BACKGROUND:
On January 28, 2003, the Board adopted the Mid-Coast Park and Recreation Development Fees Ordinance ("Ordinance") (San Mateo County Ordinance Code Chapter 2.64). The Ordinance established mitigation fees for (1) new residential development and (2) residential reconstruction or remodeling projects that increase the assessable space of an existing residence in the unincorporated Mid-Coast area of the County (i.e., the communities of Montara, Moss Beach, El Granada, Miramar, and Princeton). (Ordinance Code ?? 2.64.030, 2.64.040.) Farm labor housing projects and lower income housing projects are exempt from the fee. (Ordinance Code ? 2.64.110.) The fees collected are to be deposited in a Trust Fund and used to acquire or develop parks to be located in and primarily used by Mid-Coast residents (Ordinance Code ? 2.64.060).
The Ordinance was enacted pursuant to the Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code Section, 66000 et seq.), which regulates the collection, maintenance, spending, and accounting of impact fees. The Mitigation Fee Act requires that the County publish an annual report documenting the collection and use of impact fees and periodically (at least every five years) make certain findings about unexpended impact fees collected, whether committed or uncommitted.
