<br /> <br />Proposal for the City of Santa Ana, CA <br />Page 11 <br />SCOPE OF WORK <br />DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE To make certain the City of Santa Ana continues to provide basic municipal services as the City grows, RCS proposes to undertake the calculation and textual support of a new Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report. RCS staff will perform the following to complete the Development Impact Fee (DIF) calculation and quantify the costs generated by new development in terms of an Impact Fee Schedule for city land uses. Based on our preliminary review of the reports and documentation available by the City, we propose development impact fees for the following infrastructures. <br /> <br />1. Law Enforcement, Vehicles, and Equipment <br />2. Fire Suppression/Medic Facilities, Vehicles and Equipment <br />3. Transportation System Improvement Area <br />4. Transit Zoning Code Traffic Impact Mitigation Fair Share <br />5. Harbor Specific Plan Mitigation Fair Share <br />6. Drainage Assessment Fee <br />7. Park Acquisition and Development Fee <br />8. Sewer Connection Fee <br />9. Water Connection Fee <br />10. Library Fee <br />11. General Facilities Development Fee <br />12. Community Centers Development Fee RCS has the experience and determination to research and identify the maximum financial impact of future developments in Santa Ana. With this information, staff can realize the city's best funding and implementation policies. We plan to use a series of direct, focused meetings between RCS experts and knowledgeable City staff to produce an accurate, logical, and defensible final product. RCS' objective is to ensure that City staff feels confident about the data and the report and, therefore, confident in supporting the results at public hearings. The fee recommendations included in RCS' final Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report will be legally defensible, easy to understand, and supported by City staff. Our years of experience in impact fees and working with local government finance officers ensures this project will be completed successfully and on time. <br /> To provide the basis for the Development Impact Fees, the following steps would be taken by the Revenue & Cost Specialist staff, working with City staff and other consultants where necessary and appropriate: <br /> <br />   <br />  <br />City Council 27 – 13 11/7/2023
