New (6.3): Residential Impact Fee/Funding Approach: MIG Team member Economic & Planning Systems (EPS) will lead the evaluation of the City's Residential Development Impact Fee to provide consolidated directions on a new funding approach. The task includes: o Existing Fee Program and Funding Review. EPS will review the original ordinance, current resolution, and other background documents (annual fee reports) to establish a clear picture of the levels of park development and improvement funding that have been historically established along with how they have been used. EPS will interview staff and/or review budget documents to obtain a broad and qualitative picture as to how new park acquisition, development and improvements are funded as a whole, including the role of parks fees and other sources. o Current Funding Needs and Fee Adjustment Options. Based on recommendations for future development, EPS will consider: (1) the extent to which the City's current fee program will help cover funding needs; and (2) the potential justification for increasing and/or expanding the current fee program. As an example, fee adjustment options could include: (1) Increasing current fees based on current data on park development and improvement costs; (2) expanding fee structure to incorporate the costs of acquiring parkland; (3) adjusting the range of land uses required to pay the fee; (4) no change to the fee program etc. This information will be incorporated into Task 4.1 and the Administrative Draft Master Plan. New (6.4): Terms (Glossary): As an attachment to the plan, MIG will create a glossary of terms for parks, open space, and facilities by type, along with terms such as level of service (LOS). This information will be incorporated into the Administrative Draft Master Plan. (This includes the January requests to define parks and open space for the Planning.)
