DESCRIPTION: From 1988 to 1997, the City of Dublin was provided fire service by the
Dougherty Regional Fire Authority (DRF A). During that period, DRF A collected fire facility fees to pay
for the costs of new equipment and facilities to serve new dcvelopment. In 1997, DRFA ceased providing
fire scrviecs to the cities of Dublin and San Ramon, and the City of Dublin cntercd into a contractual
relationship with the Alameda County Fire District (ACFD) to provide fire and emergency response
systems throughout the community and adopted its own Fire Facility Fee. As the responsible party for the
provision of .fire service, the City of Dublin must maintain the existing fire stations and equipment, as well
as plan for new stations and equipment.
The City of Dublin currently maintains three (3) firc stations: Station 16 at 7494 Donahue, Station 17 at
the southwest comer of Broder and Madigan, and Station 18 on Fallon Road. ACFD is contractually
obligated to maintain a five-minute response time to the existing dcvcloped areas throughout Dublin, and
there are no current deficiencics in cither fire facilities or apparatus required to serve the existing
population of Dublin.
It is anticipated that there will be significant residential and non-residential growth in Dublin through the
build-out of the community. Due to the level and intensity of growth, additional fire facilities and
equipment have been required to serve the ncw growth while maintaining the service levels currently
provided to both Dublin busincsses and residents. Given the fact that new facilitics and equipment have
been necessitated and built/purchased to meet the needs of new development, it is appropriate to impose a
fire facilities fee on new developmcnt to fairly allocate the costs ofthe new facilities and cquipment.
The underlying legal authority to impose and charge fire facilities fee can be found in both the California
Govermnent Code Section 66001 et seq. (AB 1600) and the Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 7.78. AB
1600 governs the way public agcncics can impose and administer development impact fees (such as fire
facility fees), and Chapter 7.78 of the Dublin Municipal Code establishes the authority to impose and
charge a fee to pay for municipally-owned facilities within the city limits.
To that end, the Dublin City Council established a fire facility fee for future development in the City of
Dublin (Resolution 37-97). The study anticipated the need for two new fire stations (Fire Stations 17 and
18) and rclated apparatus to serve the new development in Dublin through the year 2025. The fee was
subsequently updated in 2000 and 2003. The 1997,2000 and 2003 fccs were as follows;
Residential: 1.'121 2000 2003 2004
Single-Family $512/unit $646/unit $800/uoit $821/unil
Multi-Family $320/lUlit $404/unit $500/unit $513/uoit
Non-Residential:
Commercial $.076/square fool $.095/square foot $.119/square fool $.1 13/square foot
Office $.148/square fool $. 185/square fool $.231/square foot $.219/squarc fOOl
Industrial $.065/square fool $.081/square foot $.102/square fool $.097/square foot
The fee resolution directs StatTto periodically update the Fire Facilities Fee. The City retained the firm of
MuniFinancial this ycar to update the documentation for the City's fire impact fee since the fee's most
recent adoption. The study included an analysis of the costs for the new fire facilities to scrve new
development and the costs of financing thcse improvements through the huild-out of the community_
The study also identified the relationship between the new developmcnt, the needed facilities, and thosc
costs.
~Ðôi
The MuniFinancial Study accounts for the fact that all of the necessary stations and fire apparatus needed
to keep pace with the new development in Dublin through the ycar 2025 have been built or purchascd.
The estimated cost of these capital needs that can be assigned to new development is $9,465,000. The
report allocates these new costs to new development by a formula that assigns the total cost of the
necessary facilities (including any financing costs) to the total service population (residential and
business) at build-out. Thc fee is provided on a per capita basis and converted to a per unit fee for
residential development and a per square foot fee for non-residential development. The proposed new
fces are as follows;
Residential
Single-Family
Multi-Family
$762/unit
$476/unit
Non-Residential
Commcrcial
Office
Industrial
$.1l3/square foot
$.219/square foot
$.097/square foot
The proposed fees represent an approximate 6-8% decrease from the existing fire facility fces due to the
reduction in the final building costs as well as the increase in future population, which has resulted from
the approval of significant infill development in the last two years.
