City of Colton Agenda Report Council Meeting of May 16, 2000 Page 2 fee calculations and that they should be set at the 50% recovery level. As a result of these changes the new established park fee will be $936 per unit for single-family residential projects, and $831 per unit for multi -family residential projects. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: On September 14, and October 26, 1999, the Study was presented to the City Council in workshop format. At that time the need to amend Ordinance No. 0-03-95, and the existing Quimby Act Ordinance (Ordinance No. 0-10-88) at a time subsequent to the approval of a new development fee ordinance was presented. Furthermore, on March 7, 2000, a public hearing was held recommending the findings noted in the Study, and approving and adopting a new development fee ordinance, Ordinance No. 0-02-00. As part and parcel of that report, staff explained that it would be coming back before the City Council to amend Ordinance No. 0-03-95, and the existing Quimby Act Ordinance to extend it to include single family permits, residential subdivisions containing four or fewer lots, and apartment complexes. Additionally, it would request that the existing Quimby Act Ordinance be amended to provide for fees to offset improvement costs as well as land acquisition or dedication costs. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: None FISCAL IMPACT: We anticipate that revenues will increase as a result of this action, as park fees will be assessed on specific project types that are presently exempted from our existing Quimby Ordinance from paying the park fees established that Ordinance. Rather, these projects currently pay a lower fee under Ordinance No. 0-03-95. Specifically, the project types currently exempted from park fees are single-family permit projects, residential subdivisions containing four or fewer lots, and apartment complexes. Additionally the park fee formula was modified (by Ordinance No. 0-02-00) to include cost recovery for a portion of park improvements and not just land acquisition costs or land dedication costs. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the following amendment to Ordinance No. 0-03-95: Amend Section 3.32.030 to specifically exempt single-family residential permit projects, and residential subdivisions containing less than four parcels and apartment complexes from the "construction tax." Staff recommends the following amendments to Ordinance No. 0-10-88: Amend Section 16.58.010 C. regarding Park and Recreation Dedication and Fee Exemptions. Delete the first paragraph of this section exempting subdivisions containing less than five parcels, parcels not used for residential purposes, etc. The second paragraph of this section remains intact.
