City of Petaluma
Annval Development Impact Fee Report
Fiscal Year 2007-08
Background
The Mitigation Fee Act, Government Code §§66000 et seq., (the "Act") governs the
establishment and administration of development impact fees paid by new development
projects for public facilities needed to serve new development. Fees must be separately
accounted for and used for the specific purpose for which the fee was imposed. The City's
adopted development impact fees are listed in the attached. exhibits. Expenditures are
authorized through the annual Capital and Operating Budgets and the City's Capital
Improvement Program. The annual adopted City Budget is on file with the City Clerk.
Annual Development Fee Reporting
The Act requires that the City prepare an annual review of all development impact fees as
defined in the Act and make a public report on the fees available to the public after the end of
each fiscal year. Government Code §66006(6)(2) requires the report to be placed on an
agenda for review at a public meeting not less than 15 days after the report is made available
to the public.
Excluded from this report are. types of developer fees that are not subject to the reporting
requirements of the Act. For example, fees collected pursuant to the City's zoning powers, rather
than pursuant to the Act, are in-lieu housing fees, the commercial linkage fee which is the non-
residential equivalent of an in-lieu housing fee, public art in-lieu fees and two fees related to the
Central Petaluma Specific Plan area. Water capacity fees and wastewater capacity fees are
not development impact fees as defined in Sections 66006 and 66001 of the Act. The Quimby
Act parkland acquisition fee is imposed pursuant to the Quimby Act (Gov't. Code §66477), and
is also not included in the Section 66001 reporting requirement.
The Storm Drainage Fee was last updated in 1986, prior to the January 1, 1989 effective date of
AB1600, but is nevertheless included in this report and findings for informational purposes.
The city is also required to adopt by resolution certain findings for any fund accounts which
contain unexpended funds as of the fifth fiscal year following the first deposit into those funds.
(Gov't. Code §66001 (d).) The affected accounts are shown on Exhibit B to this report and are
Fund 2120, Community Facilities; Fund 2140, Parkland Acquisition and Development; Fund 2155,
Storm Drainage; and Fund 2160, Traffic Mitigation.
Resolution No. 2009-062 N.C.S. Page 4
The report is organized as follows:
Exhibit A: A brief description of the purposes of each development impact fee and its
authorizing legislation (Gov't. Code §66006(b) (1) (A).)
Exhibit B: Shows summary of the July 1, 2007 beginning balance, annual fee revenue collected
and interest earned, identification of public improvements on which fees were expended and
the ending balance as of June 30, 2008 for each fee (Gov't. Code §66006(b)(1)(C)-(E).) The
annual expenditures on each specific public improvement are listed, including the total
percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with development impact
fees.. In addition to public improvement project costs, the City incurs costs to administer each
mitigation fee program and to prepare the annual reports and the five-year compliance
analysis also required by the Act. As shown in the mitigation fee cost studies which support the
various impact fees, the City charges administrative and compliance costs at 3~0 of the program
cost for each fee as a program expense. The actual dollar cost for these expenditures is listed
for each fee. No individual development impact fee fund has collected sufficient funds to
construct all improvements covered by that fund as described in the Nexus Studies (Gov't. Code
§66006(b) (1) (F).)
Exhibit C: Shows the funds which have unexpended fees more than five years after the first
deposit of money into those funds (Gov't. Code §66001(d).)
• Exhibit D: Identifies the current amount of each development impact fee, including the
modifications which became effective August 18, 2008, when the City updated all development
impact fees other than the Storm Drain Impact Fee (Gov't. Code §66006(b) (1) (B).)
• There were no interfund loans, transfers, refunds or reallocation of funds in lieu of refunds in Fiscal
Year 2007-2008 (Gov't. Code §66006(b) (1) (G)-(H).)

*NOTE: The two adopted traffic impact fees reflect the cost differential between two design alternatives for the proposed
Rainier Avenue Crosstown Connector and Highway 101 Interchange ("Caltrans Preferred"; "Locally Preferred"). Until a final
determination is made on a design alternative, the City will collect the higher (the "Caltrans Preferred") of the 2 traffic
impact fees on all projects subject to that fee. Should the "Locally Preferred" design alternative ultimately be selected, the
City will then charge the "Locally Preferred" traffic impact fee amount and refund the incremental difference between the
two fees to those projects that had already paid the "Caltrans Preferred" traffic impact fee.

STORM DRAIN IMPACT FEE
Calculation of Fee
Runoff computation: The increase in runoff created by a given project is calculated fora 100-
year storm, utilizing runoff coefficients based upon the portion of vegetated area to impervious
surfaces, and expressed in acre-feet. Runoff coefficients are based upon the type of use, slope
of the land, and percent of vegetation coverage.
Commercial/Industrial: Projects pay a fee of $30,000 per acre foot of additional runoff. The
amount of incremental runoff created is directly linked to the amount of landscaping provided.
The maximum fee possible is $9,000 per acre of land. This would apply to a project with 20% or
less landscaping. A project with 25% landscaping can expect a fee of $6,750 per acre, 30%
would pay $6,300 per acre, and so on.
Residential: Projects pay a fee of $15,000 per acre foot of additional runoff. Incremental runoff is
dependent upon the density of a project and the amount of landscaping and open space
provided. A high density project with 20% or less area in landscaping could expect to pay $4,500
per acre. A type detached single-family subdivision would pay approximately $1,500 per acre.
