BACKGROUND:
The City Council adopted Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 7.78 creating and establishing the authority for
imposing and charging a Public Facilities Fee. The purpose of the Public Facilities Fee is to finance
municipal public facilities to reduce the impacts caused by future developments in the City of Dublin and
in Eastern Dublin. Such facilities include the following: completion of the Civic Center office space;
construction of a new library and expansion of the existing library; relocation and expansion of the
existing senior center; acquisition and construction of neighborhood and community parks and community
buildings (including a community theater, a community center, a recreation center and an aquatic center).
The Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment (GP A) and Specific Plan (SP) were adopted by the City in
1993. The GP A outlines future land uses for approximately 4176 acres within the City's eastern sphere of
influence including approximately 13,906 dwelling units and 9.737 million square feet of commercial,
office, and industrial development. The SP provides more specific detailed goals, policies and action
programs for approximately 3313 acres within the GP A area nearest to the City.
Several Council-approved documents set forth the scope of public facilities necessary to serve new
development. The City adopted the Parks and Recreation Master Plan in July of 1994. It provides
direction for addressing the long-term recreational needs of the City and its changing population through
the next twenty years. The plan envisions a park system at build-out of the City based on a standard of 5
acres of park land per 1000 residents, including both neighborhood and community parks. Additionally,
the master plan calls for the development of the following community facilities: a Community Center;
Recreation Center; Community Theatre; Senior Center; and Aquatic Center.
The Library Planning Task Force Report in April of 1993 recommended expansion of the existing
library and construction of an additional library in Eastern Dublin. A subsequent study done in
September 1998 recommended construction of one 37,000:t s.f. Library on the Civic Center site.
The new library is nearing completion.
The City Council approved the Civic Center Programming Document dated November 1986 that
provides for the ultimate build-out of the Civic Center to accommodate an estimated resident
population of 40,000 in the year 2005.
The City Council approved the Senior Center Feasibility Study dated February 4, 2002 that
compared the feasibility of remodeling the current library for use as a Senior Center versus new
construction. The Council authorized the construction of a new Senior Center and demolition of
the current library building.
The Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment contains a policy that new development pay for
infrastructure necessary to accommodate the development (2.1.4, Implementing Policy C). The Eastern
Dublin Specific Plan contains a similar policy (Policy 10-1, page 151). The Parks and Recreation Master
Plan also contains goals and guiding policies relating to the implementation of funding sources to acquire,
develop, operate and maintain recreational facilities (Goal 5).
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 32-96 on March 26, 1996 establishing a Public Facilities Fee for
development within Dublin and Eastern Dublin. The Public Facilities Fee was based on the Public
Facilities Fee Justification Study prepared by Recht Hausrath & Associates. In 1999, the City Council
adopted Resolution 60-99 revising the Public Facilities Fee to reflect changes since the adoption of
resolution No. 32-96. The revised fee was based on the Public Facilities Fee Study, 1998 Update prepared
by Recht Hausrath & Associates.
UPDATED FEE STUDY:
The public facilities fee resolutions direct Staff to update the Public Facilities Fee periodically.
MuniFinancial prepared a revised report dated October 14, 2002 and entitled Public Facilities Fee Study
Update (Study Update). The purpose of the Study Update was to update cost information based on recent
data for:
2 t( 5
. Parkland acquisition cost per acre;
. Parkland development cost per acre;
. Community building costs;
. Aquatic Center costs;
. Library building costs; and
. Civic Center expansion costs.
The impact fee model used to develop the preVIOUS update by Hausrath Economics Group was
reconstructed to reflect the new information.
Attachment 1 illustrates fees by land use type and area that are currently in effect. Fees for residential
development in Eastern Dublin range from $8,577 for a multi-family unit to $13,722 for a single-family
unit. Non-residential fees range from $1,030 per 1,000 square feet for an industrial use to $2,351 per
1,000 square feet for an office use. Fees for residential development in Western Dublin (limited to the
Schaefer Ranch project) range from $8,433 for a multi-family unit to $13,491 for a single-family unit. In-
fill development pays only the Citywide fees which range from $5,800 for a multi-family unit to $9,279
for a single-family unit. However, in-fill development is also subject to the City's Quimby Act ordinance
for Neighborhood Park requirements.
