2 of 19 <br /> <br /> <br />The nexus is based on the premise that new development should pay its pro-rata share <br />of public improvement costs. Because residents, businesses, and their employees <br />create the need for and benefit from the availability of public services and infrastructure <br />improvements, new development should pay its share of public facilities/improvements <br />necessitated and/or impacted by development. Pursuant to AB 1600, fees cannot be <br />imposed on new development to correct existing deficiencies or meet pre-existing <br />needs. <br /> <br />Existing Citywide Development Impact Fees <br />Pleasanton currently levies the following development impact fees: <br /> <br />• Capital Facilities Fee (CFF): Fees collected in this category fund acquisition, <br />construction and improvement of a range of public facilities including <br />parks/recreational facilities; public safety facilities; public parking; civic facilities; <br />and downtown beautification. <br /> <br />• Transportation Impact Fee (TIF): Fees collected in this category fund roadway <br />improvements to accommodate traffic generated as a result of new development, <br />including road and intersection improvements and traffic signalization; it also <br />covers multi-modal facilities such as those needed to support pedestrian and <br />bicycle users. <br /> <br />• Sewer Connection Fee: Local fees collected in this category fund sewer <br />improvements to accommodate the increased capacity as a result of new <br />development to convey sewage to the Dublin San Ramon Services District <br />(DSRSD) treatment plant. It includes City-owned pipes, manholes and pump <br />stations. DSRSD collects separate connection fees associated with <br />improvements to the regional system including the treatment plant and <br />transmission mains to serve new development. <br /> <br />• Water Connection Fee: Local fees collected in this category fund water and <br />recycled water improvements to accommodate the increased demand as a result <br />of new development to purchase, convey and store water. It includes the City’s <br />water turnouts (purchase water), pipes, wells, water tanks and pumping stations. <br />Separately, Zone 7 collects connection fees associated with expanding the Zone <br />7 and DSRSD-EBMUD Recycled Water Authority (DERWA) water treatment and <br />distribution system to serve new development. <br /> <br />Other City Fees <br />In addition to these citywide fees, some parts of the city are subject to Specific Plans or <br />area-specific facilities plans that address localized areas of development – separate or <br />additional fees are charged to reimburse the City for the infrastructure installed as <br />outlined in the plans and adopted by the City Council. Examples include Downtown <br />parking fees, and fees for infrastructure within Happy Valley, Ruby Hill, and the <br />Vineyard Avenue Corridor. No changes to these fees are proposed as part of this <br />update. The City also has a Recycled Water Connection Fee that was adopted in 2015 <br />for parts of the city that benefit from recycled water. An update to the Recycled Water
