It is the City's intent that the costs representing future development's share of public facilities and capital improvements be imposed on that development in the form of a development impact fee, also known as a public facilities fee. The public facilities and improvements included in this analysis are divided into the fee categories listed below: Recreation Facilities Water Capacity Police Facilities Sewer Capacity Fire/Life Safety Facilities Background and Study Objectives The primary policy objective of a development impact fee program is to ensure that new development pays the capital costs associated with growth. Although growth also imposes operating costs, there is not a similar system to generate revenue from new development for services. The primary purpose of this report is to calculate and present fees that will enable the City to expand its inventory of public facilities, as new development creates increases in service demands. If adopted, the City would collect public facilities fees under authority granted by the Mitigation Fee Act (the Act), contained in California Government Code Sections 66000 et seq. This report provides the necessary findings required by the Act for adoption of the fees presented in the fee schedules contained herein. If the City adopts impact fees, it should program development impact fee funding to specific capital projects through its Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Using a CIP would allow the City to identify and direct its fee revenue to public facilities projects that will accommodate future growth. By programming fee revenues to specific capital projects, the City can help ensure a reasonable relationship between new development and the use of fee revenues as required by the Act. Facility Standards and Costs There are several approaches to calculate facilities standards and allocate the costs of planned facilities to accommodate growth in compliance with the Act requirements in this study. The system plan approach is based on a master facility plan in situations where the needed facilities serve both existing and new development. This approach allocates existing and planned facilities across existing and new development to determine new development's fair share of facility needs. This approach is used when it is not possible to differentiate the benefits of new facilities between new and existing development. Often the system plan is based on increasing facility standards, so the City must find non -impact fee revenue sources to fund existing development's fair share of planned facilities. This approach is used for the police and fire/life safety facility fees in this report. The planned facilities approach allocates costs based on the ratio of planned public facilities that are necessitated by the increase in demand associated with new development. This approach is appropriate when specific planned facilities that only benefit new development can be identified, or when the specific share of facilities benefiting new development can be identified. This approach is used for the recreation facilities fees in this report. W I LLDAN City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study The buy -in method is typically used when the existing system has sufficient capacity to serve new development, now and into the future. Under the buy -in methodology, new development "buys" a proportionate share of existing capacity at the current value of the existing facilities. This approach is typically used for utility fees, where existing facilities are built with excess capacity to serve future development. This approach is used for the water and sewer capacity charges in this report. The existing inventory approach is based on a facility standard derived from the City's existing level of facilities and existing demand for services. This approach results in no facility deficiencies attributable to existing development. While preliminary facilities to accommodate growth are identified in this report, facilities to serve growth will be programmed through the City's annual CIP and budget process and/or completion of a new facility financial plan. This approach is not used in this report, though the existing level of service is identified as appropriate to comply with provisions of AB 602. Use of Fee Revenues Impact fee revenue must be spent on new facilities or the expansion of current facilities to serve new development. Facilities can be generally defined as capital acquisition items with a useful life greater than five years. Impact fee revenue can be spent on capital facilities to serve new development, including but not limited to land acquisition, construction of buildings, construction of infrastructure, the acquisition of vehicles or equipment, information technology, software licenses and equipment. Revenue from the capacity charges for water and sewer facilities can be used to reimburse the City for prior infrastructure investments. Once reimbursed, the City is able to spend fee revenue as it desires. In that the City cannot predict with certainty how and when development within the City will occur during the planning horizon assumed in this study, the City may need to update and revise the project lists funded by the fees documented in this study. Any substitute projects should be funded within the same facility category, and the substitute projects must still benefit and have a relationship to new development. The City could identify any changes to the projects funded by the impact fees when the CIP is updated. The impact fees could also be updated if significant changes to the projects funded by the fees are anticipated.

