Proposal for the City of Santa Ana, CA Page 12 Task 1: Preliminary Research Prior to any meetings, RCS will perform a field "windshield" survey to become acquainted with the physical characteristics and general improvement needs and standards of the City. We will request and review all City maps, land-use documents, and available master plans, especially the Comprehensive General Plan, before the kick-off meeting. We will review the City's history of impact fee schedules, resolutions, ordinances, and Annual and Five-Year Reports per Government Code Sections 66006 and 66001. RCS will review recent Operating Budgets, CIP Budgets, Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports, and fixed asset reports. RCS will meet and discuss the City’s planning, capital financing process, and community development standards with the City Engineer, City Planner, and other executive staff to determine the improvements that most likely will evolve from the project planning documents and be needed to support and give validity to the City's Comprehensive General Plan. Task 2: Series of Working Meetings RCS will meet with City staff responsible for each infrastructure to help identify all projects needed through theoretical build-out via the use of master plans, specific plans, and other service requirement studies. The more supporting documents we can find, the better the Study will be. The greatest support would be an engineer-prepared Master Plan. RCS will endeavor to increase the validity of available information if such a document is unavailable. RCS will request from the City all reports, master plans, specific plans, and other related reports identifying needed infrastructure. If needed, RCS can assist the City with developing project lists and supporting data. RCS will review project cost estimates and textual explanations for accuracy and completeness. RCS will identify and analyze the demand drivers specific to each infrastructure or service area. The drivers are the factors of nexus demand related to each land use and would be based on the project plans or City productivity records. These demand drivers will help determine the distribution of the benefits of nexus for, and impact of each group of projects on each of the above categories of land use. The proportional analysis is necessary to identify what burdens would be placed upon the existing and future infrastructure would be undertaken. Task 3: Draft Development Impact Fee Calculation and Nexus Report Since the Report is based on information and estimates provided by City staff, it is important that all participants are comfortable with the methodology and data City Council 27 – 14 11/7/2023
