
G. As set forth in the Nexus Report, there is a reasonable relationship between the need
for the acquisition, relocation and expansion of parkland, park development,
2
12-3209,002/79301
HB -166-Item 5. - 89
Ordinance No. 3946
community facilities, and the impacts of the types of development for which the
corresponding fee is charged. In addition, there is a reasonable relationship between
the fee's use and the type of development to which the fee is charged and a reasonable
relationship between 'the who wit of the fee and Inc cost of Inc facilities Or partiori
thereof attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed.
17.76.020 — Intent and Purpose.
A Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities Development Impact fee is being created for the
purpose of assuring that the impacts created by new development in the City of Huntington
Beach pay a fair share of the proportional costs for the acquisition, relocation and expansion
of parkland, park development and community use facilities and related costs necessary to
accommodate such development. This fee was once identified as a development impact fee in
Resolution 2002429 created pursuant to Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision
Ordinance section 230.20.
This Chapter is intended to implement the goals, objectives and policies of the City of
Huntington Beach General Plan, as well as following the recommendations in the Nexus
Report including the Master Facilities Plan and the City of Huntington Beach Capital
Improvement Plan by ensuring that the City's acquisition, relocation and expansion of
parkland and community facilities development are maintained when new development is
constructed within the City limits. By imposing a fee that is reasonably related to the burdens
created by new development on the City's parklands, together with funding available from
other City revenue sources, the City will be able to purchase land and construct the required
capital improvements to accommodate projected growth and fulfill the goals, objectives and
policies of the City's General Plan and Master Facilities Plan a part of the Nexus Report.
It is the intent of the City Council that the fee required by this Chapter shall be supplementary
to any conditions imposed upon a development project pursuant to other provisions of the
Municipal Code, the Subdivision Map Act, the California Environmental Quality Act, other
state and local laws, ordinances or chapter provisions which may authorize the imposition of
conditions on development.
17.76.030 - Definitions. Shall be as set forth in Chapter 17.73 of this Code.
17.76.040 - Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities Development Impact Fee. There is
imposed a Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities Development Impact Fee on all non-
subdivided new residential and nonresidential development.
17.76.050 - Fund established. A Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities Development
Impact Fee fund is established. The Parkland Acquisition and Park Facilities Development
Impact Fee fund is a fund to be utilized for payment of the actual or estimated costs of
parkland acquisition and community facilities development as set forth in Chapter 8 of the
Nexus Report which includes the City, of Huntington Beach Master Facilities Plan, as well as
the City of Huntington Beach Capital Improvement Plan related to new residential and
nonresidential construction.

RESOLUTION NO. 2012-23
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
ADOPTING THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE CALCULATION AND NEXUS REPORT
FOR THE CITY OF HUNTING TON BEACH, AND ESTABLISHING NEW AND REVISED
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES FOR ALL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CITY
WHEREAS, several policies within the City's General Plan require that new development
mitigate its share of the impacts to the natural and built environments and be fiscally neutral so
as to not result in a net economic loss for the City; and
Such General Plan policies include the maintenance of existing quality of life,
maintenance of existing service levels and funding of new facilities, the requirement of new
development to mitigate a fair share of its impacts, and calling for the use of impact fees to fund
needed improvements to serve new development, among other policies; and
In accordance with these General Plan policies, the City Council has directed staff in the
past to create development impact fees in accordance with State law. Said impact fees were
codified in Chapter 17.65 and Chapter 17.66 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code as well as
Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Chapter 230.20. Pursuant to each
ordinance set forth above, the amount of the development impact fee is to be set and/or updated
by resolution of the City Council; and
Subsequently, and periodically, staff has conducted comprehensive reviews of the City's
development impact fees to determine whether those fees are adequate to defray the cost of
public facilities related to new development; those fees are set forth in Resolutions 6164, 2006-
23, 2000-97, 2004-88, 99-60 and 96-71; 2002-129,2004-88 and
The City contracted with Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC to provide a updated
comprehensive evaluation of the City's existing development impact fees; and
Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC prepared a report, entitled Development Impact Fee
Calculation and Nexus Report for the City of Huntington Beach, dated October, 2011 as
amended April 27, 2012 (the "Nexus Report"), that provides an evaluation of existing
development impact fees, recommends an increase and change in methodology in certain
development impact fees, the creation of new impact fees and establishes the nexus between the
imposition of such impact, fees and the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for
which the fees are charged; and
The Nexus Report has been available for public review and comment; and
The Nexus Report substantiates the need for a modification to existing fees to change
certain methodology as well as creation of new impact fees; and
12-3209.006179289
HB -176-Item 5. - 99
Resolution No. 2012-23
The City has collected development impact fees to mitigate the impacts of new
development, including fees for transportation, park land acquisition and development, library
and other public facilities since the adoption of the respective ordinances and resolutions; and
The City Council desires to repeal certain resolutions, create and update other
development impact fee resolutions in accordance with the calculations and recommendations
contained in the Nexus Report; and
In compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act, California Government Code section 66000
et seq., the City Council held a noticed public hearing on the proposed increase in development
impact fees at its regular meeting on June 1.8 , 2012, to solicit public input
on the proposed increases to development impact fees,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby
resolve as follows:
1. Findings pursuant to Government Code section 66001. The City Council finds
and determines that the Nexus Report complies with California Government Code section 66001,
and as to each of the proposed fees to be imposed on new development:
Identifies the purpose of the fee;
Identifies the use to which the fee will be put;
Shows a reasonable relationship between the use of the fee and the type of
development project on which the fee is imposed;
Demonstrates a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities
and the type of development projects on which the fee is imposed; and
(e) Demonstrates a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the
cost of the public facilities or portion of the public facilities attributable to the
development on which the fee is imposed.
2. Fees for Uses Consistent with the Nexus Report. The City Council hereby
determines that the fees imposed, pursuant to this resolution shall be used solely to finance the
public facilities and/or equipment and park land acquisition described or identified in the
respective ordinances and Nexus Report.
3. Approval of Items in the Nexus Report. The City Council has considered the
specific public facilities, equipment and park land acquisition cost estimates identified in the
Nexus Report and each ordinance thereto and hereby approves such public facilities, equipment
and park land acquisition cost and cost estimates and further finds that the cost estimates serve as
a reasonable basis for calculating and imposing the development impact fees as set forth in the
Nexus Report.

12-3209.006/79289
HB -177-Item 5. - 100
Resolution NV 2012-2
4. Consistency with General Plan. The City Council finds that the public facilities
equipment and park land acquisition and fee methodology identified in the respective ordinances
and -Nexus Report are consistent -with the City's General Plan arid, in particular, those policies
that require new development to mitigate its share of the impacts to City infrastructure and to be
fiscally neutral.
5. Differentiation among Public Facilities. The City Council finds that the public
facilities identified in the Nexus Report and funded through the collection of development
impact fees recommended in the Nexus Report are separate and distinct from those public
facilities funded through other fees presently imposed and collected by the City. To the extent
that other fees imposed and collected by the City, including Specific Plan fees are used to fund
the construction of the same public facilities identified in the respective ordinances and Nexus
Report, then such other fees shall be a credit against the applicable development impact fees.
Notwithstanding the above provision, this resolution shall not be deemed to affect the imposition
or collection of the water and sewer connection fees authorized by the Huntington Beach
Municipal Code.
6. CEQA Finding. The adoption of the Nexus Report and the increase in
development impact fees are not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act in that
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, section 15378(b) (4), the creation of government- funding
mechanisms which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may cause a
significant effect on the environment, is not defined as a "project" under CEQA.
7. Adoption of Report. The Nexus Report as amended April 27, 2012, including
Appendices, is hereby adopted.
8. Fee Imposed. The new Development Impact Fees set by this resolution shall not
apply to projects that have received discretionary project entitlement approval on or before June
5, 2012 and the following milestones are met:
1. Project applicant has submitted an approved application for building permits
within 180 days after the fee going into effect or no later than February 18, 2013.
2. From the time of initial building permit application, the project makes continued
progress toward satisfying plan check comments.
3. Building Permits are issued within 360 days after the fees go into effect.
An exception to the above milestones is the involvement of an outside third party
regulatory agency. In such cases the 180 days to make building permit application will begin
when the developer receives clearance from that agency. The City Manager shall have the
authority, in his/her sole discretion, to extend milestone dates for qualifying "grandfathered"
projects. All other projects are subject to the fees then in effect. All existing Development
Impact Fees remain in effect until final action is taken on this resolution and respective
ordinances. In the event any portion of this resolution is held invalid, the previously approved
development impact fee shall automatically apply.

construction cost index as reported for the twelve month period ending in March of each year.
The escalator indices provided herein shall not take effect until March of 2016.

HB -189-Item 5. - 112
Fiscal Status
The Drainage Fund advanced $250,000 to the Redevelopment Agency for
improvements in 1987. With interest accrual of $603,877, the debt amount is
currently $860,484. As a result, the Fund maintained a negative balance over a
period of ten years until FY 12/13, when the fund ended with a positive balance.
In FY 2015/16, revenue from developer fees exceeded expectations and the
Drainage Fund ended the year with a positive balance of $1,418,625.
On June, 29, 2011, the State of California enacted AB1X26, which dissolves
redevelopment agencies and designates Successor Agencies to “wind-down”
activities of the former redevelopment agencies under supervision of newly
created Oversight Boards. On January, 31, 2012, the City’s Redevelopment
Agency presented an initial draft Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule
(ROPS) to the Successor Agency. In this case, the City has elected to become
the Successor Agency. The debt noted above is included in the list of
obligations; however, no payments are scheduled to the Drainage Fund within
the presented time frame.
Revenues
Revenue for FY 2015/16 from development was $615,331 and interest to the fund
was $10,424 for total revenue of $625,755. Budgeted revenue for FY 16/17 is
$356,000, which is based on the 3-year average from FY 12/13 through FY 14/15.
Expenditures
No expenditures were made in FY 2015/16. For FY 16/17 $300,000 has been
budgeted to update the City’s Drainage Master Plan.

CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
PUBLIC WORKS COMMISSION
REQUEST FOR ACTION
Item No. PW 17-07
SUBMITTED TO: Chairman and Members of the Commission
SUBMITTED BY: Travis K. Hopkins, PE, Director of Public Works
DATE: February 15, 2017
SUBJECT: Fair Share Traffic Impact Fee Program Annual Report for Fiscal
Year 2015/16
Statement of Issue: In accordance with Section 17.65.130 of the Huntington
Beach Municipal Code (HBMC), the Public Works Department is required to
prepare an annual report of the status of the Fair Share Traffic Impact Fee
Program for the City Council. The process also provides an opportunity for the
Public Works Commission to review revenues and expenditures under the
program.
Funding Source: No funding is required for the recommended action. All Traffic
Impact Fee funds are maintained in a separate account from other City
operation funds.
Recommended Action: Motion to recommend approval of the 2015/16 Traffic
Impact Fee Annual Report to the City Council.
Alternative Action(s): Recommend revisions to the report elements or request
additional information.
Analysis: The Fair Share Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) program is intended to
implement the goals and objectives of the General Plan by providing revenue
to ensure that the adopted Level of Service standards for arterial roadways and
signalized intersections are maintained when new development is constructed
within the City limits and that these developments pay their fair share towards
short and long term transportation improvements. During the 2011/12 fiscal
year, the City Council approved an update of the Fair Share Traffic Impact Fee
including minor revisions to the Municipal Code and the fee structure.
The following sections comprise the annual report.
HB -196-Item 5. - 119
Fiscal Status
This report presents the fund information based on the City’s preliminary audit for
Fiscal Year 2015/16. The balance for the fund at the beginning of the fiscal year
was $4,040,805. During FY 2015/16, Traffic Impact Fee fund recognized $114,551
in revenues including, $84,900 in Impact Fees Paid and $29,651 in interest and
miscellaneous minor fees.
Expenditures from the fund included $71,712 for Ellis/Main Traffic Channelization
Modifications, $315,936 for Atlanta Avenue Widening and $176,273 for Edinger
Widening for a total of $563,921. The fund balance at the end of the fiscal year
was $3,591,435.
Planned Capital Projects, Studies and Expenditures
The City Council approved Capital Improvement Program (CIP) carry over
funding for Fiscal Year 2016/17 in the amount of $423,484 for the Edinger Avenue
Widening and $98,450 for the Atlanta Avenue Widening. Encumbrance carry
over funds from FY 15/16 totaled $132,185. The revised budgeted expenditures
against the fund total $654,119.
Projected estimate of Fund Balance
For budget purposes, the City has estimated that approximately $1,370,000 in
new traffic impact fee payments would be realized during FY 16/17 resulting in a
projected balance (unprogrammed funds) of $4,307,316. The $1,370,000
estimate is only a rough approximation based on the three-year average
revenue from FY 12/13 through 14/15. Actual payments to the fund could be
significantly more or less than projected. However, current programming does
not rely on a specific amount being collected in FY 16/17. A summary of the
fund activity is presented in tabular form below.
Future Project and Fund Balance
Uses of Traffic Impact Fee funds are restricted to roadway capacity projects or
other projects that affect the performance of the street system to offset the
impacts of traffic generated by new development. Often, these types of
projects are quite expensive and can involve right-of-way acquisition and
property impacts. Staff has been developing projects to address some key
roadway capacity areas in the City that are also larger scale projects. With
expenditures that can be millions of dollars, staff has been recommended that
the Traffic Impact Fee fund accumulate a significant balance in order to make
pursuit of those projects financially possible in the future. However, it is important
to develop a program for fund expenditure to ensure the timely use of funds
that are collected under this program.
Staff often uses Traffic Impact Fee funds as a “matching fund” when pursuing
capacity enhancing grant projects. Two such examples are improvements at
the intersections of Beach/Warner and Brookhurst/Adams. Both projects are key
HB -197-Item 5. - 120
locations where future use of Traffic Impact Fee funds are expected. Between
the 2 projects, more than $8 million in expenditures are anticipated. The City
hopes to leverage Traffic Impact Fees to obtain grant funds for a portion of
these costs. Other potential uses for funds include improvements to traffic
operations and signal coordination throughout the traffic signal system and
potential long-term improvements at the intersections of Beach Boulevard/Heil
and Beach Boulevard/Talbert. The City is currently in the process of updating
the Circulation Element of the General Plan, which will provide the most current
snapshot of local street operations and long-term traffic projections. This
information will aid in the future planning of projects for prioritizing the use of
Traffic Impact Fee funds.

implements improvements identified in the Circulation Element of the General
Plan and is in conformance with the goals and objectives of the Fair Share

HB -198-Item 5. - 121
RESOLUTION No. 2012 -23
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
ADOPTING THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE CALCULATION AND NEXUS REPORT
FOR THE CITY OF HUNTING TON BEACH, AND ESTABLISHING NEW AND REVISED
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES FOR ALL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE CITY
WHEREAS, several policies within the City's General Plan require that new development
mitigate its share of the impacts to the natural and built environments and be fiscally neutral so
as to not result in a net economic loss for the City; and
Such General Plan policies include the maintenance of existing quality of life,
maintenance of existing service levels and funding of new facilities, the requirement of new
development to mitigate a fair share of its impacts, and calling for the use of impact fees to fund
needed improvements to serve new development, among other policies; and
In accordance with these General Plan policies, the City Council has directed staff in the
past to create development impact fees in accordance with State law. Said impact fees were
codified in Chapter 17.65 and Chapter 17.66 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code as well as
Huntington Beach Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance Chapter 230.20. Pursuant to each
ordinance set forth above, the amount of the development impact fee is to be set and/or updated
by resolution of the City Council; and
Subsequently, and periodically, staff has conducted comprehensive reviews of the City's
development impact fees to determine whether those fees are adequate to defray the cost of
public facilities related to new development; those fees are set forth in Resolutions 6164, 2006-
23, 2000-97, 2004-88, 99-60 and 96-71; 2002-129, 2004-88 and
The City contracted with Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC to provide a updated
comprehensive evaluation of the City's existing development impact fees; and
Revenue & Cost Specialists, LLC prepared a report, entitled Development Impact Fee
Calculation and Nexus Report for the City of Huntington Beach, dated October, 2011 as
amended April 27, 2012 (the "Nexus Report"), that provides an evaluation of existing
development impact fees, recommends an increase and change in methodology in certain
development impact fees, the creation of new impact fees and establishes the nexus between the
imposition of such impact fees and the estimated reasonable cost of providing the service for
which the fees are charged; and
The Nexus Report has been available for public review and comment; and
The Nexus Report substantiates the need for a modification to existing fees to change
certain methodology as well as creation of new impact fees; and
1
12-3209.006/79289
HB -199-Item 5. - 122
Resolution No. 2012-23
The City has collected development impact fees to mitigate the impacts of new
development, including fees for transportation, park land acquisition and development, library
and other public facilities since the adoption of the respective ordinances and resolutions; and
The City Council desires to repeal certain resolutions, create and update other
development impact fee resolutions in accordance with the calculations and recommendations
contained in the Nexus Report; and
In compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act, California Government Code section 66000
et seq., the City Council held a noticed public hearing on the proposed increase in development
impact fees at its regular meeting on June 18 , 2012, to solicit public input
on the proposed increases to development impact fees,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby
resolve as follows:
1. Findings pursuant to Government Code section 66001. The City Council finds
and determines that the Nexus Report complies with California Government Code section 66001,
and as to each of the proposed fees to be imposed on new development:
(a) Identifies the purpose of the fee;
(b) Identifies the use to which the fee will be put;
(c) Shows a reasonable relationship between the use of the fee and the type of
development project on which the fee is imposed;
(d) Demonstrates a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities
and the type of development projects on which the fee is imposed; and
(e) Demonstrates a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the
cost of the public facilities or portion of the public facilities attributable to the
development on which the fee is imposed.
2. Fees for Uses Consistent with the Nexus Report. The City Council hereby
determines that the fees imposed, pursuant to this resolution shall be used solely to finance the
public facilities and/or equipment and park land acquisition described or identified in the
respective ordinances and Nexus Report.
3. Approval of Items in the Nexus Report. The City Council has considered the
specific public facilities, equipment and park land acquisition cost estimates identified in the
Nexus Report and each ordinance thereto and hereby approves such public facilities, equipment
and park land acquisition cost and cost estimates and further finds that the cost estimates serve as
a reasonable basis for calculating and imposing the development impact fees as set forth in the
Nexus Report.

12-3209.006/79289
HB -200-Item 5. - 123
Resolution No. 2012-23
4. Consistency with General Plan. The City Council finds that the public facilities
equipment and park land acquisition and fee methodology identified in the respective ordinances
and Nexus Report are consistent with the City's General Plan and, in particular, those policies
that require new development to mitigate its share of the impacts to City infrastructure and to be
fiscally neutral.
5. Differentiation among Public Facilities. The City Council finds that the public
facilities identified in the Nexus Report and funded through the collection of development
impact fees recommended in the Nexus Report are separate and distinct from those public
facilities funded through other fees presently imposed and collected by the City. To the extent
that other fees imposed and collected by the City, including Specific Plan fees are used to fund
the construction of the same public facilities identified in the respective ordinances and Nexus
Report, then such other fees shall be a credit against the applicable development impact fees.
Notwithstanding the above provision, this resolution shall not be deemed to affect the imposition
or collection of the water and sewer connection fees authorized by the Huntington Beach
Municipal Code.
6. CEQA Finding. The adoption of the Nexus Report and the increase in
development impact fees are not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act in that
pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, section 15378(b) (4), the creation of government funding
mechanisms which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may cause a
significant effect on the environment, is not defined as a "project" under CEQA.
7. Adoption of Report. The Nexus Report as amended April 27, 2012, including
Appendices, is hereby adopted.
8. Fee Imposed. The new Development Impact Fees set by this resolution shall not
apply to projects that have received discretionary project entitlement approval on or before June
5, 2012 and the following milestones are met:
1. Project applicant has submitted an approved application for building permits
within 180 days after the fee going into effect or no later than February 18, 2013.
2. From the time of initial building permit application, the project makes continued
progress toward satisfying plan check comments.
3. Building Permits are issued within 360 days after the fees go into effect.
An exception to the above milestones is the involvement of an outside third party
regulatory agency. In such cases the 180 days to make building permit application will begin
when the developer receives clearance from that agency. The City Manager shall have the
authority, in his/her sole discretion, to extend milestone dates for qualifying "grandfathered"
projects. All other projects are subject to the fees then in effect. All existing Development
Impact Fees remain in effect until final action is taken on this resolution and respective
ordinances. In the event any portion of this resolution is held invalid, the previously approved
development impact fee shall automatically apply.
9. Timing of Fee. The development impact fees imposed by this resolution shall be
paid pursuant to the ordinances or resolution creating each separate fee. Until final action is
3

HB -201-Item 5. - 124

2006-23, 2000-97, 99-60, 2004-88 and 96-71 shall remain in effect.
10. Amount of Fee. The City Council hereby approves and adopts the Development
Impact Fees as set forth in Exhibit "A," attached hereto and incorporated herein as well as Nexus
Report Schedules 3.2, 4.3, 5.2, 6.2, 7.1, 8.1, and 8.4. Exhibit A and the Nexus Report sets forth
the methodology and aggregate amount imposed as a development impact fee for both residential
and nonresidential land uses and also sets forth the breakdown of each development impact fee
by type of facility.
The amount of the development impact fees excluding traffic impact fees shall be

Statement of Issue:
Transmitted for City Council consideration are revisions to the City’s existing Development
Impact Fees. With the assistance of Revenue & Cost Specialists, L.L.C. staff has evaluated
the City’s public services needs for the next twenty years and analyzed what the future
development opportunities were based on General Plan land use. From that Revenue & Cost
Specialists, L.L.C. compared the future City’s needs with the potential build out and derived
these revised/new Development Impact Fees included in the Development Impact Fee
Calculation and Nexus Report.
Financial Impact:
Adoption of the recommended impact fees (new and updates) will generate approximately
$154.8 million through General Plan Build-out. This represents an approximately $20 million
increase over the currently adopted impact fees.
Recommended Action: Motion to:
A) Adopt Resolution No. 2012 - 23, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington
Beach Adopting the Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report for the City of
Huntington Beach, and Establishing New and Revised Development Impact Fees For All
Development Within the City;” and,
B) Approve for introduction Ordinance No. 3942, “An Ordinance of the City of Huntington
Beach Amending the Huntington Beach Municipal Code by Adding Chapter 17.75 Relating to
Development Impact Fees for Police Facilities;” and,
C) Approve for introduction Ordinance No. 3943, “An Ordinance of the City of Huntington

Alternative Action(s):
The City Council may make the following alternative motions:
1. Do not adopt Resolution #2012-23 and Ordinances #3942-3947, updating the proposed
development impact fees leaving fees at current levels.
2. Make changes to the recommended fees and adopt as amended.
3. Continue the Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report and direct staff
accordingly.
Analysis:
BACKGROUND
Development Impact fees are one-time charges applied to offset the additional public-service
costs of new development. Fees are proposed to be assessed at the time a building permit is
issued and rededicated to providing additional services, such as water and sewer systems,
roads, libraries, and parks and recreation facilities, made necessary by the increase in number
of new residents in the area. The funds cannot be used for operation, maintenance, repair or
replacement of existing capital facilities. The amount of the proposed fee is clearly linked to
the added service cost.
The development community has requested that the City of Huntington Beach make it easier
for potential developers to calculate all impact fees from the early design stage of their project
and to defer payment of the development impact fees to the issuance of the Certificate of
Occupancy or Final Building Permit Approval.
The actions in this report address only Development Impact Fees. Fees charged under the
Subdivision Map Act will be addressed separately at a later date. These fees are Quimby and
Drainage fees.
STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION:
The City of Huntington Beach is getting close to full build-out and development of the
remaining vacant parcels as well as renovation/construction of existing homes and businesses.
New development results in increased demand that must be absorbed by the existing

infrastructure. Currently the city collects development impact fees for traffic, library
development, and park land/open space. Working with staff, Revenue & Cost Specialist,
L.L.C. generated a Master Facilities Plan for theoretical General Plan build-out of the City. The
Master Facilities Plan indentifies all growth-related capital projects required to accommodate
new City development through General Plan build-out. Using information in the Master
Facilities Plan, a Development Impact Fee Calculation Report was generated. The purpose of
the report is to assure that the impacts created by new development pays a fair share of the
proportional costs required for expansion of all development within the City of Huntington
Beach.
On April 27, 2012 the Nexus report dated October 2011 was amended. Due to additional costs
associated with the accounting, collection and state mandated tracking Park Land/Open Space
Fee and the Public Meeting Facilities fee were collapsed into one fee, now called the Park
Land Acquisition and Park Facilities Development Fee. This was undertaken to provide the
City greater flexibility to address the City’s capital project needs and priorities over time.
The Development Impact Report contemplates two new fees, police and fire, and updates the
existing traffic, library, and park land/open space impact fees (Attachment No. 1) based on the
City’s changing requirement for public safety, streets and signals and other quality-of-life
facilities. Attachment No. 9 is a comparison of current impact fees and proposed impact fees.
The paragraphs to follow provide additional, detailed analysis of the changes sought to each
type of fee.
Law Enforcement Facilities, Vehicles, and Equipment Fee (New)
The purpose of the new Law Enforcement Facilities, Vehicles and Equipment Fee is to collect
proportional contributions from new development to pay for additional required law
enforcement facilities, vehicles and equipment. New development can be expected to
generate additional law enforcement calls for service. Different types of development will
create proportional levels of calls for service that generate law enforcement response.
Additional sworn officers are necessary to respond to the increased demands for service and
these fees will offset the added costs of housing and equipping the additional required officers.
The proposed resolution establishes the actual amount of the new Law Enforcement
Development Impact Fee. The resolution also specifies that the proposed fees be used solely
for expanding or increasing capacity within the law enforcement facilities and to increase the
number of enforcement vehicles and specialty equipment.
Fire Suppression/Medic Facilities Vehicles and Equipment Fee (New)

development to pay for additional fire suppression/emergency medical response facilities,
vehicles and specialized equipment. In order to be able to continue to respond to an ever-
increasing number of expected emergency calls, fire department staff has determined the need
for the relocation of one fire station (as opposed to adding a ninth) and expanding one existing
fire station. Having the right type and inventory of fire stations in the right locations enables the
City’s policy makers to house firefighters, apparatus and equipment to provide for maximum
use of resources.

additional fire facilities, vehicles and specialized equipment required to respond to additional
calls for service (related to the new development) necessary to maintain the capability of
responding to calls to the existing community. Fees will be used to finance the construction or
acquisition of fire suppression/emergency medical facilities, vehicles and specialized
equipment identified in the Master Facilities Plan that are necessary to accommodate
anticipated and planned development in the community.
Circulation (Streets, Signals and Bridges) System Fee
The Fair Share Traffic Impact Fee collects proportional contributions from new development to
ay for additional circulation system capacity by creating more travel lanes or more efficient
by new development.
e Traffic Impact Fee slightly modifies the methodology for
proportioning the cost to users, resulting in slightly increased fees for some uses and slightly

development. This process results in a “per unit” fee which can be assessed on new

Improvements take the form of construction of new travel lanes including the widening of
streets, installation and modification of traffic signals to accommodate changes in traffic
patterns and improving the infrastructure of our traffic signal system to enable development of
better signal coordination. Improvements for pedestrians, bicycles and transit may also be
included in these improvements.
The current Traffic Impact Fee is $172 per net new trip generated by a proposed development.
The recommended update to th
lower fees for others. In general, the recommended methodology shifts fees from commercial
uses to residential uses. The new methodology better reflects the actual impacts to the street
system by not only accounting for the number of trips generated by the land use, but also the
average length of the trip. This approach is based on the concept that a longer trip has greater
potential to impact multiple locations within the circulation system.
The proposed methodology is predicated on distributing the estimated $23,867,660 in
circulation system improvement costs needed to serve additiona
development. The “per unit” fee is developed based on typical trip generation rates for specific
uses and also factors in the average length of a trip associated with that type of use. The “per
unit” fee reflects the prorated fair share costs of improvements based on the number of trip-
miles generated by the particular land use category. Rates recommended for adoption are
based on a daily trip-mile of $64.34. This represents 10% less than the amount recommended
in the Development Impact Fee Calculation Report due to the elimination of approximately
$2.7 million in maintenance facility and equipment costs previously included in the calculation.
The current Traffic Impact Fee was established using a fair share methodology based only on
the number of trips generated by a particular land use. The following example is presented to
If a typical single family home generates 8.8 trips per day the Traffic Impact Fee under the
current program ($172 per trip) is $1,513.
If a medium sized shopping center generates 30 trips/1000 square feet of floor area the Traffic
Impact Fee under the current program is $

2.15 miles per trip for shopping center) the rates ch

City to expand facilities and enhance collections to accommodate projected growth and

use is primarily by residents as opposed to business persons. Therefore, there are no fees
being collected for commercial or industrial construction.
The resolution specifies that the fees would be used solely for support of library services and
facilities. Funds collected from the Public Library Fee shall be used to cover the cost of
expansion of library space and collection items needed to meet
residential growth and development. Funds can be used to acquire additional property,
construct new facilities, furnish new buildings or facilities, purchase collection materials,

and build-out projections cited in the new “Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus
Report” completed by Revenue and Cost Specialists L.L.C. in October 2011.
As referenced in the October 2011 report, the City owns or has long-term control of 778.41
acres of traditional park land, with about 87.9% developed. It is anticipated that the City will
need to acquire 70.5 acres in park land to serve the additional projected 17,089 residents at
build-out. The challenge facing the City is to provide new facilities and park land to serve the
recreational needs of new residents.
The proposed fees are based on the estimated per acre acquisition and development costs as
presented in Schedule 9.1 factored by the City’s existing park
by the average number of persons per type of dwelling unit.
Currently this fee is $0.86 per square foot and applies to all new residential development (new
construction and additions) the fee is paid at the time of permit
development. The proposed fee will apply to new residential units only; it will no longer apply
to residential room additions or expansions. This will result in an elimination of the per square
foot fee for residential development, however a square foot fee will continue to be applied to all
non-residential development. In addition, it should be noted that currently Ordinance No. 3596
of Chapter 254 of the Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance exempts mobile homes from Park
Impact fees. The proposed fees would require the payment of $11,169 per mobile home
dwelling unit. However, in an effort to implement the proposed fees in a timely manner and
since there no applications on file for approval of a mobile home park, staff is recommending
that the mobile home exemption be extended until such time that Ordinance No. 3596 can be
revised to reflect the new fees.
Projected population increases will also place additional demands on existing community
centers, and other community use facilities
Service Center, Shipley Nature Center, etc). The Park Acquisition and Park Facilities
Development Fee will enable the City to meet the added demands created by the construction
of additional residential dwelling units to maintain the current standard of 0.620 square feet per
person for the Public Facility use space.