Introduction This report presents an analysis of the need for public facilities to accommodate new development in the City of Newport Beach. This chapter provides background for the study and explains the study approach under the following sections: ■ Public Facilities Financing in California; ■ Study Objectives; ■ Fee Program Maintenance; ■ Study Methodology; and ■ Organization of the Report. Public Facilities Financing in California The changing fiscal landscape in California during the past 45 years has steadily undercut the financial capacity of local governments to fund infrastructure. Three dominant trends stand out: ■ The passage of a string of tax limitation measures, starting with Proposition 13 in 1978 and continuing through the passage of Proposition 218 in 1996; ■ Declining popular support for bond measures to finance infrastructure for the next generation of residents and businesses; and ■ Steep reductions in federal and state assistance. Faced with these trends, many cities and counties have had to adopt a policy of "growth pays its own way." This policy shifts the burden of funding infrastructure expansion from existing ratepayers and taxpayers onto new development. This funding shift has been accomplished primarily through the imposition of assessments, special taxes, and development impact fees also known as public facilities fees. Assessments and special taxes require the approval of property owners and are appropriate when the funded facilities are directly related to the developing property. Development impact fees, on the other hand, are an appropriate funding source for facilities that benefit all development jurisdiction -wide. Development impact fees need only a majority vote of the legislative body for adoption. The primary policy objective of a public facilities fee program is to ensure that new development pays the capital costs associated with growth. The primary purpose of this report is to establish development impact fees for the City of Newport Beach based on the most current available facility plans and growth projections. The maximum justified fees will enable the City to expand its inventory of public facilities as new development leads to increases in service demands. If adopted, the City would collect public facilities fees under authority granted by the Mitigation Fee Act (the Act), contained in California Government Code Sections 66000 et seq. This report provides the necessary findings required by the Act for adoption of the fees outlined in the fee schedules presented in this report. The City of Newport Beach is forecast to see moderate growth through this study's planning horizon of 2045. This growth will create an increase in demand for public services and the facilities required to deliver them. Given the revenue challenges described above, Newport Beach has decided to investigate use of a development impact fee program to ensure that new development funds its share of facility costs associated with growth. This report makes use of the W I LLDAN City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study most current available growth forecasts and facility plans to calculate impact fees to fund facility needs resulting from demand from new development. Fee Program Maintenance Once a fee program has been adopted it must be properly maintained to ensure that the revenue collected adequately funds the facilities needed by new development. To avoid collecting inadequate revenue, the inventories of existing facilities and costs for planned facilities must be updated periodically for inflation, and the fees recalculated to reflect the higher costs. The use of established indices such as the California Construction Cost Index, are necessary to accurately adjust the impact fees. See Chapter 9 for a discussion of best practices for inflation adjustments. While fee updates using inflation indices are appropriate for annual or periodic updates to ensure that fee revenues keep up with increases in the costs of public facilities, it is recommended to conduct more extensive updates of the fee documentation and calculation (such as this study) when significant new data on growth forecasts and/or facility plans become available. For further detail on fee program implementation, see Chapter 9. r ram Tom no = Development impact fees are calculated to fund the cost of facilities required to accommodate growth. The six steps followed in this development impact fee study include: 1. Estimate existing development and future growth: Identify a base year for existing development and a growth forecast that reflects increased demand for public facilities; 2. Identify facility standards: Determine the facility standards used to plan for new and expanded facilities; 3. Determine facilities required to serve new development: Estimate the total amount of planned facilities, and identify the share required to accommodate new development; 4. Determine the cost of facilities required to serve new development: Estimate the total amount and the share of the cost of planned facilities required to accommodate new development; 5. Calculate fee schedule: Allocate facilities costs per unit of new development to calculate the development impact fee schedule; and 6. Identify alternative funding requirements: Determine if any non -fee funding is required to complete projects. The key public policy issue in development impact fee studies is the identification of facility standards (step #2, above). Facility standards document a reasonable relationship between new development and the need for new facilities. Standards ensure that new development does not fund deficiencies associated with existing development. Types of Facility Standards There are three separate components of facility standards: ■ Demand standards determine the amount of facilities required to accommodate growth, for example, park acres per thousand residents, square feet of library space per capita, or gallons of water per day. Demand standards may also reflect a level of service such as the vehicle volume -to -capacity (V/C) ratio used in traffic planning. ■ Design standards determine how a facility should be designed to meet expected demand, for example, park improvement requirements and technology infrastructure W I LLDAN i.iP1C 1 k"I'll City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study for City office space. Design standards are typically not explicitly evaluated as part of an impact fee analysis but can have a significant impact on the cost of facilities. Our approach incorporates the cost of planned facilities built to satisfy the City's facility design standards. Cost standards are an alternate method for determining the amount of facilities required to accommodate growth based on facility costs per unit of demand. Cost standards are useful when demand standards were not explicitly developed for the facility planning process. Cost standards also enable different types of facilities to be analyzed based on a single measure (cost or value) and are useful when different facilities are funded by a single fee program. Examples include facility costs per capita, cost per vehicle trip, or cost per gallon of water per day. New Development Facility Needs and Costs A number of approaches are used to identify facility needs and costs to serve new development. This is often a two-step process: (1) identify total facility needs, and (2) allocate to new development its fair share of those needs. There are several methods for determining new development's fair share of planned facilities costs: the system plan method, the planned facilities method, the buy -in method and the existing inventory method. The formula used by each approach and the advantages and disadvantages of each method is summarized below: System Plan Method This method calculates the fee based on the value of existing facilities plus the cost of planned facilities, divided by demand from existing plus new development: Value of Existing Facilities + Cost of Planned Facilities Existing + New Development Demand = $/unit of demand This method is useful when planned facilities need to be analyzed as part of a system that benefits both existing and new development. It is difficult, for example, to allocate a new fire station solely to new development when that station will operate as part of an integrated system of fire stations that together achieve the desired level of service. The system plan method ensures that new development does not pay for existing deficiencies. Often facility standards based on policies such as those found in General Plans are higher than the existing facility standards. This method enables the calculation of the existing deficiency required to bring existing development up to the policy -based standard. The local agency must secure non -fee funding for that portion of planned facilities required to correct the deficiency to ensure that new development receives the level of service funded by the impact fee. This approach is used for the police and fire/life safety facility fees in this report. Planned Facilities Method The planned facilities method allocates costs based on the ratio of planned facility costs to demand from new development as follows: Cost of Planned Facilities = New Development Demand cost per unit of demand This method is appropriate when planned facilities will entirely serve new development, or when a fair share allocation of planned facilities to new development can be estimated. An example of the former is a wastewater trunk line extension to a previously undeveloped area. An example of the latter is when the identified planned facilities represent a lower level of service that currently exists, so new development can fully fund the identified planned facilities. This approach is used to calculate the recreation facility fees in this report. WILLDAN City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Buy -In Method The buy -in method is based on the value of the existing system's capacity. This method is typically used when the existing system has sufficient capacity to serve new development now and into the future. Under the buy -in methodology, new development "buys" a proportionate share of existing capacity at the current value of the existing facilities. The buy -in fee is determined by taking the current value of assets (replacement cost new, less depreciation) divided by the current capacity provided by the system. Responsibility for new capital improvements is then shared equally by all customers. A simplified version of the calculation equation is: Present Value of Existing Facilities Existing System Capacity = cost per unit of demand This approach is typically used for utility fees, where existing facilities are built with excess capacity to serve future development. This approach is used for the water and sewer capacity fees in this report. Existing Inventory Method The existing inventory method allocates costs based on the ratio of existing facilities to demand from existing development as follows: Current Value of Existing Facilities Existing Development Demand = cost per unit of demand Under this method new development will fund the expansion of facilities at the same standard currently serving existing development. The existing inventory method results in no facility deficiencies attributable to existing development. This method is often used when a long-range plan for new facilities is not available. Future facilities to serve growth are identified through an annual CIP and budget process, possibly after completion of a new facility financing plan. This approach is not used in this report, though the existing level of service is identified as appropriate to comply with provisions of AB 602. The determination of a public facilities fee begins with the selection of a planning horizon and development of growth projections for population and employment. These projections are used throughout the analysis of different facility categories and are summarized in Chapter 2. Chapters 3 through 7 identify facility standards and planned facilities, allocate the cost of planned facilities between new development and other development, and identify the appropriate development impact fee for each of the following facility categories: Recreation Facilities Water Capacity Police Facilities Sewer Capacity Fire/Life Safety Facilities Chapter 8 describes how this nexus study complies with the requirements of Assembly Bill (AB) 602. Chapter 9 details the procedures that the City must follow when implementing a development impact fee program. Impact fee program adoption procedures are found in California Government Code Sections 66016 through 66018. W I LLDAN I,1 11 I:ES 2. Growth Forecasts Growth projections are used as indicators of demand to determine facility needs and allocate those needs between existing and new development. This chapter explains the source for the growth projections used in this study based on a 2024 base year and a planning horizon of 2045. Estimates of existing development and projections of future growth are critical assumptions used throughout this report. These estimates are used as follows: ■ The estimate of existing development in 2024 is used as an indicator of existing facility demand and to determine existing facility standards. The estimate of total development at the 2045 planning horizon is used as an indicator of future demand to determine total facilities needed to accommodate growth and remedy existing facility deficiencies, if any; and Estimates of growth from 2024 through 2045 are used to (1) allocate facility costs between new development and existing development, and (2) estimate total fee revenues. The demand for public facilities is based on the service population, dwelling units or nonresidential development creating the need for the facilities. Land Use Types To ensure a reasonable relationship between each fee and the type of development paying the fee, growth projections distinguish between different land use types. The land use types for which impact fees have been calculated are defined below. ■ Residential Dwelling Units: All residential dwelling units, including detached and attached one -unit dwellings and all multifamily dwellings including apartments, duplexes and condominiums. ■ Commercial: All commercial, retail, educational, and service development. ■ Office: All general, professional, and medical office development. ■ Industrial: All manufacturing, warehouse, distribution, and other industrial development. Some developments may include more than one land use type, such as a mixed -use development with both residential and commercial uses. In those cases, the facilities fee would be calculated separately for each land use type. The City has the discretion to determine which land use type best reflects a development project's characteristics for purposes of imposing an impact fee and may adjust fees for special or unique uses to reflect the impact characteristics of the use. If a project results in the intensification of use, at its discretion, the City can charge the project for the difference in fees between the existing low intensity use and the future high intensity use. Impact Fees for Accessory Dwelling Units The California State Legislature recently amended requirements on local agencies for the imposition of development impact fees on accessory dwelling units (ADU) with AB 68 in 2021. The amendment to California Government Code §65852.2(0(2) stipulates that local agencies may not impose any impact fees on ADU less than 750 square feet. ADU greater than or equal to 750 square feet can be charged impact fees in proportion to the size of the primary dwelling unit. W I LLDAN City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Calculating Impact Fees for Accessory Dwelling Units For ADUs greater than or equal to 750 square feet, impact fees can be charged as a percentage of the single-family impact fee. The formula is: ADU Square Feet Primary Residence Square Feet x Single Family Impact Fee = ADU Impact Fee In the case of an 800 square foot ADU and a 1,600 square foot primary residence, the impact fees would be 50 percent (800 square feet / 1,600 square feet = 50%) of the single-family dwelling unit fee. Existing and Future Development Table 2.1 shows the estimated number of residents, dwelling units, employees, and building square feet in Newport Beach, both in 2024 and in 2045. The base year estimates of household residents and dwelling units came from the California Department of Finance (DOF). The population projection for 2045 was calculated based on the increase in dwelling units identified in the City's recent Housing Element (excluding development projects in the pipeline) multiplied by estimates of 2.09 residents per single family unit and 1.56 residents per multifamily unit calculated from the latest data from the American Community Survey for Newport Beach. The projection assumes that 90% of future dwelling units will be multifamily units, based on direction from City planning staff. Base year employees were estimated based on the latest data from the US Census' OnTheMap application and exclude 886 local government (public administration) employees. Local government employees are excluded; it is assumed that local government employees are needed to serve development, as opposed to being the development that must be served. The increase of 1,500 jobs in the City is based on the Southern California Association of Government's (SCAG) SoCal Connect Growth Forecast. The projected proportion of workers by land use is consistent with current estimates. The estimates of non-residential building square feet were estimated by dividing employee counts by the occupancy density factors presented in the following table.

