PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND FLEET The public buildings and fleet development fees are calculated using the incremental expansion approach. The components included in the fee consist of non-enterprise fund public buildings and vehicles and equipment that was not specifically identified in the other fee calculations of this report. All costs have been allocated to residential and nonresidential development and standards are calculated on a per capita basis for residential fees and square footage for nonresidential development.Average household size is used to determine the residential development fees while a per-1,000 square feet calculation is performed for nonresidential development. The table on the following page lists the City's current inventory of public buildings. City staff estimate similar downtown land to cost $871,200 per acre. The value of the City's current public buildings facilities inventory totals $12,191,594. Since 75% of the public building use is related to residential users, the value is adjusted accordingly. This value is divided by the current population resulting in a cost per person figure of $222.75 ($12,191,594 x 75% = $9,143,695 / 41,050 population = $222.75). To calculate the fee, the cost per capita is multiplied by the residential density of 2.11 for a fee of$470.00. Additional vehicles will also be needed as the City grows. The table on the next page lists the City's current inventory of vehicles used in general government operations. These vehicles have a total ,...., value of $1,084,584. This results in a per person cost of $20.22 for ($1,084,584 x 75% / 41,050 population =$19.82).To calculate the fee,the cost per capita is multiplied by the residential density of 2.11 for a fee of $41.82. The total residential public building and fleet impact fee would be $511.82. The nonresidential fee is computed by apportioning 25% of the public buildings and support vehicles to nonresidential use per 1,000 square feet. This value is then used to determine the fee of $259.78 for land, buildings and parking and $23.11 for support vehicles per 1,000 square feet of nonresidential. ($12,191,594 x 25%) / (11,732,249/1,000) = $259.78 + (1,084,584 x 25%) / (11,732,249/1,000) = $23.11 or a total nonresidential fee of$282.89.