RE: City of Huntington Beach Master Facilities Plan
Honorable Mayor, City Council, and City Manager Wilson,
The following Document, the proposed Master Facilities Plan (MFP) is hereby submitted for City
Council review and consideration. The proposed MFP is the result of many hours of work
between City staff and Revenue & Cost Specialists, L.L.C. staff. This document represents a
long-range program of identification and recognition of the entirety of infrastructure and physical
needs necessary to meet the service demands of an ever-growing residential population and
business community. The information included in this proposed MFP identifies capital needs
throughout the community and is primarily based on the numerous elements of the Huntington
Beach Comprehensive General Plan, it's many elements, Master Plans and other official
documents.
The City 's five-year Capital Improvement Plan and the proposed development impact fees will be
a function of the entire list of proposed projects listed in this document. Stated in a slightly
different way, the list of projects contained herein needs to be agreed to by the City Council in
order to increase the validity of both of the two above mentioned documents.
This Master Facilities Plan contains the following:
•A Table of Contents

CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
GUIDE TO THE MASTER FACILITIES PLAN
The Master Facilities Plan is a compilation of projects identified by City staff as being needed for
the City of Huntington Beach through theoretical General Plan build-out of the City. The Plan is
based on input from City staff, recommended projects contained in the City's several Master Plans
for infrastructure and an occasional recommendation from RCS staff.
The Master Facilities Plan generally provides for three major types of projects. The first group
of projects provides for the maintenance, repair and rehabilitation of the City's varied
infrastructure, including its streets, storm drains and other public facilities. These projects
represent a very small portion of the needed replacement of the City's fixed assets identified at
more than $1.435 million of depreciable fixed assets which are being consumed, conservatively,
at an annual rate of just over $19.1 million, (assuming a conservative 75 year infrastructure
lifetime). The $1.435 billion figure excludes significant amounts of owned park land, not subject
to depreciation, at approximately $678.2 million. The following table indicates the replacement
costs of the various infrastructure owned by the City.
Table MFP-1
Replacement Value of Existing Infrastructure
Infrastructure Replacement Value
Law Enforcement $71,246,699
Fire Suppression/Medic $61,234,227
Circulation System (1)$533,539,375
Storm Drainage System (1)$203,631,313
Library Space/Collection $76,593,112
Park Improvements $488,783,370
Total $1,435,028,096
(1) Does not include millions of dollars owned in land right-of-way and
Excludes "local" facilities, those limited to neighborhood facilities.
The second group of projects are needed to serve future development and include such projects
as widening of streets, creation of additional parkland or construction of a new fire station. These
projects are proposed to be funded through the development impact fees recommended in the
companion to this document called Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report for City
of Huntington Beach.

HB -227-Item 5. - 150
Guide to the Huntington Beach Master Facilities Plan
The last group of projects are proposed to enhance the quality of life for all City residents and spur
economic growth in the community. These projects include the construction of a community
centers, libraries and parks that expand the existing level of service.
Goal of the Master Facilities Plan. The Master Facilities Plan is not intended to be the final word
on capital improvement projects needed for the City, but rather a starting point for discussions
between policy-makers (i.e., the City Council), City management staff and the public prior to the
formulation of a Five- or Six-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The Master Facilities Plan
begins the process of identifying all growth-related capital projects required to accommodate new
City development through General Plan build-out. This document, as all capital improvement
programs should be, is rooted in the philosophy that for the document to have any meaningful
value to future residents and staff members, it must be constantly updated and revised as new
legislation is adopted and as the environment and the City itself changes over the years.
In short, the Master Facilities Plan is intended as a fluid, not static, document. Thus, it is
essential that periodic updates be performed to add new projects or delete completed or no longer
needed projects.
The Master Facilities Plan represents the starting point for fulfillment of the following purposes:
Planning - The Plan implements the standards and goals contained in the City's General
Plan when applicable and proposes improvement projects which are constructed and
located in conformance with the General Plan.
Financial Planning - A Facilities Plan or CIP should consider the scheduling and
availability of financing sources in order to achieve an orderly and comprehensive process.
Individual project descriptions in this document detail the project's relationship to other
recommended improvements and other scheduling constraints. This effort should always
be a high priority of the City in order to insure that efforts between departments are
coordinated and to avoid construction made more costly by duplication of construction
efforts (i.e. a water pipe installed one year after a road is constructed).
A sound capital planning process can also help to rationally plan projects for the purposes
of long-term financing. Taxpayers can accrue savings when capital financing is
coordinated such that long-term financing can be sized and timed to achieve the lowest
possible financing costs.
Budgeting - The following projects should provide the outline for preparation of the Five-
Year Capital Improvement Plan in the future. The first year of the CIP then is incorpo-
rated into the City's Annual Budget. Note: the scope of services did not include the
ii
HB -228-Item 5. - 151
Guide to the Huntington Beach Master Facilities Plan
identification of what year the projects will be needed therefore the project costs default
to the last column.
Master Facilities Planning Process. The Master Facilities Plan represents an interdepartmental
effort to identify needed projects through the theoretical point of build-out of the City.
Management staff was then asked to allocate projects as a first step towards prioritizing all projects
for the Plan. Criteria considered by the management team in evaluating projects included:
•Does the project generate operating savings or otherwise enhance the ability of the
department to deliver services?
•Did the project reduce or eliminate safety or health hazards?
•Was the project needed to provide adequate levels of service to future residents or prevent
deterioration of service to existing residents?
•Was the project recommended in any of the City's engineering or planning Master Plans,
the Corporate Plan or any other adopted City document?
•Did the project have a significant positive effect on the community?
Funding Analysis. The following summary section of this Plan includes a projection of historical
and potential revenue sources for the financing of the listed capital improvement projects.
Development impact fee revenues were estimated based on the proposed rates recommended in
the Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report. For the purposes of this Report it was
assumed that development will occur evenly over the period of build-out for the City.
Other revenue sources were projected based on discussions with City staff, but are shown only for
informational purposes. Given the magnitude of costs shown in this Report, RCS recommends
that a more detailed financial strategy for construction of these improvements (i.e., a Capital
Financing Plan) be conducted by the City within the immediate future. Such a document would
seek to further identify and quantify potential financing sources for the City.
It should be noted that the Master Facilities Plan emphasizes the total capital needs of the City,
in contrast to the more traditional Capital Improvement Program approach which places more of
an emphasis on reducing total needs to only reasonably assured revenue sources. The process of
further scheduling projects on a year-to-year basis should continue onward during the Capital
Improvement Program process.
Organization of the Master Facilities Plan. The Master Facilities Plan is divided into eight major
sections, according to the category of capital improvement. Each will ultimately be quantified as
±±±
HB -229-Item 5. - 152
Guide to the Huntington Beach Master Facilities Plan
a separate development impact fee in the companion document. The eight types of improvements
are:
Law Enforcement Facilities, Vehicles and Equipment - These are projects needed for
the City's Police Department, including expansion of the Police Station and acquisition of
additional communication equipment and response vehicles.
Fire Suppression/Medic Facilities and Response Vehicles - This program includes
facilities necessary to accommodate new development support with the existing level of
service provided by the City's Fire Department. This section contains the need for one fire
station relocation, expansion of second, construction of additional vehicle storage space
and a number of additional response apparatus.
Circulation (streets, bridges and signals) System - These projects consists of future street
additional traffic signals and intersection improvements.
Storm Drainage Collection System - These projects include the construction of new storm
drain lines, channels and other facilities for the purposes of storm drainage.
Public Library Facilities and Collection - This program provides for the expansion of the
City-owned library facilities. The project consists of the building expansion and expansion
of the collection inventory.
Park Land Acquisition and Park Facilities Development - The acquisition and develop-
ment of new parks, the construction of recreational facilities for the City and improvement
of existing undeveloped parklands are accomplished through this program. It also includes
open space acquisition and the construction of a number community/recreation/gymnasium
centers for classes, meetings, sports activities and other general public uses.
At the beginning of each of these sections is a summary of projects in that category and proposed
project cost. Next, is an individual project description for each project submitted, detailing the
proposed scope of the project, the submitting department, justification and listing of related
projects.
The table on the following page indicates the total project expenditures ($403,399,086) identified
as necessary through build-out. Some of this amount, about $22.3 million would be financed by
other revenues or government agencies.

Fairness and reason (as well as the more important State and Federal statutes and court decisions)
dictate that not all of the projects will qualify for development impact fee funding (i.e. some
projects are replacements or service level increasing, etc.). If the City adopts the development
impact fees that represent the General Plan Build-out need-based impact fees (Schedule 2.1 in the
companion Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report), 42.6% of the required
funding (or $172.1 million) would be raised with development impact fees. Existing Development
Impact Fee Fund balances of $3.6 million will provide 0.9% of the total project funding and other
sources (inter-governmental support) will finance 5.7% ($23.0 million) This leaves 50.8%, or
$204.8 million of the total project costs as unfunded, to be financed by other sources such as fees,
rates, existing taxes or voter approved additional taxes, inter-governmental transfers and the rare
occasional grant.
Relationship to Development Impact Fee Report. The Master Facilities Plan was prepared in
conjunction with the City's Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report, also prepared
by RCS, LLC. Projects listed in the Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report
correspond to projects found in this document and contain the same numbering sequence as the
Master Facilities Plan. The Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report is also
contains eight chapters specific to each one of these infrastructure sections according to the same
category of projects described on the previous page.

Master Facilities Plan Project Detail
Infrastructure: Law Enforcement Facilities, Vehicles And Equipment
Project Number/Title LE 001 Additional Law Enforcement Facility Space
Submitting Departments: Police Department
Project Description:
Acquire land (or replacement land is placed at City Hall) for and construct 12,041 square feet of law enforcement space. The department will
need to hire an additional 33 sworn officers at General Plan build-out to accommodate the additional 14.6% (8,697) in calls-for-service
demand over the current 59,479 annual calls-for-service. Roughly 249 of these would be to the beach area. The additional space could be in
the main station or could be located elsewhere in the City. The space would be necessary to expand, patrol, investigation. traffic control or any
of the many specialty support services such as communications or records.
Justification / Consequences of Avoidance:
The City annually currently experiences roughly approximately 61,285 calls-for-sevice, 97.05% of which are from privately-held properties
within the City's limits. The land-use database indicates the addition of 7,065 residential dwellings, 1,353 commercial lodging rooms and 7.3
million square feet of additional business (commercial, office and industrial) space which will generate, on average, an additional 8,448
annual calls-for-service, oral4.6% increase. While the existing station is adequate to meet the current needs, the addition of 34 sworn officers
will generate the need for a proportionally greater amount of space.
Relationship to General Plan Development
The project primarily addresses additional calls-for-service from new development (97.05%) and thus is allocated 97,05% to new General
Plan development
Allocation To General Plan Buildout 97.05%
Reference Document
Project Timing:
The project timing would be dependent upon both the rate of development and collection of Development Impact Fees.

Master Facilities Plan Project Detail
Infrastructure: Law Enforcement Facilities, Vehicles And Equipment
Project Number:/ Title LE 002 Acquire Additional Response Vehicles
Submitting Departments: Police Department
Project Description:
Acquire thirty-two additional response or specialty vehicles at an average cost of $54,720 each in order to maintain the existing ratio of 0.98
vehicles per officer. Approximately 97,05% of these vehicles are required to serve private sectror development
Justification / Consequences of Avoidance:
The Department currently has 231 law enforcement vehicles that are used by the 235 sworn officers creating an existing standard of 0.98
vehicles per sworn officer. With that the addition of 33 officers needed to respond to the annual calls-for-service likely yo be generated by
future General Plan development the City will need to acquire and additional 32 vehicles in order to maintain the 0.98 ratio of vehicle per sworn
officer. Failure to maintain the current ratio of vehciels per officer could reduce the City's ability to maintain beat strength and would certainly
accelerate vehilce turnover.
Relationship to General Plan Development
The acquisition addresses only the future additional calls-for-service from General Plan new development and thus is allocated 97.05 percent
to new development.
Allocation To General Plan Buildout: 97.05%

Master Facilities Plan Project Detail
Infrastructure: Fire Suppression/Medic Facilities, Vehicles And Equipment
Project Number/Title FS 001 Relocate Fire Station #8 (Heil)
Submitting Departments: Fire Department
Project Description:
Relocate Station #8 from its current location on Heil Avenue just west of Springale Street to a more northerly area near Graham Street just
north of Edinger Street. The proposed 11,350 square foot facility would be a be alive vehicle configuration and would require roughly 1.25
acres. The facility would be capable of housing up to three companies and battalion chief. The facility would provide 3,550 square feet of
vehicle bay space, 1,290 square feet of mechanical/technical space, 6,150 square feet of living quarters consisting of (a maximum of 24)
bunks, lockers, restrooms/showers, a physical training room, kitchen, dining and a dayroom.
Justification / Consequences of Avoidance:
The forty-five year-old station, once state-of-the-art has numerous limitations in addition to mere aging. In addition to asbestos removal
needs, the station design does not allow for mixed gender accommodation or the assignment of an aerial response truck. Since the station
needs to be reconstructed, relocation more northerly, about 1.25 miles, would improve the first-in engine, truck and paramedic ALS response
capacity to that area of the City. Redevelopment along the Edinger/Beach corridor will likely result in a greeter number of calls-for-service
changing the response dynamic of the existing eight stations. If the station were not relocated, the area in question would receive longer
response times.
Relationship to General Plan Development:
Relocating Station #8 (Heil) is consistent with the City's General Plan Public Safety response time commitments and would improve the
average engine, aerial truck and ALS paramedic response time through-out the City, in particular the Edinger/Beach corridor area.
Allocation To General Plan Buildout: 60.00%
Reference Document:
Project Timing:
The redevelopment along the Edinger/Beach corridor would likely be the trigger point for the need orf this relocation. The station age and
limitations are also an issue and could trigger the construction timing.

Project Number/Title FS 002 Construct Station #8 (Heil) Apparatus Storage Facility
Submitting Departments: Fire Department
Project Description:
Construct a 3,620 square foot reserve apparatus storage facility upon relocation of the extisting Station #8 (Heil) to its proposed future location.
The facility would consist of a 2,660 square foot two bays wide by two vehicle deep storage building for up to four reserve response vehicles.
There would also be a contiguous 960 square foot basic storage room. The facility would be constructed on the rear portion of the parcel
near the hose tower and hose storage building.
Justification / Consequences of Avoidance:
The proposed storage building is necessary for proper storage of the reserve vehicles and other specialty equipment not used on a routine
basis, but important none-the-less. The existing vehicle storage facility cannot store all of the reservse vehciels that will be needed at General
Plan build-out
Relationship to General Plan Development
The additional storage sapce is necessary, in part to new deveopment and also because of the limited capaciaty of the single existing
reserve vehicle storage facility.
Allocation To General Plan Buildout: 25.00%
Reference Document:
Project Timing:
The facility would likely be constructed at the same time as the proposed relocation of station #8 (Heil), however, the construction could be
completed at a different time.

Submitting Departments: Fire Department
Projed Description:
Construct a 2,400 square foot addition to Station #4 (Magnolia). The plans consist of an additional bay and sufficient living
quarters/training/storage space to the existing two-bay Station #4 (Magnoila). The additional 1,400 square foot vehicle bay would allow for
two additoned response vehicles, in this case an engine and an ambulance. The 1,000 square foot living quarters expansion would increase
storage/locker space by approximately 200 square feet and living/training space by approximately 800 square feet
Justification / Consequences of Avoidance:
The expanded facility will be needed to accommodate the additional calls-for-seivce demands from the planned density-inceasing
redevelopment from the Downtown Specific Plan and along the southerly portion of the Edinger/Beach Specific Plan corridor. Increased
call-load must be balanced by have adequate fire station quarters and apparatus in order to meet the City's General Plan emergency
response goals. Without the additional facilities, the response goals will be unachievable with the greater demands.
Relationship to General Plan Development
The facility expansion is required to accommodate higher densities resulting from development consistebt with the Downtown Specific Plan
and the southerly portion of the Edinger/Beach Specific Plan corridor as well for multiple response vehicle demands
to other parts of the City.

Infrastructure: Local Circulation (Streets, Signals And Bridges) System
Project Number/ Title LC 001 Beach Boulevard And Edinger Avenue
Submitting Departments: Public Works - Engineering
Project Description:
To maximize the capability to move vehicles and pedestrians across the intersection (in all directions), the following improvements to the
intersection are proposed: 1) Add 4th northbound through lane, and 2) Add a 3rd westbound through lane. Beach Boulevard, being a State
Highway, makes this a CALTR4NS managed project. Since the project would not be managed by the City the estimated cost consists of the
entire project cost, but does not separate those costs into engineering and contingency components.
Justification/Consequences of Avoidance:
There are few opportunities to add additional lane miles through out the City thus maximum movement of traffic across major circulation routes
is critical. Failure to or inability to increase circulation capacity where warranted and needed would reduce the Level of Setvice (or LOS)traffic
flow at intersections of major streets to a Level "E" by acting as a bottleneck. Level "E" is "Unstable Flow:" and is identified as "long queues of
vehicles waiting upstream of the intersection", Level "E", "Forced Flow" creates 'Jammed conditions, back-ups from other locations restrict or
prevent movement".
Relationship to General Plan Development:
All new development will impact existing intersections within the City, making some of them require improvements or the LOS will drop to
unacceptable levels like "Co', "E" or "F". Development anticipated over the next twenty years will generate 454,542 additional daily trip-miles.
This is a 14.6% increase daily over the City's existing demand of 3,107,224 daily trip-miles, all of which will compete for use of a static number
of major roadway lane miles.
Allocation To General Plan Buildout 75.00%

Project Timing:
The project will be constructed within normal review of priorities and as adequate and sufficient revenues are collected.

Project Description:
To maximize the capability to move vehicles and pedestrians across the intersection (in all directions), the following improvements to the
intersection are proposed: 1) Add 2nd northbound left-turn lane. An alternative would be to construd: 1)A de-facto westbound rightturn lane,
and 2) add a de-facto southbound right turn lane. Beach Boulevard, being a State Highway, makes this a CALTRANS managed project.

State Highway, makes this a CALTRANS managed project. Since the project would not be managed by the City, the estimated cost consists
of the entire project cost, but does not separate those costs into engineering and contingency components.
Justification / Consequences of Avoidance:
There are few opportunities to add additional lane miles through out the City, thus maximum movement of traffic across major circulation routes
is critical. Failure to or inability to increase circulation capacity where warranted and needed would reduce the Level of Service (or LOS) traffic
flow at intersections of major streets to a Level "E" by acting as a bottleneck Level "E" is "Unstable Flow:" and is identified as long queues of
vehicles waiting upstream of the intersection". Level "E", "Forced Flow" creates "Jammed conditions, back-ups from other locations restrict or
prevent movement".
Relationship to General Plan Development:
All new development will impact existing intersections within the City, making some of them require improvements or the LOS will drop to
unacceptable levels like "D", 11 E" or "F". Development anticipated over the next tyventy years will generate 454,542 additional daily trip-miles.
This is a 14.6% increase daily over the City's existing demand of 3,107,224 daily trip-miles, all of which will compete for use of a static number
of major roadway lane miles. The 454,542 added daily trip-miles represent 12.8% of the total 3,561,767 daily trip-miles at the twenty-year
development horizon.

Relationship to General Plan Development:
All new development will impact existing intersections within the City, making some of them require improvements or the LOS will drop to
unacceptable levels like "D", "E" or "F". Development anticipated over the next tvventy years will generate 454,542 additional daily trip-miles.
This is a 14.6% increase daily over the City's existing demand of 3,107,224 daily trip-miles, all of which will compete for use of a static number
of major roadway lane miles. The 454,542 added daily trip-miles represent 12.8% of the total 3,561,767 daily trip-miles at the Wenty-year
development horizon.

Master Facilities Plan Project Detail
Infrastructure: Local Circulation (Streets, Signals And Bridges) System
Project Number/ Title LC 020 Miscellaneous Traffic Signal/Intersection Improvements
Submitting Departments: Public Works - Engineering
Project Description:
Construct on average, a traffic signal (and supportive intersection improvements) per year over a twenty-year development window. The
intersections would be selected on an as-needed basis from an existing prioritized list of proposed intersections. The improvements would
include, but not necessarily be limited to, concrete curb, sidewalk and disabled ramp alterationss, new signals infrastructure, consisintg of light
arms, lights, electrical control boxes, off-site controls. In addition there maybe a need for lane restriping and left-turn and right turn pockets.
These projects would be a City-managed.
Justification / Consequences of Avoidance:
There are few opportunities to add additional lane miles through out the City, thus movement of traffic across major circulation routes. Failure
to or inability to increase circulation capacity where warranted and needed would reduce the Level of Service (or LOS) traffic flow at
intersections of major streets to a Level "E" by acting as a bottleneck. Level "E" is "Unstable Flow:" and is identified as "long queues of
vehicles waiting upstream of the intersection". Level "E", 'Forced Flow" creates "Jammed conditions, back-ups from other locations restrict or
prevent movement'.
Relationship to General Plan Development:
All new development will impact existing intersections within the City, making some of them require improvements or the LOS will drop to
unacceptable levels like "D". "E" or "F". Development anticipated over the next twenty years will generate 454,542 additional daily trip-miles.
This is a 14.6% increase daily over the City's existing demand of 3,107,224 daily trip-miles, all of which will compete for use of a static number
of major roadway lane miles. The 454,542 added daily trip-miles represent 12.8% of the total 3,561,767 daily trip-miles at the twenty-year

Infrastructure: Local Circulation (Streets, Signals And Bridges) System
Project Number:/ Title LC 021 Public Works Maintenance Building
Submitting Departments: Public Works - Engineering
Project Description:
Construct a 10.000 square foot split-face block, general-use circulation system maintenance building. The facility would have full utilities and
a number of roll-up doors. Approximately 80% of the cost of the additional space would benefit circulation system maintenance. The
remaining 20% would be required for the growing storm drainage collection system maintenance needs and would thus be financed with
Strom Drainage System Development Impact Fee proceeds. The cot below represents 80% of the proposed facility costs.
Justification / Consequences of Avoidance:
The additional space needs is required tro support the roughly $40.0 million in additional equipment and supply space needs resulting from
the addition of major circulation and strain drainage improvements as well as an untold amount of local street miles and local strom drainage
lines.

Submitting Departments: Public Works - Engineering
Project Description:
The 788 individual projects within Area lare required to remove storm drainage water from the City's street surfaces and other public areas
and safely conveying it to the proper outlet. Sub-drainage region #1 drains the lower central to east and southerly areas of the City. It is
generally bordered on the east by the Santa Ana River Channel, on the southwest by the Pacific Coast Highway and the Pacific Ocean, on the
west mainly by Alabama and Main Streets, and on the north by Garfield and Ellis Avenues. It encompasses the Santa Ana River and the
Talbert Channel Water Duality Planning Area and is represented in watershed Drainage Maps 20-2729-32, 40, and 41.
Justification / Consequences of Avoidance:
These improvements are needed to provide efficient removal of storm water from the City's streets, roads and other public areas. Storm
water will increase in amounts proportional to the amount of impervious surface reducing the capability of the ground to absorb water. The
amount ranges from a low of 0.745 for detached dwellings to a high of 0.830 for commercial properties. If not completed, there would be the
potential for flooding of downstream creeks, washes and other storm drainage collection pipes. Emergency vehicle response by the City's
Police, Fire and Public Works crews could be effected to all areas of the City.
Relationship to General Plan Development:
A proportional amount of the projects, vis-a-vis the cost of the entire system, is appropriate.

Project Description:
Expand the Banning Branch Library facilities by 10,100 square feet from the current 2,400 square feet to 12,500 square feet to assit in maintain
the existing levels of service and extend those same levels of service to the 17,089 new residents expected to be added through General
Plan build-out.
Justification I Consequences of Avoidance:
The current defado library standard of space is 0.669 square feet per resident Added 17,089 residents from new General Plan development
will create additional demands upon the existing level of service provided by the library. Without increasing library space,. the existing
standard would decrease to about 0.614 square feet per resident.

