FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Fees collected are used to finance public facilities and improvements
needed to reduce the impacts caused by development in Dublin. The
Public Facilities Fee (PFF) was last revised in November, 2002, the
Fire Facilities Fee (FFF) was last revised in February, 2003 and the
Downtown Traffic Impact Fee (DTIF) was adopted in October,
2004. All three fees need to be updated to reflect the City's most
recent estimates regarding the impact of second units, which are
currently charged the same fee as single-family units for the PFF and
the FFF, and the same fee as other developments with the same
property density designation in the City of Dublin General Plan for
the DTIF.
DESCRIPTION: The Public Facilities Fee (PFF) was originally established in March
1996 and was revised in April 1999 and November 2002. The Fire Facilities Fee (FFF) was originally
established in April 1997 and was revised in December 2000 and February 2003. The Downtown Traffic
Impact Fee (DTIF) was originally established in October 2004. The Ordinance amending the Eastern
Dublin Traffic Impact Fee, which was introduced by the City Council at its meeting on April 7, 2009,
established a new definition and fee category for second units. Staff therefore recommends that the PFF,
FFF and DTIF be updated to reflect this new category.
Page 2 1)'~
Proposed Rates:
The proposed PFF fee for second units is: $14,851 for second units in Eastern Dublin, $14,547 for second
units in the Schaefer Ranch area of Western Dublin, and $10,509 for second units elsewhere in the City.
The proposed FFF fee for second units is $~44. The proposed DTIF fee for second units is $1104.
Public Facilities Fee
The purpose of the PFF is to finance municipal public facilities to reduce the impacts caused by firture
development in the City. Such facilities include acquisition and construction of neighborhood and
community parks and community buildings. The PFF is imposed on both residential and non-residential
development throughout the City, though the actual amount of the PFF varies depending on the location of
the development. For residential development the PFF fee study, conducted in 2002, determined the total
cost of constructing these facilities per new resident. The study also determined the average occupancy
rates for single family residences and multi family residences. The amount of the fee is then determined
by multiplying the per resident facilities cost by the average occupancy rates of these two residence types.
A single family residence is estimated to have 3.2 occupants, while amulti-family residence is estimated
to have 2 occupants. The current definitions of "multiple family" and "single family" residences are based
on the land use density designation included in the City of Dublin General Plan. Thus, a person
constructing a second unit attached to a single family residence would be required to pay the same fee as
he or she would for a second single family residence.
Because second units can be no larger than 1,000 square feet (Dublin Municipal Code, Chapter 8.80), the
Community Development Director estimates that the number of occupants of a second unit will be similar
to the number of occupants for amulti-family residence. Thus, staff recommends amending the resolution
establishing the PFF to create a new "second unit'' residential category for the purposes of assessing the
PFF, and establishing the amount of the fee to be imposed on such second units at the same amount
imposed on multi-family units.
The Community Development Director estimates that approximately 50 second units could be constructed
within eastern Dublin, approximately 10 second units could be constructed in Schaefer Ranch, and
approximately 10 second units could be constructed in the Downtown Dublin area, for a total of 70 second
units. Since the second units are estimated to have two occupants each, this category would be required to
account for the impact on the City's public facilities of 140 new residents. Depending on the facility type
in question, and upon the region of the City requiring new facilities, the 2002 PFF fee study anticipated a
service population build-out rg owth of about 34,360 residents citywide. Because 140 residents represents
only 0.00407% of the total anticipated increase in residents, the impact of adding the second units as a
separate category is de minimis, and does not trigger the need for new facilities nor a need to recalculate
the amountof the PFF for all categories of residential uses as a result of this amendment.
Fire Facilities Fee
The purpose of the FFF is to finance the construction and purchase of the additional fire facilities and
equipment that are required to serve new growth in the City while maintaining the service levels currently
provided to both Dublin businesses and residents. Besides the fact that the amount of money needed to
provide fire facilities and equipment is different, the FFF fee is calculated in the same manner as the PFF,
and the definitions of single family and multi-family residences is likewise the same.
