RES-2026-025RESOLUTION NO.2026-025 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING THE PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITIES AND VEHICLE AND EQUIPMENT IMPACT FEES WHEREAS, per Chapter 17.36 of Title 17 of the Anaheim Municipal Code and the provisions of state law, authorize the City Council of the City of Anaheim ("City Council") to establish Public Safety Impact Fees ("Fees") to mitigate the impacts on fire suppression and emergency services and law enforcement and crime prevention services caused by new and expanded development within the City of Anaheim ("City"); and WHEREAS, an analysis of the need for additional and improved fire suppression facilities and equipment and law enforcement facilities and equipment required by new and expanded development in the City is set forth in the Development Impact Development Impact Fee ("DIF") Nexus Report developed by DTA and Development Impact Fee Improvement Plan (together hereinafter referred to as the "DIF Nexus Report"); and WHEREAS, the DIF Nexus Report analyzed the impact of new and expanded development on fire suppression facilities and equipment and law enforcement facilities and equipment, the resulting need for additional and improved facilities and equipment, and the estimated costs of additional and improved facilities and equipment; and WHEREAS, said Fees as hereinafter set forth have been considered at a duly noticed public meeting or hearing as required by law; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that said Fees, in the amount hereinafter set forth in this resolution, are less than or equal to, but in any event do not exceed, the actual direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred by the City of Anaheim in providing said services; and WHEREAS, the City Council, after due consideration of all evidence, testimony and reports offered at the public hearing does find as follows: A. The purpose of establishing Public Safety Impact Fees is to finance improvements and additions to facilities and equipment to support fire suppression and emergency services and law enforcement and crime prevention services made necessary by new development and the expansion of and additions to existing development in the City. B. The Public Safety Impact Fees collected pursuant to this resolution shall be used to finance only the additional and improved facilities and equipment set forth in the DIF Nexus Report, which additional facilities and equipment are needed to augment existing fire suppression and emergency services facilities and equipment and law enforcement facilities and equipment serving the City, and to offset the impacts of new development and expansion of and additions to existing development within the City. The DIF Nexus Report, a copy of which is available in the office of the Finance Department, has been contemporaneously reviewed and approved by City Council via separate Resolution and is incorporated herein by this reference. C. New residential, commercial, entertainment, amusement, and industrial developments and expansions and additions to such existing developments will generate additional need for fire suppression and emergency services and law enforcement services in the City. D. The facts and evidence presented establish that there is a reasonable relationship between the need for the described fire suppression and emergency facilities and equipment and the law enforcement facilities and equipment and the impacts of the types of development described in the DIF Nexus Report, for which the corresponding Public Safety Impact Fees are charged and, also, there is a reasonable relationship between the use of the fees and the type of development for which the fee is charged, in that fire suppression and emergency services facilities and equipment and law enforcement facilities and equipment provide support for fire protection, paramedic and law enforcement services and accommodate additional demand generated by development, as is described further and in more detail in the DIF Nexus Report referred to above. E. The cost estimates set forth in the DIF Nexus Report are reasonable cost estimates for adding to fire suppression and emergency services facilities and equipment and law enforcement facilities and equipment, and the fees to be generated by the construction of new residential, commercial, entertainment, amusement, and industrial developments and expansions and additions to such existing developments will not exceed the total of these costs. F. The City has determined that, on average, there is no evidence that a larger home in the City corresponds to additional residents in the home, thus a uniform per -unit fee best reflects the actual impact a new home will have on fire suppression and emergency services and law enforcement and crime prevention services. G. City Council further finds and determines that this resolution amending Public Safety Impact Fees of the City in the manner hereinafter set forth is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Section 15060(c)(2), 15060(c)(3), and 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, because there is no possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment, and because it is not a "project," as that term is defined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Anaheim as follows: 1. Definitions. (a) "New Development" shall mean construction of new residential, commercial, entertainment, amusement, and industrial developments and expansions and additions to such existing developments. (b) "Exempted Development" shall mean development exempted pursuant to Section 17.36.050 of the Anaheim Municipal Code. 2. Imposition of Fee. The Public Safety Impact Fees shall be charged and paid 2 prior to approval of each building permit for new development within the City, as shown in Exhibit A, except as otherwise provided in Section 66007 of the Government Code. 3. Use of Public Safety Impact Fees. The Public Safety Impact Fees shall be used solely to pay for the additional and improved fire suppression and emergency services facilities and equipment and law enforcement facilities and equipment, all as identified in the DIF Nexus Report. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED as follows: 1. The Public Safety Impact Fees set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated by this reference herein, shall be, and are hereby, adopted. 2. The fees established herein shall become effective sixty (60) days following the date of adoption of this Resolution. 3. The fees established herein shall, upon becoming effective, supersede any fees previously adopted for the same purposes. 4. The fees established herein shall be increased on July 1, 2027, and annually thereafter, by the change in the California Construction Cost Index ("CCCI") from the California Department of General Services for the calendar year immediately preceding the increase, rounded down to the nearest whole dollar. 5. The City Council hereby declares that should any one or more fees established by this Resolution or any portion of this Resolution be declared for any reason to be invalid, it is the intent of the City Council that it would have adopted all other fees and portions of this Resolution independent of the elimination therefrom of any such fee or such portion as may be declared invalid.