Submitting Departments: Library Services
Project Description:
Expand the Main Street Branch Library facilities by 4,804 square feet from the current 4,500 square feet to 9,304 square feet to assist in the
maintenance of the existing levels of service and extend those same levels of service to the 17,089 new residents expected to be added
through General Plan build-out The project consists taking 4,804 square feet of the current building that house the branch library currently
used by a non-City tenant and turning it into library space. There is no current effort to oust the current tenant, however, ultimately the
non-library space could easily be converted as librray space.
Justification / Consequences of Avoidance:
The current defacto library standard of space is 0.669 square feet per resident. Added 17,089 residents from new General Plan development
will create additional demands upon the existing level of service provided by the library. Without increasing library space, the existing

Project Number:/ Title PK 001 Bartlett Park Conceptual Plan And EIR
Submitting Departments: Community Services
Project Description:
The project consists of the environmental assessment and conceptual plan for the remaining 28 acre Bartlett Park, largely an Environmentally
Sensitive Habitat Area (ESHA). The preliminary plans include a natural-passive use consisting of trails, trailhead kiosks, and limited, natural
parking.
Justification / Consequences of Avoidance:
The park improvements are needed for protection of the currently open or vacant parcel. Roughly 90% of the park would remain untouched
with improvements designed to protect that 90%.
Relationship to General Plan Development:
Little direct relationship, but the improvements are consistent with the City's General Plan Recreation Element and indirectly support the
additional residents resulting from new development The project is also capacity increasing.
Allocation To General Plan Buildout: 0.00%

Project Description:
The project consists of the development of the remaining eight acres. Construct bio-filter and water retention area, In addition, construct trails,
passive pocket areas, interpretive signs and a small area of neighborhood park improvements (climbing apparatus, benches, picnic tables)
adjacent to the neighborhood area. The more active portion would be designed in a fashion to protect the more natural areas.
Justification / Consequences of Avoidance:
The park needs a combination of passive/active improvements to create a balance of active uses with protection of the water retention
needs. The water retention needs would receive appropriations from storm drainage sources, a State Public Works Grant.

Submitting Departments: Community Services
Project Description:
The project consists of an Environmental Impact Review, Remedial Action Plan and ultimately a development plan. The gun range has been
inactive for over ten years and the accumulated lead in the soil and use of creosote wood presents an environmental problem and must be
remediated before re-use. Phase I consists of preparation of an Environmental Impact Report and Remedial Action Plan. Phase II ($2.0
million) is an estimate of the range remediation. Phase Ill (also $2.0 million) is the actual site improvements to turn it into an active park use,
proposed atthis time to be a skate park
Justification / Consequences of Avoidance:
The roughly five acre gun range area is part of the City's major regional park and needs to be used to its maximum potential in a yet to be
determined manner.

Submitting Departments: Community Services
Project Description:
Complete an enhanced habitat plan for entire Central Park area, The plan is necessary for mitigating the raptor foraging area related to the
areas slated for construction of the proposed Central Park Senior Center. The results may indicate the need for a one-to-one basis within the

Submitting Departments: Community Services
Project Description:
Construct 45,000 square foot Senior Center in Central Park. The facility would have a large multi-purpose room, a number of smaller
classrooms, a warming kitchen, fitness center, game room with pool tables, and ancillary offices. There would also be a garden patio with a
water feature, turf and gardens. The facility would have parking for 250 vehicles.
Justification / Consequences &Avoidance:
The City currently has a de-facto standard of 0.620 square feet or general purpose community use facility space per resident based upon the
City's 118,820 square feet of public use facilities available to the 190,377 residents. The City wishes to maintain, if not improve, this standard
by construction. The 0.620 square foot per person is not the standard for senior only facilities, but for all community use facilities available to
the entire residential population.
Relationship to General Plan Development:
The proposed land-use database indicates additional residential dwellings that would likely result in roughly 17,089 additional residents
requiring at least 10,595 square feet of public use space in order to maintain the existing level of service (LOS)

RE: 2011-12 Master Facilities Plan and Development Impact Fee (DIF) Calculation
Honorable Mayor, Council and City Manager Wilson:
The City is experiencing private development of remaining vacant parcels and the on-going
redevelopment of existing homes and businesses. This continuous development results in
increased demand that must be absorbed (and accommodated) by the City's existing infrastructure
and the Levels of Service (LOS) offered by that existing infrastructure. Revenue 8z Cost
Specialists, L.L.C., was contracted to undertake a comprehensive identification of the capital
projects and capital acquisitions necessary to accommodate all such new demands for municipal
service. Such a study is necessary to preserve the existing Levels of Service (LOS) currently
offered to and enjoyed by (after having been paid for by) the existing community from the
diminution of those existing LOS due to the addition of new residential and business development
in Huntington Beach and calculate the development impact fees (DIFs) necessary to fund those
required projects.
Council and City staff, responsible for providing services to a continually expanding residential
and business community, must recognize that the magnitude of the impact fees is a direct function
of the nearly $403.4 million cost of the capital projects identified in the Master Facilities Plan as
needed or required to accommodate new development. Regardless, anyone in the position of the
Council members may find themselves reluctant to adopt the impact fees merely because they
appear "too high". It is incumbent upon this Report and RCS Staff to convince the City Council
of the justification and importance of the proposed impact fees
The following Report calculates some new and a few updated impact fees for the City of
Huntington Beach based on the aforementioned changes and the City's changing requirements for
public safety, streets and signals, storm drainage and other quality of life facilities. The adoption
of the updated DIFs will enable this City Council, as well as succeeding Councils, to continue to
ensure that the City will be able to meet the basic infrastructure needs of new growth, without
unduly burdening the existing population and business community for these development-generated
capital costs.

Page 2 10/17/11 (amended 04/27/12) Letter to the Huntington Beach City Council and Staff
Adoption of the recommended impact fees contained herein and imposition upon the numerous
development opportunities in the City of Huntington Beach, would generate approximately $172.1
million in a combination of public improvement dedications and DIF revenues limited for use on
the many capital expansion projects deemed as development generated.
Existing Impact Fee Fund balances ($3.5 million) and other revenues sources ($23 0 million)
make up a significant amount of the difference between the capital total and the total revenue
sources. This leaves a shortfall of $204.8 million (95% of which is $194.4 million in unfunded
storm drainage projects). The identification of $403.4 million in capital needs mostly generated
by new development, is not to be taken lightly, but must be examined in perspective to the cost
of existing infrastructure, facilities, vehicles and equipment that a new development will share in
the use and enjoyment of upon City review, approval, construction and fmally, occupancy.
To offer such a perspective, a major element in this Report is a proportional analysis, or
comparison of what is being asked of future residents, in the form of dedicated public
improvements or an in-lieu (impact fee) payment, with the cost of the City's existing infrastructure
(land, facilities, and equipment), contributed by the existing population and business community.
The dedications, taxes and assessments contributed to date by the existing community over
numerous decades of development have generated just over $2.1 billion (at current replacement
costs) in infrastructure or capital improvements to the City of Huntington Beach. The following
table identifies those existing asset commitments (or equity if you will), by infrastructure.
HB -318-Item 5. - 241
Page 3 10/17/11 (amended 04/27/12) Letter to the Huntington Beach City Council and Staff
It is not intended for the recommended Development Impact Fee schedule to address all of the
City's capital needs, as identified on the various schedules in this Report. As per California
Goverment Code 66000 et. seq. and common fairness, development impact fees cannot address
current capital deficiencies. The proposed fees will recognize and meet the needs of the City's
growing population and business community. However, with the adoption of development impact
fees, other City discretionary revenue resources that may have been used to meet growth-generated
needs for expanded services and facilities will now be available for those accumulating
replacement and rehabilitation projects.
The information required to develop the City's capital costs and equity data was generated by the
Huntington Beach staff, without whose help and cooperation, this Report would have been
impossible to complete. The following management and support personnel were instrumental in
working with RCS staff to gather or generate the information and technical data so critically
necessary for the legal support of impact fees through the Master Facilities Plan and/or the
Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report. They are:

Page 4 10/17/11 (amended 04/27/12) Letter to the Huntington Beach City Council and Staff
The revisions are limited to merging what had been Chapter 8 (Community Use Facilities) and
Chapter 9 (Park Land and Park Facilities Development into one Chapter) merging both the
calculation and proposed capital projects. The companion Master Facilities Plan does the same by
merging the four Community Use Facilities projects into the Park Land Acquisition and Park
Facilities Development section. This was undertaken to provide the City greater flexibility to
address the City's capital project needs and priorities over time. The resulting impact fees did not
change beyond the reduction of a single dollar reduction for Attached Dwellings (due to rounding of
whole dollars). Schedule 2.1 the proposed Development Impact Fees will demonstrate this.
Without their hard work and willingness to provide the best data available, this Report could not
have been completed to the degree of accuracy and completeness that it has. I would like to
highlight the efforts of Bob Hall, Deputy City Manager for his efforts in generating timely responses
to RCS's many requests for critical information. The quality of information and resulting calculation
were directly improved by all of the participating staff member's efforts.
The Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report and the Ma4er Facilities Plan
appendix are now submitted for your review and consideration. RCS is prepared to assist in
increasing the Council's and community's understanding of this very significant part of the City's
revenue structure.
Sincerely,

Background and Introduction
The City of Huntington Beach has retained Revenue & Cost Specialists, L.L. C . to recalculate
some of the City's existing Development Impact Fee (henceforth occasionally referred to as DIFs)
schedules calculated at various points in time. Since that time, the City has experienced continued
development of vacant land within the City. There is no reason to believe that the remaining
undeveloped parcels will not also develop and underutilized parcels will redevelop, the current
temporary economic building climate not-with-standing. The periodic review and adjustment of
the Development Impact Fees that the City has committed to, are appropriate and warranted. Such
updates are necessary to insure that the City collects sufficient DIF revenues to construct or
acquire the additional infrastructure needed to accommodate new residents and businesses
developing in the City.
This DIF calculation effort that staff has undertaken results in a complete list of projects to be
financed by the recommended Development Impact Fee schedule.' The information contained in
the Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report and the accompanying Master
Facilities Plan (MFP) will allow the City Council to make more informed policy decisions. The
DIF/MFP also combine to provide greater understanding or the need by the development
community. It also provides an easier project tracking (and updating) system for the staff.
Proportional Analysis. For perspective on the total amount of the calculated DIFs this Report
includes a proportional analysis, or a comparison of the infrastructure identified as required to
accommodate continued development through General Plan build-out with that of the City's
existing infrastructure. This proportional analysis is intended to reconcile any difference between
the City's desired level-of-service (LOS) required of new development, per statements in the
various General Plan elements, with that of the de-facto or actual level of service currently
provided to the existing community. This addition will assist the Council in making many difficult
policy decisions regarding the required additions of new development and will also recognize
inter-generational equity along with common sense fairness.
Development Impact Fee Structure. The City's General Plan provides a range of potential
densities for residential development. The DIFs for residential uses need to be calculated on a per
dwelling unit basis to reflect more accurately the average impacts for a specific development. For
example, a parcel zoned for development as detached dwelling units may contain from three to six
units per acre. If fees are calculated on an acreage basis, the developer proposing three units per
acre will pay the same amount as a developer constructing six units per acre. Development impact
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report

Chapter One Background and Introduction
fees for business uses are calculated on a square footage basis for commercial, office and industrial
properties to reflect the impacts of different building intensities for this type of development. This
structure addresses the issue of building expansion or intensification of commercial, office and
industrial areas. For example, if a property owner of commercial, office or industrial property
proposes an expansion to his building, the question exists about how to charge this proposed
expansion for its impact on the City's streets, storm drainage system, and other infrastructures.
A fee calculated on a building square footage basis will simplify this calculation.
CALCULATION OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
In California, State legislation sets certain legal and procedural parameters for the charging of
these fees. This legislation was passed as AB 1600 by the California Legislature and is now
codified as California Government Code Sections 66000 through 66009. This section of State
Code became effective January 1, 1989.
AB1600 requires documentation of projects to be financed by Development Impact Fees prior to
their levy and collection, and that the monies collected actually be committed within five years to
a project of "direct benefit" to the development which paid the fees. Many states have such
controlling statutes.
Specifically, AB1600 requires the following:
1.Delineation of the PURPOSE of the (development impact) fee.
2.Determination of the USE of the (development impact) fee.
3.Determination of the RELATIONSHIP between the use of the public facilities and the
type of development paying the (development impact) fee.
4.Determination of the relationship between the NEED for the facility and the type of
development project.
5.Determination of the relationship between the AMOUNT of the fee and the COST of the
portion of the facility attributed to the specific development project.
This Report, with some additions, utilizes the basic methodology consistent with the above
requirements of AB 1600. Briefly, the following steps were undertaken in the calculation of impact
fees for the City and are listed following:
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 2
HB -323-Item 5. - 246
Chapter One Background and Introduction
1.Review the City's land use map and determine the existing mix of land uses
and amount of undeveloped and developed land. The magnitude of growth
and its impacts can thus be determined by considering this land use data
when planning an infrastructure required to support General Plan build-out.
This all-important inventory is summarized in Table 2-1 in Chapter 2 and
detailed in Appendix A.
2.Define the level of service needed within the General Plan area for each
project or acquisition identified as necessary. In some areas, certain
statistical measures are commonly used to measure or define an acceptable
level of service for a category of infrastructure. Street intersections, for
instance, are commonly rated based on a Level of Service scale of "A" to
"F" developed by transportation engineers. In some cases the identified
level of service required of development may exceed that of what the City
is currently providing. If so the reason must be explained and a
methodology identified for raising the existing community's level of service
without requiring new development to finance this increase.
3.Identify all additions to the capital facilities or equipment inventory
necessary to maintain the identified levels of service in the area. Then,
determine the cost of those additions.
4.Identify a level of responsibility of General Plan development, identifying
the relative need for the facility or equipment necessary to accommodate
additional growth as defined, and as opposed to current needs.
5.Distribute the costs identified as a result of development growth on a basis
of land use demand. Costs are distributed between each land use based on
their relative use, nexus or demand on that particular capital infrastructure
system. For example, future street costs were distributed to each land use
based on their trip generation characteristics (frequency and distance
creating daily trip-miles).

Chapter One Background and Introduction
OTHER ASSUMPTIONS OF THE REPORT
In addition to the land use assumptions contained in the next Chapter of this Report, other
important assumptions of this study include the following:
Land Costs. Cost estimates for land acquisition were developed after discussions with City
officials. Arguments for higher or lower costs can be made. However, the Report contains land
costs (per acre) which are estimated to be the most appropriate figures for purposes of this study.
PROPORTIONALITY TEST
A test for proportionality is important, if for no other reason, than because it attempts to identify
and achieve community inter-generational equity, i.e., fairness in balancing the infrastructure
investment made by existing residents and businesses with the investment asked of new residents
and businesses that will benefit from the existing infrastructure. In short, previous generations
of businesses and residents have contributed to the development of the City's existing
infrastructure and this fact should be recognized by future residents and businesses by contributing
a like amount (but no more than) toward completing the various infrastructure systems. Mere
replacements or the elimination of an existing deficiency cannot be required of new development.
It is one thing to identify the many public improvement projects needed through build-out. It is
an entirely different thing to assume that all of the identified improvements are required to meet
the demands of the new development. Clearly, some projects are replacements of the existing
infrastructure while others are capacity increasing projects. Within the category of the latter, they
may also be further classified into two categories;
1. Projects dealing with existing deficiencies, i.e., projects required regardless of whether
there is additional development or not. An example' would be a traffic intersection
currently controlled by stop signs that currently meets traffic warrants for a traffic signal,
but is unfunded. However, some portion of that signal may be appropriate for impact fee
financing. Another example would be the replacement of an existing but aged facility that
creates no more capacity, but is merely the replacement of that same capacity.
1 Projects that are required as a result of development. An example of this would be a signal
that is currently controlled quite adequately by stop signs, but because of development in
the near and "downstream" areas, will ultimately need to be signalized.
All impact fee calculations claim to be fair. Government Code §66000 (also referred to as
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 4
HB -325-Item 5. - 248
Chapter One Background and Introduction
AB 1600) takes only two pages of text to describe the findings that development impact fees must
adequately make, but does not explain specifically how to do so. Most DIF calculations will
identify the desired or needed capital projects, ostensibly required as a result of the new
development. Therefore, what is fair and equitable? Is it fair to require future residents and
businesses in a city to construct, via payment of impact fees, a new Police Station when the current
station is merely rented or leased space? On the other hand, if a community already has all of the
water utility system they will need at build-out, are they precluded from imposing an impact fee
to recoup some of that expenses incurred in the construction of the maximum needed water utility
improvements prior to need for the maximum demand? These are difficult questions that may be
made clearer and easier by reviewing the following examples.
Comparison of Needed Infrastructure with Existing Infrastructure. The answer to these difficult
questions may best be answered by comparing various infrastructure scenarios. This can be
accomplished by looking closely at our friends in the planned community of Happy Valley 3 for a
few scenarios to explain the three possible conditions that can occur regarding the agency's current
infrastructure and the demand upon them. We will use the provision of fire protection, a service
that most of us as nonprofessional fire fighters can somewhat understand. These three
"conditions" include that the fire suppression system infrastructure construction has:
1.been On-target.
2.been Deficient. Or;
3.created Excess Service Capacity.
Adoption of a Standard - According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a
standard two-bay fire station (estimated for purposes of this example to cost about $3,000,000)
can meet the needs of roughly 5,000 homes or 10,000,000 square feet of business pad. If these
standards were adopted as Happy Valley's public safety element of the City's General Plan, they
would be known as the demure or stated (or desired) standard (i.e., the standard the community
would like to meet). This fee would be referred to as the General Plan Build-out Need-based
Development Impact Fee. The inductive development impact fees (or cost per proportional unit
served) for this de jure standard would then be:

Background and IntroductionChapter One
Service Base - Happy Valley's General Plan indicates that at General Plan build-out there will be
10,000 residential units and about 20,000,000 square feet of commercial/office/industrial space
creating a need for four stations at build-out. The station calculation is as follows:
Table 1-2
Determination of Required Number of Stations
The infrastructure is "On-target" - The need for four stations appears simple and the Happy
Valley Council need only impose the impact fees identified in Table 1-1. Currently, Happy Valley
has 6,250 residential units and 7,500,000 square feet of commercial/industrial building pad and
is half "built-out" (in terms of fire calls for service). In this example, existing development within
Happy Valley is generating half of the ultimate (General Plan build-out) fire calls-for-service.
This is demonstrated in Table 1-3 following:
Table 1-3
Development of Current Infrastructure is "On-Target"
Conversely, Happy Valley has the remaining half of its fire demand (in terms of calls-for-service)

If the earlier calculated impact fees ($600 per residence and $0.30 per square foot of business pad)
were adopted and imposed, Happy Valley would collect (by General Plan build-out) enough capital
revenues to construct the remaining two stations and proportionality between existing and future
residents and businesses would be evident. Table 1-5 following demonstrates this:

Chapter One Background and Introduction
The infrastructure is in Deficient Condition - Consider, however, the implications if the current
Happy Valley residents and businesses had shown the earlier limited commitment to contribute
only enough financing to construct one station when, based upon their own adopted standards and
level of development, they should have two stations? Clearly three more stations would be needed
on the path to General Plan "build-out." The possibility of requiring the remaining future home
and business owners to finance all three remaining stations would be completely inequitable. But
would it be fair and equitable to charge new residents the $600 per home and new businesses the
$0.30 per business square foot in order to acquire the remaining two stations required to meet the
NFPA standards required of the new development?
The simple and direct answer is probably not. With only one station constructed at half build-out,
the Happy Valley community has not demonstrated to a proportional commitment to meeting the
NFPA standards, and as a result would not have a strong case to assert that others who build later
need to contribute toward the construction of multiple (two) fire stations at a higher service rate
by including the "missing" second station. The problem is in trying to identify a municipal
revenue source imposed only on the existing development. Simply, there is none. Soon as a
business pays its impact fees, constructs, that business becomes part of the existing community.
The service provided by the single existing station is the community's de facto (or "in fact")
standard service level. In short, it is difficult (but possible) to claim that a higher level of service
is required of new development when the City is somehow getting by with a lower level of service.
With one station, the contributed equity to build the single station would be half of the impact fee
proposed in Table 1-1, or $300/residential unit and $0.15/square foot of business space
respectively (See Table 1-6, following).
Table 1-6

Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 8
HB -329-Item 5. - 252
Chapter One Background and Introduction
If Happy Valley has only built one station at half General Plan build-out, we would be forced to
conclude that the City is currently deficient by one station (or 50% of the amount required). If
the future residents were asked to pay at a rate that would build two stations (the $600/$0.30 rates)
the City would have three stations at General Plan build-out, one financed and built by the first
half of the community, and two financed and built by the second half of the community
Considering that the fire department will respond to all calls-for-service within the entire
community from one of the three completed fire stations, the first half of the community would,
in effect "inherit" one half of a station at no cost to themselves. In short, Happy Valley would fail
the proportionality test. The inequity would then be exacerbated when the community decides to
build the final "missing" last (fourth) station from a Citywide assessment or from annual General
Fund receipts, paid for by the entire community, including those who just paid for the two new
stations via the adopted fire impact fees.
The only equitable option is for the City to adopt impact fees at the $300/residence and
$0.15/square foot rates. Adoption of this fee would be referred to as the Current Community
Financial Commitment or Investment-based Impact Fees. Admittedly, the City will go further
into a deficit position in terms of the number of required stations, from being deficient by one
station at half General Plan build-out to a deficiency of two stations at General Plan build-out, but
the deficiency (or proportionality) would remain a constant 50% of the stations needed at either
point in time. The community, if they are truly serious about meeting the NFPA recommended
Level of Service (or standard), would then need to assess the entire community to raise the needed
money in some fashion for financing the remaining two stations either in the form of an assessment
or dedication of general receipts of the City.
The Infrastructure has "Excess Capacity" - One final but important scenario remains and must
be considered. In this scenario the existing residents of Happy Valley were the industrious sort
and (at half General Plan build-out) had constructed three stations when they were at the point
when they only needed two stations. Clearly there is excess capacity in each of the three existing
stations. In this case, the Happy Valley's current de facto standard would be well above the de-
jure or target standard. Statistically, each of the three stations would have 1/3 excess capacity (for
providing services) and should be busy only about two-thirds of the time. Should the impact fee
be limited only to the marginal $300 per residence and $0.15 per square foot for business space
required to construct the one remaining required station or should the City be able to recover the
costs for the existing capacity in the three stations through a recoupment impact fee? If so, the
future residents receive a gift of the extra (third) station. If the excess capacity was recognized
at the time the facilities were constructed and the excess capacity was identified for future use,
there will be tough decisions ahead to be made by the Happy Valley City Council.

