Ordinance No. 5639
Ordinance of the Council of the City of Palo Alto Amending the Fiscal Year 2025
Municipal Fee Schedule to Transition Certain Development Impact Fees from
Per-Unit to Per-Square Foot Fees
The Council of the City of Palo Alto ORDAINS as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings and Declarations. The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. On September 28, 2021, the Governor of the State of California signed Assembly Bill 602,
effective January 1, 2022, amending the Mitigation Fee Act (California Government Code
Section 66000 et seq.). AB 602 set forth a number of standards and practices for a local
government conducting a nexus study to support a development impact fee.
B. One of the requirements of AB 602 is that a study adopted after July 1, 2022 must either
calculate the proposed fee proportionately to the square footage of the proposed units
or make specified findings explaining why square footage is not an appropriate metric.
C. The City of Palo Alto currently imposes Park, Community Center, and Library development
impact fees on a per-dwelling unit basis.
D. Program 3.1 (Fees Waivers and Adjustments) of the City of Palo Alto 2023-2031 Housing
Element calls for development impact fees for residential development to be converted
from a per-dwelling unit to a per-square foot standard.
E. The City Council has determined that square footage is an appropriate metric for
calculating Park, Community Center, and Library development impact fees imposed on
residential development and desires to amend the Fiscal Year 2025 Municipal Fee
Schedule accordingly.
SECTION 2. The Council of the City of Palo Alto amends the Fiscal Year 2025 Municipal
Fee Schedule by adopting the new fee for Library, Community Center, and Park Residential
Development Impact Fees as set forth in Exhibit “A” and incorporated here by reference.
SECTION 3. The Council finds that this ordinance is not a “project” under CEQA
because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect
change in the environment.
