City of Colton Agenda Report Council Meeting of March 7, 2000 Page 4 City, addresses land use type and distribution and serves as the basis for projecting land use and population growth. Fee Categories and Study Recommendations CIVIC CENTER The Civic Center will require some expansion to accommodate additional staff at build- out. Remodeling and modemization of the Civic Center will also be necessary. Since remodeling and modemization will also benefit the existing population, a portion of the cost will require funding from other sources. The study recommends adoption of the fees listed in Table 1-6 (page 1-12). FIRE The City will require one additional Fire Station to meet fire protection needs at build- out and maintain the current level of service. The study recommends adoption of the fees listed in Table 1-6 (page 1-12). LIBRARY Library services will require significant building and land area expansion to meet future population demands. Additional books will also be needed to maintain the existing level of service standard. The study recommends adoption of the fees listed in Table 1- 6 (page 1-12). PARKS The City has adopted a General Plan standard of 5 acres per thousand residents for improved parkland. The operative standard for the City has been the Quimby Act Ordinance {adopted 1988) and the development fee calculation used has been 3 acres per thousand residents. Using the Quimby Act Ordinance Standard (the more conservative of the two standards) the City should have approximately 134 acres today (it currently has 60) and 212 acres at build-out. The study recommends adoption of the fees listed in Table 1-6 (page 1-12) that would essentially provide a funding source for the City of Colton to acquire an additional 78 acres of parkland to serve the community at build-out. In addition to approving the fees in the study, on September 14, 1999, staff recommended, and the City Council approved funding for the commissioning of a Parks Master Plan Study to further plan for the community's park needs at build-out. Finally, the study recommends that the city's Quimby Standard be extended to include Apartments and Single Family Unit Developments on 4 or fewer lots. POLICE City build-out will require expanding the current police station to accommodate approximately 49 additional employees and 26 new vehicles. Current space deficiency will have to be funded from sources other than development fees. The study recommends adoption of the fees listed in Table 1-6 (page 1-12).
