Bicycle and Pedestrian Impact Fee Program
The City Council adopted this nexus study for the citywide impact fee program in 2017. The study
identified the need to support the Bicycle Master Plan adopted by the City in February 2011 by
Resolution 23-2011. The General Plan establishes that maintaining bicycle and pedestrian
infrastructure requires funding sources. The Bicycle Master Plan recommends the completion of the
City’s existing network of bicycle paths, lanes, and routes.
Annual Reporting Information:
1. The purpose of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Impact Fee Program is to establish funding for completion
of the City’s existing network of bicycle paths. Additional daily trips due to development projects place
more demands on bicycle and pedestrian infrastructures in the city.
2. Refer to page 34 of this report for the fee schedule outlining the amount of the Bicycle and Pedestrian
Impact Fee.
3. Refer to page 6 of this report for the beginning and ending balance of the account for the Bicycle
and Pedestrian Impact Fee.
4. See page 6 of this report for Bicycle and Pedestrian Impact Fees collected, and interest earned.
5. There were no projects worked on during the Fiscal Year 2023-24 using the Bicycle and Pedestrian
Impact Fee funding.
6. The approximate date for funding and execution of projects will be determined, at the discretion of
the City Council, when adequate additional funds have accumulated.
7. There were no interfund transfers or loans.
8. There is no potential refund to property owners as available funds have been appropriated for on-
going projects.

Childcare Impact Fee Program
The City Council adopted the nexus study for this citywide impact fee program in 2001. The study
identified the need for new and expanded childcare facilities in the City. In August 2020, a new study
analyzed the current relationship between new development in the City, the childcare services needed
to serve that growth, and the estimated costs of those facilities to provide those childcare services, and
to analyze new development's fair share of childcare infrastructure costs. The City’s current ordinance
governing the impact fees provide the City with the ability to increase impact fees annually based upon
either a Consumer Price Index or Construction Cost Index. The fee program includes a 3.34%
administrative fee. The study estimates that the City will need to create 2,138 additional childcare
spaces by 2040 to maintain current childcare services standards in the City and estimates that 1,069 of
these needed spaces are expected to be met by traditional childcare facilities funded by the fee. The
study further estimates that the total projected cost to create these additional 1,069 childcare spaces is
$43.5 million. Other funding sources may include the City’s General Fund, grants, developer
contributions, and Community Development Block Grants.
Annual Reporting Information:
1. The purpose of the Childcare Impact Fee Program is to finance the creation of new childcare
spaces in the City through construction of new childcare facilities or the expansion of existing
facilities, in order to maintain current service levels considering the increased demand for
childcare services caused by development in the City, and for new development to pay its fair
and proportional share of such childcare spaces.
2. Refer to page 35 of this report for the fee schedule outlining the amount of the Childcare Impact
Fee.
3. Refer to page 8 of this report for the beginning and ending balance of the account for the
Childcare Impact Fee.
4. See page 8 of this report for the Childcare Impact Fees that have been collected, and interest

5. Two projects were worked on during Fiscal Year 2023-24 using the Childcare Impact Fee
funding.
6. There are no new projects planned for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
7. The approximate date for funding and constructing future facilities will be determined, at the
discretion of the City Council, when adequate additional funds for facility construction have
accumulated.
8. There were no interfund transfers or loans.
9. There is no potential refund to property owners as available funds have been appropriated for
on-going projects.

Commercial Linkage Fee Program
The nexus study for this citywide impact fee program was adopted by the City Council in 2018 by
Resolution 123-2018. The study justified the need to provide sufficient funding for affordable housing
and established a nexus between the need for affordable housing and the impacts of commercial
development within the City. The impact fee program supports the City of South San Francisco’s
adopted 2023-2031 Housing Element, which includes the goal of promoting the provision of housing
by both the private and public sectors for all income groups in the community.
Annual Reporting Information:

Park Land Acquisition Fee
The City Council adopted the nexus study for this impact fee program in 2017. Ordinance 1520-2016
amended the Municipal Code to include Chapter 8.67, adopting the parkland acquisition fee and park
construction fee to generate funding for parks in South San Francisco. The ordinance was amended
again in 2019 and the 2020 resolution updated the fee amounts. The General Plan, the Parks and
Recreation Master Plan, and the East of 101 Area Plan each lay out specific park requirements. The
current need is three acres of park land per one thousand future residents and one half of an acre per
one thousand new employees is the current need. This fee differs from the City’s Quimby Act fee in
Section 19.24.040 et seq of the Municipal Code. The Quimby Act allows for the imposition of land
dedication requirements and in-lieu fees for residential subdivisions. The Act does not apply to other
types of residential development projects or commercial development projects.
The Park Land Acquisition Fee is applied to residential and non-residential development projects to
support the demands for parks and recreation spaces generated by new residents of residential
development projects and new employees of non-residential development projects. The nexus study
calculated the fee for park land acquisition based on the number of residents generated by each new
type of residential unit and the number of employees per 1,000 square feet in non-residential
development projects. The City adopted the Park Land Acquisition Fee under the authority of the
Mitigation Fee Act.
Annual Reporting Information:
1. The purpose of the Park Land Acquisition Fee fund is to provide new development’s share of
funding for acquiring new parks and recreation spaces at a rate of 3 acres per 1,000 new
residents in multifamily development projects and 0.5 acres per 1,000 new employees in
commercial development projects.
2. Refer to page 36 of this report for the fee schedule outlining the amount of the fee.
3. Refer to page 16 of this report for the beginning and ending balance for the account of this fee.
4. Refer to page 16 of this report for fees collected and interest earned.
5. Two projects utilized the Park Land Acquisition Fee fund in FY 2023-24. Refer to page 16 of
this report for identification of public improvement on which fees were expended, the amount
of the expenditures on each improvement, including the total percentage of the cost of the public
improvement that was funded with the fees.
6. There are no new projects planned for FY 2024-25 using the Park Land Acquisition Fee.
7. The approximate date for funding and acquiring park land will be determined, at the discretion
of the City Council, when adequate additional funds have accumulated.
8. There were no interfund transfers or loans and no potential refunds to property owners.

Public Arts In-Lieu Fee
In October 2020, the City Council passed ordinance number 1613-2020 creating the public art
requirement. The City is dedicated to improving infrastructure, economic development, and cultural
diversity through acquisition and exhibition of public art. The public art requirement applies to any
new non-residential development project and that it requires such projects to contribute public art with
a value of at least one percent (1%) the amount of construction costs. In lieu of contributing public art,
the public art requirement will allow for the payment of an in-lieu fee into a public art fund at the value
of half of one percent (0.5%) of the amount of construction costs.
Annual Reporting Information:
1. The Public Arts In-Lieu Fee is collected to provide cultural and artistic art to enhance the quality
of life for individuals living in, working in, and visiting the City.

Public Safety Impact Fee Program
The City Council adopted the nexus study for this citywide impact fee program in 2012. The study
identified the need for new and expanded public safety capital facility and equipment to support new
development projects. In August 2020, a new study analyzed the current relationship between new
development in the City, the public safety equipment, vehicles, and facilities needed to serve that
growth, and the estimated costs of those equipment and facilities, and to analyze new development’s
fair share of public safety infrastructure costs. The City’s current ordinance governing the impact fees
provide the City with the ability to increase impact fees annually based upon either a Consumer Price
Index or Construction Cost Index. The fee program includes a 3.67% administrative fee. The study
estimates that the City will incur approximately $110 million in costs to replace, upgrade, and expand
public safety infrastructure through 2040. The study further estimates that the total projected cost
associated with future residential and non-residential development during that time would be
approximately $25.3 million. Other funding sources may include the City’s General Fund, grants, or
developer contributions.
Annual Reporting Information:
1. The purpose of the Public Safety Impact Fee is to finance the expansion, upgrading or relocation
of police and fire stations, replacement of police and fire equipment and vehicles, and
acquisition of addition equipment necessary to accommodate the increased demand for public
safety services caused by future development in the City, and for new development to pay its
fair and proportional share of such equipment, vehicles, and facilities.
2. Refer to page 37 of this report for the fee schedule outlining the amount of the fee.
3. Refer to page 20 of this report for the beginning and ending balance for the account of this fee.
4. Refer to page 20 of this report for fees collected and interest earned.
5. Two projects were worked on during FY 2023-24 using the Public Safety Impact Fee Fund.
Refer to page 20 of this report for identification of public improvements on which fees were
expended, the amount of expenditures on each improvement, including the total percentage of
the cost of the public improvement that was funded with the fees.
6. There are safety equipment purchases planned for FY 2024-25 using the Public Safety Impact
Fee Fund.
7. The approximate date for further funding and constructing facilities and procuring future
equipment identified in the nexus study will be determined when adequate additional funds
have accumulated.
8. There were no interfund transfers or loans.
9. There are no potential refunds to property owners.

