1.2 Summary of Recommendations Based on the findings presented in the Study, the following recommendations are presented: 1. The County should establish new park fees to fairly allocate the costs of new parkland acquisition and development to new residential development. The following park fees for the County are recommended: Table 1- Recommended Park Fees Total Park Fees per Dwelling Unit Categories West I Central Contra Costa County East Contra Costa County Single-Family Attached T ownhomes Multi-f amily Unit Mobile Home Second Units $6.788 $5.399 $4.889 $4.551 $2.268 $5,441 $4.328 $3.919 $3.653 $1.818 2. Since different residential land uses (or housing types) have significantly varying household sizes, this Study recommends a new fee structure that allocates per capita costs to four housing types and second units. The recommended housing types are detached single-family homes, attached single-family homes (or townhomes), multi- family residences and mobile homes. The calculation of the average household size for the four housing types and second units, based upon 2000 U ,S. Census information, are shown and further discussed in Section 3. 3. The County should establish a new parks and trails master planning fee to recover the costs of preparing and updating a park master plan as enabled by passage of AB 2936. Based on cost estimates provided by the County, the recommended fee structure for the parks and trails master planning fee is presented in the table on the following page and further discussed in Section 4.
