Report
City Council Meeting: January 8, 2019
Agenda Item: 3.E
1 of 9
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Gigi Decavalles-Hughes, Director, Finance Department, Financial Operations
Subject: Annual Reporting of Development Impact Fees
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council review and accept the FY 2017-18 Annual
Reporting of Development Impact Fees per the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code
66000-66025) and the FY 2017-18 Childcare Linkage Fee Report per SMMC Section
9.65.
Summary
Santa Monica collects fees from developers and Council has authorized these fees to
be used to help fund community benefits that are directly impacted by new
development. The City has used revenues from these fees to make investments in
child care, transportation, parks, affordable housing and water consumption. The City
can use these funds as grant match to further leverage the ability to deliver larger
projects at a lower local cost. This report transmits the attached Annual Report on the
status of funds collected from the City’s development impact fees, including investments
made in the last year, that qualify to be reported under the Mitigation Fee Act
(Government Code 66000-66025) (Attachment A). This Annual Report also provides
the required annual reporting for the Child Care Linkage Fee per SMMC Section
9.65.090.
Discussion
In 1987, Assembly Bill 1600 (AB1600), also known as the California Mitigation Fee Act,
codified the legal and procedural parameters for charging development impact fees as
set forth in Government Code 66000-66025. A development impact fee is a monetary
exaction other than a tax or special assessment that an applicant of an approved
development project pays to defray all or a portion of the costs of public facilities related
to the project. The Mitigation Fee Act defines “public facilities” broadly to include public
2 of 9
improvements, public services, and community amenities.
At the time that a Mitigation Fee is established, the purpose of the fee and its
anticipated use must be clearly identified. Per Government Code 66006, collection of
these fees requires separate funds or accounts to avoid commingling and requires that
information is reported within 180 days from year-end.
The City publicly posted the annual Mitigation Fee Act Report, as required by AB1600,
on November 30 for the following fees: Childcare Linkage Fee, Transportation Impact
Fee, Parks and Recreation Impact Fee, Affordable Housing Commercial Linkage Fee,
and Water Demand Mitigation Fee. Additional reporting information was also provided
for the Transportation Impact Fee. An analysis of eligible projects resulted in revisions
to the Transportation Impact Fee information and an errata sheet was publicly posted
on December 18. Per Government Code 66001, the City must also report on
unexpended and expended fee amounts, whether committed or uncommitted, for the
fifth fiscal year following the first deposit and every five years thereafter. This year, the
required five-year reporting only applies to the Transportation Impact Fee (TIF). No
interested parties contacted the City in writing to request a mailed notice of meeting
time and place to review the Mitigation Fee Act Report.
Staff continues to monitor development projects and revenue collected to ensure that
fees are accounted for and expended in accordance with the purposes for which they
were collected as required by law. It can take a number of years to accumulate
sufficient funds to implement the relatively high-cost projects the City's development
impact fees are eligible to fund. Following is a summary of each fee, the current
balance, and a description of how funds are being spent:
1. Child Care Linkage Fee – This fee is intended to address the increased demand
for child care triggered by the development of commercial projects adding floor
area of at least 7,500 square feet or multi-family residential projects. Developers
can satisfy the ordinance requirements by either paying a fee or by agreeing to
participate in the construction or establishment of one or more child care
3 of 9
facilities. Fees are computed annually on July 1, increasing by a percentage
equal to the Construction Cost Index as published by Engineering News Record.
Child Care Linkage Fees shall be paid by the final inspection date and prior to
the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy.
Section 9.65.070 of the ordinance establishing the Child Care Linkage Fee
specifies that funds collected in the Child Care Linkage Fee Reserve Account
shall be restricted to costs related to property acquisition, development, and
construction of child care facilities within the City of Santa Monica, in addition to
any administrative costs incurred by the City to manage the reserve account.
Eligible expenditures shall not include ongoing operating expenses and general
maintenance of child care facilities.
On June 14, 2016, as part of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Budget
Adoption, Council approved usage of Child Care Linkage Fee funds in addition to
the General Fund dollars previously appropriated towards the construction of the
Early Childhood Lab School (ECLS). The ECLS is a joint project between Santa
Monica College and the City of Santa Monica. Construction of the ECLS began
in spring 2018 and is expected to be completed by August 2020. The City has
approved a financial contribution of $6,661,598 to the ECLS which currently
includes $1,098,598 (approximately 16%) in Child Care Linkage Fee funds.
When Council first approved the City’s financial contribution to the ECLS with the
FY 2006-07 budget, the City’s contribution was expected to come from
Redevelopment Agency funding. Upon dissolution of the Redevelopment
Agency, the City agreed to fund its financial contribution to the ECLS using
General Fund CIP dollars, including using Childcare Linkage Fee funds, so the
project could move forward. Specifically, $1,098,598 of Child Care Linkage Fee
funds and $1,121,935 of General Funds were incurred in FY 2017-18 for ECLS
construction costs. Staff are now looking at ways to apply additional Childcare
Linkage Fee Funds towards the project to reduce the General Fund’s obligation
and will return to Council with a recommendation with the 2019-21 budget if this
is possible.

2. Transportation Impact Fee – This fee is collected on new development and
intensified land uses and is used to fund transportation improvements, such as
sidewalks, crossing improvements, traffic signal upgrades, transit, and bicycle
facilities. Funds are frequently leveraged as grant match such as Safe Streets
for 17th Street and Wilshire Blvd Safety Study. Grant projects have longer
delivery times, but increase the number and size of improvements possible from
the fees. Some fees are temporarily held to be ready for future grant
opportunities. Grant matching was assumed in the fee study.
The fees are based on residential units or commercial square footage and are
charged prior to issuance of building permits, unless State law requires the City
to accept later fee payment. The Transportation Impact Fee reflects the costs
associated with transportation improvements and the amount of new auto trips
that can be attributed to land use changes.