All fees in this report are calculated based on dwelling units or building square feet. Occupant density assumptions ensure a reasonable relationship between the size of a development project, the increase in service population associated with the project, and the amount of the fee. Occupant densities (residents per dwelling unit or workers per building square foot) are the most appropriate characteristics to use for most impact fees. The fee imposed should be based on the land use type that most closely represents the probable occupant density of the development. 10 W I LLDAN City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study The occupancy factors are shown in Table 2.2. The residential density factors are based on data for Newport Beach from the 2022 U.S. Census' American Community Survey. Note that the ratio of single family to multifamily units is projected to change over time. The average residents per dwelling unit for growth projected to 2045 is 1.61 residents per unit and reflects the increasing ratio of multifamily units. The nonresidential occupancy factors are derived from national data from the Institute of Traffic Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition.

Land Value Assumptions A key assumption in calculating impact fees is the value of land acquisition. Land acquisition costs vary widely in Newport Beach. To more accurately reflect the current cost of land acquisition, City staff prepared estimates of land acquisition costs for three geographical areas of the City, referred to in Table 2.3 as tiers. City GIS staff identified City owned parcels within each tier for use in this analysis. Figure 1 displays a map of the land value tiers.

Recreation Facilities The purpose of this fee is to ensure that new development funds its fair share of recreation facilities. A fee schedule is presented based on the planned facilities standard of recreation facilities per capita. Service Population Recreation facilities in Newport Beach primarily serve residents. Therefore, demand for services and associated facilities is based on the City's residential population. Table 3.1 shows the existing and future projected service population for recreation facilities. Table 3.1: Recreation Facilities Service Population Residents Existing (2024) 82,008 New Development (2024-2045) 14,099 Total (2045) 96,107 Source: Table 2.1. The City's recreation facilities inventory is comprised of various community centers, senior centers, junior lifeguard facilities and harbor facilities. The replacement cost of the buildings was identified in the City's facilities planning documents. The assumed land costs were provided by the City for use in this analysis and vary by geographic area of the City. Replacement costs per square foot for existing buildings were identified in the City's Facilities Financial Plan (FFP). The replacement cost of existing recreation facilities that will be replaced by the planned facilities is excluded from the inventory. In total the City owns $438.8 million worth of recreation facilities.

