The cost basis includes all park types: neighborhood parks, community parks, natural areas, urban plazas, metropolitan parks, linear parks, and special use facilities, within the City's park system1. 1.2.1 Reimbursement Fee For the reimbursement fee, the cost basis is the sum of the value of the existing system inventory that will serve growth. The land and facilities are valued based on current replacement costs. The cost basis is adjusted for historical funding from external sources (Le., grants and contributions). Only the portions of existing parks funded through city funding sources are included in the cost basis. Tables 10 through 13 show the quantity of existing land and facilities by type that are assumed to be required for growth's capacity needs. The reimbursement fee cost basis is shown in Table 13. 1.2.2 Improvement Fee For the improvement fee, the cost basis is the sum of growth's share of individual projects from the Project List (with the exception of priority 5 projects). The project list represents the community's desired level of service over the planning period, as articulated through the PROS Comprehensive Plan development process. Projects or portions of projects that are (a) identified as "renovation" in the Project Plan, and/or (b) estimated to be funded through other City or non-City funds, are excluded from the cost basis. Table 14, derived from the Project List, shows the improvement fee cost basis. 1 The parks system includes some existing and planned park acres outside the urban growth boundary (UGB). These are included in the SDC cost basis, consistent with applicable law and in order to fully recover growth's costs of capacity; parks outside of the UGB were included in the planned LOS established by the community through the PROS planning process.