Due to the fact that the City's fire serviee is an interdependent system and all stations have the
responsibility of responding to incidents citywide, the fire facilities fee will apply to all ~ development
in the City of Dublin. Ncw development is defined in the proposed resolution as "the construction of, and
addition to, any building or structure within the City of Dublin." There are certain types of new
development that are exempt from thc fee, including;
1. Any alteration or addition to a residential structuœ unless a new unit is added;
2. Any rcplaecment or reconstruction of any existing residential structure that has been
destroyed or demolished;
3. Any replacement or reconstruction of an existing non-residential structure that has been
destroyed or demolished provided that the square footage of the replacement building does
not exceed the square footage of the building that was destroyed or demolishcd; or
4. Any addition to an existing non-residential structure of 500 square feet or less.
The total cost of facilities associatcdwith growth is based on the facility standard shown in Table 4 ofthc
MuniFinancial Study and represents the maximum amount that can be funded with an impact fee
($9,465,000). The entire cost of the interdependent fire system cannot be assigned directly to new
dcvelopment. Due to the cost ofthe system, a revenue source other than impact fees must be used to pay
for the remaining share of the facility costs. The 2003 Fire Fee program was approved with existing
development's share at $237,000. The 2004 Fire Fee Study update indicates that existing development's
share of the construction of new facilities is $1,099,200. The City previously loaned $2.3 million from the
General Fund to the Fire Fee program to pay for the construction of Station 17. This General Fund loan
amount will be reduced by $862,200 and allocated as an expense to the General Fund to account for
existing development's fair share of the systcm. The proposed budget change of $862,200 will fully
fund existing development's share orthc fire facilities costs.
3rt, q
The fee will go into effect 60 days from thc adoption of the resolution approving thc new fee schedule.
CONCLUSION: Ncw dcvelopment throughout the City of Dublin has generated a need for the new
fire facilities that are subject to the fee study authored by MuniFinancial. It is necessary for thc City to
revise the Fire Facility Fee to providc those facilities to meet the needs generated by the new development
citywide.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council open the public hearing, reccivc
Staff presentation and public comment, closc the public hearing, deliberate and adopt thc resolution
revising the Fire Facilities Fee. Staff further recommends that the City Council approve the budget
change for fiscal year 2003-04 in the amount of $862,200.

FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the City Council finds as follows;
A. The purpose of the Fire Facilities Fee (hereafter "Fee'') is to finance municipal public
facilities to reduec thc impacts caused by future developments in the City of Dublin. Such facilities,
which are specifically described in thc MuniFinancial Study, inelude the following; land acquisition and
construction of two new fire stations, rolling stock and equipment for two new stations, othcr associated
vehicles and equipment, administrative spacc, and improvements to existing facilitics. The public
facilities described in the study are hereinafter referrcd to as the "Facilities."
B. The Fcc collccted pursuant to this resolution shall be used to finance the Facilities_
2
C. After considering the MuniFinancial Study, the testimony received at this noticed ?u"blfR'2..q
hearing, the Agenda statements, the General Plan, the SP, the Station Location Study, the Station
Prototype Study, the Building Code, thc E Dublin ElR and Addenda, the Schaefer EIR, and all
correspondence reccivcd (hcrcaftcr "Record"), the Council approves and adopts said MuniFinancial Study
and incorporatcs such herein; the Council further finds that the future development in the City of Dublin
will generatc the need for the Facilities, and that the Facilities are consistent with the City's General Plan,
thc Station Location Study, and the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan.