HB -330-Item 5. - 253
Chapter One Background and Introduction
General Plan Build-out Needs-based Development Impact Fees or Recoupment Fee? The Happy
Valley City Council should adopt, at a minimum, the $300/residence and $0.15/square foot
business space rates to insure that the fourth station would be built. Again, referred to as the
General Plan Build-out Needs-based impact fees. This would be a benevolent gesture, giving the
new residents a free ride on the cost of the (already built and paid for) third station.
Or in the alternative, the Council can recognize that the $3,000,000 used to build the third station
was a loan from the existing community's General Fund receipts, and should be repaid by the
future community receiving an instantaneous level of fire protection the day they receive their
occupancy permit', through the imposition and collection of impact fees.' In this case, the
$600/residence and $0.30/square foot of business space impact fees should be adopted, imposed
and collected. The impact fee would accumulate $6,000,000 through build-out, with $3,000,000
required to repay the General Fund in delayed revenue (for Station #3) and $3,000,000 necessary
to construct the fourth station. This would be referred to as a Recoupment-based Fee at General
Plan build-out. More important, long term equity at General Plan built-out would be achieved as
each home and business would have contributed the same $600 per residence and $0.30 per square
foot. This situation is usually fairly limited and should be supported by the appropriate element
of General Plan.
Exceptions to Proportionality Test. The previous discussion applies particularly well to above
ground or capacity-based services such as community use centers, pools, police and fire stations,
civic centers, maintenance yards or other fixed location and finite capacity facilities that serve the
entire population. However, it does not necessarily work well on ground level or below system
infrastructures such as streets, utilities, and storm drainage, where the continuation of a deficient
system into the future is not at all possible and the lack of additions would ensure the complete
inability to approve any further private construction without creating unsafe conditions to a
specific area. As an example, if the agency's storm drainage system is currently deficient and
creates some period flooding but not necessarily in dangerous amounts, the agency may not be able
to approve and allow any more future development unless the storm drainage runoff created by
the new development, is properly collected and released at a river or flood control channel.
Additionally, a currently deficient water system, i.e. , one with only the most minimal of
distribution pipes, may not be able to serve any more future development without a substantial
increase in the capacity of the water distribution system. However, a water utility with users rates
can increase existing user fees to eliminate any existing deficiencies.
Specific Plan or Benefit to a Specific Area. An additional exception occurs when the need or
benefit from a specific facility is generated by a finite or easily defined area such as a specific plan
or a new area of the agency that is significantly outside of the existing agency's urban in-fill
service area or the specific plan is primarily the sole beneficiary of the infrastructure to be
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 10
HB -331-Item 5. - 254
Chapter One Background and Introduction
constructed. An example may be a small area of the City, proposed for say 2,000 homes, but
separate from the rest of the City in such a way that, to meet the General Plan's stated fire
suppression standard level of service of a five minute response time, it requires a separate fire
station but serving less than any of the other stations, which on average serve 5,000 homes. There
is little argument as to why the remaining residents and businesses should not need to finance that
higher cost per home served. This is common in an area geographically separated from the
major, or urban part of the community. An example would be a small area separated by a river
or up on a hillside or in a canyon. These areas may need facilities specific to that area that are of
little or no benefit to the rest of the community, such a bridge across a river that only benefits
those live or work across the river.
Density may also be a factor. Fire infrastructure system improvements to date may be spread over
a more compact density (say 4-5 homes per acre) than the remaining development in town (say 2-3
homes per acre). The fire system infrastructure costs per residential dwelling for a lower density
area will likely be higher than a more compact area with a higher dwelling density.
Public Utilities. The treatment for municipal utilities is particularly clear in that the utility's
operating and capital funds do not receive any General Fund financial support and they do not
typically charge stand-by fees to vacant property. This means that the entire utility system has
been supported only by what are called utility user fees (payments by the utility's customers). Or
stated in another way, it is user-financed. In many cases the utility may have significant extra
capacity because most infrastructures cannot be expanded in small defined portions that exactly
match the pace of new development. An example would water reservoirs which are generally
expanded on 1.0 million gallon portions, not 1,000 gallons at a time. To an individual user who
has been contributing to the existing system over a period of time, it would appear quite fair for
this excess capacity to be "purchased" for by new users that connect to the system who will benefit
from the excess capacity has been constructed and identified. This holds particularly true for the
purchase of water shares required for future water users.
A water distribution system may also have significant distribution system capacity to reach homes
and businesses in more outlying areas. RCS recently worked with a city where the existing water
users, currently representing some 55% of the water use demand at General Plan build-out, had
already constructed nearly 70% of the General Plan build-out water system. The 15% difference
amounted to just more than $7.0 million. Should any excess capacity paid for by existing users
be a gift to the future users? Government Code §66000 et. seq. appears to prevent the city from
trying to recoup the costs of the excess capacity purchased by the current users that will be the
direct benefit of future users. Some excess capacity can and should be identified wherever
possible, and recovered, providing that was identified as necessary for future development at the
time it is created.° The excess capacity must be identified in terms of "existing project segment"
and how it will benefit the future users must be identified.
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 11
HB -332-Item 5. - 255
Chapter One Background and Introduction
Such equity is the attempt of this Report. Excess capacity is often difficult to identify and even
more difficult to convince others of. The City is probably much like Happy Valley, with excess
or overcapacity in some areas of the infrastructure, and perhaps slightly deficient' in others, as you
will see in the remainder of the Report.
OTHER ISSUES
Some members of the building industry have claimed that the addition of impact fees unfairly
creates an inflated resale price for existing homes. The argument is that if the public agency
adopts a development impact fee of $20,000 to $25,000 per detached dwelling home, then the
price for an existing home is artificially increased by that same amount. We will use the example
of detached dwelling at a construction cost of $200,000 to complete to a point that the occupancy
permit is approved.
Full Cost of a Residential Dwelling. The $200,000 represents only the above ground cost's
construction. The true and actual cost of a new dwelling unit consists of the cost of acquiring the
parcel, necessary government approvals and permits, construction supplies, labor, debt service
on the above, on-site' public improvements, and
The hidden cost of extending public services 9 to that home.
The costs of extending public services includes (but is not limited to):
•The addition of law enforcement personnel requiring the expansion of the police
station and response vehicles
•Additional fire stations and response vehicles.
•Widening of arterial and collector roads.
•Additional capacity in downstream storm drainage pipes.
•Additions to water delivery capability, including source, treatment, storage and
delivery.
•Additions to the sewage capability, including collection, treatment and disposal.
•Additions to the maintenance capabilities (i.e., municipal corporation yard and
maintenance vehicles) necessary to maintain the above added infrastructure.
•Additional parks, library, and public meeting space for recreational/social
purposes.
Thus while the cost of constructing the above ground portion of a detached dwelling may be
$325,000, the "downstream" costs identified above may be in the area of $20,000 to $30,000 per
detached dwelling or in the area of 6% to 9% % of the above ground cost.
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 12
HB -333-Item 5. - 256
Chapter One Background and Introduction
As an example, imagine a 2,800 square foot home, costing $325,000 to construct the above
ground structure, located in the middle of an empty square mile, no roads, no utility service, no
public safety response, no flood control and no recreational facilities. What is the market value
of this home? Probably not even the $325,000 that it cost to construct the structure. The $25,000
development impact fee for all the infrastructures needed to support that one home, now seems like
a relative bargain.
Thus, the true and complete cost of a new detached dwelling is the cost of building the structure
and the cost of extending the municipal services to the home regardless of who pays for the actual
costs of extending those services. To some degree these service-related infrastructure costs have
been recognized. The only question remaining is, who should for pay the required improvements,
existing or new residents?
Affect on Market Price. Again, let us assume that a cumulative $25,000 impact fee imposed upon
new detached dwelling construction increases the market price of an existing detached dwelling.
This additional amount is the recognition that the existing detached dwelling already has those
physical links to the municipal services and thus has that value. A slightly different way of
looking at this argument is that each existing detached dwelling has a "share" in a municipal
corporation l ° and that share is valued at the cost of the connections to the various municipal
utilities, circulation system, flood protection and public safety.
CHAPTER ORGANIZATION
Chapters three through six will have three fee cost/fee tables. These four chapters include:
Identification of Projects and Cost Allocation - This schedule identifies the various projects that
the infrastructure manager has identified as required prior to General Plan build-out. These
projects may be necessary in part or fully to accommodate new development. This schedule will
identify the cost of the project and the portion of the project identified as resulting from new
development.
General Plan Build-out Needs-based Development Impact Fee - This table will identify the set
of impact fees that would need to be adopted to meet the basic, or marginal needs, capital needs
identified in the Report. Adoption of this level of impact fees would allow City officials to claim
that new development is being approved and constructed without any additional cost to the
existing residents and businesses. You could not, however, claim that new development is paying
its "fair share."
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 13
HB -334-Item 5. - 257
Chapter One Background and Introduction
Existing Financial Commitment or Equity-based Proportionality Test Fees - This table will
identify the cost (in current nominal dollar value) of the existing infrastructure, including land,
physical improvements and capital equipment. This is the average amount "invested" by the
existing community of residents and businesses. This equity will be expressed in terms of the cost
to construct or acquire the assets at current costs.
If the average "equity" (for a detached dwelling for example) on this Table is greater then the
average cost on the previous General Plan Build-out Needs-based impact fee Table, the
infrastructure system is "front-ended" or has excess capacity. Stated slightly differently, the
existing community has put more of the system into place than would be required of the remaining
unbuilt portions of the community, (as they build). In effect, the existing community has advanced
money to build capacity into the infrastructure system to meet the needs of residents and
businesses not yet there! A good example of a front-ended system is the scenario where the City
of Happy Valley had already built three fire stations while it only had the current actual demands
for two stations.
If the Existing Commitment-based impact fees are less than the General Plan Build-out Needs-
based impact fee, we must conclude that existing community may not have contributed the amount
of equity that they have needed to and that the construction of a needed infrastructure to support
that municipal service has been lagging and is deficient. When this occurs, the Existing
Community Financial Commitment or Investment-based development impact fees may act as a
ceiling or upper limit of the development impact fees.
A good example of a deficient system is the scenario where the City of Happy Valley had only
built one fire station while it had current actual demands for two stations. In short, if the existing
community has not been inclined to construct an infrastructure system proportionally as the
community developed, what basis does the community have to require those future residents to
invest more, thus by eliminating to some degree, the deficiencies created by the existing
community? The answer is, there can be no such rational argument. To adopt the General Plan
Build-out Needs-based impact fees, under these circumstances, would be an unfair attempt to
eliminate the existing deficiency on the back of new development. Adoption of the Existing
Commitment-based impact fees, under these circumstances, would allow City officials to claim that
new development is not being required to pay to eliminate existing deficiencies.

Demographics and Findings
This Chapter provides an inventory of developed and undeveloped (and under-developed) land
within the City. The City, surprisingly, still possesses areas of vacant land zoned for residential
and business uses.
LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS
This Report contains an inventory of developed land and land with remaining development
opportunities within Huntington Beach boundaries. The undeveloped land inventory columns form
the base for distribution of the estimated infrastructure costs required to extend the existing levels
of service to the new development. The developed land inventory also forms the base for
distributing the cost of the existing infrastructure for comparison and for the de-facto identification
of the existing levels of service (LOS) provided by those existing infrastructures. Table 2-1
below, summarizes the inventory of all private land uses contained within the current City limits.
They are based upon General Plan data, Orange County projections, City records and a staff
analysis of only privately held parcels.' Some of the vacant parcels have vested rights and would
have the existing impact fees imposed. The acreage and unit data are detailed in Appendix A.

Land Use Definitions. This Report classifies properties as either one of three residential land uses
or two different categories of commercial/industrial development. These land uses are defined
below2:
Residential Land Uses:
•Detached Dwelling Residential - This category of land use is generally found in
the City's General Plan designations of RL (Residential Low Density) and RM
(Residential Medium Density).
•Attached Dwelling Residential - This category of land use is generally found in
the City s General Plan designations of RM (Residential Medium Density), RMH
(Residential Medium High Density) and RH (Residential High Density).
•Mobile Home Residential - This category of land use is generally found in any of
the City's residential General Plan designations as noted above. With the more
frequent replacement of a manufactured dwelling unit on an existing mobile home
pad, it is important to note that such a replacement is not a development impact fee
event. It is merely a replacement of an existing structure thus the demand already
exists. No additional mobile home (or modular) units in private park like settings
is are anticipated. However, one acre has been included in the calculations in order
to calculate a development impact fee for that use should such an application be
filed.
Business/Commerce Land Uses:
•Hotel/Motel Lodging - This category identifies the hotel and motel commercial
lodging units and is generally found in the City's General Plan designations of CV
(Commercial Visitor) and CG (Commercial General). It is limited to commercial
lodging that is two stories or less and does not have an inordinate amount of
meeting space.
•Resort Lodging - This is a recognition that in terms of commercial lodging, a
resort facility, with more intensive banquets or convention space, most likely will
incur differing municipal service demands than that of a typical hotel/motel facility.
It is also generally found in the City's General Plan designation of CV
(Commercial Visitor). Resort lodging has been defined as three stories or higher
with significant amounts of square feet with which to accommodate large events
such as conventions, business sessions and weddings, thus having a large drive-in
population that does not necessarily stay at the facility overnight.

HB -338-Item 5. - 261
Chapter 2 Demographics and Findings
•Commercial Uses - As utilized in this Report, Commercial uses include the general
category of retail services and thus includes outlets ranging from restaurants to auto
repair shops to shopping centers. This category is generally found in the City's
General Plan designations of CN (Commercial Neighborhood), CO (Commercial
Office), CG (Commercial General)), CR (Commercial Regional), and CV
(Commercial Visitor). It would encompass all office uses.
•Industrial Uses - This category contains all businesses generally found in the
City's General Plan designation of I (Industrial).
Definitions of Land Use Status. Each of the major land use categories detailed above is
categorized as either Developed or Net Increase. Definitions are as follows:
Developed Acreage - Includes land in the City which is fully developed and, or land which has
received a building permit but which is not yet constructed. Acreage in this category may also
include non-conforming use areas of the City which contain extensive development prior to
annexation or before changes to the General Plan were made. City staff has also included
projections regarding properties which are currently classified as "Developed" but which may
undergo redevelopment in the future. In fact, most of the development increases within the
Beach/Edinger Specific Plan Corridor and Downtown Specific Plan areas consist of redevelopment
of existing uses.
Net Increase Acreage - (Intensified/Redeveloped/or acreage available for development or
redevelopment) - Refers to all non-public vacant acreage located within the City. This category
also includes any parcels that may currently be partially developed but may have capacity for
redevelopment.
Table 2-2, following, provides a summary of the detailed land use inventory, limited to privately
held property more detailed on Table 2-1. Staff's land use inventory reveals that there are
approximately 10,271.80 acres of privately-held developed land within the City's planning
boundaries. There remain approximately 661.90 acres of vacant or land available to be
redeveloped (and thus increased in terms of demand) in the City. Available (undeveloped land or
available for redevelopment) land represents approximately 6.0% of the total 10,933.7 privately
held acres within the City of Huntington Beach. Undeveloped parcels to be developed as detached
dwellings constitute the greatest amount (at 2.7%) of available acreage of all the land uses.

Summary of Undeveloped and Developed Acreage
(1) Only 34 of the 295 acres are vacant lots. The remaining 261 acres represents the subdivided acres necessary
for the addition of 1,566 detached units (on their own lots) in areas already developed such as a lot split of a larger
parcel with an existing detached dwelling unit. See Appendix A for greater detail.
General Plan Build-out is defined as that point in time when most if not all of the City's privately
owned land is developed at maximum levels allowed by the City's General Plan.
Commercial/Industrial Development. In order to assess the costs of impact for commercial or
industrial building intensification or building expansions, this Report includes a calculation of
impact fees both on a per square foot basis for commercial and industrial development. In order
to accomplish this, City Planning staff provided the typical maximum square feet of building
allowable by the City's General Plan on a net acre of land. This percentage is sometimes referred
to as the maximum Floor Area Ratio (or FAR), as shown following:
Commercial/Office Development - 15,246 G.S.F. per Acre (about 35% F.A.R.)
Industrial Development - 21,390 G.S.F. per Acre (about 50% F.A.R.)

Chapter 2 Demographics and Findings
POPULATION PROJECTIONS
A second component in determining the magnitude of impact of future development and the
necessary facilities needed to mitigate that impact is a realistic assessment of the build-out
population of the City. Many of the facilities contained in this Report are sized according to the
estimated population at theoretical "build-out" or upon service levels which are based in part upon
an estimation of the population to be served. Library facilities, parks and recreation facilities and
community center facilities and equipment are examples of cost areas which rely heavily on
population projections to determine space and facility needs. Park standards are usually stated in
terms of the number of acres of park land per 1,000 persons, for instance.
There are at least two generally accepted methods for projecting future population levels in a City:
(1) past growth trends projected forward and (2) population holding capacity based on the General
Plan land-use element. Each of these methods can be useful even though both possess certain
limitations.
There are several serious flaws in projecting the build-out population of a community using the
past growth trend methodology. While this method is relatively simple and therefore easy for the
general public to understand, it does not give consideration to when an area is actually built out.
Eventually there comes a point in time where the amount of available land to build on is
negligible. This technique does not help explain when that point is reached.
Also, the past growth trend approach is not sensitive to policy changes made by Council or land
use issues contained in the City's General Plan. For these reasons, this technique is more useful
in projecting short-term population levels and should not be used to forecast the built-out
population of an area.
This Report relies on the methodology of holding-capacity, (described in the following section),
to project future service levels and facility requirements.
Holding Capacity Analysis. The methodology used in this Report to forecast the built-out
population of City of Huntington Beach is the current holding capacity approach. This method
calculates the sum of existing development and potential development allowable under current land
use regulations, using average densities found in the City.
The first step in projecting the City's population using the holding capacity approach is to
inventory the remaining undeveloped acres within the City limits, which was previously
accomplished in Tables 2-1 and 2-2 of this Chapter. The next step is to estimate the potential
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 20
HB -341-Item 5. - 264
Chapter 2 Demographics and Findings
dwelling units allowed per acre and then multiply the potential number of units by the average
number of residents per unit.
Table 2-3, on the following page, projects the additional number of dwelling units and potential
population for the City of City of Huntington Beach through build-out. The number of potential
new dwelling units was calculated by multiplying the amount of vacant acreage for each land use
zone by the average densities (i.e., number of units allowed per acre) indicated in the City's
General Plan.
The number of persons per unit for new residential units is based on the 2000 U.S. Census and
ranges from 2.913 and 1.822 persons for detached dwelling units and mobile home dwelling units
respectively to 2.257 persons for attached dwelling units. Based on these assumptions, future
residential development is expected to generate approximately 17,089 additional residents 3 to City
of Huntington Beach, joining the approximately 190,377 citizens already living in City. This
results in a total estimated population at General Plan build-out of roughly 207,221 residents .4
The estimated General Plan build-out population of approximately 207,221 residents using this
holding capacity approach is typically lower than the population forecasts based on the
mathematical models described previously. This implies either that the City's period of residential
build-out will actually be shorter than the 10 years indicated above or that the City's growth rate
will decline from historical levels. This latter scenario is probably more likely to occur. As the
residentially zoned land within the City's limits remaining to be developed continues to be
developed during the next ten to twenty years, the City is likely to see fewer new dwelling units
developed each year.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
City staff identified just under $403.4 million in needed and desired capital improvement projects
required through the City's General Plan build-out, including both projects related to existing
deficiencies and those needed solely to support future growth. The adoption of the recommended
maximum impact fees supported by the calculations in this Report (Schedule 2.1) would finance
about 42.6% of the needed capital facilities by raising some $172.1 million. Existing fund
balances of $3.6 will finance roughly 0.9% of the capital needs. Other sources, primarily existing
agreements or intergovernmental support will finance about $23.0 million or 5.7%. Other capital
revenue sources will need to be pursued for the remaining unfunded $204.8 million through build-
out (50.8%). Roughly 95 %(or $194.4 million) of the $204.8 million represents unfunded storm
drainage projects that may never come to fruition.
Based on these costs and the schedules found at the end of each of the remaining chapters of this
Report, costs attributable to future development were derived on a per unit basis for residential
land uses and on a per square foot of pad basis for commercial and industrial land uses. Schedule
2.1, found at the end of this Chapter, provides a summary detail of the maximum DIFs for each
type of infrastructure and land use category. The fees are summarized in Table 2-4, following:

Chapter 2 Demographics and Findings
Specific impact fee rates for each land use can be found at the end of each chapter relating to each
infrastructure. Schedule 2.1 at the end of this Chapter also identifies the probable impact fee
revenue, the capital cost total and the difference, by individual infrastructure type (e.g., fire).
Given the magnitude of the City's project list, vis-a-vis the proposed list of projects, and the lack
of previous findings regarding any excess capacity, there is no potential for recoupment of the
costs of previous development-generated capital projects (excess capacity) as was described in
Chapter One. Additionally, the detail of the existing value of the various systems, does not
approach the level of accuracy required to adopt a recoupment style impact fee. The recommended
Development Impact Fees are those indicated following in Schedule 2.1.
STRUCTURE OF THIS REPORT
The following chapters of this Report contain the detailed information relative to the calculation
of DIFs recommended by RCS for the entire City. Appropriate textual explanations are contained
in each chapter, with a chapter devoted to each of the nine sets of DIF cost schedules, listed below

Chapter 3
Law Enforcement Facilities, Vehicles, and Equipment
The Existing System (or the infrastructure). The Police Department currently operates out of the
78,700 square foot facilities at the Civic Center on Main Street and the 7,050 square foot 5' Street
Substation. These combined 85,780 square feet of the two facilities provide roughly 365 square
feet per each of the 235 sworn (budget approved) officers. The facility meet's current needs but
will not likely accommodate the space needs required for the additional officers necessary to
accommodate the additional calls-for-service generated by new development at General Plan build-
out, Certainly not at the same standards of service afforded to existing development. The
Department will need to hire additional officers to maintain the existing levels of law enforcement
services and the current static facility will ultimately prove insufficient to house the entire staff at
General Plan build-out. An expansion of the City-owned facility will need to occur before General
Plan build-out to allow the City to accommodate that new development. Due to size limitations
of the current police station parcels, it may be difficult to enlarge the current buildings at either
of the existing sites.
The existing facility space would cost approximately $53,423,178 to acquire at current land
acquisition and construction costs. Additionally, the Department has a response fleet consisting
of 231 vehicles installed with significant, and costly, amounts of sophisticated equipment costing
some $12,640,310 to replace. The 235 General Fund-supported sworn officers are each assigned
equipment such as various leathers, armaments, clothing, radios, protective vests, safety apparel
costing an average of $9,930 per sworn officer for a total of $2,155,801 for the 235 current
officers. The final key asset is the estimated $3,027,410 in law enforcement specialty equipment.
These assets, totaling some $71,246,699, represent the cumulative commitment of the cumulative
City Councils (and community) to the Police Department standards of service as supported by Law
Enforcement Facilities, Vehicles and Equipment infrastructure.

Residents/ businesses benefit from law enforcement services in three ways: directly, indirectly and
through standby availability. Direct services are those involving an actual unit response, usually
as a result of being the victim of a crime or other emergency situation. Direct service results in
the form of a law enforcement officer directly contacting the victim. Indirect benefits, such as
crime prevention programs, free patrol time and other more general services that serve all, are
benefits that are more difficult to calculate. As an example, the burglar that is arrested today in
some neighbors home, may have broken into your home tomorrow. Most residents and businesses
may go for many years before ever requiring a direct call-for-service. These fortunate residents
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 27
HB -348-Item 5. - 271
Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities, Vehicles and Equipment
and businesses still benefit for law enforcement services, if in no other way, than in the security
that a law enforcement officer is available, through adequate planned stand-by, to respond if you
require public safety assistance.
Everyone benefits from stand-by capabilities, which is just the fact that law enforcement services
are simply there, staffed, trained, equipped and available to respond as they are needed. Sworn
law enforcement officials are the first responders to emergency problems that can occur to anyone.
They are trained to act and solve just about any law enforcement problem that might occur. The
concept of stand-by service is similar to stand-by water service. Consider owning a vacant lot not
requiring water service, regardless of the fact that others have built a functional water system near
your vacant lot. At some point in time, that vacant lot is developed and needs a water meter and
water service. Because of the forethought of others, the water service is available when the lot
is developed. One may not feel they need law enforcement services, but some day they will, and
because of the foresight of others, the service capability will be available.
The addition of new residential units and new businesses will increase the demand upon the law
enforcement capacity to serve by creating more direct calls-for-service, more areas requiring
preventive patrol, and in general, more opportunities for crimes to be committed.
The development of vacant parcels into residential or business units will also generate more calls.
Residents and business-owners occupying those residences and businesses will create the increase
in law enforcement calls-for-service. Simply stated, more homes and businesses will mean more
responses to the additional burglaries, domestic disputes, noise complaints, shoplifting, and
miscellaneous incidents that will occur in the new homes and businesses.
If the Law Enforcement capabilities (the base) are not expanded, then any increasing number of
calls-for-service from development (the rate) will reduce the amount or free hours available for
preventive patrol. This inability to expand the capabilities would ultimately drive the Department
fully into a reactionary mode.
Table 3-1, following, summarizes an analysis of the calls-for-service received by the Police
Department in recent twelve month period.' The table indicates the breakdown of calls into the
land uses that generated them and divides them by the number of developed units (during the same
period). This process generates a calls-for-service factor for the various land-uses.

Law Enforcement Calls-for-Service Generated by Land Use (2009)
The table above representing the 59,479 annual police calls-for-service to privately-held developed
parcels within the City's limits (for a recent twelve months reporting periods), identifies the
differing demand caused by the differing land uses. As an example, there were approximately
13,185 calls-for-service requiring a response to one of the 38,616 existing detached dwellings in
the City (during the twelve month sample). The result indicates that each residential detached
dwelling unit will statistically generate just slightly more than one third of a call-for-service per
year,2 on average. The same analysis was undertaken for the other seven land uses. Obviously
there are calls to incidents on publicly owned roads and right-of-way, in parks and other publicly
held parcels, these calls represent approximately 3% of the annual calls-for-service. Calls-for-
service to resort lodging facilities, typically larger than hotel/motel facilities (defined as three
stories or more) have been separated in order to generate a more relevant calls-for-service rate for
each of the two differing types of temporary lodging. Resort facilities have been shown to
generate more calls-for-service, most likely due to their convention and banquet facilities.
However, any such resorts constructed in the future would also have such amenities.
The annual calls-for-service was responded to by one of the City's existing 235 sworn officers
establishing an average of about 260.79 calls-for-service per sworn officer annually.'

HB -350-Item 5. - 273
Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities, Vehicles and Equipment
Average Demand as Determined by Calls-for-Service. The calls-for-service ratios are on-average,
that is to say that not every detached dwelling unit will generate 0.341 annual calls-for-service.
Since they are statistically representative of averages of how calls-for-service are generated in City
of Huntington Beach, they can be used to project the number of additional law enforcement calls-
for-service that can be expected at General Plan build-out. This process is accomplished by
multiplying the average calls-for-service rate, per Table 3-1, by the number of anticipated
additional residential dwellings or business square feet per Table 2-1. The result is approximately
8,697 additional annual calls-for-service at General Plan build-out. The number of additional
officers necessary to meet the anticipated (net) additional 8,697 annual calls-for-service from
future development (8,448 from development and 249 from public rights-of-way) is then divided
by the average number of calls-for-service capacity that an officer currently responds to (or 260.79
per year per officer). This process indicates that an additional thirty-three sworn police officers
will be necessary to accommodate the anticipated new development at the current standards of
service provided to the existing community. Or in the contrary, without the doubling of the Police
staff, the City would experience a roughly 14.2% reduction in the standards-of-service at General
Plan build-out, as defined by the ability to respond to calls-for-service.
Information from Table 3-1 and Table 2-1 (Land-use Database) has been used to determine how
many additional officers will be required at build-out. By multiplying the demand rate for
detached dwelling units (0.341 calls-for-service per unit) times the 1,749 anticipated detached
dwelling units to be constructed through General Plan build-out, the City could expect an
additional 597.2 annual calls-for-service. The total 8,697 additional calls-for-service, (8,448 from
development and 249 from the public beach area from all land-uses (and rights-of-way) divided
by roughly 260.79 calls per officer per year indicates the need for thirty-three additional officers
to be able to accommodate the additional calls generated by the new development at General Plan
build-out without diminishing the existing standards of coverage to the existing community to do
so. Table 3-2 identifies the calls-for-service anticipated for each of the seven major land uses.

Additional Law Enforcement Calls (rounded)
Generated by New Development, by Land Use
NOTES: (1) Development of these types of units is not anticipated. One acre of units is included for calculation purposes..
Cumulatively, an additional (rounded) calls-for-service would be expected at General Plan build-
out. It is important to note that the additional of the thirty-three officers (8,695 annual calls-for-
service 260.79 calls/sworn officer) by General Plan build-out would merely maintain the
existing levels of service, and would not increase the existing levels of service because of the
additional 8,697 annual calls-for-service, or the 8,448 calls-for-service to the privately-held land-
uses.
No judgement is made, regarded or offered about the existing standards-of-service (LOS) or the
current ratio of officers to calls-for-service, or that it is the City's desired level-of-service or that
it is optimum, it merely is the existing, or defacto, level-of-service (LOS).
The Purpose of the Fee. The purpose of the fee is to collect proportional contributions from new
development to pay for additionally required law enforcement facilities, vehicles and equipment.
Specifically, additional law enforcement calls-for-service can be expected, and the cost of adding
sworn officers necessary to respond to these anticipated calls, and thus maintain the existing
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 31
HB -352-Item 5. - 275
Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities, Vehicles and Equipment
levels-of-service afforded the existing residential and business community, can also be determined.
The additional costs can be proportionally determined and translated to a fee, or an amount,
necessary to offset the added costs of the required additional law enforcement staffing. Those
impact costs include housing and equipping the additional required officers. Providing that the
impact cost is adopted and imposed as a fee, new development will finance the capital costs of
expansion of the City's Police Department. The annual operations cost of the annual salary and
benefits for those additional officers, will need to come from the increases in the base amounts of
property, sales and transient occupancy general tax increases generated by the new residences and
businesses and their occupants.
The Use of the Fee. The fees collected will be used to fund the law enforcement facilities and
equipment (identified in the Master Facilities Plan) that are necessary to accommodate the
anticipated (and planned for) development identified in Table 2-1. The revenues raised for a
properly calculated and legally-supported Law Enforcement Development Impact Fee would be
limited to capital(ized) costs related to that growth. The fees would be used to expand or increase
capacity within the law enforcement facilities, increase the number of response and investigator's
vehicles, and specialty equipment. Conversely, the General Plan Build-out Needs-based Law
Enforcement Development Impact Fee receipts cannot be used repair the existing building, replace
existing vehicles, or re-outfit a new officer (due to normal vacancies of the existing 235 officers).
The Relationship Between the Use of the Fee and the Type of Development Paying the Fee. The
fees collected from new development will be used to pay the proportional facility expansion costs
generated by new development. As the development occurs, the impact (in the form of new or
additional demands for service) is generated in differing amounts by differing land-uses and the
development impact fees would be collected as the various types of development occurs (at a time
in the development review and approval process determined by the City). The collected fee would
be put to use to acquire law enforcement space, vehicles and equipment for the new (and
additional) officers necessary to respond to those additional calls generated by that same new
development, without reducing the capability of responding to calls for the existing community.
The Relationship Between the Need for the Public Facility and the Type of Development Project.
As noted in this report, residents and businesses will generate calls-for-service at different rates.
Thus, there is a need to establish a specific schedule of development impact fees to fund the law
enforcement facilities needed to support the development anticipated in Table 2-1. To meet that
need, Police Department calls-for-service records were used to verify that differing land uses
generate differing amounts of calls-for-service. Anecdotally we can all recognize that a retail store
would be more likely to suffer shoplifting incidents, whereas a residence is more likely to
experience a domestic disturbance or break-in and thus would have differing demands. The data
in this Chapter demonstrates those expected differences using data specific to the City of
Huntington Beach. The collected impact fees would be used to acquire additional building space,
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 32
HB -353-Item 5. - 276
Chapter 3 Law Enforcement Facilities, Vehicles and Equipment
response vehicles and specialty and issued equipment for additional officers necessary to respond
to the additional calls-for-service generated by private residential dwelling and business space.
It would take the construction of roughly 368 attached dwellings to generate the need for a one full
police officer. Cumulatively over time, the calls generated by various new developments within
the City will create the need for additional officers and ultimately an additional patrol beat. It is
interesting to note that on an acreage basis, an acre of detached dwellings, yielding about six
detached units, will generate about 2.0 annual calls-for-service, only 15% of that generated by an
acre of attached dwellings, yielding about 47 units.
The Relationship Between the Amount of the Fee and the Cost of the Portion of the Facility
Attributed to the Development Project. Each new development would finance a proportional
amount of the expansion of the Police Station, vehicle response fleet and specialty law enforcement
equipment and thus a proportional share of the costs. The existing Police Station, while quite
large and is generally capable of meeting the needs of the existing staff required to serve the
existing community, was not necessarily designed to meet the City's law enforcement needs at
General Plan build-out. The two buildings combined 85,750 square feet provides about an average
of about 364.89 square feet per existing officer, a reasonable target to maintain for future police
officers 4 . Based upon the future addition of thirty-three officers to maintain the existing levels of
staffing, a 12,041 square foot expansion of the existing facility, or some other City-owned facility
would be needed, (33 X 364.89 = 12,041) to maintain the same ratio of space per officer that is
currently afforded by the existing facility.
As a result of potential addition of thirty-three sworn officers, the City will also need to add thirty-
three response vehicles at a total cost of $1,751,040 (or 33 vehicles X $54,720/vehicle) to
maintain as close to the existing ratio of 0.98 vehicles per sworn officer as possible (231 vehicles
divided by 235 officers = 0.98 vehicles per officer). The thirty-three new officers would each
require a full set of personal equipment and armament at $9,930 each for a total of $327,690.
Additional communications, telemetry and specialty operations equipment at an estimated total
$425,000 has been included to maintain a similar ratio of specialty equipment to sworn officer.
General Plan Build-out Needs-based Development Impact Fee Schedule. Table, 3-3, following,
summarizes the resulting General Plan Build-out Needs-based Development Impact Fees (see
Schedule 3.2 for detailed calculation) for development to contribute financially to the expansion
of the City's Law Enforcement capacity in order to allow the City to extend the same level-of-
service to the City's newest citizens and businesses without diminishing the existing level-of-
services offered to the existing residents and businesses.

