City Council Meeting July 24, 1989
Study Session Agenda Item No. 7
CITY OF NEWPORT BEACH
TO: City Council
FROM: Planning Department
SUBJECT: IN LIEU PARK FEES
Background
At the City Council Study Session of August 10, 1987, the City Council requested
that the Planning Commission study the advisability of expanding the City's in
lieu fee requirement for parks to those projects which are not currently required
to pay a fee as the result of having processed a subdivision or parcel map. This
subject matter originally was brought to the attention of the City Council by
Councilmember Hart as the result of the 146 unit senior citizen congregate care
facility currently under construction on Superior Avenue near Placentia Avenue.
The issue is, had the 146 units in this project been interpreted to be a
residential development, as opposed to being treated like a hotel, and had it
required a subdivision or parcel map, the developers would have paid a fee to
the City of $1,006,578.00 for parks in addition to the $20,578.00 in Property
Development Taxes which were collected for parks, fire stations and libraries.
Implementation of the Recreation and Open Space Element
On February 11, 1985, the City Council adopted the current Recreation and Open
Space Element of the General Plan. This plan, in addition to inventorying
existing facilities also identified new recreation and open space sites, and
contains recommendations for intensification or expansion of existing sites and
programs. Also considered, but not adopted as part of the Recreation and Open
Space Element, was an Implementation Handbook. This document contains informa-
tion on various cost categories associated with the implementation of the
Recreation and Open Space Plan as well as funding sources. Funding suggestions
include possible revisions to the City's Park Dedication Ordinance and doubling
of the Building Excise Tax, as well as taking a look at City tideland and lease
revenues, user fees, park bonds, private open space support, SB821 funds, County
funds and Coastal Conservancy revenues (see attached).
Assembly Bill 1600
AB1600 (Cortese), which went into effect on January Ist of this year, requires
the City to establish a reasonable relationship between a development project
and the public improvement for which a developer fee is to be charged. This
relationship must be established in imposing a fee as a condition of approval
of a development project, establishing a new fee or increasing an existing fee.
In addition it requires segregation from the general fund and a refund procedure
if the funds are not committed, actually spent, or a continuing need justified
after five years have expired,

TO: City Council - 2.
Cigy Council Direction
It is the opinion of staff that an ordinance can be prepared which would be
similar in concept to the City's Fair Share Traffic Contribution Ordinance. That
is, it would be an ordinance which first takes a look at all of the park and
recreation sites and facilities to be acquired, built and expanded, and then
identifies the method by which they are to come to fruition, be it by outright
dedication or by fee, and the source of that fee. The shortfall, if any, would
be the new levy to be established by the ordinance. However, it is also the
opinion of staff that such task may not be worth the effort required, given the
following :
1. The City has recently revised the Land Use Element of the General Plan,
resulting in a reduction in population at buildout and a corresponding
reduction in projected park land needs.
2. There are very few residential sites remaining where two or more units can
be built, which will not require either a subdivision map or a parcel map.
3. Recently- constructed or approved multi -family projects have involved
affordable units where in lieu fees have been waived so as to assist in
their affordability.
4. Congregate care and senior citizen projects for the elderly have generally
been treated as commercial or institutional facilities not covered by the
current ordinance.
5. The shortfall to be funded cannot be determined until the willingness of
the City Council to explore other sources of revenue, as suggested in the
Implementation Handbook, is known.
6. The City Council is currently exploring sites to be acquired through Park
Bonds. These sites need to be identified.
In conclusion, the staff is prepared to proceed; however, some direction would
be helpful.
Respectfully submitted,

8. Funding Sources
There are several candidate financing techniques for the funding of recrea-
tion and open space acquisition improvement or maintenance and operation.
Some techniques have been addressed as specific implementation techniques.
Park Dedication Ordinance
This ordinance, which is recommended for revision, enables the acceptance of
dedicated land or fees in lieu of land in satisfaction of the park land
required to serve new residents. It is therefore based upon development of
residential Projects. These fees are used both for new projects and are
accumulated as in -lieu fees as a means to shift fees among neighborhoods.
The funds must be expended to benefit the neighborhood in which they are
collected.
The park dedication ordinance is intended to provide for the acquisition of
required parklands. The funds and land obtained through this mechanism are
not intended to provide for parkland maintenance. One drawback to the
ordinance is that it cannot require collection for infill projects which do
not require a subdivision map and a substantial portion of the City's remain-
ing development is small infill projects.
The City has adopted the occasional practice of
credit from future park dedication requirements,

