LIEU FEE AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 2011-085
AND RESOLUTION NO.2011-086
WHEREAS, California Government Code Section 66477 also known as the Quimby Act
authorizes municipalities to impose a requirement on residential subdivisions including parcel
maps, the dedication of land for park the payment of fees in lieu of parkland dedication; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has heretofore adopted and amended Sections 17.08.240,
17.08.250, 17.08.260, 17.34.010, 17.34.020 and 17.34.030 of the Anaheim Municipal Code
establishing a formula for determining maximum park and recreation land dedication or in -lieu
fees ("Fees") for the City of Anaheim; and
WHEREAS, adoption of standardized dedication or in -lieu fees is in the public safety,
health and welfare in so far as said adoption will reduce current inconsistent and uncertain
procedural applications in the calculation of said Fees and will provide a more efficient and reliable
method of calculation; 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 Development Impact Fee Nexus Report ("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
and has determined the following fees to be charged do not exceed the actual cost of acquisition
and development of parks in the City of Anaheim and do not exceed the maximum fees authorized
pursuant to said sections of the Anaheim Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds and determines that, based upon the DIF Nexus
Report, the average cost of park development is One Million Eight Hundred Thirty Four Thousand
Seven Hundred Forty Dollars ($1,834,740) per acre and the average cost of park land acquisition
is Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per acre; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with this formula, the park -in -lieu fees may not exceed Forty
Five Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy Seven Dollars ($45,777) for a single family detached or
attached dwelling unit; and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes it is in the best interests of the City of Anaheim and
in concert with the desire of the City Council to maintain a stable economic environment that the
park in lieu fees should not be substantially inconsistent with the average of surrounding Orange
County cities; and
WHEREAS, the City Council further finds and determines that this resolution amending
park in lieu 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.