DIF Proportionality Test by Comparison with Existing Financial Commitment. The current
equity in the City's law enforcement assets includes the 85,750 square feet of law enforcement
facilities with a replacement cost of $53,423,178, the 231 law enforcement vehicles costing the
City some $12,640,310, the inventory of assigned equipment for 235 officers at a total of
$2,155,801, the specialty and communications equipment at $3,027,410. There is no existing Law
Enforcement Development Impact Fee thus no existing fund balance. When this combined equity
figure of $71,246,699 is distributed to the current community (via Table 3-4, following and
detailed in Schedule 3.3), the existing community commitment, on a per unit basis, is just slightly
less than the calculated Law Enforcement General Plan Build-out Needs-based Development
Impact Fees (or cost) per unit, as indicated by the existing $71,246,699 invested in capital for the
provision of law enforcement.

RESULTING DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
The General Plan Build-out Needs-based impact fees, identified in Table 3-3, are slightly less than
the Financial Commitment or Investment-based fees identified in Table 3-4 indicating that the
existing commitment has kept relative pace with law enforcement asset expansion. In order to
ensure that proportionality, and its underlying fairness, be maintained the development impact fee
schedule identified in Table 3-3, (General Plan Build-out Need-based Development Impact Fees)
are the most reasonable for both additional new development and the existing community. The
adoption of Table 3-3, and detailed in Schedule 3.2 at the end of the Chapter, would also generate
sufficient capital, about 97% of the full amount identified in the Master Facilities Plan, to
construct most of the law enforcement facilities and capital equipment needed to absorb the new
demands generated by the City's continued new development while maintaining proportionality
with the commitment demonstrated by the existing community. The remaining 3% would need
to come from other sources.

CHAPTER ENDNOTES
1.The twelve month period spanning 2009.
2.Stated slightly differently, we could expect that any randomly selected thirty homes would generate about ten
calls in a given year.
3.Again, this is not intended to imply that each officers annul work effort is limited to only 260.79 calls-for-
service. Patrol officers respond to a far greater number of calls-for-service. Investigators may spend an entire
year on only a few cases, while officers involved in management of the Department do not necessarily respond to
any. The 260.79 calls-for-service is only an average and represent the composite calls-for-service workload
distributed between the entire 235 sworn officers.
4.This is almost the same as the average of 365.0 square foot per officer of six cities (with greater than 85
officers) where RCS has conducted similar analyses. Those six municipalities include Huntington Beach,
Anaheim, Ontario, Riverside, Chino and Corona. The average for twenty cities (of all sizes) is 353.6 square feet
per sworn officer.

Fire Suppression/Medic Facilities, Vehicles, and Equipment
The Existing Fire Suppression/Medic Infrastructure. The Fire Department responds to calls for
service from eight existing stations and trains at a facility consisting of a training (and drying)
tower, classrooms, offices and support areas with specialty situation training mock-up implements.
There is also a storage facility for reserve vehicles. The fire facilities are detailed as follows:
Fire Station #1 (Gothard) is a 10,200 square foot facility on parcel that is just under an acre
(42,166 square feet) and is located at 18311 Gothard Street.
Fire Station #2 (Murdy) is a 11,500 square foot three-bays wide by two-vehicles deep facility
also on a 42,166 square foot parcel at 16221 Gothard Street.
Fire Station #3 (Bushard) is a one-bay wide by one-vehicle deep, 5,700 square foot facility
located on a 12,980 square foot parcel located at 19711 Bushard Street.
Fire Station #4 (Magnolia) is a 5,702 square foot, one-bay wide by one-vehicle deep facility
located on a 21,780 square foot parcel located at 21441 Magnolia Street.
Fire Station #5 (Lake) is a 11,508 square foot, three-bays wide by two-vehicles deep facility on
a 14,200 square foot parcel located at 530 Lake Street.
Fire Station #6 (Edwards) is a 13,000 square foot, three-bays wide by two-vehicles deep facility
located on a 208,478 square foot parcel located at 18591 Edwards Street.
Fire Station #7 (Warner) is an 8,750 square foot, two-bays wide by one-vehicle deep facility
located on a 53,273 square foot parcel at 3831 Warner Avenue.
Fire Station #8 (Heil) is a 5,712 square foot, two-bays wide by one-vehicle deep station on a
10,280 square foot parcel located at 5891 Heil Avenue.
The Training Facility is also located at 18301 Gothard next to Station #1 on a 77,580 square foot
portion of a City parcel and consists of 7,081 square feet of classrooms and offices. The site also
has numerous training exercise implements and a drafting pool.

Reserve Vehicle Storage Building - The facility is 2,525 square foot storage building and is
located behind Fire Station #1 (Gothard).
The land and replacement construction cost of the existing stations and training facilities is
approximately $52,999,718. Not surprisingly, the City also has a sizable fleet of City-owned
response and prevention units (and equipment) consisting of:
•Four front line and three reserve ambulances;
•Two front line ladder trucks, one aerial platform and a large tiller ladder truck and one
reserve tiller ladder truck;
•Eight front-line and four reserve engines;
•Two Battalion Chief incident command vehicles;
•Seven utility pick-up trucks of varying sizes (utility and specialty support);
•Three specialty vehicles, a decontamination vehicle, a HazMat vehicle and Light/Air
support vehicle; and,
•Twenty-two administrative, inspection and investigation sedans.
The total investment in the Department's vehicle compliment is about $9,237,000. The City's
investment in assigned fire fighter equipment is approximately $1,010,202 at $7,595.50 for each
of the 133 sworn fire fighters. The City has also acquired approximately $537,780 in
computers/Electronic equipment. There is no existing Fire Suppression/Medic Facilities, Vehicle
and Equipment Impact Fee Fund thus no current year-end fund balance.
The current equity of the stations, parcels, specialty equipment and the response fleet is estimated
to be $63,784,700. The sale of Station #8 (Heil), to allow it to be relocated, decreases this figure
by a net $2,550,473 to $61,234,227. This figure represents what it would cost to establish the
existing eight station (along with the reserve vehicle and training facilities) response capability at
current vehicle, equipment, land acquisition and facility construction costs. The relevance of this
figure will be established later in this Chapter.
Demand Upon Infrastructure Created by the Development of Under or Undeveloped Parcels.
While it can be said that numerous factors are considered when determining the number of and
location of fire stations in any city, it can be stated without any logical argument that all new (net)
private development in the City will have an effect on the City's current ability to respond to fire,
medic, and emergency calls-for-service. The effect, simplified but not trivialized, is twofold.
Initially, each new residential and business development will create, on average, more calls-for-
service increasing the likelihood of simultaneous (and thus competing) calls-for-service.
Additionally, as development spreads further from any existing station or stations, as large-scale
development is often likely to do, the distances (and thus response times) will increase, taking the
existing engine companies out-of-service for greater lengths of time.

HB -362-Item 5. - 285
Chapter 4 Fire Suppression/Medic Facilities, Vehicles, and Equipment
The capacity of any fire station to respond to calls-for-service is finite and will ultimately reach
practical limits (through a combination of call-frequency and total time on that call). When that
station's capacity is exceeded, the level-of-service afforded to existing development will be greatly
diminished. Or stated in another way, if development continues without the addition of fire
stations (additional capacity), the existing station will be overwhelmed (new demand), making a
timely response for emergency service less likely. That is to say, the existing engine companies
may not be available to respond to your needs as they may be out-of-service on a call in a different
part of the community.
The Purpose of the Fee. The purpose of the fee is to collect proportional financial contributions
from new development to pay for additional fire suppression/medic facilities, vehicles and
specialty equipment. In order to be able to continue to be able to respond to an ever-increasing
number of expected calls, the Fire Department staff has determined the need for the relocation of
one new station (as opposed to adding a ninth) and an expansion of one existing station. Having
the right type and inventory of fire stations in the right locations enables the City's policy makers
to house fire fighters, apparatus, and equipment in a rational way for maximum use of resources.
Conversely, the penalties are high and extremely visible, for inadequate fire response capacity.
Adverse effects are felt by the City's fire staff, the council, and indeed by the existing taxpayers.
With poor response capacity response times, (via distance or out-of-service due to a previous call),
can become excessive and if a tragedy occurs, the incident will be well publicized.
Often, response time is mistakenly referred to for only the first-in unit. This can be a grave error.
More correctly, response time must consider the time necessary to assemble all of the fire
resources necessary to place the incident under control. If the first unit arrives within five minutes
but cannot provide the necessary water flow, undertake entry, or perform the needed functions due
to a lack of staffing, the five minute response becomes insignificant and irrelevant. Thus an
increase in the number and type of response vehicles is also necessary to match and equip the
needed additional staff. The following sections identify the manner in which the City plans to
meet the demands of additional calls-for-service and can thus accommodate new development.
The Use of the Fee. The development impact fee would be collected as the development occurs
at some point of the development review process determined by the City. As the development
occurs, the impact is generated. The collected fees would be put to use to acquire the additional
fire-fighters' facilities necessary to respond to additional calls-for-service, necessary to avoid
reducing the capability of responding to calls from the existing community. These fees will be used
to finance the construction or acquisition of fire suppression/medic facilities, vehicles and specialty
equipment (identified in the companion Master Facilities Plan) that have been identified as
necessary to accommodate the anticipated (and planned for) development identified in Table 2-1.

HB -363-Item 5. - 286
Chapter 4 Fire Suppression/Medic Facilities, Vehicles, and Equipment
The proposed fire suppression/medic facilities and equipment that are necessary to accommodate
the anticipated (and planned for) in Table 2-1 are identified in the companion document the Master
Facilities Plan. It is important to note that the fees would be used to acquire additional stations or
expand existing stations (to increase the response capacity of that station) and increase the number
of emergency response vehicles. Conversely, the Fire Suppression/Medic Facilities, Vehicles,
and Equipment Impact Fee receipts could not be used to simply repair any existing fire station or
replace any existing emergency response vehicles. Additional facility capacity is planned to come
on-line, as needed, as development creates additional demands beyond the existing capability
(frequency and distance) of the existing stations. The six capital projects expansions proposed by
the City's fire staff will cost a net $11,241,972. They are described briefly:
FS-001 - Relocate Station #8 (Heil) - The proposed project involves the relocation of the existing
station from it's current location on Heil Street just west of Springdale to a more northerly area
near Graham Street, north of Edinger Street. The relocation is largely needed to meet the shifting
and increasing demands resulting from the redevelopment/up-sizing of both the Downtown
Specific Plan and the Beach/Edinger Specific Plan corridor. The proposed building would be a
three-bay wide by two-vehicle deep facility. The project would need approximately an acre and
a quarter.
FS-002 - Construct Station #8 (Heil) Apparatus Storage Facility - The reserve vehicle storage
facility behind the existing Station #1 would need to be supplemented with a storage facility behind
Station #8 as part of the above project but is not fully needed as result of the redevelopment of the
two large specific plans. It is partly needed to accommodate existing reserve vehicles.
FS-003 - Construct a Single Bay/Quarters At Station #4 (Magnolia) - The project will add
2,400 square feet to the station. The additional space would consist of an additional 1,600 two
vehicle deep bay to house and additional engine company and an ambulance.
FS-004 - Acquire an Additional Engine and Ambulance for Station #4 (Magnolia) - This
project consists of the response vehicles in support of the Station #4 expansion.
FS-005 - Acquire an Additional Engine for Station #1 - This additional engine would be needed
to assist in handling the additional call volume resulting from the development in both the
Downtown Specific Plan and the southerly portion of the Beach/Edinger Specific Plan corridor.
FS-006 - Acquire an Additional Engine for Station #2- This additional engine would be needed
to assist in accommodating additional call-for-service volume resulting from the development in
the Beach/Edinger Specific Plan corridor.

Chapter 4 Fire Suppression/Medic Facilities, Vehicles, and Equipment
The proposed projects and costs are identified on Schedule 4.1 and are detailed in the Master
Facilities Plan. The total cost of completing the fire infrastructure system is $11,941,972, which
is mitigated by the $700,000 offset anticipated by the sale of the Station #8, Heil for a net total of
$11,241,972. There is no existing Fire Suppression/Medic Development Impact Fee fund thus
no fund balance.
The Relationship Between the Need for the Public Facility and the Type of Development Project.
As noted in this report, residents and businesses will generate calls-for-service at different rates.
Thus, there is a need to establish a specific schedule of development impact fees to finance the
required expansion to the fire suppression/paramedic facilities et. al. needed to support the
development anticipated and identified in Table 2-1. Fire suppression/medic response standards
extended to new development should be consistent with the fire response currently enjoyed by the
City's existing citizens and business community by constructing new facilities, or the result will
be a deterioration in the level-of-service provided both to the existing residents and future citizens
and businesses within the City. It follows that it is appropriate to assess future development to
contribute additional fire suppression/medic facilities, vehicles and equipment.
To project the impact of future development on fire services, it was first necessary to quantify the
current impact on services from each of the City's land uses. Then, a determination of the costs
of future capital facilities necessary to meet this increased demand was made. The following
section illustrates the relative impact from each land use on fire services and facilities.
The Relationship Between the Need for the Public Facility and the Type of Development Project.
As noted in this report, residents and businesses will generate calls-for-service at different rates.
Thus, there is a need to establish a specific schedule of development impact fees to fund the fire
suppression/paramedic facilities needed to support the development anticipated in Table 2-1. To
meet that need, actual Fire Department calls-for-service records' were used to verify that differing
land uses generate differing numbers of calls. The data in this Chapter demonstrates those
expected differences using data specific to City of Huntington Beach. The collected impact fees
would be used to acquire equipment for additional fire fighters, vehicles and additional building
space necessary to respond to the calls-for-service generated by private residential dwelling and
business space.
The Relationship Between the Amount of the Fee and the Cost of the Portion of the Facility
Attributed to the Development Project. Each new development would finance a proportional
amount of the expansion of the fire station/company response capacity, vehicle response fleet and
specialty response/paramedic equipment and thus a proportional share of the costs. It is unlikely
that any specific development will generate the need to construct the additional fire station, but
each one will pay for their proportional demands on that expansion.

Chapter 4 Fire Suppression/Medic Facilities, Vehicles, and Equipment
While the majority of these requests for service were made by residents of Huntington Beach from
their homes, a large percentage of requests were generated from existing commercial/office and
industrial uses within the City. A survey of each land use and its existing effect on requests for
calls-for-service was conducted to determine existing service ratios and thus be able to project the
impact of future development on fire services. This survey was undertaken similarly to the
process used to determine law enforcement demand as described in Chapter 3, Law Enforcement.
Only requests for fire and medic services to privately held property were counted. Calls-for-
service to public property such as City parks and public right-of-way or intersections were not
included which, in effect, distributes these calls pro-rata through the calls-for-service from
privately held property. This is based upon the argument that all public land serves privately held
land in some manner.
Table 4-1, following, identifies the number of requests for service received by the Fire Department
during the period of July 1, 2008 and June 30, 2009, by land use (detached dwelling, attached
dwelling, mobile home, resort hotel/motel, commercial/office, and industrial). The number of
calls-for-service received by the Fire Department for each of the major land-uses during the year
was then divided by either the existing number of dwelling units (for residential uses) or the
developed acres (for commercial, office and industrial uses) to determine the number of requests
generated per dwelling unit or commercial or an industrial acre.

The beach/City right-of-way areas generated 195 calls for service. Of residential land uses, the
occupants of an attached dwelling unit are less likely, by less than half as much, to require an
emergency fire service response at 0.051 annual responses per unit, than the occupants of a
detached dwelling unit at 0.123 annual responses per unit. Commercial/Office development is
shown to generate 0.044 responses per 1,000 square feet of building pad, while industrial
development generates a minimal response demand of 0.004 calls per 1,000 square feet of building
pad. The lower demand by industrial uses over commercial/office uses should be expected given
the greater density of employees and patrons in a commercial or office establishment when
compared to an industrial business of similar building size. However, it should be noted that
while there are fewer calls for industrial properties, significant specialty training is required to be
prepared for industrial responses, (i.e., confined space and hazardous materials training).
Table 4-2 indicates that, given the high density of rooms and accompanying facilities, an acre of
resort development, creates the highest demand for fire services, thus the development impact fee
for that land use is the highest, on an average acreage basis.

development was extrapolated. This was accomplished by multiplying the average responses per
unit or 1,000 square feet (KSF), established in Table 4-1, by the number of anticipated dwelling
units, commercial rooms or business KSF. Table 4-3, following, indicates the number of
additional calls-for-service that could be anticipated from the development of currently vacant land
within the City's planning area.
Table 4-3

Proposed Capital Expenses. The total cost of the required improvements to the City's investment
of fire suppression/medic facilities, vehicles and specialty equipment was previously estimated to
be $11,941,972 with an offset of $700,000 from the proceeds of sale of the to-be vacated Heil
Station #8. Roughly 46.4% has been identified as required to serve the net new calls-for-service
resulting from development or up-sizing due to redevelopment. Projects FS-001 through FS-006
are capacity-increasing and have been determined by City staff to be necessary to accommodate
the anticipated additional calls-for-service from new development or for a more appropriate aerial
unit. When this cost is distributed the various land-uses and the demands created by each, a
proportional cost is determined, by development unit. Table 4-4, summarized from Schedule 4.2,
indicates the proportional cost by land-use unit.

Existing City Financial Commitment. The replacement value of the existing fire infrastructure
(parcel and station, response fleet and related safety/specialty equipment) at a net $61,234,227
(includes the potential sale of the Heil Station) was referenced earlier in this Chapter. This
represents the current investment or financial commitment by the existing community toward fire
suppression/medic capability/capacity. When this figure is distributed over the existing
development in the same manner as were the future costs, by the land use demands, an average
investment, or financial commitment (or equity for that matter) per unit is determined. The results
are summarized in Table 4-5 (from Schedule 4.3). As an example, each detached dwelling unit
has "invested" over the lifetime of the City, about $922 (as identified in Table 4-5 following) into
fire suppression/medic capital, an amount that is about 95 % of the General Plan Build-out Needs-
based Development Impact Fee schedule identified in the previous Table 4-4 and detailed in
Schedule 4.3.
The current community's commitment has established the eight response station capacities and was
paid for through years of General Fund receipts. To allow future residents to benefit by use of
all of the capital needs without contributing additional assets, could endanger the existing residents
and businesses. Table 4-5, following, summarizes the distribution of the $ in replacement costs
to the existing community, (Schedule 4.3 indicates this in greater detail).

Community Financial Commitment
Of importance is the fact that the Community Financial Commitment or Equity-based costs on
Table 4-5 are just slightly higher, at roughly 105%, than the proposed General Plan Build-out-
based impact fees as demonstrated in Table 4-4. This indicates that the City is just slightly behind
in its cumulative and proportional investment in needed fire suppression/medic facilities, vehicles
and equipment.
RESULTING DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
Since the equity position of the existing community is slightly less than the General Plan Build-out
Needs-based development impact fees necessary for expansion, the current Community Financial
Commitment or Equity-based Proportionality Test-based Development Impact Fees, as identified
in Table 4-5 and Schedule 4.3, would be the most equitable fee schedule to adopt.
Resulting Development Impact Cost Distribution. The collection of the proposed development
impact fee, through build-out would allow the City to provide a great deal (44.7%) of the proposed
expansions and most of the equipment, but not all of it. It would fall about $6.0 million short of
financing all of the required improvements attributed to new development.

OTHER NOTES AND ISSUES
1. The City will need to monitor the approval of conditional uses within industrial zoned
development where newly constructed industrial developments. These land uses are initially have
the lower industrial use development impact fees imposed when constructed as "spec" buildings
but end up being used, with a CUP, for commercial/office uses. These commercial/office uses
generate far greater demand than the industrial uses. If left unchecked, the Fire Department, as
well as other City services, will be faced with the greater demand from the actual
commercial/office uses but will be left only with the collection of the far lower industrial use
development impact fee rates. To avoid this under collection, the City should impose an impact
fee representing the difference between the commercial/office development impact fee and the
previously paid industrial land-use impact fee when a CUP is approved and tenant improvement
plans are submitted indicating a commercial or office use.
RECAP OF RECOMMENDED FIRE SUPPRESSION/MEDIC FACILITIES, VEHICLES
AND EQUIPMENT DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES.
• Adopt Schedule 4.3 General Plan Build-out Needs-based for the seven basic land-uses.

