Introduction
The imposing of development impact fees in California is guided by legislation commonly known
as AB1600 which became effective on January 1, 1989. This legislation has been codified as
California Government Sections 66000-66008, and requires each local agency that imposes AB
1600 development impact fees to prepare an annual report providing specific information about
those fees. Further, it stipulates fees imposed on new development have the proper nexus to any
project on which they are imposed. Further, Government Code (GC) Section 66001 requires that
for the fifth fiscal year following the first deposit into the account or fund, and every five years
thereafter, the local agency shall make findings related to purpose of the fee, relationship between
the fee and the purpose for which it is charged, and identify sources and amount of funding, among
other findings. If the fee is held beyond this time frame due to specific circumstances or insufficient
collection for the needed improvements, the City Council must make specific findings to continue
holding the fees.
Accounting Requirements
California Government Code Section 66006 (a) requires that if a local agency imposes a fee in
connection with the approval of a development project, then the local agency receiving the funds
shall deposit the funds in a separate fund or account to avoid commingling the fees with other
revenues. The fees must be segregated from the General Fund and from other funds or accounts
containing fees collected for other improvements. Each fund must earn its own interest and be used
for the same purpose as the fee collected.
Annual Report Requirements
California Government Code Section 66006 (b) requires that for each fund or account established,
the local agency shall make available to the public the following information for the fiscal year
within 180 days after the last day of each fiscal year. Additionally, the information shall be made
available to the public at least 15 days in advance of the public meeting at which the report is
presented. This report was posted on the City’s website and made available at the City Clerk’s
office for public review on December 27, 2024.

The fee provides for the expansion of the City’s water system, including but not limited to

There is a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose because the fee is calculated in

Resolution 1998-022. For Fiscal Year 24-25, revenue remaining in this fund is planned for the
construction of the Water Tank #9 project. This fund will be closed when all funds are expended
as this fund has been superseded by the Water Capacity Charge.

There is a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose because the fee is calculated in
proportion to the development’s impact on trees within the City of Rohnert Park measured by the
number of removed trees and not replaced by development.
To comply with Government Code Section 66001 (d)(1), the City illustrates below the planned
expenditures for the account or fund balance remaining unexpended, whether committed or
uncommitted. Generally, the planting of trees is a non-capital item.

Development Impact Fees
PUBLIC FACILITIES FEE
The Public Facilities Fee (PFF) is based on the Public Facilities Finance Plan, which determined the facilities needed to
serve new development built out in accordance with the City’s General Plan, and in turn, new developments’ fair share of
the costs of those facilities. The fair share of costs varies based on the land use class of the new development and the
location of the new development.
New residential development is subject to the Public Facilities Fee shown in Table 1: Residential Fees below. Fair
share costs for expansion of sewer, water, and public facilities are included in the fees shown below.

New non-residential development is subject to 3 components that together make up the total Public Facilities Fee for
such projects:
Table 2: PFF – Public Facilities. This component of the PFF pays for expanded transportation infrastructure
(i.e. new roads, traffic signals), public safety capacity and infrastructure (e.g. Westside Public Safety building),
and public works and community facilities. The fee is based on a rate determined by the land use and project
location, multiplied by each enclosed 1000 SF of project.
Table 3: PFF – Sewer. This component pays for the infrastructure needed to send additional sewerage to the
Laguna Treatment Plant. The fee is based on a rate determined by the land use and project location, multiplied
by the daily flow gallons expected to be generated by the new development, based on the number and type of
fixtures in the project.
Table 4: PFF – Drainage. This component pays for additional capacity of the drainage system needed to lessen
and treat runoff created by new impervious surfaces in new development. The fee is based on a rate determined
by the land use and project location, multiplied by 1000 SF of disturbed site area created by the project.

Public Facilities Fee Schedule Notes
1. See 2011 Update to the Public Facilities Finance Plan for detailed presentation of calculations. (Adopted by City
Council Resolution)
2. “Infill Development” is all development (new, remodel or reconstruction) outside of the defined Specific Plan
Areas or Planned Developments
3. Non-residential fees are calculated by summing the values from Tables 2, 3, and 4 for the type of land use
proposed.
4. “Mixed Use” fees are calculated by summing the fees calculated for each type of land use within the mixed -use
proposal.
5. N/A or Not Applicable means that a particular fee component does not apply within the defined geographic area
because:
a. New development within that geographic does not create impacts to certain infrastructure systems; or
b. Approved Specific Plans do not include certain land use classes, hence fee components have not been
computed.
6. Enclosed Thousand Square Feet is calculated based on the gross floor area, as defined in Chapter 17.04 of the
Municipal Code including any patio area under a horizontal projection of the roof, the floor above or other
covering, when such area is used for activities integral to the commercial business.
7. Disturbed Thousand Square Feet is calculated based on the total area approved for grading on the property.
8. The Public Facilities Finance Fee is subject to adjustment by the Engineering News-Record Construction Cost
Index (ENR-CCI) for the San Francisco Bay Area on July 1st each year.
WATER CAPACITY CHARGES
The Water Capacity Charge (WCC), adopted in November 2016, funds water supply infrastructure needed by new
development. This fee replaced the “Per Acre Development Fee” and “Special Water Connection Fee” and is charged to
new residential and non-residential development. A Water Capacity Charge Analysis was conducted to determine the
improvements to be financed by the WCC, including buy-in to the City’s existing well field, a fair share allocation of the
Sonoma County Water Agency’s planned supply improvements, and new storage tanks required by the environmental
documents for the new development areas. Like the Public Facilities Fee, the fair share of costs varies based on the land
use class of the new development and the location of the new development. The Water Capacity Charge is subject to
ENR-CCI adjustment on July 1st each year.