Existing Level of Service Table 3.4 expresses the City's current recreation facilities level of service in terms of an existing cost per capita, by dividing the replacement cost of the City's existing facilities by the existing service population. This cost per resident is not used in the fee calculation, rather it is shown here for informational purposes only.

Future Level of Service Table 3.5 shows new development's cost per capita needed to fully fund the planned facilities. The level of service indicated by the planned facility standard is lower than the existing standard. This level of service drives the fee calculation. This value is calculated by dividing the cost of planned facilities by the increase in population. The resulting cost per capita drives the fee calculation. 15 W 1 LLDAN City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Table 3.5: Planned Facilities Standard Cost of Planned Facilities $ 72,814,300 Growth in Service Population 14,099 Facility Standard per Capita $ 5,164 Sources: Tables 3.1 and 3.3; Willdan Financial Services. Fee Revenue Projection The City plans to use recreation facilities fee revenue to construct improvements and acquire capital facilities and equipment to add to the system of recreation facilities to serve new development. The City plans to construct the facilities in Table 3.3. By using the planned facilities cost allocation method, the cost of the planned facilities is equal to the projected impact fee revenue for this facility category. Fee Schedule Table 3.6 shows the maximum justified recreation facilities fee schedule. The cost per capita is converted to a fee per unit of new development based on dwelling unit densities (persons per dwelling unit). The fee per dwelling unit is converted into a fee per square foot by dividing the fee per dwelling unit by the assumed average square footage of a dwelling unit. The total fee includes a two percent (2.0%) administrative charge to fund costs that include: a standard overhead charge applied to City programs for legal, accounting, and other departmental and administrative support, and fee program administrative costs including revenue collection, revenue and cost accounting and mandated public reporting. In Willdan's experience with impact fee programs, two percent of the base fee adequately covers the cost of fee program administration. The administrative charge should be reviewed and adjusted during comprehensive impact fee updates to ensure that revenue generated from the charge sufficiently covers, but does not exceed, the administrative costs associated with the fee program. 16 VV WILLDAN City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Table 3.6: Maximum Justified Recreation Facilities Fee Schedule A B C=AxB D=Cx0.02 E=C+D F=E/Average Cost Per Admin Fee per Land Use Capita Density Base Fee' Charge�� Total Fee' Sq.

Sources: Tables 2.2 and 3.5; Willdan Financial Services. Mitigation Fee Act Findings The five statutory findings required for adoption of the recreation facilities fees documented in this chapter are presented below and supported in detail by the analysis above. All statutory references are to the Act. Purpose of Fee • Identify the purpose of the fee (§66001(a)(1) of the Act). The recreation facilities fee is designed to ensure that new development will not burden the existing service population with the cost of recreation facilities required to accommodate growth. The purpose of the fees documented in this chapter is to provide a funding source from new development for capital improvements to serve that development. The fees advance a legitimate City interest by enabling the City to provide recreation facilities to serve new development. Use of Fee Revenues • Identify the use to which the fees will be put. If the use is financing facilities, the facilities shall be identified. That identification may, but need not, be made by reference to a capital improvement plan as specified in §65403 or §66002, may be made in applicable general or specific plan requirements, or may be made in other public documents that identify the facilities for which the fees are charged (§66001(a) (2) of the Act). Recreation facilities fees, if enacted by the City, would be used to fund expanded recreation facilities to serve new development citywide. Facilities funded by these fees are designated to be located within the City limits. A list of planned recreation projects is included in Table 3.3. Benefit Relationship • Determine the reasonable relationship between the fees' use and the type of development project on which the fees are imposed (§66001(a)(3) of the Act). The City will restrict fee revenue to the acquisition of land, construction of facilities and buildings, and purchase of related equipment, furnishings, vehicles, and services used to serve new development. Facilities funded by the fees are expected to provide a citywide network of facilities accessible to the residents with new development, who represent the demand for recreation facilities. Using the planned facilities cost allocation methodology outlined in Chapter 1, and the cost per capita standard calculated in Table 3.5, the resulting fees ensure that new development will only fund its fair share of improvements at a level of service that is lower than the existing 17 W I LLDAN �.�A nl L..1L 5_kViCES City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study level of service. Thus, a reasonable relationship can be shown between the use of fee revenue and the new development residential use classification that will pay the fees. Burden Relationship • Determine the reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities and the types of development on which the fees are imposed (§66001(a)(4) of the Act). New residential development will generate additional population growth. An increase in residents will increase the demand for recreation facilities. Facilities need is based on a facility standard that represents the demand generated by new development for those facilities. For the recreation facilities fee, demand is measured by a single facility standard (cost per capita) that can be applied to residential development to ensure a reasonable relationship to the type of development. The service population standards are calculated based upon the number of residents associated with residential development. The standard used to allocate facilities costs to new development is also used to determine if planned facilities will partially serve the existing service population by correcting existing deficiencies. This approach ensures that new development will only be responsible for its fair share of planned facilities, and that the fees will not unfairly burden new development with the cost of facilities associated with serving the existing service population. In this case the planned facilities cost per capita is lower than the existing standard cost per capita, which indicates that new development is not being asked to fund a higher level of service than currently exists in the City. Proportionality • Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fees amount and the cost of the facilities or portion of the facilities attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed (§66001(b) of the Act). The reasonable relationship between each facilities fee for a specific new development project and the cost of the facilities attributable to that project is based on the estimated residential population growth the project will accommodate. Fees for a specific project are based on the project's size. Larger development projects can result in a higher service population resulting in higher fee revenue than smaller projects in the same land use classification. Thus, the fees ensure a reasonable relationship between a specific new development project and the cost of the facilities attributable to that project. 18 W I LLDAN 4. Police Facilities The purpose of this fee is to ensure that new development funds its fair share of police facilities. A fee schedule is presented based on the system standard of police facilities in the City of Newport Beach to ensure that new development provides adequate funding to meet its needs. Police facilities serve both residents and businesses. Therefore, demand for services and associated facilities are based on the City's service population including residents and workers. Table 4.1 shows the existing and future projected service population for police facilities. While specific data is not available to estimate the actual ratio of demand per resident to demand by businesses (per worker) for this service, it is reasonable to assume that demand for these services is less for one employee compared to one resident, because nonresidential buildings are typically occupied less intensively than dwelling units. The 0.31-weighting factor for workers is based on a 40-hour workweek divided by the total number of non -work hours in a week (128) and reflects the degree to which nonresidential development yields a lesser demand for police facilities.