Chapter 5
Circulation (Streets, Signals and Bridges) System
The following Chapter will identify the street, traffic signal and bridge improvements (henceforth
referred to as the Circulation System) planned for the City through General Plan Build-out of the
existing City limits as identified in the Land-use Database Table in Chapter 2.
RCS recommends the continuation of the City's comprehensive Circulation System Development
Impact Fee, i.e. , a fee that combines the required street, signal and bridge expansions, all of which
are related to the movement of primarily vehicles. The reasons are practical in that combining
these three components will provide greater flexibility in establishing priorities in what is
essentially a singular circulation issue with a common nexus, traffic or as stated in trip-mile
generation. It is fairly common that a single circulation system capital improvement project will
involve both a street improvement (or intersection) and signal improvement.
The Existing Circulation System. The City currently has and maintains an extensive system of
roadways available for transportation of goods and services, as well as for educational,
recreational, and social purposes. Streets that fall under the jurisdiction of City of Huntington
Beach are classified as one of four types of roadways for the purposes of this Report. Roadways
are defined in part (in the City's General Plan Circulation Element)2 as:
•Freeway - Very high mobility with limited access to arterial streets and no access to adjacent
land use. [The City is not responsible for the construction of freeways but will likely have to
financially assist CALTRANS with any alteration to an existing access/egress ramps].
•Arterial - High mobility with access to collectors, some access to local streets and major
traffic generators.
•Collector - Limited mobility connecting local streets with arterials; also provides good access
to adjacent land uses.
•Local -Limited mobility but provides very good access to adjacent land uses and collector
streets.
Typically, locals would be constructed upon the developer's private property and generally only
benefits those new residential or business buildings. Assuming that the design criterion has been
met and that the right-of-way improvements meet inspection requirements, the City then accepts
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 54
HB -375-Item 5. - 298
Chapter 5 Circulation (Streets, Signals, and Bridges) System
the local street improvements along with the responsibility to maintain the improvement in
perpetuity. In short, local streets are of little benefit to the City-wide circulation system, and these
costs are not shared by other developers, as the collector and arterial system improvements are.
For these reasons, the cost of all local streets is excluded from the Circulation System
Development Impact Fee calculation.
Demand Upon Infrastructure Created by the Development of Undeveloped Parcels. Undeveloped
parcels create few trip-ends beyond an occasional visit to the site for weed abatement purposes or
to consider a sale or development of the vacant parcel. None of these trip-ends are on a routine
basis. However, a developed parcel will generate a statistically predictable number of trip-ends,
depending upon the specific land use of the development. Thus it can be stated that a vacant
parcel, when developed into a specific use, i.e. , residential or business, will generate more traffic
than it did when it was vacant. Similarly, a change in the use of the parcel may also increase the
number of daily trip-ends. A good example would be the demolition of a low trip-generating
insurance office which is reconstructed as a new high trip-generating fast-food restaurant.
All new development contributes to cumulative traffic impacts, which are difficult to measure and
mitigate on a project-by-project, basis but which have significant and widespread cumulative
impacts on the City's existing road system. Factors that will increase the competition for existing
lane miles (and freeway crossings) include, (as measured by trip-miles defined later in Chapter
text) the following:
•An increase in the City's full-time population through the construction of about 7,065
additional dwelling units contributing approximately 183,270 new trip-miles daily or
just more than 49.4% of the newly expected daily trip-miles
•The construction of 1,353 commercial lodging units (resort and hotel/motel) will
generate 26,882 daily trip-miles, not quite 7.3 % of the total new trip-miles annually.
•The construction of private commercial and office uses on the (net) 40 acres currently
identified as undeveloped commercial or office uses will generate 78,553 new daily trip-
miles, or about 21.2% of the total new trip-miles expected at General Plan build-out.
This figure could vary significantly depending upon the type of commercial uses
constructed and possible zoning changes or conditional use permits issued.
•The addition of 187 acres of industrial development (and Institutional Uses) generating
the potential for an additional 82,219 daily trip-miles, just under a quarter of the total
new trip-miles at 22.1%. Again, it is possible that some parcels zoned for industrial
uses will end up being commercial uses after obtaining a Conditional Use Permit. There
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 55
HB -376-Item 5. - 299
Chapter 5 Circulation (Streets, Signals, and Bridges) System
are likely many existing industrial buildings contiguous to the City's many arterials and
collectors that have become commercial uses.
When all (or most) of the available vacant land is developed, the City can expect an additional
370,924 daily trip-miles For perspective, the City currently experiences approximately 3,135,213
daily trip-miles from the existing residences and businesses. The 370,924 anticipated trip-miles
represents an approximate 11.8% increase over the existing 3,135,213 daily trip-miles.
The Purpose of the Fee. The purpose of the fee is to collect proportional contributions from new
development to pay for additional circulation system capacity and by creating more lane miles or
more efficient lane miles with which to accommodate the additional trip-miles created by and
anticipated from new development. Additionally there are circulation projects required to alter
existing arterials, collectors or intersections that currently exist, but due to additional trip-miles
are becoming ineffective at moving vehicles. An example would be the intersection of Beach
Boulevard and Edinger Avenue (ST-001). This project is required because additional citizens and
business-owners will use the existing intersections along with the current users rendering it, again,
ineffective at moving traffic at a reasonable pace, primarily during the a.m. and p.m. peak hour
of traffic. Acceptable traffic paces can be maintained with a combination of road widening,
freeway access/egress, proper signalization and turn lane channelization. The simple answer to
increasing demand for lane miles is to construct additional lane miles. Unfortunately there are
little if any opportunities to construct additional lane miles of arterials or collectors within the
City's limits without the impractical and acquisition of very expensive right-of-way.
Thus, given the size of City of Huntington Beach and the magnitude of growth projected in this
Report, numerous intersection improvements and construction of technologically improved traffic
signals will be the primary methodology employed by the City to avoid congestion and gridlock
in the future. Traffic planners have long known that the critical constraint in a typical roadway
network is usually not the roadway itself but the many intersections of arterial and collector
roadways. While the street capacity may be theoretically adequate to carry traffic volumes at
build-out, motorists may experience congestion and even gridlock at the intersections of the
arterial/collector. While the City will likely undertake, some street widening projects where
possible, the installation of traffic signals and lane reconfiguration at critical intersections in the
City is perhaps a more important component of traffic circulation.
The importance of traffic signals is twofold. First, the City can build only so many major
collector streets and there are limits as to how wide they can be, indeed there are no more practical
opportunities for additional lane-miles. Second, a north-south arterial/collector, by definition, will
intersect with an east-west arterial/collector assuring that someone will have to stop, either at a
stop sign or a traffic signal, adding time to their tasks. The traffic carrying capacity of each
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 56
HB -377-Item 5. - 300
Chapter 5 Circulation (Streets. Signals, and Bridges) System
collector can only be maximized by assuring orderly flow of traffic by efficient signalization of
those intersecting arterial/collector roadways.
None of this is intended to eliminate the time-honored practice of the developer constructing the
full width roadway and being reimbursed for the portion greater than would otherwise be required
of the developer. This impact fee calculation and resulting fee collection would simply improve
the reimbursement capability.
The City's Master Facilities Plan Circulation System section identifies fifteen circulation projects
costing a net $28,539,780. The individual projects and costs are identified on Schedule 5.1 at the
end of the Chapter and detailed in the Master Facilities Plan. A total of $26,608,410 has been
identified by staff as capacity increasing, leaving $1,929,390 to be supported by other financial
resources such as assessment districts, State (CALTRANS) assistance, General Funds, etc. There
is an existing Circulation System Development Impact Fee Fund balance of $200,000 leaving some
$1,469,370 with unidentified revenue sources.
The Use of the Fee. The continued collection of the Circulation System Development Impact Fee
would be used to construct the projects (or portions of projects) identified in Schedule 5.1 at the
conclusion of this Chapter's text. The collected fees will be used to create additional lane miles
with which to accommodate the additional 370,924 additional daily trip-miles that will be
generated by the scope of development identified in Table 2-1. Nineteen specific signal
modification/intersection modification improvement projects have been included in the list of
proposed projects. They include:
Beach Boulevard - Seven signal modification/intersection improvement projects would be
constructed along Beach Boulevard at the intersections with Edinger, Heil, Warner, Slater,
Talbert, Garfield, and Yorktown Avenues.
Pacific Coast Highway - Three signal modification/intersection improvement projects would
improve traffic flow along Pacific Coast Highway at Warner Avenue, Goldenwest and Brookhurst
Streets.
Newland Street - Three signal modification/intersection improvement projects along Newland
Street include the intersections with Talbert, Warner and Yorktown Avenues.
Goldenwest Street - There are two such projects planned at the intersections of Goldwest Street
with Bolsa and Slater Avenues.
Gothard Street - There are also two signal/intersection improvement projects planned at the
intersection of Gothard Street with Slater and Talbert.
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 57
HB -378-Item 5. - 301
Chapter 5 Circulation (Streets, Signals, and Bridges) System
There are two more signal improvement projects, one at the intersection of Ward Street and
Garfield Avenue and one at Brookhurst Street and Adams Avenue as well as a few minor
intersection improvements that will be identified as development projects arise. There is a minor
amount for a facility addition at the City yard to store replacement signal equipment.
The Relationship Between the Use of the Fee and the Type of Development Paying the Fee. There
is a reasonable relationship between the fees' use and the types of projects on which the fees are
imposed. The fees will be used to provide for a fair share contribution for transportation system
improvements, including various street, signal and bridge project improvements needed to
accommodate additional development of residential units and business square feet. The
development impact fee to be imposed and collected will be based on the ratio of projected number
of trip-miles the proposed development will generate in relationship to the total 370,924 additional
projected trip-miles at General Plan build-out. Any amount imposed as a Circulation System
Development Impact Fee will continue to be placed in a separate fund as the current City practice
(collecting interest) and is to be used only on the projects identified on Schedule 5.1 as
development-related.
From time to time the City may require an applicant of a private project to construct a street or
signal improvement (or portion thereof) that is on the list of required improvements at the end of
this Chapter. This method is often undertaken to expedite the project at the request of the
applicant/developer. The developer should receive a credit representing the cost of those required
improvements, against their mathematically calculated impact fee, for any money expended on this
required improvement against any circulation projects. Should one not exist, a portion of the
ordinance addressing the issue of credits should be prepared and added to the City of Huntington
Beach Municipal Code.
The following table identifies some of the key system attributes of the Circulation System. The
attributes identify that approximately 89.4% of the total trip-miles at "build-out" are represented
by the existing community who have contributed a similar, but larger amount (96.2%) of the cost
of the entire system. The traffic system yet to be built represents about 3.9% of the total trip-mile
supporting system when the City is fully developed. Since there is a finite amount of room for
additional major roads, traffic signals must be constructed at the intersection of major arterials.
All of this generally indicates that the City is "on target" in terms of the construction of a
circulation infrastructure. Or another way to state it is that the current drivers will generate
89.4% of the ultimate "build-out" trip-miles, have constructed about 96.2 % , (in terms of cost) of
the required infrastructure. It would be appropriate to assume that the remaining 10.6% of the
traffic trip-mile generators contribute the remaining 3 9% of the infrastructure.

Table 5-1
Comparison of Circulation System Attributes
The Relationship Between the Need for the Facility and the Type of Development Project. There
is a reasonable relationship between the need for the proposed circulation projects and the types
of developments on which the fees would be imposed. New residents and new business owners
will utilize the community's existing circulation system which will then require a number of street,
signal and bridge improvements to maintain the existing level-of-service (LOS) enjoyed by the
existing community. Schedule 5.1 identifies the additional traffic to be generated by new
development, by type of development. The technical volume, Trip Generation (Manual) 7th
Edition, produced by the Institute of Traffic Engineers, has been used to identify part of the nexus,
or the relationship between the type of development and the projected number of trips that
development will generate. The nexus will be based upon the combined factors of trip frequency
and trip distance.
New Trip Adjustment for Pass-by or Diverted Trips (trip frequency factors). Schedule 5.2
contains a sub-schedule that identifies adjustments to new total trip-ends. As an example, an acre
of general commercial use would be expected, on average, to generate about 381 daily trip-ends.
However, approximately 15% of those trip-ends, or about 57 trip-ends per day, are pass-by trip-
ends, in that, the trip-end is not truly an end but is actually a one in a series of stops, i.e. at
various commercial establishments, with a different location such as a residence as the final trip-
end or destination of the series of trip-ends. In order to be considered a pass-by trip, the location
of the stop must be contiguous to the generator3 route, i.e. the route that would have been used
even if the temporary stop had not been made 4 . The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
indicates that:
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 59
HB -380-Item 5. - 303
Chapter 5 Circulation (Streets, Signals, and Bridges) System
Thus when forecasted trips based upon the trip generation rates are distributed to the
adjacent streets, some reduction is made to account for those trips already there that will
be attracted to the proposed development.5
Pass-by trip-ends are fully adjusted (reduced at 100%) from the average trip-ends (per day)
generated by the eleven land uses identified in Schedules 5.2 and 5.3.
A diverted trip is similar to a pass-by trip-end in that it is an extra stop between, as an example,
a motorist's work site and his or her residence. A diverted trip differs slightly in that it requires
a minor deviation from the normal generator route and the temporary stop. In short, a diverted
trip-end creates a separate side trip using additional (and different) lane miles from that of the
normal route from the motorist's place of employment and his or her home 6 . These trip-ends
increase the traffic volume from the generator route only for brief distances. The ITE adds that
diverted trips:
are produced from traffic volume on roadways within the vicinity of the generator (route)
and require a diversion from that roadway to another roadway with access to the site.
These roadways could include streets or freeways adjacent to the generator but without
access to the generator.'
These diverted trip-ends will be adjusted (reduced at an assumed 50%) from the fall trip-end count
for each of the land uses identified in the Chapter 2.
Again, the trip-end adjustment schedule at the bottom of Schedule 5.2 indicates the total daily trip-
ends reduced by the number of pass-by trips (at 100%) and diverted trips (at 50%). The trip pass-
by and diversion percentages were generated by a study conducted by the San Diego Association
of Governments (SANDAG) in conjunction with various U.S. and California agencies8.
Average Trip Distances by Land Use (trip distance factors). Additionally, the same SANDAG
data schedule referenced above provides information for a trip distance factor component to the
nexus. Based upon that data, a trip to an industrial work-site has the greatest distance at 9.0 miles.
A trip to an office average 8.8 miles, a residential trip averages 7.9 miles, a trip from a hotel or
motel (once in residence) averages 7 6 miles, and an average trip to a commercial site is the
shortest at 4.3 miles. This indicates that drivers are generally willing travel further distances to
work and for treatment at medical offices than they are to shop. Both frequency (trip-ends) and
distances (average miles per trip) have been combined into the nexus by combining frequency and
distance, the two major factors of circulation master planing.
When the trip frequency and trip distance factors are combined, a 200-unit attached dwelling
residential specific plan would generate about 4,620 daily trip-miles (200 unit's X 23.1 daily trip-

miles per unit) and a ten-acre commercial-retail development would generate 4,955 daily trip-miles
(10 acres X 32.6 trip-miles/K.S.F. X 15,246/1,000 S.F.). Each would pay their proportionate
share of the total 370,924 newly created trip-miles expected at General Plan build-out. In the case
of the detached dwelling development, the 4,620 daily trip-miles generated by the new 200
attached dwellings represents about 1.25% of the 370,924 total new trip-miles anticipated at build-
out, thus they would be required to contribute financially to the DIF fund or construct projects on
the DIF list to an amount equal to 1.49% of the total development-related project costs. The
4,955 daily trip-miles generated by the ten acres of commercial development represent 1.34% of
the total 370,924 new trip-miles anticipated at build-out. As a result they would be required to
contribute financially to the DIP fund or construct projects on the DIF list to an amount equal to
1.34% of the total development-related project costs.
The Relationship Between the Amount of the Fee and the Cost of the portion of the Facility
Attributed to the Development Project. Again, the calculation of the Circulation System
Development Impact Fee is based upon the recognition that differing types of developments
generate differing numbers of trip-ends. The fee is based upon the projected number of trip-miles
generated by the proposed private development project. Circulation System Development Impact
fee receipts will be accumulated until they reach the amount necessary to construct a meaningful
project to alleviate or mitigate the demands of those new developments. Table 5-2 (summarized
from Schedule 5.2) following, identifies the General Plan Build-out based Circulation System
Impact Fee Schedule based upon the net $26,608,410 in identified capacity-increasing projects.

Chapter 5 Circulation (Streets, Signals, and Bridges) System
Again, adoption of this set of proposed fees would generate the total revenue necessary to
construct a significant portion (about 93%) of the needed street, traffic signal and bridge
construction projects. The shortfall is largely due to removing new "passthrough" trips from new
development outside of the City limits from the calculation. These figures, however, need to be
compared to the existing community financial commitment demonstrated by the existing circulation
assets to identify the level of fairness in adopting this schedule of development impact fees.
Proportionality Test. Table 5-3, following (and summarized from Schedule 5.3) identifies the
assets of the existing system (at current construction and acquisition costs). The $533,539,375
consists of the existing $431.6 million in circulation plan arterial/collector streets, $96.8 million
in traffic signals and intersection improvements and $5.0 million in major bridges inventory.
There is also a $200,000 balance in the Circulation System Development Impact Fee fund balance.
When the combined $533.6 million is distributed over the existing community, using the identical
nexus factor used for distribution future costs, the existing community has contributed the
following, on average, by land use:
Table 5-3
Existing Circulation System Community
Commitment Comparison Development Impact Fees
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 62
HB -383-Item 5. - 306
Chapter 5 Circulation (Streets, Signals, and Bridges) System
Of importance is that the existing community has contributed, on average, far more, (at nearly
237%) than would be required of future development to meet the General Plan build-out needs for
all users. This indicates that there is no proportionality issue as the future community is being
asked to contribute at a far lesser amount (at about 42%) than has been contributed by the existing
community.
Alternative Cost Methodology. A more precise calculation of costs for specific types of land uses
(i.e. , banks, hospitals, convalescent homes, etc.) can be determined by multiplying the average
cost per trip of $71.74 by the applicable daily trip-mile rate. An example of this calculation can
be found in Schedule 5.3 at the end of the Chapter and applied to Table 5-4, on the following
page. These tables list trip-mile rates and costs for various residential, resort, industrial and
commercial developments. A fee system based on a lengthy schedule of trip-mile rates
theoretically provides greater accuracy and therefore greater equity in determining specific uses
demand on the City's circulation system, but at the same time may increase the City's
administrative costs to administer the fee. A more extensive listing of traffic generators by land
use is available in Trip Generation as published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, New
York, NY and SANDAG.

RESULTING DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
The contribution of the existing community as evidenced in Table 5-3, Community Financial
Commitment-based Proportionality Test Fees is far greater than what is to asked of future
development (Table 5-2) the General Plan Build-out Needs-based Development Impact Fee
schedule is adequate and reasonable for adoption. It would be more than adequate for the usual
and normal application to the seven broad land-uses. as the fairest schedule of impact fees.
However, it is further recommended that there should also be the option for the engineering staff
to apply the per trip-mile fee from Schedule 5.2 multiplied by the specific use Table 5-4 or the
more extensive listing of traffic generators by land use (available in Trip Generation as published
by the Institute of Transportation Engineers, New York, N.Y.) multiplied by the SANDAG land-
use trip distances.
RECAP OF RECOMMENDED (LOCAL) CIRCULATION SYSTEM, VEHICLES AND
EQUIPMENT DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES.
•Adopt Schedule 5.2. for the seven basic new land-uses including the per Daily Trip-mile rate
with standard ITE trip-end rates for the application to unusual or highly specific development
proposals.
•Adopt Table 5-4 for application on specific business uses as necessary by engineering staff, as
well as the table at the bottom of Schedule 5.2 to allow City staff to calculate specific Circulation
System DIFs, based upon ITE data not necessarily highlighted on Table 5-4.

4.As an example, a motorist travels the same route from work to home daily. On some number of occasions, the
motorist stops at a market along the route to pick up some groceries. These stops at the market would be
considered pass-by trips in that they do not generate an additional trip along that route.

Storm Drainage Collection System
The Existing System. The City's existing storm drainage network is composed of street gutter
facilities, inlets and a pipeline network of storm drain lines, ranging from 24" to 96" pipe"1 . This
combination of improvements conveys storm water runoff to various larger lines and Flood
Control District storm channels located throughout the City leading directly into the Santa Ana
River to the north. There are also numerous small outlets which lead directly into the Pacific
Ocean. The system, with minor exceptions, functions well to remove storm water runoff and
protect developed parcels and other City infrastructure. However, as the City continues to develop
currently vacant or underutilized parcels, the existing City-owned storm drainage lines will
approach maximum capacity reducing the ability of the existing drainage lines to sufficiently and
adequately collect and remove additional runoff.
The City currently has more than 532,000 linear feet of storm drain pipe sized from 24" to 96"
creating some 5.3 million cubic feet of storm drainage capacity. The system consists of roughly
1,000 inlet boxes and 2,000 junction/combination boxes'. The system also has 9,000 linear feet
of reinforced concrete box providing additional large flow capacity. The estimated replacement
value of the existing (non-local) storm drainage collection line's system assets are approximately
$158,631,313. There are also fifteen storm drainage pump stations with a replacement value of
$45,000,000. The City has in place an existing Storm Drainage Collection System Development
Impact Fee but that fund currently has a zero fund balance.
Property-based Benefit Reasoning. Initially, separate zones was considered for each drainage
basin within the City because each area has specific capital needs for storm-water collection.
Storm-water runoff from along the northerly area of Beach Boulevard may not directly impact the
homeowner near Huntington Harbour; similarly, a 24" collection line near Adams Avenue and the
Santa Ana River required to handle runoff from the homes in that area may provide little direct
benefit to a business in the downtown area of the City. In each case, there can be some distinct
property-related areas of benefit for each drainage basin.
User-based Benefit Reasoning, the Human Element. The owners and users of all developed and
undeveloped parcels benefit, directly and indirectly, from all Citywide existing and future storm
drainage improvements. As the various systems within the greater community of the City of
Huntington Beach develop, the benefits are generally recognized as:
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 70
HB -391-Item 5. - 314
Chapter 6 Storm Drainage Collection System
1.Proposed development projects can only be approved by the City when precautions,
generally in the form of infrastructure improvements, have been made that assure
that developed and undeveloped downstream parcels will not be adversely affected
(i.e., inundated, flooded, cut off from access in and out), by storm water from the
project being proposed. The avoidance of downstream or down-zone damage from
the development of an upstream parcel may not be a major concern to a developer,
but the City must concern itself with such issues when approving private
development proposals.
2.The private development being assessed a development impact fee will receive the
same storm-water protection from other development projects upstream or up-zone
from their own developments.
3.Storm water must be adequately controlled and removed to large scale flood control
channels or creeks to assure access by public safety vehicles to all parts of the City,
regardless of which zone a call for service is in. Fire suppression and other
paramedic calls, as well as law enforcement and public works responses cannot
wait during heavy rainstorms. To the contrary, the number of emergency calls-for-
service probably increases during such storm events and the City's public safety
and maintenance units must be able to respond, to all zones.
4.The City of Huntington Beach's citizens and business owners/employees must also
be able to travel safely in heavy rain through one storm drainage zone to another.
An adequate and sufficient storm drainage system will provide such protection.
For the above stated four reasons, RCS recommends the adoption of a single storm drainage
development impact fee to be applied Citywide. Storm runoff does recognize a boundary between
downtown and the other areas. It will leave one part of the City and pass through another to reach
its southwest ultimate location, the Pacific Ocean.
Demand Upon Infrastructure Created by the Development of Underdeveloped or Undeveloped
Parcels. The construction of flood control and storm drainage facilities is essential to the
preservation of private property, public streets, curbs and other facilities. The county or a
regional level of government is generally responsible for flood control3 , and cities are generally
responsible for storm drainage. The building of new homes and businesses on presently
undeveloped land will increase the amount of runoff and thus accelerate the need for additional
storm drainage facilities to handle increased runoff from these developing areas. As vacant and
underdeveloped parcels are developed and pervious surfaces are replaced with impervious rooftop,
parking lots, driveways, pools, and sidewalks, greater amounts of the rainfall runs off of the
developed parcel. The amount of the runoff varies with differing types of development (i.e., land-
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 71
HB -392-Item 5. - 315
Chapter 6 Storm Drainage Collection System
use) and the varying amounts are referred to as the runoff coefficients. Approximately 0.775 (or
77.5%) of rainfall that falls on a parcel developed with detached dwelling residences, exits that
developed parcel. The rate for attached dwelling residences runoff is little much higher at 0.810
(81.0%). Most business uses such as a hotel/motel, resort, retail/office and industrial have a
runoff coefficient of between 0.875 and 87.5% with industrial acres to 0.950 or 95 %. Clearly,
water runoff increases when a vacant property is developed with impervious roof-top, sidewalks
and driveways/parking lots. The cumulative effects of additional runoff must be managed with
the appropriate capital facilities to move the water and, in some cases such as during heavy
downpours, detain the storm water prior to releasing it slowly into the downstream storm drain.
The costs of the new storm drainage will be distributed by the coefficients of drainage, i.e., the
percentage of property that will end up with impervious coverage such as asphalt or cement-based
concrete drives or parking lots, rooftop, pools and any other hard surface that do not allow any
absorption into the soil.
The Purpose of the Fee. The purpose of the development impact fee is to collect fair share
contributions from the various land-uses to finance the proportional acquisition of additional storm
drainage system improvements needed to collect that additional storm water runoff from the that
same proposed development. The cost of extending the same level of storm drainage protection
to the newly developing homes and businesses as is provided to the existing community, (that has
largely paid for the existing system), can be calculated, an impact fee imposed and collected. The
impact fee revenues can then be used to expand the storm drainage facilities necessary to extend
the existing level-of-services. The City's Storm Drainage Plan identifies a total of $207,494,225
in storm drainage collection system capacity-increasing projects required to fully complete the
City's General Plan build-out network of pipes, small channels and detention ponds. This cost
cannot be mitigated by Storm Drainage System Development Impact Fee fund balance.
The Use of the Fee. The construction of storm drainage collection facilities in the City of
Huntington Beach is essential to the preservation of private property, and the millions of dollars
invested in public streets, curbs, parks and other public facilities. The building of new residences
and businesses on presently undeveloped (or underdeveloped) land will require the installation of
additional storm drainage collection lines and inlets to handle the ever increasing runoff from this
same new development. This Chapter reviews the costs of expanding the storm drainage
collection system facilities needed to accommodate the drainage generated by future development.
The revenues raised from a properly calculated and supported Storm Drainage Collection System
Development Impact Fee would be limited to capital(ized) costs related to that growth. The fees
would be used to construct additional or parallel storm drainage lines (to increase the drainage
capacity of the system). Conversely, the Storm Drainage Impact Fee receipts would not be used
to repair, replace or rehabilitate any existing storm drainage lines with adequate capacity.

Chapter 6 Storm Drainage Collection System
The Relationship Between the Need for The Public Facilities and the Type of Development
Project. There is a reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities and the types
of developments on which the fees are imposed. New residents and businesses utilize and impact
the community's existing storm drainage system which requires various storm drainage
improvements. Upon the identification of the costs of storm drainage facilities, generated by future
development, costs must be further distributed for each of the land uses (i.e., commercial and
residential uses) based on their estimated storm runoff. Detached and attached residential dwelling
development provides the most landscape percentage per parcel and thus the greatest percolation
and conversely the least runoff of storm-water. As such, these land uses should not bear the same
cost as Commercial/Office or Industrial use developments, both of which generally will have
lesser landscape area (or stated another way, have a higher percentage of impervious area) and
therefore generate a higher amount of storm water runoff.
Schedule 6.1 contains the list of storm water projects identified 4 as necessary to control the storm
water runoff resulting from the creation of an impervious surface by future development and also
continue to protect the existing developed community. The list consists of hundreds of small
projects in six storm drainage zones estimated to cost $207,494,050. For this Report, costs were
distributed between land uses on established runoff coefficients. Table 6-1 is the listing of these
runoff coefficients employed in this Report.'

Chapter 6 Storm Drainage Collection System
Since this development impact fee category is an acre-based calculation, (as opposed to the number
of units built on an acre), it is determined by applying a drainage factor to the type of land use
zone. Differences result between what the City's development rules allows (for the General Plan
Build-out Need-based Impact Fee) and what has actually been approved in the past (for the
Community Financial Commitment or Proportionality Test) can significantly skew the resulting
figures. As, an example, the City anticipates future approval of 5,307 attached dwelling units at
roughly 48 units per acre density. However, the 36,108 existing attached dwelling units generate
an average density of closer to 20 to 25 units per acre. Assuming a storm drainage impact fee
of $5,000 per acre, each existing unit would have an equity share of about $200, ($5,000 per acre
25 units per acre = $200/unit) while the future units would be assessed about $100, ($5,000 per
acre ÷ 48 units per acre = $104/unit).
Schedule 6.1 identifies the six storm drainage zones and the projects necessary to provide flood
protection and insure the ability to traverse the City during a heavy storm. The project costs total
$207,494,050 without any mitigation by Development Impact Fee fund balance.
Table 6-2, following, indicates that the 8,303.18 acres of acre-runoff factor created by the
currently developed community represents about 92.7 %of the total acre-runoff factor that can be
expected at General Plan build-out.
Table 6-2
Comparison of Storm Drainage System Attributes
At the same time the currently developed community's investment in the existing storm drainage
system, at $203,631,313 is a lesser proportion at about 49.5% of the cost of the total system at
projected General Plan build-out. Conversely that means that the current vacant and
underdeveloped parcels will generate the remaining 6.3% of the demand expected at General Plan
build-out but would, if allocated all of the remaining storm drainage projects would need to

finance the remaining 50.5% of the total General Plan cost of the system at a guaranteed
preventive (and assuredly illegal) development impact fee of about $370,000 per acre. This
clearly indicates that the City's storm drainage collection system has not been constructed
proportionally and ratably with the amount of storm runoff generated by the development in the
City to date. Stated slightly differently, with 92.7% of the City's acreage developed, the storm
drainage system should also be close to 92.7 % developed. However, such is not the case. Such
a statement can be said of virtually all of Southern California's cities. The most likely reason is
that the storm drainage system, without an exclusive revenue source, must compete with other far
more needed (or desired) capital projects within the City's limited General Fund. As an example,
a $1.0 million dollar signal modification that eliminates significant traffic delays daily, would
more likely be funded as compared to a $1.0 million storm drainage project that benefits the
community during a few hours of the few rainiest days of the year.
A fair cost allocation would be to recognize that future additional drainage represents
approximately 6.3% of the total at General Plan build-out thus should be allocated roughly 6.3%
of the total cost of the remaining projects. Table 6-3, following, indicates the impact fee amounts
that would need to be imposed to pay for the cost of completing the portion of the system's
collection pipes and channels identified by staff to be financed with impact fees. It would be
reasonable to expect future development to finance its proportional share of the identified storm
drainage needs without violating the proportionality rule as has been done with other development
impact fees in this report.

