EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This City-initiated amendment to the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) will update
the City's impact fees for fire rescue, police, parks and recreation and roads to reflect
the most current city data and costs associated with development.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of impact fees is to ensure that new development bears a proportionate
share of the cost of capital expenditures necessary to provide fire rescue, police, parks
and recreation and roadway services in the City of Palm Beach Gardens.
Section 78-92 of the Land Development Regulations sets forth the schedule of impact
fees to be imposed by the City of Palm Beach Gardens. On September 30, 2004, the
City Council adopted Ordinance 38, 2004 which set the methodologies as well as the
existing City impact fees for fire rescue, police, parks and recreation, and roads.
Impact fees are not taxes and are governed by a standard that has become known as
the "dual rational nexus test." This test has two major components:
1. That the facilities to be charged to new development as impact fees must
be needed to serve that new development, and
2. That the funds collected as impact fees must be earmarked and spent for
the purposes for which they were collected.
In 2006, the Legislature passed and the Governor signed into law the Florida Impact
Fee Act. This act imposes several requirements for impact fees:
1. Impact fees must use the most recent data;
2. The data must be localized to the area;
3. Administrative costs or charges cannot exceed actual costs; and
4. There must be a minimum of 90 days between passage of impact fees or and
increase to impact fees and the time of implementation of actual collections.
The calculations used for this amendmen#, were the most recent data localized to Palm
Beach Gardens. Since the last update of Palm Beach Gardens' impact fees, the
County has introduced a number of new land use/development categories. Those new
cour�ty categories have been introduced into Palm Beach Gardens' impact fees in this
update. Using the general format of the County's system provides for consistency of the
systems and minirr�ization of administrative casts.
The following tables depict the proposed fee, existing and the percentage change from
the existing impact fees for fire rescue, police, parks and recreation, and road impact
fees based on the most current data. The proposed fee has been bolded in the tables

STAFF ANALYSIS
Section 78-95 of the Cit�'s Land
the schedufe of impact fees to �
the City recently hired a consult�
is atfached to this report. Dr. Ja
Development Regulations requires a periodic review of
�date costs, credits and generation rates. Accordingly,
nt to perForm such a review and analysis, a copy which
nes Nichoias, the City's consultant for the impact fees,
Meeting Date: August 23, 2011
LDRA-11-07-000041
Page 11 of 11
will be at the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board meeting to discuss his report and
answer any questions concerning the recommended fee structure.
Table 21 on pages 34 and 35 of the attached report dated August 8, 2011 provides a
comprehensive summary of the total sum of impact fee changes in ali categories.
As part of Staff's review of the impact report, an analysis was conducted to the Five-
Year Capital Improvements Projects (CIP) projection for each of the impact funds. Over
the five year period, the estimated impacts based on the new fee schedule would vary,
including increases to Recreation and Police revenues, while Road and Fire Impact
revenues would decrease. However, the only adjustment necessary to the CIP plan was
the elimination of $500,000 for a traffic signal at Fairchild Gardens Drive and Fairchild
Avenue, which is a signal that is unwarranted.
As required by the State Legislature, the City will provide a 90-day notice of the
changes to the fees after they have been approved by the City Council. This petition is
tentatively scheduled for first reading on October 6, 2011, and second reading with
adoption on November 3, 2011. Therefore, the tentative effective date for these updated
fees would be no earlier than February 2012.