The City plans to construct the facilities in Table 4.3. Table 4.6 details a projection of fee revenue, based on the service population growth increment identified in Table 4.1. The cost of the planned facilities not funded by fee revenue represents existing development's share of the facilities and must be funded by any revenue source other than impact fees. The facilities identified in Table 4.3 must be constructed by the planning horizon of this study, or new development will have paid too high a fee. Table 4.6: Revenue Projection - System Standard Cost per Capita $ 1,104 Growth in Service Population (2024 - 2045) 14,564 Fee Revenue $ 16,079,000 Net Cost of Planned Facilities $ 92,400,000 Non -Fee Revenue To Be Identified $ (76,321,000) Sources: Tables 4.1, 4.3 and 4.4. Fee Schedule Table 4.7 shows the maximum justified police facilities fee schedule. The City can adopt any fee up to this amount. The cost per capita is converted to a fee per unit of new development based on dwelling unit and employment densities (persons per dwelling unit or employees per 1,000 square feet of nonresidential building space). The fee per dwelling unit is converted into a fee per 22 NN/W 1 LLDAN 2, 1 City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study square foot by dividing the fee per dwelling unit by the assumed average square footage of a dwelling unit. The total fee includes a two percent (2.0%) administrative charge to fund costs that include: a standard overhead charge applied to City programs for legal, accounting, and other departmental and administrative support, and fee program administrative costs including revenue collection, revenue and cost accounting and mandated public reporting. In Willdan's experience with impact fee programs, two percent of the base fee adequately covers the cost of fee program administration. The administrative charge should be reviewed and adjusted during comprehensive impact fee updates to ensure that revenue generated from the charge sufficiently covers, but does not exceed, the administrative costs associated with the fee program.

Mitigation Fee Act Findings The five statutory findings required for adoption of the police facilities fees documented in this chapter are presented below and supported in detail by the analysis above. All statutory references are to the Act. Purpose of Fee • Identify the purpose of the fee (§66001(a)(1) of the Act). The police facilities fee is designed to ensure that new development will not burden the existing service population with the cost of police facilities required to accommodate growth. The purpose of the fees documented in this chapter is to provide a funding source from new development for capital improvements to serve that development. The fees advance a legitimate City interest by enabling the City to provide police facilities to serve new development. Use of Fee Revenues • Identify the use to which the fees will be put. If the use is financing facilities, the facilities shall be identified. That identification may, but need not, be made by reference to a capital 23 W 1 LLDAN EH'1-1 City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study improvement plan as specified in §65403 or §66002, may be made in applicable general or specific plan requirements, or may be made in other public documents that identify the facilities for which the fees are charged (§66001(a)(2) of the Act). Police facilities fees, if enacted by the City, would be used to fund expanded police facilities to serve new development citywide. Facilities funded by these fees are designated to be located within the City limits. A list of planned police facilities projects is included in Table 4.3. Benefit Relationship • Determine the reasonable relationship between the fees' use and the type of development project on which the fees are imposed (§66001(a)(3) of the Act). The City will restrict fee revenue to the acquisition of land, construction of facilities and buildings, and purchase of related equipment, furnishings, vehicles, and services used to serve new development. Facilities funded by the fees are expected to provide a citywide network of facilities accessible to the residents and workers associated with new development, who represent demand for police facilities. Using the system plan standard cost allocation methodology outlined in Chapter 1, and the cost per capita standard calculated in Table 4.5, the resulting fees ensure that new development will only fund its fair share of improvements, and impact fee revenue will not be used to correct existing deficiencies. Thus, a reasonable relationship can be shown between the use of fee revenue and the new development residential and non-residential use classifications that will pay the fees. Burden Relationship • Determine the reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities and the types of development on which the fees are imposed (§66001(a)(4) of the Act). New residential and nonresidential development will generate additional population growth. An increase in residents and workers will increase the demand for police facilities. Facilities need is based on a facility standard that represents the demand generated by new development for those facilities. For the police facilities fee, demand is measured by a single facility standard (cost per capita at the planning horizon) that can be applied across land use types to ensure a reasonable relationship to the type of development. The service population standards are calculated based upon the number of residents associated with residential development and the number of workers associated with non-residential development. To calculate a single, per capita standard, one worker is weighted less than one resident based on an analysis of the relative use demand between residential and non-residential development. See the Service Population section above for a discussion of the worker weighting factor. The standard used to allocate facilities costs to new development is also used to determine if planned facilities will partially serve the existing service population by correcting existing deficiencies. This approach ensures that new development will only be responsible for its fair share of planned facilities, and that the fees will not unfairly burden new development with the cost of facilities associated with serving the existing service population. Proportionality • Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fees amount and the cost of the facilities or portion of the facilities attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed (§66001(b) of the Act). The reasonable relationship between each facilities fee for a specific new development project and the cost of the facilities attributable to that project is based on the estimated residential and nonresidential population growth the development project will accommodate. Fees for a specific project are based on the project's size. Larger development projects can result in a higher service population resulting in higher fee revenue than smaller projects in the same land use classification. Thus, the fees ensure a reasonable relationship between a specific new 24 W 1 LLDAN City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study development project and the cost of the facilities attributable to that project. See Table 2.2 for the occupancy density assumptions that drive the proportionality of the fees between the land uses included in this study. 25 W 1 LLDAN su-11F, 5. Fire/Life Safety Facilities The purpose of the fire impact fee is to fund the fire facilities needed to serve new development. A maximum justified fee schedule is presented based on the system plan standard of fire/life safety facilities per capita. Service Population Fire facilities are used to provide services to both residents and businesses. The service population used to determine the demand for fire facilities includes both residents and workers. Table 5.1 shows the current fire facilities service population and the estimated service population at the planning horizon of 2045. To calculate the service population for fire/life safety facilities, residents are weighted at 1.00. The use of a worker demand factor of 0.44 for workers in Newport Beach is based on an analysis of fire department call data, categorized by land use, in the City from 2023. Average annual incidents at residential land uses were divided by the residential population to yield an average annual incidents -per -capita factor. Dividing average annual incidents at nonresidential areas by average annual employment in the City yielded a comparable per -capita factor. The ratio of the worker per capita factor to the resident per capita factor is the worker demand factor used in the analysis. See Appendix Table A.3 for a detailed worker weighting analysis.

