Subsequently, the Bonita Long Canyon development of McMILLIN has also been required to pay these interim Development Impact Fees. It is proposed that consultants be engaged to prepare a permanent Development Impact Fee Ordinance that would require the payment of an impact fee by all benefiting developments in the area east of 1-805 for all public facilities necessitated by development of the area. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Resolutions. BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A DISCUSSION: On December 19, 1985, the CITY and EASTLAKE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY entered into an "Interim Facilities Financing Agreement" which provided for offers of dedication of land for a fire station, library, transit center, and community park. The agreement also provided for the establishment of an Interim Impact Fee which was adopted March 11 , 1986 as an "Exhibit A" to provide funds for the development of the community park and construction of a fire station. The k interim Development Impact Fees also provided for the payment of the EASTLAKE share of certain off-site street widenings and the construction of an interim four lane street in the SR-125 alignment. With additional development either underway or in planning, it is appropriate at this time to begin the preparation of a permanent Impact Fee to provide , funds for public facilities including streets, parks, libraries, fire stations, etc. , required because of development applicable to the area east of I-805 within the City which can be expanded to new areas when they are annexed to the CITY. . Page 2, Item 11a, b Meeting Date 1/13/87 It is proposed to use the same consultants for this effort who prepared the EastLake Interim Development Impact Fee because of their demonstrated ability 1 to perform and the existing background information they they possess on the project. The consultants will work to establish a Task Force of City, County, CALTRANS, and owners and developers in the study area to review the work effort and to resolve issues during the process of preparing a permanent Development Impact Fee. The consultants' "Scope of Work" proposes as a first order of work the preparation of an interim ordinance applicable to the entire area in the City east of 1-805 to allow development to proceed and pay an impact fee while the I permanent Development Impact Fee is in preparation. The second stage will provide a street financing policy for this developing area of the City, a street phasing plan based on an assumed rate of development in the study area, and a Development Impact Fee Ordinance and other financing tools to provide the required public facilities in the east Chula Vista area. This work will be done in coordination with the circulation element of the General Plan Update. It will also deal with concerns of McMillin Development _ Co. and others as to whether East "H" Street should be considered in the F.B.A. SOURCE OF FUNDING Two possible sources of funding for this contract are General Fund Reserves and the EastLake Impact Fee Fund. The original report applicable to EastLake was funded by the developer and that was a condition of the tentative map. That fund has accrued over $1 .3 million dollars to date. This contract is to IA update the cost figures and include the remaining eastern area in the fee district. Staff believes it appropriate to include the costs of setting up and administering the district as part of the total costs and would, therefore, recommend the EastLake Impact Fee District be used to fund this study. SUMMARY OF COUNCIL ACTION Through the adoption of the above resolution, the City Council will have: 1. Approved the hiring of consultants for the preparation of a Development Impact Fee to provide necessary public facilities in the area of the City east of I-805 between SR-54 and Telegraph Canyon Road.
