Childcare Impact Fee Program
The nexus study for this citywide impact fee program was adopted by City
Council in 2001. The study identified the need for new and expanded child care
facilities in the City. Updates since 2001 to this fee program have included a
periodic inflation adjustment. The fee program includes a 5% administrative fee.
The estimated cost of the new and expanded facilities included in the nexus
study totaled $43.9 million. The nexus study identified new development's share
of the cost as 24.6% of the total new and expanded facilities cost. The expected
development impact fee revenue was estimated at $11.3 million, which includes
administrative costs of 5% of total fee revenue. Existing development's share of
the cost is $33.1 million (75.4% of new facilities) which must be funded with other
funding sources such as the City's General Fund, grants, developer
contributions, and Community Development Block Grants.
As of June 30, 2015, approximately $2.5 million in fees has been collected,
$670,000 in interest earnings has been credited to the program, and $620,000
has been expended on projects and program administration fees.
Required 5-Year Findings for Unexpended Funds/Annual Reporting
Requirements:
1. The purpose of the Childcare Impact Fee Program is to provide new
development's share of funding for new and expanded childcare facilities
required at build-out of the City.
2. The reasonable relationship between the childcare impact fee and the
purpose for which it is charged is demonstrated in the South San Francisco
Child Care Facilities Impact Fee Nexus Study dated September 2001 and
adopted November 14, 2001. As of June 30, 2015, there continues to be a
need for new childcare facilities due to the influx of new residents and
additional employees from new developments. Currently, the City runs two
licensed childcare facilities. There is a 4-year waiting list for space at these
facilities; there are 640 children on the waiting list. The City estimates that
there will be 5,000 new residents in the City within the next 5 years. The City
reasonably anticipates that these new residents will require additional
childcare services.
3. The sources and amounts of funding anticipated for completion of the future
new and expanded childcare facilities are in the South San Francisco Child
Care Facilities Impact Fee Nexus Study dated September 2001 and adopted
November 14, 2001. As noted in the nexus study, the source of funding
existing development's share is a combination of the General Fund, grants,
developer contributions, and Community Development Block Grants.
4. Four projects have been completed using Childcare Impact Fee Program
funding. The approximate date for funding and constructing future facilities
4
will be determined, at the discretion of the City Council, when adequate
additional funds for facility construction have accumulated.
5. The approximate $2.5 million of unexpended impact fee revenue will be used
to fund projects to increase childcare spaces in the City. As stated above, as
of November 24, 2015, there are 640 children on the waiting list for the City's
childcare programs. Community Care licensing requires 35 square feet of
indoor space per child and 75 square feet of outdoor space per child. A fully
equipped facility with kitchen and staff space for 100 children would require
approximately 5,000 square feet of indoor space. Consequently, in light of
the significant demand, the City requires additional funding/revenue in order
to construct the necessary facilities. The City's voters recently passed
Measure W, which may provide funding for a new recreational facility within
the City. The City is contemplating using a portion of the unexpended impact
fee revenue to fund additional childcare facility space at the new recreational
facility. Construction of other childcare facilities would require the
expenditure of General Fund reserves, which are designated for any purpose
at the discretion of the City Council. Thus, the approximate date for funding
and construction of additional childcare facilities is dependent on the
Council's prioritization of these projects. The funding source of existing
development's share of these projects will be the City's General Fund, less
any grant funds and developer contributions received.
6. There are no potential refunds of Childcare Impact fees to property owners.
7. There were not any interfund transfers or loans

Public Safety Impact Fee Program
The nexus study for this citywide impact fee program was adopted by City
Council in 2012. The study identified the need for new and expanded public
safety capital facility and equipment to support new development projects. This
fee program also includes an annual inflation adjustment. The fee program
includes a 2% administrative fee. The estimated cost of the new and expanded
public safety equipment and facilities included in the nexus study totaled $40.4
million. The nexus study identified new development's share of the cost at $10.4
million (25.6% of the total new and expanded equipment and facilities cost).
Existing development's share of the cost is $30.0 million (74.4% of new
equipment and facilities) which must be funded with other funding sources such
as the City's General Fund, grants, or developer contributions.
As of June 30, 2015, approximately $299,000 in fees have been collected,
$2,000 in interest earnings have been credited to the program, and no money
has yet been expended on projects or fee program administration.
Annual Reporting Information:
1. The Public Safety Impact Fee is collected to provide new development's
share of funding for new and expanded public safety capital facility and
equipment required at build out of the City.
2. See page 20 for the fee schedule outlining the amount of the fee; See page
8 for beginning and ending balance of the account for this fee and for the
amount of fees collected and interest earned.
3. No projects have been completed using the Public Safety Impact Fee
Program funding. The approximate date for funding and constructing future
facilities and procuring future equipment will be determined when adequate
additional funds have accumulated.
4. There were not any interfund transfers or loans
5. There are no potential refunds of Public Safety Impact Fees to property
owners

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 monthly inflation adjustment.
2. June 26, 1996 fee program change via Resolution No. 102-96 that 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
c) 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 on-going.
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. The construction portion of the flyover and hook ramps is completed and
funding through the fee program will continue through build-out of the plan
area. As impact fees are collected, they will be used to pay back the
Successor Agency to the Redevelopment Agency for the advance of $14.45
million.
3. See page 21 for the fee schedule outlining the amount of the fee; See page
11 for beginning and ending balance of the account for this fee and for the
amount of fees collected and interest earned.