Attachment 2 illustrates the proposed fees by land use type resulting from the October 2002 update to the
fee study. Fees for residential development in Eastern Dublin range from $10,743 for a multi-family unit
to $17,192 for a single-family unit. Non-residential fees range from $1,262 per 1,000 square feet for an
industrial use to $2,886 per 1,000 square feet for an office use. Fees for residential development in
Western Dublin range from $10,500 for a multi-family unit to $16,802 for a single-family unit. In-fill
development pays only the Citywide fees which range from $7,542 for a multi-family unit to $12,069 fora
single-family unit and is subject to the City's Quimby Act ordinance for Neighborhood Park requirements.
Overall, the Public Facilities Fee has increased by approximately 25-30% for residential development and
by 23% for non-residential development. This is due to the following factors:
1. Since the 1998 fee update, land values have increased by 28% for community parks and by 45% for
neighborhood parks. This is based on an appraisal done by Associated Right-of-Way Services dated
December 2000 and compared to the previous appraisal done in July 1998. Subsequent to the two
appraisals, land values have increased 8% per year for community parks and 6% per year for
neighborhood parks.
2. Improvement costs have increased by 73% for community parks and by 52% for neighborhood parks.
These increases reflect the City's current experience with construction of Emerald Glen and Ted
Fairfield Parks.
3. Community Building costs have increased by 95% from $226 s.f. to $441 ~.f. based on the costs
identified in the recent Senior Center Feasibility Study.
4. The cost of the Aquatic Center has increased by 69% as a result of a revised cost estimate provided by
the City's pool consultant.
5. Library costs have increased by 14% and reflect the actual cost of the library currently under
construction.
6. The cost for the Civic Center has increased by 55%. This is based on the actual cost for the Phase I
renovation/expansion project and the estimated cost for Phase II using the cost factors from Phase I.
Since the Public Facilities Fee was first adopted in 1996, the cost ofland acquisition and park and facility
construction has increased dramatically. The land and improvement cost per acre and the cost per square
foot for building construction that were first used to establish the fee in 1996 were based on the City's
3t(5
previous experience in these areas. Construction costs experienced by the City and developers for such
projects as Ted Fairfield Park, Emerald Glen Park, the Library construction and Civic Center renovation
have proven that the cost factors that the fee is based upon will not cover the cost of acquisition and
construction of facilities in today's construction climate. For example, the improvement cost of Ted
Fairfield Park, which was built by the developer of Dublin Ranch Phase I was $1,410,910. However, the
developer was only given credit for the improvements in the amount of $861,727, which was the amount
of the Neighborhood Park Improvement component of the Public Facilities Fee in effect at the time that
the developer bonded for the park improvements. Although the fee has been updated on an annual basis
over the past three years, the increases have not kept pace with the cost of acquisition and construction.
The largest component of the Public Facilities Fee is the cost to acquire park land, which amounts to
approximately 48% of the fee. For those property owners who have sufficient park land on their property
to dedicate in accordance with the law, the total out of pocket fee paid to the City (excluding dedicated
land) is $8,889 per unit for land designated at 0-6 units per acre, and $5,554 per unit for land designated at
6.1 units and above per acre. However, not all park land can be acquired through dedication. To comply
with City policies described above, the fee must be calculated so that sufficient monies are collected to
purchase the land which cannot be acquired by dedication. The park land component of. the Public
Facilities Fee could be lowered if landowners entered into agreements with the City to guarantee the City
would be able to acquire the park land at lower land values than those used in the Study Update.
FUTURE ADJUSTMENTS:
The City will continue to conduct further study and analysis to determine whether the Fee should be
revised. For example, an update to the Parks and Recreation Master Plan is currently underway.
Depending on the outcome of the Master Plan update, it may be necessary to make revisions to the Fee.
When additional information is available, the City Council shall review the Fee to determine that the
amounts are reasonably related to the impacts of development within the City of Dublin and within
Eastern Dublin. The City will evaluate land values through an appraisal at least every three years.
Since July 1, 2000, the fee has been adjusted automatically based on the formula as described below.
