Pleasanton Comprehensive Fee Update and Nexus Study November 2024 <br /> <br />Economic & Planning Systems, Inc. (EPS) 40 <br /> Nexus Findings and Impact Fee Summary <br />This chapter documents the necessary findings for the approval of a comprehensive DIF <br />program for Pleasanton, as required under Government Code Section 66000 (also <br />referred to as AB1600/the Mitigation Fee Act). Specifically, it demonstrates the "nexus" <br />between new development in Pleasanton and the infrastructure improvements needed to <br />serve it. It also summarizes the DIF calculations presented in previous chapters. <br />Nexus Findings <br />The development impact fees to be collected for all new development are calculated <br />based on the proportionate share of the total facility demand that the land uses included <br />in the DIF are anticipated to represent at build-out of the General Plan. With this context, <br />the following findings are made regarding the Fee Program. <br />Purpose and Use of Fees <br />Parks and Recreation Facilities <br />The fee will fund acquisition and improvements of new parks as well as existing facility <br />improvements and renovations, as documented in Chapter 3. <br />Public Facilities <br />The fee will fund construction and expansion of public facilities, including general <br />government, fire, police, and public works. The public facility components are <br />documented in Chapter 3. <br />Transportation <br />Fee revenue will be used to fund City transportation improvements, including <br />interchange, pedestrian / bicycle safety, and traffic signal improvements required to <br />serve future growth. A list of projects and costs is included in Appendix Table B-1. <br />Commercial Linkage Fee <br />The fee generated by this program will be deposited in the City’s Lower Income Housing <br />Fund, to assist in the production, acquisition of at-risk units, or rehabilitation of <br />affordable housing. <br />Relationship between Use of Fees and Type of Development <br />New development in the City of Pleasanton will require additional public facilities and <br />capital improvements, to maintain adequate levels of service and meet the needs of new <br />residents and employees. The DIF revenue will be used to fund the “fair share” cost of <br />these facilities and improvements based on the nexus relationships described in previous <br />Page 101 of 893
