AGENDA TITLE
Annual Development Impact Fee Report for Fiscal Year 2022-2023
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Receive and file.
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No
DISCUSSION
Following the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, many cities began charging fees on
new development to fund public improvements and services such as streets, public
utilities, and parks. These fees are commonly known as development impact fees. To
ensure these fees were spent in a timely manner and on projects for which they were
being collected, the State Legislature passed Assembly Bill 1600, known as the
Mitigation Fee Act.
In accordance with Government Code Sections 66001 and 66006, the City is required to
publish an annual report (Exhibit 1) for each fund established to account for
development impact fees. The report must include: a brief description of the type of fee;
fee amount; beginning and ending balance of the account or fund; amount of fees
collected and interest earned; identification of each public improvement on which fees
were expended and the amount expended; an estimated date construction will
commence; and descriptions of each inter-fund transfer or loan.
California Government Code Section 66006 requires an annual accounting of
development impact fees be made available to the public within 180 days of the end of
the City's fiscal year. In addition, this information must be presented to the City Council
at least 15 days after it is made available to the public.
The City collects the following development impact fees: Transportation System
Improvement Area, Transit Zoning Code Traffic Impact Mitigation Fair Share, Harbor
Specific Plan Mitigation Fair Share, Drainage Assessment Fee, Sewer Connection Fee,
Park Acquisition, and Development Fees. The fees are collected prior to the issuance of
building permits for new residential and commercial construction. The impact fees are

established by City Council resolution and are deposited into the designated impact fee

1. City of Santa Ana Assembly Bill 1600 Development Fee Report Fiscal Year 2022-
2023

Approved By: Tom Hatch, Interim City Manager
City of Santa Ana’s Public Works Agency
Assembly Bill 1600 Development Fee Report
Fiscal Year 2022-2023
Government Code Section 66006 requires local agencies that collect development impact fees to submit an
annual notice detailing the status of those fees within 180 days after the last day of the fiscal year. The annual
report must be made available to the public and then presented to the public agency (City Council) at least 15
days after it is made available to the public.
The following is the annual report for the City’s development impact fees.
Provide a brief description of the type of fee in the account or fund.
Drainage Assessment Fee
The drainage assessment fees are established in the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The City has six “local drainage
areas,” each with its own fee schedule. Payment of the fee is required as a condition to the City’s approval of a
subdivision or parcel map. The City is required to maintain a separate fund for the fee revenues of each such
area. Expenditures from each such fund are limited solely to the construction of drainage facilities within the
area from which the fund revenues were collected.
Sewer Connection Fee
The sewer connection fees are established in the Santa Ana Municipal Code. No person shall make any sewer
connection unless a permit is issued by Public Works. No permit for such connection shall be issued unless the
application is accompanied by the payment of a fee to the City in an amount which shall determine the
applicant’s proportionate share of the cost of construction of such public sewer.
Water Connection Fee
The water connection fees are established in the Santa Ana Municipal Code. Water connection fees are used
to establish water service. All applicants prior to connecting to a water main or prior to an increase in size of
an existing water meter or service, shall apply and obtain a permit to do so and pay the water connection fees.
Transportation System Improvement Area Fee
The transportation system improvement areas fees are established in the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The
purpose of a transportation system improvement program is to identify and designate those areas where the
transportation system may experience a significant reduction in the level of service unless corrective measures
are instituted concurrent with increased transportation demands. Fees collected for building projects and
improvements on properties in a transportation systems improvement program area shall be used to improve
the transportation system within such area when such improvements will substantially benefit the
transportation system within the area.
Residential Development Fee
The residential development fees are established in the Santa Ana Municipal Code. The fees are served for the
purpose of preserving an appropriate balance between the demand by residents for use of park and
recreational facilities and the availability of such park and recreational facilities and to preclude residential
development which would create an excess demand on such facilities. Fees paid shall be placed in a special
fund known as the “Park Acquisition and Development Fund,” which will be used for the acquisition,
construction and renovation of park and recreation facilities.