The following table depicts the total park dedications due to new develop-
ment. The table includes the recommended land dedication - in -lieu fee split
proposed. The total 50.1 acres and $4,'724,220 in fees are sufficient to
cover demands projected in Chapter 3 for new park development and intensifi-
cation projects.

City Tideland and Lease Revenues
The City receives tideland revenues from the following sources:
--residential permits
--commercial permits
--offshore moorings
--Balboa Yacht Basin
--One-time commercial permit
--Corona del Mar parking lot
--Balboa parking lot
These revenues are used to maintain and operate tidelands including beach
cleanup, moorage administration, and dredging to replenish public beaches.
Some projects noted in the specific implementation recommendations could con-
stitute appropriate tideland expenditures such as North Star beach, Semeniuk
Slough improvements or the Pacific Coast Highway public boat launching area.
The City receives revenues from leases.on City property such as Marinapark,
Balboa Bay Club, Beacon Bay and others. These funds are used to maintain
City leaseholds and 47% of the revenues aria deposited in the Tideland fund
with the remainder deposited in the general fund.
Private Open Space Support
Public grants, individual and corporate contributions and community fund
raising are all viable open space funding sources. The City will continue to
encourage private donations to its park program and will publicize the oppor-
tunity to make such donations.
Park Bond

user fee concepts such as entrance fees for use of major recreational facili-
ties such as a swimming pool. Fees charged for private use of community
buildings and boat ramps should continue.

Building Excise Tax
The Building Excise Tax is charged on all new structures (including recon-
struction) at a rate of $.21 per square foot of enclosed area. Residential
and commercial projects are all charged this fee which is collected for park,
library and fire equipment funding. The share to parks has been proposed to
be fixed at 50% and the overall fee rate has been recommended to be increased
consistent with increased costs si.?ce its establishment. Doubling of the fee
to $.42 per square foot may be an appropriate rate increase. The following
table details the projected fees to be collected through the Building Excise
Tax. The $4,163,691 is adequate to meet the $2,566,800 projected obligation
detailed in Chapter 3.
SB 821 Funds
SB 821 Funds are of State origin and are disbursed by the Orange County
Transportation Commission (OCTC). They are allocated for bikeway projectso
including but not limited to signs, striping, staging areas, bridges and bike
lanes. Candidate projects must be a part of an adopted plan. The funds are
disbursed annually. 50% of the County's funds are allocated to cities on a
population basis. The remaining 50% are discretionary funds granted after a
prescribed nomination process and technical evaluation.
County Funds - Harbors, Beaches and Parks
The County Department of Harbors, Beaches and Parks acquires, maintains and
approves regional facilities of regional benefit such as certain beaches and
moorages, regional parks and recreational areas such as the Aliso Greenbelt.
California Coastal Conservancy
This State agency has some funds available on a statewide basis for grants or
seed grants (which must be repaid) for recreation, open space, resource or
tideland enhancement projects.

THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER - February 23, 1988
Newport builders to pay
37% more in park fees
The Register
NEWPORT BEACH —There's a
price to pay for bike trails, green-
belts and barbecue pits here, and
it's notcheap—$612,833 per acreof
parldand.
Based on a recent appraisal of
parkland in Newport Beach, the
City Council voted unanim usly
Monday to increase developer
park fees to $6,984 per apartment,
condominium or house. Thus, a de-
veloper of 100 homes would con-
tribute $698,400 to a city fund for
parks acquisition. -
The fee was increased 37 percent
because of skyrocketing land
prices in Newport Beach, city offi-
cials said. The city's fee is the high-
est of its kind in the county.
The council approved the mea-
sure without discussion and no de-
velopers complained about the in-
crease.
Newport Beach, along with most
cities in the county, requires resi-
dential developers to pay fees that
go into a fund -for parkland acquisi-
tion. The fees help cities meet a
state standard of 3 to 5 acres Of
parkland for every 1,000 residents.
The fees are based on the as-
sessed value of parkland in a city.
In Newport Beach, the value of
parldand steadily has increased
from $162,221 per acre,in 1979 to
$612,833. The city requires a new
appraisal at least every three