D. The adoption of the Fee as it relates to development within Eastern Dublin is within the
scope of the E Dublin ElR and Addenda. The Facilities werc idcntified in the ElR as necessary to
accommodate development in Eastern Dublin. The impacts of such development, including the Facilities,
were adequately analyzed at a Program level in the E Dublin EIR. Since the certification of the E Dublin
EIR there have been no substantial changes in the projections of future development as identified in the E
Dublin EIR, no substantial changcs in thc surrounding circumstanccs, and no other new information of
substantial importancc so as to rcquire important revisions in thc E Dublin ElR's analysis of impacts,
mitigation mcasurcs, and altcrnatives. Subsequent project-spccific environmental review under CEQA of
the Facilitics will be required before any such Facilities are approved. It is not feasible to provide project
specific environmental review of the Facilities at this stage, as they will be implemented over a 30-year
period and specific details as to their timing, construction, and precise location are not presently known.
E. The adoption of the Fee as it relates to development within the area covered by the
Schaefer Project ("Schaefcr Ranch Anncxation Area") is within the scope of the Schaefer ElR. The
Facilities were all identified in the Schaefer EIR as necessary to accommodate dcvclopmcnt in Dublin.
Thc impacts of such development, including the Facilities, were adcquatcly analyzcd at a Project level in
the Schaefer EIR. Since the certification of the Schaefer EIR there have been no substantial changcs in
the proj ections of future development as identified in the Schaefer EIR, no substantial changes in the
surrounding circumstanccs, and no othcr ncw information of substantial importance so as to require
important revisions in the Schaefer EIR's analysis of impacts, mitigation mcasures, and altcrnatives.
Subsequent project-specific environmental review under CEQA of the Facilities will be required before
any such Facilities are approved. It is not feasible to provide project specific environmental review ofthe
Facilities at this stage, as they will be implemented over a 30-year period and specific details as to their
timing, construction and precise location are not presently known.
F. The adoption of the Fee as it relates to developmcnt within the City of Dublin (excluding
Eastern Dublin and the Schaefer Annexation Area) is to obtain funds for capital projects neccssary to
maintain service within the existing service areas; that the City currently provides .fire protection and
suppression services through a contractual relationship with the Alameda County Fire Department, which
operates fÌom three fire stations, that the Fee will be used to maintain current service levels; and that no
existing deficiencics havc bccn found to exist. As such, the Fee as it relates to development within the
City (excluding Eastcrn Dublin and thc Schaefer Ranch Annexation Area) is not a "project" within the
meaning ofCEQA (Public Resources Code § 21080(b)(8)(D».
G. In adopting the Fee, the Council is exercising its powers undcr Artielc Xl, § 7 of the
California Constitution, Chapter 7.78 of the Dublin Municipal Code, and Chapter 5 of Division 1 ofthc
Government Code, commencing with section 66000 (and section 66018, in particular) collectively and
separately.
H. The Record establishes;
1. That thcre is a rcasonable relationship between the need for the Facilities and the
impacts of the types of development for which the corrcsponding fee is charged in that new
development in the City of Dublin (hereafter to include Eastern Dublin and thc Schacfer Ranch
3
Annexation Aroa~both rcsidential and non-residential-will gcncrate pe~s?~s who live, work,(o'f}'P\
and/or shop m Dubhn and who generate or contribute to the need for the FacIlities; and
2. That there is a reasonable relationship between the Fee's use (to pay for the
construction of the Facilities) and the type of development for which the Fee is charged in that all
development in the City of Dublin-both residential and non-residential-generates or contributes
to the need for the Facilities; and
3. That there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the Fee and the cost
of the Facilities or portion thereof attributable to developmcnt in the City of Dublin in that the Fee
is calculated based on the number of residents or employees generated by specific typcs of land
uses, the total amount it will cost to construct the Facilities, and the percentage by which
development within thc City of Dublin contributcs to the need for the Facilities; and
4. That the cost estimates set forth in the MuniFinancial Study are reasonable cost
estimates for constructing the Facilities, and the Fees expected to be generatcd by future
development will not exceed the projected costs of constructing the Facilities; and
5. The method of allocation of the Fee to a particular development bears a fair and
reasonable relationship to each development's burden on, and benefit from, the Facilities to be
funded by the Fee, in that the Fee is calculated based on the number of residents or employees
each particular development will generate.
r. The Study is a detailed analysis of how public services will be affected by dcvclopmcnt in
the City of Dublin, and the public facilities required to accommodate that development.

