<br />3. not <br />updated since 1990, Pursuant to Ordinance 920-6, the County currently requires <br />350 square feet of land per new dwelling unit to be dedicated for park and <br />recreational purposes, In subdivisions containing fewer than 50 parcels, only the <br />payment of fees, rather than dedications of land, is required. Those fees are <br />currently $2,000 per dwelling unit, except for East County, where the fee is $1,350 <br />per dwelling unit <br /> <br />4, The County's current park dedication requirement and in-lieu fees are based on 1990 <br />U,S, Census figures for average household size; land values of $145,000 (West and <br />Central County) and $75,000 (East County); and include park development costs of <br />$85,000 per acre. <br /> <br />5. The County currently does not impose park impact fees on non-subdivision <br />residential projects. <br /> <br />6, In September 2002, Assembly Bill 2936 was passed, authorizing cities and counties <br />to impose impact fees to recover the costs of preparing and revising general and <br />master plans. The County currently does not impose such fees for the park and trails <br />planning process, <br /> <br />7. A reasonable relationship or "nexus" exists between new residential development <br />projected to occur in the unincorporated areas of the County and the need for <br />additional developed parkland and recreational facilities as a result of new residential <br />development The specific nexus findings required by the Mitigation Fee Act <br />(Government Code Section 66001 et seq.) are fully presented in Section 5 of this <br />Study. <br /> <br />Park Impact Fee Nexus Study, 2004 <br />County of Contra Costa <br /> <br />DRAFT REPORT <br /> <br />Page 3 <br /> <br />6-10 <br />