Improvement Costs
The costs of construction of the Facilities identified in the Study Update shall be increased/decreased by
the annual percentage increase/decrease in the Engineering News Record's Construction Cost Index (20-
city average) for the month of April over the same Construction Cost Index for the month of April of the
prior year. For example, ifthe improvement cost for community parks in Year One is $370,200 per acre
and in Year Two the Construction Cost Index is +2.6% more than Year One, that will result in an increase
to $379,825 per acre.
Land Costs
The Land Cost per acre for the Facilities identified in the Study Update shall be increased/decreased
annually by the percentage increase/decrease between the land cost per acre in the most recent land
appraisal (prepared for the City for purposes of adjusting the Fee) over the land cost per acre in the
immediately preceding appraisal (prepared for the City for purposes of adjusting the Fee and using the
same methodology), calculated as an annual increase/decrease. For example, if the appraised land value
in Year One is $10/ acre and in Year Two is $11/ acre, that is an annual increase of 10% which will result
in a yearly increase of 10%.
4~5
The City will continue to use the same formula to adjust the fee on July 1 annually. In Fiscal Year 2003-
2004, it is recommended that a complete a land appraisal be done as it will have been three years since the
last appraisal.
CONCLUSION:
As demonstrated in the Eastern Dublin General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan, the Parks and
Recreation Master Plan, the Public Facilities Fee Study Update, and other related studies, future
development in the City of Dublin and in Eastern Dublin will generate the need for the facilities that are
the subject of the Public Facilities Fee Study Update dated October 14,2002. Provision of these facilities
is critical to the implementation of the goals and policies contained in these documents. If adequate
facilities are not provided to serve the needs generated by new development those new residents will place
a burden on existing Dublin park and recreational facilities.
Adoption of the Public Facilities Fee is consistent with the General Plan and the Eastern Dublin Specific
Plan and will implement those plans. Therefore, Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the
public hearing and adopt the resolution revising the Public Facilities Fee.

and
2
~ ~ ).ff
WHEREAS, the Study Update relies on previous studies and demonstrates the appropriateness of
modifying the Public Facilities Fee in certain respects, primarily (1) to update cost information for
parkland acquisition, (2) to update cost information for parkland development; and (3) to update cost
information for community buildings, such as the aquatic center, library building, and civic center
expansion; and
WHEREAS, the Study Update was available for public inspection and review for ten days prior to
this public hearing; and
FINDINGS
WHEREAS, the City Council finds as follows:
A. The purpose of the Public Facilities Fee (hereafter "Fee") is to finance municipal public
facilities to reduce the impacts caused by future developments in the City of Dublin and in Eastern
Dublin. Such facilities, which are specifically described in the study, include the following: completion
of the Civic Center office space; construction of a new library; relocation and expansion of the existing
senior center; acquisition and construction of neighborhood and community parks and community
buildings (including a community theater, a community center, a recreation center and an aquatic center).
The public facilities described in the study are hereinafter referred to as the "Facilities".
B. The Fees collected pursuant to this resolution shall be used to finance the Facilities.
C. After considering the Study, the Study Update, the testimony received at this noticed public
hearing, the Agenda statements, the General Plan, the Park Master Plans, the Library Reports, the Civic
Center Report, the Senior Center Study, the GP A, the SP, the EIR and Addenda, and all correspondence
received (hereafter "record") the Council approves and adopts the Study Update, and incorporates such
herein, and further finds that the future development in the City of Dublin and in Eastern Dublin will
generate the need for the Facilities and the Facilities are consistent with the City's General Plan, the Park
Master Plans, the Library Reports, the Civic Center Report, the Senior Center Study, the GP A and the
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan.
D. The adoption ofthe Fee as it relates to development within Eastern Dublin is within the
scope of the EIR and Addenda. The Facilities were all identified in the EIR 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 EIR. Since the certification of the EIR there have been no
substantial changes in the projections of future development as identified in the EIR, no substantial
changes in the surrounding circumstances, and no other new information of substantial importance so as
to require important revisions in the EIR's analysis of impacts, mitigation measures, and alternatives.