The cost per capita is multiplied by the worker weighting factor to determine the cost per worker. This cost per capita standard does not drive the fee calculation and is included to comply with the requirements of AB 602.

Fee Revenue Projection The City plans to use fire/life safety facilities fee revenue to construct improvements and acquire capital facilities and equipment to add to the system of fire/life safety facilities to serve new development. The City plans to construct the facilities in Table 5.3. Table 5.6 details a projection of fee revenue, based on the service population growth increment identified in Table 5.1. The cost of the planned facilities not funded by fee revenue represents existing development's share of the facilities and can be funded by any revenue source other than impact fees. The facilities identified in Table 5.3 must be constructed by the planning horizon of this study, or new development will have paid too high a fee. Table 5.6: Proiected Fee Revenue Cost per Capita $ 1,911 Growth in Service Population (2023- 2045) 14,759 Fee Revenue $ 28,204,000 Net Cost of Planned Facilities $ 46,336,175 Non -Fee Revenue To Be Identified $ (18,132,175) Sources: Tables 5.1, 5.3 and 5.4. Fee Schedule Table 5.7 shows the maximum justified fire/life safety facilities fee schedule. The cost per capita is converted to a fee per unit of new development based on dwelling unit and employment densities (persons per dwelling unit or employees per 1,000 square feet of nonresidential building space). The fee per average sized single family, and multifamily dwelling unit is converted into a 29 W 1 LLDAN 1-11 <, City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study fee per square foot by dividing the fee per dwelling unit by the assumed average square footage of each type of unit. The total fee includes a two percent (2.0%) administrative charge to fund costs that include: a standard overhead charge applied to City programs for legal, accounting, and other departmental and administrative support, and fee program administrative costs including revenue collection, revenue and cost accounting and mandated public reporting. In Willdan's experience with impact fee programs, two percent of the base fee adequately covers the cost of fee program administration. The administrative charge should be reviewed and adjusted during comprehensive impact fee updates to ensure that revenue generated from the charge sufficiently covers, but does not exceed, the administrative costs associated with the fee program.

Sources: Tables 2.2 and 5.5. Mitigation Fee Act Findings The five statutory findings required for adoption of the fire/life safety facilities fees documented in this chapter are presented below and supported in detail by the analysis above. All statutory references are to the Act. Purpose of Fee • Identify the purpose of the fee (§66001(a)(1) of the Act). The fire/life safety facilities fee is designed to ensure that new development will not burden the existing service population with the cost of fire/life safety facilities required to accommodate growth. The purpose of the fees documented in this chapter is to provide a funding source from new development for capital improvements to serve that development. The fees advance a legitimate City interest by enabling the City to provide fire/life safety facilities to serve new development. Use of Fee Revenues • Identify the use to which the fees will be put. If the use is financing facilities, the facilities 30 WILLDAN City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study shall be identified. That identification may, but need not, be made by reference to a capital improvement plan as specified in §65403 or §66002, may be made in applicable general or specific plan requirements, or may be made in other public documents that identify the facilities for which the fees are charged (§66001(a)(2) of the Act). Fire/life safety facilities fees, if enacted by the City, would be used to fund expanded fire/life safety facilities needed to serve new development citywide. Facilities funded by these fees are designated to be located within the City limits. A list of planned fire/life safety projects is included in Table 5.3. Benefit Relationship • Determine the reasonable relationship between the fees' use and the type of development project on which the fees are imposed (§66001(a)(3) of the Act). The City will restrict fee revenue to the acquisition of land, construction of facilities and buildings, and purchase of related equipment, furnishings, vehicles, and services used to serve new development. Facilities funded by the fees are expected to provide a citywide network of facilities accessible to the residents and workers associated with new development, who represent the demand for fire/life safety facilities. Using the system plan cost allocation methodology outlined in Chapter 1, and the cost per capita standard calculated in Table 5.5, the resulting fees ensure that new development will only fund its fair share of improvements at a level of service that is lower than the existing level of service. Thus, a reasonable relationship can be shown between the use of fee revenue and the new development residential and non-residential use classifications that will pay the fees. Burden Relationship • Determine the reasonable relationship between the need for the public facilities and the types of development on which the fees are imposed (§66001(a)(4) of the Act). New residential and nonresidential development will generate additional population growth. An increase in residents and workers will increase the demand for fire/life safety facilities. Facilities need is based on a facility standard that represents the demand generated by new development for those facilities. For the fire/life safety facilities fee, demand is measured by a single facility standard (cost per capita) that can be applied to residential development to ensure a reasonable relationship to the type of development. The service population standards are calculated based upon the number of residents associated with residential development and the number of workers associated with non-residential development. To calculate a single, per capita standard, one worker is weighted less than one resident based on an analysis of the relative use demand between residential and non-residential development. See the Service Population section above for a discussion of the worker weighting factor. The standard used to allocate facilities costs to new development is also used to determine if planned facilities will partially serve the existing service population by correcting existing deficiencies. This approach ensures that new development will only be responsible for its fair share of planned facilities, and that the fees will not unfairly burden new development with the cost of facilities associated with serving the existing service population. Proportionality • Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fees amount and the cost of the facilities or portion of the facilities attributable to the development on which the fee is imposed (§66001(b) of the Act). The reasonable relationship between each facilities fee for a specific new development project and the cost of the facilities attributable to that project is based on the estimated residential and nonresidential population growth the project will accommodate. Fees for a specific project are based on the project's size. Larger development projects can result in a higher service population 31 W I LLDAN City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study resulting in higher fee revenue than smaller projects in the same land use classification. Thus, the fees ensure a reasonable relationship between a specific new development project and the cost of the facilities attributable to that project. See Table 2.2 for the occupancy density assumptions that drive the proportionality of the fees between the land uses included in this study. 32 �W I LLDAN 6. Water Capacity This chapter documents a reasonable relationship between new development and a water capacity charge to fund water facilities that serve new development. It uses a buy -in approach to allocate the cost of excess capacity in the system to new development. While the City generally has sufficient water capacity to accommodate new development, additional site -specific water facilities improvements may be required as a condition of approval for a development project. Water Demand Estimates of new development and its consequent increased water demand provide the basis for calculating the water facilities fee. The need for water facilities improvements is based on the water demand placed on the system by development. A typical measure of demand is the flow generation rate, expressed as the number of gallons per day generated by a specific type of land use. Flow generation rates are a reasonable measure of demand for the City's system of water improvements because they represent the average rate of demand that will be placed on the system per land use designation. Table 6.1 shows the average flow generation factors by land use category identified in the City's water master plan.

