A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
LAKE ELSINORE ADOPTING THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE STUDY AND ESTABLISHING A
PUBLIC BUILDING FACILITIES FEE FOR DEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS WITHIN THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Lake Elsinore has adopted an
ordinance amending Chapter 16.74 which creates and establishes the authority for
imposing and charging additional development impact fees for Animal Shelter Facilities,
City Hall and Public Works Facilities, Community Center Facilities and Lake Side
Facilities within the City (collectively as "Public Building Facilities Fees"); and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds as follows:
A. The City of Lake Elsinore Public Building Facilities Fee Study
complies with California Government Code Section 66001 by establishing the basis for
imposition of fees on Development Project. In particular, the City of Lake Elsinore
Public Building Facilities Fee Study:
1. Identifies the purposes of the fees;
2. Identifies the use to which the fees will be put;
3. Shows a reasonable relationship between the fee's use and the
type of development project on which the fee is imposed;
4. Shows a reasonable relationship between the need for the
public facilities and the type of development projects on
which the fees are imposed; and
5. Shows a reasonable relationship between the amount of the
fees and the cost of the public facilities attributable to the
development on which the fees are imposed.
B. The fees collected pursuant to this resolution shall be used to finance
the public facilities described or identified in the City of Lake Elsinore Public Building
Facilities Fee Study or other public facility plans as may from time to time be adopted by
the City Council.
C. After considering the specific descriptions and cost estimates
identified in the Public Building Facilities Fee Study, the Council approves such project
CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION N0.2005-96

descriptions and cost estimates, and finds them reasonable as the basis for calculating and
imposing certain development impact fees.
D. The projects and fee methodology identified in the Public Building
Facilities Fee Study are consistent with the City's General Plan.
E. The Public Building Facilities Fee Study is categorically exempt
from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
guidelines section 15061(b)(3). The intent of the study and proposed fees is to provide
one means of mitigating potential environmental impacts which have been identified in
environmental analyses of other planning efforts.

(b) City Hall and Public Works Facilities Fees for Nonresidential
Development shall be based upon the habitable and enclosed square footage of building
and be determined by the rate and formula set forth in Exhibit A.

will be determined by the Community Development Director who shall determine such
fee based on analysis of the public service impacts of the proposed use in relation to other
nonresidential uses shown in Exhibit A.
(d) If a Development Permit is issued that would alter the amount of the
Public Building Facilities Fees due for the development or require the payment of a new

against the new total fee due, as determined by the Community Development Director,
provided, however, that in no event shall the City refund fees previously paid because of
a change in land use.
(e) Public Building Facilities Fees for additions to, or replacement or
', intensification of, an existing nonresidential use shall be paid only on the net increase in

SECTION 5. Exemptions. The following Development Projects are exempted
from paying development impact fees:

permit, is not subject to the Public Building Facilities Fees by virtue of the terms of a
valid development agreement or when such Development Project proceeds under a
vesting tract map upon which the Public Building Facilities Fees cannot be imposed as a
matter of law.
(d) Nonresidential Development if the developer qualifies as a non-
profit organization and is exempt from federal taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the

transfer of the Development Project or any portion thereof to a purchaser that does not
qualify as a non-profit organization that is exempt from federal taxation under Section

described in the Public Building Facilities Fee Study, (2) for reimbursing the City for the
development's fair share of those capital improvements already constructed by the City;
or (3) for reimbursing developers who have constructed public facilities described in the
Public Building Facilities Fee Study or other facility master plans adopted from time to
time by the City Council where those facilities were beyond that needed to mitigate the
impacts of the developers project or projects.
SECTION 8. Fee Adjustment. Commencing on July 1, 2006, the fees established
and imposed by this Resolution shall be adjusted as of July 1 of each year based upon the
percentage increase or decrease, if any, of the Engineering News Record Construction

month period prior to May 1 of the year in which the change will be effective.
SECTION 9. Judicial Action to Challenge this Resolution. Any judicial action or
proceeding to attack, review, set aside, void, or annul this resolution shall be brought
within 120 days of the date of adoption of this resolution.
SECTION 10. Severability. If any provision or clause, or paragraph of this
resolution or the imposition of a major project's financing fee for any project with the
Development Impact Fee Study or the application thereof to any person or circumstance
shall be held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the other provisions of this resolution
or other fees levied by this resolution which can be given effect without the invalid
provisions or application of fees, and to this end the provisions of the resolution are
declared to be severable.