Subsequent project-specific environmental review under CEQA ofthe 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 at least 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 City of Dublin (excluding
Eastern Dublin) is to obtain funds for capital projects necessary to maintain service within the existing
service areas; that the City currently provides neighborhood and community park services, community and
recreation facilities services, and civic center services; that the City and the Alameda County Library
3
b ~ ;J,ff
System currently provide library services; that the public facilities fee will be used to maintain current
service levels; and that existing deficiency costs are not included in the fee. As such, the Fee as it relates
to development within the City (excluding Eastern Dublin) is not a "project" within the meaning of CEQA
(Public Resources Code S 21080(b)(8)(D)).
F. In adopting the Fee, the Council is exercising its powers under Article XI, section 7 of the
California Constitution.
G. The record establishes:
1. That there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the Facilities and the
impacts of the types of development for which the corresponding fee is charged in that new development
in the City of Dublin and in Eastern Dublin - both residential and non-residentia1- will generate
persons who live, work and/or shop in Dublin and Eastern Dublin 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
constructionofthe Facilities) and the type of development for which the Fee is charged in that all
development in the City of Dublin and in Eastern 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
ofthe Facilities or portion thereof attributable to development in the City of Dublin and in Eastern Dublin
in that the Fee is calculated based on the number of residents or employees generated by specific types of
land uses, the total amount it will cost to construct the Facilities, and the percentage by which
development within the City of Dublin and within Eastern Dublin contributes to the need for the
Facilities; and
4. That the cost estimates set forth in the Study Update, the September 1998 Library
Planning Task Force Report, the Park Master Plans, and the Senior Center Study are reasonable cost
estimates for constructing the Facilities, and the Fees expected to be generated 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, and is roughly proportional 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 ofresidents
or employees each particular development will generate.
H. The Study Update is a detailed analysis of how public services will be affected by
development in the City of Dublin and in Eastern Dublin, the existing deficiencies and the public facilities
required to accommodate that development and those deficiencies.
ADOPTION OF FEE
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Dublin does RESOLVE as follows:
1. Definitions.
4
:7 ~ ,).g
a. "Commercial" shall mean any development constructed or to be constructed on
land having a General Plan land use or zoning designation for facilities for the purchase and sale of
commodities and services and the sales, servicing, installation, and repair of such commodities and
services and other space uses incidental to these activities. Commercial land uses include but are not
limited to: apparel and clothing stores; auto dealers and malls; auto accessories stores; banks and savings
and loans; beauty salons; book stores; discount stores and centers; dry cleaners; drug stores; eating and
drinking establishments; furniture stores and outlets; general merchandise stores; hardware stores; home

identifying the purpose to which the existing Fee balances are to be put and demonstrating a reasonable
relationship between the Fee and the purpose for which it is charged.
9. Subsequent Analysis and Revision ofthe Fee.
The Fee established herein is adopted and implemented by the Council in reliance on the
record identified above. The City will continue to conduct further study and analysis to determine
whether the Fee should be revised. When additional information is available, the City Council shall

the City of Dublin and within Eastern Dublin. The City Council may revise the Fee to incorporate the
findings and conclusions of further studies and any standards in the GP A, SP, Park Master Plans, Library
Reports, Civic Center Report, Senior Center Study and General Plan, as well as increases due to changes
in construction costs and land values. The City will evaluate land values through an appraisal at least
every three (3) years.
10. Automatic Adiustment in Fee.
The purpose of this section is to provide for an automatic annual adjustment to the Fee in
years when the City Council does not revise the Fee pursuant to Section 9 above.
The City Manager shall adjust the Fee automatically, effective July 1, 2003 and each July 1
thereafter, as follows:
a. The costs of construction of the Facilities (as shown on Table 3.7 for parks; Table
4.4 for community/recreation facilities (including the aquatic center); Table 5.4 for library facilities; Table
6.3 for Civic Center expansion in the Study Update shall be increased by the annual percentage increase in
the Engineering News Record's Construction Cost Index (20-city average) for the month of April over the
same Construction Cost Index for the month of April ofthe prior year. The City Manager may round the
Fee adjustment to whole dollars.
b. The Land Cost per acre for the Facilities as shown on Table 3.4 for Neighborhood
and Community Parks and Table 5.4 for library land in the Study Update shall be increased/decreased
annually by the percentage increase/decrease between the land cost per acre in the most recent land
appraisal (prepared for the City for purposes of adjusting the Fee) over the land cost per acre in the
immediately preceding appraisal (prepared for the City for purposes of adjusting the Fee and using the
same methodology), calculated as an annual increase/decrease. For example, if the appraised land value
in year 1 is $10/acre and in year 2 is $11/acre, that is an annual increase of 10% which will result in a
yearly increase of$10, until the Fee is revised by the Council pursuant to Section 9 above. The City
Manager may round the Fee adjustment to whole dollars.