Page 3 ~ ~j
Because second units can be no larger than 1,000 square feet (Dublin Municipal Code, Chapter 8.80), the
Community Development Director estimates that the number of occupants of a second unit will be similar
to the number of occupants for amulti-family residence. Thus, staff recommends amending the resolution
establishing the FFF to create a new ``second unit" residential category for the purposes of assessing the
FFF, and establishing the amount of the fee to be imposed on such second units at the same amount
imposed on multi-family units.
As noted above, the Community Development Director estimates that approximately 70 second units
could be constructed within Dublin. Since the second units are estimated to have two occupants each, this
category would be required to account for the impact on the City's public facilities of 140 new residents.
The 2003 FFF fee study anticipated a residential service population build-out rg owth of about 31,600
residents citywide. Because 140 residents represents only 0.00443% of the total anticipated increase in
residents, the impact of adding the second units as a separate category is de minimis, and does not trigger
the need for new fire facilities, nor does it require a recalculation of the amount of the FFF for all
categories of residential uses as a result of this amendment.
For the reasons described above, staff recommends amending the resolution establishing the FFF to create
a new "second unit" residential category for the purposes of assessing the FFF, and establishing the
amount of the fee to be imposed on such second units at the same amount imposed on multi-family units.
Downtown Traffic Impact Fee
The DTIF was established to finance roadway and other improvements needed to accommodate
anticipated traffic increases due to growth in the Downtown Area. The fee is applied to new development
in all areas west of Dougherty Road and the Iron Horse Trail. As with the other two fees discussed above,
the DTIF fee was established by first determining the total costs of the improvements that will be required
with new development in the Downtown Area. This cost is then used to determine the cost attributable to
each weekly trip generated by new development. The fee study establishing the DTIF identified the
average weekday trip generation of particular land use types, based on the land designation included in the
General Plan and Village Parkway, Downtown Core and West Dublin BART Specific Plans. For
residential land uses, the designations were broken down into "low density dwelling unit,'' `'medium
density dwelling unit," "medium/high density dwelling unit" and "high density dwelling unit."
Because second units can be no larger than 1,000 square feet (Dublin Municipal Code, Chapter 8.80), the
Public Works Department estimates that the number of vehicle trips per day will be similar to the trips
generated from high density dwelling units on property designated for over 25 units per acre, or six trips
per day per unit. For this reason, staff recommends amending the resolution establishing the DTIF to
create a new "second unit" residential category for the purposes of assessing the DTIF and establishing the
amount of the fee to be imposed on such second units at the same amount imposed on multi-family units.
As noted above, the Community Development Director estimates that approximately 10 second units
could be constructed in Schaefer Ranch, which is encompassed by the DTIF, as well as 10 second units in
Downtown Dublin, for a total of 20 anticipated second units. Since the second units are estimated to
generate six trips each, this category would be required to account for the impact on the City's traffic
infrastructure of 120 additional weekday trips. The 2004 DTIF fee study estimated that, based on current
land use projections for build out conditions in downtown Dublin, development in the area would result in
an increase of 38,885 daily trips. Because 120 trips represents only 0.00309% of the total anticipated
weekday trips, the impact of adding the second units as a separate category is cue minimis, and does not
Page 4 ~ (~
trigger the need for new traffic infrastructure or a recalculation of the amount of the DTIF for all
categories of residential uses as a result of this amendment.
New Fee Schedule Exhibits
The original resolutions establishing the PFF, FFF and DTIF each contain provisions for automatic,
annual adjustments of the fees. Each of the proposed resolutions before the City Council includes a
provision replacing the fee schedule exhibits contained in the original resolutions with a new schedule that
includes the fee amount for second units. The exhibits are otherwise the same as the original exhibits,
except that the amounts of the fees in these exhibits have been adjusted reflect the current costs of the fees
in light of the most recent automatic adjustment effective on July 1, 2008.