Current Water System Asset Valuation In this case, Replacement New Cost Less Depreciation (RCNLD) is the appropriate method to determine the current value of the water systems. RCNLD is a commonly used method, and it is often preferred to alternative methods such as Original Cost Less Depreciation (OCLD), Original Cost (OC), and Replacement Cost (RC) because of its better reflection of the system's value in today's dollars. Unless the systems have depreciated significantly due to lack of replacement and repair, RCNLD is more defensible because the replacement cost is inflation -adjusted to recover the cost of replacing that capacity in current dollars. RCNLD also accounts for depreciation and consequently addresses the fact that the system reflects its current condition. 33 �W I LLDAN City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study The City provided original cost records for the fixed assets of the utility systems as of 2023. Original costs were adjusted to replacement cost new using the Construction Cost Index (CCI). Replacement cost new is the estimated expected cost of a similar facility constructed today. The CCI is based on an average of costs among 20 cities and is published by Engineering News - Record (ENR). Accumulated depreciation was calculated based on the replacement cost of each asset, the year it went in service and estimates of the useful life of that asset.

Fee per Gallon per Day Every impact fee consists of a dollar amount, representing the value of facilities, divided by a measure of demand. In this case, buy -in fees are first calculated as the adjusted system value per gallon per day (GPD). Then these amounts are translated into fees per housing unit (fee per unit) and employment space (fee per 1,000 square feet) by multiplying the cost per GPD by the flow generation rate for each land use category. These amounts become the fee schedule. The calculation of the buy -in fee per GPD for water facilities is shown in Table 6.3. The City provided the sewer system's flow capacity, which is 50.8 million gallons per day. City staff confirmed that the water system has sufficient capacity to accommodate new development within the planning horizon. The adjusted system value divided by the total capacity of the system yields the facilities impact fee per gallon per day of $6.66 for water facilities.

Fee per Gallon per Day Every impact fee consists of a dollar amount, representing the value of facilities, divided by a measure of demand. In this case, buy -in fees are first calculated as the adjusted system value per gallon per day (GPD). Then these amounts are translated into fees per housing unit (fee per unit) and employment space (fee per 1,000 square feet) by multiplying the cost per GPD by the flow generation rate for each land use category.

