The parkland dedication fees based on the formula as stated in the Poway
Municipal Code Section 16.38.040, and usin9 current demographic variables and
parkland development cost estimates are computed as follows:
Park in-lieu fee formula D + ~ = Total fee in dollars
N (rounded to nearest $10)
ProDosed Fee Current Fee
Single family dwelling unit (detached) $2,680 $2,560
Multiple family dwelling unit (2 units 2,110 2,010
or 9reater)
Mobile homes (located within mobile home 1,900 1,820
park)
Since 1990, parkland dedication fees have increased as follows:
Proposed
1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996
$2,250 $2,500 $2,550 $2,550 $2,560 $2,560 $2,680
$1,700 $1,720 $2,000 $2,000 $2,010 $2,010 $2,110
$1,450 $1,600 $1,820 $1,810 $1,810 $1 ,820 $1,900
The higher fees result from an estimated 5% increase in costs for park
development. The park development cost per acre has increased from $163,704
to $171,890. The other variables used to calculate the in-lieu fees have not
changed.
Government Code Section 65962 requires any action increasing a fee upon a
development project, which applies to the filing, accepting, reviewing,
approving, or issuing of an application, permit or entitlement, shall be
effective no sooner than sixty (60) days following the final action of the
adoption of the resolution. The attached resolution, if adopted by the City
Council, would become effective February 14, 1996.

TREASURER
ChrIs J. Chambers Dear Mayor Higginson and Members of the Council,
Conhnental Homes
SECRETARY The purpose of this letter is to register our strong oPPosition to the proposed
Mark D. M~Mlllln increase in Poway' s Park In-lieu fees.
McMillin Communiti".
lXEClJTlVE The reason for our opposition is simple -- development costs have decreased
VICE PAESIDENl over the last 3 years The staff report claims that parle development costs have
Paul A. Tryon increased 5 per cent. How can this be? The cost ofland is less; the average
home price has decreased; construction costs are less.
Construction lnd:J~lry
Federalion We question why park development fees are increasing in Powa)' when other
California BUIlding north county cities are finding ways to defer fees or reduce them for the
Indu6try Al!liOCIQtlon reasons sighted above.
N3tlor\al AlCoclation
of Home Builders The bottom line is: How can anyone who has walched County r(a! estale
values plummet for the last few years, believe that it costs mon' today to
develop a park? On the contrary, it would seem that park fees should be going
down, not up.
We urge you 10 carefully consider this request and the logic behind it before
you grant another fee increase.
Sincerely,
Ckk~~
