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.

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 f ee
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 25 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 2018-19 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 owner.

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.

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.
Required 5-Year Findings for Unexpended Funds/Annual Reporting Requirements
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 18 of this report for the beginning and ending balance of the account for this
fee.
3. Refer to page 18 of this report for the amount of 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, 2019, there continues to be a need for Oyster Point Interchange
Impact fees due to further developments in that area of South San Francisco.
17
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 on-going.
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. There are currently no planned projects for Oyster Point Interchange impact fees.
8. The fund has one loan from the former Redevelopment Agency, please refer to page 18 of
this report. The amount owed as of June 30, 2019, is approximately $4.8 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.
9. 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 dev eloper
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 27 of this report for the fee schedule outlining the amount of the fee.
3. See page 22 of this report for beginning and ending balance of the account for this fee.
4. See page 22 of this report for the amount of fees collected and interest earned.
5. Of the approximate $12.4 million of unexpended traffic impact fee revenue, $701,000 was
spent in Fiscal Year 2018-19 (refer to table on page 22). The remaining $20.5 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 2019-21 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. Refer to page 24 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 moneys in the fund.
2. There was one project that was worked on in FY 2018-19 using the sewer capacity
charge program. Refer to page 24 of this report for an identification of the public
improvement on which charges were expended, the amount of the expenditures on each
improvement.
3. Refer to page 24 of this report for an identification of public improvements anticipated to
be undertaken in the next fiscal year.
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)). Since the update for the
sewer capacity charges went into effect in Fiscal Year 2010-11, $1.5 million of collected
sewer capacity charges has been spent on Water Quality Control Plant upgrades.
6. There were not any interfund transfers or loans.

Oyster Point Interchange Impact Fee Rates for Fiscal Year 2018-19
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 2017
and 2018 were 11,696.47 and 12,014.72, respectively, resulting in a percentage increase of 2.56%.

Sewer Capacity Charge for Fiscal Year 2018-19
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
28
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.