Tri-Valley Transportation Development Fee and 580 Interchange Fee
As a signatory of the Joint Exercise of the Powers Agreement establishing the Tri-Valley Transportation
Development (TVTD) Fee, the City also assesses a TVTD fee. However, this fee may only be revised
upon unanimous agreement of all the parties to the agreement. For this reason, staff is not recommending
amendment of this fee to include second units at this time.
In 1996, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 11-96 establishing a freeway interchange fee for future
development in the Eastern Dublin area. The Interchange Fee was adopted following completion of a
jointly funded study conducted in the 1980's by the City of Dublin and the City of Pleasanton. The
Interchange Fee is intended to apportion responsibility for the funding of freeway interchange
improvements necessitated by new development in both Dublin and Pleasanton. The fee was not effective
until the two cities entered into a separate agreement for the collection and disbursement of the fee
revenue. That agreement, dated October 20, 1998, establishes the amount of the fee and all other aspects
of the fee. Accordingly, staff is not recommending amendment of this fee to include second units at this
time.
Environmental Analysis
These amendments to the PFF, FFF and DTIF as they relate to development within the City of Dublin
would simply modify fees intended to obtain funds for capital projects necessary to maintain services
within existing services areas. As such, these Resolutions are not "projects" within the meaning of CEQA
(Public Resource Code section 21080(b)(8)(D)).
Conclusion
In accordance with Government Code Sections 66016 and 66017, notice of this public hearing was mailed
to those requesting such notice 14 days before this public hearing. Also in accordance with Government
Code Sections 66016 and 66017, the Attachments to this Staff Report and the Background Documents
(listed on page 1 of this Report) were made available for public review 10 days prior to this public
hearing.
The revised fees will be effective 60 days following adoption of the Resolutions.

resolutions: 1) Resolution Revising the Public Facilities Fee to Include Second Units As a Separate
Category of Residential Development and Establishing a Fee For Second Units; 2) Resolution Revising
the Fire Facilities Impact Fee to Include Second Units As a Separate Category of Residential Development
and Establishing a Fee For Second Units; and 3) Resolution Downtown Traffic Impact Fee to Include
Second Units As a Separate Category of Residential Development and Establishing a Fee For Second

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
RESOLUTION REVISING THE FIRE FACILITIES FEE TO INCLUDE SECOND UNITS AS A
SEPARATE CATEGORY OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND ESTABLISHING A FEE
FOR SECOND UNITS
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Dublin adopted Resolution No. 37-97 establishing a
Fire Facilities Fee, which Resolution was subsequently amended by City Council Resolution Nos. 208-00
and 12-03; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Dublin wishes to revise Resolution No. 12-03 to add
a new definition for second units and to revise the fee schedule for the Fire Facilities Fee; and
WHEREAS, notice of the public hearing was provided as required by law.
WHEREAS, the City Council does find as follows:
A. The purpose of the Fire Facilities Fee (hereafter ``Fee") is to finance municipal public
facilities to reduce the impacts caused by future development in the City. Such facilities include the
following: land acquisition and construction of two new fire stations, rolling stock and equipment for two
new stations, other associated vehicles and equipment, administrative space, and improvements to
existing facilities. Resolution No. 13-03, including all attachments thereto, established the reasoning and
methodology for the imposition of the fee, and is incorporated herein as if set forth in full. The February
4, 2003 City Council Agenda Statement contained the factual basis for the findings included in Resolution
13-03 and is incorporated herein as if set forth in full.
