Pleasanton Comprehensive Development Impact Fee Nexus Study October 2024 <br />7 <br />Summary of Maximum Allowable Fees <br />Table 1 summarizes the City’s maximum allowable fee schedule for the capital facility <br />and equipment needs as evaluated in this Fee Update. The three fee categories updated <br />in this analysis are: <br />•Development Impact Fees – This fee includes the capital facilities fees and <br />transportation fees for the City. Calculations can be found in Chapters 2-4. <br />•Commercial Linkage Fee – This fee only applies to nonresidential developments <br />and is designed to mitigate its impact on the need for affordable housing in the city. <br />Calculations can be found in Chapter 5. <br />•Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fee – This fee only applies to residential developments <br />not providing the affordable housing on site required in the IZO. Calculations can be <br />found in Chapter 7. <br />Table 1 Summary of Maximum Fee Calculations <br />As noted, the fees represent the maximum allowable amount that the City can charge <br />based on the nexus requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act. The fees also include a two <br />percent administration charge to cover the cost of implementation, as described further <br />in Chapter 6. <br />Note that the maximum allowable commercial linkage fee is very large and significantly <br />exceeds levels that could feasibly be borne by new commercial developments. This is a <br />typical outcome for commercial linkage fee calculations and reflects the fundamental <br />impact that most employment generating uses have on the need for affordable housing. <br />This is why among the relatively small proportion of cities that impose commercial <br />linkage fees, few, if any, charge the maximum allowable amount. To do so would likely <br />have a deleterious effect on a city’s economic development and fiscal health. <br />Land Use <br />Capital Facilties <br />Fees1 <br />Transportation <br />Fee1 <br />Commercial <br />Linkage Fee <br />Inclusionary <br />In-Lieu Fee Total <br />Residential (per sq. ft.) <br />Single Family Detached $11.87 $8.23 $84.25 $104.35 <br />Townhomes $11.87 $8.23 $42.10 $62.20 <br />Condos $23.48 $12.47 $54.87 $90.82 <br />Multifamily Rental $23.48 $12.47 $69.19 $105.14 <br />Nonresidential (per sq. ft.) <br />Office $13.41 $31.50 $142.42 $187.34 <br />Retail $9.15 $48.35 $578.73 $636.23 <br />Industrial $4.02 $17.94 $143.39 $165.35 <br />Lodging $1.34 $25.82 $72.86 $100.02 <br />(1) Includes 2% adminstrative charge. <br />Page 303 of 658
