City of Colton <br />Agenda Report <br />Councii Meeting of March 7, 2000 <br />Page 3 <br />that local govemments must follow when enacting development impact fees. They are <br />as follows: <br />IDENTIFY THE PURPOSE OF THE FEE <br />Each category of infrastructure/public facility to be funded with the dollars collected <br />must be specified. <br />lDENTIFY THE USE TO WHICH THE FEE W1LL BE PUT <br />Specific projects to be funded must be identified. Details such as level of service, <br />design standards and projected costs plus related methodologies must be documented. <br />DEMONSTRATE REASONABLE RELATIONSNJPS BETWEEN THE FEES'S USE <br />AND TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT AND A REASONABLE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN <br />THE NEED FOR THE FACILITY AND THE TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT PROJECT <br />New development must create the need for the service or facility and the new <br />development must benefit from the service or facility. <br />DEFINE THE RELATI0NSHIP BETWEEN THE AMOUNT OF THE FEE AND THE <br />COST OF THE JNFRASTRUCTURE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE DEVELOPMENT ON <br />WHICH THE FEE IS IMPOSED <br />The fee must be accurately and fairiy allocated to the individual land use project to <br />which it is applied. Additionally, only those costs that are eligible for charging against <br />new development are applied. <br />CATEGORIES OF IMPROVEMENTS <br />There are generally three categories of improvements: 1) expansion of facilities, 2) <br />upgrades of facilities, and 3) replacement of facilities that are worn and have exceeded <br />their useful life. <br />• Expansion of Facilities: These projects are generally built to accommodate growth <br />and can be legitimately allocated to new development. <br />• Up4rades to Facilities: Upgrades frequently benefit both existing and future <br />populations. Costs should be allocated on a fair share basis to both groups as <br />appropriate. <br />• Replacement of Facilities: These costs are typically not allocable to new <br />development. If the replacement has increased capacity to accommodate new <br />growth then the difference in the cost due to the increased capaciry can be passed <br />on to new development. <br />The General Plan as a Basis for Fees <br />The adopted General Plan is used as the basis for development fees through <br />determining the build-out infrastructure needs of the City and apportioning the costs of <br />new facilities to new development. Infrastructure and service demand is a function of <br />land use and population. The General Plan defines the anticipated build-out of the <br />