B. The Community Development Director of the City of Dublin estimates that approximately
50 second units could be constructed within Eastern Dublin, approximately 10 second units could be
constructed in Schaefer Ranch in Western Dublin, and approximately 10 second units could be
constructed in the Downtown Dublin area, for a total of 70 second units which would be subject to the
Fee. The Community Development Director of the City of Dublin further estimates that second units will

public facilities of 140 new residents. The 2003 Fee study anticipated a residential. service population
build-out growth of about 31,600 residents citywide. Because 140 residents represents only 0.00443% of
the total anticipated increase in residents, the impact of adding the second units as a separate category is
de minimis, and does not trigger the need for new fire facilities, nor does it require a recalculation of the
amount of the Fee for all categories.
C. The purpose of the Fee is to obtain funds for capital projects necessary to maintain service
within the existing services areas; that the City currently provides fire protection and suppression services
through a contractual relationship with the Alameda County Fire Department, which operates from three
fire stations, two of which are located within the City limits; that the Fee will be used to maintain current
services levels; and that second units are not currently included in the Fee as a separate residential use.
As such, neither the Resolution nor the Fee as it relates to development within the City is a "project"
within the meaning of CEQA (Public Resources Code § 21080(b)(8)(D)).

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
RESOLUTION REVISING THE DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE TO INCLUDE
SECOND UNITS AS A SEPARATE CATEGORY OF RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
ESTABLISHING A FEE FOR SECOND UNITS
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Dublin adopted Resolution No. 210-04 establishing a
Downtown Traffic Impact Fee; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Dublin wishes to revise Resolution No. 210-04 to
add a new definition for second units and to revise the fee schedule for the Downtown Traffic Impact Fee;
and
WHEREAS, notice of the public hearing was provided as required by law.
WHEREAS, the City Council does find as follows:
A. The purpose of the Downtown Traffic Impact Fee (hereafter "Fee") is to finance municipal
public facilities to reduce the impacts caused by future development in the City. Such facilities include
the following: land acquisition and construction of two new fire stations, rolling stock and equipment for
two new stations, other associated vehicles and equipment, administrative space, and improvements to
existing facilities. Resolution No. 13-03, including all attachments thereto, established the reasoning and
methodology for the imposition of the fee, and is incorporated herein as if set forth in full. The February
4, 2003 City Council Agenda Statement contained the factual basis for the findings included in Resolution
13-03 and is incorporated herein as if set forth in full. ;
B. The Community Development Director of the City of Dublin estimates that approximately
10 second units could be constructed in Schaefer Ranch in Western Dublin, and approximately 10 second
units could be constructed in the Downtown Dublin area, for a total of 20 second units which would be
subject to the Fee. The Community Development Director of the City of Dublin further estimates that
second units will generate six weekday trips each; as such, this category would be required to account for
the impact on the City's public facilities of 120 additional weekday trips. residents. The 2004 Fee study
estimated that 38,885 daily trips would be subject to the Fee. Because 120 trips represents only
0.00309% of the total anticipated weekday trips, the impact of adding the second units as a separate
category is de minimis, and does not trigger the need for new traffic infrastructure or a recalculation of the
amount of the Fee for all categories of residential uses as a result of this amendment.
C. The purpose of the Fee is to obtain funds for capital projects necessary to maintain service
within the existing services areas; that the City's transportation system is currently adequate for the
existing level of development in the Downtown Area, based on the General Plan level of service standard;
that the fee is used to maintain acceptable services levels with additional traffic from new development;
and that second units are not currently included in the Fee as a separate residential use.' As such, neither
the Resolution nor the Fee as it relates to development within the City is a "project" within the meaning of

Note: Land uses marked in BOLD will always pay at the individual trip rate as these uses tend to generate
destination trips. Recreation, Restaurant, Financial and Commercial/Retail uses will pay at the individual trip rate if
the site is a stand-alone land use; if the land use is part of a larger shopping center, the appropriate Shopping Center
trip rate will apply. If the land use is part of a general office building (GOB) and is included on the list of GOB uses
(per the Downtown TIF Resolution), then the Standard Commercial Office trip rate will apply.