CITY OF DUBLIN FIRE IMPACT FEE
MuniFinancial was rctained by the City of Dublin to complete an update of the City's
firc facilÜic, impact fee. This report is an update of Fire Facilities Itnpact F" Update,
completed by MuniFinancial in January 2003 and adoptcd by thc City CounciL The
report includes all the final construction co.« tdated to fite facilities wÜhin the City of
Dublin.
Introduction
The City of Dublin contracts with the Alameda County Fire Department for fire
scrvice,. The City is responsible for providing all necessary capital facilitics. Thc City
currently imposes an impact fec of $800 pcr single-family dwelling unit, $500 per multi-
family dwelling unit, $0.231 per square foot for commercial, $0.119 per square foot for
office, and $0.102 per square foot for industrial.
Developmcnt impact fees should be regularly updated to ensure sufficient funding of
facilities to .erve growth. Annual updates typically adjust fees for capital project cost
inflation. More extensive updates incorporate new datoa on growth projections as well.
This report updates the fee for both of these types of assumptions, and recalculates the
fadliry standard to enSllre new development continues to only pay its fair share of total
'y<tem co<ts. The cost of new facilities attributablc to new development ineludes
financing costs associated with a gencral fund loan to be repaid by impact fee revenue
and all final construction costs.
Fire Facilities Service Population
The City setvcs both homes and businesses in its service area. Need for the City's
service, and associated facilities is measured by its ,crvice population, or the number of
tesidents and workers within its service area. Service population reasonably represents
the need for fire facilities because people requesting medical assistance generate most
calls for service, rather than structure fires requiring suppression. Hence, the demand
for fire service is <trongly correlated with the distribution of residents and workers
within the service area.
Table 1 shows the estimated service poptùation for 2004 and 2025. In calculating the
service population, re.idents are given a weight of 1.0 and workers arc weighted at 0.24
to reflect lower per capita service usage_ The 0.24 weighring for workers is based on the
amount of time workers spend in the City compared to residents. Nonresidential
buildings are typically occupied less intensively than dwelling units, so .it is reasonable to
assume that average per-worker usage of services is less than average pLt~resident usage.

Existin and Planned Fire Facilities
The inventory of fire facilities ptoyjdes a basis fot calculating the City's facility standard
based on the tota] system needed to serve existing and new development. This standatd
is used to determine new development's fair share obligation to expand facilities as
growth occurs. The planrung horizon is 2025 that represents substantia] build out of the
City of Dublin. The facilities described here serve only the City of Dublin.
The Alameda County Fite Department currendy serves the City of Dublin from three
fire stations. Construction of Stations 17 and 18 was recently completed. The City owns
Station 16, 17, and 18 and the associated equipment. All stations arc staffed entirely by
Alameda County Fire Department personncl.
Detailcd data on the Department's master facilities to serve existing and new
development are shown in Tables 2 and 3. Vehicle cost estimates shown in Table 2
include the fire fighting and emetgency medica] equipment needed to swçk each vehicle.
Table 3 summarizes the Department's inventory of land, buildings, and vehicles and
cquipment as well as new facilities that have been çonStructed. The Genera] Fund and
developer will be reimbursed ftom future fee revenue for the cost of the planned
facilities.
The faeilities summatized in these tables are designed to prevent a decline in current
setvke standard, as discussed in the next section of this repmt.

Fire Facilities Standards
The fite faciHties standatds used for planning new facilities and to caklùate the impact
fee are discussed Ü, this section.
