Bicycle and Pedestrian Impact Fee Program
The nexus study for this citywide impact fee program was adopted by the City Council 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 study justified the need to provide sufficient funding to
achieve the City’s goal of maintaining bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and improvements
for residents, employees, and visitors of the City in accordance with the standards established in
the General Plan. The Bicycle Master Plan recommends the completion of the City’s existing
network of bicycle paths, lanes, and routes.

Childcare Impact Fee Program
The nexus study for this citywide impact fee program was adopted by the 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.

Park Land Acquisition Fee
The nexus study for this impact fee program was adopted by the City Council in 2017.
Ordinance 1520-2016 amended the Municipal Code to include Chapter 8.67 adopting the
parkland acquisition fee and park construction fee. The purpose of this fee is to provide funding
to meet the goals set forth by the General Plan, the Parks + Recreation Master Plan, and the East
of 101 Area Plan, which require acquiring 3 acres of park land per 1,000 future residents and ½
an acre per 1,000 new employees. 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; it 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 in order 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 26 of this report for the fee schedule outlining the amount of the fee.
3. Refer to page 11 of this report for the beginning and ending balance for the account of
this fee.
4. Refer to page 11 of this report for the amount of fees collected and interest earned.
5. There have been no projects completed during Fiscal Year 2017-18 using the Park Land
Acquisition fee funding.
6. 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.
7. There were no interfund transfers or loans.
8. There are no potential refunds to property owners.

Park Construction Fee
The nexus study for this impact fee program was adopted by the City Council in 2017.
Ordinance 1520-2016 amended the Municipal Code to include Chapter 8.67 adopting the
parkland acquisition fee and park construction fee. The purpose of the Park Construction Fee is
to provide funding for the construction of park facilities and improvements on the park land
acquired by other fees. The General Plan, the Parks + Recreation Master Plan, and the East of
101 Area Plan call for 3 acres of park land and facilities per 1,000 new residents and ½ an acre of
park land and facilities per 1,000 new employees. The nexus study estimated the hard
construction and soft costs at $981,250 per acre, which were subsequently increased to
$1,019,911 per acre, based on the incremental change in the Construction Cost Index (CCI). The
City will incur the costs of administering the fee program and preparing analyses and reports
related to it.
Annual Reporting Information:
1. The purpose of the Park Construction Fee fund is to provide new development’s share of
funding developing 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 27 of this report for the fee schedule outlining the amount of the fee.
3. Refer to page 13 of this report for the beginning and ending balance for the account of

Public Safety Impact Fee Program
The nexus study for this citywide impact fee program was adopted by the 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.
Required 5-Year Findings for Unexpended Funds/Annual Reporting Requirements
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. The reasonable relationship between the public safety impact fee and the purpose for
which it is charged is demonstrated in the South San Francisco Public Safety Equipment
and Facilities Development Impact Fee Study. The fee study determined that each new
development adds incremental use of existing public safety equipment, vehicles, and
facilities. As of June 30, 2018, there continues to be a need for Public Safety Impact Fees
due to further residential and commercial developments in South San Francisco.
3. The sources and amounts of funding anticipated for public safety facilities and equipment
can be found in the South San Francisco Public Safety Equipment and Facilities
Development.
4. Public safety equipment and facility improvements are on-going. The City’s buildout is
assumed to occur over a 20-year period, which is consistent with the General Plan.
5. There are currently no planned projects for the approximate $836,000 of unexpended
public safety impact fee revenue for Fiscal Year 2018-19. The unexpended impact fee
revenue will be used to fund projects in subsequent years, such as those found in the
original fee study. Based on the findings in the nexus study, new development is
responsible for 25.6% of the cost of new and expanded equipment and facilities.
6. There were not any interfund transfers or loans.
7. There are no potential refunds Public Safety Impact Fees to property owners.
8. Refer to page 27 of this report for the fee schedule outlining the amount of the Public
Safety 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 monthly inflation adjustment.
2. June 26, 1996, fee program change 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 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. Refer to page 28 of this report for the fee schedule outlining the amount of the fee.
3. Refer to page 19 of this report for the beginning and ending balance of the account for
this fee.
4. Refer to page 19 of this report for the amount of fees collected and interest earned.
5. 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 for the advance of $14.45
million.
18
6. The fund has one loan from the former Redevelopment Agency. The amount owed as of
June 30, 2018, is approximately $8.3 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.
7. There are no potential refunds of Oyster Point Interchange Impact Fees to property
owners.

Sewer Impact Fee Program
The 2002 nexus study for this plan area 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.

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.
Annual Reporting Information
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. See page 28 of this report for the fee schedule outlining the amount of the fee.
3. See page 23 of this report for beginning and ending balance of the account for this fee.
4. See page 23 of this report for the amount of fees collected and interest earned.
5. Of the approximate $7 million of unexpended traffic impact fee revenue, $302k was
spent in Fiscal Year 2017-18 (refer to table on page 23). The remaining $12.4 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. Of the 26 improvement projects listed in the
nexus study, six have been completed. 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 2017-19 Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) budget.
6. The remaining nexus study projects will be programmed in future years’ CIP budgets at
the discretion of the City Council.
7. There were no interfund transfers or loans.
8. There are no potential refunds of Traffic Impact Fees to property owners.

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. 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 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 § 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 2017-18
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 monthly 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 2017-18
The fee is updated each calendar year. The fee is currently $4,785.88 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.