Chapter 6 Storm Drainage Collection System
The Relationship Between the Use of the Fee and the Type of Development Paying the Fee. There
is a reasonable relationship between the fees' use and the types of projects on which the fees are
imposed. The Storm Drainage Collection System Development Impact Fees that are imposed and
collected will be used to mitigate the storm water runoff generated by the various types of
development. If the development is a commercial/office or industrial/manufacturing property
generating a significant amount of runoff, the fee collected will be proportionally higher and will
be enough to construct the required additions to the storm drainage system downstream from this
development.
From time to time the City may require an applicant of a private project to construct an
improvement (or portion thereof) that is on the list of required improvements at the end of this
Chapter. This is often done to expedite the project for the applicant/developer. The developer
should receive a credit for any money expended on this required improvement against their
calculated storm drainage collection system impact fee. An ordinance clearly addressing the issue
of credits should be prepared and added to the City of Huntington Beach Municipal Code should
one not fully exist at this time.
The Relationship Between the Amount of the Fee and the Cost of the Portion of the Facility
Attributed to the Development Project. Each new development, or demand increasing
redevelopment, would finance a proportional amount of the expansion of the City's storm drainage
collection system. Similar to the previous findings, the relationship is based upon the projected
amount of storm water to be collected, contained and safely transported to flood control channels
or rivers as a proportion of the entire amount of storm water to be so conveyed. The downstream
collection lines (lines further down from the proposed project but prior the outfall into a river or
flood control channel) need to be sized to handle all of the storm-water collected upstream. Storm-
water that is collected in one location accumulates with feeder lines along the way and thus the
downstream system must be built increasingly larger (at increasing higher material and
construction costs) the further it gets away from its source.
Table 6-4 distributes the total existing community financial commitment (or equity value) of the
existing system, at $203,631,313, consisting of the actual storm drainage pipe, channels and
detention basins. Please note that the resulting development impact cost, by land use, is in terms
of units such as residential dwellings or commercial/office and industrial/manufacturing square
feet of building pad (including multiple floors).

Table 6-4
Distribution of Current Equity-based Commitment in
Storm Drainage System Collection (or Proportionality Verification)
Of note is the fact that Table 6-4 summarizing Schedule 6.3, the investment "investment" (albeit
General Plan proportionally deficient) of the current community is slightly greater, (at about 8%)
of the previously exhibited General Plan Build-out Needs-based fees identified in Table 6-3
summarizing Schedule 6.2. Based upon these proportional facts, the adoption of the General Plan
Build-out Needs-based fees identified in Schedule 6.2 and summarized in Table 6-3, would be
reasonable and equitable.
RESULTING DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
The adoption of Schedule 6.2 at the end of this chapter, as summarized in Table 6-3 and based
upon as the Storm Drainage Collection System Development Impact Fees would generate
approximately $13.0 million in capital revenues with which to construct a portion of the
remaining $207.4 million in the storm drainage infrastructure required to complete the system.
The City should adopt both the per unit fees, i.e., the dwelling unit fees and the square foot
business construction square foot fees and the per acre figures under the column heading titled
Cost Distribution per Acre on Schedule 6.2. The former is for application to projects that include
a building creating new demand for all infrastructure and the latter for projects merely creating
additional runoff (e.g. a parking structure).

CHAPTER ENDNOTES
1.Storm drainage pipe below the size of 21" is almost exclusively used for "local" or tract storm water collection
and is thus not included in the equity calculation. In Huntington Beach this amounts to an additional 80,100 linear
foot of reinforced concrete pipe that is 18" to 21'' and considered to be "local" in nature and thus not included in
this calculation.
2.Roughly assumes inlet boxes constructed at 425 linear foot intervals, combination boxes at 750 foot intervals and
junction boxes at 300 linear foot intervals.
3.Projects of major importance generally involving the control of large quantities of flood water (over 500 C.F.S.)
through numerous cities and unincorporated areas.

Public Library Facilities and Collection
The Existing System. The City's library system consists of five library facilities providing a total
of 127,400 square feet. When the 127,400 square feet of the library building space is divided by
the City's residential population of 190,377', a space standard of 0.669 square feet/resident is
established, (127,400 square feet of library space 190,377 residents). The City's library
operations also house an extensive inventory of 410,594 collection items contained within the five
libraries. When the 410,594 collection items are divided by the City's residential service
population of 190,377 2 , a collection item standard of 2.157 library collection items/resident is
established, (410,594 collection item's ÷ 190,377 residents).
Demand Upon Infrastructure Created by the Development of Underdeveloped or Undeveloped
Parcels. Stated simply, the 127,400 square feet of library facilities utilized by the City will
accommodate only a finite number of collection items and residents/patrons. Additional residential
development will increase the demand on the existing square feet of library pad and the existing
collection items.
The Purpose of the Fee. The purpose of the fee is to enable the City to collect a fee that would
allow the City to construct additional square feet that would ensure that the City's existing and new
residents would have adequate and sufficient access to and enjoyment of the library space and
collection. The calculation in Table 7-1, following, establishes the City's existing de-facto library
standards.

The library system also has a collection of 410,594 collection items 3 generating a collection
standard of 2.157 collection items per resident within the system (410,594 collection item's
190,377 persons). Table 6-3, following, indicates the additional number of residents to be
served and the number of collection items required to maintain the existing standard. The City will
need to acquire roughly 36,861 collection items to maintain the existing 2.028 collection items per
person in light of the additional 17,089 additional Huntington Beach residents expected at General
Plan build-out.

The Use of the Fee. The fee, if adopted, would be imposed, collected, and, as needed (and
desired), expended on expansion of the amount of library facility space in the two libraries and
the number of collection items in the system's collection. The library staff has indicated that the
proceeds of any Library development impact fee would be used to expand the Banning Library
from its 2,400 square feet to approximately 12,500 square feet and expansion of the existing 4,500
square feet Main Street Branch Libraries into the remaining 4,804 square feet (for a total of 9,304
square feet) in the same building after the current tenant chooses to move elsewhere. Collection
items would be expanded in proportion with the population increase, most likely into the additional
proposed library space.
The Relationship Between the Need for the Fee and the Type of Development Project. The
development of any acreage zoned for residential uses, increases the demand on the finite amount
of library space and collection items. Thus, those residential land uses that generate higher
numbers of residents (i.e. , detached dwelling) will be charged a proportionally higher amount.

HB -405-Item 5. - 328
Chapter 7 Public Library Facilities and Collection
There is no information available demonstrating a substantive link between library use and local
businesses. Library use is primarily by residents as opposed to business persons.
The Relationship Between the Use of the Fee and the Type of Development Paying the Fee.
Additional square feet will be constructed with the DIFs collected from residential development
and additional collection items will be added to the existing collection. If not adopted and used
to expand the City's existing Library standards' the level of service will decrease by about 8.3%
to 0.620 square feet and 1.98 collection items per resident at General Plan build-out. The Library
DIFs, if adopted, imposed and collected, cannot be used for any other purpose than their stated
use of maintaining the existing library standards.
The Relationshi Between the Amount of the Fee and the Cost of the Portion of the Facility_
Attributed to the Development Project. The cost of acquiring land for additional library space
and construction is about $520.63 per square foot'', (per Schedule 6.1). The 127,400 square feet
of library space, when divided by the 190,377 existing potential patrons create a standard of 0.669
square feet of library space per City resident. The standard of 0.669 square foot standard
multiplied by the $520.63 per square foot of pad cost of library construction results in a charge
of $348.30 per additional City resident. Table 7-4 following, demonstrates this.

The cost of acquiring additional collection items, called the accession process 5 , (per Schedule 6.1)
is estimated by the Library staff to cost roughly $25.00 per collection item. The 410,594
collection items, when divided by the City's 190,377 population create a standard of 2.028
collection items per City resident. The standard of 2.157 collection item standard multiplied by
the $25.00 per collection item results in a cost of $53.93 per additional City resident, in order to
maintain the existing standard. Table 7-5 following, demonstrates this.

•Establish a General Plan square foot standard for Library Facilities square feet per resident and
a standard for Collection Items per resident.
Chapter Endnotes
I. Based upon the 2011 State of California Department of Finance City population estimate of 190,377.
2.The current population of 190,377 establishes the existing standard.
3.A collection item is generally a book but can also be a CD, magazine subscription, video tape or some other
like item with a similar cost and accession cost.
4.Based upon the construction cost of a 30,000 square foot library constructed in Highland, CA at a cost of
$11,500,000 and increased by the Engineering News Record construction cost index increase of 14.95% over the
01/06 construction date (or $441.63 per square foot) and land acquisition at a cost of $20 per square foot of land
with a FAR (floor area ratio) of 0.20 requiring five square feet of land per square foot of building pad. 06/2010
ENR- CCI = 8805 divided by the 01/06 ENR - CCI of 7660 = 14.95 percent increase.
5.The accession process includes: needs research, ordering, receipt, preparation, entering it into the computer and
actual placement on the shelves.

Chapter 8
Park Land Acquisition and
Park Facilities Development (including Open Space)
This Chapter summarizes the City's existing inventory of parks and identifies the ratio of park land
(and park facilities improvements) per resident allowable under the Quimby Act (§66477 of the
Government Code') for residential developments involving the subdivision of land and AB1600
(§66000) for the construction of residential developments not involving the subdivision of land.
The existing per capita standard is then utilized to calculate the park dedication requirement for
future residential development.
EXISTING PARKS AND PARK IMPROVEMENTS SYSTEM
Open space notwithstanding, intensive parks and recreational facilities constitute one of the City
of City of Huntington Beach's greatest needs both with respect to facilities for current residents
and future citizens. The provision of a well-planned park system, with a variation in the size and
nature of facilities offered, is an important amenity to residents of any city, the City of City of
Huntington Beach included. A mixture of passive and active uses and facilities and programs
which appeal to a broad spectrum of potential park and trail users are considered optimal in most
urban cities. The City currently has at its disposal (and within general control) some 999.09 acres
of park, beach and specialty uses for use by the City's many residents. However, not all of these
acres are owned by the City, many are leased or owned by other agencies made available to the
City via a joint use agreements with the various school districts or are S. C. E. right-of-way.
The current acres dedicated to park use (and owned or under long-term control by the City) can
reasonably well serve the City's current needs. However if the number of owned park acres
remains static at 778.41 acres, the City may not be able to continue to meet recreational demands
in light the probable 9.0% increase in the City's population. At an attempt to achieve a high level
of fairness, the City's owned park acreage will be used as the standard for calculating the park
standard and the development impact fee schedule. The figure is a Government Code statute-based
calculation and thus does not include other park opportunities in the area such as Harriet Weider
Regional Park, which while clearly serving the City residents, are not City-facilities and thus
cannot be programmed by the City. The City has a General Plan standard target of 5.0 acres per
1,000 acres per residents and the calculation of target does include the park acres of other agencies
(i.e. the regional park and state-owned beach land) within the calculation of that General Plan

target. That is completely acceptable for General Plan issues, and the City does meet that General
Plan standard.
Future residential development, by increasing the City's population, will impact the City's park
system by requiring additional athletic fields, adequate space for various athletic activities and
community center space. Given the magnitude of growth projected in this and other reports, the
challenge facing the City will be to provide new facilities and park land to serve the recreational
needs of these new residents. Without additional park land acquisition and development of
currently owned but underutilized park land during the remaining period of private residential
development, the City's parks will become overcrowded and overused, with the ultimate result
becoming a negative experience for park users.
Existing Park Land and Open Space Land. Currently, the City owns (or has long-tern control of)
approximately 778.41 acres of traditional park land, about 87.9 %(683.9 acres) of it, developed.
The entire list of parks and their acreage is identified on Schedule 8.1 at the conclusion of this
Chapter with a summary by type in Table 8-1. Central Park is the largest developed park,
representing just under a half of the park system acreage and provides the greatest variety of sports
and passive uses.
Table 8-1
Current Park Total Inventory
City Park Standard. Table 8-2, following, is a comparison of the acreage of parks to the City of
Huntington Beach's current population and indicates that the City presently possesses a total
standard of 5.248 acres of park land per 1,000 residents, (999.09 park acres ÷ [190,377 resident's
÷ 1,0001, rounded). However as stated previously, the owned acreage will be used to calculate
the standard and resulting impact fee. The City presently owns 778.41 acres and thus possesses
an owned standard of 4.089 acres of owned park land per 1,000 residents, (778.41 owned park
acre's ÷ [190,377 resident's 1,0001, rounded). This is above the benchmark of 3.0 acres per

Table 8-2
Calculation of Actual City-owned and Developed Park Acres Standard
The Quimby Act, to be discussed later, allows a minimum standard of 3.0 acres per thousand
resident's even if the City has not attained that standard. However, the park acres owned standard
for the City of Huntington Beach, at 4.089 acres per 1,000 resident's, exceeds that minimum
standard and thus the Quimby allowable minimum standard of 3.0 acres per 1,000 new residents
is irrelevant and the 4.089 acres/1,000 resident's standard will be used for Park Land Acquisition
and Park Facilities Development. Though not particularly relevant2 to the City of Huntington
Beach, the Quimby Act has a cap on land dedications required as a part of the subdivision of land
of 5.0 acres per thousand (Government Code §66447 (a)(2).
Planned Improvements. In addition to the ongoing improvement of the remaining 115.85 acres'
available for increased residential development, the City will need to acquire 70.5 additional park
acres, per Table 8-3, and develop these new parks to serve the additional 17,089 residents
anticipated to live in City of Huntington Beach at General Plan build-out.

Parks Acres Required to Maintain Standard 70.5
The 70.5 acres could be constructed in any of the following configurations:
Mini or "Pocket" Parks - This type is the smallest of the park type designations, usually an acre
or less. Mini parks are generally not planned due to higher maintenance costs. They are usually
the result of the acquisition of an unusual parcel oftentimes with historical or community
significance. Tarbox, Booster, Trinidad or Baily Parks are good examples of this category.
Local or Neighborhood Parks - These parks are generally 3.0 to six acres and serve local (walk-
in distance) users. Not surprisingly, the City has a number of these parks, roughly forty-nine at
an average of about 3.5 acres in size. Neighborhood Parks, per the category title, are intended to
serve walk-in populations nearby the park and typically are not highly programmed with City-run
activities.
Community - These parks, to be functional, are usually closer to ten acres or larger and are
designed to meet the needs of the entire community. These needs include youth and adult sports
organizations, clubs or associations and large scale community events such as 4" of July
celebrations or festivals. Langenbeck, Baca, Bartlett, Carr and Gisler Parks are good examples
of a broad-based use community park.
Sport Parks - These park, again as titled, are highly infrastructure-developed to meet the active
sports needs of both youth and adults. Edison and Greer Parks are good examples of the City's
sports parks.
The proposed park improvements that could be contained within the roughly 65 needed acres and
the existing standard (Table 8-2) are consistent with the City's Park and Recreation Element of the
General Plan. The City's 3.785 acres per 1,000 population standard speaks reasonably well for
the City as a three-acre per 1,000 population standard is the common minimum, but frequently

unmet, target of municipalities and recreation and park special districts throughout California. City
staff has plans and has identified parcels that would assist help reach the 5.0 acres per 1,000
standard at General Plan build-out.
CALCULATION OF PARK DEDICATION STANDARD
Unlike the other facilities discussed in this Report, the California Government Code contains
specific enabling legislation for the acquisition and development of community and neighborhood
parks by a City. This legislation, codified as Section 66477 of the Government Code and known
commonly as the "Quimby Act," establishes criteria for charging new development for park
facilities based on specific park standards. This Report will recommend the adoption of Quimby-
style park fees over an AB 1600-style development impact fee for developments requiring the
subdivision of land and an AB 1600 fee for non subdivided land.
Allowable Park Standard As stated earlier, under Section 66477 of the Government Code, the
City may charge new residential development based on a standard of 3.0 acres per 1,000
population if the City does not presently possess a ratio of 3.0 acres per 1,000 for the existing
population. The Government Code also enables a city to charge development based on a standard
higher than 3 0 acres (to a maximum of 5.0 acres) if the City currently exceeds the minimum
benchmark ratio of 3.0 acres per 1,000 persons. Schedule 8.1 indicates that the City exceeds that
minimum standard (with 3.785 acres/1,000 residents) and may then impose a fee in order to
maintain that standard.
The law states that "if the amount of existing neighborhood and community park area ... exceeds
the [3 acres of park area per 1,000 person] limit the legislative body may adopt the calculated
amount as a higher standard not to exceed 5 acres per 1,000 persons."' Park fees may be required
by the City provided that the City meets certain conditions including:
•The amount and location of land to be dedicated or the fees to be paid shall bear a
reasonable relationship to the use of the park by the future inhabitants of the subdivision.
•The legislative body has adopted a general plan containing a recreational element, and the
park and recreational facilities are in accordance with definite principles and standards
contained therein.
•The city ... shall develop a schedule specifying how, when, and where it will use the land
or fees, or both, to develop park or recreational facilities ... Any fees collected under the
ordinance shall be committed within five years after the payment of such fees.
Once a per capita standard for parks is determined, the cost of residential development's impact
on the City's park system can then be computed as follows:

Chapter 8 Park Land Acquisition and Park Facilities Development
Park-land Acquisition Costs. Land costs will vary significantly from one park to another. The
park land to be acquired must be suitable for park construction and is somewhat conservatively
estimated at approximately $871,200 per acre (or $20.00/square foot) which has been used in the
park development impact fee calculation, as a default park development impact fee for ordinary
residential dwelling development. This is consistent with the cost of recent development for
detached dwelling development in the more northerly areas of the City of Huntington Beach area.
However, the use of this $20.00 per square foot figure could be criticized if a developer can show
that the cost of the residential land they are developing is currently valued at less than the
$871,200/acre figure. Conversely the City should retain the ability to increase this impact fee in
areas where the cost of land exceeds the $20.00 per square foot figure. The fee recommendation
at the end of the Chapter will recognize this need for flexibility.
Park Development Costs. Park development costs are based upon the very recent construction of
Schedule 8.3, a current schedule of common park costs and typical improvements by type of park.
Schedule 8.2 identifies the three types par& that the City will likely construct over General Plan
build-out6 and the costs of the types and numbers of improvements generally included in each of
the following and are summarized from Schedule 8.2, identifies the factors in the average costs
to develop an acre of park land for the three types, based on figures which are consistent with the
probable improvements and costs to build similar parks incurred by other communities. For cost
estimate purposes, roughly forty-five acres of Central Park has been identified as higher cost
sports park acres with the remainder as Community Park. Sixty acres of beach land has been
categorized as neighborhood park due to the nature of the more limited improvement costs. The
table also indicates the three major types of parks. The existing 834.06 developed park acres' cost
the City an estimated $258,698,242 construct as parks for an average construction cost of
$310.168 per acre.
Table 8-4
Average Park Construction Cost per Acre
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 94
HB -415-Item 5. - 338
Chapter 8 Park Land Acquisition and Park Facilities Development
The $310,168/acre is then increased by 15% to $356,693 to account for the park architectural
costs and 24% to $442,299/acre to account for project administration, plan check, engineering,
inspection and materials testing costs. Lastly, the $422,299 per acre figure is increased by 15%
to $508,644 for a typical park project contingency. Schedule 8.2 shows this in numeric detail.
Schedule 8.3 details the average park construction cost by type of park.
The Existing Park Community Center Inventory. The City has a number of facilities dedicated
for use as public uses facilities (as opposed to staff facilities). The existing 118,020 square feet
of Community Use Facilities are identified in Table 8-5, following.

Chapter 8 Park Land Acquisition and Park Facilities Development
The City has 118,020 public use community center square feet as identified in Table 8-5 previous.
When divided by the City's 849.58 acres of developed park land the result indicates an average
of 138.92 square feet of community center per acre of developed park. At the development cost
of $480.00 per square foot of community center, there is a cost of $66,680 for the 138.92 average
square feet of public uses facilities per acre of existing developed park (138.92 square feet
multiplied by the $480 per square foot of community center construction). The $66,680 represents
the future cost of maintaining the existing square feet of community center per acre of park, and
as a result, per capita.
Average Park Acquisition and Development Cost per Capita. The combined park acquisition and
development cost is $1,446,524 per acre ($871,200/acre for acquisition, $508,644 per acre for
development and $77,780 for community center space acquisition). If the City were to charge
development for the maximum allowable amount of park acreage as allowed in the Quimby Act
and as recommended here, then the City would need to acquire 4.128 acres of new park land for
every potential 1,000 new residents to the City. The 4,128 acres of land acquisition and park and
community center improvements per 1,000 persons would be $6,130,008 or about 6,130.01 per
new resident. Table 8-6 and Schedule 8.1 calculates the cost, per type of residential dwelling, to
develop 4.089 acres, which represents the required park land cost for 1,000 persons.
Table 8-6
Summary of Quimby Park/AB1600 Development Impact Fees for
Residential Dwelling Construction
The development impact fees for residential detached dwelling development involving the
subdivision of land, as identified in Table 8-6, should be adopted under the auspices of the
Quimby Act. The development impact fees for residential dwelling units not requiring the
subdivision of a parcel, will need to be adopted as an AB 1600-supported development impact fee.

Chapter 8 Park Land Acquisition and Park Facilities Development
Open Space Fees for Business Uses. Imagine a community without any (or very little) park or
open space. There a small number of such communities in the greater Los Angeles area. All
private development benefits from the acquisition of land that is never developed, and exists, at
a minimum, as a buffer from all other businesses. Schedule 8.4 identifies the cost for park land
(as open space) for the business type land-uses. Again, the City owns 778.4 acres of park space
which at a minimum acts as open space for all land uses. There are 10,271.8 acres of privately
held developed land within the City's limits. As a result there is 0.0758 acres of park/open space
for each developed privately held acre. The 0.0758 acres of open space per privately held acre
is the recommended standard to be applied to the development of vacant parcels zoned for the
business uses of commercial and resort lodging, commercial/office and industrial/manufacturing
uses. The open space land acquisition cost will be limited to 25% of the $20.00 per square foot
(or $871,200 per acre) acquisition cost based upon the premise that business use benefits largely
from the open space component and but does not require the benefits of developed parks and that
open space land acquisition costs are less than land appropriate for parks. The cost to acquire that
0.0578 acre of park land would be $16,605. Again the cost is limited to only open space land
acquisition, but does not include the development component of that land as a park. That will fall
to the developers of residentially zoned land that will generate park users (residents). Business
acres benefit from the parks as open areas that make the City a desirable location for that business.
The $300,000 per acre of development will be divided by the varying units from the three
differing types of business uses in Table 8-7. Schedule 8.5 is summarized in Table 8-7 following.
Table 8-7
Cost Calculation for Business Uses
Note: A lodging unit is defmed as keyed room.
Land Acquisition Cost Adjustment Challenge. As mentioned previously, the use of $871,200/acre
as the default park land acquisition cost is based upon the assumption that parks acreage would
likely be close in proximity and thus similar in cost to residential land value of the private project
the park is intended to serve. However, if the developer or contractor of a home can provide
Huntington Beach 2011-12 Development Impact Fee Calculation Report 97
HB -418-Item 5. - 341
Chapter 8 Park Land Acquisition and Park Facilities Development
evidence (acceptable to the City), in the form of a recent purchase agreement or appraisal of the
property they will be developing that the current land value is worth less than the $871,200/acre
(or a $20.00/square foot), the development impact fee could be adjusted accordingly by placing
the actual cost of land acquisition into the Schedule 8.1 calculation. Again, if the City wishes to
adopt such an adjustment, the terms under which the challenge may be made and proved should
be included in the Development Impact Fee Ordinance. Similarly, if a development is closer to the
beach area and land costs are higher, the City should be able to impose a park development impact
fee consistent with the local land acquisition costs. Schedule 8.1 shows this calculation.

NOTES:
(1).Only 34 of the 295 acres are vacant lots, The remaining 261 acres represents acres for the addition of 1,566 detached dwelling units
in areas already developed such as a lot split of a larger parcel parcel with an existing detached dwelling units.
(2).The inclusion of one acre of Mobile (or modular) Home Dwelling Units (in parks) is to establish such a fee and does not imply that
that the City anticipates such a private proposal.
(3).The 35.2 acres is not intended to suggest there is 35.2 acres of vacant acres in the downtown area. The 35.2 acres is the result
of anticipating 648 additional units at roughly 40 units per acre.

Meeting Date: 4/3/2017
Statement of Issue:
There is a need for the City Council to review and approve the conceptual master plan of
improvements for Irby Park. Per City Council Direction, Community Services Department staff has
worked with various stakeholders to develop a conceptual master plan for the Park.
Financial Impact:
Funding will be identified and recommended to City Council upon the completion of the entitlement
process and a final determination of costs. Possible options include a joint public/private
partnership utilizing both grants, park funds, community donations, and volunteer services.
Recommended Action:
A) Approve the Conceptual Master Plan for Improvements at Irby Park as presented, and;
B) Approve updating the Irby Park Master Plan, along with potential updates and/or changes to the
existing park.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the Conceptual Master Plan for Improvements for Irby Park as presented, and
direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
As part of the 2016 and 2017 Strategic Planning sessions, City Council included improvements to
the undeveloped portion of Irby Park as a quality of life Strategic Objective. In 2016, Council
directed the Community Services Department to collaborate with Cal State University, Long Beach
(CSULB) to develop an improvement plan based upon community input. The 2017 Strategic Plan
also includes an objective to develop a conceptual plan for Irby Park and present it to the
Community Services Commission and City Council for consideration. Per the objective, the plan is
to be presented to Council before June 1, 2017.
Irby Park is located at 6770 Ruth Drive. It is within the residential tract bordered by Goldenwest
Street, Heil Avenue, Edwards Street and Warner Avenue. The park is 10.91 acres, consisting of
2.91 developed land and eight acres of undeveloped land. The developed portion of the park was
purchased in 1964 and partially constructed in 1971. The undeveloped portion of the park was
acquired through a donation and land dedication from a private developer. The undeveloped

property has peat moss conditions, which makes the area undesirable for the placement of
structures such as single family homes.
Over the years, the City has looked at a few options to develop the property and at one point,
considered declaring it surplus. In 1989 proposals with an offer to sell the land were solicited
however, no offers were received. Shortly after, Charter Section 612 (“Measure C”) was
established to require that any sale or lease of park property be subject to a vote of the public.
Since the 8-acre area is zoned and included in the City’s inventory as parkland, any disposition
would be subject to a public vote. Past development concepts included a water treatment facility in
2006 and more recently, a community garden in 2014 however, neither option came to fruition.
Per City Council direction, staff has worked with Cal State Long Beach University Long Beach –
Department of Recreation & Leisure Studies (CSULB) to solicit community input on the type of
amenities and designs they envisioned for the undeveloped portion of the park. The CSULB
students prepared and sent out a survey to residents within 1,000 feet of the park. (Attachment 1)
The survey results indicated that the overall design should be passive in nature. Desired amenities
included walking paths, restoration of existing vegetation, increased and improved landscaping and
pet friendly features.
Based upon the survey results, the CSULB students under the guidance of university faculty
developed a concept plan for improvements. The plan was presented to the Community Services
Commission on April 11, 2016. (Attachment 2) The plan took into consideration that the majority of
respondents desired a passive design for the park. The plan received positive comments from the
Commission and staff was directed to work with a professional landscape firm to further refine the
plan and develop cost estimates for implementation. RJM Design Group has prepared a
conceptual plan based upon the work of the CSULB students and staff input. (Attachment 3)
The main components of the plan include a loop trail system, landscape improvements, benches
and dog bag dispensers. The plan also calls for decorative fencing along Dale Vista and a park
identification sign. Other elements of the plan include security lighting and turf hydro-seeding, and
irrigation. To complete this project as shown on the conceptual plan, Engineering estimates show
the cost to fully develop the 8 acre site at approximately $1.9 million. Because of the passive
nature of this park, this estimate is much lower than the average cost of $585,000 per acre, which
the City normally uses to develop cost estimates.
As a part of this request, Council is not being asked to approve funding for the project however;
staff will look at funding options including possible grants and donations, as well as the use of
volunteer support to complete some of the elements on the plan as a phased project. Staff
estimates that the initial phase of this project would be approximately $150,000. This would include
both professional installations together with community volunteer projects. However, before any in-
depth strategies for improvements can occur, the environmental review for the project must be
completed and an approved plan for the park must be established.
As with all park master plans – new or updated, approval must come from both the Community
Services Commission and City Council. The Community Services Commission approved the plan
at the March 8, 2017 meeting. If the City Council approves the concept for the park, the project
would go through the entitlement process, including any required environmental approvals. Staff will
then return to City Council for funding as a part of the CIP process. Staff is therefore
recommending approval of the conceptual plan as presented.
Environmental Status:
The project will go through the required environmental process per direction from the Community
Development Department – Planning Division staff.