Response Time
Planning for new fitc faciHties typically useS a response time grandard or the time from
serviee call t() arrival of the first-response team. The Alameda County Fire Department
has a five-minute average response time standard. The Department currently considers
that it meets that standard on a citywide basis with an average tesponse time of five
minutes ()t Ie". The planned fire facilities will enable the Department to maintain this
response time standard as growth oeeuts.
ISO Rating
The Insurance Services Organization (ISO) in the form of a rating provides another
standard used for planning fite faciHties. The insutance industry uSe' ISO ratings to
assist in detetmining insurance premiums for building owners. The ISO rating is based
on travel distance (not travel time) to the nearest fire station, and other factors such as
water availability and communications systems_ Any deterioration in the ISO rating
would have an adverse affect on property insurance rates in the City.
Currently the Alameda County Pite Department, the agency that opetates the fire
stations serving the City of Dublin, has an ISO tating of Class 2. The Department's
plans for new facilities are intended to maintain that rating as growth occurs.
System Costs Per Capita
The impact fee is based on a system cost standard. The system cost standard
incorporates all existing and new development and public facilities designed to serve that
development. The standard eguals the average per capita cost of all facilities t<> serve the
Ciry's service population in 2025. Using this per capita standard as a basis for the impact
fee ensures an equitable distribution of total system costs between existing and new
development.
The City's public facilities system standard is shown in Table 4. The facility standatd
before financing costs is the total system facility cost from Table 3 divided by the total
service population ft()m Table 1. Financing fot Station 17 waS needed with a loan from
the Ciry's Genetal Fund to ensure that it was operational in time to serve new
development while maintaining the Fire Department's response time standatd. For this
te.,on, and because Table 3 did not include financing costs for existing stations, these
costs are allocated solely to new development. 'The per capita cost standard is shown
separately for rcsídcnt~ and workers bc:caut'ic their respective demand for services .is
weighted differently, as discussed above in the "Fire Facilities Service Population"
section of this report.

Fire Facilities to Accommodate New Develo. ment
The allocation of system w$tS to new development within the City is shown in Table 5.
The total cost of faÓlitic$ associated with growth is based on the facility standards shown
in Tablc, 4, and represents the maximum amount that could be fund cd with an impact
fee.
The importance of Table 5 is the bottom line that shows the share of planned faÓlity
costs that mU5t come from revenue sources other than ,impact fees imposed within the
City. The City loaned $2.3 million from the General Fund to pay for the construction of
Station 17_ Thb General Fund loan amount was reduced $1,099,200, as ,h"wn in Table
5, to $1.2 million to account for cxbring dcvelopments fair share of the sysrem.

Alternative Fundin Sources
The City plan. to u,e impact fee rcyenue. to reimburse the City and the devel<>pet for
Station 17 and 18, including land, buildings, and vehicles and equipment. The City does
not anticipate any alternative funding sources being available for fire facllitie._
Fee Schedule
The City i. enabling developers to build fire facilities and dedicate them to the City. In
this case the City will grant a credit against the fire impact fee up to the cost of the
facilities dedicated. The eredit will he fat only that portion of the fee that otherwise
would fund those dedicated facilities (Jand, building., or vehicle. and equipment). Thus,
if the dedicated facilitie, only inelude buildings, then the credit will only be for that
portion of the fee needed to ftUld buildings. To enable the City to calculate the credit,
Table 6 shows the percent of the impact fee attributable to land, buildings, and
equipment. This percentage is applied to the fee in Table 7.

Pro. ram 1m .Iementation
The fire facilities impact fee would be collected at time of building permit issuance. To
implemcnt thc fcc thc City should:
· Maintain an annual Capital Improvement Program budget to indicate where
fees arc being expended to accommodate growth;
. Comply with the annual and five-year reporting requirements of Government
Cod, 66001 and 66006; and
Miti. ation Fee Act Findin. s
To guide the widespread impo.;tion of development impact fees, the State Legislature
adopted the Mitigation Fee Act (the Ac~ with Assembly Bill 1600 in 1988 and subsequent
amendments. The Act is contained in California Government Cod, Section 66000 et "q. and
establishes requirements for the imposition and administration of impact fee programs.