Palm Beach Gardens Impact Fees — August 8, 2011 1
1. Development Impact F'ees
Development impact fees have become a commonly used source of revenue to
supplement available means of funding capital facility improvements needed to
accommodate new development. Impact fees grew out of two rather commonly
held notions:
1. Generally, new development does not pay the cost of capital
facilities needed to accommodate the residents and businesses
from standard sources of revenue, and
2. It would be inequitable to impose the cost of extending facilities to
new developments on existing residents and taxpayers.
In Florida, both the courts� and the Florida Statutes2 acknowledge local
governments' authority to impose equitable impact fees. Impact fees are not
taxes and are governed by a standard that has become known as the "dual
rational nexus test." This test has two major components:
1. That the facilities to be charged to new development as impact fees
must be needed to serve that new development, and
2. That the funds collected as impact fees must be earmarked and
spent for the purposes for which they were collected.
Implied in this test is that any impact fee cannot exceed a pro rata or
proportionate share of the anticipated costs of providing new developments with
capital facilities.
This memorandum will set out how the proposed updated impact fees for the City
of Palm Beach Gardens were calculated. The method used complies with the
dual rational nexus test, first by establishing or identifying the demand for facility
expansions that new development will require, and then calculating the City's
cost of providing those facilities on a pro rata basis. Additionally, these methods
comply with the Florida Impact Fee Act by using the most recent data and data
localized to Palm Beach Gardens. After review of these methods and data, if the
i See Hollyivood, Inc. v. Broward County, 431 So. 2d 606 (Fla. 4th DCA 1983). In this opinion the Court
observed:
�WJe disceYn the gene��al legal p��inciple that reasonable dedication or iTnpact fee requirements
are pernzissible so long as they offset needs s��ciently am�ibutable to the subdivision and so
long as t1�e funds collected a��e su�ciently ea�^ma�^ked for the substantial bevrefrt of the
subdivision residents.
' See Sections 1633202(3) and 16331801, Florida Statutes .
Palm Beach Gardens Impact Fees — August 8, 2011 2
City finds the data and methods are reasonable, the City should not adopt any
impact fees that exceed the amounts set out herein.
In 2006, the Legislature passed and the Governor signed into law the Florida
Impact Fee Act. This act imposes several requirements for impact fees:
1. Impact fees must use the most recent data;
2. The data must be localized to the area;
3. Administrative costs or charges cannot exceed actual costs; and
4. There must be a minimum of 90 days between passage of impact fees or
and increase to impact fees and the time of implementation of actual
collections.
The calculations setout herein use the most recent data and all data are localized
to Palm Beach Gardens. Administrative costs and charges are not dealt with
herein but any such charge should be reviewed and not exceed the City's actual
costs of administering its impact fee program. Additionally, the ordinance
adopting any increased impact fees should provide for the required 90-day delay.

2. Demographic Parameters
The first data needed to update impact fees are demographic data. The relevant
data for Palm Beach Gardens are shown below. The first row is headed
"Resident Population." This is the number of people actually or projected to be in
residence in the City at the given time. The U.S. Bureau of the Census must
count people according to their official places of residence since the original

and still important objective of the census is to count the population for purposes
of allocating seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. This means that there
may be many people actually present at a particular time other than just the
official residents. These other people are termed "seasonal" and they are shown
as included with permanent residents in Peak Population. This is the number of
people needing services from the City — the sum of the permanent residents and
the seasonal residents. Table 1 shows the occupancy of dwelling units in Palm
Beach Gardens. Those classified as "occupied" are the residences of the
permanent residents shown in Table 1. The U.S. Bureau of the Census
established the convention of naming dwellings that are seasonally occupied as
"vacant." In this context, vacant means not occupied by permanent residents. It
does not mean that the dwelling is not occupied.
Table 2 shows occupancy by size of dwelling unit. Studies conducted by Palm
Beach County indicate that unit occupancies rise as dwelling units become
larger. The data analyzed by the County is countywide and are applicable to
Palm Beach Gardens. These occupancies will be used to assess impact fees
within Palm Beach Gardens.

Palm Beach County maintains and Charter authorized system of county-wide
impact fees. The City of Palm Beach Gardens' impact fees are in addition to
those imposed by the County. To aid in administration, the land uses and units
used in establishing Palm Beach gardens impact fees are the same as the
County's. Since the last update of Palm Beach Gardens' impact fees, the County
has introduced a number of new land use/development categories. These new
county categories will be introduced into Palm Beach Gardens' impact fees in
this update.

3. Parks & Recreation
The existing inventory of park and recreational facilities is shown in Table 3. The
level of service for parks and recreation is measured as acres per 1,000 (peak)
population. The 355.3 acres of parks constitutes a level of service of 5.913 acres
per 1,000 population or 258 square feet of park area per capita. The existing
park lands are valued at $54.4 million, $153,013 per acre. The costs of providing
park facilities and equipment are shown in Table 4.

As the City grows, it will need to provide 258 square feet of park area for each
person at a gross cost of $1,575.08 and a net cost of $1,391.48. The gross cost
is reduced to reflect outstanding debt that new development will have to pay
along with existing taxpayers.

4. Fire Rescue
The existing provision of fire rescue facilities is shown in Table 7. The City
provides five fully equipped stations to serve the existing community. The facility
cost per call for service is $2,389, down slightly from 2004. As the City grows,
additional calls can be expected at a cost of $2,389 per call. The City has
outstanding debt for fire rescue facilities, thus reducing to a net cost per call of
$1,911. Table 7 shows these cost data and contrasts the 2010/11 data with
those from 2004. The net result is a slight decrease in capital cost per call for
service of 1 %.

