AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS
ESTABLISHING DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES FOR NEW
DEVELOPMENT WITH RESPECT TO STORM DRAIN, SEWER, WATER,
SOLID WASTE, ACQUISITION OF WATER STOCK AND WATER RIGHTS,
OPEN SPACE AND PARKS, TRANSPORTATION, AND PUBLIC
FACILITIES, AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 7951
WHEREAS, Chapters 3.32, 3.44, 3.48, 3.54, 3.56, 3.60, 3.70, and 13.40 of the Redlands
Municipal Code establish, respectively, Open Space and Parks, Sewer Capital Improvement, Water
Capital Improvement, Transportation Improvements, Storm Drain Facilities, Public Facilities Fees,
Solid Waste Improvement, and the Acquisition of Water Stock And Water Rights to implement the
City's General Plan and Master Plans to ensure that public facilities improvements which meet City
standards are available concurrent with the need caused for such facilities by new development in the
City; and
WHEREAS, new residential and non-residential development within the City will generate
additional residents and employees who will require additional public facilities. Land for these
facilities will have to be acquired and public facilities and equipment will have to be expanded,
constructed or purchased to meet this increased demand; and
WHEREAS, the Development Impact Fee Nexus Study ("Fee Study") has been prepared in
response to the projected direct and cumulated effect of future development. Each new development
will contribute to the need for new public facilities. Without future development many of the new
public facilities on the Needs Lists would not be necessary as the existing facilities are adequate for
the City's present population. In instances where facilities would be built regardless of new
development, the costs of such facilities have been allocated to new and existing development based
on their respective level of benefit; and
WHEREAS, the proposed impact fee will be charged to all new/future development,
irrespective of location, in the City. Even future "in fill" development projects contribute to impacts
on public facilities because they are an interactive component of a much greater universe of
development located throughout the City. First, the property owners and/or the tenants associated
with any new development in the City can be expected to place additional demands on City facilities
funded by the fee. Second, these property owners and tenants are dependent on and, in fact, may not
have chosen to utilize their development, except for residential, retail, employment and recreational
opportunities located nearby on other existing and future development. Third, the availability of
residents, employees, and customers throughout the City has a growth inducing impact without which
some of the "in -fill" development would not occur. As a result, all development projects in the City
contribute to the cumulative impacts of development; and
WHEREAS, the fee will be used for the acquisition, installation, and construction of the public
facilities identified on the Needs Lists, included in Section IV of the Fee Study and other appropriate
costs to mitigate the direct and cumulative impacts of new development in the City. The fee will
provide a source of revenue to the City to allow for the acquisition, installation, and construction of
public facilities, which in turn will maintain the current standard of service, preserve the quality of
1

life in City and protect the health, safety, and welfare of the existing and future residents, visitors,
and employees; and
WHEREAS, it is the projected direct and cumulative effect of future development that has
prompted the preparation of the Fee Study. Each development will contribute to the need for new
public facilities. Without future development, the City would have no need to construct many of the
public facilities on the Needs Lists. For all other facilities, the costs have been allocated to both
existing and new development based on their level of benefit. Even future "infill" development
projects, which may be adjacent to existing facilities, further burden existing public facilities.
Consequently, all new development within the City, irrespective of location, contributes to the direct
and cumulative impacts of development on public facilities and creates the need for new facilities to
accommodate growth; and
WHEREAS, the fees will be expended for the acquisition, installation, and construction of the
public facilities identified on the Needs Lists and other authorized uses, as that is the purpose for
which the Fee is collected. As previously stated, all new development creates either a direct impact
on public facilities or contributes to the cumulative impact on public facilities. Moreover, this impact
is generally equalized among all types of development because it is the increased demands for public
facilities created by the future residents and employees that create the impact upon existing facilities;
and
WHEREAS, all new development within the City, irrespective of location, contributes to the
direct and cumulative impacts of development on public facilities and creates the need for new
facilities to accommodate growth. Without future development, many of the facilities on the Needs
Lists would not be necessary. For certain other facilities, the costs have been allocated to both existing
and new development based on their level of benefit; and
WHEREAS, it is now the desire of the City Council of the City of Redlands ("this City
Council") to establish development impact fees for new development; and
WHEREAS, on May 2, 2024, David Taussig and Associates, Inc. dba DTA, prepared a study
in accordance with Assembly Bill (AB) 1600 and Government Code Section 66000, et. seq. for the
City recommending the amounts of development impact fees which may be imposed for new
development; and
WHEREAS, the development impact fee provisions of the Redlands Municipal Code provide
that the specific amounts of fees shall be established by this City Council;
WHEREAS, the term "Residential Property" includes Accessory Dwelling Unit above 750
sq.ft., Single Family, Multi -Family, and Transit Oriented; and
WHEREAS, by purposes of efficiency, it is further the desire of this City Council to establish
the development impact fees for new development in this ordinance.