Check all the ways it is used now. You cannot replicate that when it is developed
I have been resident of the neighborhood for 25 years and love the open undeveloped land. I feel that
upgrading the land will bring more unwanted traffic to the neighborhood.

We don't want the rif raf brought into the neighborhood.
I live across the street from the undeveloped area of Irby Park and since my house was burglarized years ago,
the police recommendation has been, "take down the license number of any suspicious vehicle that parks
across the street." I DO NOT want more traffic on MY street.

seem to be enough.

Like the idea of a nature center type setting - see the Secret Garden in Huntington Central Park. Paths
through Cali Native plantings and trees.
Anything that can make for a nice outing with the family will be greatly appreciated! For example, I like the idea
of picnicking there, BUT if there are LEGITIMATE concerns over loitering/etc then I'm also okay without picnic
facilities.
No official sports field as it would impact parking in nearby streets. No restrooms as that would bring in all the
transients, drifters, & homeless.
No sports fields or courts.
Play structure and recyclable water feature.
Our house backs to the field and we really only want to see paths for walking/biking and trees!!
We love to walk our dogs back there but sometimes when it's overgrown it's hard so walking paths would be
awesome!!
Community garden
I would prefer a park for our neighborhood that would bring in people that like to relax and get close to nature,
walk your dog, etc. I do not want low income housing to bring down the home rates and bring in a different
kind of neighborhood vibe. I have been a home owner here for over 30 years, this has been such a great place
to raise our children and live in a comfortable safe neighborhood.
After all the years it has been promised to home owners to be a park it's just time to get it done. A park forever
and a day 50 years ago is a long time to wait.
I lived in this neighborhood as a kid many years ago and visit occasionally. I don't think a sports field would be
good because parking would be an issue.it should remain a simple park with walking paths lighting and nice
amenities for kids to play.
A section of park has remained an open field which gets over grown and becomes a fire hazard, since it is
often used as a launch site for fireworks. Restore local plants and maintain only, perhaps add some water
sprinklers.
Radio controlled car area.
This land has sat idle and undeveloped for decades, literally. The tract is booming with younger families as
most of our parents have passed away and the houses we grew up have been sold. With all the development
happening in our beloved city and quite honestly I do not see it coming to halt anytime soon. It would be in the
best interest of the neighborhood and community if parcel of land was developed as a finished/landscaped
park and sports facility. Anything other than a community park would be a travesty to what is now becoming a
tourist Mecca in our beautiful beachside community. Save Irby!!
Keep it natural. No concrete.
I would love a water feature.
I think it is important to clean it up and make it user friendly but SAFE so keeping it well lit and open is
important. Also why I don't think it is a good idea to add restrooms. I don't live right on the park but think it has
to be a passive space if that is right word so as not to negatively affect those that do live on the adjacent
properties.
Close-by Murdy Park has courts and fields; I would like to see Irby Park developed to be pleasing to the eye
and a place for a leisurely walk or picnic. Thank you.
No sports fields already have too many problems quick people from out of area coming in and making a mess
of the existing Park
When this track was first put in. The developer was supposed to complete the park because we do not have a
school within our homes like the other areas around us so the park was going to be completed for our kids to
play at. We need places open for the kids to ride their bikes and play in the dirt
NO BATHROOMS! This will attract people to the park during odd hours and make houses more accessible to
vandalism. I'd like to keep the park bathroom free!!!!!!
I like the open space but it is not very attractive the way it is. It needs to be improved to match the developed
part of the park.
Needs better security at night, do many druggies hanging out and destroying property in the park. Do not use
undeveloped area because of its condition. Must be sure we do not disturbed homes privacy that backing up to
park.
Drinking fountain.
Any improvements would be welcome, just NO HOUSING of any kind.

Incorporate anything that encourages pet friendly use of the park but not anything that will allow people to stay
too late into the night and not anything that will allow people to spend the night at the park.
Water features like the city commissioned park improvement plan would be amazing. Environmental water
reclamation along with useful beauty. http://irbypark.org/city-commissioned-irby-park-improvement-plan/
A water feature would be amazing, like a splash pad for the kids, or a pond.
It depends on the budget, it would be good if the park has basketball and tennis courts (2 each).
Even xeriscaping with paths would look better than the way it is now. Parks unfortunately take water.
While HB has many sports fields and recreational parks, there are precious few natural environments and
gardens. I would love a place that supports that vital connection.
As natural as possible and not too many trees too close together. (Spooky if someone hiding in there.)
Irrigation and mowing to make it less of an eyesore.
I would like this area to continue to serve the neighborhood, not something which would draw residents from
all over the city. Our track is very quiet and we would like it to stay that way.
Open, undeveloped space is preferred by most here. If it had been mowed regularly, instead of waiting twice a
year and "haying" the long grass which fueled weeds, it would be a nice open space park today.
Some small seating.

Meeting Date: 4/3/2017
Statement of Issue:
Residents along Polynesian Lane and Regatta Drive have petitioned the City to establish a
residential permit parking district, Permit Parking District “U” in Huntington Beach.
Financial Impact:
The provisions of Huntington Beach Municipal Code Chapter 10.42 requires that the residents
choosing to participate in a residential permit parking district pay a proportionate share of the cost
to establish or amend the district making the district cost neutral to the City. Typical costs include,
but are not limited to, installation of signs, curb markings, staff time to issue permits, and
administrative costs to create or amend the district.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution No. 2017-12, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Establishing Permit Parking District “U” on Regatta Drive and Polynesian Lane Within the City of
Huntington Beach.”
Alternative Action(s):
Deny the recommended action.
Analysis:
Public Works received a petition signed by residents on properties along Polynesian Lane, Regatta
Drive, and Bobbie Circle requesting a permit parking district on those streets. The reasons the
residents are requesting permit parking is to have the ability to park during the day without time
restrictions, while retaining the existing on-street parking restrictions which address Edison High
School students parking issues in the neighborhood. On Polynesian Lane, Regatta Drive, and a
portion of Bobbie Circle, the current parking restrictions are one (1) hour parking on weekdays
between 10 am to 2 pm, except holidays. The request would allow the residents access to on-
street parking longer than one hour while still controlling the commuter parking associated with the
students.
Following procedures in Municipal Code Chapter 10.42 (Permit Parking Districts) staff validated the
petition, determined the concerns of the residents require further consideration, and examined the
proposed boundaries. The original streets in the area staff considered for permit parking were
Regatta Drive, Polynesian Lane, Bobbie Circle, Niguel Circle, and Adelia Circle. Ballots were sent
to residents on these streets to vote on the proposal (total of 99 addresses). The code requires a

SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution No. 2017-12 establishing Permit Parking District “U” affecting

minimum of seventy-five percent (75%) of the property units be in favor to continue the evaluation
process. Polynesian Lane between Regatta Drive and Bobbie Circle, and Regatta Drive west of
Polynesian Lane received seventy-five percent (75%) or greater in favor of the proposal. The
voting results of the remaining streets did not exceed forty percent (40%) in support of permit
parking.
As stated in the Municipal Code, staff is required to investigate the parking conditions on the
requested permit parking streets. Staff cannot document how much “commuter parking” demand
exists in the neighborhood due to the current parking restrictions which already manage student
parking intrusion. Staff assumed that there would be sufficient parking demand from the high
school students if the current parking restrictions were not in place to satisfy the minimum
commuter parking impact requirement.
To provide a framework for considering the residents request, staff conducted parking observations
during school days at various times of the day to confirm staff assumptions about the likely parking
demand on the streets and to assess the existing parking conditions. Staff observed that on a
typical school day during the time before the parking restrictions are in effect, Regatta Drive and
Polynesian Lane, between Regatta Drive and Bobbie Circle, have a significantly higher parking
occupancy than during the parking restriction times. Staff believes this supports the conclusion that
there would be sufficient commuter parking demand in the neighborhood if the current parking
restrictions did not exist.
Based on the ballot results, parking observations, and discussions with the requesting residents,
the recommended permit parking streets for Permit Parking District “U” are Polynesian Lane from
Regatta Drive to Bobbie Circle, and Polynesian Lane west of Regatta Drive. The new parking
district would replace the existing one-hour parking restrictions along the areas that overlap with the
current parking restrictions. The areas with the current parking restrictions, that are not included in
the new parking district, are recommended to be unchanged. One unrestricted parking area, the
bulb at the west end of Regatta Drive, would require permits with implementation of the parking
district.
Public Works Commission Action:
None required.
Environmental Status:
The project is categorically exempt from CEQA.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain public safety

Following procedures in City Municipal Code Chapter 10.42 (Permit Parking Districts) residents
submitted a petition requesting permit parking. The petition included signatures from residents on

Regatta Drive, Bobbie Circle, Adelia Circle, and Polynesian Lane. Staff validated the petition and
determined the concerns require further consideration. The original streets in the area staff
considered for permit parking were Regatta Drive, Polynesian Lane, Bobbie Circle, Niguel Circle, and
Adelia Circle. Ballots were sent to residents on these streets to vote on the proposal. Regatta Drive
west of Polynesian Lane, and Polynesian Lane between Regatta Drive and Bobbie Circle received the
minimum of 75 percent in favor of the proposal for further consideration. The voting results of the
remaining streets did not exceed 40 percent in support of permit parking.
City Municipal Code Chapter 10.42 requires an investigation to be conducted to determine if certain
parking related conditions exist in the area to evaluate the parking district request. Staff evaluated the
parking conditions of the streets and the information is presented on the following pages.

Analysis:
Along Polynesian Lane and Regatta Drive, current parking restrictions exist to manage on-street
parking in the neighborhood associated with Edison High School. The current restrictions are one (1)
hour parking on weekdays from 10 am to 2 pm, except holidays. The affected areas on Polynesian
Lane and Regatta Drive with the existing parking restrictions are shown on Figure 2. The reasons the
residents are requesting the permit parking district is to be able to park on the street without the
current parking restrictions and without having the on-street parking regularly impacted by Edison
High School students.
The current restrictions make it impossible to complete a traditional analysis of the need for permit
parking since we cannot document how much “commuter parking” demand there is in the
neighborhood. One basic premise assumed by staff is that there would be sufficient parking demand
from high school students if the current restrictions were not in place. The real basis for this request
from the residents is to provide a means of relief for residents from the 1 hour restriction. Converting
the areas to permit parking only would accomplish the goal of allowing residents access to the parking
(for longer than 1 hour) while still controlling the commuter parking. Despite the challenges, staff still
performed some parking observations to confirm our basic assumptions about the likely demand on
the streets and provide a framework for considering the resident’s request.
HB -455-Item 7. - 10

Figure 2. Existing Parking Restriction Areas on Regatta Drive and Polynesian Lane.
Staff observed that on a typical school day the time before the parking restrictions are in effect,
Regatta Dr and Polynesian Lane between Regatta Drive and Bobbie Circle have a significantly higher
parking occupancy than during the restriction times. These parking impacted areas are shown in
Figure 3. Additionally, staff noticed that during the parking restriction times, Regatta Drive and
Polynesian Lane had higher on-street parking counts than later in the afternoon when Edison High
School classes end for the day.

Figure 3. Parking Impacted Areas on Regatta Drive and Polynesian Lane before Parking
Restriction Times.
Based on the field observations and discussions with requesting residents the recommended permit
parking streets for the proposed district are:
• Regatta Drive west of Polynesian Lane
• Polynesian Lane from Regatta Drive to Bobbie Circle
Residents along Regatta Drive east of Polynesian Lane voted only 40% in support of permit parking and
are not recommended to be a part of the permit parking district.
HB -457-Item 7. - 12

A permit parking district on these streets would replace the existing one (1) hour parking restrictions
along the areas that overlap. The areas with the current parking restrictions that are not to be
included in the new permit parking district are recommended to remain unchanged. The number of
affected addresses is nineteen (19). Please refer to Figure 4 showing staff recommendations for the
new permit parking district.

RESOLUTION NO. 2017-12
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH ESTABLISHING PERMIT PARKING
DISTRICT "U" ON REGATTA DRIVE AND POLYNESIAN LANE
WITHIN THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted Huntington Beach Municipal Code
Chapter 10.42 allowing the establishment of parking districts in residential areas under
certain conditions and;
The citizens of the residential streets known as Regatta Drive and Polynesian
Lane have petitioned for establishment of a permit parking district on Regatta Drive and
Polynesian Lane; and
The Director of Public Works reviewed the petition, sent a ballot for further
consideration to residents of Regatta Drive and Polynesian Lane, and caused an
investigation which reasonably established that:
1. A minimum of 75% of the Property Units on Regatta Drive and
Polynesian Lane are in favor of the proposed Permit Parking District; and
2. Unrestricted parking creates a situation in which the subject streets cannot
be used for parking by Residents or their guests because Commuter
Vehicle parking unreasonably and regularly interferes with the use of the
available street parking; and
3. Unrestricted parking creates a situation where Commuter Vehicles or their
occupants produce significant sources of health, safety, or welfare
concerns.
Therefore, the Director of Public Works has found the requirements of Chapter
10.42 to be reasonably fulfilled, and determined that the Permit Parking District will not
affect other uses of on-street parking,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does
hereby resolve as follows:
Permit Parking District "U" is hereby established to include Regatta Drive and
Polynesian Lane, effective every Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Analysis:
The Police Department and the City Attorney’s office have identified several sections of the
Huntington Beach Municipal Code (HBMC) for consideration of amending to modernize and
improve the effectiveness in enforcing the intent of the laws. The majority of the changes include
clarifications of certain definitions or changes in numerical sequence of ordinances. Chapter 13.10
of the Municipal Code is recommended to be repealed and replaced with regulations that have
withstood court challenge.
Ordinance No. 4117
The proposed changes to Ordinance 4117 apply to codes related to sidewalks and will require the
following sections to be renumbered: 12.32.015, 12.32.030, 12.32.045, 12.32.050, 12.32.060,
12.32.080, and 12.32,090. The language would remain the same; however, if the other changes
are adopted as recommended, the numbers would need to change to stay in sequential order.
Section 12.32.010 adds “public place” and “public way” under the definition section. This definition
will be added to all applicable sections within Section 12.32.025.
Of note, Section 12.32.110 is a new section which establishes conduct on public property,
monuments, fountains, and lawns. This section would aid in regulating the misuse of fountains,
bike racks, planters, fencing, trash cans, utility cabinets, railings and other public property. For
example, downtown has been known to draw crowds during large specific events, after the nightly
closure of bars, street fairs, and other unplanned activities. There have been occasions when
persons use public property to gain an elevated platform for viewing, throwing of objects, street
performing, skateboard jumps or other unintended uses that create a danger/liability or damage to
City property. There have been several occasions where persons have used public fountains to
bathe in or clean personal belongings.
This section prohibits persons wading, bathing, swimming, or entering fountains or utilizing the
fountains to clean objects or belongings.
This section also prohibits persons from intentionally throwing or discharging an object or liquid in
the downtown area from 100 Main Street to 500 Main Street that would adversely affect public
safety.
Section 12.32.010 currently prohibits the hindrance or obstruction of any public sidewalk. In
addition to the new definition of public place or public way, the Police Department is recommending
adding specific language to include the Pier, Pier Plaza, and the Civic Center.
This change would increase areas where the Police Department could enforce the regulations
regarding persons gathering in public areas that inhibit the free passage of others which has
become problematic in downtown areas and other public places. The new section would be
renumbered to 12.32.130.
Ordinance No. 4118
The amendment to chapter 13.08, Beach Regulations, will include adding a new definition
“Adjacent Beach Area” to provide regulatory authority in a new area that is outside the current
Beach. All sections of Chapter 13.08 would include the new definition.
HB -462-Item 8. - 2
Dept. ID PD-17-002 Page 3 of 4
Meeting Date: 4/3/2017
The proposed change would aid law enforcement by allowing for the laws pertaining to the Beach
to be applied to a new defined area adjacent to the beach. The new area would encompass the
waterline to the west curb line of PCH in our downtown area and add the strip of land owned and
operated by the City south of Anderson Street and the property lines of South Pacific Avenue.
There have been multiple citizen complaints in the areas of the beach service road, our beach
parking lots, Pier Plaza, walkways, and grassy areas at or near the beach. By accepting the
recommended change, the police department can uniformly enforce the laws as they pertain to the
Beach and Adjacent Beach Area.
This amendment would also update the definition of smoking to include e-cigarettes, vaping, or
other lighted smoking products or equipment used to burn any tobacco products, weed, plants, or
other combustible substance. This update is necessary to enforce the intended laws as they
pertain to the current methods utilized to “smoke.”
Ordinance No. 4119
Ordinance number 4119 relates to HBMC Chapter 13.10, Camping on Public Property. This
recommendation of repealing the existing ordinance and replacing it with new language is to
modernize the City’s rules and mirror an ordinance that has successfully withstood a legal
challenge. The proposed camping ordinance will provide our staff with another tool to help alleviate
camping issues in the City.
Ordinance No. 4124
Ordinance number 4124 relates to HBMC Chapter 13.48, park regulations. Currently there is an
ordinance that prohibits smoking on the beach. The recommended changes would prohibit
smoking within our City parks as well. We receive many complaints about smoking in the parks.
This change would provide us a tool to deal with those complaints and is congruent with many other
regulations on smoking in many public places.
Section 13.48.010 currently defines words associated with park rules. The recommended action is
to add the definition of smoking to this chapter to include e-cigarettes and vaporizing. This
definition is the same as defined in Chapter 13.08. This change is also consistent with many other
regulations dealing with smoking and is necessary due to the changes of consumer habits.
Section 13.48.115 recommended action prohibiting smoking at the Beach, Adjacent Beach Area,
the Pier, Pier Plaza or Parks.
Ordinance No. 4129
Ordinance number 4129 relates to refuse management per HBMC Chapter 8.21. The intent is to
keep the existing language regarding trash disposal but add another section that specifically
prohibits the discard of infectious waste including hypodermic needles, syringes, diapers, materials
that have been infected with human or animal waste, contaminated materials exposed to infected
materials and unused or unwanted prescription medications or controlled substances. These
additional provisions will further define and enhance our ability to deal with particular problems
encountered by our officers and the public in regard to waste.
Environmental Status: None.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain public safety

RESOLUTION NO. 2017-13
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH REGARDING THE ADMINISTRATIVE
PROCEDURE FOR THE REMOVAL OF UNLAWFUL CAMPSITES,
BULKY ITEMS, AND PERSONAL PROPERTY
WHEREAS, on March 20, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No 4119 regarding
Camping, and Unattended Property; and
In addition to the proliferation of camping on public property which obstructs access by
pedestrians and by emergency vehicles, individuals camping frequently urinate and defecate on
City property (and nearby private property) causing unsanitary conditions to persist within the
area of the camping creating an environment for the spread of disease and bacteria; and
The City Council contemplated that concurrently with adopting Ordinance No 4119, it
would adopt administrative procedures that would provide community outreach and supportive
services and advance notice to affected individuals as to the provisions of the Ordinances and
would provide guidance and assistance in complying with such requirements within a reasonable
time after notice; and
Through the Ordinances, the City Council hereby declares its intent to prevent the
misappropriation of City property for personal use and to promote the public health, safety, and
welfare by ensuring that City property remains in a clean, sanitary, and accessible condition; and
The City Council finds and determines that this Administrative Procedure declares the
City's intent and its procedures for implementation and enforcement of the Ordinances,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby
resolve as follows:
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE FOR THE REMOVAL OF PERSONAL
PROPERTY STORED ON CITY PROPERTY PURPOSE:
1. This Administrative Procedure will guide implementation and enforcement of
Chapters 12.32 and 13.10 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code which
prohibits camping and the storing of personal property on public property, and
also prohibit sitting and lying down on certain public ways. This Procedure
requires outreach to affected individuals, referral of individuals to supportive
services, reasonable advance notice to affected individuals of the deadlines by
which they are to remove their personal property from public property, the
deadline by which the personal property that has been removed must be picked up
from City storage before it will be destroyed, and an exception to permit the
temporary use of tents, sleeping bags, and sleeping overnight between 10:00 p.m.
and 6:00 a.m. the next morning in certain areas of the City.

SF:16-5399/142714
HB -522-Item 8. - 62
2. EXCEPTION - TEMPORARY TENTS AT NIGHT FOR SHELTER-RELATED
OUTREACH: 13.10 of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code prohibit camping
and lying down on public property throughout the City. Notwithstanding that
prohibition, this Administrative Procedure exempts homeless individuals from
camping on City property overnight in order for them to have shelter at night, as
long as those items are removed from City property by 6:00 a.m. the next
morning, and the individuals are not violating any other laws. Further, no
camping is permitted at any time at the Civic Center, the Pier, Pier Plaza,
Downtown Huntington Beach, any public or private school.
3. The "Outreach" section below describes how the City will engage other agencies
and keep a current inventory of available shelter beds at any given point in time,
direct persons in need to these resources, and continue to support these shelter and
housing efforts directly with its assets and indirectly through its various service
funding efforts.
4. This policy is a fluid document that may be updated and revised from time-to-
time by the City Manager or his designee, as needed, to adapt to the needs of the
community and the City.
5. REPORTING AN UNLAWFUL CAMPING: All reports of the unlawful storage
of personal property on City property, including homeless camping on City
property, are to be directed to the Police Chief of his or her designee.
6. The Huntington Beach Police Department may conduct a site visit, and document
the camping activities. The Huntington Beach Police Department may initiate a
cleanup strategy based primarily on the threat to others or property. If there is an
apparent immediate threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, or immediate
threat to others, themselves, or to private or public property, an immediate
response may be initiated and the conditions giving rise to the immediate threat
shall be documented in writing.
7. Cleanup of unlawful camping will, whenever possible, include an outreach
strategy for those camping. The purpose of the outreach is to unite and engage
the appropriate social service providers (employed by agencies other than the
City) with the needs of persons camping. Storage bags will be provided prior to
the removal or personal property for storage upon request.
8. Concurrently with cleanup of the unlawful camping, pursuant to Chapter 13.10 of
the Municipal Code, the City shall post and provide a notice, entitled "Notice of
Clean-Up" which states:
a. A general description of the personal property to be removed and
the location from which the personal property will be removed;
2
SF:16-5399/142714
HB -523-Item 8. - 63
b. A statement that the personal property in the Public Area is currently
being stored in violation of the Huntington Beach Municipal Code;
c. Describe where the removed personal property will be stored, if not
removed by the deadline listed in the notice;
d. Personal property not recovered after 90 days of City storage will be
deemed abandoned and destroyed.
e. If any form of prescription medications, prescription eye glasses, or
personal identification (drivers licenses, birth certificates, social security
cards, etc.) is found, such items shall be placed safely aside for the City
representative to manage. If at all possible, the owner of these types of
items shall be located during the cleanup and reunited with their items. If
the owner cannot be found on-site, the items will be given to a social
service provider for custody or if necessary, be taken back to the Public
Works Office until the owner is found, and held for at least 90-days.
f. Any Bulky Items (couch, mattress or other property too large to be stored
in a garbage receptacle), and trash, garbage, or other waste and/or insect
infested items not suitable for storage or for continued use shall be sorted
into piles and disposed of or recycled appropriately.
g. Individuals affected by the clean-up can call the Huntington Beach Police
Department at 714-536-5944 and arrange to retrieve their personal
property from the City.
h. Individuals whose personal property has been removed and stored by the
City will not be fined, charged or otherwise cited by the City for its cost to
move and store it.
i. Personal Property will be stored for 90-days from the Date written above
and if not recovered within that time will be deemed abandoned and will
be destroyed.

CITY COUNCIL MEMBER ITEM FOR THE APRIL 3, 2017, CITY
COUNCIL MEETING — REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR
PARKING MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR MAIN PROMENADE
PARKING STRUCTURE
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
The City operates the Main Promenade Parking Structure in Downtown Huntington Beach.
Operations of the structure, to include part-time staffing and contract maintenance, is through the
Community Services Department's parking/camping operations comprised of four (4) full-time
employees. The parking/camping program is staffed nearly 20 hours per day, 7 days a week,
and includes all beach attended lots, the Sunset Vista Campground, and Sunset Beach parking
lots.
The City recently invested over $1.5 million to make substantial structural improvements and
nominal aesthetic upgrades to the structure, More upgrades, including to the structures' lighting
system, bathrooms, and elevators are forthcoming. While the City is currently investing in the
parking structure, instances of deferred maintenance and recent extended downtime for elevators
highlight a desire to explore the feasibility of contracting out the management of the parking
structure for increased operational efficiency and effectiveness.
The City owns the parking structures at the Strand and Bella Terra, but contracts out the parking
management services at both facilities. There may be increased potential to create efficiencies
in downtown parking operations through a Request for Proposal for parking management
services.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Direct the City Manager to issue a Request for Proposal for Parking Management Services for
the Main Promenade Parking Structure within 60 days.

CITY COUNCIL MEMBER ITEM FOR THE APRIL 3, 2017, CITY
COUNCIL MEETING — CONSIDER ESTABLISHING A CITY
COUNCIL AD HOC COMMITTEE ON HOMELESSNESS.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
In March 2015, the City Council established a seven (7) member Homeless Task
Force to make recommendations to the City Council regarding how to address
homelessness within the City. Over the ensuing year, the task force established six (6)
sub-committees with the goal of reviewing best practices in the areas of policing,
housing, coordination of services, economic self-sufficiency, and health services, and
developing specific next action steps for the City Council's review and consideration.
The Homeless Task Force presented its findings to the City Council at a study
session on March 21, 2016, and offered solutions in each of the categories the sub-
committees studied and evaluated. While some progress has been made on
implementing the short-term recommendations contained in the report,no
subsequent Council discussion or action was taken on the task force's other
recommendations. As such, to ensure a comprehensive plan is developed, a
prioritization for implementation of Task Force recommendations needs to be made.
Despite an informative presentation on homeless outreach efforts made by the
Police Department and Office of Business Development at the Council's February
21, 2017, study session, the City lacks a comprehensive strategy or plan that
define specific goals, objectives, action steps, milestones and implementation costs.
It is imperative that the City Council give city management direction on how to proceed.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Mayor to establish a City Council Ad Hoc Committee to work with key stakeholders to
formulate a homelessness workplan based upon the recommendations of the
Homeless Task Force for the Council's further review and action.

support a community-wide effort to promote human dignity as an important element in building a
better community.
The Policy declared that everyone should be treated with courtesy and respect, regardless of
their racial background, their nation of origin, the religion they practice, their sexual orientation,
gender, or disability status. It is the right of all citizens to pursue their daily lives with the
knowledge that they will not be physically harmed or verbally abused. Given recent events
throughout the nation, now more than ever, it is important to reaffirm our position that, as a City,
we are welcome to everyone.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is recommended that the City Manager bring forth to the City Council a Resolution reaffirming
the City's support for the Declaration of Policy About Human Dignity.