11. Administrative Guidelines.
The Council shall, by resolution, adopt administrative guidelines to provide procedures for
calculation, reimbursement, credit or deferred payment and other administrative aspects of the Fee. Such
guidelines shall include procedures for construction of designated Facilities by developers.
8
/1 ;/ ~2
The amount of any reimbursement or credit shall be determined by the Public Works
Director using the costs of construction and value of right-of-way used by the City in calculating and
establishing the Fee. The amount of any reimbursement or credit, once established, shall not be increased
for inflation nor shall interest accrue on such amount. No credit or reimbursement shall be given unless
the improvements constructed are the Improvements and Facilities described herein. Reimbursement shall
only be from revenues raised by payment ofthe Fee.
12. Effective Date.
This resolution shall become effective immediately. The Fee provided in Sections 2 and 3
ofthis resolution,shall be effective sixty (60) days from the effective date ofthe resolution and shall
supersede the Fee established by Resolution No. 60-99 sixty (60) days from the effective date ofthis
resolution.
13. Severability.
Each component of the Fee and all portions of this resolution are severable. Shou1dany
individual component of the Fee or other provision of this resolution be adjudged to be invalid and
unenforceable, the remaining component or provisions shall be and continue to be fully effective, and the
Fee shall be fully effective except as to that component that has been judged to be invalid.

INTRODUCTION
MuniFinancial was retained by the City of Dublin to complete an update of the
City's public facilities fees. This report is an update of Public Facilities Fee Study
1998 Update, completed by Hausrath Economics Group in March 1999 and
adopted by City Council. It reflects changes in cost information since the previous
analysis was completed.
The imposition of development impact fees typically requires updates to cost
information on an annual basis. This enables the fee to be adjusted for the effects
of inflation so that fee revenue is sufficient to cover the costs of expanding facilities
to serve new development. This report includes updated cost information
provided by the City based on recent data for:
. Parkland acquisition cost per acre;
. Parkland development cost per acre;
. Community building costs;
· Aquatic Center costs;
· Library building costs; and
· Civic Center expansion costs.
MuniFinancial reconstructed the impact fee model used to develop the previous
update by Hausrath Economics Group to reflect the new information. Only those
tables that changed from the previous analysis are shown within this report. Please
refer to the Hausrath Economics Group report for additional information. The
current report does not substantively affect the findings made in the Hausrath
report and required by state law to justify the imposition of the public facility fees.
Updated costs are provided by fee type in the sections that follow. Tables are
numbered to correspond with the Hausrath report. The final section of the report
presents the updated fee schedule.

NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY PARKS
This section presents the updated cost data for the neighborhood and community
parks fee.
Parkland Acquisition and Development Costs Per Acre
The Public Facilities Fee Ordinance states that land cost per acre shall be increased
or decreased annually by the percentage difference of the most recent land
appraisal. The most recent appraisals were done in July 1998 and December 2000.
The resulting annual increase applied to the value adopted July 1,2001 by the City
Council is eight percent for community parkland and six percent for neighborhood
parkland.
Table 3.4 presents the updated land and development costs for neighborhood and
community parks.

1 Land costs based on most recent land appraisal prepared for the purpose of adjusting the fee.
Appraisals were done in July 1998 and December 2000, resulting in an annualized increase of
eight percent for community parkland and six percent for neighborhood parkland. These
inflation factors were applied to 2001 land values in the existing fee program.
2 Park development costs based on recent experience with construction of Emerald Glen Park
at $370,000 per acre. Neighborhood park costs based on a recent developer-funded project
with a cost of $316,000 per acre.