Transportation Impact Fee Program
The nexus study for this impact fee program was adopted by the City Council in 2020. Ordinance 1607-
2020 amended the Municipal Code to include Chapter 8.68 establishing the transportation impact fee.
The nexus study identified the need for transportation improvements and facilities needed to serve the
growth, and the estimated costs of those improvements and facilities. The nexus study has identified
$160.8 million in transportation infrastructure improvements such as roads, sidewalks, traffic lights,
bicycle lanes and pathways, curbs and gutters, and medians caused by new developments throughout
the city. The City seeks to mitigate these transportation impacts caused by new development and to
allow the City to recover approximately $33.7 million in costs associated with the new development
by providing for the payment of the citywide Transportation Impact Fee.

Oyster Point Interchange Impact Fee Program
The City Council adopted this plan area fee program on May 23, 1984, using a February 1983
Feasibility Study prepared by Nolte and Associates in conjunction with Resolution No. 71-84 which
created the “Oyster Point Contribution Formula.” The 1983 Feasibility Study identified the need for
the Oyster Point Interchange project, which was, at that time, referred to as the grade separation project.
Updates to the fee program since 1984 include the following:
1. An ongoing inflation adjustment.
2. June 26, 1996, fee program changes via Resolution No. 102-96 included adjustments for:
a. the inflationary index that reduced the fee by approximately 22%,
b. the project description which increased the scope of the project to include the Terrabay
hook ramps and the southbound off-ramp flyover, and the use of more current trip
generation rates.
3. October 9, 1996 fee program change via Resolution No. 152-96 that added additional land uses
with their associated trip generation rates.
The Feasibility Study identified new development’s share of the grade separation project cost at 64.8%
and existing development’s share of the cost at 35.2%. The grade separation was completed and funded
in 1995 and is not part of this annual report. The increased scope portion of the project, added in 1996,
was identified as being 100% the responsibility of new development. Of this additional scope, the
flyover, estimated to cost $6.4 million, was completed in 2005, and the hook ramps, estimated to cost
$15 million, were completed in October 2006. Additional work relating to property transfers and
gaining final Caltrans project acceptance is ongoing.
Annual Reporting Information
1. The purpose of the Oyster Point Interchange Impact Fee Program is to provide new
development’s share of funding for this project required at build-out of the plan area.
2. Refer to page 26 of this report for the beginning and ending balance of the account for this fee.
3. Refer to page 26 of this report for fees collected and interest earned.
4. The reasonable relationship between the Oyster Point interchange impact fee and the purpose
for which it is charged is demonstrated in the 1983 Feasibility Study by Nolte and Associates,
and in the fee program updates in Resolution No. 102-96 and Resolution No. 152-96. As of
June 30, 2024, there continues to be a need for Oyster Point Interchange Impact fees due to
further developments in that area of South San Francisco.
5. The sources and amounts of funding anticipated for Oyster Point Interchange projects can be
found in the updates adopted via Resolution No. 102-96 and Resolution No. 152-96. Additional
working relating to property transfers and gaining final Caltrans project acceptance is ongoing.

6. Buildout in the Oyster Point Interchange area is ongoing due to further developments in South
San Francisco. The City’s buildout is assumed to occur over a 20-year period, which is
consistent with the General Plan.
7. No projects were worked on during FY 2023-24 using the Oyster Point Interchange Impact
Fees funds.
8. There are currently no planned projects for Oyster Point Interchange Impact fees for FY 2024-
25.
9. The fund has one loan from the former Redevelopment Agency. Please refer to page 26 of this
report. The amount owed as of June 30, 2024, is approximately $1.16 million. Since the
dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency in 2012, the interest rate charged by the Successor
Agency is 0%. The loan is repaid as new impact fee revenue is received. Given that the amount
of future impact fee revenue is unknown, the repayment date is unknown. There were no other
interfund transfers or loans.
10. There are no potential refunds of Oyster Point Interchange Impact Fees to property owners.
11. Refer to page 38 of this report for the fee schedule outlining the amount of the Oyster Point
Interchange Impact Fee.

East of 101 Sewer Impact Fee Program
The 2002 nexus study for this fee was adopted by the City Council in 2002. The study identified the
need for new and rehabilitated sewer collection and treatment facilities to serve the area located east of
US 101 in the City of South San Francisco. This fee program also includes an annual inflation
adjustment. The estimated cost of the 20 new and expanded sewer projects included in the study totaled
$21.4 million. The study identified new development’s share of the cost of the required facilities at
$15.5 million (72.4% of the total new and expanded facilities cost) while existing development’s share
of the cost (existing deficiency) is $5.9 million (27.6% of new facilities). New development’s share of
the cost, $15.5 million, was increased to include some master planning costs ($425,000) and some
CEQA reviewing costs ($600,000) for a total cost to new development of $16,425,000. Of that amount,
$12,429,000 was to be sewer impact fee funded and $4,066,000 was to be funded directly by developer
contributions. Of the twenty total projects listed in the nexus study, eleven projects are either fully or
partially funded with the sewer impact fee funds, four are existing development’s responsibility, four
are to be funded by developer contributions, and one is to be funded with a combination of developer
contributions and revenues from existing development. Existing development’s share will be funded
with the sewer charges appearing on property tax bills as a direct levy.