4. There are no potential refunds of Oyster Point Interchange Impact Fees to
property owners.
5. The fund has one loan from the former Redevelopment Agency. The
amount owed as of June 30, 2015 is approximately $11.4 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. Because the amount of future impact fee revenue is
unknown, the repayment date is unknown.

Traffic Impact Fee Program
The 2001 nexus study for this plan area fee was adopted by 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. 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.
As of June 30, 2015, approximately $12.0 million in fees have been collected,
$2.0 million in interest earnings have been credited to the program, and $7.8
million has been expended on projects and fee program administration.
Required 5-Year Findings for Unexpended Funds/Annual Reporting
Requirements
1. The purpose of the Traffic Impact Fee Program is to provide new
development's share of funding for new and expanded roadway and
intersection improvements to serve the area located east of US 101 at build-
out of the plan area.
2. The reasonable relationship between the traffic impact fee and the purpose
for which it is charged is demonstrated in the Traffic Impact Fee Study
Updated East of 101 Area. The fee study determined that 6,538 PM Peak
Hour Trips would be generated by the growth in the East of 101 Area upon
General Plan build-up. In order to mitigate the increase in PM Peak Hour
trips, a list of traffic improvements was prepared. As of June 30, 2015, there
continues to be a need for new Traffic Impact Fees due to further
development east of Highway 101, including several large developments
under construction or in the planning stages.
3. The sources and amounts of funding anticipated for completion of the future
new and expanded roadway and intersection improvements are in the Traffic
Impact Fee Study Updated East of 101 Area.
4. Of the 26 improvement projects listed in the nexus study, six are currently
under construction. A traffic study, which will prioritize the construction of the
new and expanded facilities listed in the nexus study is in progress. The
projects currently underway are shown in the Fiscal Year 2014-15 Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) budget. The remaining nexus study projects will
be programmed in future years' CIP budgets. Note that after the build-out of
the east of Highway 101 area is completed, it is anticipated that traffic levels
will be even higher than was projected in the 2007 study, and that additional
projects will be needed to mitigate the increased traffic.
12
5. Of the approximate $5.9 million of unexpended traffic impact fee revenue,
$3.7 million is budgeted to be expended on projects in Fiscal Year 2015-16
(see table on page 14). The remaining $2.2 million will be used to fund
projects in subsequent years, such as the design of projects listed in the
original and updated fee studies. The approximate date of funding to
complete financing of projects identified in the nexus study and the traffic fee
study updates is unknown, as the sole source of funding is the traffic impact
fee, which is dependent on the implementation of new developments. Based
on the findings in the nexus study, new development is responsible for 100%
of the cost.
6. There are no potential refunds of Traffic Impact Fees to property owners.
7. There were not any interfund transfers or loans.

Sewer Impact Fee Program
The 2002 nexus study for this plan area fee was adopted by 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. 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.
As of June 30, 2015, approximately $7.6 million in fees (including a prepayment
from a large bio-technology firm) has been collected, $400,000 in interest
earnings has been credited to the program, and $6.1 million has been expended
on projects and fee program administration.
Annual Reporting Information:
1. The purpose of the Sewer Impact Fee Program is to provide new
development's share of funding for new and rehabilitated sewer collection and
treatment facilities to serve the area located east of US 101 at build-out of the
plan area.
2. See page 21 for the fee schedule outlining the amount of the fee; See page
17 for beginning and ending balance of the account for this fee and for the
amount of fees collected and interest earned.
3. Six of the eleven projects listed in the nexus study to be funded fully or
partially from sewer impact fees have been started and four of those are
completed. The projects currently underway are shown in the Fiscal Year
2015-16 CIP budget. The remaining nexus study projects will be
programmed in future years' CIP budgets.
4. As of June 30, 2015, the Sewer Impact Fee Program does not have any
unexpended funds. The fund balance at end of Fiscal Year 2014-15 is
approximately negative $40,000 (the fund has $1.93 million in cash balance,
which includes $1.97 million in prepaid/unearned fee revenue).

Sewer Capacity Charge Program
The original analysis was adopted by 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 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. The estimated capital investment
(cost less depreciation) of the collection and treatment facilities was included in
the analysis and totaled $161.2 million in 2009 dollars ($63.5 million from the
2000 analysis). The analysis identified the capacity charge as a cost recovery
charge associated with providing collection and treatment capacity to new
development, both through the existing infrastructure provided, and through
future capital projects not funded by the Sewer Impact Fee Program located East
of 101. Existing development's share of the benefit of these facilities is funded
from sewer charges appearing on property tax bills as a direct levy.
As of June 30, 2015, approximately $1.4 million in sewer capacity charge
revenues has been collected and $36,000 in interest earnings has been credited
to the program since the July 2010 update became effective. During this
timeframe, approximately $1.2 million has been expended on projects and
program administration.
Annual Reporting Information:
1. The sewer capacity charges do not exceed the estimated reasonable costs of
providing the facilities for which the fee is charged (see § 66013, subd. (a)).
2. The sewer capacity charges 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 § 66013, subds. (c) and (d)). Since
the update for the sewer capacity charges went into effect in Fiscal Year 2010-
11, $1.2 million of collected sewer capacity charges has been spent on Water
Quality Control Plant upgrades.
3. There were not any interfund transfers or loans

Oyster Point Interchange Impact Fee Rates for Fiscal Year 2014-15
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 April is used to calculate annual increases. The CCI
for April 2013 and 2014 were 10,373.34 and 10,894.84, respectively, resulting in
a percentage increase of 5.0%.

Sewer Capacity Charge for Fiscal Year 2014-15
The fee is updated each calendar year. For both calendar years 2014 and 2015,
the fee was $3,944 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.
