6.13. - Page 14 of 29 Attachment A 12/16/2019 1. Identify the purpose to which the fee is to be put. The purpose of the Parks Impact Fee is to augment recreational opportunities through the improvement of parks in order to compensate for increased demand for City facilities and services brought about by new development and the associated increase in population. 2. Demonstrate a reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged. Based on the City's current population and existing park facilities, the City's existing level of service is 2.14 acres of park area for every 1,000 residents. The City's General Plan level of service goal is 3 acres of parks for every 1,000 residents. This reasonable relationship remains between the current need for the Fee and the purpose for which it was originally collected because the City's level of service goal is 3 acres of parks for every 1,000 residents. New housing developments increase the number of residents but do not always add additional park space with their projects. The fee collected is used to offset/increase the level of service for park acreage for the added residents. Redwood City has remained at 185.52 acres for FY 18-19, providing 2.14 acres per 1,000 residents. 3.

All sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing in incomplete improvements are listed in Table H, at the end of the Parks Impact Fee section. 4.
