That the Council Economic Development Committee reviews and provides feedback and direction on the park impact fee calculations.

SUMMARY
The attached park impact fee calculations, prepared by Community Attributes, Inc., show the maximum allowable park in-lieu fees that could be assessed on different development types. Currently, park fees in Hayward are only imposed on residential development, in accordance with the Quimby Act. However, per the Mitigation Fee Act, the City has the option to also assess fees on non-residential development, as long as that fee bears a reasonable and proportionate relationship to the impact that the development creates on the parks system.
Two sets of park fee calculations are provided in the following attachments. One calculates the maximum allowable fees if they are assessed on both residential and non-residential development. The other calculates maximum allowable fees if they are assessed on residential development only.
From the Committee, staff would like direction on the following questions:
1. Should park impact fees be applied to non-residential development?
2. Should park impact fees be reduced below the maximum allowable for any types of development? If so, which types and how much?
3. Are there any types of development that should be exempt from park fees, such as accessory dwelling units (ADUs), affordable housing, senior housing, etc.?