East of 101 Traffic Impact Fee Program
The 2001 nexus study for this plan area fee was adopted by the City Council in 2002. The study
identified the need for new and expanded roadway and intersection improvements to serve the area
located east of US 101 in the City of South San Francisco. The study was updated on May 6, 2005,
and on July 19, 2007. This fee program includes an annual inflation adjustment and a 2.5%
administrative fee. The estimated cost of the new and expanded facilities included in the 2007 study
totaled $38.5 million ($32.4 million in net cost after accounting for fees already received). There are
26 road improvements listed in the 2007 study and two studies for a total of 28 projects. The study
determined that new development would be responsible for 100% of the cost of the 28 projects.
The East of 101 Traffic Impact Fee has been superseded by the Citywide Transportation Impact Fee;
however, this fee is still in use for projects that received entitlements and are vested prior to November
22, 2020. Therefore, this impact fee will continue to receive annual adjustments along with the other
fees.

Sewer Capacity Charge Program
The original analysis was adopted by the City Council in 2000 and annual updates included a preset
adjustment to the charges based on borrowing costs. The most current Sewer Capacity Charge Analysis
by Bartle Wells & Associates is dated August 26, 2009 and was adopted by the City Council in April
of 2010 to be effective in Fiscal Year 2010-11. This analysis identifies the need for sewer collection
and treatment capacity in the City of South San Francisco. There are two components to the Sewer
Capacity Charge: the capital assets valuation charge and the capital improvements charge. The capital
assets charge accounts for the existing value of the sewer collection and treatment system which is
calculated using the depreciated replacement cost of the system’s assets. The capital assets charge (also
called a “buy-in” fee) assigns a value to the benefit that new development receives from the availability
of sewer capacity (which existing development has maintained over the years through the sewer rates).
The total depreciated replacement value is $161.6 million, of which 37.2 percent is new development’s
fair-share, or $60.1 million. The second component is the charge for future improvements to the system
identified in the City’s Capital Improvement Program. The total cost of these future improvements is
$84.6 million, the fair-share allocation to new development is 37.2 percent of that amount, or $29.8
million. The total fair-share is $90 million. These funds may be used for capital improvements to
maintain capacity in the system.
Annual Reporting Information:
1. Refer to page 33 of this report for the beginning and ending balance of the account for the sewer
capacity fund, the amount of charges collected, and the interest earned from investment of
money in the fund.
2. No projects were worked on during FY 2023-24 using the sewer capacity charge program.
3. There are no projects planned for FY 2024-25.
4. The sewer capacity charges do not exceed the estimated reasonable costs of providing the
facilities for which the fee is charged (see Cal. Gov. Code § 66013, subd. (a)).
5. The sewer capacity charge’s accounting and reporting requirements are being met, i.e., the
revenues are kept in a separate fund and the City provides annual reports on the use of the funds
collected (see Cal. Gov. Code §§ 66013, subds. (c) and (d)).
6. There were not any interfund transfers or loans.
7. There is no potential refund to property owners as available funds have been appropriated for
future projects.

Oyster Point Interchange Impact Fee Rates for Fiscal Year 2023-24
The impact fee is calculated by multiplying the number of vehicle trips by $154 and by the percentage
increase in the Construction Cost Index (CCI) as published in the Engineering News-Record (ENR)
from the date of adoption, when the CCI was 6,552.16, to the current effective CCI.
Vehicle Trips are based on average daily traffic (ADT). The rates shown below are based on 1,000
gross square feet of land use.
The ENR CCI published in May is used to calculate monthly increases. The CCI for May 2022 and
2023 were 15,326.99 and 15,595.35, respectively, resulting in a percentage increase of 1.75%

* The East of 101 Traffic Impact Fee has been superseded by the Citywide Transportation Impact Fee;

fees.
39
Sewer Capacity Charge for Fiscal Year 2023-24
The fee is updated each calendar year. The fee is currently $5,952 per EDU. An EDU, or Equivalent
Dwelling Unit, is the amount and strength of sewage equivalent to that discharged by a single-family
residence. EDU = (0.00347 x Q) + (0.362 x BOD) + (0.589 x TSS). Q = gallons per day of sewage
to be discharged; BOD = pounds per day of biochemical oxygen demand to be discharged; TSS =
pounds per day of total suspended solids to be discharged.
