Exhibit A
Margarita Area : Park Fees
The City's parkland standards are set forth in the General Plan at 10 acres per 1,000 residents . In implementing this standard, the Council adopte d
the policy Park Land Acquisition and improvement in Annexation Areas in April 1998 . In summary, this policy provides that new development i n
annexation areas (as well as when discretionary approvals are requested, such as zone changes, general plan amendments or specific plans) i s
responsible for the cost of acquiring and improving park land as required to meet this General Plan standard unless the community chooses to hel p
pay the costs for certain development to obtain community-wide benefits .
Since this standard is only applicable to residential development, it was not included with the joint Airport/Margarita Area infrastructure analyses .
Instead, the City prepared a separate analysis of parkland costs, fees and credits in March 1998 . This analysis has been updated to reflec t
changes since then and was most recently updated in 2012 to reflect changes in the use of the Damon-Garcia sports fields to reflect increase d
citywide use . The results are presented in Table 12 A .
The following summarizes the key assumptions in this analysis :
1.Based on 836 housing units and population per household from the 2010 Census, there will be approximately 1,835 residents in th e
Margarita Area .
2.At 10 acres per 1,000 residents, this means that new development in this area is responsible for providing approximately 18 .35 acres of
developed parkland .
4.The plan calls for 25 acres of parkland in this area : 9 .9 acres in neighborhood park and 15 .1 acres in sports fields . Only 18 .35 acres i s
required to meet policy levels of 10 acres of park land per 1,000 residents . Since original adoption of this plan in 2004, the Damon-Garci a
sports fields have been developed and utilized as a Citywide facility therefore some of the costs originally anticipated as being the sol e
responsibility of the Margarita Area development have been shifted to City responsibility . Of the total parkland planned for the area, ne w
development is responsible for 12 .9 acres and the City is contributing 5 .45 acres towards the per capita increase . The remaining 6 .6 5
acres is further contributed to provide a community-wide benefit . In meeting the standard for this area, this results in 9 .9 acres i n
neighborhood parks and 8 .45 acres in sports fields attributable to the increase in MASP population . Land costs are estimated at $300,00 0
per acre for the future neighborhood park and $200,000 in actual costs for the Damon Garcia sports fields . Park development costs ar e
$235,000 per acre for both the Damon Garcia sports fields and the proposed neighborhood park .
5.Those who dedicate parkland within the Margarita area will receive a fee credit based on the land and improvement value of the dedicate d
parkland .
This results in the following park fees per unit :

(2)In addition to the Airport/Margarita Area project specific impact fees, new development in the Specific Plan areas will also be subject to citywide an d
Airport/Margarita add-on impact fees ; citywide and add-on impact fee rates are effective as of July 1, 2012 .
(3)Water and wastewater impact fees are based on meter size for non-residential uses in determining "equivalent dwelling units ." For example, a 3/4- inc h
meter is the equivalent of one single-family residence (EDU);a one-inch meter is two EDU's;a two-inch meter is 6.4 EDU's;and a three-inch meter is 14 EDI
