<br />Section 3. Park Fees Calculation <br /> <br />This Section presents the calculation of the park dedication requirement, in-lieu fees and park <br />impact fees based on the per capita cost components discussed in Section 2 for the different land <br />uses in the County. <br /> <br />Average Household Size by Housing Type <br />Since the park fees are based on per capita need and level of service, this Study recommends the <br />allocation of the park fees to the different residential land uses (or housing types), since different <br />housing types have different household sizes. Based on 2000 U,S. Census information, Table 10 <br />presents the average household size calculation for four housing types: detached single-family <br />homes, attached single-family homes (or townhomes), multi-family residences and mobile homes. <br /> <br />Table 10 - Average Household Size by Housing Type <br /> Contra Costa County <br /> Total Vacant Occupied Total Average <br /> Housing Housing Housing Number of Household <br />Housing Type Units Units Units Occupants Size <br />Single-Family Attached 232,050 4,732 227,318 680,276 2.993 <br />Townhomes 29,976 963 29,013 69,064 2.380 <br />Multi-Family Unit 84,994 4,170 80,824 174,213 2.155 <br />Mobile Home 7,120 486 6,634 13,328 2.009 <br />Average (2000 Census) 354,140 10,351 343,789 936,881 2.725 <br /> <br />This Study also incorporates the addition of another residential unit to an existing property as a fifth <br />category (labeled as "Second Residential Units./I) Insufficient data exists to calculate the average <br />household occupancy of second residential units in the County; therefore, a conservative estimate <br />of 1.0 person per unit is utilized. <br /> <br />Park Impact Fee Nexus Study, 2004 <br />County of Contra Costa <br /> <br />DRAFT REPORT <br /> <br />Page 12 <br /> <br />6-19 <br />