The Act became law in January 1988 and requires local governments to document the
five findings explained in the secdons below when adopting an impact fee. All statutory
references are to the Act.
Purpose of Fee
For the first finding the City must:
Identify the putpose of the fee. (§66001(a)(I)

The purpose of the fire facilities impact fee is to provide a funding source from new
development for capital improvements to serve new development_ The fee advance, a
legitimate interest of the City by assuring that ncw devclopment is provided with
adequate fire protection fadlitie~ and $t:rvicc:s.
Use of Fee Revenues
For the second f11lding the City must:
Identify the use to which the fee is to he put. If the use is financing public
facilities, the facilities shall be identified. That identification may, but need not,
be made by reference to a capital improvement plao as specified in Section 65403
or 66002, may be made in applicahle general or specific plan requirements, or
may be made in other public documents thar identify the public facilities for
which the fee is chaíged. (§66001 (a) (2))
The fire facilities impact fee will fund expanded facilities to serve new development. All
planned faciBcics arc located within the City of Dublin boundaries and are idemified in
thi, report:
· T ,and for fire Station and other related structures;
· Fire stations including furniture and other equipment;
· Fire apparatus including equipped engines and other vehicles;
· Financing costs assodated with the above.
Benefit Relationship
For the third finding the City must:
Determine how there is a reasonable relationship hetween the fee's use and the
type of devclopment pwject on which the fee is imposed. (§66001 (a) (3»)
The City will restrict fee revenueS to the acquisition of land, construction of pubHe
huildings, and purchase of rdated equipment, furnishings, vehicles, and services that
serve new devdopmem. Fire facilities funded hy the fee will provide a citywide network
of services accessihle to the additional residents and workers associated whh new
development. Thus, there is a reasonable relationship between the use of fee revenues
and the residential and nonresidential types of new development that will pay the fee.
Burden Relationship
For the fourth finding the Ciry m,,'t:
Determine how there is a reasonable relationship hetween the need for the
public facility and rhe type of devc\opment pmjecr on which the fee is imposed_
(§66001(a)(4))

Service population provides an indieator of the demand for the facilities needed to
accommodate growrh. Service population is calculated based on residents associated
with residential develc.>pment and employmenr associared with nonresidential
development. To calculate a &Ingle per capita standard, one worker is weighted less than
one resident based on an analysis of the relative demand for fire tàcilities by land use
type.
The need for the fee is based on the facility standards identified in this report and the
growth in citywide service popularion projected through 2025. Facilicies standards
represent rhe level of service that the City plans to provide irs residents and businesses in
2025. Standard, are based on the City's tot""l existing and planned facilities allocated
across the City's total service population in 2025.
See the Hie Facilities Service Poptdation section, for a description of how service population
and growth projeecions are calculated. Facility standards are described in the .Fire
.Faciliti" Standardr ,ection.
Proportionality
For the fifth finding the City must:
Determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee
and the cost of the public facility or portion of the public facility attributable to
the development on which the fee is imposed. (§66001 (b)
This reasonable relationship between the fire facility impact fee for a specific
development project and tho cost of tho facilities attributable to that pwject is based on
the estimated ,ize of the service population that the project will accommodate. The total
fee for a specific project is based on its size as measured by dwelling units or building
square feet. The fee schedule converts the esrimated service population that a
development project will accommodate into a fee based on the si~e of the project.
Larger projects of a certain land use type will have a higher service population and pay a
higher fcc than smaller projeçt, of the ..me land use type. Thus, the fee schedule
ensures a reasonable relationship between the public facility fee for a specific
development project and the cost of the facilities attributable to that project.
See the Fee Schedule section for a description of how service population is determined fOT
different types of land uses. The.Fee S ch,dllk section also presents the fire facilities
impact foe schedule.
