DATE: March 1, 2018 (City Council Meeting of March 7, 2018)
SUBJECT: Consider Scheduling a Public Hearing to Consider a Resolution
Updating Police Facilities Fee and Finding This Action Exempt from
the California Environmental Quality Act
SUMMARY
The Police Facilities Fee is collected by the City prior to the issuance of building
permits The purpose of the Police Facilities Fee is to provide funding for the
construction and improvement of the Police Services Center as a result of increased
demand for Police services arising from additional development The Police Services
Center was completed in the fall of 2005 The last increase occurred in 2006 Staff
recommends setting a public hearing for April 4, 2018, to consider an increase to the
Police Facilities Fee
DISCUSSION
The City began collecting a Police Facilities Fee with the adoption of Ordinance No 9 in
October 1983 During April 1995, Ordinance No 9 was replaced with Ordinance No
206 and Resolution No 95-1112, establishing the Police Facilities Fee Subsequently,
in September 2000, Resolution No 2000-1777 was adoption which increased the Police
Facilities Fee The last increase occurred in 2006 with the adoption of Resolution No
2006-2446 and is currently $1 ,027 per unit for residential development and $0 60 per
square foot for non-residential development Twelve years has elapsed since the last
increase and a number of factors have changed that warrant a new calculation of the
Police Facilities Fee
As of today, the exact amount of the recommended fee increase has not been
determined Staff intends to complete the analysis prior to the April 4th meeting and
provide that information to the City Council and other interested parties
California Government Code Section 66014 provides for cities to charge fees that do
not exceed the costs associated with processing land development, zoning and use
