(3355) Parks and Recreation Impact Fee

The Park and Recreation Impact Fee was established pursuant to County Ordinance No. 542 (San Benito County Code Sections 5.01.120-126). The purpose of the Parks and Recreation Impact Fee is to acquire land and equipment and to construct recreational improvements to accommodate the County’s increased

resident population generated by new development. Park and Recreation Impact Fee revenue may also be used as local match for state and federal grants-in-aid programs for park and recreation development. County Resolution 2001-112 established the amount of the fee and a planned list of park facility improvements needed to accommodate the projected scope of new development in the unincorporated area of the County. A reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged is demonstrated by the continuing need to provide outdoor and recreational opportunities for residents of the County.