In FY 2017-18, $105,917 of available TIF funds were spent on physical changes
near four neighborhood schools to make it easier for students to walk and bike.
This included the design and installation of reduced speed limits, and enhanced
crosswalk and roadway striping. Additionally, $99,589 of available TIF funds
were spent on engineering design services that are necessary for construction of
phase I of the Lincoln Boulevard Neighborhood Corridor. As of June 30, 2018,
$6,577,250 of the $7,871,979 fund balance is committed to nine projects that will
deliver safety and connection improvements. The projects are programmed in
5 of 9
the Capital Improvement Budget and are underway in various stages of
preliminary design, outreach, construction documentation, and/or grant approval.
Additional TIF funding information is reported this year to satisfy the five year
reporting requirements of Government Code Section 66001(d). The purpose of
the Transportation Impact Fee is to ensure that new development pays its fair
share of the costs of providing the transportation network infrastructure
necessary to implement the General Plan Circulation Element goals including the
no net increase in vehicle trips originating or ending within the City during the PM
peak hour.
The Fee is based on a nexus study that outlines the reasonable relationship
between new development upon which the Transportation Impact Fees are
charged and the fee-funded projects needed to mitigate the citywide effects of
new automobile trips associated with new development. The Transportation
Impact Fee collected from new development is designed to address projected
growth and to help achieve the goal of no net increase in PM peak hour vehicle
trips. Projects funded by the fee include completion of the sidewalk network,
enhanced pedestrian crossings along major boulevards, striping and signage of
new bike lanes, bike paths, bike boulevards, bike facilities, and installation of new
bus pads, bus benches and transit only lanes. Funds are also crucial for project
development to make them ready for grant funding, such as preliminary design
and outreach.
Upcoming projects utilizing TIF funds are summarized in the table below, and
more information is available in the FY 2017-18 Annual Report.

this fee totaled $1,858,701. Staff anticipates utilizing a portion of the fund
balance to support completion of the construction of new Clover Park restrooms
as approved in the FY 2016-18 CIP budget. The remaining fund balance will
support one or more currently unfunded park projects, such as construction of
the Memorial Park and Airport Park expansion projects, or other projects
identified through the Parks & Recreation Master Plan Update process.

5. Water Demand Mitigation Fee – The City Council adopted ordinance Chapter
7.16.050 of the Santa Monica Municipal Code on March 19, 1991 to establish a
one-time fee that the City charges new development to mitigate the total daily
water consumption rate projected for the development. The Water Demand
Mitigation Fee is set at $3.00 for each gallon of daily water demand that must be
mitigated. The fee is required whenever a new single-family residence is
constructed or there is an addition of 50% or more to existing square footage; for
construction of a new multi-family building or addition of new units; for
construction of a new non-residential building or whenever there is a change of
use, change or addition to new plumbing fixtures, addition of restaurant seating,
or addition of square footage.
In FY 2017-18, $452,840 was used on turf removal and drip irrigation systems,
Calsense smart irrigation controllers, and other landscape improvements at
various City parks, medians Woodlawn Cemetery, and public right of ways.
Additionally, $713,894 was spent on the Santa Monica low-income housing multi-
family direct toilet install program for various locations throughout Santa Monica.
At the end of FY 2017-18, a balance of $1,949, 570 was still available to
program.

The purpose of the Transportation Impact Fee is to ensure that new development pays its fair share of the costs of providing the transportation network
infrastructure necessary to implement the General Plan Circulation Element goals including the no net increase in vehicle trips originating or ending within the
City during the PM peak hour. The Fee is based on a nexus study that outlines the purpose, rationale and structure, including the eligible transportation
improvements and demand reduction strategies. Improvements include but are not limited to: sidewalks, car-sharing, bike facilities, transit stops, and mobility
centers.
The Nexus Study outlines the reasonable relationship between new development upon which the Transportation Impact Fees are charged and the fee-funded
projects needed to mitigate the citywide effects of new automobile trips associated with new development. The Transportation Impact Fee collected from new
development is designed to address projected growth and to help achieve the goal of no net increase in PM peak hour vehicle trips. Projects funded by the fee
include completion of the sidewalk network, enhanced pedestrian crossings along major boulevards, striping and signage of new bike lanes, bike paths, bike
boulevards, and installation of new bus pads, bus benches and transit only lanes.

The purpose of the Transportation Impact Fee is to ensure that new development pays its fair share of the costs of providing the transportation network
infrastructure necessary to implement the General Plan Circulation Element goals including the no net increase in vehicle trips originating or ending within the City
during the PM peak hour. The Fee is based on a nexus study that outlines the purpose, rationale and structure, including the eligible transportation improvements
and demand reduction strategies. Improvements include but are not limited to: sidewalks, car-sharing, bike facilities, transit stops, and mobility centers.
The Nexus Study outlines the reasonable relationship between new development upon which the Transportation Impact Fees are charged and the fee-funded
projects needed to mitigate the citywide effects of new automobile trips associated with new development. The Transportation Impact Fee collected from new
development is designed to address projected growth and to help achieve the goal of no net increase in PM peak hour vehicle trips. Projects funded by the fee
include completion of the sidewalk network, enhanced pedestrian crossings along major boulevards, striping and signage of new bike lanes, bike paths, bike
boulevards, and installation of new bus pads, bus benches and transit only lanes.