Calis for service by land use are shown in Table 13. These data are drawn from
a study done by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. The existing call data
are adjusted to be in accord with the current method of reporting calls for service
by the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department. The apparent declines in calls
for service are a result in the manner of reporting of calls in Palm Beach
Gardens. While the rate of (reported) calls decline by 23.7%, the cost per call
increased by 96% due, in part, to the change in the method of reporting calls.
The increased in cost per call offsets the decreases in calls per unit with the
result being a net increase in cost per unit, as shown in Table 15a.

In Florida the primary means of financing road construction are motor fuel taxes
paid to the federal, state, and county governments. Secondary means include
requiring developers to construct and dedicate road improvements and,
potentially, impact fees. Only 1 cent of motor fuel taxes is directed to
municipalities (the 8t" Cent) and then it is for general revenue purposes. County
Optional Motor Fuel Taxes are shared with municipalities. Palm Beach Gardens,
like most cities, devotes the entirety of these funds to road maintenance. The
federal, state, and county transportation systems devoted motor fuel tax
resources to road improvements and maintenance in Palm Beach Gardens.
Therefore a credit is introduced to reflect those payments by residents and
occupants of Palm Beach Gardens structures. This presentation of road impact
fees presumes that developers will receive credit for the reasonable value of
roadway improvements dedicated to Palm Beach Gardens when such
dedications are made.

Generally the traffic data shown in Table 18 are those presentiy used by Palm
Beach Gardens, Palm Beach County, and by the Florida Department of
Transportation. "Pass-by" measures the extent to which a particular use of land
will "capture" existing trips that were passing-by the site rather than attracting
new trips to the site. Study of "pass-by" trips was presented in the several ITE,
Trip Generation Manuals and a formula in the 6t" edition. These studies report
pass-by for various areas, including Florida. The Florida studies were used to
estimate the pass-by formula shown below and used herein.

Table 18 shows the travel parameters used to calculate road impact within Palm
Beach Gardens. The trip generation rates, that is the number of vehicular trips
per unit of development for a 24 hours period, are from the Institute of
Transportation Engineering. They have been modified to conform to the
residential unit size approach employed in Palm Beach Gardens. This is done by
using a fixed rate of 3.2 vehicular trips per persons per day. A trip rate of 3.2 per
capita approximates the per unit trip rates from the ITE Manual. The average
lengths of trips are for the West Palm Beach urban area. Trips within Palm
Beach Gardens would be less, 40% less. Additionally, only 47.85% of roads
within Palm Beach Gardens are city roads:
ROAD OWNERSHIP Miles %
All Roads in Palm Beach Gardens 119.75 miles 100.00%
Palm Beach Gardens 57.76 miles 48.23%
Palm Beach County 26.74 miles 22.33%
FL Dept. of Transportation 35.25 miles 29.44%
Thus, the demand on Palm Beach Gardens' roads is substantially reduced.

Palm Beach Gardens Impact Fees - August 8, 2011 35
Residential al impact fees are changed very little from 2004. Many non-
residential impact fees decline due to the reduction in the road impact fee.
Recall that the reduced road impact fee is due to more recent data and studies of
the gross and net impact of non-residential trips, especially of "convenience" trips
on the road system.

8. Administrative Issues
In 2006 the Florida Legislature passed and the Governor signed into law the
Florida Impact Fee Act of 2006, Section 163.31801, Florida Statutes. This
statute has several provisions that relate to Palm Beach Gardens:
• That impact fees must be based on the most recent data;
• That impact fees must be based on localized data;
• That administrative charges for the collection of impact fees be no more
than actual costs;
• That the City must account for and report of impact fee collections and
expenditures.
• The City must maintain impact fee revenues and expend impact fees from
separate accounting funds.
• That notice of the imposition or increase in an impact fee must be
provided no less than 90 days before the effective date of the ordinance;
and
• Audits of financial statements of the City which are perFormed by a
certified public accountant pursuant to s. 218.39 and submitted to the
Auditor General must include an affidavit signed by the chief financial
officer of the City stating that the City has complied with the Florida Impact
Fee Act of 2006.
The existing impact fees of Palm Beach Gardens were based on local data and
what then were the most recent data. This update is based on the most recent
and localized data for Palm Beach Gardens. Additionally, the City places impact
fees collected in separate accounting funds. The City may have to provide
annual accounting and reporting of impact fee collections and expenditures.
Additionally, the City will have to submit a signed affidavit by the Chief Financial
Officer stating that the provisions of the act have been complied with. The City
will need to study its costs of collecting and administering its impact fee program
and adjust any administrative change to that consistent with the results of the
study. This should be completed within the up-coming fiscal year. Lastly, at
least 90 days notice must be provided before any updated or increased impact
fees can be collected.