The City Council has approved a-37%
Increase In builders' fees to create city
parks to balance new development.
the increase, from $5,029 to $6,894 per
house or dwelling unit to be built,
represents the increased value of park-
land within the city, officials said. The
resolution, which takes effect immedi-
ately, was passed without comment from
developers.
The increase was based on a higher
"median market" value of city parklands
in a recent appraisal by the firm of
Charles P. Wadsworth, M:AI, of Newport
Beach, city officials said. Since the city's
first appraisal in 1979, the firm deter-
mined that the value of parklands has
increased from $447,000 per acre to
$612;833.
City Manager Robert L. Wynn said
the increase would have little Impact on
developers. "They [developers] pass it
on to the customer," he said. "But we
argue that it also increases the'value of
the land. If you have a park nearby for
your kids to play on, then that's a good
thing."
In 1977, the council began requiring a
ratio of five acres of parkland for each
1,ODO people expected to reside in a
proposed subdivision and charging park
fees to ensure that the land could be
purchased.

FROM: Bret B. Bernard, Associate'Planner
SUBJECT: In -Lieu Park Dedication Fees
On 22 February 1988, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 88-12
establishing $612,833 as the cost per acre to be used in assessing "in -lieu
park dedication fees" pursuant to Chapter 19.50 of the Newport Beach
Municipal Code. The current appraisal of Eastbluff Park, completed on 23
November 1987 by the firm of Charles P. Wadsworth, M.A.I., assumes the
highest and best use of the property is for residential development at a
density of ten dwelling units per acre. It establishes a value of
$8,500,000 for the park -site; which represents an increase in value of 37.1%
since the last appraisal, completed 11 June 1984. As used in assessing "in -
lieu park fees" for residential subdivisions, this value will result in
approximately $6,894 per dwelling unit.

In -Lieu Park Dedication Fees - Revised Eastbluff Park
Apprais
Report regarding the updated appraisal of Eastbluff Park and
the -adoption of a resolution certifying the cost per acre to
be used in assessing in -lieu park dedication fees.
If desired, adopt Resolution No. _ establishing $612,833 as the cost per
acre to be used in assessing in -lieu park dedication fees.
Backgroun
On May 23, 1977, the City Council adopted the Park Dedication Ordinance
which established..a standard " of five acres of parkland for each 1,000
population expected to reside in a proposed subdivision. Subsequently, in
August 1983, the City C�uncil- amended the Park Dedication Ordinance to be
consistent with California State law, and revis - e ' d the standard to three to
five acres of parkland for each 1,000 population expected to reside in a
proposed subdivision. If the subdivision contains fifty parcels or more,
the subdivider may dedicate land and/or pay an in -lieu fee equal to the
total park requirement. If the subdivision contains less than fifty
parcels, the subdivider, must pay an in -lieu fee equal to the value of the
parkland required for dedication. The value of the parkland is defined as
the "median fair market value per acre" of parks in the City.
Past Appraisals
On December 20, 1978, the City Council authorized the firm of Charles P.
Wadsworth, M.A.I., to perform an appraisal of Eastbluff Park to establish
the median park value per acre to be used in computing in -lieu fees. The
appraisal, completed in March 1979, established a value of $2,250,000 for
the 13.87 acre parcel. The value was equivalent to $162,221 per acre which
was subsequently established by the City Council as the value to be used in
administering the City's Park Dedication regulations (Resolution No. 9542,
adopted April 23, 1979).
Resolution No. 9542 provided that the cost per acre be reviewed and ad-
justed, if necessary, every three years. Therefore, the next review would
not have occurred until the Spring of 1982. However, because of the rapid
and dramatic escalation in real estate prides over the following two years,