AB 602 Requirements On January 1, 2022, new requirements went into effect for California jurisdictions implementing impact fees. Among other changes, AB 602 added Section 66016.5 to the Government Code, which set guidelines for impact fee nexus studies. Four key requirements from that section which concern the nexus study are reproduced here: ■ 66016.5. (a) (2) When applicable, the nexus study shall identify the existing level of service for each public facility, identify the proposed new level of service, and include an explanation of why the new level of service is appropriate. ■ 66016.5. (a) (4) If a nexus study supports the increase of an existing fee, the local agency shall review the assumptions of the nexus study supporting the original fee and evaluate the amount of fees collected under the original fee. ■ 66016.5. (a) (5) A nexus study adopted after July 1, 2022, shall calculate a fee imposed on a housing development project proportionately to the square footage of proposed units of the development. A local agency that imposes a fee proportionately to the square footage of the proposed units of the development shall be deemed to have used a valid method to establish a reasonable relationship between the fee charged and the burden posed by the development. ■ 66016.5. (a) (6) Large jurisdictions shall adopt a capital improvement plan as a part of the nexus study. Compliance with AB 602 The following sections describe this study's compliance with the new requirements of AB 602. 66016.5. (a) (2) - Level of Service For fees calculated under the buy -in methodology, the fees are calculated such that new development funds facilities at the existing level of service. Fees calculated using the planned facilities standard represent a lower level of service than currently exists. For fees calculated using the system plan methodology, the fees were calculated such that new development would fund its fair share of an increased level of service. This is contingent on existing development funding its share of the higher level of service through any funding source other than impact fees. All fees in this analysis use one of these approaches. The existing level service in terms of the existing facility cost per capita, or cost per gallon per day is shown in each corresponding chapter. 66016.5. (a) (4) — Review of Original Fee Assumptions This is the first impact fee study conducted by the City of Newport Beach, so there are no original fee assumptions to review. 6016.5. (a) (5) — Residential Fees per Square Foot Impact fees for residential land uses are calculated per square foot for all fee categories and comply with AB 602. 66016.5. (a) (6) — Capital Improvement Plan A description of the planned facilities that the City could fund with impact fee revenue is included in each chapter in this report. Adoption of this nexus study would approve the planned facilities identified herein as the Capital Improvement Plan for this nexus study. The City will select which 39 'W I LLDAN City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study particular projects fund with existing impact fee fund balances and projected fee revenue annually through its budgeting and CIP process. 40 W I LLDAN FINANCIAL SERVICES 9. Implementation Impact Fee Program Adoption Process Impact fee program adoption procedures are found in the California Government Code section 66016. Adoption of an impact fee program requires the City Council to follow certain procedures including holding a public hearing. Data, such as an impact fee report, must be made available at least 10 days prior to the public hearing. The City's legal counsel should be consulted for any other procedural requirements as well as advice regarding adoption of an enabling ordinance and/or a resolution. After adoption there is a mandatory 60-day waiting period before the fees go into effect. The City can keep its impact fee program up to date by periodically adjusting the fees for inflation. Such adjustments should be completed regularly to ensure that new development will fully fund its share of needed facilities. We recommend that the CCCI be used for adjusting fees for inflation. The CCCI is based on data from ENR and is aggregated and made available for free by the State of California. The fee amounts can be adjusted based on the change in the index compared to the index in the base year of this study (2024). While fee updates using inflation indices are appropriate for periodic updates to ensure that fee revenues keep up with increases in the costs of public facilities, the City will also need to conduct more extensive updates of the fee documentation and calculation (such as this study) when significant new data on growth forecasts and/or facility plans become available. Note that decreases in index value will result in decreases to fee amounts. The City will comply with the annual and five-year reporting requirements of the Mitigation Fee Act. For facilities to be funded by a combination of public fees and other revenues, identification of the source and amount of these non -fee revenues is essential. Identification of the timing of receipt of other revenues to fund the facilities is also important. There is no time limit by which impact fee revenue must be spent. However, if the City is accruing impact fee revenue to fund new development's share of a project, then it must make certain findings with respect to unexpended impact fee fund balances after five years. Among other requirements, the five-year report requires the City to "Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing in incomplete improvements," and to "Designate the approximate dates on which supplemental funding is expected to be deposited into the appropriate account or fund."1 On October 13, 2023 AB 516 was signed into law by the Governor of California, and went into effect on January 1, 2024. The bill requires local agencies to: • Include information on projects noted in prior reports and whether construction began on the approximate date noted in the previous report. 1 California Government Code § 66001(d). 41 Vvl`W 1 LLDAN NANCIAL SERVICES City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study • Explain the reason for any delay in the start of the project and provide a new approximate date construction will begin. • Identify the number of people or entities that receive refunds of Mitigation Fee Act fees. The bill also requires local agencies to inform people paying mitigation fees that they: • Can request an audit to determine if the fees charged by a local agency are more than the amount of money needed to cover the cost of the public improvements. • Can receive information by mail about when the local agency will meet to review its annual Mitigation Fee Act report. • Can access and review mitigation fee information on the local agency's website, and how to do so.

WILLDAN F a s—i— City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Programming Revenues and Projects with the CIP The City maintains a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to plan for future infrastructure needs. The CIP identifies costs and phasing for specific capital projects. The use of a CIP in this manner documents a reasonable relationship between new development and the use of those revenues. The City may decide to alter the scope of the planned projects or to substitute new projects if those new projects continue to represent an expansion of the City's facilities and provide benefit to new development. If the total cost of facilities varies from the total cost used as a basis for the fees, the City should consider revising the fees accordingly. 44 W 1 LLDAN Appendix Appendix Table A.1: Marine Vessel Inventory Tota I Replacement Tvne Count Unit Cost Cost Recreation Vessels RS Venture 2 $ 42,390 $ 84,780 RS Quest 12 102,420 1,229,040 WD Schock Lido 14 3 98,800 296,400 Waterline J22 6 120,000 720,000 Zodiak Pro Classic 420 2 43,026 86,052 Single Ocean Kayak 8 3,144 25,152 Doubel Ocean Kayak 16 9,472 151,552 Subtotal 49 $ 2,592,976 Harbor Vessels Boston Whaler, 19' 1 $200,000 $ 200,000 Chislett, 21' 2 175,000 350,000 Subtotal 3 $ 550,000 Total 52 $ 3,142, 976 Source: City of Newport Beach. 45 vv W I LLDAN City of Newport Beach Development Impact Fee Nexus Study Appendix Table A.2: Police Vehicle and Equipment Inventory REPLACEMENT UNIT #

All fees are assessed per square foot. 2. The fees shall be adjusted annually for inflation based on the California Construction Cost Index ("CCCI") one year after the effective date of Resolution No. 2024- . The fees shall be paid prior to issuance of any certificate of occupancy with the total amount owed adjusted for inflation as provided by state law. 3. If a development project will be constructed in phases, and separate building permits and certificates of occupancy will be issued for each phase, the fees shall be calculated based on the development characteristics of the entire development project. Payment of the fees may be made separately for each phase, provided the amount paid for each phase shall be in proportion that each phase represents of the total development project. The amount owed for each phase shall be adjusted for inflation as of the date of payment of the fees for that phase. 4. For nonresidential development projects, the fees shall be assessed based on the gross floor area (including all ancillary spaces and rooms such as basements, storage rooms, mechanical rooms, and similar areas) of the development pursuant to Chapter 20.70 (Definitions) of the NBMC. The fees shall apply to new construction of nonresidential development projects and additions to existing buildings. In the case of an addition, the fees shall apply to the net increase in floor area (credit shall be given for the existing use). 5. For residential development projects, the fees shall be assessed based on the gross floor area (including all ancillary spaces and rooms such as gyms, clubhouses, lobbies, leasing offices and similar areas) of the development pursuant to Chapter 20.70 (Definitions) of the NBMC. The fees shall apply to the following types of residential development: a.