CITY OF P,4LM BEACH GARDENS
MEMORAfVDUM
TO: Ron Ferris, City Manager
DATE: August 15, 2011
. . C� �.�—�� -
FROM: Allan Owens, Finance Administrator
CC: Jack Doughney, Deputy City Manager
Natalie Wong, Director of Planning and Zoning
SUBJECT: Proposed Impact Fee Revisions
As we discussed, I have reviewed the most recent proposed revisions to fihe
City's impact fees, as outlined in the report prepared by Dr. James Nicholas
dated August 8, 2011 (copy attached), and the impact of these adjustments, if
adopted, on the City's Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and available
fund balances.
Also attached to this memorandum is a Five-Year CIP Projection for each of the
impact funds. This schedule also includes two projected ending unassigned
balances for each fund: one based on the current impact fee structure, and a
second one based on the proposed new impact fee structure.
Below is a summary of the effects on the projected ending available balances for
each fund if the new fee structure is implemented:
Fund Balance as of Balance as of Increase or
9/30/16 With 9/30/16 With (Decrease)
Current Rates Pro osed Rates
Road Impact $510,841 $190,568 $ 320,273
Recreation Im act 3,273,341 3,508,389 235,048
Fire Impact 1,578,858 1,164,015 (414,843)
Police Impact 1,082,914 1,276,354 193,440
As you can see, over a five year period, the estimated impacts from
implementation of the new fee schedule would vary, with increases to Recreation
and Police Impact revenues, while Road and Fire Impact revenues would
decrease.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This City-initiated amendment to the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) will update
the City's targeted expedited permitting program to reflect current City positions and
processes which are used to review economic development projects.
BACKGROUND
Over the past several years, the City Council of Palm Beach Gardens has recognized
the need to diversify the economic base. On January 6, 2005, Palm Beach Gardens'
City Council passed Ordinance 48, 2004, which made an Economic Development
Element part of the City's Comprehensive Plan. In February 2006, the City Council
adopted Ordinance 1, 2006, which set forth the code regulations for the City's Targeted
Expedited Permitting Program. The program gives qualifying applicants top priority
during the development review process and through the entire permitting process. The
program is an incentive to the business community because it saves the company
money by decreasing the amount of review time during the development review
process.
From 2003 to 2007, the City had an Economic Development Advisory Committee which
became the Economic Development Advisory Board (EDAB). This Board was
comprised of a cross-section of the business community. Over the years, the members
provided valuable insight to the City's recruitment and expansion efforts for economic
development. However, during the recession, the EDAB had more vacancies than
board members and the organizations were not interested in recommending members
to be appointed to the Board. Therefore, the EDAB has not had any appointed members
since 2007 and the City has discovered other successful ways to work with the business
community and its partnering agencies such as the Business Development Board
(BDB), regarding economic development initiatives.
PROPOSED CITY CODE AMENDMENT
Tar_qeted Expedited Permittinq Propram — proposed code revisions;
Staff recommends approval of a text amendment to the following Code Section. The

STAFF ANALYSIS
The proposed amendment updates the targeted expedited permitting program to reflect
the current and correct positions at the City. The amendment also removes the
Economic Development Advisory Board since it is no longer an active Board of the City.
The Targeted Expedited Permitting Program (TEPP) accelerates the planning, zoning,
and building permitting process. The Targeted Expedited Permitting Program is
available to companies that are expanding operations or moving into the City so that
value-added employment may be created at a faster pace. The Companies must meet
specific criteria in order to qualify for the Targeted Expedited Permitting Program.
Many businesses have applied and qualified for the TEPP. Some of the most recent
projects include Nova Southeastern University, TBC Corporation, the Chromalloy
Center for Excellence, and the Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center. The Targeted
Expedited Permitting Program provides qualifying projects an efficient process to
resolve issues in a timely manner through face-to-face meetings with a City
representative without sacrificing any requirements as established by the City's Code of
Ordinances.

Targeted Expedited Permitting Program.
•From 2003 to 2007, the City had an Economic

•Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center
•Chromalloy Center for Excellence
•TBC Corporation
•LRP Publications
•3i/Biomet
•Anspach
Proposed Changes

Board from the review process;
•Includes the Headquarters of a company as
eligible for TEPP; and
•Updates the process to reflect the correct
positions at the City which review projects for
economic development purposes.
Staff Recommendation
•Staff is recommending approval of
LDRA-11-07-000042.
